Only after the two separated and the powerful shockwave dissipated temporarily did everyone get a clear view of the scene.
Those who stand still are sinking.
It goes without saying who was sent flying backwards.
Many people were surprised by this result, but many others seemed quite relieved.
"Those people online who claim to be from Jiangzhong Military Affairs weren't exaggerating after all!"
"Shen Qian indeed possesses the strength of a high-level martial artist..."
"Then why didn't he make it onto the Hidden Dragon List?"
After witnessing firsthand that Shen Qian did not seem to have perished as rumored, everyone had even greater doubts.
Wang Shuo, having regained his balance, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He stared intently at Shen Qian, his previously gloomy expression returning to calm, and even a hint of excitement showing in his eyes.
"I almost thought I was going to be disappointed today."
Wang Shuo smiled mysteriously and said in a low voice, "This...is more interesting."
squeak!
Wang Shuo vanished from his spot once more, his violent energy tearing through the air and creating an incredibly sharp sonic boom.
Chen Qian remained motionless, like a mountain, and before Wang Shuo's afterimage had even dissipated, he had already unleashed a punch to the upper right.
Bang!
Chen Qian's right fist collided with Wang Shuo, who appeared as if in a flash.
Another shockwave rose, but this time everyone was prepared and retreated a hundred meters away, so no one was affected.
Bang bang bang!
A series of teeth-grinding collision sounds rang out.
In the blink of an eye, Shen Qian and Wang Shuo had exchanged more than ten blows.
The continuous afterimages of fists and kicks transformed into the most freehand ink painting. Everyone simply snapped a photo with their wristbands, and when they looked at the frozen image, they were all amazed.
"Such solid basic martial arts skills... Is this what genius is all about?"
Someone muttered to themselves, which resonated with many others.
Basic martial arts skills are something everyone knows, and because of this, the skill level displayed is obvious to everyone.
Chen Qian's punches and kicks were fast, ruthless, and accurate, with a subtle and just-right touch. He never wasted a single bit of energy, nor did he make any unnecessary movements.
Wang Shuo's style is continuous, with varying paces, more flamboyant, but also more aesthetically pleasing.
The two had completely different styles, yet they complemented each other at this moment, creating a visually striking effect amidst the flying pebbles and the crisp, resounding sounds of their punches landing.
"Monsters, they're all fucking monsters!"
A senior student from Beiwu seemed deeply shocked and finally couldn't help but say, "They actually broke the two-second barrier for the 100-meter dash!"
"That can't be, right?"
He was surrounded by upperclassmen who were far more knowledgeable than the freshmen who were just watching the spectacle, but upon hearing this, they all showed expressions of disbelief.
According to textbooks, the theoretical limit for a high-level martial artist is an explosive force of 9999 kg and an instantaneous speed of 100 meters per second.
But note... this is theory!
What is theory?
That is, under the most ideal conditions.
But in reality, more than 99% of people don't even meet this standard.
Many people actually start to fall behind from the very beginning of their martial arts journey.
The theoretical limit for a beginner martial artist is 999 kg of explosive power, but this actually represents physical strength exceeding 999 kg.
Generally, a martial artist at the peak of the initial martial arts stage is considered excellent if they can unleash a power exceeding 900 kg.
Only those martial artists who have attained enlightenment can relatively easily reach or even surpass this standard.
Extending this line of thought upwards, at the advanced martial arts level, those who can truly achieve the theoretical limit are extremely rare.
And all martial artists know that breakthroughs in speed are far more difficult than breakthroughs in strength.
Especially the two-second time for 100 meters, that is the first shackle imposed on human martial artists by the laws of physics.
Even a genius like Zhao Keyi, who deliberately focused his training on speed, was unable to break through that barrier for a long time.
"Mountains and seas can be broken."
This is the awareness of most highly skilled martial artists.
Countless powerful beings from the mountains and seas gradually brought their physical bodies to the theoretical limit during the process of seeking the Dao, and finally broke through in one fell swoop.
To put it another way, running 100 meters in one second is something that only someone with the ability to travel halfway through a journey can hope to achieve.
At the pure high-level martial artist stage, this is incredible.
"I'm almost at the sixth level of the advanced martial arts realm, and my speed has been stuck at around 2 seconds for a long time. Even I can hardly see their movements. What do you guys think?"
Seeing that the others did not believe him, the senior martial artist who spoke first unleashed his aura and sneered.
Everyone fell silent, their faces showing shock.
"What kind of prodigy is someone who doesn't get it..."
Boom!
Bang!
When a sigh was heard from someone, the storm that had been raging on the field, fueled by fists and kicks, finally came to a brief respite.
On the chaotic bluestone square, the two people separated by the impact of the final blow landed on the ground, their limbs trembling slightly, panting heavily.
Upon closer inspection, the two men's bodies were covered in burn marks, revealing even the faint outlines of their muscular physiques.
"This is due to the overheating caused by the rapid circulation of vital energy in the body... Brilliant, truly brilliant. I've only ever seen this in online videos before."
Soon, an "all-knowing scholar" provided a popular science explanation, looking quite moved.
Shen Qian and Wang Shuo stared at each other in silence, while Shen Qian, like Wang Shuo, silently moved his hands and feet, as if trying to relieve the pain in his body.
...He had to pretend before sinking.
He admitted that Wang Shuo was very, very strong, even stronger than he had expected.
