Chapter 150: Who is the Strongest Creature on Earth?

Chapter 150: Who is the Strongest Creature on Earth?

"Damn! Who is this bald guy?"

"Where did this monster come from? His strength is terrifying!"

"Is he even human? It's simply unbelievable!"

"F**K! Isn't he a fire ability user? Why is his physical strength just as terrifying?"

"With that kind of power... he's definitely a contender for the championship!"

"When did Xia Country produce such a strong fighter? Why was there no news about him before?"

"What's even scarier is that he's so young, with limitless potential in the future!"

"Miss Diana was our last hope, and now this damned bald guy!"

"You should probably start praying that Miss Diana can make it back alive…"

...

The crowd of foreigners was in an uproar.

Chen Ye's performance just now had shocked them to their core. The star-level top fighter, Diana, was nothing more than a toy in his hands, effortlessly defeated, her life and death uncertain.

Even the people from Chen Ye's own country were stunned by the strength he had shown. After all, during the national elimination rounds, Chen Ye's performance wasn't nearly as terrifying as this. Many people unanimously believed that Chen Ye had gone easy on his fellow countrymen during those rounds.

When Chen Ye returned to the rooftop, he was greeted once again by his shocked companions!

He smiled and joked, "Oops! I accidentally won again."

Everyone snapped out of their daze.

Cao Yu immediately got up and started pinching Chen Ye all over.

"Old Cao, what are you doing? Giving me a massage?" Chen Ye asked, confused.

Cao Yu exclaimed, "I'm just checking if you're still human! That arena was so hard, yet you lifted it bare-handed? I wouldn't even dare dream of something that outrageous!"

Chen Ye rolled his eyes and scolded with a laugh, "Get lost!"

"Brother Chen, I agree with Cao Yu!" Ren Qianqian swallowed nervously. "Your strength is truly unbelievable!"

"It's just my talent," Chen Ye replied with a smile. "I've only become a little bit stronger, no need to be so shocked."

Cao Yu raised an eyebrow, "You call that 'a little bit'?"

"It's just a little bit—like a billionaire's 'little bit.'"

Cao Yu: "..."

Even Principal Lu, who was usually calm, was shocked and couldn't help but ask, "Chen Ye, is the S1 talent really this terrifying? In just half a month, your strength has increased so much?"

"Oh, it's like this..."

Chen Ye didn't hide anything, and with a smile, he explained, "Remember when I told you guys about being trapped in that mysterious place for 24 hours? Well, the flow of time in that place was strange. While only 24 hours passed outside, I spent an entire year in there."

"During that year, my strength increased every day, and that's how I got here."

Since people would forget once they left, there was no need to hide it.

Everyone was stunned by his words.

"There's a place like that in the palace?" Zhao Zheng asked in surprise.

"Yes, it's called the Spirit Time Room," Chen Ye said with a smile. "It's on the third floor of the palace."

"The Spirit Time Room?"

Old Liu thought for a moment, then said, "I think I saw it too, but when I tried to enter, the door wouldn't open."

"It was probably because I was inside at the time!" Chen Ye explained. "Once you enter the Spirit Time Room, the door won't open until a full year has passed."

"I see..."

"So, that's why you've become so much stronger?" Cao Yu was still astonished, then he looked regretful. "Just one year to become this powerful, it's unbelievable... If I had known, I should have taken a chance and chosen the S1 talent too."

"And now you'd just be an ordinary person!" Ren Qianqian said mercilessly. "Every year, countless people try to choose the S1 talent, but after decades, Chen Ge is the only one who's succeeded. What are the odds? Do you think you could've done it?"

Cao Yu was left speechless.

At that moment, Shao Wenhui suddenly said, "With Brother Chen's strength, does this mean he could win the championship?"

Everyone's eyes lit up.

"That's right!"

Since Chen Ye was so strong, he might have a real shot at the championship.

"He definitely has a chance at the championship."

"The only question is, how strong is the God of Martial Arts?"

"From what I've seen, the God of Martial Arts can easily take down Tier 6 experts in an instant... He's held the championship for years, so he must be incredibly powerful."

"I believe Brother Chen can defeat him!"

Everyone excitedly discussed it.

Only Principal Lu remained calm and said, "Chen Ye, even if you can win the championship, it might be best to give it up."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at him in surprise and confusion.

Chen Ye quickly understood what Principal Lu meant. "Principal, are you saying that the championship title draws too much attention?"

Principal Lu smiled and nodded. "Every year, the top three teams in the Secret Realm Tournament are always composed of elite experts. If this year's champion ends up being us, it will attract the attention of numerous factions. I can guarantee that every member of our team will be thoroughly investigated."

"Chen Ye, since you want to keep your S1 talent a secret, you probably wouldn't want to live under constant surveillance."

"All it would take is one slip-up, and your secret could be exposed."

Everyone suddenly realized Principal Lu's reasoning.

As expected of someone capable of becoming the principal, he had considered the issue in an instant.

Old Liu quickly added seriously, "Principal is right, Chen Ye. It's better if you don't go for the championship."

Chen Ye nodded in agreement, "The championship would indeed draw too much attention."

He knew that if they did win the championship, the scenario Principal Lu described was very likely to happen...

Cao Yu and the others felt a bit disappointed when they heard this. But they understood that compared to Chen Ye's secret, the championship wasn't as important.

...

Later that night, Ba Limin unexpectedly came by with President Chen for a visit.

It was mainly because they were both shocked by Chen Ye's performance during the day.

Before leaving, Ba Limin even specifically reminded Chen Ye that if they faced off in the next match, Chen Ye didn't need to hold back.

As long as Ba Limin felt he couldn't win, he would surrender.

...

The next morning.

The tenth round of matches began.

After yesterday's elimination, only 48 people remained for the tenth round.

These 48 were all top-tier fighters, with the weakest being Tier 6!

[This is your randomly assigned opponent for the tenth round. Will you accept the match?]

[Please make your decision within 30 seconds. Failure to do so will result in forfeiting the match.]

[Warning: Choosing to forfeit will be considered as a withdrawal and result in direct elimination.]

Seeing his opponent for this round, Chen Ye was a bit surprised...

Then, a sinister smile appeared on his face as he chose to accept the match.

Tang Zichen, who was standing next to Chen Ye, immediately noticed his expression and asked, "Chen Ye, who is your opponent this time?"

"It's the 'Strongest Creature on Earth,' Baki Hanma!"

As soon as the name "Baki Hanma" was mentioned, everyone was a bit taken aback.

Not only was this man exceptionally powerful, but his methods were also extremely ruthless.

In previous matches, Baki Hanma was by far the most brutal. Every opponent who dared step into the ring with him was killed in a single blow, with every strike aimed at their vital points, showing no mercy whatsoever!

To the point that, in the later rounds, he didn't even need to enter the ring—his opponents forfeited as soon as they saw him.

Zhao Zheng hurriedly reminded, "Senior brother, this Baki Hanma is truly formidable. Not only is he immensely strong, but his martial arts prowess is also incredibly advanced. You must be cautious."

Old Liu added, "He's considered the greatest hope of Wa Country. Don't underestimate him!"

"Perfect!" Chen Ye cracked his knuckles and snorted coldly, "This time, I'm going to crush Wa Country's hope!"

"They've targeted our squad leader several times in the secret realm, always led by Wa Country. It's time to collect some interest!"

Hearing this, Tang Zichen's eyes flashed slightly, but she remained silent.

The first match was between the God of Martial Arts and a Tier 6 expert. Once again, the Tier 6 expert was defeated in one move...

The battle ended quickly.

However, the Tier 6 expert wasn't killed—he was simply knocked out of the ring by the God of Martial Arts with minor injuries.

This was not the first time such a scenario occurred. It could be said that the God of Martial Arts not only had a graceful demeanor but also displayed great sportsmanship, sparing every opponent, regardless of their nationality.

He was the complete opposite of Baki Hanma.

The second match featured Qin Muyin. She also won in one move!

She effortlessly used her telekinesis to control the Tier 6 expert and then casually threw him out of the ring...

It's fair to say, as long as the biofield couldn't resist this girl's telekinesis, Tier 5 or Tier 6 fighters were all the same before her!

Chen Ye was up third.

A portal appeared, and Chen Ye stepped through it.

Then, on the platform, he saw

 Baki Hanma emerging from the other portal as well.

This so-called "Strongest Creature on Earth" was truly extraordinary. His height alone was close to two meters, and with his well-developed muscles and terrifying face, just standing there without moving gave off an oppressive feeling.

It was as if a bloodthirsty beast, rather than a human, was standing in front of him.

In the surrounding audience stands, seeing these two stepping into the ring, the entire crowd was energized!

Two monstrous fighters were about to clash!

...

On the rooftop of Building 19 in Xia Country's section, seeing that his son's opponent was Baki Hanma, President Chen immediately showed a look of concern.

"That brat actually ran into that savage from Wa Country!"

He hurriedly asked, "Senior brother, what do you think Chen Ye's chances are?"

Ba Limin thought for a moment and replied, "If Baki Hanma had been born ten years earlier, I might not have been able to dominate Wa Country's martial arts scene back in the day. I could have even died there!"

President Chen was taken aback. "Senior brother, is Baki Hanma really that strong? Even you aren't confident?"

Ba Limin nodded. "His current realm is almost on par with mine, but this guy has an extraordinary talent—his body structure is different from that of ordinary people. He's a born beast!"

"I'm a regular human, so of course, I can't compare to him."

President Chen became even more worried. "Then what about Chen Ye..."

"Don't worry!" Ba Limin reassured him. "Although Baki Hanma is powerful, it's not easy for him to beat me either."

"As for Chen Ye… to be honest, I can't even gauge his current strength."

President Chen was left speechless...

...

On the arena, both fighters moved at the same time.

They walked towards each other.

Chen Ye's expression remained calm.

Meanwhile, Baki Hanma had a bloodthirsty grin on his face, as if he had found the perfect prey.

Soon, they stood in the center of the platform, face to face, less than a meter apart.

If either of them made a move, they would easily be able to strike the other.

Chen Ye wasn't short, but standing in front of the nearly two-meter-tall Baki Hanma, he still appeared smaller. In terms of physique, Baki Hanma's muscular frame completely overshadowed Chen Ye's.

However, there was no trace of fear on Chen Ye's face.

Suddenly, he asked, "Hey, do you understand Chinese?"

Baki Hanma chuckled. "I owe my success to the martial arts classics from your country. Of course, I understand Chinese."

Not only did he speak in Chinese, but his pronunciation was quite accurate.

Chen Ye smiled. "I've heard that martial artists like you must cultivate an indomitable heart to reach the highest realm of martial arts, right?"

"That's true!"

Baki Hanma nodded, quickly understanding Chen Ye's intent. "Are you afraid I'll surrender? Hahaha, the words 'I surrender' don't exist in my vocabulary!"

As long as he didn't say the exact phrase "I surrender," there was no problem.

"Good!"

Chen Ye nodded in satisfaction. "I'll make sure you die a quick death!"

Of course, that was just talk. He had no such intention.
