C192 Advancing again

When did Zhang Xiaofan become so strong? Ceng Shushu was barely able to receive it. He had sparred with Xiaofan before, so he was quite well aware of his own strength.

How did he become so powerful in just a few days?

Ceng Shushu didn't dare to be careless anymore. He had also heard that Li Jie had privately given Little Fan pointers, but such great progress was still too surprising.

No wonder they were so surprised by Xiaofan's reaction. The difference between the two was like heaven and earth.

Right now, he was the only person on the Great Bamboo Peak who had yet to be eliminated, so he must seize this opportunity. If he could go any further, he would slowly emerge from the top of the Great Bamboo Peak.

Ah!

Zhang Xiaofan snarled, as the words on his head made him look like he was under a lot of pressure.

Right now, he only felt like he was a ball of burning flames that wanted to swallow up all the obstacles in front of him.

Ceng Shushu was once again knocked back several steps by Zhang Xiaofan's impact.

"Something doesn't feel right."

Zhang Xiaofan was clearly a little out of sorts. Was it because he ate an inner pellet?

But wasn't it already refined?

Why is there another problem, could it be that an inner pellet has side effects?

But right now, Li Jie didn't know what exactly happened, so he could only continue to watch.

Uncle Ceng often frowned when he saw this. He knew that his son, Ceng Shushu, weighed a few kilograms, but it shouldn't be a problem for him to deal with Zhang Xiaofan.

After all, Ceng Shuyun usually liked to do all sorts of random things, so he didn't cultivate properly.

"Xiaofan, your recent cultivation has been quite fruitful."

Ceng Shushu didn't forget to praise Zhang Xiaofan's performance, as if he wasn't here for the competition.

"I put in a thousand times more effort."

Zhang Xiaofan didn't say anything. On the contrary, he was very determined to win the match.

Taking advantage of the huge increase in strength, Zhang Xiaofan didn't waste any more time attacking Ceng Shushu.

For a time, even the experts began to fight with each other. It could be said that this fight was extremely intense, and was much more exciting than the previous match between Zhang Xiaofan and Shen Tian.

Even an individual didn't use any weapons; it was a close combat.

"So fast!"

The disciples below the stage realized that Zhang Xiaofan's speed had increased quite a bit, and Ceng Shushu could no longer resist it.

Many of these disciples had heard the news about Li Jie, and they also discussed the matter of Li Jie pointing at Zhang Xiaofan. Initially, they thought that it was just a casual release of the news, but today, they saw that Zhang Xiaofan's cultivation had improved by a lot.

This kind of real competition was something that he had not seen for a long time. Disciples with slightly higher cultivations would all carry magical treasures with them, and as for this kind of fight, it was unknown how long it had been since they last saw each other, but it felt very fresh and refreshing.

The Dao Xuan looked more carefully. He had been observing Zhang Xiaofan the entire time. Not only did his speed suddenly increase, but his strength did not decrease at all. This was something the Dao Xuan did not expect.

Was this Li Jie really that capable? He had been in the Clear Sky Peak for hundreds of years, and teaching disciples was the same as Li Jie. It was only a few days since Li Jie had arrived, but he had already raised Zhang Xiaofan from his lowest level to this level.

"It would seem that we were all mistaken about him back then."

Dao Xuan sighed. It wasn't that Zhang Xiaofan's talent wasn't good. It was just that the way he was being groomed was wrong. He had his own areas of expertise.

"It seems like junior brother Tian earned quite a bit. He originally thought he was useless, but now he's actually exploded with such power."

When the other leaders saw the change in Zhang Xiaofan's expression, they couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

As for Tian Buyi, he was actually overjoyed.

It was true that Zhang Xiaofan's level allowed him to enter the top eight, but Lin Jingyu's strength was still there. As long as he did not meet Qi Hao, Lu Xueqi, and a few of the stronger disciples, he would not be able to steadily enter the top four. Zhang Xiaofan would then enter the top eight, so what if Zhang Xiaofan was stopped at the top four.

Cang Song also did not know what was going on with this year's disciples. Each of them was so virtuous and so unarmed like Zhang Xiaofan. What was the point in doing this? Wasn't it great to get a good ranking in the competition?

"Junior Zhang has indeed improved a lot!"

Below the stage, Qi Hao watched as Zhang Xiaofan gradually gained the upper hand, and he was not stingy with his praise as well.

The competition had already entered its white-hot phase. Zhang Xiaofan's fist landed on Ceng Shushu's body. He was already unable to hold on any longer.

Xiaofan's fists were getting harder and harder.

However, Zhang Xiaofan did not look happy at all. As time passed, his forehead was already covered in sweat. From the looks of it, this bit of suppression was not easy to obtain.

Most importantly, Zhang Xiaofan did not want to drag this on any longer. He felt that this power was rampaging through his body, and he could not hold on much longer. It was better to finish the battle as soon as possible.

He once again launched an attack at Ceng Shushu, but this time, Ceng Shushu was not prepared and was already very weak.

After receiving a few more punches from Zhang Xiaofan, he was unable to hold on and almost fell off the stage.

"I admit defeat, I admit defeat."

Ceng Shushu hurriedly raised his hand. According to the circumstances, he knew that he wouldn't be able to eat much. If he wanted to win against Xiaofan, it would be even more difficult, so he might as well admit defeat.

Hearing Ceng Shushu admit defeat, Zhang Xiaofan heaved a sigh of relief. His face was incomparably pale, and the car he had ridden earlier was still constantly moving forward. He could even feel his muscles trembling.

"Zhang Xiaofan won this match."

Since someone had admitted defeat, the head judge also immediately declared Zhang Xiaofan's victory.

"Xiaofan, are you alright?"

Although Ceng Shushu had lost the match, he was already good friends with Zhang Xiaofan. When he saw the pained expression on Zhang Xiaofan's face, he hurriedly asked out of concern.

Zhang Xiaofan gritted his teeth and persevered. That surge of energy had suddenly disappeared, but his body had already lost all of its strength. He collapsed to the ground, paralyzed.

"Ai ai ai ai."

When Ceng Shushu saw this, he quickly supported Zhang Xiaofan.

"Not good."

Li Jie hurriedly jumped down from the stage, wanting to see what exactly was going on with Zhang Xiaofan.

Tian Buyi was about to get up, but he didn't expect Li Jie to be even more anxious than he was.

He sat back down.

"Are you alright?"

Li Jie arrived in front of Zhang Xiaofan.

He was still hoping for Zhang Xiaofan to complete the mission, so that no mishap would happen to him.
