He stood in place, staring across those dozens of green fist manifestations, coalesced from True Essence and looked at Huo Guang, remaining quiet without saying anything.
Time marched forwards rapidly; he didn’t have to wait long; the important figures within the Hall of Zhao Wen and the Li Palace clergy that were quietly observing the match didn’t have to watch long; the Regiment Shattering Fist, carrying fearsome power, finally arrived before him, akin to a real storm, flooding every angle of the area around his body.
For the many people who saw this scene, whether be it Xu Shi Ji, Mo Yu, or perhaps the clergy upon the second floor that leaned towards Orthodox Academy, they all couldn’t understand; they didn’t know what he wanted to do.
This is a duel within the Grand Examination, there wasn’t the danger of death, logically speaking, there shouldn’t be a situation where someone will just give up and wait for their defeat, not to mention, even if he was to admit to being unable to defeat his opponent, why would he stand in place and suffer the storm-like attack of the Regiment Shattering Fist?
Confusion and doubt, this was what most of those observing were currently feeling, some even felt rather disappointed, such as Prince Chen Liu and Mo Yu.
At this stage, Chen Chang Sheng had lost for certain.
Huo Guang’s Regiment Shattering Fist maintained its power, forming a light green perimeter of wind and rain that was around 7 metres in circumference, which surrounded Chen Chang Sheng, inside, there was countless wind and rain, all of which were horrifying fist manifestations.
Even if Chen Chang Sheng was now to utilise that simplified Discerning Steps, he wouldn’t be able to break out of that perimeter of wind and rain formed by the Regiment Shattering Fist.
Not unless he could utilise the real, complete version of Discerning Steps.
But that was impossible.
Arriving at the Capital in Spring, becoming the first student of Orthodox Academy in over a decade, bringing about countless commotion, wanting to become the first upon the First Banner in the Grand Examination; all of this was going to end at this very moment?
In the next instant, Chen Chang Sheng moved.
When everyone thought that he would move, he stood in place and didn’t move at all.
When everyone thought that he couldn’t possible move, he suddenly moved.
He didn’t use Discerning Steps, but instead, directly charged into the storm ahead that was formed by the Regiment Shattering Fist.
His movement seemed stiff at first glance, feeling a bit ungainly, but was very steady.
The tower’s second floor erupted in quiet cries, some of the observing clergy were very startled, some were very worried.
At this moment, in the air surrounding him, there were at least dozens of fist manifestations, whirling around like a hurricane, at the fore of each fist manifestation there was a fist, infused with a green glow.
Those fists were not real existences; they could be said to be fake.
But each of them harboured a fearsome power that was real as can be.
