Chapter 281: Who Contends for the Championship Name

At the edge of the deep pit on the competition stage, over twenty "Li Feis" stood at specific points, and the Earth-Nether Primordial Sha Qi and earth Qi on their bodies began to connect.

Li Fei indeed intended to form a formation again!

However, his real body was currently fighting Gan Jingcheng, making it hard to split his mind, so the speed of forming the formation was very slow.

Inside the deep pit, Li Fei held the giant blade with both hands and swept horizontally; the two-meter-long giant blade tore through the air, slashing toward Gan Jingcheng with a sharp whistling sound.

Gan Jingcheng actively met him, thrusting his sword to strike the middle section of the giant blade first, cutting off Li Fei's exertion of force in advance.

The sword body of the long sword in his hand bent slightly, retreated with the momentum, and then changed angles to thrust forward again.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

The long sword thrust five times in an instant, each time in a different position; Long Sky Leaning Cloud Strength transformed into a soft yet tough rope, attaching to the surface of the giant blade, constantly changing the movement trajectory of the giant blade.

After five sword strikes, the giant blade slashed past the left side of Gan Jingcheng's body.

Gan Jingcheng stepped forward and thrust his sword straight at Li Fei's head!

Li Fei didn't dodge or evade, his wrists turned, and the Jin Gang Strength on the saber edge changed from a high-speed cutting state to high-frequency vibration, simultaneously spiraling in different directions, constantly colliding and rubbing against the Long Sky Leaning Cloud Strength attached to it...

Over a dozen strands of strength changed and clashed rapidly on the giant blade, and the pulling and binding force borne by the giant blade decreased somewhat.

Li Fei seized this gap to catalyze Jin Gang Strength·Dragon Elephant again, relying on terrifying explosive power to forcefully change the trajectory of the giant blade in his hand, changing from a vertical slash to a horizontal sweep, wanting to cut Gan Jingcheng in half at the waist!

All of this seemed complex, but it actually happened in an instant; the sword light in Gan Jingcheng's hand had already broken through Li Fei's protective Jin Gang Strength, piercing Li Fei's skin, but the next instant he withdrew his sword to defend, blocking before the horizontally sweeping giant blade.

Bang!

Gan Jingcheng was knocked back by a vast and mighty force, finally only leaving a sword mark on Li Fei's forehead.

The clash between the two seemed grand and open, but it was actually a contest in the details.

If Gan Jingcheng could be restricted just by having great strength and a heavy weapon, then that would be underestimating this peerless prodigy of the Shangqing Sect.

Li Fei's contest in strength didn't fall behind much, which was why he could recover a round by relying on super-strong strength.

He hadn't practiced the saber for long, and from beginning to end, he used the Armor-Breaking Style that Hao Yi had taught him last, constantly shaking Gan Jingcheng's strength binding.

Gan Jingcheng felt more and more tired as he fought.

While Li Fei was fighting him, the speed of his strength changes could keep up with him, and he could also be distracted to control the clones above to set up a formation.

Just how strong was this power of intent?

Just whose realm was higher?

It was truly too unreasonable!

Seeing that those clones above would soon complete the formation, Gan Jingcheng suddenly changed his "conservative" fighting style.

He rushed toward Li Fei's giant blade again, pointing his sword at the side of the saber body to change its trajectory.

Just like before, the giant blade slashed past the side of his body; he stepped forward and thrust straight at Li Fei's face, and Li Fei also changed the vertical slash to a horizontal sweep.

But this time Gan Jingcheng didn't withdraw his sword to defend, seemingly wanting to "trade life for life" with Li Fei!

Li Fei also didn't change his move, lowering his head to actively collide with the thrusting sword tip using his hardest skull.

Bang—

Strength exploded, Li Fei retreated, his head broken and bleeding!

A deep wound was also slashed on Gan Jingcheng's left waist, but it was rapidly healing.

His strength was stronger than Li Fei's, which could ensure that every time they traded injury for injury, Li Fei would definitely be injured more heavily than himself, and he had a core-level extraordinary healing ability, while Li Fei did not.

Plus Li Fei also condensed so many clones, consuming a large amount of Qi and blood.

He didn't believe Li Fei could hold on longer than him!

Regarding Gan Jingcheng's sudden change in fighting style, Li Fei's eyes were calm, very calmly trading injury for injury with the opponent.

He condensed clones and indeed consumed a large amount of Qi and blood, but these Qi and blood were not his own, but taken from the "Blood Spring."

Using the Ten Thousand Blood Bead to bear damage was easy to reveal flaws; after all, the details of bearing damage for every kind of horizontal martial arts were different, and there was no horizontal martial arts in this world that directly transferred 99% of the damage... but mobilizing the blood souls within the "Blood Spring" to transform into Qi and blood, thereby condensing clones, didn't need to worry about revealing any problems, because this was entirely a secret change within the body.

So although Li Fei had condensed over a hundred clones, his real body's Qi and blood hadn't been consumed in the slightest!

Fighting until now, Gan Jingcheng suddenly wanted to trade blood with him; he was very happy to trade with the opponent using several times the "blood volume."

Just like that, the two constantly traded injury for injury:

The bones in Li Fei's left arm were fractured in many places, and he could only change to holding the saber with one hand.

Gan Jingcheng's right shoulder was pierced, and using the sword was no longer agile.

Li Fei's left shoulder was injured, Gan Jingcheng's right abdomen was injured...

The injuries of the two became heavier and heavier, and their combat power constantly slid.

Gan Jingcheng had a core-level extraordinary healing ability and could persist, which could still be understood.

But Li Fei hadn't fallen until now, which was very puzzling:

"How could his vitality be so strong?"

"Could this be the reason he dared to take so many elixirs?"

"Such a physique is even more powerful than many aliens in the West!"

"..."

A group of Wu Gong Masters present all showed looks of surprise.

If it weren't for the fact that Li Fei didn't have that kind of aura like a strange beast, they would have suspected that Li Fei was not from the East Continent, but possessed the bloodline of aliens from the West!

"I once saw a physique called 'Nine Yang Body' in an ancient book; it is said that people possessing this physique have innate Qi and blood far exceeding ordinary people, and their vitality is comparable to strange beasts!"

"I also saw one called 'Rising Dragon Body' in an ancient book; Qi and blood are like dragons, and vitality is over ten times that of ordinary people, and it's even more powerful after becoming a martial artist!"

"..."

Many people present began to discuss Li Fei's physique.

They felt they had found the reason why this peerless prodigy had become the "First in History."

Just as Li Fei thought, there was no need for him to specifically explain anything; naturally, someone would fill in the blanks for him.

At a certain moment, the twenty-something clones surrounding the edge of the deep pit completed the formation.

Strands of pitch-black aura transformed into chains, flying out from their bodies and flying toward the deep pit below.

Rakshasa Earth-Binding Formation!

This was a formation that could be formed by at least twenty-four people and at most thirty-six people.

This kind of formation utilized earth Qi and Sha Qi to bind the opponent.

When over twenty pitch-black chains flew out, a powerful earth Qi also surged from the mud in the deep pit below, transforming into a powerful suction force, firmly adsorbing Gan Jingcheng in place!

At the same time, Li Fei also slashed vertically with his saber, forcing Gan Jingcheng's movement.

Gan Jingcheng was covered in blood, letting the chains bind him, and the long sword in his hand left his hand, transforming into a dazzling star and thrusting toward Li Fei!

This was his final outburst.

At this time, Li Fei was distracted by controlling the Rakshasa Earth-Binding Formation and was already too late to dodge or block.

He had been waiting for the grand formation to be completed, and Gan Jingcheng had also been waiting for this moment.

This was Li Fei's strongest moment, and also his weakest moment!

The sword light struck Li Fei's chest squarely; he only slightly turned his body, not letting this sword pierce his heart, and then was instantly pierced through the body, a sword tip protruding from his back!

He was knocked backward by the surging power, crashing into the mud and sinking deep into it.

At the same time, the twenty-something clones standing at the edge of the deep pit all leaped into the deep pit, smashing toward Gan Jingcheng, who was bound.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Clones self-destructed one after another!

After a series of explosions, the deep pit became even deeper.

When the dust settled, only Li Fei, with a long sword stuck in his chest and the sword tip protruding from his back, was seen standing beside Gan Jingcheng, who had fallen to the ground.

He grabbed the sword handle with his left hand, let out a muffled groan, and pulled the long sword directly out of his body!

The blood-stained sword edge pointed downward, aimed at Gan Jingcheng, who was already heavily injured to the point of being unable to move.

"..."

This bloody scene full of power dumbfounded many people present.

It made people feel incomparably shocked!

Li Fei could not only secretly use the blood souls within the "Blood Spring" to transform into Qi and blood to manufacture clones, but could also secretly extract the blood souls within the "Blood Spring" and directly transform them into his own vitality.

Just now, when trading injury for injury with Gan Jingcheng, Li Fei had been constantly extracting blood souls from the "Blood Spring," keeping his own vitality in a very "vigorous" state.

Gan Jingcheng couldn't sense it, but Qi Zhou, as a Grandmaster, saw it very accurately.

So when that sword strike piercing the chest came, no one intervened to stop this sword strike.

Qi Zhou knew Li Fei couldn't die, so naturally, he wouldn't call a halt to this sparring match.

And Gan Jingcheng, who had already suffered heavy injuries and whose injuries had further worsened after trading injury for injury, finally completely lost his combat power after enduring the self-destruction of over twenty clones.

"Li Fei of Wu'an University, winner!"

The referee on the sidelines announced the result in a loud voice.

After a moment of silence, thunderous applause erupted at the scene.

On the main spectator stand, Qi Zhou was also applauding.

He turned his head to look at True Person Xuan Chen, whose face looked ugly, and the smile on his face became even more brilliant.

Before the match, no one expected that the final person to enter the finals would be Li Fei.

Li Fei leaped out of the deep pit and walked toward the outside of the arena with a calm expression.

Clearly, he was covered in blood, with dozens of wounds all over his body, over a dozen of which were piercing wounds, and there were also multiple severe fractures.

But he looked incomparably powerful, his vitality still vigorous, as if he would never fall!

Fighting until now, the number of blood souls remaining in the Ten Thousand Blood Bead was 203, and 272 blood souls in the "Blood Spring" had been consumed, with 316 remaining.

Taking medicine consumed over 50 blood souls, manufacturing clones consumed over 100 blood souls, so the number of blood souls consumed by injuries was over 300.

Actually, Gan Jingcheng didn't directly cause so many injuries to Li Fei, but injuries like blood loss, organ damage, muscle damage, broken bones, etc., would continuously reduce blood souls.

Li Fei had once envisioned a very extreme situation:

He didn't use the Ten Thousand Blood Bead to bear damage, but relied on strong vitality to resist damage; it was possible that he could be cut in half at the waist, beheaded, or even have his heart blasted, and he wouldn't die for a while!

It was just that the number of blood souls would constantly decrease, and only when the blood souls were all exhausted would he thoroughly die.

The current situation was very similar; he could completely continue to fight Gan Jingcheng until this body was thoroughly "scrapped" and couldn't move at all, but his vitality would still be vigorous!

This was also the terrifying talent unique to the "First in History" that he intended to show the world!

Gan Jingcheng was carried off the field.

With injuries like his, even if the Shangqing Sect had all kinds of miraculous medicines for healing, and even if a contemporary True Person cast healing-type arts for him.

But it was absolutely impossible for him to participate in the upcoming battle for third and fourth place in a complete state.

"This is medicine for healing."

After Li Fei changed into a set of clothes, he returned to the spectator stand.

Qin Zhen handed him a package of medicine.

"Thank you."

Li Fei took the package.

"You don't need to go heal?"

Qin Zhen looked at him with strange eyes.

Li Fei shook his head: "No rush, watch the upcoming match first."

Next was Ming Qi versus Ning Chuan; Ming Qi had mastered the "White-Pure Water Jin Gang Method," and Li Fei didn't want to miss it.

And the scene of him continuing to sit on the spectator stand to watch the match also dumbfounded many people present:

"Simply a monster... no wonder he can become the First in History..."

The staff were rapidly filling the pits on the competition stage with mud, trying their best to restore the competition stage.

This process lasted for over half an hour.

"Next match, Ning Chuan of Daluo Sect versus Ming Qi of Pudu Temple!"

The second match of the day finally began.

Li Fei had already entered the finals; who would be the one to contend for the championship name with him next?

Ming Qi and Ning Chuan soon walked into the competition stage.

Neither of them had the slightest bit of nonsense; when the referee announced the start of the match, they struck almost simultaneously.

Like the previous match, Ming Qi directly used Subduing Dragon Jin Gang Strength to condense a golden dragon over ten meters long in the air.

Ning Chuan didn't hold his sword to attack immediately, but pointed his sword at his feet.

The mud at his feet shook, and then spring water surged out.

This was the water of an underground river.

There were wild winds roaring, circling around Ning Chuan.

There was fire generated on his long sword.

Rumble rumble rumble—

Incessant thunder rang out!

Thunder of Earth, Thunder of Water, Thunder of Wind, Thunder of Fire—four strengths of different attributes appeared simultaneously, catalyzing thunder of different attributes.

Ning Chuan cultivated 【Ten Thousand Thunder Fate-Command】, which was known as the best thunder-attribute Dao Foundation, and the strength he cultivated was the Myriad Heavens Thunder Strength, which could evolve into different thunder!

The five implant attributes constituting the 【Ten Thousand Thunder Fate-Command】 Dao Foundation were soil, water, wind, fire, and thunder.

Ning Chuan had already integrated the first four and developed four core-level extraordinary abilities.

At this moment, he simultaneously catalyzed these four core-level extraordinary abilities, which were:

Earth-Hidden Thunder: could convert earth Qi into lightning.

Water-Hidden Thunder: could extract lightning from water.

Wind-Hidden Thunder: could extract lightning through wind power.

Fire-Hidden Thunder: could extract lightning through fire.

These four core-level extraordinary abilities allowed Ning Chuan to possess a continuous supply of lightning no matter where he was!

Real lightning combined with thunder-attribute strength, Ning Chuan created a thunder-lightning world:

Lightning constantly fell on the ground, silver snakes danced wildly in the water, thunder exploded in the wind, and electric light flickered in the fire.

Ning Chuan brought out his strongest means at the very beginning!

This thunder-lightning world took shape in the blink of an eye, and the golden dragon in the air had already swooped down from the sky, diving downward.

Dao Strength—【Deep Sea Hidden Dragon】!

Ning Chuan's mind wasn't influenced in the slightest, controlling the lightning to tear the diving golden dragon to pieces!

Ming Qi joined his palms, his whole body shining with golden light, and he stepped forward, actually actively stepping into Ning Chuan's thunder-lightning world.

Boom boom boom boom—

Countless bolts of lightning constantly struck Ming Qi's body.

There were dragon shadows circling around him, his golden body was dazzling, and Buddhist sounds lingered; letting the lightning constantly strike, he himself remained motionless.

Dao Strength—【White-Pure Water Jin Gang Image】!

This move was similar to Li Fei's 【Red-Sound Fire Jin Gang Image】, only Ming Qi chose to let the "Dharma Image" manifest externally and merge with the real body.

This wasn't over yet; a green golden Dharma Image over ten meters high appeared out of thin air, covering Ming Qi within it.

This was the 【Determining Calamity Jin Gang Image】!

The "Determining Calamity Jin Gang Method" was also one of the "Eight Sections of Jin Gang," mainly cultivating the elimination of all karmic obstacles and disasters.

【Determining Calamity Jin Gang Image】 could eliminate all negative states and resist all mental attacks!

Ming Qi perfectly combined the two Dao Strengths; for the next full quarter of an hour, he stood in place, letting Ning Chuan attack, only joining his palms and constantly chanting Buddhist scriptures in his mouth.

From him, Li Fei saw what was called "Jin Gang Indestructibility"!
