Chapter 154: An Earth-Shattering Battle and a Secret!

Chapter 154: An Earth-Shattering Battle and a Secret!

The transformed Martial God no longer retained his former refined appearance. His entire body now emanated an aura of uncontrollable fury, like a ferocious beast descending from the mountain.

Chen Ye's expression finally grew serious. He suddenly asked, "Mr. Martial God, I noticed earlier that you were holding back. Will you do the same when you fight me?"

Hearing this, a sinister smile spread across the muscular face of the Martial God. "What? Are you scared?"

Chen Ye shook his head and replied earnestly, "It's just that I have trouble controlling my strength. Against someone like you, I'll have to use my full power. If you hold back, it wouldn't be fair to you."

The Martial God was taken aback for a moment, then continued to grin viciously. "I held back against those others because they weren't worthy of dying by my hand. Besides, if I killed them, no one would be around to entertain me at the yearly National Secret Realm."

"Not having any opponents is actually quite boring..."

"But you, young man, your strength excites me. I'll fight you with everything I've got! Don't disappoint me!!"

Chen Ye nodded immediately, "Alright!"

The Martial God suddenly added, "By the way, here's a little secret: after passing through the 30th Secret Realm, everyone gets an extra reward—a new ability."

"Next, I'll attack using my new ability, so be careful, young man!"

As his words fell, the Martial God bent his legs slightly, his feet gripping the ground like he was assuming a martial stance.

At the same time, he shouted the first word of his technique:

"Kame!"

Then, he clasped his hands together, forming a cup shape at his waist, his muscles tensed as he called out the second word.

"Hame!"

A massive surge of energy began gathering wildly between the Martial God's cupped palms, eventually condensing into a white energy ball.

"Ha!"

Chen Ye was utterly stunned. It wasn't the power of the move that shocked him, but rather its familiarity.

Kamehameha!

It was the iconic move of Son Goku from Dragon Ball!

Chen Ye never expected that this Martial God would even know this technique.

What had this guy just said? After passing through the 30th Secret Realm, you gain a new ability? Could that really be possible?

"Ha!"

With a loud shout, the Martial God thrust his palms forward. Instantly, the white energy ball in his hands erupted into a massive wave of power, soaring across the arena and hurtling towards Chen Ye.

A piercing sound tore through the air as the white energy wave ripped through space with a terrifying screech.

Witnessing this scene, every spectator's face was filled with shock!

...

Chen Ye did not dodge!

He could tell that although the Martial God's move looked incredibly powerful, it was far weaker than Son Goku's version.

It didn't give him much pressure either.

So, this move was just a test.

Having prepared in advance, Chen Ye immediately shifted his right leg, clenched his fist, and assumed his stance.

At the same time, fierce flames erupted from his fist.

Then, with a single punch, he released his full strength!

"Boom!!!"

A deafening explosion echoed throughout the arena, as Chen Ye's punch tore through the air, stripping away a thick layer of the arena's surface.

The Martial God's Kamehameha was instantly obliterated, disappearing without a trace.

But Chen Ye's punch wasn't finished—it condensed into a massive flaming fist and surged back towards the Martial God.

The Martial God didn't move, standing his ground to receive Chen Ye's fire punch head-on.

"Boom!"

The flaming fist collided with the Martial God, creating a thunderous explosion.

A small mushroom cloud even appeared above the arena...

However, once the fire dissipated, the Martial God stood unharmed.

The fire punch, powerful enough to meet the standards of a Tier 6 attack, had failed to injure him!

This was a testament to how incredibly tough the Martial God's physique was!

The man still wore an excited grin on his face.

"Good, the power of that punch was truly frightening!" The Martial God laughed heartily as he walked toward Chen Ye, shouting, "Young man, no need to hold back any longer. Show me your true power!"

Chen Ye remained calm and began walking toward the Martial God as well.

...

The spectators had long been dumbfounded!

Even their initial probing attacks were powerful enough to shock the audience.

What was even more concerning was... what on earth was that energy wave the Martial God had just unleashed?

Which hero's ability was that?

It was well-known that the Martial God's heroic talent was also S3, and he was the global number one among S3 ranks.

So, where had that energy wave come from?

Among S3 talents, that technique definitely wasn't listed.

At that moment, Chen Ye and the Martial God both arrived at the center of the arena, standing face to face.

Just like Hanma Baki before him.

However, the so-called "strongest creature on Earth," Hanma Baki, couldn't even come close to this Martial God in front of him.

Uncle Ba Liming was right; those who have reached the "God-Sighting" stage are indeed extraordinary.

There's only a single step between the "Perfection of Embracing the Dan" and "God-Sighting," but that step is as vast as the difference between heaven and earth!

After a moment of silence, both of them moved simultaneously.

"Flowing Water Rock Smashing Fist!"

"Consecutive Serious Punch!"

Both fighters unleashed their most powerful abilities, and the audience witnessed the most spectacular battle they had ever seen in their lives.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

It was as if tens of thousands of thunderclaps exploded, crisscrossing and colliding on the stage.

The deafening sounds of explosions echoed constantly throughout the arena! The fierce shockwaves generated by their clash instantly destroyed the arena, leaving it in ruins.

It was like the sky had collapsed and the earth had cracked!

As for the two fighters...

Their figures were nowhere to be seen! Completely invisible! Because they weren't just competing in strength; they were also competing in speed!

They were like two phantoms flashing around the stage, endlessly colliding and exchanging blows...

Words couldn't describe such a battle scene.

If it had to be compared, it was somewhat like the epic battle between Boros, the Dominator of the Universe, and Saitama during Boros's strongest form.

Of course, the Martial God couldn't match Boros, and Chen Ye was far from the full power of Saitama.

But precisely because of this, their fight seemed even more intense!

After all, only when two fighters are evenly matched can their true strength be fully unleashed.

...

In the spectator stands surrounding the arena, all eyes were wide and dazed!

Many powerful onlookers, who could barely catch glimpses of their movements, stood up in shock.

Even experts like Qin Muyin and Ba Liming couldn't help but rise to their feet, their eyes filled with astonishment as they gazed at the stage.

Everyone felt as though they weren't watching a battle between humans but witnessing two gods clashing in a grand spectacle.

An hour passed...

Two hours passed...

Five hours passed...

And as the sky gradually darkened, neither fighter showed any signs of stopping, nor did the intensity of their battle diminish in the slightest.

What kind of terrifying physical endurance could sustain such stamina?

After ten hours, the sky had completely darkened.

Just as the spectators wondered how long this battle would last, an unusual event finally occurred.

"Boom!"

The figures of both fighters appeared simultaneously.

By now, the stage was completely unrecognizable, reduced to rubble.

The two stood amidst the wreckage, motionless.

The surrounding spectators also held their breath, intently watching the two fighters.

From the looks of it, both of them were in a sorry state.

Chen Ye's clothes were completely torn, especially his upper body, where only the collar remained hanging on. His body was covered in wounds, blood dripping everywhere, making for a frightening sight.

Tang Zichen and President Chen immediately stood up, their faces filled with concern and worry.

As for the Martial God, he wasn't much better off.

His body was also riddled with wounds, and his injuries were even more severe than Chen Ye's. Even his gigantic frame had shrunk slightly.

After a long pause...

"Good!"

The Martial God suddenly shouted.

Then, the aura surrounding him rapidly diminished, and his body began to shrink quickly, like a deflating balloon. In just a few breaths, he returned to his normal size.

Judging by this, it seemed like he was done fighting.

"I'm done!"

The Martial God suddenly coughed up a mouthful of clotted blood but laughed heartily without the slightest embarrassment. "Your punches are too heavy! They really hurt!"

"Getting old does make you tire more easily... How are you, young man?"

Chen Ye responded, "I'm almost done too. The injuries are pretty serious."

Hearing this, the Martial God widened his eyes in anger. "Nonsense! Don't think I don't know—you've hardly used up any of your stamina!"

"You, with your incredible strength and speed, not to mention your terrifying defense, are far stronger than a goose's thick neck... You're practically a monster!"

With that, the Martial God snorted coldly. "What? Afraid I'll lose and hold a grudge?"

Chen Ye remained speechless.

Seeing that Chen Ye didn't respond, the Martial God suddenly burst out laughing again. "Alright! With someone like you around, I won't be so bored anymore!"

"This year, let's leave it at that! Next year, we'll fight again!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Martial God coughed up another large mouthful of blood, stumbled slightly, and almost fell. Frightened, he quickly admitted defeat.

A portal appeared, and the Martial God hurriedly walked through it.

Watching the Martial God's departing figure, Chen Ye let out a small sigh of relief, then smiled.

To be honest, this Martial God was truly powerful—whether it was his speed or destructive power, he was even slightly stronger than Chen Ye at present.

One had to understand that Chen Ye's current physique, strength, and agility attributes, including temporary boosts, had surpassed five thousand in total.

Chen Ye had the physique of Saitama, and increasing his attributes was as easy as eating and drinking.

But what did the Martial God have?

He had achieved everything through sheer hard work.

This clearly demonstrated how terrifying this man was.

If it weren't for Chen Ye's superior defense and significantly greater stamina, the outcome of this battle would have been hard to predict.
