In My Head There is an Alchemy Emperor
Chapter 99: The Surprised Crowd
“Alright, let's do it!” Tang Siyu thought about it for a moment before agreeing.
Chu Yunfan nodded with a smile. Tang Siyu was already at the peak of the fifth level Qi Sea Stage the second – after the class monitors of the two focus classes, Zhang Teng and Ou Yang. Chu Yunfan wanted to use this battle to test his strength.
News of their upcoming spar session spread throughout the classroom like wildfire. Since the class division assessment, most of the people in Class 2 were not much different from before. Their current position has not changed much since then. However, some students have made amazing strides. Among them, the two most advanced were Chu Yunfan and Tang Siyu.
Chu Yunfan had been one of the elite students of the martial arts stream during the class division assessment. Now, he was already one of the best among those at the top. He is a strong contender for some of the top 20 spots. Although Tang Siyu had long been an elite student and had a pretty good reputation in school, people looked at her differently. He was widely known as a powerhouse who only came second after the class monitor, Ou Yang and Zhang Teng.
Therefore, the fight between Chu Yunfan and Tang Siyu would definitely be interesting to witness. Even the Grade 1 students who were aware of the news rushed into the Class 2 training room.
At this moment, Chu Yunfan and Tang Siyu were already in the training room and stood facing each other. All around them, they were surrounded by Grade 1, Grade 2, and even other well-rounded grade students.
On one of the surrounding tables, Ou Yang stood there with his hands behind his back as he observed the two in the middle. The news of the battle even attracted him. This was because these two people had risen at an astounding rate, especially Tang Siyu. At first, Tang Siyu was clearly more prominent than Chu Yunfan and there was a clear gap between them. However, now, he was actually only second only to Ou Yang and was a threat to his position in Class 2.
And then there was Chu Yunfan. Although he was currently not as strong as Tang Siyu, in Ou Yang's eyes, Chu Yunfan posed a greater threat than Tang Siyu. It would not be long before Chu Yunfan would be on par with him.
A moment later, another figure appeared among the crowd. It was none other than the Class 1 monitor, Zhang Teng.
The two class monitors exchanged glances and immediately understood the other's intentions. It was clear that they took Chun Yunfan and Tang Siyu seriously and considered them a threat. That was why they had come to check on the enemy.
“You first!” Tang Siyu looked at Chu Yunfan with her beautiful eyes as she spoke.
Chu Yunfan did not hesitate and immediately attacked with his sword.
Clangs! A dazzling light flashed through the air. After which, the Shadowless Sabre slashed towards Tang Siyu.
Voom!
The air was torn apart by the Shadowless Blade which was filled with True Energy, the sound from the vibration of the blades carried through the air.
Chu Yunfan's attack was extremely fast. Not many can follow his movements. Some just saw the escape. Then, his sword arrived in front of Tang Siyu. Many people cried out in shock as if they had already predicted Tang Siyu being cut and injured.
And at this moment, Tang Siyu's simple double-edged sword moved. The sword beam met the sword light and blocked the incoming attack.
Clangs!
Chu Yunfan was slightly surprised. He knew how strong his attack was. It was so powerful that even the Armored Sword Tooth Tiger had been forced to retreat. However, Tang Siyu barely moved. After a stream of True Energy flowed through his body just once, he managed to block his attack. Chu Yunfan immediately knew his physical superiority, which he was very proud of, was not much of an advantage in front of a martial artist like Tang Siyu who was much stronger than him.
The other party could rely on his profound martial arts base to deal with it.
Chu Yunfan took a step forward. At the same time, the sword in his hand slashed downwards. It immediately followed after the previous slash. This was the Earth-breaking Sword Technique. One slash after another, sword momentum was built up and there was no end to it. Each slash was more powerful and terrifying than the previous one. Clangs!
Clangs!
Clangs! The two sides continued to exchange blows and the sound of metal clashing also continued.
Gao Hongzhi, who was watching from the side, instantly saw the difference between him and Tang Siyu. He also frequently exchanged blows with Chu Yunfan. Although he was known for his innate heavenly strength, after exchanging three blows with Chu Yunfan, he often started to lag behind. After ten moves, the approaching end would be visible. If Chu Yunfan was ruthless, he could even end the battle in ten moves.
However, Tang Siyu was able to argue with Chu Yunfan in a lively manner. In the blink of an eye, more than ten movements had passed, but he was not suppressed in the slightest. As for the others, what they were complaining about was not this, but that Chu Yunfan was actually able to defend against Tang Siyu.
“Both have gone up. Chu Yunfan was already at the fourth level Qi Sea Stage, and Tang Siyu had already stepped into the fifth! Ou Yang commented as he watched the battle between the two sides.
He was quite surprised. He recalled that the strength of the two had not been at this level just half a month ago - especially Chu Yunfan who had made a breakthrough during the battle with that monster. Many people have witnessed this. At that moment, Chu Yunfan's speed and strength suddenly increased. Everyone saw him and knew that he had made a breakthrough. But they did not expect that Chu Yunfan would make another breakthrough after only two weeks.
To break through twice in a month — such speed is indeed surprising.
Moreover, what surprised Ou Yang even more was that Chu Yunfan's foundation did not waver in the slightest. Chu Yunfan's control of True Energy showed that his foundation was solid.
On one side, Ou Yang's eyes were filled with astonishment, while on the other, Zhang Teng's eyes were emitting hatred. If the two continued like this, wouldn't they soon be on equal footing with him? One Ou Yang is enough, not two more. Being surpassed by Chu Yunfan and Tang Siyu was something he had never thought of. How is such a thing possible?
Other students had also seen through the cultivation of the two warriors, but it was precisely because of this that they were even more amazed. Chu Yunfan, who was at the fourth level Qi Sea Stage, was actually able to defend against Tang Siyu who was at the peak of the fifth level Qi Sea Stage. Chu Yunfan's combat ability was astounding! If people were still wondering if Chu Yunfan was qualified to compete for the top 20, then this battle dispelled the doubts in their hearts, telling them that the rumors were indeed true. Although Chu Yunfan was only at the fourth level Qi Sea Stage, in terms of combat strength, he was not inferior to someone at the fifth level Qi Sea Stage.
The two combatants were also shocked in their hearts. To Tang Siyu, who normally did not worry about those who were at the same stage, had not expected to be pushed this far by Chu Yunfan, who was only at the fourth level of the Qi Sea Stage. He did not take heart when he heard Gao Hongzhi say that Chu Yunfan's strength was limitless. But now, he realized Chu Yunfan's true strength was in a real fight. If not for the special cultivation method he practiced, he might have even been defeated.
