That was too infuriating! What do you mean "without much effort?" Everyone present was young and couldn't stand hearing that. Immediately, many people looked at Chen Chuan with unfriendly eyes, and one by one, they couldn't help but step out from the crowd. Ni Qianxi immediately spoke up, "One at a time. Don't lose the battle and embarrass yourselves." The young people who came out all had their pride and, of course, wouldn't join forces to attack him. Most of them immediately retreated. Chen Chuan didn't mind. One person had one way of fighting, and two people had two ways of fighting. At worst, he could use Second Self to resist harm and slightly unleash the Furnace Breathing Technique, which would be enough to raise his physical fitness to a level to cope with most people present. In the arena, the few remaining human phase martial artists looked at each other. In the end, only a burly young man with a thin layer of hair remained there. This man clasped his fist and said, "Chen student, my name is Dou Bing." His voice was very thick. This kind of physique was obviously good at wrestling and grappling. It seemed he was preparing to get up from where he fell. Chen Chuan clasped his fist in return. "Please enlighten me." He was quite familiar with wrestling and grappling. The first time he faced a real opponent, Zhong Wu, he was skilled in this. Also, his friend, Qiu Xin, who was still lying with him, was also a master of wrestling and grappling. Moreover, because in Wuyi Academy, the Wrestling and Grappling Department was almost the Mutual Aid Society's base camp, he had privately guarded against and studied such opponents the most. Wrestling and grappling wasn't just stupidly hugging people. On the contrary, it tested one's eyesight and skills the most. Thinking that a large physique meant one wasn't smart was a stereotype. In fact, don't think that Martial Artists mainly train their bodies. In most cases, they rely on their brains to eat. He had thought of many countermeasures for such people, but later, he didn't have many opportunities to verify them. Now he felt he could try them out. Even if he failed, it didn't matter. He wouldn't have such a good opponent to practice with at other times, and he didn't have to worry about winning or losing. After thinking, he didn't put on a fighting stance but stood there casually. Dou Bing was facing a formidable enemy and didn't underestimate him because of his performance. The previous exchanges were enough to show that this opponent was not simple, but after a few tentative probes, Chen Chuan seemed to be completely unguarded, which made him feel a little strange. Although he still maintained a high degree of caution in his heart, he would not be deterred by this. He had confidence and faith in his wrestling and grappling skills. So he slowly moved closer, and then suddenly lunged forward, his hands reaching for Chen Chuan. If you looked at where his hands landed, it was almost the same position as when Chen Chuan grabbed Han Kuang, obviously trying to defeat Chen Chuan in the same way that Chen Chuan defeated Han Kuang just now. But what most people in the arena didn't expect was that Chen Chuan, facing this grab, didn't dodge or evade, and was simply caught by him, even Dou Bing himself was surprised. Not only them, but even Ni Qianxi and several older spectators were also surprised, wondering what he was doing. However, they had extraordinary experience and, relying on their rich experience, immediately thought of a possibility. Could it be that he wanted to… The moment Dou Bing grabbed Chen Chuan, Internal energy surged into his body. At this point, he had let go of half of his worries. No matter what Chen Chuan's plan was, unless his strength reached the point of completely crushing him, it was impossible to break free at this step. Next would be his rhythm. He suddenly lifted Chen Chuan up, and then slammed him to the ground. This was almost exactly the same as when Chen Chuan threw Han Kuang just now. Everyone was looking forward to it, and some couldn't help but shout out in anticipation. But they didn't notice that Chen Chuan's expression remained calm throughout the entire process. Just before he was about to land on the ground, he suddenly moved. His body bent, his feet lifted and wrapped around Dou Bing's neck, and then he grabbed the other person's arm with his backhand, a stream of Internal energy penetrated in reverse, and at the same time, his back and abdominal muscles contracted. Dou Bing suddenly felt a numbness all over his body, and he immediately lost his center of gravity. The action of falling down turned into rolling forward, and he slammed his back on the ground with a bang. Chen Chuan took advantage of the force to land steadily, then quickly stepped forward, pressed down on his head, which he was trying to lift, and slammed it down. With a "pop' sound, the latter lay there motionless. The spectators were all stunned. The battle situation changed too quickly, making it difficult for people to react and accept. Chen Chuan was about to be defeated just now, but in an instant, the roles were reversed, and the person lying there became Dou Bing. Ni Qianxi touched her lips with her purple lipstick and thought to herself that it was indeed the same as what she had thought just now. Grappling Strength had almost no flaws to be found in the moment of contraction and release. If there was a flaw, it was that as Internal energy was gradually released, the control over the restrained person became weaker and weaker. However, Mutated Tissue would have a brief process of adaptation and recovery from being restrained to being released. Most people simply didn't have the time to react, let alone make any effective counterattacks. However, Chen Chuan did it, and he also used this only gap to make a Counterattack. A very bold choice. If the reaction was a little slower, or if the Mutated Tissue was not mobilized in time, he would definitely kill himself. Was it that others couldn't think of this method? Couldn't see this flaw? No, it was that they didn't dare and didn't want to take such a risk. What a daring person indeed. She couldn't help but take the lead in gently applauding. Although it was risky, it was brilliant enough. The key was that he won, so all these choices were correct and not subject to criticism. After she applauded, Liu Yin immediately followed suit. His expression was very serious. He always believed that winning or losing was common. There was nothing wrong with losing. Just find the reason for your loss and plug the loopholes, right? Every opponent was worthy of respect. If you thought that losing was unacceptable, then what was the difference between closing the door and declaring yourself the strongest? He was very popular among the younger generation. Seeing him do this, many people had no choice but to reluctantly applaud, and scattered applause rang out in the arena. After Ni Qianxi finished applauding, she looked at Chen Chuan, "Chen student, second match, do you need to rest?" Chen Chuan said sincerely, "Thank you, Sister Ni, but it only took about the same time as before, so I probably don't need to." Hearing his words, the fists of several young people in the arena clenched involuntarily, making cracking sounds. Ni Qianxi glanced at them, uh-hummed, "Then who's next?" After a while, another student walked out of the crowd. His body lines were very well proportioned, and the muscles under his training uniform were lean and strong. He clasped his fist at Chen Chuan, "Chen student, my name is Ren Qiao, please enlighten me." Chen Chuan also clasped his fist. "Please enlighten me." Ren Qiao looked at Chen Chuan very cautiously. The lessons from the previous two rounds told him that he must not engage in close combat with the latter. He could only force him back to a certain distance. Because Chen Chuan had continuously defeated two opponents in a row, and all of them were resolved with one move, his idea was not to immediately defeat Chen Chuan with such a high target, but to deal with this person and maintain his own undefeated status first. At this time, a round-faced woman in her thirties with short hair walked to Ni Qianxi's side. She said, "Ren Qiao has always been a very down-to-earth person. Although he is not as good as Liu Yin, he is better at being steady and knowing that the road should be taken step by step. He should be able to deal with this Brother Chen for a while." At this time, Ni Qianxi snapped out a coin. The short-haired woman grabbed it and looked at it. "A one-yuan silver coin from the imperial era? It's rare. It's worth one hundred to two hundred yuan now?" Ni Qianxi: "I bet one round." The short-haired woman put away the silver coin, "Deal." In the arena, Chen Chuan was still standing very casually. This standing posture looked like he could be pushed down with one push, but Ren Qiao didn't dare to look at it at all. But he couldn't confront him for too long, otherwise it would exhaust his sharpness. So many people were watching around, and they were not here to see him stare blankly on stage. He was under a lot of pressure, so after waiting for a while, he decided to launch an attack. He didn't act rashly, but after getting a little closer, he lifted one foot, as if he wanted to kick out, and slightly faked it, trying to lure Chen Chuan to change or move first, but the latter remained unmoved. Seeing that the test was unsuccessful, he immediately took another half step forward and suddenly kicked up. Although it looked full of Strength, it was still restrained. Whether Chen Chuan met him or retreated, he had a follow-up move waiting. After Ren Qiao entered the arena, although Chen Chuan seemed very casual on the surface, he would not underestimate any opponent and had been paying attention to observing this person. Seeing Ren Qiao's way of attacking, he knew that this person had psychological baggage, so he behaved very steadily. If he was fighting in an Arena tournament, both sides would be limited by the rules, and many methods could not be used. There was nothing wrong with this mentality, but in such an Exchange competition, without clear rules, this kind of performance was not a good thing. And this was exactly where it could be used. At this moment, facing his tentative move, his feet were slightly bent, his hands were slightly apart, and his body leaned forward slightly. In the eyes of everyone in the arena, this was him preparing to rush up and hug his waist at the moment Ren Qiao kicked his leg. Ren Qiao stiffened, but he was prepared for it. He immediately dropped his leg and moved his other leg back to try to lower his center of gravity. However, at this time, Chen Chuan changed his action again. He moved his hands up, faintly towards his head, and also took a step forward. Ren Qiao realized that he was not wrestling and grappling, but came to capture his head. As long as he touched it, regardless of whether Internal energy came out or not, it would definitely be judged that he had lost. He hurriedly raised his hands and put on a posture to cover and Counterattack. But at this moment, he caught a glimpse of Chen Chuan's foot slightly off the ground, as if he was about to kick. He was immediately shocked, because if this kick landed, the landing point would be exactly in the gap in his waist at this moment. It turned out that the previous move was just to empty his defense. If this blow landed, regardless of whether he was injured or not, it would definitely throw off his center of gravity. After discovering it, he naturally had to remedy it. He hurriedly contracted his Strength again, trying to cover it, but what he didn't expect was that this action not only failed to complete, but also caused him to stagger to the side due to excessive involvement.

Just as he felt something was wrong, Chen Chuan suddenly came close, and two hands had already reached over, one hand grabbed his waist, and the other hand rested on his shoulder. A stream of Internal energy suddenly penetrated in, and his whole body felt weak. With a plop, he knelt on the ground. Then he felt his back of the neck being lightly tapped with knuckles, his body couldn't help but shake, and then he smiled bitterly: "I lost." epz3366xs80xxsxs yjxs3jx8pzxiaohongshu kanshubahmxstbiquhe
