"I admit defeat, but what martial art is that, Brother Mu?" Wang De asked as he conceded, bowing his hands in inquiry.
"Martial art? Sorry, I don't know any martial arts. This was just an ordinary fist," Mu Rufeng replied.
Upon hearing this, Wang De's face suddenly turned sour.
He felt that Mu Rufeng was mocking him. With a single punch, Mu Rufeng had shattered his strongest move and had still managed to send him flying without injuring him.
You tell him it's just an ordinary fist, how could he believe it?
Fortunately, at that moment, Han Zhen stepped in to smooth things over, "Mu Rufeng did not use any Martial Arts; it was indeed just an ordinary punch."
Seeing Han Zhen speak, Wang De quickly caught on and turned to look at Mu Rufeng with a shocked expression.
"I am inferior in skill, truly inferior," Wang De said as he bowed his hands again and silently retreated back into the ranks.
"Brother Mu is truly formidable. Do you mind if I challenge you to a fight?" At that moment, a burly man with a full beard stepped forward and spoke.
"No, your opponent is number six, Liu Xiaoqing," one of Han Zhen's trusted aides spoke up before Mu Rufeng could reply.
"I have no problem. You all come at once; that way, I can secure first place earlier," Mu Rufeng said.
His words immediately caused an uproar at the scene.
They had never expected Mu Rufeng to propose taking on five opponents at once.
These five were among the strongest of the ten thousand elite.
And these ten thousand were the elite drawn from all over the country.
Lv Sanshan's face darkened immediately.
Arrogant! Mu Rufeng was too arrogant, showing no respect for him or the others.
"Big words! I'll face you first to see if your strength matches your bold claims," Lv Sanshan said, his temper flaring up at Mu Rufeng's words, making it impossible for him to hold back. He was about to go up to him.
The others also looked displeased; had Lv Sanshan not spoken first, they too would definitely have wanted to teach Mu Rufeng a lesson.
Only Wang De, who had already been defeated, showed no expression, having been beaten by a plain punch without any use of Martial Arts.
Mu Rufeng's thoughts shifted, and he immediately activated Potential Burst.
[Constitution]: 2232.24
All Attributes directly increased by twenty percent.
His strength and constitution both broke a thousand, directly achieving the strength of Level 6 Heart Refining.
"I say, all of you come at once. Otherwise, it won't be enough for me to fight," Mu Rufeng said indifferently.
As his words fell, Mu Rufeng forcefully stomped his foot!
The ground shook, and the entire arena instantly cracked.
Such a terrifying strike left the expressions of several combatants unchanged.
The soldiers watching from behind were all abuzz.
Mu Rufeng's strength was indeed formidable.
Even Han Zhen raised his eyebrows; he hadn't expected Mu Rufeng to have been holding back.
"You all go together; his strength has already reached the level of Heart Refining," Han Zhen said.
"Heart Refining?" Their expressions changed again.
"Ha ha, Heart Refining? So what, I've slaughtered Heart Refiners before," Lv Sanshan laughed loudly and then stomped his foot fiercely, his formidable power blasting the ground apart.
Lv Sanshan continued charging towards Mu Rufeng while also swelling in mid-air.
His body was enveloped in a blood-red aura.
"Let's see if your fist is as strong as mine!"
Their fists collided, releasing a terrifying force that blasted in all directions.
The soldiers in the front row couldn't withstand the energy and involuntarily stepped back several paces.
Only Han Zhen and his trusted aides, along with the top thirteen, stood their ground, unflinching.
The sound of collisions continued.
A bloodstorm had started in the arena.
They could see Lv Sanshan relentlessly attacking Mu Rufeng, who effortlessly countered using only his left hand.
Everyone was secretly shocked by this sight.
Lv Sanshan was giving his all, even using Secret Techniques to boost his strength to the Level 6 Heart Refining level.
But he still couldn't break through Mu Rufeng's single-handed defense.
"You four, join in," Mu Rufeng stood firm, continuously parrying Lv Sanshan's attacks with his left hand.
"Impossible, how can this be possible?" Lv Sanshan couldn't believe that Mu Rufeng was so powerful.
With increasingly strong attacks, each employing Martial Arts, yet he still couldn't break through the one-handed defense.
The four exchanged glances, each drawing their weapons and then employing Secret Techniques to enhance their strength.
Together, they surged toward Mu Rufeng.
Seeing this, Mu Rufeng slightly smiled, raised his right hand, and snapped his fingers.
Suddenly, Mu Rufeng's figure disappeared.
Mu Rufeng vanished, but Lv Sanshan and the others had no clue.
The four's attack went directly toward Lv Sanshan, who fearlessly met them.
Initially, it was supposed to be Mu Rufeng against five; now, it shifted to Lv Sanshan against four.
"Great General, this martial tournament should be my victory," Mu Rufeng said as he appeared in front of Han Zhen at some point.
