Zhao Jianhua's expectant gaze made it difficult for Chen Wu to respond.
Previously, he did not have a clear grasp on Shi Feng's actual strength. He had merely felt that it was possible for Shi Feng to have already reached _that_ realm. However, now that he had actually witnessed Shi Feng in action, shock was the only word that could describe his current state.
Chen Wu had not dared to imagine that a young man in his early twenties could already attain such a high understanding of martial arts.
If Shi Feng's understanding of martial arts had merely achieved perfection, Chen Wu could still attribute it to him being a genius. Yet, when Shi Feng executed his moves, his actions were like nature itself, alive and full of spirit. Such actions were impossible with theoretical understanding alone. One needed to experience extensive combat, and also undergo countless life-or-death experiences in order to attain such a level.
Even Chen Wu himself had only recently reached such a level, and he was already 45 years old this year. Ever since he started practicing martial arts at the age of 16, he had participated in hundreds of battles, both large and small. He had even entered actual battlefields before. He could only achieve such a level today after undergoing the baptism of these fields of blood.
Chen Wu found it hard to believe that Shi Feng would possess so much hands-on experience. Even if he started participating in life-or-death battles in his mother's womb, it was impossible for him to achieve such a degree of perfection in only 20 years or so.
"As he isn't limiting himself to a single style of combat, I can't make a good judgment. In Jin Hai City, however, there probably isn't another youth like him who has cultivated his martial arts to such a level." Chen Wu sighed, a soft chuckle escaping his mouth.
"It can't be, right? Master Chen Wu, aren't you appraising him too highly?" Zhao Jianhua was shocked by Chen Wu's words.
"No, my evaluation is not high at all. Although Shi Feng's physique is on the weak side, in terms of actual combat strength, he would have no problem entering the top ten of the provincial fighting tournament." Chen Wu shook his head, refuting Zhao Jianhua's words.
Chen Wu's words instantly shocked Xu Wenqing and Zhao Jianhua.
Although the champion fighter of Jin Hai City could be considered a top-tier expert, on the provincial level, he would not amount to much. After all, there were tens of cities within a single province. Not to mention the top ten, even entering the top thirty in a provincial fighting tournament would be a difficult challenge.
Yet, a martial arts master like Chen Wu was confident that Shi Feng could make it to the top ten. The listeners could not help but raise their evaluation of Shi Feng.
In the past, Chen Wu had personally entered the top three in a provincial tournament, so he had a very good grasp on the standards of the fighters at that level. If Chen Wu said so, then Shi Feng did indeed possess the strength to enter the top ten of the province.
There were hundreds of millions of people within the province, and the number of fighters participating in the tournament was in the hundreds of thousands. If Shi Feng was capable of entering the top ten out of so many participants, then his value would far exceed even that of the champion fighter of Jin Hai City.
In regard to a combat genius like Zhang Luowei, Zhao Jianhua and the others only treated him as one of the younger generation. Although they looked favorably on him, it was not to the degree of placing actual importance on him. In Shi Feng's case, however, not only was it necessary for them to consider him someone of consequence, they also had to treat him as an equal when dealing with him.
