Chapter 17

Passing through the crowd and leaving the archery range, William Bennett let out a long breath. Although there were some twists and turns at the archery range today, he had gained a lot.

William Bennett had just walked out of the archery range.

“Hahaha... William Bennett, I finally found you!”

A wild and unrestrained laugh rang out.

As soon as the voice fell, three youths came up to him, blocking William Bennett's way.

The leader was a black-clad youth with thick eyebrows and fierce eyes, a look of triumph on his face.

It was David Bennett!

“You little brat, last time I lost to you by accident. This time, I’ll make you lose so thoroughly that you’ll beg for mercy on your knees.”

David Bennett licked his lips, a trace of cruelty flashing in his eyes.

This time, he came to find William Bennett not only to defeat him openly, but also to humiliate and teach him a harsh lesson.

All because last time, being defeated by William Bennett in a single move had brought him immense shame...

William Bennett noticed that David Bennett had brought two helpers, both at the second level of martial arts cultivation. They stood on either side, watching for any escape attempt, clearly up to no good.

“Sister Yuhan, it looks like that William Bennett is in trouble.”

A girl next to Emily Bennett said.

At this moment, many people in the archery range had noticed the commotion.

John Bennett, who had lost in the previous archery contest, showed a hint of schadenfreude on his face...

However, in the face of trouble, William Bennett was not afraid and said straightforwardly, “Go ahead.”

Chapter 009: Second Level Peak

“Go ahead.”

David Bennett almost doubted his own ears—was this really the William Bennett he remembered?

Huh!

The moment his gaze locked onto William Bennett, his expression changed slightly, then he sneered, “So that’s it, you’ve broken through to the second level of martial arts... Hmph! If that’s all you’ve got, then today you’d better be ready to kneel and beg for mercy.”

William Bennett’s second-level martial arts cultivation only surprised David Bennett a little; it had no effect on his plan.

After all, William Bennett had just advanced to the second level, while he himself had been at this level for a year or two, and had even reached the peak of the second level.

Moreover, advanced martial arts techniques were his greatest reliance.

“Enough talk, my time is limited.”

William Bennett said coldly.

“Kid! Don’t get cocky!”

David Bennett flew into a rage, and with a “whoosh,” his limbs and body twisted into a strange, cunning posture, like a venomous snake, leaping up and striking fiercely at William Bennett’s lower body.

In the blink of an eye, David Bennett unleashed the “Thirteen Changes of the Viper.” Both his speed and explosive power far surpassed last time.

“David Bennett has probably trained the first three changes of the ‘Thirteen Changes of the Viper’ to the minor accomplishment stage.”

Standing in the archery range, Olivia Bennett showed a hint of surprise, slightly moved.

As a genius of the clan, she was given special training by the family and had naturally practiced advanced techniques.

The higher the level of a martial arts manual, the harder it was to master.

Once one could train an advanced martial art to the minor accomplishment stage, it could overpower the great accomplishment stage of an ordinary intermediate technique.

“So fast! The power is at least half again as much as before!”

William Bennett was also startled by David Bennett’s moves, but fortunately, he reacted quickly, his left eye seeing through David Bennett’s attack trajectory.

“Furious Dragon Surges the River!”

William Bennett shouted, squatting down hard, his internal energy surging under the guidance of the “Qi Pushing Formula,” suddenly gathering in his arms for the first boost.

David Bennett suddenly noticed his opponent’s energy surging, his aura greatly increasing.

But what was even more shocking came next. As William Bennett executed “Furious Dragon Surges the River,” his energy gathered and exploded between his fists, producing a second boost.

Third move of the Furious Dragon Fist—Furious Dragon Surges the River!

In that instant, William Bennett seemed to transform into a furious dragon, his aura wild as thunder, his fists turning into a blur as they smashed down.

Bang!

With the first punch, David Bennett’s body trembled, his energy churning, almost coughing up blood.

The “Thirteen Changes of the Viper” he practiced emphasized flexibility and cunning, not direct, forceful clashes.

But William Bennett’s fists seemed to know his attack trajectory, striking his weak spots with pinpoint accuracy.

Bang bang bang—

Fist shadows flickered, accompanied by violent crashes.

With the help of the “Qi Pushing Formula,” William Bennett pushed the third move of the Furious Dragon Fist, “Furious Dragon Surges the River,” to an astonishing level.

“Ah...”

David Bennett was smashed to the ground by the overwhelming force, his knees hitting the ground, arms numb, a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.

“You lost.”

William Bennett’s breathing was slightly heavy as he stepped out of the battle circle.

During the fight, he activated his left eye, clearly tracking David Bennett’s attack trajectory and still seeing through the flaws in his moves. Clearly, David Bennett’s advanced technique was still not truly perfected.

What surprised William Bennett most was that the power produced by combining the Furious Dragon Fist with the Qi Pushing Formula exceeded his expectations, already allowing him to challenge an ordinary third-level martial artist.

“How is this possible... I’m practicing an advanced martial art!”

David Bennett climbed up from the ground, roaring hoarsely.

The whole exchange between the two took only the time of two breaths.

One move!

David Bennett was defeated!

In the archery range, the Zhao clan youths were all dumbfounded.

Although it was a battle between those of the same level, to win in a single move was simply too outrageous—especially since the loser had been practicing an advanced technique.
