Chapter 274

Wang Wang Fengqing held a long sword and walked onto the competition field.

Before Li Fei appeared, Wang Wang Fengqing was the leader of the young generation at Wu'an University and even all universities!

With Li Fei's appearance, this legendary figure who had broken many records seemed to be somewhat overshadowed.

But having broken through to the Dao Foundation stage at 21 and incorporated two types of implants at 22, she was still a peerless prodigy beyond reproach!

Come to think of it, Wang Wang Fengqing was one of the first few people to witness Li Fei's extraordinariness.

When she first met Li Fei, it was her grandfather taking her to ask for a second-grade high-level 【Steel Armor】 implant.

It was also on that day that she witnessed with her own eyes Li Fei successfully absorbing the second-grade high-level 【Steel Armor】 and formally stepping onto the path of martial arts.

At that time, Wang Wang Fengqing was already a Dao Foundation powerhouse.

And today, Li Fei had walked ahead of her!

Such a strong contrast would inevitably make people feel a huge sense of disparity, but Wang Wang Fengqing's mindset was as peaceful as ever.

No matter how the outside world commented, no matter how strong others were, she only focused on her own path.

So when she walked onto the field and faced Gan Gan Jingcheng, whose realm was much higher than her own, her mindset was also very peaceful.

"Begin!"

The referee on the sidelines announced loudly.

Wang Wang Fengqing was in no hurry to make a move, and neither was Gan Gan Jingcheng.

"Calling you Junior Sister, you don't mind, right?"

Gan Gan Jingcheng suddenly asked.

Wang Wang Fengqing nodded calmly.

"Junior Sister Wang, I am a few years older than you; winning against you like this would be somewhat unsportsmanlike."

Dozens of meters away, Gan Gan Jingcheng held his sword with one hand, hiding the long sword behind his back in a reverse-carry style.

He wore a Daoist robe; if not for that full beard, he would have appeared quite dashing:

"Junior Sister Wang, please feel free to act; within thirty moves, I will only defend and not attack."

Whoosh—

Hearing Gan Gan Jingcheng's words, the scene was in an uproar.

Although the gap between Wang Wang Fengqing and Gan Gan Jingcheng was not small, both were Dao Foundation stage; to "give" thirty moves right from the start, was he that arrogant?

Wang Wang Fengqing's expression didn't change upon hearing this; she just silently raised the long sword in her hand, and the aura on her body began to grow continuously.

She was gathering power in place!

After Li Fei possessed 【Ghost Foot】, because "Ghost Shadow" needed to borrow earth energy, his perception of earth energy had also become more acute; at this moment, he could clearly perceive a continuous stream of earth energy pouring into Wang Wang Fengqing's body.

The Dao Foundation Wang Wang Fengqing was constructing was named 【Qinghua Qinghua Linglong】, which also belonged to the top-tier martial arts foundations.

The first implant she incorporated was the second-grade mid-level 【Dust Mountain】, and the second was the second-grade high-level 【Steel Armor】, which Li Fei also possessed.

【Dust Mountain】 was an earth-attribute implant; one of the core-level extraordinary abilities Wang Wang Fengqing activated was named "Peak Ascent."

"Peak Ascent" allowed her to continuously absorb earth energy to enhance her own physical strength and internal energy!

Yuwen Yuwen Donghao's "Earth Source" absorbed earth energy for recovery, while Wang Wang Fengqing's "Peak Ascent" was used for offense.

Since Gan Gan Jingcheng said he would only defend and not attack for the first thirty moves, Wang Wang Fengqing didn't stand on ceremony and stood directly in place to start gathering power!

Seeing this, Gan Gan Jingcheng's smile remained unchanged, letting Wang Wang Fengqing continuously gather power and bring her aura to its peak.

After gathering power in place for seven or eight seconds, the earth energy Wang Wang Fengqing's body could contain reached its limit, and she stepped forward to charge at Gan Gan Jingcheng.

Snap—

A deep footprint was stamped into the mud under her feet; as Wang Wang Fengqing took her first step, the skin all over her body took on a cyan-jade color, which was both beautiful and full of power!

Both were second-grade high-level 【Steel Armor】, and both were "Tyrant Body," but the form Wang Wang Fengqing presented was completely different from Li Fei's.

This was not just a difference in individual constitution, but also because Wang Wang Fengqing had integrated the earth energy she absorbed into her body into the 【Steel Armor】, thereby modifying the "Tyrant Body" and making it even more powerful!

This was the perfect combination of the two extraordinary abilities, "Peak Ascent" and "Tyrant Body."

This left Li Fei, who was on the stands, deep in thought.

Although his strength was greater than Wang Wang Fengqing's, in terms of the development and application of extraordinary abilities, Wang Wang Fengqing was stronger than him; the opponent's modified "Tyrant Body" gave him a lot of inspiration.

In the blink of an eye, Wang Wang Fengqing covered the distance of dozens of meters and stabbed a sword toward Gan Gan Jingcheng's face.

The sword blade was also filled with cyan-jade-colored sword energy.

This was Cyan Steel Force.

【Qinghua Qinghua Linglong】 was a "sequential" cultivation Dao Foundation, so when Wang Wang Fengqing incorporated 【Steel Body】, her internal energy changed from earth-attribute to metal-attribute.

Clang—

Gan Gan Jingcheng held his sword horizontally in front of his chest, steadily blocking Wang Wang Fengqing's sword, and was then shaken back by the violent impact.

The next second, his entire person was submerged in a torrent of cyan-jade-colored sword energy!

Wang Wang Fengqing converted all the earth energy she had just absorbed into her body into sword energy and poured it out.

The characteristic of Cyan Steel Force was the combination of hardness and softness, so the torrent of sword energy Wang Wang Fengqing unleashed at this moment was both fierce and full of the flow and gentleness of water.

Soon, a "stubborn stone" appeared in the torrent of sword energy, like a pillar in the middle of a stream, standing firm under the washing of countless sword energies!

This "stubborn stone" was composed of hundreds of azure-blue internal energies; these internal energies flowed, intertwined, fused, and dispersed continuously... rapidly decomposing the sword energy that collided with it.

Shangqing Sect's unique skill—Hunyuan Light-Splitting Sword!

This was a defensive unique skill specifically used for unloading and neutralizing force; the Shangqing Sect disciple He Rui, whom Yuwen Yuwen Donghao had encountered, had also used this sword technique, forcing Yuwen Yuwen Donghao to use "Flame Explosion" to break his defense.

Used by Gan Gan Jingcheng at this moment, it truly embodied the style of a top-tier martial arts inheritance!

Generally, when describing good defense, the term used is "impenetrable," but the defense of the Hunyuan Light-Splitting Sword was such that even "light" couldn't pass through!

After the torrent of sword energy, Gan Gan Jingcheng stood safely in place.

He didn't launch a counterattack and continued to wait for Wang Wang Fengqing to make a move.

Wang Wang Fengqing retreated decisively to open up a distance and then continued to absorb earth energy to gather power.

Soon, she launched her second attack.

This time, the vast majority of the sword energy was concentrated by her at a single point, attempting to break the defense at a point.

Gan Gan Jingcheng didn't hold his sword horizontally to block, but instead used the tip of his sword against the tip of hers, rapidly combing and diverting the sword energy erupting from the opposite side, letting it flow past both sides of his body.

Seeing this, Wang Wang Fengqing immediately changed her move; the long sword in her hand shook, and dozens of cyan-jade-colored sword lights bloomed, attacking Gan Gan Jingcheng from dozens of different angles in an instant!

Gan Gan Jingcheng still had a faint smile on his face, using the tip of his sword against the tip of hers, neutralizing sword light with sword light, and completely resolving this wave of attacks with a light touch.

Wang Wang Fengqing was not discouraged; she opened up the distance again, gathered power in place, and then launched an attack.

Just like that, she gathered power and attacked time and time again.

Her sword moves were complex and ever-changing, combined with the cyan-jade-colored Cyan Steel Force, making it look quite beautiful when she fought, like a piece of exquisite jade, blooming with its luster on the field to its heart's content, making people watch until they were intoxicated!

But no matter what methods she unleashed, she couldn't break Gan Gan Jingcheng's defense and could only return without success time and time again.

"So amazing!"

Quite a few people at the scene showed expressions of amazement.

Everyone knew beforehand that there was a large gap between Wang Wang Fengqing and Gan Gan Jingcheng, but they hadn't thought it would be this large.

Up to now, Gan Gan Jingcheng hadn't even unleashed any active extraordinary abilities.

Facing such a huge gap, Wang Wang Fengqing's expression remained peaceful, seemingly unaffected in any way.

She had already attacked Gan Gan Jingcheng 27 times, and the 30-move agreement was very close.

On the 28th move, Wang Wang Fengqing stabbed out a sword with a calm expression.

When the sword blades collided, her cyan-jade-colored skin suddenly became covered in cracks, like a piece of blue-and-white porcelain about to shatter!

The smile on Gan Gan Jingcheng's face vanished instantly, and the long sword in his hand was actually chipped!

The next second, a majestic internal energy surged out from Wang Wang Fengqing's long sword.

If the previous torrent of sword energy was like a surging river, then at this moment, it was a raging sea!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

In the audience seats near the competition field, many spectators heard the sound of waves in their ears and felt the sky full of water vapor, as if they had suddenly arrived at the seaside, watching the monstrous waves about to sweep over, giving rise to a strong sense of suffocation.

Dao Force—【Raging Sea Tide】!

Also a peerless prodigy, Wu'an University was able to exchange top-tier inheritances like the "Red Sound Fire Vajra Method" for Li Fei in advance when his credits and money were insufficient, so they naturally wouldn't treat Wang Wang Fengqing poorly.

【Raging Sea Tide】 was a Dao Force from the top-tier inheritance Wang Wang Fengqing had mastered; originally, she needed to incorporate a third water-attribute implant and change her internal energy from metal-attribute to water-attribute before she could unleash it.

At this moment, after paying a certain price, she forcibly used it!

The surging and roaring torrent of sword energy finally broke through Gan Gan Jingcheng's defense; he retreated while rapidly waving the long sword in his hand.

Azure-blue internal energy turned into soft clouds, wrapping Gan Gan Jingcheng's entire person within them, and his body gradually became ethereal, as if he were no longer in the human world.

No matter how powerful the force was, it couldn't cause him any harm.

Dao Force—【Leaning on Clouds in the Sky】!

Gan Gan Jingcheng was pushed back more than two hundred meters by the torrent of sword energy; when the sword energy dissipated, a huge gully over two hundred meters long appeared on the ground.

Wang Wang Fengqing stood at one end of the gully, her skin covered in cracks, looking very terrifying.

At the other end of the gully was Gan Gan Jingcheng, who still didn't seem to have suffered any harm, only his Daoist robe had more tears.

"So Junior Sister Wang's second core-level extraordinary ability is 'Jade Shatter'; truly fierce."

Gan Gan Jingcheng praised with a smile.

Even though he had been forced to use Dao Force unexpectedly, he still maintained his demeanor.

Both were 【Steel Armor】, but the core-level extraordinary ability Wang Wang Fengqing activated was different from Li Fei's.

The ability she activated was named "Jade Shatter," an ability that injured the enemy by a thousand while damaging oneself by eight hundred, allowing her to unleash power far beyond her own limits!

The price was that she couldn't use "Tyrant Body" for a short time, nor could she activate the 【Steel Armor】 implant again.

"Tyrant Body" had integrated earth energy and become more solid, so the upper limit of the power "Jade Shatter" could unleash had also become higher.

This was the reason Wang Wang Fengqing could forcibly unleash Dao Force in advance.

She had forced out Gan Gan Jingcheng's Dao Force with her own!

With such a huge gap in strength, such a battle record was enough to be proud of.

Wang Wang Fengqing wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth calmly, bowed to Gan Gan Jingcheng, and then turned to walk off the field.

Blood dripped continuously from the "lines" that had cracked on her body, staining the mud on the ground red.

When she reached the edge of the field, she had walked a bloody path on the ground!

Behind her, Gan Gan Jingcheng restrained his smile and bowed to her earnestly.

"Shangqing Sect's Gan Gan Jingcheng, wins!"

Only then did the referee react and announce the result.

Wang Wang Fengqing walked off the competition field on her own initiative, which meant she was conceding.

But no one would feel that she hadn't tried her best.

Gan Gan Jingcheng said he would let her have thirty moves, and as a result, she chose to unleash her full power regardless of the cost on the 28th move.

She didn't leave herself any room!

In fact, no one would blame her even if she lost this match, and everyone could understand.

But Wang Wang Fengqing still chose to use "Jade Shatter."

This would inevitably affect her participation in the ranking matches in the afternoon.

And this was her choice; she didn't care what others thought.

Clap, clap, clap, clap!

Enthusiastic applause erupted throughout the arena, applauding for this exciting match and for Wang Wang Fengqing's fierceness.

"The Dao Foundation Gan Gan Jingcheng practices is named 【Leaning on Clouds in the Sky】; it is sequential cultivation, and the final internal energy he practices is named 'Long Sky Leaning on Clouds Force,' which is an internal energy that jumps outside the five elements."

Qin Zhen, who was sitting beside Li Fei, suddenly spoke, "He has already mastered the Long Sky Leaning on Clouds Force."

Li Fei nodded: "Thank you for your guidance, Professor Qin."

Before, everyone only knew that Gan Gan Jingcheng had incorporated five types of implants, but they couldn't judge his specific combat power.

After all, having just incorporated the fifth implant but not having practiced it to the Qi Transformation stage, versus having practiced it to the Qi Transformation stage, were two different concepts.

The latter meant that the internal energy had already fused with five types of Innate Qi, initially reaching perfection.

Qin Zhen said Gan Gan Jingcheng had already mastered the Long Sky Leaning on Clouds Force, indicating that the opponent's internal energy was already perfect, at least at the 7th rank of the Dao Foundation stage!

"Before leaving, Principal Shi told me that you are aiming for first place this time."

Qin Zhen turned his head to look at Li Fei and said earnestly:

"I am very much looking forward to it."

There weren't many things that could interest him.

He considered that if he were in Li Fei's current realm, it would be almost impossible to defeat an opponent like Gan Gan Jingcheng.

So he was very much looking forward to Li Fei's performance.

Li Fei nodded calmly: "Just doing my best."

"Next match, Wu'an University's Li Fei vs. Daluo Sect's Ning Xing!"

A huge voice came from the speakers.

Hearing his name, Li Fei stood up from his seat, bowed to Qin Zhen, and then turned to walk down the steps.

When he walked off the stands, he encountered Wang Wang Fengqing, who had finished treating her wounds in the lounge and had come out after changing her clothes.

"Good luck."

Wang Wang Fengqing said to him.

"Thank you."

Li Fei nodded in response, and then the two brushed past each other.

On the other side, Ning Xing walked to the edge of the field with a nervous expression.

In fact, it wasn't just this match against Li Fei; in all previous matches, regardless of who the opponent was, Ning Xing would feel nervous before going on the field.

He chose a sword and subconsciously looked back at his senior brother on the stands.

Ning Tang Chuan nodded at him, giving him an affirmative look.

Only then did Ning Xing calm down, took a deep breath, and whispered to himself:

"Ning Xing, you can do it!"

Then he held his sword and walked onto the competition field.

At the same time, Li Fei also chose his blade and stepped into the competition field.

"Begin!"

The referee on the sidelines shouted loudly.

Asking for monthly votes.
