Chapter 70: True Feelings

At this moment, Shi Ji was like a hidden dragon finally revealing its power. His initial strike had successfully pushed back Chi Yang, something no one except Lin Xinyan had expected.

“Chi Yang! What are you doing? Don’t hold back,” someone from Class A shouted.

Everyone in Class A believed that Chi Yang was going easy on Shi Ji.

Embarrassed by his initial setback, Chi Yang scowled and glared at Shi Ji. 

“Kid, you’ve got some nerve. But now, I’m getting serious. Prepare yourself.”

With a shout, Chi Yang stomped the ground and leaped into the air, aiming a flying kick at Shi Ji. 

Facing such an attack, only a fool would take it head-on. Shi Ji was no fool. But such an attack didn’t even catch his interest.

Shi Ji remained still, watching as Chi Yang’s kick came toward him.

In just two seconds, the two clashed again. Chi Yang descended from above, stomping fiercely at Shi Ji.

Shi Ji threw a punch, perfectly intercepting the kick.

Boom!

The collision generated a wave of air, a testament to their strength, though it was faint. It seemed as if Chi Yang’s attack lacked power.

This was an illusion. Given Shi Ji’s Soldier Star rank, combined with his subtle control over his power, Shi Ji didn’t even budge. It gave the impression that Chi Yang was holding back.

“Chi Yang! What’s going on with you?”

“Stop messing around and get serious!”

The arena echoed with Class A’s noisy dissatisfaction with Chi Yang’s performance.

Only Chi Yang himself knew how much strength he had put into that kick. Was Shi Ji’s strength… 

‘No! It couldn’t be! He must be overthinking it!’

Chi Yang’s assault didn’t end there. As he retracted his leg, he launched another attack with his other leg. His legs moved rapidly, continuously striking at Shi Ji.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The continuous collisions produced sharp, resounding noises, carrying an air of ferocity.

Chi Yang’s attack speed was incredibly fast, almost too quick to see with the naked eye. However, the sound indicated effectiveness rather than…

“What!” Chi Yang gasped in shock.

Despite his rapid, relentless kicks, Shi Ji blocked every single one with his fists.

“Damn it!”

Chi Yang flipped and landed on the ground, immediately stomping forward again, charging at Shi Ji who was just a few meters away.

His fists swung powerfully toward Shi Ji.

“Wave Fist!”

Chi Yang knew his own strength well. He had always taken pride in it within the academy. Yet now, facing a Soldier Star, his power was being questioned.

Could he really lose to this newcomer? 

No… No… No!

With all his might, Chi Yang unleashed his most powerful move.

In these hero academies, only a small fraction of students received permission to become heroes. The main reason was that many so-called star constitution students overestimated their strength, even at the Star Hero Academy.

“Kid! You’re still far from it! Keep trying.”

Facing Chi Yang’s attack, Shi Ji maintained his composure. His fists moved even faster, just a bit quicker than Chi Yang’s, but not by much.

He was just an ordinary student, there was no need to go all out.
