We made you practice martial arts, and you've mastered the Great Golden Body?

Chapter 166 Ultimate Showdown! The Seven Refinements of the Hundred Arts – Accelerator!

"Activating intermediate force field shield..."

hum~
As the sound faded, hexagonal crystals lit up around the arena, displaying a pale blue color, before disappearing at an extremely fast speed.

"Looks like I was the one who talked too much." Wang Qinian scoffed when he heard Shen Bailian's words, a disdainful smile on his face.

Swish!
Wang Qinian's eyes turned cold. He swung his arm, and the black dragon-shaped staff suddenly spun several times in mid-air like a black lightning bolt.

Then he slightly shifted his body, pointing one end of his dragon-patterned staff in Shen Bailian's direction, and coldly said, "Let's see who has the real skills with swords and staffs."

All of a sudden.

"Wow! So handsome!"

"Wang Qinian!"

"Go Wang Qinian!"

After Wang Qinian displayed an arrogant attitude, he not only did not arouse the resentment of the hundreds of thousands of spectators at the Beifeng Martial Arts Arena, but was instead greeted with wave after wave of cheers.

There were a few voices cheering for Shen Bailian in the stands, but they were immediately drowned out by the surging cheers for Wang Qinian.

……

At the highest point of the North Wind Martial Arts Arena, in VIP Room 237.

"That bastard is getting better and better at pretending." Wang Haoran sat in the massage chair, looking through the bright floor-to-ceiling windows at everything on the stage. He heard the cheers outside and couldn't help but say sourly.

Those who shared the same feeling were not only the first-year martial arts students of Tiangang Academy, but also a group of high school students from Bozhou No. 3 Middle School in Bozhou City.

However, none of them were actually there; they were watching remotely via live stream, so they could only send some comments and couldn't really influence the atmosphere.

"But he's handsome, isn't he?" Han Tiemei didn't seem to harbor much hostility towards Wang Qinian. She leaned against the armrest, rested her chin on her hand, and smiled.
"It's just that Junior Brother isn't arrogant enough; otherwise, this battle could have been much more interesting."

……

"I think so too!"

As Shen Bailian spoke, his mind stirred slightly, and in a flash, the Dragon Slayer appeared in his hand, as he quietly savored the delicate touch of the hilt.

boom!
At the same time, he took a deep breath, moved his feet slightly, and his whole body throbbed with energy. His internal organs trembled violently, and his primal force surged forth like a long river, flowing out along with his blood.

Shen Bailian knew his own strength; the gap between him and his opponent was enormous.

In terms of physical attributes alone, the two seem to be only 0.5 levels apart, but when it comes to the data on the maximum single-arm punching power, the difference is 69 tons.

Although Wang Qinian was in a top-tier martial arts university, he was also a Sun-level Dragon Gate martial arts student, which would be enough to rank him in the top fifty among the third-year martial arts students at Tiangang Academy.

Moreover, this was different from the arena matches Shen Bailian had experienced before; it was not a bare-handed fight, nor was it held inside the virtual space of the Spirit Realm.

The opponent was neither a ferocious beast nor a mortal enemy, but a martial arts student.

Therefore, Shen Bailian would inevitably have some reservations when using the Dragon Slayer technique, but his opponent would certainly not give him time to familiarize himself with it. Seeing that he was showing signs of weakness, the opponent would definitely deliver a fatal blow.

As time passed, the atmosphere on the stage gradually reached its peak, and the cheers around them gradually subsided.

Many viewers held their breath and activated the recording function on their smart bracelets, wanting to capture this historic moment.

Even many martial arts students from various martial arts universities are subject to the same restrictions. Although their equipment is more advanced, it is still strictly limited to avoid disturbing the two martial arts students on stage.

"Please prepare yourselves, martial arts students." The burly man standing in the void looked down at the two below, his eyes suddenly brightening as he excitedly shouted, "The twenty-third round of the preliminary competition, now!"

"Officially begin!"

Within a hundredth of a second of the sound fading, the intermediate force field shield activated its soundproofing function, instantly isolating the outside world from the disturbances.

Having already prepared themselves and entered the fray, Shen Bailian and Wang Qinian's eyes gleamed with brilliant light, and the battle erupted instantly.

Bang bang bang!
Wang Qinian's legs powerfully stomped on the ground, and his speed instantly exploded to its limit, exceeding 200 meters per second, and approaching 250 meters per second.

He transformed into a black lightning bolt, causing the air to vibrate violently in his path as he fiercely pounced on Shen Bailian.

"call!"

Shen Bailian gripped the Dragon Slayer tightly in his right hand, unleashing his spiritual power and activating the Eye of God skill, entering a battle state. Every blade of grass and every tree within a hundred meters around him instantly appeared in his mind.

He assumed a defensive posture as planned.

"drink!"

Wang Qinian focused his energy in his dantian and roared as he approached Shen Bailian. A powerful sonic wave crashed down, making everyone's ears ring. As he drew nearer, his staff moved like a dragon, instantly becoming a black lightning bolt that roared down towards Shen Bailian.

The coiled dragon staff left behind many afterimages in the air, unpredictable and strange. In a short moment, the air currents surged and white light exploded.

That is the manifestation of air being suddenly compressed into substance.

In just a second, hundreds of afterimages appeared and instantly enveloped Shen Bailian.

Upon seeing this, many spectators in the stands cheered excitedly, some even standing up in excitement, while many martial arts students remained calmly seated.

Thousands of miles away, many high school students in Bozhou City were sweating bullets for Shen Bailian, this legendary senior.

Because their strength was still relatively low, even Gao Lei and the others' physical fitness was only around six points. With their eyesight, they simply couldn't keep up with that terrifying speed.

"Wow!"

"Rip! Rip!"

In just a moment, Shen Bailian's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. His footsteps changed constantly, like a gentle spring breeze, but the Dragon Slayer in his hand was shaking violently, like a raging dragon drawing amazing arcs in the air.

The surrounding void seemed to be torn apart, but Shen Bailian and the other person understood that it was just a manifestation of the surging air currents.

"Qiang! Qiang! Qiang!"

The sword and the staff collided rapidly in mid-air, like two bolts of lightning, one black and one white. In a short moment, they collided hundreds of times, with countless lights and shadows intertwining and enveloping the two figures.

Shen Bailian felt his blood surging. He knew that if he continued fighting like this, he would inevitably be drawn into the opponent's rhythm, and he had to find a way to break the deadlock.

Just a moment.

"Yan!"

A crisp sound suddenly rang out on the arena, like the violent clash of metal and stone, shaking the very soul.

Shen Bailian's primal force surged, and with each strike, the Dragon Slayer trembled violently. The surrounding primal force instantly enveloped the Dragon Slayer, as if the sound of a dragon's roar echoed within it, or as if a fierce tiger was howling.

Wang Qinian frowned slightly, because he suddenly felt that after that crisp sound, the power transmitted from the Panlong Staff suddenly increased by 20% to 30%.

It is the realm where all things breathe!

Clang!
Wang Qinian was currently in a state of combat, and his senses were exceptionally sharp. With the collision, the Panlong Staff vibrated abnormally, and he felt his forehead tighten, as if it was about to be pierced by some sharp weapon.

He was horrified. He was already surprised enough that he hadn't managed to take down the freshman in such a short time. He was filled with fear and instinctively shifted his body to the side.

Whoosh!
With a soft sound, he felt a burning sensation in his temples. A dazzling golden light flashed past his ear, and some strands of hair broke off, emitting a burnt smell.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
Shen Bailian's strength surged, his qi settled in his dantian, his muscles bulged like tightly twisted steel wire, veins popped on his forehead, and he roared. Zhanlong was like a raging golden dragon, continuously slashing out golden blade energy.

In a mere instant, dozens of golden blade energies shot towards Wang Qinian, forcing him to slow his attack. He used his coiled dragon staff to shatter the blade energies while simultaneously using his movement techniques to dodge them.

"Rumble--"

The entire arena was instantly filled with dazzling golden blade light. Wherever the blade energy went, not a blade of grass grew. Even a boulder as tall as a person was instantly cleaved with a smooth cut by the blade energy.

For a moment, the audience in the stands fell silent. Shen Bailian was actually dominating Wang Qinian?!
However, it only lasted for a second.

A deafening roar of cheers erupted from the stands. A victory against overwhelming odds is always a captivating event, especially when a freshman is actually dominating the martial arts prodigy of Qingcheng Martial Arts University.

This kind of thing is unheard of.

However, the layman watches the excitement while the expert watches the details.

The other martial arts students from the martial arts university could all see that this could not cause effective damage to Wang Qinian. Knives and sticks are melee weapons, and ordinary martial artists in the Transcendent Realm cannot reach the level of subtlety.

Therefore, unleashing a blade of energy is nothing short of a futile effort that wastes both physical strength and primal force.

The only advantage Shen Bailian had in doing this, besides wasting his own energy, was that it could buy time before his defeat.

237 VIP Room.

"Haoran." Han Tiemei looked at Wang Haoran beside her with excitement and said with a smile, "You guessed right, that guy really didn't use his full strength at the beginning."

"Now is not the time to celebrate." Wang Haoran's gaze was solemn as he silently watched the chilling blade energy emanating from the arena, and he said in a deep voice:

"Wang Qinian is arrogant, but he is not stupid. If Shen Xuedi cannot deliver a fatal blow to him next, then there is basically no chance of winning."

Boom! Boom, boom, boom!

When Shen Bailian unleashed his sword energy, his consciousness sank, his internal organs trembled violently, and his blood surged forth like a long river.

Carrying the small amounts of primal force within the cells, it flowed into the limbs, bones, flesh, and even the cells themselves.

Wow!
Countless trickles converge into a surging river, eventually flowing into an ocean of power, where strength continuously increases and surpasses the past.

200 tons, 210 tons, 230 tons...

And at the same time.

The Dragon Gate Seed within Shen Bailian's body also began to circulate rapidly, gradually forming a vortex of Yuan Power around him. Along with the surging force, it flowed to his arms and hands, and finally covered the blade.

The Dragon Slayer Blade vibrated violently once again, as if resonating with heaven and earth, its blade emitting an extremely brilliant and dazzling golden light.

On the stands, all the spectators, though separated by thousands of meters, felt a sudden jolt in their hearts the moment they saw it.

They felt a tightness in their foreheads, as if their whole bodies were being split open. They felt much better after shifting their gaze.

Between the lightning and flint.

Shen Bailian suddenly exerted force with both legs, and in less than the blink of an eye, his speed reached an extremely terrifying level, and he was soon not far from Wang Qinian.

"Qiang! Qiang! Qiang!"

Shen Bailian's Dragon Slayer sword moved faster and faster, its dazzling golden light becoming increasingly brilliant, resulting in an attack as fierce as a storm.

Each strike was powerful and heavy, forcing Wang Qinian to use his coiled dragon staff to block it, and even interrupting his breathing rhythm for a moment.

The situation reversed instantly.

To everyone's surprise, a scene unfolded where the freshman was actually dominating the prodigy of Qingcheng Martial Arts University.

However, that's all there is to it.

Whether it was a horizontal slash, a vertical cut, or a flick, it was difficult to inflict effective damage on Wang Qinian. The opponent simply retreated like lightning, and within a few seconds, he regained his rhythm and gradually restricted Shen Bailian's offensive again.

"Truly worthy of being the greatest person in the history of Tiangang Academy." Wang Qinian was astonished as he felt the force of more than two hundred tons transmitted from the Panlong Staff.

The other party's sudden outburst had indeed put him under considerable pressure.

However, that's all there is to it.

With a physical fitness level of 19.4, even considering only the most ordinary single-arm maximum punching power, it reaches a terrifying 270 tons. Shen Bailian possesses martial arts techniques that amplify strength, and Wang Qinian is no exception.

however.

Just as Wang Qinian was about to retaliate, his gaze fell upon Shen Bailian's actions, and his pupils suddenly contracted.

That kid can actually keep unleashing his power?!
With a chilling cracking sound, Shen Bailian's eyes narrowed sharply, his five fingers joined together, gripping the hilt of the knife tightly, his muscles clenching like iron wire.

"drink!"

Shen Bailian roared, veins popping out on his forehead, and a surge of immense power poured out. He moved with his will, twisting the dragon-slaying sword in his palm and spinning it around.

The Seven Perfections forged through a Hundred Refinements – Wind and Rain from All Directions!
"boom--"

The swirling, howling wind, like a violent storm, swept across everything around it with the most domineering and brutal force. In an instant, earth and rocks flew everywhere, and dust rose in all directions.

Like a small sandstorm, it instantly blurred their vision.

This method is not a problem at all for someone in the Transcendent Realm, especially for a martial artist like Wang Qinian who has reached the late stage of the Transcendent Realm.

"Still struggling?"

Wang Qinian had extremely rich combat experience. In a flash, he thought of what Shen Bailian was going to do next. His first-stage late-stage mental power instantly enveloped the surrounding area of ​​several hundred square meters without any warning.

This also means that Wang Qinian has fully entered a state of combat readiness.

Shen Bailian took a deep breath, condensing half of his spiritual power into one. A dazzling golden light flashed in his eyes, and without hesitation, he gripped the hilt of the sword with both hands. The Dragon Slayer sword vibrated violently, and then he slashed forward fiercely.

"Qiang!"

A disdainful smile appeared on Wang Qinian's lips as he gripped the Panlong Staff tightly with both hands, placing it above him to directly block the descending Dragon Slayer.

A force of two to three hundred tons instantly broke the sound barrier and poured out, with air condensing into a tangible form on the blade, the immense power like a mountain pressing down.

boom!
The instant the knives and clubs clashed, a thunderous roar immediately followed.

Immediately afterwards, a howling sound like a storm suddenly rang out, and an invisible sound wave formed in an instant, like a small stone being thrown into a calm lake, splashing out ripples in circle after circle.

Moreover, the momentum of the immense force continued, flowing down Wang Qinian's body, causing the ground to crack in a series of spiderweb-like fissures.

The surrounding stones were instantly blasted away by the invisible shockwave, embedding themselves directly into the tree trunk with a series of muffled booms.

There was also a fist-sized rock that was closer to the two of them. In the blink of an eye, it shot out like an electromagnetic cannonball that had just been fired, and slammed into the force field shield around the arena with a bang.

It shattered into fragments of stone in an instant, exploding apart.

The terrifying scene caused all the spectators present to gasp in shock; even the aftershocks of the battle were so powerful.

If it were in the very center of the battle, even an ordinary martial artist at the Life Establishment Realm would likely be severely injured in the vicinity, which is enough to show how terrifying this power is.

Amidst the swirling air currents, the dust surrounding Shen Bailian and his companion gradually dissipated, revealing their figures once again to the audience.

"Junior brother, I have done more than enough."

Wang Qinian withstood Shen Bailian's attack. He looked at the boy who had his head slightly lowered, then suddenly grinned, revealing a mouthful of snow-white teeth.

All of a sudden.

Wang Qinian's aura suddenly changed, completely different from before, becoming extremely fierce, like a giant alligator lurking in the water, revealing its sharp and ferocious fangs, about to launch an attack.

Wang Qinian did indeed do just that. He had already done more than enough to delay until now, and he had given Tiangang Academy face. Next...

It's time to end the battle!
Wang Qinian's energy and spirit surged violently. He focused his energy in his dantian, and the primal force hidden inside his cells surged. The surrounding天地元力 (heaven and earth primal force) surged violently, and a dazzling light faintly flowed from his body.

boom!
Wang Qinian planted one foot on the ground, staring at the immense force that felt like a mountain pressing down on him, and slowly lifted himself up, preparing to send Shen Bailian flying and then counterattack.

This was an extremely easy thing for him.

however.

"Senior Brother Wang."

Shen Bailian's face flushed red, the veins on his forehead throbbed violently, and his blood surged violently. He grinned and slowly raised his head, revealing a pair of sharp, deep eyes.

Upon hearing Shen Bailian's call, Wang Qinian assumed that Shen Bailian was about to admit defeat. He impatiently sneered and subconsciously looked at the boy.

I met those eyes that were gradually becoming brighter.

However, the moment their eyes met...

boom!
Shen Bailian's eyes shone like stars, and all his spiritual power burst forth through them. Wang Qinian's spiritual ocean was almost completely undefended and was swept straight in.

The surrounding light became distorted, as if electric sparks were intertwining.

when!
Like a resounding bell, a massive amount of spiritual energy, like a depth charge, suddenly exploded in Wang Qinian's sea of ​​spiritual energy, causing it to surge violently and create towering waves.

At the same time, the primal force within Wang Qinian's body went out of control and surged irregularly within him, causing his aura to suddenly surge back.

"puff!"

Wang Qinian's face turned pale, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood mist. His energy and spirit waned, his eyes dimmed, and he lost his focus for a moment.

However, this very moment was the one that Shen Bailian had been eagerly anticipating.

His already concentrated power erupted in an instant. The golden dragon-slaying sword, like bolts of golden lightning, violently shook the air as it slashed down at Wang Qinian from all directions.

"Qiang! Qiang! Qiang!"

In an instant, amidst the crisp clash of knives and clubs, sonic booms continuously rippled outwards, ruffling the hair of Shen Bailian and his companion, revealing their eyes filled with a thirst for victory.

Although Wang Qinian temporarily lost part of his mind due to a mental attack, as a martial arts prodigy, despite his arrogance, he was by no means a mere pretty face with no substance.

Long-term training and combat experience have honed his physical instincts, enabling him to constantly defend against Shen Bailian's attacks.

Many low bushes and some rocks were shattered in the aftermath of their battle.

The audience in the stands of the entire North Wind Martial Arts Arena included first-year martial arts students from the Tiangang Academy's spiritual virtual space, high school students from Bozhou No. 3 High School, and most of the martial arts students in the late stage of the Transcendent Realm.

At this moment, everything fell silent.

Listen quietly to the sounds of knives and sticks clashing on the arena.

next moment.

"Shen Bailian!"

"Awesome! Shen Bailian!"

Suddenly, waves of cheers and exclamations erupted from the stands. The situation had indeed been reversed, and Wang Qinian looked like he was about to be defeated.

Is Wang Qinian really going to fail?

An unbelievable idea suddenly occurred to hundreds of thousands of people. Their voices converged, forming a powerful force, with shouts rising higher and higher, as if to carry the sound hundreds of miles away.

but.

The arena was surrounded by a force field shield, allowing spectators outside to clearly hear the sounds of the fight, but the two fighters inside could not hear the cheers from the outside world.

"hu~hu~"

Shen Bailian's eyes widened like copper bells, the Dragon Slayer continued to dance in the air, his chest heaved violently, and his heavy breathing sounded like a bellows being pulled.

He had been in overclocking mode for over ten seconds, but he only had a slight advantage at the beginning. He should have taken a breather to recover some strength, but he dared not relax.

Because the pressure from Wang Qinian was simply too great.

"Wang Haoran!"

"Damn it, you just wait!"

After being suddenly attacked by mental energy, and after he reacted, Wang Qinian was covered in sweat, and his back was soaked with cold sweat.

His once neat clothes were torn to shreds by the sharp blade, and traces of blood were seeping out.

After regaining his senses, Wang Qinian gradually took control of the battle. In a flash, he realized that someone he knew must have exposed his secrets.

Shen Bailian and Wang Haoran were both sent by Tiangang Academy to participate in the Golden Cup League, so the answer to who was exposing his secrets is already obvious.

……

on the rostrum.

"Oh, what a pity." Li Mingxuan watched the two fiercely fighting on the stage, his eyes filled with shock. After seeing Wang Qinian react, he said with regret:
"Wang Qinian's fighting instincts are too strong, otherwise the outcome of this battle would be hard to say."

"Indeed." Lei Zhentian's eyes were filled with the boy's voice. He turned to Cheng Shangwu beside him and asked doubtfully, "Are you sure he refused?"

"Nonsense." Cheng Shangwu rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "Do you think I, Old Cheng, am that kind of person? If Little Shen really wants to go to the Starry Sky Martial Hall, who in our Tiangang Academy would stop him?"

"His physical attributes have reached at least the mid-stage of the Transcendent Realm, and his swordsmanship comprehension has also approached the fourth level, the Subtle Realm." Yu Linglong found it somewhat unbelievable.

In terms of physical fitness, mental strength, and weapon proficiency, none of these three aspects were weak, and they far surpassed the martial arts prodigies of his time.

"He is a true top-tier martial arts prodigy. To have evolved to this level in just over ten days is truly unbelievable." Wei He's eyes revealed a hint of envy as he softly said:

"Your Tiangang Academy has really struck gold this time."

"It's still December. If he continues to grow like this, it's not impossible for him to break through to the late stage of the Transcendent Realm, or even the peak of the Transcendent Realm, before he turns eighteen."

"If he were given another month, the outcome of this battle would be very difficult to predict."

As martial artists at the peak of the Sea Opening Realm, the movements of the two on the arena appeared extremely slow in Wei He's view, and Shen Bailian had once again fallen into a disadvantageous position.

With such a short interval, the same move won't work the second time.

"We're going to lose." Cheng Shangwu was quite excited as he watched Shen Bailian's outstanding performance. She was too strong. She was only a freshman and she could do so well.

By their sophomore year, wouldn't they be able to dominate the entire Golden Cup League?

Furthermore, Tiangang Academy has a very high chance of winning first place in this year's Freshman Cup competition.

……

"Phew~" The representative from Qingcheng Martial Arts University, watching Wang Qinian gradually gain the upper hand, let out a long sigh of relief, wiped the cold sweat that had streamed down his forehead with a tissue, and murmured:

"It seems that after we get back, we really need to urge Wang Qinian to improve his mental strength. Perhaps we should prepare a set of spiritual observation techniques."

If Wang Qinian still fails to make it into the top 32 despite having the home advantage, then no matter what, he, as the team leader, will definitely have to take the blame.

……

"Interesting, he's actually that strong." Zhan Taimingyue's eyes gleamed, and without realizing it, she had focused most of her attention on Shen Bailian.

At the same time, she also felt immense pressure. If Shen Bailian continued to grow like this, he would become her formidable rival in less than a year.

However, Zhan Taimingyue felt more excited than anything else; he hadn't felt pressured among his classmates for a long time.

"I hope you can grow up quickly."

For top martial arts prodigies, the fear is not having stronger peers, but having no rivals among their peers. If this continues, their growth rate will slow down.

Just like Wang Qinian, although his physical abilities are stronger than Wang Haoran's, he has no rivals among his peers at Qingcheng Martial Arts University.

As a result, a weakness arose in his mental strength, which even Wang Haoran was able to exploit to briefly achieve a draw with Wang Qinian.

……

In the arena.

Wang Qinian had decided to go all out. His figure tumbled and rolled continuously. His movements were agile and powerful. The staff drew sharp trajectories in the air, making a series of "clang! clang! clang!" metallic clanging sounds, like the roar of a dragon and the howl of a tiger, which was awe-inspiring.

With each swing of his staff, the surrounding天地元力 (heaven and earth energy) surged, and the dragon patterns on the staff seemed to come alive, shimmering with brilliant light.

Each strike carried the force of thunder, as if to crush all obstacles under the coiled dragon staff.

The battle has been going on for more than a minute.

Having fought a freshman for so long and almost being defeated, if he really lost, Wang Qinian would truly be nailed to the pillar of shame!
Shen Bailian was forced to retreat step by step amidst the howling wind. He found that his tiger's mouth was about to split open, with blood dripping down. The opponent's strength was simply too great.

If this continues, defeat is inevitable in the near future!

"Then let's see who's stronger." Shen Bailian hardened his heart. Using the recoil from the collision of the sword and staff, he flew into the air amidst the "bang bang bang" explosions, shattering many rocks beneath his feet.

With a chilling aura, Wang Qinian showed no mercy, becoming even more ferocious than a beast as he charged at Shen Bailian once more, determined to defeat him completely in one fell swoop.

Swish!
To everyone's surprise, Zhanlong vanished from Shen Bailian's grasp in an instant. He shook his hands and moved like a gentle breeze, steadily approaching Wang Qinian.

"You look down on me?!"

Seeing the other party's behavior, Wang Qinian's already bad mood instantly turned into anger. In the blink of an eye, the Panlong Staff was stored in his storage ring.

Rumble!
In an instant, Wang Qinian unleashed a terrifying aura, his eyes shot out two beams of light, his internal organs resonated violently, and his entire body seemed to be enveloped in a halo. His speed increased again, reaching its limit.

A punch, a kick, a weapon, and a sound are compulsory courses for martial arts students at the Great Xia Martial Arts University, and are also the focus of examinations every semester, all in order to cultivate well-rounded martial artists with no weaknesses.

They can maintain their combat effectiveness in any environment. Even if they lose their weapons or have broken arms and legs, they can still have the ability to protect themselves and delay the arrival of reinforcements.

At worst, one can commit suicide.

Bang bang bang!
Shen Bailian avoided the direct confrontation and struck Wang Qinian's body from the side. Although Wang Qinian's agility was relatively weak, his strength was simply too great, making him somewhat unbeatable.

The situation was quite critical. Shen Bailian was sent flying several times in the continuous collisions, but fortunately, the competition was now about fist and foot skills, and with the Iron Body skill, things were much better than before.

"Something's wrong."

Wang Qinian had been dominating Shen Bailian, but after some contact, he discovered that the other's physical strength was far too high, even stronger than his own.

Although Shen Bailian was repeatedly repelled, the damage he caused did not meet Wang Qinian's expectations.

It's so outrageous.

This unusual situation immediately put Wang Qinian on his guard.

There is weirdness.

There's definitely something fishy about this!
Sudden.

"Click~"

Wang Qinian was just about to focus some of his attention on his storage ring, ready to take out the Panlong Staff at any moment, when he heard a faint cracking sound.

This situation filled him with joy. He had broken through, and without realizing it, he had completely regarded Shen Bailian as an opponent of equal strength, so he was fully immersed in the battle.

And it broke through 0.2 levels at once, with its physical attributes upgrading from level 19.4 to level 19.6!
The single-arm punching power has increased by another 30 tons!
"Damn!" Shen Bailian's perception of power was now exceptionally sharp. After sensing the opponent's increased power, he couldn't help but complain, "Isn't this the treatment only protagonists get?"

Tucao returns to Tucao.

dong dong!dong dong!
His heart was beating so powerfully that, with each punch, the blood in Shen Bailian's body was surging forth like a long river, and a surge of surging energy continuously gathered and converged within his body.

His power was steadily increasing at a slow and steady pace.

Amidst the violent roar, Wang Qinian seemed to be retreating slightly, a sight that once again silenced the audience in the stands.

Aside from the increasingly heavy breathing of hundreds of thousands of people, there was no other sound; it was as if one could hear a pin drop.

Aside from the opening ceremony, this was the longest period of silence ever recorded at the North Wind Martial Arts Arena.

Even the many martial arts university representatives on the podium were stunned, holding their breath and quietly watching this historic moment.

Today's battle on the arena has truly shattered their understanding. They had already reviewed Wang Qinian's information when the battle began.

He truly deserves to be called a martial arts prodigy!

Opposite Wang Qinian was a freshman martial arts student—a freshman who had only been enrolled for a little over half a semester!

In the minds of some of them, such a battle with such a disparity in strength would last at most a minute, and that was only on the basis that Wang Qinian was willing to give face to the Tiangang Academy.

However, the battle has now lasted for several minutes, and the process has been full of twists and turns, with Shen Bailian even gaining the upper hand on several occasions.

Although it lasted a short time, it is an undeniable fact.

"Can you win?"

Cheng Shangwu originally didn't have high hopes for this battle, but as the situation developed, Shen Bailian seemed to be on the verge of victory.

He had witnessed the terrifying burst of power from Shen Bailian's move, which amplified his strength by at least two times. If it could really hit, he might actually have a chance to win!
Cheng Shangwu stood up involuntarily, his breathing became heavy, and his palms were covered in sweat.

The other teachers were the same, not daring to breathe loudly, their eyes wide open, all their attention focused on the boy.

A top-tier genius, absolutely a top-tier genius, even approaching the level of an unparalleled genius!

"Too, too... too strong."

Wang Haoran, Han Tiemei, and Li Hao were all shocked. They felt their throats tighten and couldn't utter a complete sentence.

Even Lu Yingzi, who had been relaxed, turned into an extremely serious one, her gaze fixed intently on the boy.

……

As time passed, Shen Bailian and Wang Qinian moved swiftly, leaving behind afterimages, like shadow clones, accompanied by a series of thunderous sounds.

In the midst of such a fierce battle, the [Heavenly Qi] skill also entered its final form – Earth-Shattering Strike.

All of a sudden.

Shen Bailian's body trembled violently, and his strength instantly increased by 2.5 times, raising his maximum single-arm punching power from 200 tons to 500 tons.

Is it strong? Yes, it's very strong!
Before the fist was even thrown, Shen Bailian's aura changed instantly, the surrounding air churned violently, and a gale howled.

Is that enough? No, it's not!
To achieve a fatal blow, this amount of power alone is not enough.

Shen Bailian knew that his stamina was now less than half, which would inevitably slow him down, so he needed even greater strength.

A power powerful enough to shatter everything!

"what!!!"

Shen Bailian fought desperately, his internal organs trembling violently. The primordial energy of heaven and earth continuously gathered on his right arm. His internal organs, which had undergone multiple transformations, were slowly cracking, and his physical body showed signs of collapse.

Furthermore, the body, which had not been seriously injured in the multiple collisions, was now like a fragile piece of porcelain, with cracks appearing and spreading rapidly, as if it would shatter at any moment.

The intense pain caused Shen Bailian's eyes to widen, his face to contort in extreme pain, and a trickle of bright red blood to seep from the corner of his mouth.

A fourfold increase, with a single-arm punch reaching a maximum force of 800 tons! This surpasses the power of the Transcendent Realm.

The Seven Perfections of Refinement – ​​Accelerator!

……

"Quick!" The lean, muscular referee standing in the void felt a sudden jolt of pain as he sensed the powerful surge of energy and exclaimed, "Inject Tier 3 Longevity Fluid into the advanced medical pod!"

That's not the kind of power a Transcendent Realm martial artist should possess.

……

The situation can change in an instant.

Wang Qinian saw a fist, as big as a cannonball, constantly enlarging in his pupils, followed by a whistling sound like thunder.

It's right next to my ear, right within my reach.

This power, this speed, instantly broke the sound barrier; the air surged and compressed rapidly in front of the fist, like a flashbang.

Wang Qinian had anticipated Shen Bailian's unusual behavior, but feeling that terrifying power still made his scalp tingle. In the blink of an eye, the Panlong Staff appeared in his hand.

While dodging to the side, use the coiled dragon staff to block.

"boom!!!"

The instant the Panlong Staff collided with Shen Bailian's iron fist, a dazzling white light was unleashed—it was air compressed to its limit and light distorted.

A fierce gust of wind erupted from the point of impact between the two, sweeping outwards and engulfing everything in its path. Leaves on trees a hundred meters away rustled in the wind.

"what!!!"

Wang Qinian roared in agony as he watched his right arm rapidly disappear in a pale light, and intense pain instantly engulfed his entire body.

"Crack!"

In just a moment, chilling cracks appeared on the bloodless white bones and rapidly spread towards the arm bone.

boom!
With a crisp sound, Wang Qinian's right arm shattered, and his body flew backward, crashing onto a small hillside.

The Panlong Staff, like a sharp arrow, crashed into the intermediate force field shield hundreds of meters away with a roar, causing the shield to ripple with pale blue light.

boom!
Once the obstruction was removed, the powerful beam cannon was no longer hindered, and a pale fist continued to roar towards Shen Bailian's front, instantly shattering all obstacles, bushes, and boulders.

From the referee's perspective high above, Shen Bailian's path was blasted open by his dazzling fist wind, stretching for hundreds of meters.

One strike, and one side is clear!

All the audience members in the room fell silent.

Is this... is this really an attack that a Transcendent Realm martial artist could unleash?
Using his remaining mental energy, Shen Bailian activated his Eye of God, which quickly scanned the area and discovered that apart from losing an arm, Wang Qinian's other injuries were not very serious.

"Well, I tried my best."

A final thought flashed through Shen Bailian's mind, his vision turned crimson, and then blood gushed from his seven orifices. His body shattered like broken porcelain, and he was about to collapse to the ground.

but.

In his swirling field of vision, he saw Cheng Shangwu rushing down from high above, his bald head gleaming blindingly in the sunlight.

Then, the familiar darkness surged in like a tide.
