Chapter 535: Advancement! Top 32!

Boom boom boom!......

On the arena, the sound of weapons colliding was deafening.

Xu Jingming and Dulang, one gold and one black, two phantoms, collided incessantly.

In terms of physical strength, Dulang was slightly better, but no matter how he attacked.

Xu Jingming could resolve it as easily as the ocean, and launch a counterattack.

"In terms of Awakened power, I am an Enhancement-type S-rank Awakened!"

"In terms of level, I am a Rank 6 Lower-level Awakened!"

"In terms of Body Tempering Art, I practice an SS-rank Body Tempering Art!"

"Awakened power, level, Body Tempering Art, I am not inferior in any aspect; how can I be unable to suppress Xu Jingming in close-quarters combat?"

Dulang let out a silent roar in his heart, the scarlet in his eyes becoming more violent.

His teacher Boge was defeated by Su Su Qingli because of the natural disadvantage of martial artists facing elementalists.

Yet Xu Jingming was actually fighting him to a draw in close-quarters combat.

For him, this was undoubtedly a humiliation!

He would rather Xu Jingming defeat him using elementalist methods than endure such humiliation!

"High physical strength doesn't mean you will definitely win."

Xu Jingming, surrounded by brilliant golden lightning, said in a deep voice, his spear not stopping for a moment.

The powerful proficiency granted to him by his Grandmaster-level spear technique was enough to resist the physical gap brought by Dulang being an Enhancement-type Awakened.

In addition,

His Doutian Divine Thunder, although unable to kill Dulang like it could a normal Rank 6 Awakened.

But this lightning was also eroding Dulang's body at every moment.

Given time, no matter how strong Dulang's physique was, he would also be affected and eventually lose.

Dulang clearly understood this point as well, and his attacks became more violent.

Bang!

After another strike, Dulang stood still in the distance, spitting out a few words with a gloomy face:

"Grandmaster-level spear technique!"

"Although your strength is a bit lacking, your eye for detail is not bad." Xu Jingming's indifferent voice rang out.

"Xu Jingming, your talent is truly terrifying. If I let you grow for another year, I would definitely not be your opponent."

After taking a deep breath, Dulang's face became even more ferocious:

"But it's a pity, in this year's Genius Tournament, you won't have that chance. Go to the resurrection tournament! Mountain-Suppressing Staff!"

Bang!!

Dulang exerted force under his feet, shooting out like a cannonball!

His entire aura was condensed on the alloy long staff in his hand, and while still in mid-air, he swung the staff!

The long staff carried terrifying energy fluctuations; the entire space seemed to tremble because of this strike!

Mountain-Suppressing Staff!

An attack-type SS-rank combat technique; when used, all the body's blood and physical strength are gathered into the long staff in the hand!

One strike is enough to erupt with incomparably terrifying lethality.

Dulang clearly understood that if he continued to fight like this, he would definitely be the one to lose, which is why he used his final trump card!

"SS-rank combat technique? But it's a pity, you've already been seen through by me."

Xu Jingming's tall figure swayed slightly, and under the powerful perception of the Heart Net, he dodged this strike almost by brushing against the staff shadow!

Taking advantage of the fact that Du Lang had just finished using a powerful combat technique and his Qi and blood were weak.

At the moment his reaction speed decreased, the spear in his hand blasted out like a golden flood dragon!

"Thunder-Piercing Demon-Killing Spear!"

Dulang practiced an SS-rank Body Tempering Art and had activated the amplified form of the Body Tempering Art.

Coupled with his S-rank Enhancement-type Awakened power, his body strength was comparable to B-rank alloy!

However, under the bombardment of this spear, it was as fragile as a piece of paper!

Crackle—

Lightning that pierced the sky lit up, and half of Dulang's body disappeared under this spear!

The terrifying shockwave hit the energy protective shield at the edge of the arena, causing it to shake violently!

"I... I lost?"

Although he had lost half his body, Dulang, who still had his head, was not yet dead.

Instead, his entire face was filled with an expression of incredible shock.

"That's right, you lost."

Swish—

The spear blasted out again, piercing his head with one strike!

Bang!

Dulang's broken body fell to the ground, and the beautiful commentator's voice sounded at the right time.

"In this match, Daxia's Xu Jingming wins! Congratulations to him for successfully advancing to the Top 32!"

As the words fell, the entire auditorium immediately erupted into cheers and shouts!

"Won! Thunder Emperor won!"

"Close-quarters combat comparable to a Rank 6 S-rank Enhancement-type Awakened! Thunder Emperor is an all-around player!"

"Too strong! Who else can stop the Thunder Emperor?!"

"......"

In the arena, countless spectators supporting Xu Jingming fell into a frenzy.

They thought Xu Jingming would win, but they didn't expect him to win in such a way!

"Grandmaster-level spear technique, coupled with the Heart Net's powerful perception ability, Dulang didn't lose unjustly."

"Indeed, but all of this needs to be built on the foundation that his physique is not much weaker than Dulang's."

"Only 20 years old, not only is he extremely proficient in the long-range bombardment of an elementalist, but even his close-quarters combat as a martial artist is this strong; too monstrous."

"......"

In the VIP lounge, many powerhouses were also sighing in low voices.

Xu Jingming is truly too all-around.

Before this, they had never seen such a monstrous Awakened!

As Xu Jingming's teacher, Su Su Qingli also received envious gazes.

Having such a student is probably something all the powerhouses present want but cannot get.

As for Boge, who had previously made harsh threats, after Dulang's defeat.

He chose to go offline with a gloomy face, clearly his mentality had already collapsed somewhat.

The ninth round of the tournament ended, and Xu Jingming successfully became one of the 32 strongest in the Peak Tournament.

After saying a few words to Song Song Qiuyun, Jiang Jiang Chu Chu Xuan, and his aunt's family.

He exited the Genius Tournament arena and returned to his villa in the virtual world.

The noisy cheers in his ears disappeared instantly, replaced by a piece of tranquility.

"The ninth round of the tournament is over, I will get 5 days of rest."

"Taking advantage of this time, it's just right to go to the Senbai Canyon with Teacher Su."

"I'll contact Teacher Su now to see when we'll set off."

Xu Jingming pondered and opened the friend interface, sending an inquiry message to Teacher Su Su Qingli.

Just as he was about to close the friend interface, Eva's crisp voice suddenly sounded:

"S-rank, friend Yingmu Lin is requesting to teleport to you, do you accept the request?"

"Yingmu Lin?"

Xu Jingming also remembered what he had said to her during the match, so he nodded and said:

"Accept."

"Okay, S-rank."

As the words fell, only a hum was heard, and Yingmu Lin's slender figure was immediately teleported over.

Although she had mentally prepared herself beforehand, when Yingmu Lin saw Xu Jingming again.

A complex emotion inevitably appeared on her exquisite pretty face.

But this emotion quickly disappeared, and after a long sigh.

Yingmu Lin slowly knelt in front of Xu Jingming, her proud head, which had radiated endless glory in the Genius Tournament, almost touching the ground.

A crisp and pleasant voice rang out in the villa: "Master......"

Yingmu Lin was still wearing the tight combat suit from the Genius Tournament.

As she leaned down and knelt, her perky buttocks immediately outlined an alluring curve like a ripe peach.

If this alluring scene were exposed to the public eye, who knows what kind of sensation it would cause...... ===== CHAPTER 536 =====
