Chapter 38
The spectators outside the court looked at each other in silence and only comprehended what had happened after a while—when Bai Chen was testing Chu Liuyue, he had actually used skills above the standards of a stage-three warrior.
This also meant that he did not even lower his abilities to a stage-three warrior, just like what Chu Liuyue had said. Then… what exactly did this mean?
Bai Chen’s face flushed, and he felt embarrassed. He initially thought that this move could destroy Chu Liuyue, but he didn’t expect that he was unable to control it properly and had spoiled the assessment.
It was humiliating to commit such a low-level mistake in front of so many people.
However… What exactly happened just now? Bai Chen’s eyebrows knitted tightly as he stared straight at Chu Liuyue. He was a stage-five warrior and was considered strong in Country Yao Chen. He had assessed a few students in the past, but he had never made such a mistake.
He clearly remembered that he felt a scary murderous intent from Chu Liuyue earlier, so he subconsciously used his real abilities. However, how could an invalid like Chu Liuyue make him feel such intense suppression and oppression?
Bai Chen did not understand it, no matter how much he thought about it. He looked at Chu Liuyue with suspicious eyes as if he wanted to burn a hole in her.
“Senior Bai Chen, you previously said that I’d pass if I can last three moves from you. However, you exceeded a stage-three warrior’s ability in the first move… What should we do about this?” asked Chu Liuyue calmly as if the incident that just happened had no impact on her.
This question made Bai Chen’s face contort even more. Even though he was upset, he had to admit that the exchange just now could prove Chu Liuyue’s abilities to some extent since she could force him to use his true strength.
Some people could not help but hold their breaths as they thought, The bones in Chu Liuyue’s hand will probably shatter.
As expected, they saw Chu Liuyue’s body shiver in the next moment as blood started trickling out of her mouth.
Just when they thought everything was over, they saw that Bai Chen’s face did not have any signs of happiness. Instead, there was shock.
He widened his eyes and looked at Chu Liuyue as if he were looking at a weirdo. “You! You…” He opened his mouth, but he did not know what to say. However, his mind was thoroughly flipped around.
Chu Liuyue’s capabilities had exceeded his imagination.
Logically speaking, Chu Liuyue should definitely not have been able to endure that punch. However, she was still standing in her original spot, without having even moved back an inch.
Besides, he could clearly feel that Chu Liuyue’s punch was much stronger than what he had expected.
He silently clenched his teeth even harder.
Kacha!
The ground below Chu Liuyue started to crack, and the crack lines rapidly spread. However, Chu Liuyue did not move at all.
In actual fact, her entire body was enduring an immense pressure. The strength within Bai Chen’s punch was definitely not what an average stage-three warrior could exhibit. Even though she had already fixed her Yuan meridian and trained diligently these days, the difference between them was very large, and it was hard to overcome it.
Her internal organs were squeezed into a ball by an invisible force as if they would explode in the next second. However, she had still met with this attack head-on.
She looked at Bai Chen, and her clear, bright eyes sparkled. She enunciated every word clearly as she asked, “Senior Bai Chen, do I pass this round?”
Bai Chen clenched his teeth but did not retract his fist. His voice boomed as he said, “Pass!”
