Chapter 464

In the virtual battlefield.

A bare-handed figure sprinted ahead, while behind, someone wielding twin swords chased frantically.

Anyone could see that the latter's speed was faster than the former's, at least 30% faster; catching up would be easy.

However, a constant ding-ding-dang sound rang in the air; looking closely, it was three Steel Needles, attacking without pause, causing the pursuer behind to slow a step.

Even so, the latter could occasionally catch up, and upon catching up, would deliver two swift sword strikes.

And each time this happened, a Golden Bell would appear on the surface of the front person's body, blocking the attack.

After a while, Jiang Cheng felt his Spiritual Power in his mind about to run out, and he quickly shouted, "I surrender!"

As soon as the word 'surrender' left his mouth, the Big Chief chasing behind stopped instantly, and the figure gradually dissipated in the air.

"Huff, huff..."

Jiang Cheng panted heavily.

He also learned from Qin Lao that during Virtual Combat, if he couldn't win and didn't want to experience the pain of death, he could simply surrender.

Next, he looked at the Panel, a smile appearing on his face.

After two or three days of arduous practice, the proficiency of his Psychic Weapon finally reached Mastery Level.

Because it is a fourth-rank intermediate Psychic Weapon, its difficulty far exceeds that of the A-level Psychic Weapon used by a Ten-level Spirit Thought Master; thus, although it is Mastery, the proficiency of these three Steel Needles in his hand should be Great Completion, even Perfect Realm.

"This time, there should be hope of victory, right?"

Jiang Cheng thought to himself.

As long as he defeats the Big Chief, he can obtain the clearance reward.

He challenged again.

Still taking advantage of the countdown time, Jiang Cheng ran far to one side; after the countdown ended, the three Steel Needles immediately flew toward the opponent.

The Big Chief's gaze was no longer as fierce as before, but rather carried a solemn hue, as if sensing that the enemy before him had grown much stronger.

"Clang clang! Clang clang!"

Metallic clangs rang continuously in the air.

The Big Chief blocked with twin swords while quickly closing in.

Jiang Cheng wasn't stupid either; he retreated while continuing to attack with his Psychic Weapon, and on several occasions, the Psychic Weapon sliced the Big Chief's skin.

The latter, despite having an advantage in movement technique, could not get close.

"This is the advantage of long reach."

Jiang Cheng silently thought.

But soon he realized something was wrong: although the Big Chief couldn't get close, Jiang Cheng also couldn't kill the Big Chief with his Psychic Weapon, after all, the latter's swordsmanship and movement technique were at the Perfect Realm level.

The reason the opponent got nicked was merely because Jiang Cheng wanted to close the distance; if he didn't do that and just defended in place, not even a scratch on the opponent would be possible.

But Jiang Cheng felt his Spiritual Power draining rapidly! In other words, once his Spiritual Power was exhausted, that would be the moment the Big Chief rushed in and killed him.

Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng felt helpless.

At the moment his Spiritual Power was about to run out, he again chose to surrender.

"As things stand, defeating the Big Chief is still quite difficult."

Jiang Cheng let out a light sigh.

Compared to Force Warriors, Spiritual Thought Masters have a considerable advantage: they can kill the opponent first while the opponent cannot touch them.

However, from a consumption standpoint, the attacker inherently expends more than the defender, let alone when using several Psychic Weapons.

"But this counts as progress."

Jiang Cheng comforted himself in his heart.

After all, compared to before, he had been constantly chased; just now being able to force the Big Chief into a defensive stance was also progress.

If the proficiency of his Psychic Weapon were to increase by one level, reaching Great Completion and the Perfect Realm, his chances of victory would be even greater.

At that point, he could superimpose the three Psychic Weapons together to unleash an attack three times as strong as the strongest strike of a Ten-level Force Warrior; even if the Big Chief's swordsmanship were deadly, facing such an absolute power gap, it would be useless.

"Besides that, my movement technique is also a weakness."

Don't look at the fact that he and the Big Chief are both Ten-level Force Warriors.

In fact, the physical differences between them are not significant.

However, the Big Chief's movement technique is at the Perfect Realm, allowing the Big Chief to exert 120%, 130%, even 110% of full strength, which can decide the outcome of a battle.

Fortunately, this gap will soon be made up.

Because a couple of days ago, he purchased an Earth Martial art.

This Earth Martial art opens the leg Acupoints, enabling one to cultivate from a Level One Force Warrior up to Level 10.

This work was compiled and uploaded by 69 Book Bar~~

For him now, it's rather useless, since he's already a Level One Grandmaster, but it's quite useful in the Virtual Combat where the strength limit is Ten-level Force Warriors.

After all, he doesn't need to specially clear those Acupoints; he just needs to improve the proficiency of the corresponding movement technique in battle.

Moreover, this Earth Martial art is cheap, costing only a few dozen Contribution Points.

After a brief rest, Jiang Cheng began the challenge again.

In the blink of an eye, another two or three days passed.

During these days of battle, Jiang Cheng's movement technique had already reached the Perfect Realm, his use of the Psychic Weapon had also broken through to the Great Completion Realm, and of course, the proficiency with the corresponding A-level Psychic Weapon was already solidly at the Perfect Realm level.

On the battlefield, Jiang Cheng and the Big Chief stood opposite each other.

This time, he did not retreat dozens of meters away, but instead waited quietly for the countdown to end.

As soon as it ended, the Big Chief appeared before Jiang Cheng as if by teleportation, and directly thrust a sword at his chest.

However, his speed was not slow either; almost simultaneously, he appeared more than ten meters away, and at the same time, the three Steel Needles shot from three different directions toward the Big Chief's throat, so fast that even the Big Chief's eyes showed astonishment.

After all, she had just thrust a sword, although she held back, but Jiang Cheng chose to strike at this moment, which could be said to be just right.

Dodge cannot be avoided.

In the next second, a Golden Bell appeared on her body surface.

Golden Bell Shield?

Not far away, Jiang Cheng saw this scene, his pupils constricted slightly.

It wasn't too surprising.

Clang!

A collision sound rang out.

The Big Chief's sword blocked only one Steel Needle; the other two struck the same spot.

The first Steel Needle happened to be blocked by the Golden Bell; the second struck the tail of the first, and with that leverage, the first Steel Needle directly pierced through the Big Chief's throat.

Just as Jiang Cheng was about to control another Steel Needle, intending to continue the finishing blow, the Elder's figure dissipated into the air.

At the same time, a woman's voice, different from before, sounded in his mind.

Not bad, kid.

Is it the Big Chief?

Jiang Cheng carefully distinguished for a moment, then immediately recognized it as the Big Chief's voice.

However, in Challenge Mode, it seems no dialogue function was added, so the voice in his mind did not answer his question. (End of chapter)
