Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Chapter 478 Chen Family

Li Zhi and the other person came to the front of the ranking list. A huge stone tablet stood tall and majestically. In the sunlight, it exuded a heavy and ancient atmosphere.

On the stone tablet, the names are arranged neatly and orderly.

These names are carefully engraved on long wooden boards, which are firmly embedded in the grooves of the stone tablet.

Li Zhi looked carefully and found that there were exactly one hundred wooden boards stuck on the stone tablet.

His eyes flashed, and he understood instantly. This meant that in the huge Tiger Guard City, only one hundred people could make it onto this list.

What is the population of Huwei City?

Although Li Zhi was not sure, judging from the size and bustle of the city, there were at least tens of thousands of people.

Those who can make it onto this list have all climbed up from among tens of thousands of people after countless battles. It is easy to imagine how difficult it is to make the list and how fierce the competition is.

Li Zhi's gaze slowly moved up the stone tablet, and the first position on the list was engraved with the words "Wu Zhan".

Looking down, each name seemed to be stained with blood and cruelty in his eyes, and behind each name seemed to be hidden a thrilling battle story.

Just as Li Zhi was immersed in the shock brought by the rankings, Ah Sheng suddenly tugged at his clothes.

Li Zhi looked at Ah Sheng with a puzzled look on his face, only to see Ah Sheng slightly nodding his lips to the side.

Li Zhi looked in the direction Ah Sheng pointed, and saw that a ring not far away was surrounded by a crowd of people, and it was very lively and bustling.

Li Zhi's curiosity piqued, and he quickly asked, "Brother Asheng, what happened over there?"

Ah Sheng had sharp eyes and guessed the reason at a glance. He responded, "It seems that someone wants to challenge the person on the list."

When Li Zhi heard this, his eyes instantly flashed with excitement, and he couldn't wait to call out to Ah Sheng: "Then why are we still standing there? Hurry up and go over there. If we're late, we won't be able to get a good seat!"

The two men plunged into the crowd, using all their strength to squeeze forward.

After some pushing and apologies, he finally managed to squeeze to the front of the crowd.

Li Zhi looked up at the ring and saw two people standing on the ring, forming a sharp contrast.

A man with a burly figure, shirtless, his muscles bulging like hills, with distinct lumps and a strong sense of oppression. His face was ferocious and fierce, like a demon, and he shouted at the person opposite him, "You little bastard, are you so bold as to challenge me!?"

His opponent, on the other hand, looked particularly thin and frail compared to his own terrifying figure.

However, facing the fierce scolding from the strong man, this man's face was as calm as water, and his eyes revealed a sense of indifference and confidence, as if the strong man in front of him was just an insignificant ant and he did not take it seriously at all.

Li Zhi turned his head and asked Ah Sheng, "Brother Ah Sheng, who is that strong man?"

Without hesitation, Ah Sheng blurted out, "He's Wang Bao, who ranks 97th on the list. He's quite famous in Tiger Guard City."

Li Zhi then asked, "Then who challenged him?"

Ah Sheng carefully examined the challenger, a look of surprise on his face, as if he was very surprised by this person's appearance. He said, "It's actually someone from the Chen family!"

"Chen family?" Li Zhi looked confused.

Ah Sheng knew that Li Zhi had just arrived and wasn't familiar with the distribution of forces under the Xingyun Sect, so he patiently explained, "The Chen family is a fairly powerful family under the Xingyun Sect. However... in the past, the Chen family's activities were mainly concentrated in the Bianwei City area. It's really surprising that they suddenly came here to compete today."

While Li Zhi and A Sheng were talking, the two people on the ring had already started fighting.

As soon as the king leopard made a move, he displayed an agility and speed that was extremely inconsistent with his huge body.

He just shook his body slightly, and the whole person was like a black lightning, and in an instant he was next to the people of the Chen family.

Wang Bao quickly clenched his right fist, gathering strength to strike. His left hand stretched out like a pair of pliers, tightly gripping the neck of the Chen family member. A ferocious smile appeared on his face, as if he had already seen the tragic scene of the other person's brain bursting due to his punch.

However, at this critical moment, Wang Bao suddenly felt a sharp pain in his left hand, which was pinching the other person's neck, as if it was pierced by thousands of steel needles at the same time.

He subconsciously wanted to retract his hand, but it was too late.

Seeing this, the Chen family laughed loudly: "Want to retreat? Not that easy!"

Before he finished speaking, the man from the Chen family suddenly exerted force on his feet and approached Wang Bao as quickly as a cheetah.

He raised his palms and pressed hard towards Wang Bao's chest. Wang Bao was horrified and quickly raised his hands to block.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the palms of the Chen family members touched Wang Bao's hands, Wang Bao felt a piercing pain in his hands, as if he was pierced by thousands of fine needles at the same time.

He was about to retreat and dodge again, but the people from the Chen family kept pressing on, not giving him any chance to breathe.

The man from the Chen family tapped the ground lightly with his feet, and his whole body spun rapidly around Wang Bao like a nimble butterfly. At the same time, his hands kept slapping various parts of Wang Bao's body quickly, and each slap brought out a sharp sound of wind.

As the Chen family members paused and stepped back slightly, Wang Bao's miserable appearance covered in blood was instantly exposed to everyone.

At this time, Wang Bao's eyes were dull, his steps were weak, his feet went soft, and he collapsed to the ground like a puddle of mud, losing the ability to resist.

Upon seeing this, the Xingyun Sect disciple acting as referee immediately stepped forward and loudly announced, "The winner of this match is...Chen Chang!"

Li Zhi's eyes flickered as he stared at Chen Chang on the ring, then looked at Wang Bao lying on the ground covered in blood. He couldn't help but wonder what kind of strange magic Chen Chang had practiced that could beat the powerful Wang Bao without any chance of fighting back in such a short time.

Ah Sheng, who was standing by, seemed to have seen through Li Zhi's thoughts and took the initiative to speak: "The magic inherited by the Chen family is called the Thousand Needles Technique."

"Thousand Needles Technique?" Li Zhi repeated, his eyes full of curiosity.

Ah Sheng nodded and continued to explain, "That's right. It's said that practicing this technique can condense the Qi in the body into needle-like hidden weapons as thin as cow hair, which can be hidden in various parts of the body. When fighting with others, these fine needles can be instantly activated and can not only directly attack the opponent, but also take advantage of the momentum to penetrate the opponent's body, destroying their meridians and causing fatal damage. Just now, Wang Bao suffered a loss in this way. With his bare hands, he was unable to withstand Chen Chang's thousand-needle attack."

Li Zhi nodded slowly, secretly putting himself in Wang Bao's shoes and thinking from his perspective. Facing an opponent like Chen Chang who was covered in needles, it would be really hard to resist without suitable weapons or countermeasures.

Then, Li Zhi saw the Xingyun Sect disciple in charge of this arena, holding a wooden board with the name "Chen Chang" engraved on it, and quickly walked to the ranking stone tablet.

The disciple skillfully took down the wooden board with the name "Wang Bao" written on it, which was originally ranked 97th, and replaced it with the new one in his hand.

Chen Chang looked at his name engraved on the stone tablet with a smug look on his face. He then turned to the crowd below who had witnessed his victory and said loudly, "Thank you all for coming today. To celebrate, I've booked the Qinghua Pavilion. If you don't mind, you can come with me and enjoy a few drinks!"

After saying that, Chen Chang left the ring in high spirits, surrounded by the crowd.

Seeing them leave, Ah Sheng quickly pulled Li Zhi to follow. Li Zhi looked puzzled and asked, "Brother Ah Sheng, where are you going?"

Ah Sheng waved his hand and said with a smile, "It's so rare to be treated to a meal. It's such a great opportunity, wouldn't it be a shame not to take advantage? Besides, the Chen family has never been active in Tiger Guard City. Today, they suddenly challenged the competition here and successfully made it into the rankings. The local forces in Tiger Guard City will definitely not let them go. Let's go with them, maybe we can witness a good show."

When Li Zhi heard this, he immediately became interested and quickly followed Asheng's footsteps.
