Chapter 224: Battle on the Ice

When Hasklovsky brought Chu Nan to the ice surface of the small lake to explain his intentions, it immediately caused a group of laughter.

“Ha, dear Hasklovsky, you said that this kid wants to fight us? Are you sure you’re not joking?”

“Oh, look. His thigh is not even as thick as my arm. I’m afraid if I casually move, I’ll break his thin arm that’s like a tree branch.”

“Hasklovsky, don’t tell me you’re deliberately finding some fun for us because we’re bored here?”

…

Hearing the unbridled mockery of the Marshal’s personal guards, Chu Nan was not angry at all. He only glanced at Hasklovsky strangely.

When he introduced Chu Nan to this group of soldiers earlier, he did not mention his identity. Now that he saw their reaction, he seemed to have done this on purpose.

However, Chu Nan did not mind. If these soldiers were really afraid of his status as a guest and were unwilling to fight him, or if they were hesitant when fighting, it would be too boring.

When he thought of this, Chu Nan grinned at the soldiers who were laughing the most.

“Heh, whether you can fight or not is not determined by the thickness of your arms and legs. You’ll only know who’s stronger after fighting, right?”

The soldiers looked at Chu Nan in surprise and laughed again.

“Ha, this kid is quite arrogant.”

“That’s right, I like him.” The soldier who had said that Chu Nan’s thigh was not even as thick as his arm took a step forward and punched with both fists, emitting a muffled bang. Then, he curled his hand at Chu Nan, “Come, I’ll play with you.”

Hasklovsky looked at Chu Nan and gestured with his eyes.

Chu Nan nodded. “Come.”

With a wave of his hand, the other soldiers retreated and smiled at Chu Nan, “If you feel that you can’t hold on, you can stop at any time.”

“There’s no need.” Chu Nan shook his head, “If you have the intention to stop at any time and admit defeat, there’s no need to spar.”

Hasklovsky’s heart stirred as he recalled Chu Nan’s performance in the West Cloud Planet’s martial arts competition. After pondering for a moment, he nodded and retreated to the side.

After everyone made way, the extremely strong soldier chuckled at Chu Nan. Without a word, he threw a punch.

This punch was powerful and heavy. As soon as the fist left his body, it already brought about a terrifying wind whistle and air explosion. It was extremely powerful.

However, his moves were still as straightforward as what Chu Nan had seen earlier. They were not fancy at all and looked very simple.

However, it was also this straightforward and simple move that made his punch extremely fast. Almost as soon as his body moved, his fist had already appeared in front of Chu Nan.

Chu Nan’s body sank slightly. He retracted his left fist to his waist and spat out his right fist.

It was the first move of the first stance of the Hong Clan’s Long Fist that he had not used for a long time—Sitting Horse Rush Fist.

Boom!

Their fists collided and Chu Nan’s body was immediately sent flying like a kite with a broken string.

Fortunately, Chu Nan was already mentally prepared. He flipped in the air and stepped on the ice more than ten meters away.

“Hey, kid, you actually don’t even use your Internal Breath. Are you looking down on me?” The soldier in the distance shouted with an extremely dissatisfied expression.

Chu Nan waved his hand and felt the intense soreness on his right fist. He could not help but secretly click his tongue.

In fact, not only did he not use his Internal Breath in that punch just now, the other party also did the same. What they were completely competing in was the use of their physical strength.

However, the truth proved that although Chu Nan’s punch had perfectly displayed nearly 100% of his physical strength, there was still a huge difference between him and the other party.

Clearly, not only did the other party have an extremely powerful physical body that matched his physique, the fist technique he used could also unleash the powerful strength he had extremely well.

Chu Nan thought for a moment and could not help but raise his head to ask, “Can you tell me what fist technique you used?”

“Fist technique?” That soldier glared, “What? You want to probe military secrets?”

“Military secrets?” Chu Nan was immediately stunned and could not help but turn to look at Hasklovsky.

Hasklovsky shrugged at Chu Nan, “He’s right. All the cultivation methods they cultivate are secrets of the Federation Army and can’t be easily leaked.”

“You can’t say the name either?”

Hasklovsky continued to shake his head.

Chu Nan could only turn around and stop asking.

“Hey, kid, even if I tell you, what can you do?” That soldier sneered in disdain, “If you have the guts, come defeat me. If not, go aside and play by yourself.”

Chu Nan glanced at him and was not moved by his provocation.

After thinking for a moment, he said to the other party seriously, “I’m going to use my Internal Breath for the next punch. Be careful.”

“Heh…” That soldier laughed exaggeratedly,” So what if I want to use my Internal Breath? Looking at you, you’re probably just a rookie who has just broken through to the Internal Breath Realm. How strong can your Internal Breath be? Come, even if I don’t use my Internal Breath, I can still beat you until you look for your broken teeth on the ground! ”

“I’m only reminding you. I don’t mean anything else.”

As soon as Chu Nan finished speaking, he tapped his feet and instantly crossed more than ten meters of ice before throwing a punch.

That soldier revealed a disdainful expression and stood on the spot without moving, directly punching back.

His move was too simple. In fact, Chu Nan could completely rely on his recent understanding of the exquisiteness of the Flowing Cloud Indefinite Palm to suppress it through his move. However, this time, he just had to try fighting head-on. Therefore, he did not dodge and punched the other party’s fist again.

Boom!

This time, Chu Nan did not move, but the soldier was sent flying.

He was not like Chu Nan who had long been mentally prepared through a detailed data analysis. He did not even expect that he would be unable to defeat Chu Nan with a punch. This time, he was sent flying and fell heavily on the ice.

Due to the fact that the ice was too smooth, he actually slid for more than 30 meters before barely stopping. He looked extremely miserable.

“Haha, Ji Moyev, you’re really useless!”

“That’s right. You were actually sent flying by a punch from such a kid. You’re simply too embarrassing!”

“Heh, Ji Moyev, did you not eat enough at noon? You can’t even take a punch from this little guy. It’s too outrageous.”

…

To Chu Nan’s surprise, after seeing that soldier being sent flying by Chu Nan’s punch, the other soldiers of the Guards Legion did not seem angry at all. Instead, they mocked him loudly.

In fact, compared to their mockery of Chu Nan, their mockery was even louder and more impolite.

At the same time, many soldiers directly gave Chu Nan a thumbs up and praised him.

“Heh, kid, I didn’t expect you to be so thin and weak. Your fist is not weak.”

“Anovich, you’re really a fool. Can’t you tell that this kid clearly has deep Internal Breath? Heh, kid, you look like a rookie who has just broken through to the Internal Breath Realm. Why is your Internal Breath so strong?”

“That’s right. Although Ji Moyev is very weak, if you want to send him flying with a punch, your Internal Breath has to at least reach the level of a second-stage or even third-stage Internal Breath Martial Artist. Tell me, what level are you now?”

…

Before Chu Nan could answer, a loud roar suddenly sounded out of thin air. Ji Moyev, who had been sent flying by Chu Nan’s punch, bounced up on the ice. A ball of red light appeared on his body and smashed towards Chu Nan like a cannonball.

“Heh, Ji Moyev is serious. Little guy, you have to be careful.”

Seeing Ji Moyev’s might, the soldiers beside him kindly reminded him.

In fact, there was no need for them to remind him. After Ji Moyev roared, Chu Nan had already shifted his attention over. Soon, he determined from Ji Moyev’s speed and the subtle changes in the air flow that he brought about that his punch was more than a few times stronger than the previous two punches.

He naturally did not dare to be negligent. The Internal Breath in his dantian surged wildly, and he instantly completed the modified Fifth Revolution Nine Revolutions Technique. He did not dodge again and threw a punch.

Boom!

An extremely terrifying air wave exploded from the collision of their fists. Not only did it blow up the clothes and hair of the surrounding soldiers, but it also directly swept through the ice of the entire small lake, forcefully blowing away the snow by the lake, revealing the soil that had not seen the sun for a long time.

Crack!

The ice under Chu Nan’s feet suddenly emitted a crisp sound. From the bottom of his feet, countless spider web-like cracks stretched out. Then, with a bang, the entire ice surface completely cracked. Chu Nan and the surrounding audience sank and their bodies involuntarily fell.
