Lin Chen's attacks, though fierce, seemed to land on cotton.

Moreover, Lin Chen felt a tingling pain in his arms and body.

"Bang!" Shockingly, the collision resulted in Xu Ye standing unmoved while Lin Chen was the one sent stumbling back several steps.

"The Tai Chi Palm truly lives up to its reputation!"

Recently, a Chinese Sanda expert actually defeated a person known as a Tai Chi Grandmaster in just 20 seconds, causing Tai Chi to suddenly come under public criticism.

Suddenly, the internet and television were abuzz with rumors questioning whether Tai Chi was as authentic as its name suggested.

In reality, the current Tai Chi Palm being spread among the people is far from its essence, not even reaching the level of its basics.

However, the palm technique Xu Ye demonstrated almost perfectly embodied the essence of Tai Chi in controlling movement with stillness, overcoming the hard with the soft, the long with the short, and the fast with the slow.

"Purple Flame Golden Fire Palm!"

Unfazed by being repelled, Lin Chen's palm surged with Purple Flame Golden Fire, as streams of Spiritual Energy condensed into something akin to a Fireball, crashing towards Xu Ye.

Watching the approaching Fire Dragon, Xu Ye's face also showed a grave expression.

Xu Ye felt enveloped by golden-purple flames, a violent aura filling his surroundings.

"Such powerful Spiritual Energy of fire."

Gravitas appeared on Xu Ye's face as streams of Spiritual Energy flowed into the Tai Chi Diagram, which instantly condensed into a layer of brilliant golden light.

"Bang!"

Accompanied by a roar, the Fireball released by Lin Chen quickly dissolved upon nearing the Tai Chi Diagram.

"Such powerful defensive power!"

Looking at the Tai Chi Diagram, everyone let out a gasp of amazement.

Many people thought, if the boxer in the news had challenged Xu Ye, no matter how fast his punches were, he probably wouldn't be able to harm Xu Ye even if he hit him all day.

In the second round of the exchange, Lin Chen was once again pushed back by the reactionary force from the Tai Chi.

Xu Ye laughed loudly, "Brother Lin, I'm not so easy to defeat. If you don't show some real skill, it won't be easy to beat me."

So far, it had been Lin Chen attacking and Xu Ye defending. However, in the face of Lin Chen's tumultuous assault, Xu Ye remained calm and composed, not only blocking the attacks but also causing Lin Chen no small amount of trouble.

Lin Chen also smiled, "That was just a warm-up. Now, let's get serious."

"What, that level of attack was just a warm-up?"

Hearing Lin Chen's words, everyone was dumbfounded.

The fierce battle between the two men had already been seen as one of the most exciting contests since the beginning of the competition, yet it was apparently just an appetizer!

"Here I come!"

Lin Chen shouted, his palm surging with Spiritual Energy as a Fire Dragon coalesced before him and he once more lunged at Xu Ye.

Xu Ye's gaze focused, his body's Spiritual Energy swirling as ripples suddenly covered the entire Tai Chi Diagram.

"Lin Chen, my Tai Chi Diagram can transform all things, impenetrable to all forces. Your attacks are of no use against me," Xu Ye said, his palm technique changing as he began to counterattack.

Lin Chen continued launching attacks with his Purple Flame Golden Fire Palm, but as soon as the Purple Flame Golden Fire entered the Tai Chi range, its lethality drastically decreased.

Meanwhile, Xu Ye counterattacked with the Tai Chi Palm, using Lin Chen's own force against him.

In an instant.

Atop the arena, two figures intertwined like lightning, initially visible to the crowd, but quickly, they turned into twin whirlwinds.

The audience below was utterly astonished.

Lin Chen and Xu Ye's speed was so fast that even Xiao Jian and others watching the battle could only sigh at their inferiority.

Their speed was almost equal; Lin Chen's attacks were as fast as lightning, and his moves were mysterious and ever-changing. In contrast, Xu Ye centered his defense around Tai Chi, using the opponent's force against them, becoming almost invincible in defense.

For a time, the two combatants on the stage seemed evenly matched, locked in an indistinguishable battle.

The two figures were like dreams and phantoms, like light and shadow, moving and shifting in a way that dazzled the eyes.

Thankfully, the stage was made of special materials, otherwise, with their destructive power, the entire arena would have long been reduced to ruins.

Bai Ling watched the scene with a face full of pride.

No matter the outcome of the match, Lin Chen's physical exertion was enormous. Although Bai Ling had also expended a lot of effort in defeating Zhang Yu, it was negligible compared to Lin Chen's.

In three days, the final battle would take place, and this fight against Xu Ye would surely drain Lin Chen's energy, perhaps even causing him injury. At that point, Bai Ling would be able to take it easy and win with minimal effort.

However, Bai Ling's gaze suddenly sharpened; he noticed that something was off about Lin Chen's attacks.

Lin Chen was attacking like a madman, not sparing any effort.

Xu Ye became more alarmed as the fight progressed; Lin Chen's attacks were completely unstructured.

What baffled him most was that Lin Chen's head-on attacks were precisely what Tai Chi Palm techniques thrived on.

Lin Chen not only failed to gain any advantage but was also likely to suffer a severe loss.

"Lin Chen is extremely clever, he shouldn't be making such an elementary mistake!"

At this moment, Lin Chen's clothes had been nearly reduced to strips by Xu Ye's hidden Inner Strength, making him look very disheveled.

But Lin Chen remained unconcerned, maintaining his style of enduring and escalating attacks, tirelessly pressing an aggressive assault on Xu Ye.

Despite being hit multiple times by Xu Ye's concealed Inner Strength, Lin Chen didn't care, and what was more frustrating for Xu Ye was that Lin Chen, like a relentless killing machine, didn't seem to tire at all from his non-stop attacks.

"I have no great grudge against Lin Chen. Why is he fighting so desperately? Could it be that he has discovered my identity?"

At this moment, Zhao Xiaohua's gaze narrowed slightly, but a faint smile appeared on her face.

"So this guy's playing that kind of game."

Lin Chen's seemingly reckless fighting style shocked everyone watching.

Many even thought that the two must have deep hatred to attack each other with such desperation.

Xu Ye took it easy, continually using the opponent's force against them to inflict damage on Lin Chen.

If it weren't for Lin Chen's astonishing defensive power, he would have already suffered severe injuries and lost.

Bai Ling watched the situation with both shock and joy, thinking that he might not even need to take action, as Lin Chen could be directly eliminated by Xu Ye.

As Lin Chen's attacks grew stronger and faster, Xu Ye also started to feel the pressure.

But Xu Ye was not in a hurry; the more desperate Lin Chen's style of fighting, the greater his energy consumption, and Xu Ye was convinced that victory would be his in the end.

Lin Chen kept attacking, while Xu Ye defended.

The longer it dragged on, the more advantageous it was for Xu Ye. A cold smile appeared at the corner of Xu Ye's mouth, "Since that's the case, I might as well eliminate you from the competition now and save myself future trouble."

On the stage, Xu Ye constantly shifted his stance, executing Tai Chi Palm techniques and counterattacking Lin Chen with his Inner Strength from time to time.

As Lin Chen fought more ferociously and ramped up the speed of his attacks, Xu Ye's face suddenly changed dramatically because he noticed something odd about the fluctuation of Spiritual Energy in Lin Chen!
