Chapter 144 An Unexpected Challenge

While Shen Bailian was undergoing a rapid transformation.

Tiangang Academy, a virtual spiritual space.

"Roar!"

"Taishan meteorite falls!"

A roar like thunder echoed through the ancient Roman Colosseum. A massive black shadow leaped into the air like a falling Mount Tai, creating a gust of wind as it charged toward Lu Changsheng.

Under the sunlight, the enormous black shadow could be seen to be a terrifying five or six meters tall at the shoulders, like a raging bear.

His body was huge and heavy, and his thick brown hair stood up straight like steel needles, shimmering slightly in the sunlight.

It possesses considerable defensive capabilities.

Of all the raging behemoths, only one face could be vaguely identified as resembling a human.

Upon seeing this, Lu Changsheng felt his bones throb and his strength surge violently. His gaze was icy, and he wielded the giant halberd with ease. His long hair danced wildly in the wind, and his figure was like a mountain or a shooting star.

boom! boom!
Amidst a tremendous roar, the giant halberd clashed violently with Xiong Dali's bear claws, each aftershock creating a large crater in the ground.

The raging wind howled, and with each impact, the air emitted a violent wail, scattering the surrounding sand and dust in all directions, as if a natural disaster had struck.

"boom!"

Another violent impact shattered the earth, instantly creating a deep crater with terrifying cracks spreading in all directions, adding another massive wound to the already riddled landscape.

boom! boom! boom!
Lu Changsheng and Xiong Dali clashed fiercely. The giant halberd, accompanied by the sound of wind and thunder, instantly struck Xiong Dali's brow. The blade had already cut through the skin on his forehead, and a drop of blood oozed out.

"Chichichi..."

The gust of wind was like a series of daggers, fiercely stabbing towards Xiong Dali's face. This move was extremely insidious, causing several wounds to appear on his face, staining his brown hair red.

"Roar!"

Xiong Dali felt a sharp pain in his face and roared angrily. The huge sound waves rolled out and instantly made Lu Changsheng's ears ring.

"boom--"

With a sound like muffled thunder, the massive halberd that was about to crash down on Xiong Dali abruptly stopped, its sharp blade piercing through thick fur and penetrating deep into his flesh.

However, halfway through its journey, the giant halberd seemed to get stuck, and was being held up by Xiong Dali, slowly, inch by inch, moving upwards.

Upon seeing this, Lu Changsheng's pupils suddenly contracted, and the muscles and veins on his arms bulged, resembling gnarled tree roots. However, he was powerless to stop the giant halberd from rising upwards.

"Lu Changsheng... I've put up with you for too long!"

Xiong Dali grinned and slowly stood up. Amidst the crackling sounds, his bloodline power was once again activated.

Beneath his feet, the ground had cracked open like a spiderweb.

The force of hundreds of tons converged on the giant halberd, like a mountain pressing down. Ordinary ground could not withstand it, and it dented and cracked from the middle outward, forming a huge crater.

"hehe."

Lu Changsheng's lips curled up slightly, revealing a mocking smile. He slammed his hands together, grasping the giant halberd in his palms.

"drink!"

With a roar, his bones and muscles resonated, and his power surged forth like the surging Yangtze River. He spun the giant halberd in his hand and then smashed it forward with a thunderous crash.

Wind and rain from all directions.

"The body of a savage bear".

Xiong Dali sneered, and the power within his bloodline was once again unleashed. With a tremendous roar, his body suddenly swelled up again.

As for the original injury on his arm, it healed in an instant, without even a trace of blood.

This is the advantage of bloodline warriors: high stamina, high endurance, and high health, often referred to as the "three highs".

"boom!"

The swirling gale howled, a pure contest of strength, like the scene of the end of the world, sweeping away everything around it with the most domineering and brutal power.

In an instant, dust on the ground exploded and shot out in all directions, and the very center of the battle instantly sank several tens of centimeters.

It was like a small sandstorm, instantly covering an area of ​​tens to hundreds of meters in radius.

The remaining energy, transmitted downwards through Xiong Dali's massive body, which was as large as a small mountain, caused the earth to crack open in an instant.

If viewed from above, one would find that Xiong Dali's original location has been replaced by a large pit with a diameter of twenty to thirty meters.

The pit is shallow and not deep.

But this is a contest of pure strength and skill. If the two of them were to use the power of heaven and earth, who knows how terrifying the power would become.

"I surrender!"

Feeling the violent aura emanating from below, Lu Changsheng's heart clenched, his breath caught in his throat, and he immediately shouted, "I surrender!" "Battle over!"

A magnificent and solemn sound resounded above the Colosseum in ancient Rome, like the ancient tolling of bells echoing through the long river of time.

All of a sudden.

The entire Colosseum seemed to freeze instantly, the dust scattered around was swept away in an instant, and the craters on the ground were restored to their original state in a flash.

"Fuck you, Lu Changsheng, I fucking..."

As his body rapidly shrank, Xiong Dali's anger only intensified.

However, it is understandable. Anyone who has finally made it to the late game and is looking forward to showing their prowess will find that the opponent surrenders immediately.

Then wouldn't all the beatings I took have been for nothing?

Although this is within the spiritual virtual space of the Heavenly Gang Academy, the physical pain can be fed back to the consciousness in real time.

"This isn't my fault." Lu Changsheng shrugged indifferently, feigning helplessness, and complained:

“This is a virtual space in the Spirit Realm, where the power of heaven and earth cannot be used. You are a bloodline martial artist, and it is really unfair to rely solely on physical strength.”

Although the Great Xia's intelligent technology is very advanced, in order to avoid repeating the same mistakes, most of the intelligent technology, virtual reality technology, and other non-war-related cutting-edge technologies have been strictly restricted.

The shared virtual space within the Tiangang Academy can only simulate the combat power of the peak of the Transcendent Realm, and even then, it can only simulate pure physical strength.

"I'm never sparring with you again, you always cheat!" Xiong Dali cursed. "I must have lost my mind today to agree to your sparring invitation, you bastard..."

"Heh~" Lu Changsheng shook his head and smiled helplessly, taking Xiong Dali's words as nonsense. He stood dozens of meters away and spoke directly:
"Tomorrow is the opening ceremony for new students. Are you interested in attending?"

"No interest, it would interfere with my cultivation." Xiong Dali refused without even thinking.

"Alright then." Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng pretended to look regretful and murmured softly, "It seems that I'll have to find someone else to teach my junior brother."

The term "class" sounds nice, but it's meant to broaden the horizons of the new generation of rising stars through sparring, preventing them from becoming too arrogant.

At the same time, this is also a long-standing tradition of the student council: sparring is mainly for mutual learning and training, with education as a secondary purpose.

This is considered a good thing, so most of the school's leaders tend to support it.

After all, it's much better to suffer some grievances at school than to bleed, get injured, or even lose your life on the battlefield.

Furthermore, the purpose of the martial arts university is to cultivate warriors who are capable of fighting and can withstand the elements without being destroyed, rather than flowers in a greenhouse.

Duan Wuyai, Huang Qingqing, Cheng Shangwu, and other powerful figures have all experienced more than a hundred real battles in order to stand out among the geniuses of their time.

Although Lu Changsheng's voice wasn't loud, Xiong Dali's strength was by no means weak, and given that the two were only about ten meters apart, it was naturally heard by the latter.

As soon as Lu Changsheng finished speaking, a screen popped up in front of him, indicating that he was about to log off and find someone else.

"Hey, wait a minute." Xiong Dali's ears twitched. Upon hearing that there was such good news, he immediately said, "Don't bother anyone else. Leave this to me."

"You? Can you do it?" Lu Changsheng raised his eyebrows slightly, feigning disbelief.

He secretly thought there was going to be a good show. He was a comedian by nature and had tried to persuade Xu Changqing before, but had failed.

So, they quickly set their sights on the simple-minded Xiong Dali, and now it seems that the plan is going very smoothly.

No matter which side suffers misfortune, it's something Lu Changsheng is happy to see.

His main purpose was to see how the new champion would change after experiencing setbacks, which is why he brought in Xiong Dali, the bloodline warrior with the strongest physical strength among the four generations.

Of course, even if he ultimately succeeds in defeating the newcomer king and angers Duan Wuyai, it won't be Lu Changsheng who suffers the consequences.

The plan was perfect!
……

The interior of the underground meditation room in the Nanhu Villa District, detached villa number 4137.

After nearly half an hour, the raging vortex of天地元力 (heaven and earth elemental energy) gradually dissipated, and Shen Bailian's consciousness gradually returned.

"This upgrade took much longer than previous ones."

Shen Bailian slowly opened his eyes, the sharp light in them dissipating, leaving his eyes deep and calm, devoid of any ripples.

"However, the corresponding improvement can be considered as achieving the expected goal." Shen Bailian felt the terrifying power even before he moved his body.

Compared to before, it's like breaking through a constraint.

Physical Strength: 16.1; Spirit: 11.2

Originally, based on the characteristic of a 10% increase in all attributes when a character levels up, Shen Bailian's current maximum single-arm punching power should be 37.18 tons.

However, his physical attributes have now been upgraded to level 16.1, which means that his maximum single-arm punching power under normal conditions has increased to 38.8 tons.

The difference in single-arm punching power of 1.62 tons is enough to be equivalent to dozens of days of hard training.

"My current strength." Shen Bailian slowly stood up, feeling the surging power within his body, and immediately grinned, saying:
"The burst of Heavenly Qi, the swift and graceful movements of Gale, coupled with the Iron Body's powerful defense and regenerative abilities... in a short time, it's enough to fight against a level 17.0 Transcendent Realm martial artist!"
