"Refining Body Realm! How is that possible, he’s just a kid!"
Fourth Captain couldn’t believe what he said.
Third Captain then said, "How else would you explain that last hit!"
Fourth Captain fell silent, that’s right, he couldn’t explain it. He knew he couldn’t have delivered such a powerful blow, and the only ones who could were those in the Refining Body Realm.
Could it really be that he’s a Refining Body Realm expert?
But why had he never shown his capability before? Considering his strength and strategies, thinking about it made Fourth Captain break out in a cold sweat.
It was fortunate that he hadn’t tripped up Chen Jiusi in secret. If Chen Jiusi had found out about any sabotage, it would have been disastrous for him.
To be resented by such a young and ruthless powerhouse...
Fourth Captain exchanged a look with Third Captain and saw the terror in their eyes.
That was a close call. If they had made the wrong move and caused trouble for Chen Jiusi back then, they’d be riddled with regret by now. Even now, the thought gave him chills.
However, Yu Biao has been a formidable force in Xiantao Town for many years; could he be easily defeated by Chen Jiusi?
Wasn’t Second Ship Leader Li Sanding also from the Refining Body Realm?
Still, he was beaten by Yu Biao in just two moves, and Chen Jiusi’s ability to repel Yu Biao just now was entirely because Yu Biao had underestimated his opponent. Without underestimating, it would be difficult for Chen Jiusi to push back Yu Biao!
Thinking this, although they had the advantage of striking first, the rest didn’t believe that he had the power to defeat Yu Biao.
Most people thought it was merely because Chen Jie took advantage of Yu Biao’s underestimation.
"Xiao Hu, I, I didn’t see that wrong, did I?"
Zhou Chu rubbed his eyes vigorously.
"Just now, just now was Jiu Si who forced Yu Biao to retreat three steps, right?"
Chen Xiaohu nodded excitedly. That’s right, it’s his Jiu Si, his Jiu Si is truly the strongest. So what about Yu Biao? He always knew Jiu Si would win!
At that moment, Zhou Chu let go and said excitedly to Xiao Hu, "Xiao Hu, Jiu Si, Jiu Si is in the Refining Body Realm?"
Chen Xiaohu said proudly, "Of course, otherwise how could Jiu Si enter the contest stage?"
"Hahaha... Really, that’s awesome, Jiu Si is too awesome, hahaha..."
Zhou Chu exclaimed excitedly, unable to conceal his thrill. Great, his good buddy turned out to be from the Refining Body Realm. He had kept it a secret, causing him undue worry!
"Jiu Si sure knows how to keep a low profile, not even telling me. Alright, if he wins this time, I’m going to make him treat me to a good meal, I’ll eat him out of house and home!"
Zhou Chu vented happily.
Chen Xiaohu smiled upon hearing this.
After Zhou Chu finished, he still said, "But Jiu Si is still in some danger, Second Ship Leader had Refining Body Realm strength and only lasted for two rounds. And Jiu Si only gained the upper hand now because Yu Biao underestimated him, if he gets serious..."
Zhou Chu looked slightly distressed!
Jiu Si’s chances of winning were no more than thirty percent.
It really was because Yu Biao’s defeat of Second Ship Leader just now was too shocking.
Chen Xiaohu clenched his fist upon hearing this, a flicker of concern crossed his face, but he still said, "Jiu Si will definitely win!"
"Do you have that much faith in him?"
Zhou Chu looked at Chen Xiaohu, who said, "Everything Jiu Si told me, he’s delivered. He wouldn’t lie to me. If he says he’ll win, he’ll win for sure!"
Hearing Chen Xiaohu’s words, Zhou Chu fell silent.
Meanwhile, over at Guild Cao’s side, the underlings were all wide-eyed.
Their own Manager had been pushed back three steps; how could this be!
Was Chen Jiusi really that formidable?
They knew Chen Jiusi from past visits to the gambling den; everyone knew he was a terrible gambler, and some underlings had even dealt with him, even going to his home to collect debts.
Even though he’d beaten a few of Guild Cao’s house servants at Xiaoheyuan last time, what did that mean?
According to those servants, even then, he wasn’t at the Skin Buff Realm, because they felt if they hadn’t been taken by surprise, they might have had a chance to fight back.
But in just a few days, had Chen Jiusi grown to the level where he could compete against their own Manager,
To the point of contending with him?
Thinking of this, the Guild Cao disciples were all dumbstruck. Truly, a warrior should be regarded with a new respect after three days away!
Meanwhile, on the high stage, the three bosses each harbored their own thoughts.
Gu Qingfeng’s expression was no longer arrogant; his brows were deeply furrowed, his eyes sharp as he said, "Old Peng, not bad at all. Your Fishing Guild hides its talents well to have such a character!"
"Such a young age and already reached the Refining Body Realm, with substantial skill too, a promising talent indeed!"
Peng Shizhong was calmly sipping tea at this time, but his eyes were firmly fixed on Chen Jie.
Such a promising talent indeed!
Silent as he had been, once he made a move, it was astounding. This youngster is interesting.
At the same time, the tension in his brow eased, and he smiled, saying, "Haha, a surprise attack doesn’t make one a hero, but your Yu Biao is impressive. He managed to react in such a perilous moment and defend against that hit. That responsiveness is unmatched by ordinary Refining Body Realm fighters!"
Hearing this, Gu Qingfeng looked at Peng Shizhong and agreed, "Indeed!"
At this juncture, Zhang Liye, sitting in the chief seat, slightly furrowed his brow as well. That last move seemed familiar.
Could it be that martial arts technique?
"Water Manipulation Palm?"
Zhang Liye had interacted with Fan Jiangchun Ding Shun, who came from Huangzhou Prefecture, so he was also familiar with a few moves of Ding Shun’s family Hand Technique, the Water Manipulation Palm, such as the move just now, which he seemed to have seen Ding Shun use.
But he might have been mistaken.
