125. Chapter 125: Challenge Match (Seeking Monthly Votes)

*Snap! Snap! *

Above the city ruins.

Two figures constantly crossed.

Fang Xing's hands were like butterflies, suddenly extending to clamp an armor-piercing bullet.

*Bang! Bang! *

The remaining bullets landed on him, actually making a sound like rain hitting banana leaves, falling to the ground one after another.

"It seems your marksmanship is not good... you can't even manufacture blood-breaking bullets."

Fang Xing shook his head.

As a mecha pilot, Wu Lie's strength in the virtual space is subject to certain restrictions.

For example, these weapons need to be 'manufactured' one by one in the virtual space before they can be judged as equipable.

If it were in the outside world, this rank of mecha would definitely be equipped with various enchanted bullets, such as 'Blood-Breaking Bullet Heads', which are best at breaking through martial artist Qi and blood defenses.

Then he definitely wouldn't dare to perform this with his physical body, as it would be easy to be beaten into a sieve.

*Tap! *

Fang Xing stepped, the air seemed to solidify into solid earth, and he borrowed force to rush towards Wu Lie.

The gun barrel on Wu Lie's mechanical arm automatically fell off, and a layer of fist armor emerged: "Bullet Fist!"

This is a martial art specifically for mechas, unleashed by a mecha pilot, with astonishing power.

The fist shadows filling the sky were like bullets, smashing towards Fang Xing.

Fang Xing's eyes moved, the void around him fluctuated faintly, and a black dragon and a white tiger leaped out.

Dragon's roar and tiger's howl!

——Dragon-Tiger Domain!

Those countless fist shadows, after entering the domain, were actually as if frozen, their speed becoming incredibly slow.

"Magic-Breaking Force Field, neutralize!"

On Wu Lie's armor, a layer of eerie light flickered, erupting with a strange force field.

This is a component he had painstakingly studied for many years and finally successfully replicated in the virtual space, and it is also the trump card of mecha pilots against martial artist domains!

Once the Magic-Breaking Force Field appeared, Fang Xing felt his own Dragon-Tiger Domain being constantly weakened.

But he didn't hesitate at all, instead smiling, and swung a hand blade.

Ghost God Blade——Slaying Ghosts and Gods!

The terrifying martial will was like a surging wave, constantly penetrating the mecha and slapping Wu Lie's heart.

【Warning! Warning! Mental defense component damaged, damage degree 23%! 25%!...】

A string of bright red warnings appeared, making Wu Lie's face darken.

In the courses at Holy Armor University, the one he was most impatient with was the construction of mental defense components.

This was much harder than conceiving any weapon, especially for those without great martial arts talent.

'If it were in the outside world, the 'Dream Machine AG32' model I have installed on my mecha would definitely be able to defend against the spiritual will of a mere External Landscape martial artist...'

'But... here I can only use the old model I manufactured myself, this is truly fatal...'

Wu Lie heard the faint dragon's roar and tiger's howl in his ears, and the fist shadows filling the sky suddenly dissipated.

Then, a blade light landed on his mecha, causing the energy shield to activate instantly, and then wear down violently.

*Bang! *

Fang Xing's eyes flashed with gold, and with the blessing of the Great Jin Gang Prajna Divine Power, he shattered the energy shield with one punch, and without losing momentum, passed through Wu Lie's mask, and then his head...

*Boom! *

The wreckage of a headless mecha fell, exploding in mid-air...

Outside the battle arena.

Watching this scene, Gu Jiantong sighed faintly: "Face-slapping maniac, truly so... It seems I shouldn't compete with him next time."

Yin Huanzhen glanced at Gu Jiantong, unable to help but laugh: 'Is this confirming he will lose? But losing a martial arts match is one thing, losing so miserably is indeed a bit...'

Fang Xing was unaware of the chaos outside.

He was immersed in the battle arena, familiarizing himself with the power after reaching the External Landscape Realm.

The initial opponents were naturally some weaklings, solved with a casual punch or palm.

It wasn't until he broke into the top 10,000 that there was finally something to it.

"Hmm?"

Fang Xing opened his eyes and saw a brand-new enemy, unable to help but pause.

"Boss..."

Opposite, Song Jingang waved happily: "I heard Boss, you broke through to the External Landscape Realm and are frantically brushing the battle arena, so I went online immediately... I didn't expect it to take so long to get matched with you..."

"Hmm, you came just in time, let me test how strong the strongest defense of the Courage and Resolve Realm is."

Fang Xing nodded, grasped casually, and a dazzling blade light condensed in his hand, turning into a cyan long blade.

This is a deeper utilization of domain power and External Landscape True Qi after breaking through to the External Landscape Realm.

"Sure, but Boss, let's agree first, you can't slap my face!"

Song Jingang said hurriedly.

"What do you mean can't slap the face?"

Fang Xing was confused.

"Boss, don't you know? Your name has already spread outside, people call you the face-slapping maniac..."

Song Jingang's voice grew smaller as he spoke.

"Face-slapping maniac?"

Fang Xing's face darkened, the cyan long blade like thunder, instantly slashing at Song Jingang's 'Jin Gang Ti' defense.

"Ah! Boss... I wasn't the one who shouted it!"

Song Jingang's golden light shattered like an eggshell, his face still carrying a trace of grievance.

Then...

He saw a golden palm fall from the sky...

'Face-slapping maniac, well-deserved.'

Before falling into darkness, this was the only sentence in Song Jingang's mind.

Fang Xing, with a dark face, exited the battle arena and checked the network. Sure enough, he saw many comments.

"Sigh... reputation ruined, leaving."

He hurriedly called Xiao Lan to go offline directly, leaving the gathered crowd with no gossip to eat, and they could only leave dejectedly.

"Entered the top 10,000 today... another two days, and I should be able to break into the top 100, the challenge qualification before the end of the month is stable."

For the next two days, Fang Xing continued to bury his head in brushing the battle arena, completely disdaining the chaos outside.

It was the freshmen of the martial arts department who were surprised by this chief who had been silently practicing since enrollment and was finally catching up.

Fang Xing lived up to expectations, reaching 66th place before the end of the month, successfully locking in a challenge seat.

Soon, it was the end of the month again.

Gu Jiantong couldn't wait to enter the virtual cabin and came to the Blue Star Community. "It's here, it's here, the most exciting moment, the end-of-month challenge!"

Around the battle arena, it was already full of students from various universities, looking up at the screens on the four sides of the battle arena.

Through these interfaces, they could observe any battle.

"Needless to say, this time it must be Dark Star taking the crown again."

"I'm more optimistic about Luo Kai. It's said he has completed a major upgrade of his mecha and manufactured a weapon module in the virtual machine factory capable of killing External Landscape martial artists..."

"What do those count for? Our President Huyan is the best... at least she looks pleasing to the eye."

Many gossip-loving students went online to watch the battle, taking sides with their favorite experts, arguing endlessly.

Gu Jiantong's eyes narrowed slightly, seeing his own ranking: "108... Damn, if I were in the External Landscape Realm, I would have already climbed up."

Even he had to admit that Fang Xing, that face-slapping maniac, was truly powerful, especially in breaking through realms!

Although his domain had been achieved, the spiritual power in his Mud Ball Palace was still a little bit short.

And he was still thinking about his future path, which martial art combined with light was the best.

Therefore, he prepared to break through to the External Landscape Realm after the end of this school year.

Who knew Fang Xing would become one silently.

Even so, Gu Jiantong didn't break through rashly, but prepared to rush forward again with his own strength.

Unfortunately, there were too many geniuses in the three top-tier universities, and there were many senior students among them.

He was ultimately at a disadvantage in realm, still in the Courage and Resolve Realm, regrettably outside the top 100, and could only come to be an audience today.

"Student Gu..."

Just then, someone greeted him with a smile.

"Oh, it's Yin Huanzhen..."

Gu Jiantong nodded; he still had some impression of this classmate who could take a few of his moves.

"The top 100 of the battle ranking are basically all in the External Landscape Realm. It's very difficult for us to gain a foothold among them..."

Yin Huanzhen suddenly asked: "Who do you think Fang Xing will challenge?"

"If it were me, of course, I'd go straight for Dark Star!" Gu Jiantong raised his eyebrows: "Huyan Qiushui is a woman, Luo Kai only relies on the advantage of mecha... Only Dark Star's sword can give me the interest to fight... Of course, Dark Star is too strong, Gu Zhen is also okay... He lost last time, this time he must rush into the top ten!"

Gu Jiantong was most unhappy that during the college entrance examination, he essentially lost to two people.

One was Fang Xing, the other was Gu Zhen!

He had an arrogant nature, although he didn't spare words, in his heart, he recognized these two as his true opponents.

This time both major opponents would fight, so he was naturally impatient.

Inside the battle arena.

Fang Xing sat in his lounge, watching the battle schedule: "Hmm... the top ten must accept ten challenges today, more is okay, less is not... Which one should I choose?"

He looked at Dark Star, who looked like a youth, the mecha pilot Luo Kai, who was a burly man, and then glanced at Huyan Qiushui, who had autumn water eyes and a tall, slender figure, and smiled.

"Huyan Qiushui is also the student union president, and she doesn't look bad..."

He swiped his finger and arrived at the ninth position.

"I'm not stupid, challenging the peak of the External Landscape Realm just after entering it..."

"The tenth place is seen as a soft persimmon and receives too many challenges, too troublesome... Ninth is just right."

The ninth place on the battle ranking, named 'Wu Lie', came from Holy Armor University and was a mecha pilot!

'According to the virtual space classification, this Wu Lie is a fifth-rank mecha pilot, meaning that wearing a mecha can rival an External Landscape martial artist... It's worth seeing.'

Fang Xing called out the battle invitation button and clicked send.

Not long after, he saw Wu Lie accept his challenge.

"Hmm, there are still three battles before me... hope there are no accidents."

Once Wu Lie loses, he will automatically vacate his seat, and the previous battle schedule will naturally be void.

Fang Xing waited for another half hour, and a prompt sounded in his ear.

A smile appeared on his face, and his body moved.

By the time he appeared again, he was already above a city ruin.

He stood on top of a high building, looking at Wu Lie standing on top of another high building not far away.

This Wu Lie was completely wrapped in a pitch-black mecha, only revealing the face under the mask, looking dark-skinned, with a pair of blue eyes.

"Fang Xing, do you know why I chose you?"

He moved the mecha and made a sound.

"Because I'm a freshman and easy to bully?"

Fang Xing guessed.

"No... because you, this face-slapping maniac, killed my sister when you met her before. I promised her that if I had the chance, I would definitely teach you a lesson!"

Wu Lie roared, and two firearms emerged on the mecha's arm: "Eat my bullets!"

*Da-da! *

*Da-da! *

Fire tongues danced wildly, and the metal bullet storm formed swept across Fang Xing's location, but could only hit the cement wall in vain.

*Tap-tap! *

Fang Xing leaped, his body moving like a dragon in mid-air, constantly approaching Wu Lie.

"Sky-Dancing Step?"

A large amount of data appeared in front of Wu Lie's eyes; it was the mecha's auxiliary intelligence calculating Fang Xing's route.

"Don't think only you can fly!"

He sprayed flames under his feet, and the pitch-black mecha spread its wings like the Grim Reaper, soaring into the sky!

Pan Xiong was still the same "young boy" with red lips and white teeth. He stood with his hands behind his back and commented in an old-fashioned tone: "Here, I want to especially commend Fang Xing. Because you not only passed your major martial arts course, I am also rewarding you with an extra 3 credits."

"Thank you, Teacher."

Fang Xing thanked him, calculating secretly in his heart that this way, he would have 12 credits.

Compared to many senior students who couldn't save up 10 credits even after working hard for a year, this was considered very good.

And this was still under the condition of giving up Student Union tasks.

"As for Su Longyan and Ouyang Qiang... you passed your major course assessments, and the teacher is rewarding each of you with an extra 1 credit."

Pan Xiong looked at the other two students and spoke.

"Thank you, Teacher!"

Su Longyan and Ouyang Qiang hurriedly thanked him; they knew deeply that these credits were not easily obtained.

If one left the university and still wanted to obtain rare materials from the treasury, one would have to risk their life on the battlefield.

Or one would have to sign harsh contracts and completely sell oneself to a major power to be a dog.

Therefore, every university student was working hard, wanting to achieve higher accomplishments while still in university.

"Alright, besides practicing martial arts, one must also pay attention to the balance of work and rest. You can arrange your summer vacation yourselves."

Pan Xiong waved his hand and walked out of the training room.

"Vacation?"

Su Longyan was still a bit incredulous.

"Yeah, how do you plan to spend this summer vacation?"

Fang Xing suddenly appeared beside Su Longyan with a smile: "Do you want me to give you some pointers?"

He remembered that the first time he made a move, it was to beat the face of this little junior sister into nothingness.

It was quite possible that the nickname "Face-Slapping Demon" started spreading from her.

"No, no need!"

Su Longyan was so scared she shuddered, looking at Ouyang Qiang for help.

"Student Ouyang, how about you?"

Fang Xing looked at Ouyang Qiang.

"Continue to practice hard, perhaps I will go take a look at the Ten Thousand Spirits Record..."

Ouyang Qiang answered frankly.

They were all students from ordinary family backgrounds and couldn't just take a spaceship back to their hometowns at any time, so they would likely spend their winter and summer vacations on Blue Star.

"Hmm, then see you next school year."

Fang Xing actually didn't have any place he wanted to go, so he planned to stay in the dormitory and mooch off the university's resources.

And by the way...

He could put more of his heart and mind into the Cultivation World side.
