Strongest Offline Cultivation

Chapter 33



The rumors started spreading out even more while Fu Chen and Xue Le made their way to the arena. It was the second day and the heat of the battle had already started.

Everyone from the audience was cheering the participants. Most of the audiences were the Outer-Door Disciples, there were very few Inner Door-Disciples and not a single Core-Door Disciple.

Since Fu Chen had to stay in the participant’s area, they parted ways after entering the arena. She went to the audience section while Fu Chen went to the participant section.

While the battles in the arena were going strong, Fu Chen had no interest over there. He had different thoughts in his mind.

‘As soon as I become the Outer-Door Disciple, I must go to the library and study carefully. Dad told me that there are several opportunities in our kingdom, we just need to find them.’

‘But, finding them would be no easy matter. Before I had no strength to wander inside the Forest of Five Regions but now, I got a little bit of strength and a lot of courage to venture around the Forest of Five Regions.’

‘Of course, I need to find the clue about the resources that could help me improve first. And, there is something that’s been bothering me through this entire morning.’

‘…. Should I use the rewards I have gotten from the system or not? Stat Points can increase my physical abilities and skill points allows me to improve cultivation technique and martial art without even using Golden Finger Function.’

‘But, if I use them, I will be more reliant on the system. So, currently, my only choice is to use the techniques and martial arts and maybe the weapon depending on its look.’

‘… Hmm is this going be to my final decision?’

Fu Chen asked himself but suddenly he heard a voice from outside.

“Disciple Mu Fan Vs Disciple Fu Chen!”

When he heard those words, he immediately stood up and walked toward the arena.

‘I must become more reliant on myself than the system. I must learn.’

Fu Chen walked onto the arena as the man fighting him also entered the arena.

He was wearing the same white-blue dress like him but there was a strange feeling coming out of him. He was holding a spear on his back and looking straight into Fu Chen’s eyes.

“Hope we have a nice battle!”

Mu Fan bowed and greeted him.

Fu Chen responded with a bow as well. The referee elder got off the stage and both of them took the stance.

Mu Fan didn’t grab his spear instead clenched his fist. As for Fu Chen, he repeated the same actions since he had no weapon in his hands.

Whoosh!

Both of them blurred from the audience’s vision and appeared in the middle of the stage, with their fist colliding against each other.

Bam!

Fu Chen got a notification but instead of looking at it, he kept his eyes on his opponent.

‘My opponent is not much stronger than me. I must find his attack patterns by myself.’

Fu Chen convinced himself and searched for the next move unfortunately, Mu Fan didn’t attack. He was also waiting for Fu Chen to make a move. But when both of them didn’t attack, they retreated.

Fu Chen stared at Mu Fan with a weird expression but quickly calmed down. He used his Storm Steps once again and moved around Mu Fan. But as he kept running around, Mu Fan didn’t make any movement at all.

He just stood there while keeping his gaze on him all the time. Fu Chen quickly changed his strategy since his spiritual qi was exponentially getting drained.

He put an immense thrust in his right foot before pushing himself toward Mu Fan with an extreme speed. Seeing this, Mu Fan narrowed his eyes and pulled back both of his arms.

He clenched his fist and his eyes widened for a moment.

“Haaaaa!”

Bam!

The moment Fu Chen struck with his right fist, Mu Fan slammed both of his fists on him and blocked the strike. He tried to push back Fu Chen but Fu Chen also used immense force to push him away.

Since he was the one who attacked, he quickly got momentum but it was still harder to even move him properly.

Suddenly, Fu Chen lifted his left leg and tried to kick Mu Fan with his knee but seeing this kick, he quickly dodged the knee.

Splash!

But, the next moment, a sharp dagger slashed his stomach. Using weapons in the battle wasn’t against the rule. So, Fu Chen never came here empty-handed. It’s just that weapon wasn’t in his hand.

“Argh!”

Mu Fan grunted in pain and retreated a few steps. He quickly understood that the knee slam was just a distraction to slash him. And, the dagger was in Fu Chen’s leg.

“It seems you are playing dirty.” Mu Fan tore a little bit of his shirt and closed the wound. He stared at Fu Chen and spoke.

Fu Chen held the dagger in his right hand and spoke with a serious expression.

“I intend to win.”

Whoosh!

Using the Storm Steps, he rushed towards Mu Fan.

“Then, don’t blame me for being ruthless.” Mu Fan took out his spear and held it with both of his hands. He took a step forward as he saw Fu Chen approaching him and thrusts his spear.

Fu Chen crouched down on his knees and slide under the spear. He moved his dagger as he went to slash Mu Fan’s leg but his dagger got blocked by the end of the spear.

Bam! Thud! Creek! Creek! Whoosh!

As soon as he blocked Fu Chen, he also kicked him. This time Fu Chen couldn’t block it and ended up sliding not the ground before he stopped.

Ding!

Without wasting a single moment, Mu Fan rushed towards Fu Chen and slashed his spear. Because the spear was long, he didn’t even need to come close to Fu Chen before he could attack.

Fu Chen raised his right hand and blocked the tip of the spear with his dagger. But, the whole weight of the spear alongside the power of Mu Fan started pushing him down.

‘I guess I can’t win this battle that easily. And, my spiritual qi is depleting as well.’

Fu Chen narrowed his eyes and kicked the shaft of the spear. As soon as he was released, he quickly jumped back and stood. He put the dagger in his foot and took a deep breath.

‘I could drag this as long as I want but it won’t help me, would it?’

‘So, let’s finish it!’

Fu Chen clenched his fist and an immense amount of spiritual qi gathered at his fist. Seeing this Mu Fan gulped down his saliva and gripped the spear tightly.

His spiritual qi was also infused with his spear but unlike Fu Chen, he didn’t have any martial art.

So, he took the chance and moved forward. His spear thrusts with an insane speed but suddenly it only pierced the air. At this moment, Fu Chen dodged his spear while being covered in the armor of a tiger.

Not just his hand, his entire body was covered by the armor of the tiger, giving him an amazing speed. He took a step forward and slammed his punch.

“Roaring Tiger Stance”

“First Stance- Crushing Fang!”

Bang! Bam! Bam! Thud!

His body flew out of the arena while colliding for few times. Mu Fan’s spear fell next to Fu Chen as he slowly put away his Tiger Armor.

For a moment, there was nothing but complete silence in the arena but a few seconds later, everyone screamed.

“Yeahhhhhhhhhh!”

‘So, this is the perfection of Roaring Tiger First. Damn it, how did this bastard awaken such a talent?’ On another side of the contestant, Zhu Tan clenched his fist and struggled to believe the power in front of him.

The blue tiger armor around Fu Chen was proof that he has perfected the first stance. Originally, it starts from his fist to the whole body. Once you reach perfection, it can be used for defense and movement alongside offense.

It could be said Roaring Tiger Stance was a perfect Low-Tier Martial Art. If the power increases even more, then it could be called Middle-Tier Martial Art.

Fu Chen turned around as he was about to leave the stage. But, at this moment, Mu Fan jumped on the stage and shouted.

“Fu Chen, let’s have a rematch after a month.”

Fu Chen was slightly surprised. He turned around and saw Mu Fan almost recovered. There were a few scratches on his body but everything was clear.

“Next time, I will have a martial art and then I will crush you.”

Mu Fan raised his hand and closed his fist as he stood there with determination.

Fu Chen slowly smiled and turned around.

“Then, let’s fight again!”
