Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate

The match began, and representing Mingde University first was still Lu Fang.

Though Wang Sen's combat strength had increased, Yu Feicui and Fei Yunlai were willing to let him gain experience. Since the university martial arts league had started, Wang Sen had already fought twice.

However, in this match against the top-ranked team from the Second City University, Fei Yunlai and the rest of the coaching staff still trusted Lu Fang more.

The vanguard from the Second City University was a freshman named Li Tao.

After nearly 20 minutes of fierce combat on the platform, Li Tao was struck in the shoulder by Lu Fang's spear and conceded defeat.

However, Lu Fang himself was also drained of energy, unable to continue fighting, and voluntarily stepped down from the platform.

This clearly showed that the incident a year ago had greatly affected the overall strength of the Second City University's martial arts club.

Last year, the only reason Second City University managed to secure the runner-up position in the ninth base city league was entirely due to Jin Tianchen, a figure of hall-of-fame level.

Mingde University's next fighter was Nolan Wei, and as he stepped onto the platform, he was filled with complex emotions.

If that incident hadn't occurred back then, Nolan Wei would now be the next fighter, or even the mainstay, of the opposing team.

His family lived near Second City University, and his family had always been fans of this university's martial arts team only to end up like this.

But Nolan Wei had no regrets; he only wanted to vent the anger he had harbored for a year with his sword in today's match, even though he knew well that it would not cause the slightest harm to Jin Tianchen himself.

His opponent was Baldwin Jones, who, although he did not participate in that day's betrayal, was one of the people who had beaten him up back then, a lackey of Jin Tianchen.

Yet this guy's future should be quite good; after graduation, he would likely take charge of a tactical team in the Jin Corporation's security department, not only having a certain online presence but also a substantial salary with immense prospects.

Upon arriving, Baldwin Jones did not utter a word. He just held a knight's sword, assumed a stance, and silently exchanged glances with Nolan Wei.

His gaze was as firm as steel, not yielding in the slightest even against Nolan Wei's wolf-like stare.

When Baldwin Jones came on stage, he had already received a critical order from Jin Tianchen—they had to fight until Lin Rui took the stage.

Jin Tianchen not only wanted to see the knife Lin Rui had but also wanted to see firsthand what Lin Rui's Yang Pulling Slash looked like.

However, Baldwin Jones knew of Nolan Wei's prowess. Having thoroughly researched Nolan before the fight, he immediately began retreating to the corners of the platform as soon as the battle started.

Baldwin Jones had devised a defensive strategy of attrition, fully committed to not giving Nolan Wei any space to employ his Instant Shadow Sword.

According to the rules of the tournament, he merely needed to hold out until the 30-minute mark for it to be declared a draw. If Nolan Wei, frustrated by the stalemate, tried to attack forcefully, it would give Baldwin a chance to win.

He retreated decisively, yet he almost got struck by Nolan Wei's swift flanking attack.

This sent chills down Baldwin Jones's spine. Nolan Wei had apparently been holding back in his previous fights, and his will to fight was also incredibly strong.

Nevertheless, he managed to hold his ground, Baldwin Jones gripping a sturdy turtle-back shield, protecting his entire body hermetically.

Meanwhile, at Mingde University's players' bench, Fang Ranran had noticed a disturbance online.

Fang Ranran was astounded, wondering who was targeting Jin Tianchen?

She also sensed an invisible, manipulative hand stirring up trouble online.

The question was, where did this hand come from?

From the information she had, it seemed to be on the scale of a political party's mobilization capabilities.

This was not something any conglomerate or corporation could manage; only a political party with tens of millions of members could stir up such a huge stir in such a short time.

The problem was that these parties all received political donations from the Jin Corporation and the Jin family; their senior leaders would not allow such actions.

Fang Ranran then opened Jin Tianchen's live stream.

The room was still bustling with popularity, hosting over 50 million viewers with an extremely heated atmosphere.

The storm of public opinion that originated from an internal forum of the Second City University had not yet spread here, only occasionally visible were some sarcastic and malicious comments and barrages.

"Demons among us."

"Look*at*the*murderer——"

"Complete Story of Yue, Chapter 74: Men and women, thousands upon thousands, every single one declares it justice manifest, retribution infallible."

The smart AI and moderators in Jin Tianchen's streaming room were very efficient, quickly deleting posts and kicking out commenters, no matter how subtly the words were phrased.

Still, some of Jin Tianchen's fans noticed and began asking in the comment section what was going on.

A faint smile appeared in Fang Ranran's eyes.

Although she did not know who had orchestrated this plot against Jin Tianchen, she found it pleasing.

This Mr. Jin actually had this day coming?

Fang Ranran sensed that today's wave of public opinion was not going to end well and Jin Tianchen might very well end up discredited.

She also mockingly commented a few times in Jin Tianchen's live stream until she was kicked out. Then, she looked up at the platform and saw that Nolan Wei was standing in the center of the platform, not only causing his clothes to flutter without wind but also surrounded by fine black lines.

— Those black lines were clearly forces from the void, cracking open!

At the same time, even the lights above the gym were affected, flickering on and off.

Simultaneously, bursts of blood mist exploded from Nolan Wei's body from time to time.

Fang Ranran faltered slightly, "Is Nolan Wei planning to use that move? That's far too reckless, far too forced, Sister Feicui!"

That was clearly the secret sword 'Void Furious Snake' rated 5SS+, obtained through her channels by Nolan Wei!

The problem was that Nolan Wei had only just begun mastering this move, and he had only stepped into the Golden Core less than three months ago. This placed an excessive burden on his body.

She wanted Yu Feicui to send a signal to stop it, but Zhao Yan shook his head slightly, "Let him be, President. I understand Nolan. For this past year, Nolan and I have both been holding back our frustration. No matter what, we want that guy to pay the price, and at this moment, Nolan will not listen to anyone. No one can stop him."

Fang Ranran furrowed her brows, then fell silent.

Just as Nolan Wei charged his sword with power for two breaths, more and more black lines formed, gradually coalescing into three snakes as thick as fingers, Baldwin Jones finally couldn't sit still any longer.

Seeing the fourth black snake about to form, he couldn't help turning pale and stepped forward with his large shield.

It was this step that triggered Nolan Wei's ferocious sword light.

Nolan Wei's long sword merged with the giant snakes, stabbing through Baldwin's turtle-shell shield and even piercing his body; blood and flesh splattered violently around the area in an instant.

Beneath the platform, a group of people in white lab coats hurried up, rushing to administer emergency aid to both Baldwin Jones and Nolan Wei.

This was the emergency medical team called over by the referee, and these experienced individuals immediately realized how brutal the outcome of this battle would be.

Yu Feicui rushed onto the ring the moment the winner and loser were decided to check on Nolan Wei's condition.

Nolan Wei's injuries were also very severe, all caused by the forces of void that eroded him while executing his sword moves.

Yu Feicui glared fiercely at Fei Yunlai down below.

Nolan Wei's injuries today were all ones Fei Yunlai, the head coach, had brought upon him.

Seeing this, Fei Yunlai blinked, looking innocent, and thought, 'How is this related to me?'

He had advised Nolan Wei that his Instant Shadow Sword would perform effortlessly against ordinary opponents, but those defensive-style fighters would pose a challenge and make it difficult to secure a victory.

At that time, Nolan Wei needed a mighty martial secret technique as a 'siege hammer', thus he decided to master this 5SS+ rated 'Void Furious Snake' and even specially integrated an SS+ grade implant for it.

The issue was, he hadn't expected Nolan Wei to use this immature technique to defeat his opponent.

Nolan Wei himself was quite pleased, especially when he heard about Baldwin Jones's implant being damaged, resulting in him being out for the season, and he laughed heartily.

He lifted his gaze, staring coldly at Jin Tianchen across from him, thinking that if the Second City University still dreams of making it into the top 32 post-season like last season, that's quite a fantasy!

Even if it meant mutual destruction, he was determined to drag Second City University down.

Though the damage to Jin Tianchen was minimal, very minimal—

Fang Ranran, sitting in the contestant's seat, rubbed her temples in headache.

She somewhat regretted not informing her teammates that Lin Rui's transformation had already broken through the fifth realm.

This was Lin Rui's personal secret, and Fang Ranran felt it inappropriate to propagate it, yet she hadn't expected Nolan Wei to pull such a foolish stunt again.

However, even if she had informed them earlier, Nolan Wei probably wouldn't have held back; rather, he might have fought even more resolutely.

She sighed and also picked up her sword to walk towards the ring.

Fang Ranran had no grievance with Second City University, and her implant was of the highest quality, reaching the upper limit of what her spiritual power could harness. Her martial arts skill also reached 4S+.

Her opponent was a senior student, a genius among the top ten, with a very powerful implant and abundant experience.

Their battle was much more peaceful than the previous fight, with Fang Ranran circling the edges of the platform, deftly engaging with her opponent.

She couldn't secure a victory, only able to drag out the time, until after half an hour, the referee raised his hand, signaling that the match ended in a draw.

At that moment, the entire arena of tens of thousands of people erupted into thunderous applause.

Although Fang Ranran was at a disadvantage throughout the match, her tactics were spot-on. Both competitors' martial arts were masterful, making the fight intensely thrilling and captivating, leaving no moment for the audience to look away.

Fang Ranran bowed in all directions as a gesture of thanks and then stepped down from the ring.

When she returned to the ring, she saw Zhao Yan silently preparing.

Seeing Zhao Yan's expression cold as a rock, Fang Ranran felt an even greater headache.

She massaged her temples and said, "Zhao Yan, do you remember what you promised me when we first enrolled?"

Zhao Yan was startled and looked at Fang Ranran, "President?"

He certainly remembered his promises to Fang Ranran, but he didn't quite understand what she meant.

"Lin Rui's transformation has already broken through the fifth realm. My teacher watched Lin Rui's training videos, as well as the latest battle footage of Jin Tianchen, and said Lin Rui is sure to win,"

Fang Ranran dared to open such a large betting pool in the underground world because she was confident, having consulted with professionals.

"My teacher said, barring accidents, Lin Rui will win within 5000 to 10000 moves, so take it easy! Conserve your strength for the championship finals,"

Fei Yunlai heard this, his lips slightly raised, thinking that great minds think alike.

At this moment, everyone nearby who heard Fang Ranran's words was completely astonished, their eyes all turning towards Lin Rui.

Zhao Yan's body trembled slightly, staring at Lin Rui in disbelief.
