Chapter 185: Fled

“Is it very difficult?” Chu Nan shrugged, “I don’t know what cultivation method and movement technique you used, but from the situation just now, you probably used a special method to interfere with my vision and make my eyes unable to capture your figure.”

Brax was silent for a moment before nodding lightly.

“Since you can’t see me, how did you determine my location?”

“Because I don’t only have eyes.”

Chu Nan stretched out his hand and pointed at his ear. He paused for a moment and pointed at his nose and the exposed skin on his body.

“You only interfered with my vision, but my ears were not affected. With the sound I heard, the smell, and the change in the surrounding air flow, I could easily determine your location. This is not difficult.”

The surrounding audience were shocked and could not help but discuss among themselves.

“It’s one thing to hear sounds, but how can the smell and perception of the surrounding airflow be so clear? Is this guy bragging?”

“I don’t think so… Did you hear Brax’s voice when he used that movement technique?”

“No…”

…

Compared to the shock of the surrounding audience, Brax’s body suddenly shook, and the shock in his mind far exceeded.

Others did not understand the Phantom Illusion Movement Technique, but he naturally knew it very well.

The reason why the Phantom Illusion Movement Technique could be evaluated as an A-rank cultivation method was because when it was cultivated to a powerful state, it could rely on the complementation of the Internal Breath cultivation method to interfere with the enemy’s vision, hearing, smell, touch, and all other senses towards the outside world, causing the other party to be completely unable to capture his situation and obtain an absolute advantage in battle.

According to the description of this cultivation method that his father had taught him, when the ancestor of the family had cultivated the Phantom Illusion Movement Technique to its strongest state, once he used it, he could completely conceal all his aura. To others, he could be almost completely invisible and not be sensed by anyone. Even the most advanced and high-end detector produced by the Noctem Chamber of Commerce could not detect it. It was enough to be called a legendary phantom.

Of course, Brax himself was far from reaching this realm.

He had only been told by his father that he was qualified to cultivate this movement technique when he broke through to the Internal Breath Realm six years ago. After six years of cultivation, he had only grasped the extent to which he could use the Phantom Illusion Movement Technique to affect the enemy’s vision. He was still far from disturbing the other party’s five senses.

However, even so, he had never failed to use this movement technique in previous battles. It was only today that he encountered Chu Nan that he suffered a loss.

Chu Nan’s performance in the battle earlier could even be said to have completely broken the Phantom Illusion Movement Technique!

Brax did not understand how Chu Nan could do it earlier. Now that he heard his answer, he understood, but the shock he felt was much stronger than in the battle earlier.

This guy was clearly only 18 years old. From the looks of it, he had just broken through to the initial-stage Internal Breath Realm. How could he be able to use his five senses to sense the enemy in battle at the same time?

This was a trait that usually only those veteran martial artists with incomparably rich combat experience could possess!

Of course, Chu Nan’s answer also made Brax completely understand that the possibility of victory had completely disappeared.

He had already lost this competition.

However, when he recalled the bet he made before the competition with Chu Nan, Brax could not take the initiative to admit defeat.

He stared at Chu Nan for a while before suddenly snorting heavily. His feet suddenly kicked off and his body flew high into the air. He flew above the heads of the surrounding people and landed on a wall beside the martial arts arena. With a leap, he had already disappeared into the shadows of the Flowing Cloud Martial Arts Hall.

Seeing that Brax had actually run away, the surrounding crowd was immediately stunned.

After a long time, a low curse sounded in the crowd.

“Damn, this guy actually fled just like that?”

“Isn’t this too shameless! He clearly lost, but he actually didn’t admit defeat and ran away!”

“That’s right. To think he even made a bet with Chu Nan that whoever loses will leave the test. From the looks of it, he’s definitely going to go back on his words!”

“Damn, this coward is not worthy to be a martial artist of our Purple Cloud Planet! If he obtains the spot and represents our Purple Cloud Planet to participate in the Star Cloud Academy’s test, then he’ll simply embarrass our entire Purple Cloud Planet!”

“Right, if he still dares to appear in the afternoon, I guarantee that I’ll curse him to death!”

“Right! We definitely can’t let him participate in the test again. If he dares to come, we’ll curse him!”

“That… actually, he might not have lost, right? No matter what, he’s a fourth-stage Internal Breath Realm Martial Artist. It’s not that easy to lose…”

“You’re actually speaking up for him? You’re on his side? Do you want to be as shameless as him? You can even deny losing a bet?”

“I…”

…

When he saw his companions who had appeared with Brax being berated by the other young martial artists around him and had no choice but to leave in despair, Chu Nan could not help but smile.

The federation government had always been working to eliminate the regional differences between the various planets of the federation. Now, it seemed that the effect was not great. At the very least, the martial artists on the Purple Cloud Planet would mention this from time to time.

In fact, the battle between Chu Nan and Brax did not last long, but it took more than half an hour.

After Brax left, Chu Nan and the other examinees shockingly discovered that there was less than ten minutes until the assessment officially began at 1 PM.

After receiving the reminder that the Flowing Cloud Martial Arts Hall had sent to every examinee in advance, the surrounding crowd did not have the time to worm their way into Chu Nan’s good books and walked back to the examination hall with him.

In fact, more than half of the examinees had already been eliminated in the morning’s initial evaluation, so after only about an hour and a half of the initial evaluation in the afternoon, they had already tested all the examinees who had signed up and determined the final pass list.

To be able to complete the initial assessment of thousands of examinees in less than a day, it had to be said that the efficiency of the Flowing Cloud Martial Arts Hall was extremely high. However, at this moment, no one had the time to praise this point. Everyone’s attention was focused on the thing they were most concerned about.

According to the number announced after the end of the initial evaluation, the total number of examinees who had passed the initial evaluation was 287. This meant that they had to undergo a review test and eliminate at least 187 examinees.

The number of examinees who had to be eliminated even exceeded the quota set by Star Cloud Academy. It was enough to prove that the average standard of the young martial artists on the Purple Cloud Planet was very good. They could be ranked at the top of the 19 inhabited planets in the entire Earth Federation.

However, to the examinees participating in the test, this was not important. What they were concerned about was the specific content of the review test.

What method did the Flowing Cloud Martial Arts Hall plan to use to eliminate the selection?

As for the problem that Chu Nan was concerned about, it was one more than the other examinees who had passed the initial assessment.

The father and son, Xue Changhao and Xue Zhengming, were both filled with hostility towards him. Then, would the Flowing Cloud Martial Arts Hall secretly do something to him in the review test?
