Chapter 45: Fist Overwhelming the World!

"Your opponent will be me," Zhao Wuji announced, pausing for a moment before continuing with a smile, "The test is for you all to withstand my attacks for the time it takes an incense stick to burn. As long as one of you can hold out until the end, you'll pass."

Li Yusong immediately frowned, hesitating as he said, "Wuji, isn't this a bit much? With your power, even two or three Soul Emperors might not hold up against you for that long."

Zhao Wuji shot him a glare, "With the headmaster absent, I'm in charge of the academy. Besides, that kid Zhou Chen nearly bested you earlier. If I don't regain some face, how can we teachers maintain authority over students?"

"Alright then," Li Yusong sighed, then turned to Zhou Chen and the others, "Vice Principal Zhao is a level 76 Soul Saint, known in the past as the Immovable King. His martial soul, the Vigorous Vajra Bear, is exceptionally strong in both defense and attack. Be careful."

Upon hearing this, Tang San and the others, except for Zhou Chen, felt their pupils contract slightly. A level 76 Soul Saint? Such a formidable figure could dominate a battlefield!

"Wait, the Immovable King?"

Just then, Ning Rongrong exclaimed, "I remember now, he's the Immovable King Zhao Wuji. Ten years ago, the Spirit Hall sent sixteen Soul Emperor-level red-clothed bishops to besiege him, yet he broke through. He was only a Soul Emperor then, so now he must be even stronger!"

Tang San and the others were stunned by Ning Rongrong's words, and they all turned their gaze to Zhou Chen, who was quietly resting his eyes.

"You don't need to fight; just cheer me on from the side," Zhou Chen said, opening his star-like eyes and giving Zhu Zhuqing a gentle look, then addressing Tang San and the others calmly.

Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and the others nodded and retreated to the edge of the field. Tang San and Xiao Wu quickly moved to the perimeter.

They knew well how powerful Zhou Chen was, and how large the area of effect of his attacks could be. Standing too close might result in accidental injury.

Zhou Chen then turned his gaze to Zhao Wuji and said calmly, "Vice Principal Zhao, please proceed."

"Haha, I want to see just how strong the genius from a hidden family really is!" Zhao Wuji laughed heartily before turning to Tang San and the others, "Don't think you'll escape testing. Once I'm done with this kid, I'll deal with you."

With that, Zhao Wuji pulled out an incense stick, lit it with a snap of his fingers, and then flicked it into the hard ground, where it stuck firmly.

"Martial Soul, Possession!"

With a low roar, an intensely fierce aura erupted from Zhao Wuji. His body swelled, muscles expanding rapidly, and he grew taller by a meter. A golden bear phantom appeared behind him!

Simultaneously, two yellow, two purple, and three black soul rings rose from his feet in a dazzling display!

Evidently, Zhao Wuji was quite wary of Zhou Chen's strength.

Zhou Chen, too, transformed into a humanoid figure of golden light, with three brilliant golden soul rings rising around him.

"What kind of soul rings are those?"

Seeing the three golden rings, Zhao Wuji, Li Yusong, and the others immediately sensed something was off, though their knowledge wasn't sufficient to recognize divine-level soul rings.

"Kid, I'm making my move!"

Zhao Wuji leapt suddenly, crossing the distance to Zhou Chen in a single bound. He raised his massive bear paw, and his second soul ring lit up as his palm turned golden, striking fiercely at Zhou Chen!

This was his second soul skill—Vigorous Vajra Palm!

Feeling the intense wind from the strike, Zhou Chen naturally didn't take it head-on. His third soul ring glowed slightly, and he transformed into a streak of golden light, instantly dodging the attack and circling to Zhao Wuji's back for a straightforward punch!

"Imperial Overwhelming Fist!"

"Nice move!!"

Reacting swiftly to the surprise attack from behind, Zhao Wuji roared, unleashing his soul power. His first yellow soul ring lit up!

First soul skill—Immovable King Body!

"Boom!!"

Zhou Chen's golden fist collided with Zhao Wuji's golden protective barrier, creating a terrifying metallic clash. A shockwave blasted outwards, forcing the onlookers to retreat.

Yet, Zhou Chen's punch, powerful enough to heavily injure a Soul Emperor, merely made Zhao Wuji step back slightly, leaving no mark.

This was why Zhao Wuji was called the Immovable King! His defenses as a Soul Saint surpassed most Soul Douluos, nearing that of a Title Douluo!

Missing his punch, Zhou Chen immediately used his Golden Light Step to dart away. Just as he moved, Zhao Wuji's massive bear paw swiped through where he had stood moments before!

"What kind of soul skill is that? Such speed?"

Startled, Zhao Wuji activated a purple thousand-year soul ring on him!

Instantly, the purple ring flew out, catching up to Zhou Chen's incredible speed and ensnaring him!

Seeing this, Li Yusong, watching from afar, sighed, "It's over. That's Zhao Wuji's fourth soul skill—Position Tracking. Within a hundred meters, he can use jumping power to close in instantly on whoever's locked in, no matter how fast!"

Indeed, as soon as Li Yusong finished speaking, Zhao Wuji leapt from the ground, shadowing Zhou Chen closely and catching up instantly!

"What the hell, did he just teleport to me?"

Zhou Chen was bewildered. This was unavoidable; he'd have to face it head-on!

However, before Zhou Chen could stop, Zhao Wuji's shout came again:

"Fifth soul skill—Gravity Crush!"

Suddenly, Zhou Chen felt immense pressure from all directions, slowing him down immediately.

Seeing this, Zhou Chen stopped running and turned to confront Zhao Wuji directly!

"Vigorous Vajra Palm!"

"Imperial Overwhelming Fist!"

When fist met palm, Zhou Chen, undefeated until now, was forced back dozens of steps, his hand's tiger mouth cracked and bleeding!

"Brother Chen!"

"Zhou Chen!"

"Concede, be careful!"

Cries of concern came from Zhu Zhuqing and the others, filled with worry.

"How about it, kid? Still not enough, huh," Zhao Wuji laughed heartily.

Zhou Chen raised an eyebrow, a slight smirk on his lips, "You can't say that. We both still have the strength to fight. How about we call it a draw to avoid straining relations?"

"Hmph, with one hand out of action, you still talk of a draw?"

Zhao Wuji snorted, pointing to the half-burned incense stick, "Endure until it burns out, then talk about a draw!"

With that, Zhao Wuji leapt like a hefty meteor towards Zhou Chen!

Seeing Zhao Wuji in mid-air, Zhou Chen chuckled coldly, and suddenly a colossal golden figure appeared behind him!

This giant wore a twelve-draped jade crown and a golden robe adorned with patterns of mountains, rivers, plants, the sun, moon, and stars!

"In that case, taste my self-created soul skill, perfected over six years: Fist Overwhelming the World!"
