It seemed Sun Yu hadn't been lying earlier.
He had genuinely intended to end Da Xiong’s life!
"Sun Yu, this is just a martial arts competition, why the need for this?"
Da Xiong frowned slightly, subtly stepping back to widen the distance between them.
This Sun Yu was not acting right!
"Heh, that’s not what Ouyang Feng said earlier!"
"Xiao Chuan is still lying in the infirmary, his life hanging by a thread!"
Sun Yu’s smile was sinister, his pale face contorted slightly.
Da Xiong was instantly confused.
Ouyang Feng was the one who injured someone, not him, so why was Sun Yu seeking revenge on him?
Besides, judging from Sun Xiaochuan's condition earlier, he had only suffered internal injuries at most.
With proper rest, he would be back on his feet in no time.
Yet, in Sun Yu’s words, Sun Xiaochuan sounded as if he was on the verge of death!
Da Xiong immediately said to Sun Yu, "You used some kind of medicine, didn't you?"
Da Xiong had reviewed the detailed profiles of all the contestants beforehand.
Sun Yu had only just stepped into the Houtian Body Forging realm.
He could barely be considered a martial artist.
But the techniques he had just displayed, with such powerful true qi, had even surprised Da Xiong!
No one would believe he hadn't consumed some auxiliary pills for this!
Sun Yu's expression paused for a moment, then he grinned and said, "Sharp eyes, but unfortunately, you won't have a chance to tell the referee!"
As soon as he finished speaking,
Sun Yu immediately attacked Da Xiong.
Perhaps it was because Da Xiong had seen through his use of medicine.
Sun Yu no longer attacked tentatively as he had before.
Instead, his attacks came one after another, a relentless barrage!
Each strike was aimed directly at Da Xiong's vital points like the eyes and heart!
Fortunately, Da Xiong had intensified his footwork training during this period.
Otherwise, under such high-intensity assault, he would have long since been defeated!
Da Xiong not only discovered that Sun Yu's true qi was unusually potent after taking medicine,
but also that his fingertips carried poison!
Because Sun Yu had accidentally grazed the railing of the arena,
Da Xiong noticed a corrosive mark left on the railing.
If that claw had landed on Da Xiong's chest,
his heart might have been melted away!
Da Xiong’s eyes widened.
If it were solely reliant on some pills, such an effect would be impossible to achieve.
There was only one organization capable of developing such a sinister poison:
The Shadow Organization!
With this thought, Da Xiong suddenly looked up and asked Sun Yu in disbelief, "You're actually cooperating with the Shadow Organization?"
"You know too much!"
Sun Yu's words came with the sound of the air being torn apart.
Da Xiong rolled on the ground, then instead of dodging as before,
he met Sun Yu's attack head-on!
Bang!
With a loud bang, their fists and claws clashed, the force so great that white smoke billowed out!
Da Xiong let out a cold snort, angry, "It seems you've sacrificed quite a bit for this martial arts tournament!"
Sun Yu didn't bother to reply.
In all his previous fights, Sun Yu had used the same moves.
Unfortunately, he had encountered Da Xiong.
Da Xiong’s cultivation was profound.
Coupled with the footwork training provided by Zhou Yu,
it meant that Sun Yu’s poisoned claws could not touch Da Xiong at all.
Now, with Da Xiong willing to engage him in a direct confrontation,
the poison could take Da Xiong's life in an instant!
"You're facing death, yet you have so much to say!"
Sun Yu could already envision himself standing on the podium, receiving rewards as the champion!
The Da Xiong before him was the undisputed first-place contender in this martial arts tournament.
As long as he defeated him…
Thinking this, Sun Yu launched his second wave of attacks.
And Da Xiong, fully aware that Sun Yu’s claws were coated with poison,
had no choice but to brace himself and face Sun Yu head-on.
He had no other choice. Constantly dodging wouldn't allow him to force Sun Yu off the stage.
Only by clashing head-on could Da Xiong have a chance!
As the fight intensified,
Da Xiong gradually began to fall into a disadvantageous position.
This was because the poison in Sun Yu's claws would spread throughout his body with strenuous movement.
Each time Da Xiong forcefully blocked Sun Yu's attacks, the poison would deepen, even taking root in his blood.
Flowing through his veins, spreading throughout his body!
In other words, the longer the fight, the deeper the poisoning!
If Sun Yu wasn't defeated soon,
Da Xiong might succumb to the poison by the end!
With this realization,
Da Xiong no longer hesitated and fought Sun Yu with all his might.
Approximately twenty minutes later.
Bang—
With a thunderous crash.
Sun Yu was sent flying by a punch from Da Xiong and slammed onto the arena floor. The bright red blood from his forehead was already trickling down his neck, staining his clothes.
While waiting for the referee's count,
a pool of blood had already gathered beneath Sun Yu…
"Da Xiong wins!"
The referee quickly announced.
However, the audience was already erupting in boos!
While martial arts competitions often involved intense fighting, this was the first time anyone had been beaten so savagely!
Sun Yu's pitiful state had ignited the crowd's anger!
"Even if Da Xiong wins first place, it's undeserved!"
"Exactly, Sun Yu never intended to kill, but Da Xiong, on the other hand, nearly beat him to death!"
"I can't believe Da Xiong, who usually seems like a simple and honest person, could have such a malicious heart."
"We demand severe punishment for Da Xiong and the revocation of his title!"
The cheers from the new students in the audience grew louder.
It wasn't just for anyone; it was a case of "when the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold."
If Da Xiong could beat Sun Yu to near death on the arena today,
then tomorrow he could do the same to them!
Therefore, the crowd believed Da Xiong had to be punished.
To prevent others from imitating his actions!
As the crowd's clamor grew, Da Xiong slowly stepped down from the stage.
However, the referee urgently called for the medical team and also notified Lin Weidong.
Logically speaking, in a martial arts combat, regardless of whether Sun Yu was still breathing,
even if Da Xiong had killed Sun Yu on the arena,
it would not have violated any rules!
But the outcry from the new students was too high, making any decision the referee made seem wrong.
Only Lin Weidong's intervention could resolve this!
Sun Yu was quickly placed on a stretcher and taken to the infirmary.
Lin Weidong also rushed over.
"Elder Lin, as you can see, during the match between Da Xiong and Sun Yu, neither of them held back their attacks."
"Now everyone is clamoring for severe punishment for Da Xiong."
The referee stood beside Lin Weidong, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
This made him nervous.
If this was handled poorly, it could lead to public outrage.
Even though the new students present were merely from aristocratic families,
they were backed by numerous top-tier families.
The referee did not want to bear the blame!
Lin Weidong nodded slightly, "Calm everyone down first. I will go and understand the situation."
Lin Weidong knew that Da Xiong was not a cruel and ruthless person.
Otherwise, on many previous occasions, Da Xiong could have attacked others.
But he hadn't.
Therefore, this time, Lin Weidong believed there must be some hidden reason!
The referee, upon hearing this, felt a pang of despair.
