Tianyun Lao Mao
Chapter 1299 Dare to Fight
"What exactly does Yi Yuqing want to do?"
Xie Qiwen, sitting in the VIP seats, frowned slightly as he watched Yi Yuqing suddenly stop on the stage.
Yi Yuqing's punch could have clearly ended Yu Qiaoqiao and finished the match, but now she stopped in mid-air.
Not only Xie Qiwen was surprised, but the people in the VIP seats were also very astonished.
Why did Yi Yuqing suddenly hold back?
However, what everyone didn't know was that Yi Yuqing was the most shocked at this moment.
Although she didn't use her full strength in this punch, the force behind it was not something Yu Qiaoqiao could easily withstand, yet Yu Qiaoqiao managed to do it.
"You're really amazing. After I released my restrictions, you're still the first person who can completely withstand my punch," Yi Yuqing said, looking at Yu Qiaoqiao with admiration. "But you should still give up. I can't possibly lose this match. My power is now 50% higher than when the fight started. You have no chance of winning."
At this point, she had to admire Yu Qiaoqiao. If she hadn't been born in the White Tiger Martial Arts Hall, had massive resources, and mastered the secret technique of releasing restrictions, she might not have been Yu Qiaoqiao's opponent.
But precisely because of this, many highly talented players wanted to join top martial arts halls or training centers. No one was as foolish as You Ziping, joining the Beidou Training Center where there were no resources and no secret techniques.
As Yi Yuqing spoke, she took half a step forward, and the stone slabs under her feet immediately cracked like a spiderweb.
She generated power from her legs, transferred it to her waist, then to her shoulders, and finally concentrated it on her punch.
Concentrating all the power in her body into one point.
Half-Step Beng Fist!
Yu Qiaoqiao's sudden block of her punch was likely due to luck. At the moment of contact, Yu Qiaoqiao's explosive power was greater than hers, but if she went all out, Yu Qiaoqiao would have no chance of resisting.
Moreover, her fist was now less than ten centimeters away from Yu Qiaoqiao. At this distance, even if Yu Qiaoqiao wanted to dodge, it would be impossible, and she couldn't even deflect the attack trajectory.
Bang!
Yu Qiaoqiao involuntarily took a step back, and the stone slabs under her feet also shattered. The strength was astonishing, and Yu Qiaoqiao still firmly grasped Yi Yuqing's wrist, preventing Yi Yuqing's fist from getting any closer to her shoulder.
"You..." Yi Yuqing stared at Yu Qiaoqiao, her heart filled with shock.
Her full-force strike was blocked!
"As expected of a genius from the White Tiger Martial Arts Hall. It was really difficult to resist your attacks without using restriction release before. Let's continue now," Yu Qiaoqiao said, looking at Yi Yuqing with a hint of excitement and a slight smile.
Yi Yuqing was stunned when she heard Yu Qiaoqiao's words.
From Yu Qiaoqiao's words, it was clear that Yu Qiaoqiao also mastered restriction release, but she just hadn't used it before.
Just as Yi Yuqing was about to retort, Yu Qiaoqiao acted.
Yu Qiaoqiao merely twisted the fist that was being held, immediately breaking free from Yi Yuqing's grasp. Then, with a gust of wind, she kicked out a leg that resembled a long blade cutting through the air, directly aiming for Yi Yuqing's head.
Yi Yuqing didn't dare to be careless, because at that moment, she sensed the aura of death. Her punching hand instinctively broke free from Yu Qiaoqiao's restraint, and she braced herself with both hands.
Bang!
At the moment of the collision between their hands and feet, Yi Yuqing felt a sharp, piercing pain in her defending arm that went deep into her bones. Then, her entire arm went numb, and she was sent flying as if she had been hit by a small car. However, Yi Yuqing reacted quickly, adjusting her body in mid-air and taking seven or eight steps back before finally stabilizing herself.
"This is impossible!" Yi Yuqing looked at Yu Qiaoqiao, who was now more than ten meters away, completely unable to believe what had happened.
Just blocking Yu Qiaoqiao's kick had numbed her arms, and she couldn't move them at all.
What kind of power was this?
The audience was silent, their eyes wide open, staring intently at Yu Qiaoqiao.
"Who exactly is she?" Xie Qiwen almost shouted as he watched Yu Qiaoqiao kick Yi Yuqing away.
At this moment, several blue veins were faintly visible on Yu Qiaoqiao's forehead, and coupled with her sudden surge in power, even a fool could tell that this was restriction release!
But restriction release was a secret technique that only top martial arts halls or training centers possessed. How could Yu Qiaoqiao have learned it, and even mastered it?
Back then, Yi Yuqing had undergone countless instructions and a year or two of hard training to master it, and even then, only one in a hundred people could learn it. If ordinary students were to learn it, it would probably be one in ten thousand.
But not only had Yu Qiaoqiao mastered it, but the amount of suppression she released was clearly greater than Yi Yuqing's.
At this moment, Jiang Tianyuan also revealed a look of surprise for the first time.
"This little girl is amazing! Which old geezer is her master? To be able to control herself so freely even in the restriction release state." Jiang Tianyuan looked at Yu Qiaoqiao, who was constantly launching attacks, and was very curious.
Although restriction release was difficult to achieve, it was even more difficult to unleash normal strength in the restriction release state. People like Xie Qiwen and Tang Jingyao had only reached this level, which couldn't be explained by talent alone, because it required detailed guidance and a lot of practical experience.
On the stage, the battle between Yu Qiaoqiao and Yi Yuqing was incredibly fierce, with every move causing the stone slabs on the stage to shatter, making everyone watching feel terrified.
Yi Yuqing, who was already inferior to Yu Qiaoqiao in combat experience, was even less of an opponent.
After more than a dozen exchanges, each collision made Yi Yuqing feel pain deep in her bones. Finally, Yu Qiaoqiao seized an opportunity and struck her shoulder with a palm, directly sending Yi Yuqing off the stage.
Yi Yuqing also knew that Yu Qiaoqiao had shown mercy, otherwise it wouldn't have been as simple as being knocked off the stage.
"Genius?" Yi Yuqing couldn't help but glance at Yu Qiaoqiao on the stage, feeling that it was ridiculous that others had always called her a genius. Just Yu Qiaoqiao's control over her strength in the restriction release state was far beyond her.
Her defeat was simply a matter of course.
After Yi Yuqing was knocked off the stage, the referee immediately announced the winner.
Yu Qiaoqiao!
As the referee announced the result, the entire venue was silent for a moment, followed by an uproar. This breathless match had given everyone present too much shock.
And the name of the Beidou Training Center was deeply engraved in the hearts of everyone present.
Not for any other reason.
But because three of the four semi-finalists were from the Beidou Training Center.
Six major cities, dozens of martial arts halls and training centers, including the top White Tiger Martial Arts Hall and a massive number of free participants. For a training center to have three people advance to the semi-finals was simply a miracle.
"Beidou Training Center? I'm going to sign up tomorrow!"
Many of the audience members present had already made up their minds. They wouldn't go anywhere else but the Beidou Training Center. Even some of the participating contestants had such plans.
In the VIP seats, some were happy and some were sad. Xiao Yu was extremely excited. This time, the name of the Beidou Training Center would definitely spread throughout the six cities. Xie Qiwen on the other side was both angry and helpless. He had never expected such a complete failure the first time he worked for the martial arts hall.
However, Xie Qiwen didn't give up. There was still the wild man Xing Huo. Maybe the final champion would be taken away by Xing Huo, which would be better than the Beidou Training Center taking it.
The semi-finalists had been decided. Because it was a friendly match, as long as You Ziping could defeat Xing Huo, it would be equivalent to producing the final champion of this match. Therefore, the first match of the semi-finals, You Ziping versus Xing Huo, was highly anticipated.
After more than ten minutes of stage repairs, You Ziping and Xing Huo walked onto the stage.
Just as the referee was about to announce the start of the match, Xing Huo suddenly stopped him, "Wait a minute!"
"Mr. Xing Huo, is there something you need?" the referee asked strangely.
"Before the match, I have a few words to say," Xing Huo said with a smile, looking like a grizzly bear.
"Okay, but I can only give you one minute," the referee nodded.
"Ten seconds is enough!" Xing Huo smiled, then took the referee's microphone, turned his gaze to Shi Feng in the VIP seats, and exuded an aura of overlooking the world. He said proudly, "Chief Instructor Shi! I only came here today for one reason, and that is because I heard that you are a high-level executive of the Zero Wing Guild. I hope you can bring a message to Hei Yan. Just tell him that I, Xing Huo, want to challenge him in God's Domain! Does he dare to fight?"
