Chapter 329: Divine Finger Art lv4

Bai Cangshu unleashed a Rakshasa Palm with explosive force, yet Tao Baibai instantly lowered his body, his movements so concise and sharp that not a single muscle on his body moved unnecessarily.

Bai Cangshu's pupils trembled; the 【Transparent World】 allowed him to see the opponent's muscular movements with perfect clarity.

He even felt that when such powerful Martial Artists fought, the movement of their muscles and bones was filled with aesthetic beauty; the muscles on Bai Cangshu's arms swelled instantly as he utilized the 【Perfect Individual】's physical control ability to alter his muscle ratio in a split second.

His palm stance sank instantly, and Tao Baibai was suddenly startled; the braid he had whipped up while crouching suddenly coiled around Bai Cangshu's neck, and he pulled with force.

Bang, boom!

The Training Institute, which had been adjusted to a volcanic terrain, suddenly sank; Bai Cangshu's terrifying spiral force penetrated completely into the volcanic rock.

Following that, he was sent flying by a thunderous knee strike.

Flames ignited on Tao Baibai's body, but he merely let out an angry shout, and his intense Qi extinguished the flames on his body, leaving only a few charred black marks behind.

Bai Cangshu crawled out from the volcanic crater, the cracked facial bone on his face already healed, leaving only a trace of blood; he licked it with his tongue, and that scent of blood caused his body to swell rapidly.

Unlike what he had felt in the Dragon Ball World, at that time Tao Baibai had not considered him an opponent at all, regarding him at best as a stranger and an unpromising disciple; he could only feel Tao Baibai's speed and the power of his Qi.

But the sparring partner replicated by the space at this moment had no intention of playing; it was fighting him entirely with lethal techniques.

It was rare for Bai Cangshu to be completely suppressed in a hand-to-hand combat battle.

Tao Baibai's physical capabilities could not be considered outstanding; if not for the augmentation of Qi, he would likely have just barely crossed the level of the First Extremity.

But the ability of 【Qi】, within the body of a Martial Artist like Tao Baibai, had its effects amplified infinitely, far exceeding the augmentation the lv7 Ripple Qigong gave to Bai Cangshu.

In speed, strength, and reaction ability, Tao Baibai did not lose to Bai Cangshu at all, and more crucially, his martial arts cultivation far exceeded Bai Cangshu's.

Even though he possessed 【First of the First】 and 【Transparent World】, Tao Baibai was still able to attack Bai Cangshu in ways that defied imagination.

It was just like two Go masters playing against each other; Bai Cangshu could see the moves ten steps ahead, yet Tao Baibai was even further beyond that, able to see the developments twenty steps ahead.

Therefore, in the battle, there would always be some "accidents," such as that braid that happened to whip up; this factor caused Bai Cangshu to be sent flying time and again.

Thump, thump, thump.

Bai Cangshu's heartbeat accelerated, the 【Thunder Emperor Heart】 began to operate at high load, and the lightning power accumulated within escaped from the surface of his body.

A flash of light appeared in Bai Cangshu's hand; the newly obtained 【God's Artificial Eye】 appeared, and he pressed it onto the center of his brow, where a slit instantly cracked open, as if that spot had been hiding an eye all along.

As the God's Artificial Eye entered his body, Bai Cangshu felt the miraculous vision; as his Spirit was slightly burdened, the God's Artificial Eye activated.

Tao Baibai's hands hung behind his back, and he darted over like a bolt of electricity; that extreme speed could also be seen quite clearly.

Bai Cangshu suddenly lowered his body as well, and a powerful whip kick swept over his head; a crashing sound of air being shattered came from the air, as the number of muscles and bones in Bai Cangshu's body far exceeded that of an ordinary person.

But he was forcibly changing his muscle and bone ratio according to the method of Shen Wulong's 【Logic】, and following the way Tao Baibai had operated previously.

In an instant, his crouching movement was silent, and his speed was about 30% faster than usual; Bai Cangshu took a diagonal step, and electric light flashed in his left palm.

Following the movement of opening up the distance, his left hand lashed out, and a lightning whip struck directly onto the back of Tao Baibai, who was about to turn and strike.

【Eight-Span Whip】!

The abilities of the Eight Warriors were also being unleashed with increasing ease under the augmentation of the Thunder Emperor Heart.

The Tao Baibai replicated by the space had no emotions, and his 【Qi】 would not be exhausted; therefore, this strike did not cause him any serious injury, merely tearing the back of that pink robe and leaving a mark on his body surface.

Bai Cangshu's movements and choices were becoming increasingly similar to Tao Baibai's; he could feel that he was making progress once again.

He exhaled and shouted, directly activating the Instant.

His figure vanished in an instant, and Tao Baibai, unable to react in time, was hit as if by a train.

Bang!

A white shockwave expanded, and Tao Baibai flew backward; Bai Cangshu's figure did not pause, he raised his right hand in mid-air, and the golden Qi finished condensing in an instant.

Dodon Ray!

Boom!

As if struck directly by a missile, Tao Baibai exploded into a massive flash of fire in mid-air.

Bai Cangshu took another step forward, his figure turning into wind; he realized that under his full-power exertion now, without special ability restrictions, his actual combat power was already extremely high.

He could almost fight on equal terms with a figure like Tao Baibai, who could likely reach the 【Fierce】 tier.

Ring!

A Qi Gong Wave tore through the air, instantly piercing Bai Cangshu's chest; Tao Baibai, amidst the smoke, landed with his upper body bare, the light of the Dodon Ray still lingering on his fingertip.

That Dodon Ray was far sharper than the one Bai Cangshu had unleashed.

When the golden Qi pierced through his body, it was as scorching as a laser.

Bai Cangshu felt the strange sensation of his heart being shattered, and he raised his left hand again, condensing a Dodon Ray.

Tao Baibai also stood where he was, his index finger tapping repeatedly; the golden Qi Gong Waves scattered like raindrops, shooting over in various arcs.

Bai Cangshu's three eyes were fully open, taking in Tao Baibai's every movement.

The Qi intensely condensed at his fingertip rubbed violently against the air, the scorching heat even causing blue smoke to appear at his fingertip; Bai Cangshu's understanding of the Dodon Ray was still very shallow, he only knew that by condensing more Qi, the destructive power would be greater!

Boom!

Like a massive laser, it tore through the air; an unprecedentedly intense Dodon Ray erupted in an instant, and at the moment Bai Cangshu was hit by dozens of Dodon Rays, Tao Baibai was also struck by this blast, which was so thick it didn't look like a Dodon Ray at all.

【Your mastery of the ability Divine Finger Art has progressed further, currently: lv4】

【Divine Finger Art (a+) lv4: Condense excessive Qi at the fingertip to unleash a destructive strike; the power is positively correlated with the intensity of the Qi and gains a massive boost】

【Energy +2, currently:?】

【b: Condensed as One: When Divine Finger Art condenses energy to erupt, gain an additional 100% boost, the range is narrowed to the extreme, consume more energy, and penetration is significantly enhanced】

"Choose b"

The broken Dragon Scale on Bai Cangshu's body surface was healing, and the holes in his body were gradually disappearing; the High-speed Regeneration bloodline ability, combined with the Training Institute's setting of not dying, allowed him to grow rapidly regardless of the cost and to recklessly approach death.

Bai Cangshu savored the pressure of those dozens of Dodon Rays piercing through his body, his breathing becoming increasingly long and steady, and his body had already swollen to nearly four meters.

He could feel that his physical body had already expanded to its limit, his cellular activity was fully stimulated, and just like the Dodon Ray, from here on out, it should not be continued unlimited expansion, but rather condensation.

He stood in place, watching the sky full of Dodon Ray flying toward him, opened his arms, and calmly let himself be submerged by the attack; he wanted to find that special state of Talent Manifestation before the next world.

According to past experience, the interval between missions is about 7-10 days, and the next mission will begin very soon, while the hint given by the Goddess is that the next mission's difficulty is extremely high and the danger is immense.

Bai Cangshu savored that powerful state of "understanding everything" while fighting the Black King; he wanted to let himself die repeatedly, searching within death for the talent truly hidden beneath his kind of "madness"!

Pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft...

Tao Baibai had no emotions, merely using countless Dodon Ray to tear apart the body of the person before him.

The next moment, Tao Baibai flashed and appeared before Bai Cangshu, his hands appearing to vanish as he poked over a dozen bloody holes into Bai Cangshu's body in an instant.

"Not enough, still not enough..."

Bai Cangshu's hands danced wildly; the extreme speed of Gaojie Chana allowed him to also strike Tao Baibai's body surface with his hands in an instant, as he felt the special sensation of Qi adhering beneath his flesh.

Tao Baibai suddenly wrapped his long braid around Bai Cangshu's head, stepped on Bai Cangshu's shoulders with both feet, pressed his palms together, and concentrated intense Qi entirely at his fingertips.

Ring!
