Qin Siyang nodded, "Mm."
Rong Xin's gaze sharpened. The muscles beneath his armor rapidly swelled, and in the blink of an eye he turned into a powerfully built strongman.
"Qin Siyang, are you ready?"
Seeing this, Qin Siyang stopped the hand that had been about to pull out a candy from his pocket and asked, "Senior Rong, you wouldn't happen to be a strength-type sequence ability user, would you?"
Rong Xin heard a hidden meaning in Qin Siyang's question and frowned as he shot back, "Qin Siyang, do you think strength-type sequence ability users are weak?"
"No, I was just asking."
"I am indeed a sequence ability user mainly focused on the strength type. But I want to say that even among strength-type sequence abilities, there are many extremely powerful people. Because an increase in strength is a reflection of increased physical toughness, and it absolutely cannot be underestimated."
Qin Siyang nodded, "I know everything you said, Senior Rong. There is no high or low in martial arts, only strength or weakness in the practitioner. I'm not looking down on strength-type sequence ability users. It's just that unfortunately, I'm relatively good at countering strength-type sequence ability users, so I'm afraid winning wouldn't really be honorable."
Rong Xin didn't mind it much, "If you can win, that's real ability. What's there to talk about being dishonorable?"
"What Senior Rong says does make sense."
Qin Siyang silently activated [Violence] and said to Rong Xin, "I'm ready as well."
As soon as Rong Xin heard this, he leaped up and charged at Qin Siyang.
Rong Xin rushed toward Qin Siyang like a cannonball, his fist slashing through the air, and a deep rumbling vibration even came from the air.
With a fleeting glance, Qin Siyang judged that while Rong Xin's strength and speed were both quite good, they were still a bit lacking if he wanted to defeat him with that alone.
So he let go of the candy in his hand, instantly mobilized all the muscles in his body, gathered all his strength into his fists, and met Rong Xin's attack head-on.
The two fists collided like massive boulders crashing together.
BANG!
A sharp sound rang out, as if the air had been torn apart, fist winds surging and scattering in all directions.
Rong Xin's power was like a mountain flood breaking loose, vast and wild, crashing heavily down on Qin Siyang. Yet Qin Siyang stood firm on the spot like a steel levee, unmoving.
Rong Xin's brow furrowed, "You're also a strength-type sequence ability user?"
"I'm moderately good at it."
"Since you say you counter strength-type sequences, then let me see just how good you are!"
Immediately after, without any pause, the two of them slammed their fists together again.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Rong Xin's punches swept in like a violent storm, each punch stacking on the impact point of the previous one, which should have built up an enormous force.
But for some reason, facing such ferocious attacks, Qin Siyang only needed to throw punches calmly to dissolve Rong Xin's offensive.
"Senior Rong, if you don't increase your output, you're going to lose."
"What?"
Only then did Rong Xin notice that with every exchange of punches, the number display on Qin Siyang's armor increased by 1 point.
That meant that every time their fists met, the armor judged Rong Xin as having received a light injury.
After more than ten punches, Qin Siyang's score had already reached 15 points.
Qin Siyang's strength was actually greater than his own?
Rong Xin's expression turned grim as he shouted, "Again!"
"Huff! Huff! Huff!"
After several explosive bursts of air, Rong Xin's body suddenly shrank, while the size of his limbs swelled to twice their original size.
Immediately after, Rong Xin slammed two more punches at Qin Siyang.
Bang! Bang!
This time, each collision of their fists carried violent tremors. The air between their fists was compressed into invisible shockwaves that kept surging outward.
However, after those two punches, Qin Siyang's points increased by another 2, now reaching 17 points.
"How is that possible?"
Having activated [Violence] without showing it, Qin Siyang smiled faintly, still composed, "Senior Rong, do you have any other methods?"
Rong Xin's expression darkened, "I do!"
In an instant, a scorching wave of heat surged out around Rong Xin's body.
At that moment, Qin Siyang discovered that his own points had suddenly skyrocketed by 7, jumping from 17 to 24.
Rong Xin had activated a skill and then suffered a serious injury?
He frowned. Rong Xin was using a self-damaging move to fight him.
This time Qin Siyang didn't dare be careless. He also reined himself in and stored up power, preparing to devote full focus to meet Rong Xin's attack.
Rong Xin roared, "Qin Siyang, try taking this punch!"
Whoosh!
The punch was already so fast it turned into an afterimage.
Qin Siyang could see that along the path of the fist, even the air was slightly distorted.
BOOM!
The two fists collided.
This time, Qin Siyang did not steadily take Rong Xin's attack like before, but staggered back several steps before barely stabilizing himself.
Even while wearing fourth-tier armor, his fist was still slightly numb.
'Such terrifying strength!'
Looking at Rong Xin again, the points on his chest had changed from 0 to 3.
'One punch caused severe injury?'
Qin Siyang took a deep breath.
That last punch, if it had been a clash of bare flesh, would have crippled the arm he used to block it.
Sure enough, among sequence ability users, hidden dragons and crouching tigers were everywhere. Even his unreasonable physical attributes and skills were not invincible.
He still had to show a bit more of his strength.
Just as he was about to pull out a candy and activate [Banquet Domain] to avoid the edge of Rong Xin's power, Rong Xin instead stopped and stood still.
In Qin Siyang's gaze, Rong Xin lightly tapped the armor on his wrist three times, "I admit defeat."
Qin Siyang looked puzzled, "Senior Rong, that last strike already crippled me. Why admit defeat?"
Rong Xin took off his helmet, panting heavily, sweat completely soaking his hair.
"That attack just now, at most I can throw three punches. After that, I'll lose the ability to fight. If a single punch can't deal you a fatal injury, then I can admit defeat."
"So that's how it is."
Rong Xin sat on the ground, easing his own injuries, his face pale.
After about a minute or two, he barely managed to stand up and gave Qin Siyang a thumbs-up.
"Qin Siyang, your reputation isn't undeserved. Even Ban Dingyuan and Shi Tao, before enrolling, couldn't have had your level of strength."
Qin Siyang smiled, "I'm just a bit stronger than others, that's all."
"No. In this fight between you and me, it was a head-on clash, which is what I'm best at, and yet I still lost. If you used methods you're even better at, I'd probably be beaten into a 30 to 0 in an instant."
"So, I'm completely convinced."
As Rong Xin was speaking, a stream of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
He wiped it away lightly, "Let's go. Let's head out and announce the result to everyone."
Seeing that Rong Xin was already swaying as he walked, Qin Siyang took out the emergency medicine bottle Chen Fenghe had given him from his pocket, took out one pill, and tossed it to Rong Xin.
Rong Xin looked at the pill, only the size of a fingernail, "This is?"
"Healing medicine."
"Thanks."
Rong Xin had no suspicions at all. He believed Qin Siyang wouldn't and wouldn't bother to poison him with medicine, and directly swallowed the pill.
Three to five seconds after the pill entered his stomach, he immediately felt all the pain from his injuries disappear completely, returning him to a peak state full of energy.
'What?'
Rong Xin's eyes widened. He never expected there to be such an instant, immediate healing medicine.
'What kind of miraculous pill is this?'
Rong Xin licked his lips and looked at Qin Siyang, "The pill you just gave me… how much did it cost to buy?"
Qin Siyang shrugged, "Not for sale."
Rong Xin fell silent after hearing this.
Even the medicine was so extraordinary. One could imagine how many shocking trump cards Qin Siyang still hadn't revealed.
Competing with him on the battle arena was probably no different from playing with a child.
Then his gaze fell once more on Qin Siyang, who was striding away with long steps, and he sighed inwardly.
Qin Siyang had appeared out of nowhere. How many geniuses would be reduced to ants because of him?
