I'm a body cultivator, so it's normal for me to destroy a star with one punch, right?

Chapter 125 Damn it, give me my money back!
11 pm.

Jiangnan Base City, Red Romantic Bath Center.

Several young talents from the base city in Liaoning Province emerged from their private rooms, satisfied, and gathered together to discuss the skill levels of the technicians they had just met.

"correct."

"Where's Brother Kun?"

A young man asked in surprise, "Why hasn't Brother Kun come out yet? He's usually the fastest to come out... The Northeast Spear King, he's good at all kinds of tricks and he's fast. It's been almost an hour today!"

"I heard that Brother Kun went to see an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor before..."

"Oh?"

Several promising young men were intrigued and began inquiring about the old Chinese medicine doctor's contact information.

then……

Another 30 minutes later.

"That's strange... Is that old Chinese medicine doctor really that amazing?"

"Brother Kun, Brother Kun!"

"That's enough, we have to go on stage tomorrow... Holy crap, where's Kun?"

"Could it be that Brother Kun finished too early and got jealous of our abilities, so he went back to the hotel first?"

…………

Xie Kun had a strange dream.

In dream...

He was sparring with several technicians at the Red Romantic Bath Center, demonstrating his skills as the "Northeast Flower Spear King," and had the technicians fleeing in disarray... Then, suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his head and lost consciousness.

Vaguely.

He also dreamed that he seemed to be put into a sack.

Then I stuffed it into the trash can...

He dragged himself to the alley behind the clubhouse with a trash can and threw himself into the back of a pickup truck.

I don’t know how long it took.

The pickup truck appeared to be parked in the darkness.

Immediately...

It felt as if someone was carrying me on their shoulders as we ran...

…………

Jiangnan base city.

outside the city.

wilderness.

Jiang He carried a sack and strode swiftly into the depths of the wilderness.

He was extremely fast, running wildly all the way, and in no time he had covered sixty or seventy kilometers.

At this moment……

A soft "hmm" came from inside the sack.

Jiang He was startled and quickly grabbed the sack, slamming it to the ground with a "thud".

The sack was torn apart because of the excessive force used.

Xie Kun rolled out of the sack.

His eyes remained closed, and he remained in a "coma" state.

He was completely naked, wearing only a pair of big shorts.

He rolled Xie Kun up in the torn sack, hoisted it onto his shoulder again, and the river began to rush forward once more... He ran another seventy or eighty kilometers into the wilderness and found an abandoned town ahead.

The river rushed into the town and found a building that hadn't collapsed, so it crawled inside.

He casually threw Xie Kun on the ground, then took out several tendons from a sixth-grade ferocious beast from his storage space and tied Xie Kun up like a dumpling.

Jiang He clapped his hands and said with a look of relief, "It's done... I just need to stall him until 8 a.m. tomorrow. He won't be able to go on stage to compete then. According to the rules of the martial arts competition, he will be considered to have forfeited, and Yun Yanchen will naturally win."

At this time.

Xie Kun grunted a few more times, showing signs of waking up.

Jiang He frantically pulled the stockings over his head and quickly drew his S-grade alloy battle knife, placing it against Xie Kun's neck.

Kidnapping...

After all, it was his first time doing this.

It's understandable that he's a little nervous.

At that moment, Xie Kun slowly opened his eyes.

His dazed eyes were filled with confusion, and the three consecutive thoughts about life involuntarily flashed through his mind...

who am I?
where am i from?
Where are you going?
After a moment of confusion, Xie Kun came to his senses. His expression changed as he felt the cold blade against his neck and the strong, ferocious tendons of his body. His face darkened, and he asked, "Who are you?"

"I don't think I have any grudge against you."

"Why did you tie me up?"

Jiang He sneered and said, "Xie Guangkun, I have my reasons for kidnapping you... Don't ask any questions, just lie here obediently, and I will release you when it's light tomorrow!"

Will it be dawn tomorrow?

Xie Kun panicked: "I have a very important match tomorrow... Brother, is there some misunderstanding between us? Besides, my name isn't Xie Guangkun!"

"???"

Jiang He's expression froze beneath her stockings, and she asked in surprise, "Aren't you Xie Guangkun? Did I kidnap the wrong person?"

He took out his notebook from the storage space.

He glanced at the first page and said, "Sorry, I misremembered... Your name is Xie Kun? Then that's it, you're the one I tied up!"

Xie Kun wanted to turn around and look at Jiang He's face.

Jiang He tightened his grip on the S-rank Shadow Blade and sneered, "Xie Kun, have you thought this through... If you see my face, I'll have no choice but to kill you to silence you!"

Xie Kun: "..."

boom!
His internal energy erupted instantly, and his sharp martial arts intent surged forth as he said in a deep voice, "I, the Northeast Flower Spear King, am at least a half-step Grandmaster. You don't think you can trap me with such simple tricks, do you?"

puff!

The sixth-grade ferocious beast tendons binding him were instantly broken, and the broken tendons shot towards the river like bullets.

Jiang He instinctively drew his knife to block.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xie Kun flashed away and escaped Jiang He's control.

He looked at the river.

Although Jiang He was wearing stockings, and it was nighttime.

But Xie Kun recognized Jiang He at a glance and exclaimed, "Jiang He?"

no way.

The stockings Jiang He wore on his head were too thin...

"grass!"

Jiang He ripped off his stockings, cursing, "I disguised myself so well... I didn't expect you to still recognize me!"

"no!"

Xie Kun was completely bewildered and shouted, "Jiang He, I have no grudge against you, why did you kidnap me?"

Jiang He naturally couldn't tell the truth.

Boom!

He channeled his inner energy, unleashing a burst of 92430 kilograms of power. With the boost of twice the power of the Great Sage Fist, he punched Xie Kun, angrily shouting, "No enmity whatsoever?" "Xie Kun!"

"Think carefully about your conscience... Have you said anything bad about me behind my back these past few days?"

The two instantly clashed.

How could that abandoned building withstand their outburst?
Xie Kun is skilled with a gun. Now that he has no gun in his hand, his combat power is reduced by at least 30%, which is equivalent to Tian Jie, who has just stepped into the half-step Grandmaster realm!
Even without burning the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique, Jiang He could still unleash a punch force of over 18 kilograms with just the Great Sage Fist. This explosive power alone was comparable to that of some ordinary half-step Grandmasters.

In addition, his physical body was so strong that he could almost ignore the attacks of martial artists of the same level. When he fought, his moves were completely unpredictable, making it impossible for Xie Kun to defend against him... For a time, he was evenly matched with Xie Kun!
Xie Kun became increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed. He exchanged a punch with Jiang He, and both of them retreated three steps.

"Jiang He... it seems the whole world underestimates you!"

"I thought your strength was unleashed by the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique... but I never expected that at only 20 years old, you would have already cultivated the Way of the Body to such a level. I'm afraid that in time, our Great Xia will give birth to another Body Refinement Grandmaster!"

Jiang He: "Enough with the nonsense. Have you been badmouthing me behind my back these past few days?"

Xie Kun hesitated for a second before saying, "I did talk about you behind your back with my friends, saying things like, 'How did you, a lunatic, manage to cultivate to such a high level...'"

I rub!

boom!
Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique, activate!

brush!
Jiang He appeared in front of Xie Kun in a blur, punching him to the ground and roaring, "You son of a bitch... you actually cursed me behind my back?"

He pinned Xie Kun to the ground and gave him another beating.

This style of play...

It's usually used by kids on the street who don't know martial arts!

After all, martial arts have now been popularized in nine years of compulsory education. After children's bodies have grown up, they have been formally learning basic martial arts skills since high school, and they all know a few moves more or less.

Xie Kun, a dignified half-step grandmaster, never imagined that one day he would be pinned to the ground and beaten.
puff!
He was driven to desperation by the beating, and while spitting blood, he cried out, "Stop hitting me... Stop hitting me... Ahhhhh, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts... Jiang He, I wasn't insulting you, it was just teasing you. Go out and ask around, who doesn't tease you like that when they talk about you in private?"

Jiang He: "..."

He paused for a moment, then punched Xie Kun unconscious. His eyes darted around, and suddenly he burst out laughing.

Have people been criticizing me behind my back?
From then on, when I tied up other people...

Doesn't that give you an excuse?
Otherwise, kidnapping someone for no reason would sound terrible if word got out.

2024, April 10.

The 5th National Youth Martial Arts Competition officially kicked off early this morning!
The venue, which could hold 100,000 people, was packed to capacity. Amidst the anticipation of countless spectators, Wang Dalaba took the stage. After babbling a few words, he began, "I hereby announce that the 5th National Youth Martial Arts Competition has officially begun... Please prepare yourselves, contestants!"

"Mo Sang from Qinghu Base City, Yan Xuebing from Jiangzhe Base City... Please make your entrance!"

A cheer erupted.

The two contestants then took the stage.

After exchanging fist salutes, they began to fight.

The two were evenly matched in cultivation and both used swords. For a moment, sword energy filled the arena, filling the sky. Many spectators cheered excitedly, while others looked tense...

Obviously.

Many viewers placed bets.

The two initially held back, but gradually... the fight intensified, with various deadly moves being unleashed!
puff!

Mo Sang, from Qinghu Base City, was stabbed in the left shoulder by a sword, and blood splattered everywhere.

His sword tip stopped three inches from Yan Xuebing's throat!

A look of regret flashed across Yan Xuebing's face. He sheathed his sword, clasped his hands, and said, "Brother Mo, what courage you have! You even used your own arm as bait to lure me into revealing a weakness... I accept defeat wholeheartedly in this battle!"

Seeing that he admitted defeat.

Mo Sang then sheathed his sword, tapped his fingers to seal the wound on his shoulder, and laughed, "With modern medicine so advanced, this injury is nothing... Brother Yan, you flatter me, I'll treat you to a drink later!"

soon.

The second group of contestants took the stage.

These two contestants, one was a half-step Grandmaster, and the other, although he had cultivated the true meaning of martial arts, had not yet stepped into the half-step Grandmaster realm. However, his swordsmanship was extremely fierce, and he had also cultivated an extremely powerful secret technique. Relying on the burst of the secret technique, he actually fought more than two hundred moves with the half-step Grandmaster, and finally lost by half a move.

The victorious half-step grandmaster was panting heavily, with more than a dozen knife wounds on his body. He clasped his hands and said, "If you and I were to fight to the death, the outcome would be uncertain... I was able to win this battle only because I am a year older than you and have a slightly higher cultivation level. It would be an unfair victory."

The swordsman snorted coldly and said, "A victory is a victory. Why bring up the issue of it being unsportsmanlike?"

He was more seriously injured and jumped off the ring.

Wang Dalaba announced the competition results, saying, "Please welcome the third group of contestants to the stage... Yun Yanchen from Xixia Base City, and Xie Kun from Liao Province Base City!"

Yun Yanchen strode towards the arena.

With each step she took, a ball of water condensed beneath her feet, and finally, she leaped and landed on the arena.

only……

Xie Kun did not appear.

A murmur of disappointment rippled through the room.

Two more minutes passed, and Xie Kun still hadn't stepped onto the stage. Yun Yanchen's eyes flickered with surprise... According to the competition rules, if one side fails to step onto the stage within three minutes of the start of the match, it is considered a forfeit!

She came with the determination to "do her best".

Who would have thought this would happen?
The murmurs in the hall grew louder and louder, with many audience members starting to hurl profanities, and even the staff of the competition organizers whispering among themselves.

Wang the loudspeaker spoke again, asking, "Where is Xie Kun?"

"Xie Kun from the base city of Liaoning Province, please come up on stage if you hear me..."

He channeled his inner energy and unleashed his superpowers. His voice boomed like thunder, carrying for a full 10 kilometers!

And this moment.

10 kilometers away.

Xie Kun sprinted away, his eyes bloodshot, his face contorted as if he had gone mad!

Beside him.

Jiang He said, "Xie Guangkun, forget it... give up, you won't make it."

"Ahhhhh!!!"

Xie Kun realized there was no time left. He collapsed to the ground, clutching his chest... Suddenly, he jumped up and roared, "Jiang He, I'll fight you to the death!"

state!
Jiang He punched him to the ground and cursed, "You son of a bitch, you cursed me behind my back, and I didn't break your legs. Instead, I let you participate in the competition. Instead of thanking me, you dare to hit me?"

"You missed it because you were too slow!"

"What? Did I carry you too far?"

…………

"Three minutes are up."

at the same time.

at the venue.

Wang Dalaba loudly announced: "Due to Xie Kun's withdrawal, Yunyanchen from Xixia Base City wins!"

A thunderous roar of curses erupted from the audience!
"Shadow!"

"It must be a cover-up!"

"Fuck you, give me my money back!"

A martial artist unleashed the Lion's Roar technique... This curse ignited the anger in the hearts of many viewers, and tens of thousands shouted in unison: "Fuck you, give us our money back!"

because……

There is a significant gap in strength between Yun Yanchen and Xie Kun.

and so……

They almost exclusively bought Xie Kunsheng's products!
