The Final

Qi Mu looked down at Chen Fan. "You're even thinner than her. Are you sure you can handle me?"

Chen Fan smiled. "We'll see."

The two of them faced each other in the middle of the arena. Qi Mu was a head taller than Chen Fan, and his muscles were bulging out of his clothes. He looked like he could easily crush Chen Fan with his bare hands.

But Chen Fan wasn't worried. He had faced much stronger opponents in the past and knew how to deal with them.

Qi Mu charged at Chen Fan, swinging his fists wildly. Chen Fan dodged his attacks easily and then countered with a palm strike. Qi Mu grunted and tried to grab Chen Fan, but he slipped out of his grasp.

They continued to exchange blows, but neither one could land a decisive hit. They were evenly matched in terms of strength and speed.

Eventually, Qi Mu grew tired and slowed down. Chen Fan took advantage of this and landed several punches on Qi Mu's face. Qi Mu fell to the ground, ****.

The referee declared Chen Fan the winner of the second semifinal match.

Qi Mu woke up a few moments later and was helped off the field by his servants.

Qi Mu looked up at Chen Fan, who was standing over him. He was still groggy from the punches, but he could tell that he had lost.

“I guess you’re not as weak as I thought,” he said. “Sorry for being such an ass earlier.”

Chen Fan nodded and helped Qi Mu to his feet. “No hard feelings. You were just trying to psyche me out.”

“Yeah, that’s right,” Qi Mu said. “I guess it didn’t work.”

“Not really,” Chen Fan said. “But it was entertaining nonetheless.”

Qi Mu laughed and slapped Chen Fan on the shoulder. “I guess we’re not so different after all.”

“I guess not,” Chen Fan said.

The two of them walked off the field together, laughing and joking with each other.

As the winner of the tournament I was awarded a martial art technique named the Turtle defense technique. Fang Qiong was waiting for me outside.

“Fang Qiong,” I told her, “the technique is incomplete.”

“What?” She asked surprised. “How do you know?”

“I’ve seen this technique before, and it’s not complete. There is another part to it.”

She nodded, “So where is the other half?”

“I don’t know, but I have a lead.”

“Oh? And what might that be?”

“The Shen family of the Southern Islands.”

She frowned, “That far away? Why would they have the other half of the technique?”

" The Shen family practices the Steel Body technique which is very similar to this technique."

“Well, we will have to find out. But we will need to go there personally. I’ll tell my sister we want to take a vacation, then we will leave.”

“Okay,” she said.
