C30 Shading Step

Mu Hai, never been looked down on before, stared intimidatingly at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen, on the other hand, wore a lazy expression on his face as he looked at Mu Hai indifferently.

"Actually... Fighting me head-on will make it look like I'm bullying you. Then, how about this? As long as you lay a single hit on me, I'll consider it your victory, " Ye Chen thought about taking this opportunity to test the capabilities of his new skill, Shadow Step.

What!

Under the Fighting Platform, everyone was shocked beyond belief upon hearing those unexpected words.

Was he speaking another language?

Wu Tie's head, as if struck upon by lightning, exploded in absolute rage as he shouted furiously at Ye Chen:

"How dare you you look down on me! You're courting death!"

The next instance, Mu Hai bolted towards Ye Chen.

Since Reserve Martial Cultivators could not cultivate skills, they had to rely on their physical strength, which was still nevertheless extremely powerful by itself. Thus, ordinary civilians had no chance of winning against a Reserve Martial Cultivator at all.

The students under the Fighting Platform originally thought that Senior Ye Chen would just play it off as a joke. They, however, did not expect Senior Ye Chen to follow through with his words by not put up any form of defense.

Of course, they knew about the terrifying strength Ye Chen possessed. However, the handicap presented by Ye Chen himself will greatly decrease the chance of him winning. Rather, would it even be possible for Ye Chen to dodge every single hit from Mu Hai, whose cultivation was technically almost equal to that of Ye Chen's?

Though everyone had the same thoughts, they, unfortunately, missed out on the fact that Ye Chen now possessed the Inferior Speed of a Dusk-dwelling Cat's and his newly-obtained skill, Shadow Step.

Despite their speculations, they could only see what was present to them at the moment. After arriving in front of Ye Chen, Mu Hai threw a series of assaults towards Ye Chen's face. An Intermediate Reserve Martial Cultivator could exert a force of up to one thousand kilograms. If a normal person were to receive such strikes, the result would be glaringly obvious.

Just when Mu Hai thought that his fist was about to hit Ye Chen's face, Ye Chen would vanish from his sight, dodging his attacks effortlessly.

Every single punch Mu Hai threw, he missed!

Mu Hai, shocked by his ability to dodge, hurriedly looked for Ye Chen's figure. By the time he figured out where Ye Chen was, he had already moved a few meters away from him.

"How is this possible?"

Mu Hai clenched his teeth and continued to rush recklessly towards Ye Chen.

No matter how many time Mu Hai tried to strike down Ye Chen, he simply was unable to do so. Ye Chen's movements were so swift that it even left an afterimage of himself in his previous position.

The students on the Fighting Platform gawked as if they had just witnessed a scene from an action film that should never be possible in real life.

"This... Is this the Advanced Yellow Rank Technique: Shadow Step?!"

Lin Gen gulped down his saliva and said in disbelief.

"Exactly, it really is the skill, Shadow Step," Principal Zhang Fenghe said slowly.

Zhang Fenghe recalled back to the time when Ye Chen had mentioned that his background was not simple. When he had previously fought Bai Jun on the Fighting Platform, the wind roared in the direction where his strikes went while his strength soared greatly beyond the limitless sky. This could only be possible if he had used some sort of skill.

Reserve Martial Cultivator couldn't cultivate skills, but Zhang Fenghe knew of certain heirs of some of the biggest powers in the world who were able to cultivate such skills.

Mu Hai had already let out at least thirty different punches. Not only did he manage to miss every single hit, but his attacks also did not even come close to scratching Ye Chen's uniform.

"There's no way I keep missing... There's simply no way I keep missing my strikes!" Mu Hai shouted in disbelief.

Liu Qianqian was also quite shocked by the scene that is happening in her eyes. The more Ye Chen displayed his skills, the more mysterious he's starting to become. Moreover, the speed he possesses at this moment is far too terrifying!

Ye Chen, beginning to feel somewhat fatigued, halted his steps. Since Shadow Step was an Advanced Yellow Rank Technique, his current amount of Qi did not allow him to use it limitlessly, reminding him of his current limitations.

He looked at the panting Mu Hai and said calmly:

"You couldn't even land a single hit on me, and you still want to fight me, Ye Chen? What a joke."

Mu Hai stared coldly at Ye Chen and shouted, "If you have the guts, don't dodge!"

In Mu Hai's mind, he determined that Ye Chen only possessed incredible speed and did not have much strength, which justified his reason for constantly dodging and not attacking.

"You want to fight me in a battle of strength?" Ye Chen confidently looked at Mu Hai. "I must say that my strength is quite terrifying though."

For the students of the Sky Blue Academy and Gale Academy, they were beyond furious when they heard of his words. Similarly, their leading teachers felt the same way, for it had to be known that Mu Hai had already cultivated the Advanced Body Forging Technique to its limits.

In terms of pure strength, the Sky Blue Academy and Gale Academy were known as powerhouses in that aspect. Thus, they did not understand how Ye Chen dared to say that his strength was even more terrifying than Mu Hai's.
