Chapter 17 – Sanda Special Training and Actual Combat (Seven)

The situation’s development had clearly exceeded everyone’s expectations, leaving all present utterly astonished.

Ye Kuang continuously blocked the frenzied punches, momentarily finding no opportunity to counterattack.

He could only retreat step by step, gradually stabilizing his footing.

Yet it must be said, regardless of a person’s punching speed, strength ultimately has its limits.

As the saying goes: first comes vigor, then decline, and finally exhaustion!

When the final moment arrived, it would be Ye Kuang’s time for complete retaliation.

Man Lang: “Aaaah…”

But what no one could have anticipated was that Ye Kuang had still underestimated Man Lang’s enduring explosive power.

He truly allowed himself to become like a sandbag, enduring the opponent’s frenzied output.

One could say, with the situation repeating like this, his defeat was only a matter of time!

Thinking this, Ye Kuang’s feet suddenly stirred with wind and thunder, unmistakably executing “Sweeping Army”.

Seeing this, Man Lang instead laughed wildly: “I’ve been waiting for this moment!”

Man Lang stepped forward, actually grabbing Ye Kuang’s thigh, then forcefully executed a shoulder throw!

In that instant, even the spectators were struck dumb, completely losing their composure.

If this landed solidly, it would certainly result in broken bones and tendons.

Yet to everyone’s astonishment, Ye Kuang grabbed Man Lang’s neck, twisted mid-air, and directly mounted his shoulders, then began pummeling his head with bare fists.

Thud thud thud…

Man Lang sustained repeated heavy blows, immediately feeling dizzy and disoriented.

Following this, Man Lang bit the tip of his tongue, forcibly pulled on the ropes, and using the rebound force, threw both himself and Ye Kuang toward the Arena.

BAM!!!

The impact resonated like heavenly drums bursting, deafening to the ears!

Ye Kuang’s body rolled aside from the momentum, inevitably trembling physically and mentally, but without hesitation he summoned the power of Eighteen Palms.

As True Qi flowed through his limbs and bones, he finally felt slightly better, and his eyes widened like bull’s eggs.

Because he suddenly discovered that Internal Energy actually possessed healing properties…

Meanwhile, Man Lang appeared unaffected, twisting his body around and suddenly unleashing a Springing Leg sweep.

Chaos!

The leg’s wind rivaled storm and thunder, its eruption was unstoppable!

Ye Kuang forcibly suppressed his inner excitement, raising his hands into the Eighteen Palms stance.

This scene naturally puzzled the spectators.

But Ye Kuang suddenly roared: “Dragon Regrets!!!”

Roar!

This thunderclap exploded overhead, forcing everyone to cover their ears.

Before their eyes, not only did the ropes sway violently, but the hanging lights also shattered in response.

Then one could see strands of golden light suddenly gathering like wind and clouds, creating a scene as if in a dream.

As these luminous streams surged forward, gradually materializing from void to substance, distinct tiger roars and dragon cries could be heard within!

In an instant, Ye Kuang’s arms became like impregnable bronze walls.

Speaking of slow, happening fast!

Boom!

Man Lang’s leg swept against the iron arm, suddenly producing a startling air explosion.

Simultaneously, Man Lang seemed struck by a strange force, his entire body sent flying backward.

“Man Lang!!!”

In that moment, Ma Xiu and others couldn’t help but cry out in alarm.

The Arena stood three meters high – if Man Lang fell to the ground from this height, he would surely suffer broken bones.

Seeing this, Ye Kuang couldn’t help but share the same thought.In an instant, his right fist tore through the boxing glove, transforming into a dragon’s claw that swiftly retracted toward his chest and abdomen.

Dragon Capture Skill!

The speed was like a golden lightning flash, too fast for the naked eye to follow.

Ye Kuang roared with all his might.

Mid-air, it was as if an invisible claw had dragged Man Lang back into the arena.

Only then did the crowd grasp what had happened.

There was shock, fear, and confusion…

Had they not witnessed it with their own eyes, they would hardly believe such a miraculous technique existed in this world.

For a moment, even Man Lang himself was shaken: Was this really Ye Kuang?

“What was that just now?”

“I… I don’t know either,” Ye Kuang stammered.

This bewildering technique had shattered their conventional understanding.

If Ye Kuang were to reveal the secrets of the Nine Yin Manual, it would inevitably stir a storm of bloodshed in the martial world.

Hearing this, Man Lang couldn’t help but feel somewhat disappointed. Though he had many guesses about the extraordinary technique, he dared not confirm any of them.

After all, anyone would find it unbelievable.

Moreover, everyone has their secrets, so it was best not to pry too deeply.

With this thought, Man Lang suddenly declared, “That’s enough. You’ve won.”

At these words, the faces of the event managers turned pale.

Their highly paid Sanshou instructor had been defeated!

And worse, he had lost to an unknown newcomer.

In that moment, even the disciples of the martial arts school were no exception—their faces ashen, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.

They were all novices themselves, some even top contenders for the competition.

But after witnessing Ye Kuang’s terrifying prowess, they couldn’t help but abandon their earlier contempt.

Seeing this, Ma Xiu felt immensely proud, as Ye Kuang was her recommendation.

She then turned to the elders, smiling faintly. “Elder Yan, Elder Shi, what are your thoughts?”

Elder Yan, the oldest and most senior among them, was also one of the founders of Yinghao Martial Hall.

Beaming with delight, Elder Yan burst into laughter. “Excellent, excellent! Proceed as you see fit. The Ma family truly produces exceptional talents…”

But before he could finish, he let out a sigh.

Ma Xiu was thrilled—if Ye Kuang could secure a ranking, it would hold immense significance for her.

“Sister Ma, I’d like to take a four-month break…”

Just as everyone was brimming with confidence about the upcoming competition, a soft voice drifted over.

Ma Xiu turned to Ye Kuang, visibly irritated. “Do you realize what you’re saying…? Have you forgotten our agreement?”

To her, Ye Kuang was a crucial piece in her plans, and she would not tolerate any mishaps in this competition.

Ye Kuang: “…”

Seeing his silence, Ma Xiu grew even angrier. “Give me a reason!”

Hearing this, Ye Kuang fell silent. How could he say he needed to return home to study martial arts? No one would believe such an excuse.

Ma Xiu, however, swiftly stepped onto the stage, her eyes fixed intently on him.

At this, Ye Kuang dared not reveal any details about the Nine Yin Manual. Yet, bound by his prior commitment, how could he go back on his word?

In that moment, he felt as frantic as an ant on a hot pan.”Give… me… one… reason!” Ma Xiu spoke through gritted teeth, word by word.

Her posture suggested she would immediately take action if Ye Kuang couldn’t provide a convincing reason!

Instead, Ye Kuang smiled wryly: “There are many people here. Could we talk in private?”

“Hmm?” Hearing this, Ma Xiu couldn’t help but feel suspicious.

It must be said that after two months of interaction, she had already gained some understanding of Ye Kuang’s character.

Ye Kuang didn’t seem like someone who would speak without purpose. If he wasn’t explaining publicly, there must be a reason!

Thinking this, Ma Xiu immediately agreed.

Seeing this, the crowd tactfully moved aside.

Ye Kuang followed closely behind Ma Xiu into a training room. After closing the door, he asked: “I presume Sister Ma comes from a prominent family?”

Hearing this, Ma Xiu suddenly interrupted Ye Kuang: “Right now we’re discussing your reason, not speculating about my identity. Please understand the situation!”

Ye Kuang didn’t know how to explain upon hearing this. Just as the words reached his lips, he actually felt regret.

After brief consideration, he pointed at a dumbbell and asked: “What does Sister Ma think of this dumbbell?”

Ma Xiu: “…”

Ye Kuang couldn’t help but feel a headache coming on, then began explaining on his own: “This dumbbell is exceptionally hard. According to normal logic, it should be difficult to leave any marks on it. What happens next might seem too mysterious, Sister Ma, watch carefully…”

Before he finished speaking, he reached out with one hand.

That flowing light quietly reappeared, accompanied by roaring sounds resembling tigers and dragons. Unexpectedly, several marks appeared on the dumbbell’s surface.

Witnessing this, Ma Xiu couldn’t help but widen her eyes and open her small mouth, clearly still somewhat incredulous.

Ye Kuang: “This is my reason…”

After saying this, he appeared greatly relieved, letting out a long exhale.

…Four hours later.

Watching Ye Kuang’s gradually receding figure, Ma Xiu finally explained to the confused crowd: “Elder Yan, Elder Shi, this young man will surely astonish everyone in four months!”

Speaking to this point, she couldn’t help but guarantee once more: “As for Ye Kuang’s training matters, there’s no need to worry too much. I will bear all consequences. Let’s end today’s Sanshou special training and practical combat here.”
