Chapter 9: The Power of Black Qi
Chen Ran walked along the passage and soon arrived at the backyard lounge. There is a large floor-to-ceiling window in the lounge, from which you can see the scene inside the arena, which is used for the participants to watch the game.
At this time, the three referees happened to be taking the roll call, Chen Ran glanced around, Shen Feng and Xiao Yu were there, they found Chen Ran coming in, and they all showed playful smiles. Both of them are Chen Ran's enemies, Chen Ran wants to defeat them, and those two also want to knock down Chen Ran.
In the individual fighting competition, in addition to not being able to kill people, it is okay to be injured or disabled, so Shen Feng and Xiao Yu didn't think about keeping their hands.
Most of the students present were senior students, and there were some intermediate students who wanted to be promoted to the advanced class, and of course, there were a few junior students who wanted to try their luck. What's more, there is only one girl among the contestants, just like a little green among the thousands of flowers, which is very conspicuous.
And Shen Yan and Lu Fei, whom Chen Ran knew, were not here. In fact, they were originally going to sign up, but they were stopped by Shen Feng, because they were afraid that Chen Ran and the two little guys would face each other, and there would be no reason if they were beaten up.
The referee asked Chen Ran's name, and then made a big stroke on the small notebook, which was considered to be signed.
After that, a few more people came, and the referee looked at the timing hourglass, and then said: "The check-in time has passed, and those who do not come will be regarded as abstaining." The individual fight will take place in half an hour, with a total of 48 applicants, and 46 people actually participated. You will have a two-on-one duel, the number of matches has been planned, and the personnel who will face off on the spot will be notified ten minutes before the start of the match. ”
"There were only two people who didn't come, and it seems that no one was backing down. Chen Ran thought.
Everyone was nervous, and a few people were still shaking. What Chen Ran didn't know was that before coming here, many people didn't know that Shen Feng and Xiao Yu would compete. After seeing the two of them here, most of them were timid.
The only girl aroused Chen Ran's interest, she was very beautiful, and she was not very old, but this was not the point, the calmness on her face made Chen Ran admire it very much, and she was surrounded by many boys, who seemed to protect her like a flower messenger.
Time passed minute by minute, and suddenly a thin student shouted: "Referee, I suddenly have a stomachache, I want to abstain from this competition!"
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and suddenly many students in the beginner and intermediate classes planned to abstain. Chen Ran was stunned, and the referee swept these people coldly and said, "Okay, you guys come to sign the retirement form one by one." ”
These people who withdrew from the competition will inevitably suffer punishment, but compared to punishment, fighting with Shen Feng and Xiao Yu is of course more miserable. Ten minutes before the start of the game, no one was allowed to retire, so about 20 people chose to retire as soon as possible.
Half of the people went at once, Shen Feng and Xiao Yu smiled smugly, and the girl was also like a nobody. Most of the rest are people who know Shen Feng and Xiao Yu, and a few who plan to gamble for further education, only Chen Ran's purpose is different. If his purpose was known to the people present, it is estimated that everyone would laugh at him, no one would believe that a fifteen-year-old boy could defeat the two strongest people in the Dark Cloud Academy......
Soon it was ten minutes before the start of the game, and the referee shouted: "The first duel will be played by Chen Ran, the junior second class of the Military Department, and the senior third class of the Engineering Department." ”
Chen Ran took the first step, and then a strong man who was two heads taller than him walked out. He glanced at Chen Ran, then smiled contemptuously.
The referee said, "You two come with me." ”
The three of them entered another passage, and Xiao Yu whispered behind him, "Shen Feng, you have arranged it well." ”
Shen Feng just snorted coldly.
That's right, Shen Feng had already used his family connections to let the referee group according to his ideas. This first game is particularly important, Qiang Wei is a well-known stunned young man, and his strength is also very strong, just to fight with Chen Ran first, and it is also good to explore Chen Ran's reality. If Chen Ran fails, he can laugh at him for a while, and there is nothing to lose to himself anyway.
Chen Ran didn't know that he was being calculated, and he and Qiang Wei followed the referee directly into the center of the arena. This arena can accommodate tens of thousands of people watching the game, of course, there are not so many people watching at the moment, but there are also quite a few, and there are thousands of people clamoring.
When the referee led the participants in, the spectators were silent.
The referee introduced the two sides, first introducing Qiang Wei, which caused a burst of cheers from the audience. Then there was Chen Ran, who heard that he was a student of the junior class, and there were both exclamations and boos at the scene.
Chen Ran glanced at the spectators, and finally found Mi Cai and Xu Lai, and waved his hand at them to say hello, which caused everyone to talk about it.
"Quiet!" the referee shouted, then stepped aside and said, "There is only one rule of the game, that is, you can't beat the opponent to death." Now I announce that the first match of the individual fighting competition of the Athletic Ceremony starts now!"
Qiang Wei touched his fist, and his fighting spirit burst out instantly. He saw that Chen Ran was still greeting the stands, and he suddenly became angry and smashed Chen Ran with a punch.
The moment the fist reached Chen Ran's eyes, his eyes flashed with a hint of sharpness, and then flashed sideways, easily avoiding Qiang Wei's fist.
Qiangwei's attack missed, and he stomped his feet in anger, and his fighting spirit gathered into his fist in a frenzy. This time he didn't attack, but slammed straight into the ground.
I saw that the fist smashed to the ground, and there didn't seem to be a wave, but Chen Ran felt a fighting spirit appear in the ground, and it was attacking him fiercely.
This fighting qi came too quickly, and the range was very large, Chen Ran quickly jumped up, and as soon as his palms came out, a round shield formed by the convergence of black qi blocked under him.
At the same time, the violent fighting qi poured out from the ground, and suddenly the sand and stones splashed everywhere, and there was a loud "boom", the black gas shield collapsed, and Chen Ran was shocked and thrown into the distance.
Qiang Wei thumped his chest, then raised his hands in the air, as if he had won.
It's just that the scene was unusually quiet, there was no cheers, and everyone looked at Chen Ran who slowly stood up with bated breath.
Chen Ran patted the dust on his body, and he was not injured at all.
Qiang Wei's eyes widened, and he muttered in disbelief: "How is it possible, my Earth Collapse Fist actually has no effect at all, this is impossible!"
Frightened, Qiang Wei began to slam his fist into the ground.
Chen Ran was very calm, and the blow just now had already made him figure out his strength. Qiang Wei should be a four-vein fighting master, one realm worse than Shen Feng and Xiao Yu. Don't underestimate this realm, the strength of the two is very different.
The underground fighting spirit was surging, Chen Ran squatted down unhurriedly, slapped his palms on the ground, and the majestic black qi poured into the ground, constantly eliminating and dissolving the fighting energy, and the originally trembling ground quickly calmed down.
Qiang Wei's eyes were wide, and the spectators naturally couldn't see the situation underground, so they were puzzled one by one.
Suddenly, a cloud of black gas gushed out from Qiang Wei's feet, as if it was about to envelop his whole person.
His face went from frightened to bloodless, and he finally collapsed. The black gas dissipated, and everyone saw Qiang Wei lying motionless on the ground, and immediately let out an exclamation.
Chen Ran smiled helplessly, the ability of black qi is to eliminate, and Qiang Wei's fall to the ground is naturally not the effect of black qi, but he fainted. That's fine, Chen Ran looked in one direction, Shen Feng, Xiao Yu and others were looking at him through the floor-to-ceiling windows, this battle didn't expose too much of his strength, it was a good thing.
Shen Feng in the lounge cursed: "Qiang Wei, this guy shows off his martial arts on weekdays, but he turns out to be pretending!"
Xiao Yu was also very solemn, and he asked in a low voice, "Do you see that kid's strength?"
Shen Feng shook his head, his face cloudy.
The referee announced the result of the game, and then took Chen Ran back to the lounge, as for Qiang Wei, who fainted, naturally the students of the medical department carried him down for treatment.
In the lounge, those who had not paid attention to Chen Ran were now looking at him with complicated eyes, and they were more afraid. Qiang Wei's strength in the Dark Cloud Academy was already very strong, but he was defeated by a kid who came out of nowhere, to put it mildly, it was too shocking.
The referee reported the next group of opponents, and Chen Ran leaned against the wall, without any intention of watching the battle. In fact, in the first round, Shen Feng and Xiao Yu both had byes, and their opponents had abstained, so they couldn't see the level of the two.
Because of the large number of people who withdrew from the competition, the first round ended quickly, and there were nearly twenty people left.
"The second round will take place in an hour and you will only have to rest in the lounge. The referee explained.
Shen Feng suddenly walked up and whispered a few words to the referee, they didn't seem to want others to hear, and then entered the passage to talk.
After a while, the voice of the chief referee came from the depths of the passage: "Do you think that your Shen family can be lawless? The things promised before have been done, and now it's too late to change them!"
Then the referee came out of the passage menacingly, and Shen Feng came out with a tense face, looking unhappy.
Everyone was wondering, and the referee suddenly said: "In the first duel of the second round, Shen Feng, the senior class of the Military Department, will face Chen Ran, the junior class of the Military Department!
Chen Ran understood, it seems that Shen Feng made sense of the referee before the game. It's just that he was too anxious, originally he thought that he could easily defeat Chen Ran, so he made such an arrangement, but he didn't expect Chen Ran's strength to exceed his imagination.
Shen Feng wanted to rearrange the game, but the referee didn't agree. The Shen family did have a status in Dark Cloud City, so the referee gave in at first, not to mention that he also received some benefits. But the academy of each city-state was under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Ministry of Education, and the Shen family could not shake the academy, so it was impossible for the referee to back down again and again, and he even advanced the game in a fit of anger.
Chen Ran appeared casually, and Shen Feng came on the stage with a haze.
The unsuspecting audience cheered, of course, they were cheering for Shen Feng. His younger brother Shen Yan was also in the audience, and he encouraged a group of nobles to cheer up.
The referee made an introduction, and then said directly: "The first duel of the second round begins!"
Shen Feng didn't move, and Chen Ran didn't move either. Looking at the faint smile on Chen Ran's face, Shen Feng had mixed feelings in his heart, and his hands suddenly changed into double knives, attacking straight towards Chen Ran......
