Chapter 174: Your martial way… is too gentle!

Ten or so minutes later.

She repeated the ancient and clumsy starting posture of Awakening of Insects over and over, finally stopping.

She eased her posture, her clear eyes filled with a hint of bewilderment as she looked toward Su Ming.

Wang……seems to have been watching her all along?

In an instant, her blood surged uncontrollably throughout her body, growing ever hotter!

"Wang?"

Not far away, Mengdie and the others who were resting also noticed the commotion here.

They cast curious glances!

Su Ming ignored the others, strode forward, and headed straight for Jingzhe.

One step, two steps.

He stopped in front of the girl, the distance between them no more than three meters.

"Do you want to get stronger?"

Jingzhe froze for a second, then nodded vigorously like a chick pecking at grain.

"I want to!"

"Good."

Su Ming's lips curled up, his smile teasing.

He extended a finger and lightly hooked it toward Jingzhe.

"Come."

"Let's practice some moves."

Boom!

One sentence, and the entire hall fell silent in an instant.

Every girl's face was filled with disbelief.

"Practice… practice with Wang?"

"What a joke!"

"Who is that?"

"That's Jing!"

"He's the man who's been cut off worldwide!"

"He's the man who, with a mortal body, bears the souls of Han heroes, and with a single slash, defies the gods!"

Jingzhe, although she is the strongest among them……

"But what's the difference between this and voluntarily applying for reincarnation?"

Jingzhe herself was dazed, her mind going blank.

"Me?"

"Fight Jing?!"

"Ah?!"

She even wondered if she was hallucinating from overtraining.

However, after just two seconds of astonishment.

Zeal, like a prairie fire, instantly ignited from the depths of her heart!

Her breathing began to grow ragged.

"Clash with Jing!"

"She longs for it!"

"Even if just a single move!"

This thought, cheering and trembling!

"I..."

Jingzhe's voice trembled.

"I... I want to give it a try!"

……

Five minutes later.

The center of the hall was cleared, and the other members of the Qiang Wei Squad retreated far away, forming a circle.

Their expressions were tense yet expectant.

By the railing on the second floor, three figures also came upon hearing the sound.

Pang Tong stroked his chin, his Phoenix Eyes glinting.

Fa Zheng wore an expression of utter indifference.

Only Jiang Wan, gazing at the pristine blue‑stone floor downstairs, furrowed her brows, worried.

"If this gets broken, repairing it will probably cost a fortune, right?"

In the arena, Su Ming and Jingzhe stood facing each other.

"Give it your all."

Su Ming had his hands in his pockets, his tone flat.

"Yes!"

Jingzhe drew a deep breath, and that profound, mysterious aura surged upward!

The next moment, she moved!

"Whoosh!"

Underfoot the blue stone floor exploded with a bang, his whole body like a bow pulled to the limit, he shot out!

No fancy moves, just the simplest, most direct charging punch!

Before the fist arrives, the fierce fist wind already sweeps over, making cheeks sting!

This punch can blast through a reinforced concrete wall!

However, facing this earth-shattering strike.

Su Ming merely... shifted his body slightly.

That punch capable of splitting stone and cracking rock just brushed past his clothing edge.

Too slow!

Jing Zhe's pupil constricted, waist exerted force.

A whip-like leg as fast as lightning swept out, bringing a sonic boom.

Su Ming however seemed to have eyes in the back, not retreating but advancing, lowered his body a step.

The whip leg missed again!

For a moment...

In the arena only Jing Zhe's storm-like assault remained.

And Su Ming's leisurely stroll in the courtyard!

Fast!

Too fast!

The watching women only saw afterimages crisscrossing in the arena.

Jing Zhe's each attack is mighty and heavy, threat extremely strong!

But the king...

Just like taking a walk in his own backyard, not even taking his hands out of his pockets!

"Huh!"

Jing Zhe's breathing grew more ragged, hair tips damp.

She felt...

No matter how she attacked, it felt like hitting a cotton ball.

Strength with nowhere to exert.

Frustrated to the point of wanting to vomit blood!

The opponent seemed able to foresee all her moves in advance!

"Too slow."

Finally, Su Ming's indifferent voice sounded.

He shook his head, the disappointment in his tone not concealed.

"Just this?"

"After training so many days, are you just tickling?!"

"Boom!"

Jing Zhe's brain qi and blood surged, somewhat embarrassing.

"Your fist lacks killing intent."

Su Ming's icy voice continued, giving no face.

"Each of your attacks unconsciously avoids my vital points."

"You are afraid."

"You are afraid of hurting me."

He snorted with laughter, face full of mockery.

"Are you playing house with your king...?"

"How do you think you could hurt me? You're not worthy!"

"Words, like knives!"

Jing Zhe's face turned pale, mind and spirit greatly shaken.

But the next moment, shame and unwillingness completely overwhelmed all distracting thoughts.

"Roar!"

The woman let out a low roar, eyes instantly turned crimson!

The black qi on her body exploded!

Speed and power, increased by more than a notch compared to before!

She completely abandoned all defenses, betting everything on offense!

But...

Still useless!

No matter how violent her attacks.

Su Ming always could dodge with minimal cost, at an unimaginable angle, easily and leisurely.

"Not enough."

Su Ming shook his head again, the disappointment in his eyes deeper.

"Still not enough."

"Since you dare not unleash a killing blow on me..."

Su Ming paused.

The right hand in his pants pocket finally slowly withdrew.

"Then let me tell you…"

"What, that's called battle! That's carnage!"

Buzz—!

Before the words even fell.

Five-colored brilliant light suddenly flared in his hand!

That was a sword!

A long sword radiating five-colored brilliant light from head to toe!

The moment the blade appeared, a terrifying aura instantly enveloped the entire hall!

All the girls present, including Meng Die, felt a sudden suffocation!

What quality of weapon is this?!

It's actually colored!

"Your martial way is too gentle."

Su Ming wielded the Pinduoduo War Blade, offering no explanation.

"Gentleness gets people killed."

Next second.

He moved.

Without the slightest sign, his five-colored war blade sliced through the air, straight for Jing Zhe's neck, and he struck down!

"Ah—!"

The spectators, including Meng Die, all let out a terrified scream!

King……

Is he going to kill Jing Zhe?!

The blade's light rapidly enlarged in Jing Zhe's pupils!

The shadow of death completely engulfed her!

It was the first time she felt this way!

She couldn't dodge it!

This blade cut off all her retreat!

She, is she going to die?

"No!"

"I don't want to die!"

"I still want… to become stronger!"

"I shouldn't die here!"

At the brink of life and death, Jing Zhe's mind surged with boundless battle intent!

Time stood still.

The dormant 009 Sequence Origin within her seemed to sense the provocation and murderous intent…

Awaken!

Buzz—!

In Su Ming's Eye of Truth, he saw it clearly!

The surging black aura around Jing Zhe was completely sucked back into her body in an instant!

All rivers return to the sea, fully merging into her limbs and bones!

Swish!

The blade cut nothing.

Vanish Into Thin Air?

No!

It's speed!

Speed has reached its extreme!

Su Ming slowly sheathed his blade, finally revealing a satisfied smile on his face.

He turned around.

Jing Zhe appeared three meters away, panting heavily.

But on that pretty face, there was no trace of the previous fear and timidity.

Only……

Battle intent!

He will surely tear all obstacles into pieces!

Even if……

He is the King!
