I created an extraordinary era

Chapter 440 Shock! Gun Technique VS Wind Art
The next day.

A martial arts arena.

The morning light is faint.

The training ground was already surrounded by students who had come after hearing the news.

Not a single person from the academy was absent.

Everyone wanted to see what kind of confidence Ji Xuan had that made him dare to directly challenge Nangong Hong, who was in first place!
"Do you think Ji Xuan truly has the strength to fight Nangong Hong, or is he just back and unaware that Nangong Hong has recently broken through?"

In the crowd, Kolster couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Who knows?"

Bai Zhengyu shrugged.

Anyway, he doesn't think highly of Ji Xuan.

It's no exaggeration to say that Nangong Hong's current strength is a level above everyone else.

Even Yuan Liren, who is ranked second, can only barely fight against Nangong Hong before his breakthrough.

As for Ji Xuan...

Even with some improvement, he still couldn't compare to Nangong Hong, whose spear technique had broken through to the late stage of Ming Jin.

To put it bluntly...

It's hard to say whether I can overcome myself.

His movement technique had reached the third stage.

Even if Ji Xuan's boxing skills reach the late stage of Ming Jin, the outcome is still uncertain.

As the fifth-ranked person on the current list, Bai Zhengyu has this confidence.

In fact, the top ten people on the list all share the same thoughts as Bai Zhengyu.

Do you really think they haven't made any progress during this time?
Moreover, Ji Xuan challenged Nangong Hong as soon as he appeared. Isn't that a bit too disrespectful to us?

Just as everyone was whispering among themselves.

Nangong Hong's figure appeared in everyone's sight.

His blood and energy surged throughout his body, yet his entire being exuded an indescribable sharpness.

Like a sharp blade ready to be drawn at any moment, it inspires awe even before it is fully drawn.

"Could it be that there has been another breakthrough?"

I saw Nangong Hong's condition.

Everyone thought of this possibility without prior agreement.

In fact it is.

Nangong Hong just broke through to the peak of the fifth level of Body Tempering yesterday.

That's why it's showing such a powerful aura at this moment.

After a while.

Another figure slowly approached.

He was dressed in white, his steps steady.

It was Ji Xuan, whom I hadn't seen for a long time.

However, compared to the sharp and shrewd Nangong Hong just now, Ji Xuan seemed quite ordinary at this moment.

But if you look closely, you'll notice that as he walks, the air around him is invisibly dissipating in all directions.

This was not something Ji Xuan deliberately controlled.

Instead, it is through the entry of the concept of wind that he resonates with the surrounding airflow!
However, those who were only at the Body Tempering Realm were naturally unaware of this scene.

Even Nangong Hong was the same.

Only Li Qingxuan, who was standing at a distance, could clearly sense it.

Ji Xuan stopped and looked up at Nangong Hong in front of him.

"Awaited!"

"Are you sure you want to challenge me?"

Nangong Hong stood with his hands behind his back, seemingly not taking Ji Xuan seriously at all.

How will you know if you don't try?

Ji Xuan smiled calmly.

As he spoke, a subtle elegance quietly gathered at his fingertips.

This wind appeared along with it.

Nangong Hong instinctively felt a sense of vigilance.

Ji Xuan now is completely different from before.

The other person standing there gave me a faint sense of danger.

This is an instinctive intuition.

Previously, the only person who could give him this intuition was Dean Li.

As for the progenitor, there's no need to elaborate.

It wasn't a feeling of danger at all, but rather a feeling of being like an ant.

There is absolutely no comparison.

"Very good, it seems you really are different!"

A gleam of light flashed in Nangong Hong's eyes.

Previously, both Yuan Liren, who ranked second, and Sikong Yang, who ranked third, were ranked first.

He didn't take any of them seriously.

But even now, that long-lost feeling has surged back into my heart.

This even made his blood boil!
Those around them heard this.

They all frowned.

If Nangong Hong said that, it absolutely proves that Ji Xuan does indeed have the strength to fight him.

Otherwise, given his personality, he would never have said such a thing.

"Could it be that Ji Xuan has really made such great progress during this period of time?"

"Is it progress in martial arts? Or is it the wind-related concept he mentioned in his previous insights?"

Just as everyone was pondering this...

The two had already jumped onto the training ground.

Nangong Hong held the gun in one hand, the tip pointing diagonally at the ground, his gaze cold.

"Show me your strength, and I hope you can give me a good fight!"

“I won’t let you down!”

On the other side, Ji Xuan also took a deep breath.

Although he had already grasped the basics of the Wind's essence, the aura emanating from Nangong Hong at this moment still made him dare not be careless in the slightest.

The spear technique of the late Ming Jin stage is not something to be taken lightly.

This means that Nangong Hong's control over his own Qi and blood is about to reach perfection!
"start!"

As Li Qingxuan's voice faded away.

Nangong Hong stopped talking nonsense.

He took a step forward, his spear like a dragon, thrusting straight at Ji Xuan opposite him.

Before the gun even arrived, a strong gust of wind had already hit them.

Even the air itself was pierced by a sharp whistling sound!

"What a powerful explosive power!"

The expressions of everyone in the audience changed.

No one present was confident they could withstand Nangong Hong's shot.

On the stage.

Ji Xuan also made a move!
He instantly raised his hand, a wisp of breeze swirling around him, attempting to deflect the gun.

"boom!"

Nangong Hong's spear was as strong as iron.

The moment the gun came into contact with the air currents gathered by Ji Xuan, it immediately produced a piercing sound.

however--

The two forces were locked in a stalemate for less than a second before the wind barrier shattered instantly!

The next moment, the spear tip was aimed directly at Ji Xuan's chest.

Ji Xuan's expression changed involuntarily.

The power unleashed by the opponent's shot exceeded his expectations.

At the critical moment, a wisp of air appeared beside him again.

Using this thrust, Ji Xuan managed to turn sideways.

But the other side's gun was too fast!

Even though Ji Xuan reacted quickly, the tip of the spear still grazed his arm, leaving a bloody mark!
"I've only just begun to grasp the essence of wind; I can't fully master it yet..."

Ji Xuan couldn't help but give a bitter smile to himself.

"Is this all you have?"

Nangong Hong put away his gun and shook his head in disappointment.

He originally thought Ji Xuan was very strong.

But he never expected that he would almost miss his own shot.

Moreover, he held back a bit when he fired that shot just now.

If he had used his full strength, Ji Xuan might have already lost!

However, the people in the audience had a completely different opinion from Nangong Hong.

No one laughed at Ji Xuan for almost losing to Nangong Hong.

On the contrary, they were all deeply shaken at this moment.

Everyone clearly saw the power that Ji Xuan had just used.

That wind barrier that formed in an instant was definitely not a martial art.

"Is this the essence of wind?"

Bai Zhengyu murmured in a daze.

He never expected that Ji Xuan would actually succeed!

Moreover, the opponent's control over the wind element is not weak.

No one could have taken that shot from Nangong head-on.

Ji Xuan was able to hold out for a short while, thus creating an opportunity to dodge.

That's already incredibly impressive!

If Nangong Hong had possessed such strength before his breakthrough, he might have actually had a chance to win.

No wonder he dared to challenge Nangong Hong directly.

However, Nangong Hong's spear technique has now broken through to the late stage of Ming Jin.

"Pity!"

Everyone couldn't help but sigh.
However, despite being injured, Ji Xuan on stage still did not choose to admit defeat.

"Humph!"

Seeing this, Nangong Hong no longer chose to hold back.

His next swing of the gun was suddenly more ferocious than before.

next moment.

The spear shadows rained down like a storm, each strike carrying the terrifying penetrating power of a late-stage Ming Jin expert, heading straight for Ji Xuan. Seeing this, Ji Xuan retreated hastily, his hands also flailing wildly.

The airflow formed a weak vortex around him, barely dissipating some of the force of the spear.

However, Nangong Hong's gun was too fast and too powerful!
"Bang! Boom! Boom!"

Three spear thrusts landed in quick succession on Ji Xuan's chest, shoulder, and side, staining his clothes with blood!

"Admit defeat. This level of power can't even stop my gun!"

On the other side, Ji Xuan was covered in blood, and his breathing became increasingly heavy.

But his gaze grew increasingly sharp.

It must be admitted that Nangong Hong is indeed very strong.

but.
"The real battle is only just beginning!"

Ji Xuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, revealing his teeth stained red with blood.

Upon hearing this, Nangong Hong snorted coldly.

He's just being stubborn.

There's no need to continue this battle!
"Guanhong!"

The words fell.

His vital energy also erupted completely.

At this moment, Nangong Hong finally used his most powerful move.

"End it!"

Accompanied by a loud shout.

The tip of the gun sliced ​​through the air like lightning.

Ji Xuan, however, moved just as quickly.

Suddenly, he raised his right hand.

The airflow instantly condensed around his right hand.

In an instant, a whirlwind formed and swept towards the incoming spear.

"boom--!"

Accompanied by a roar.

Nangong Hong's spear tip pierced the whirlwind in an instant.

However, this time, Nangong Hong's gun failed to penetrate it as it had before.

Instead, it was as if they were stuck in a quagmire.

At this moment, Nangong Hong felt the force of the spear tip being dissipated layer by layer.

next moment.

"Order it to me!!!"

A loud shout rang out.

The wind pressure also suddenly contracted at this moment.

A shocking scene occurred.

Nangong Hong's spear was frozen in mid-air!

"what?!"

Nangong Hong's pupils suddenly contracted.

How can this be?

But before he could react...

Ji Xuan suddenly charged forward.

The whirlwind on his right hand changed shape in an instant.

A spiraling wind blade burst forth from his palm, striking directly at Nangong Hong's chest!
The essence of wind erupts completely at this moment!

"not good!"

Nangong Hong hastily parried with his spear.

However, Ji Xuan's wind blades were not brute force, but rather the strangulation of countless fine air currents!

Sudden.

Nangong Hong's spear shaft trembled, and his tiger's mouth cracked.

He finally let out a muffled groan, was blasted back several feet, and knelt on one knee!
When he looked up again, a blade of wind was already pressed against his forehead.
The outcome is decided!

……

There was silence.

Looking at Ji Xuan, who was still surrounded by air currents on the stage, some people couldn't help but swallow.

this moment.

Everyone felt a sense of unreality.

How could someone as powerful as Nangong Hong be defeated?
"How can this be?"

To be honest, before this challenge even started...

No one expected it to end like this.

However, the strength that Ji Xuan just displayed truly moved everyone.

It was just a whirlwind, yet it was able to freeze Nangong Hong's spear.

Such strength far exceeded their understanding.

"The power of the wind's essence is actually this strong?"

"Is this the power of the laws of heaven and earth?"

Sikong Yang muttered to himself in a low voice.

Ji Ruxue, standing to the side, wore a complicated expression.

My arrogant senior brother actually lost?
"This little guy, he didn't seem to be able to do this yesterday."

"Is this the method of application that I learned during the battle just now?"

far away.

Li Qingxuan's eyes flickered slightly.

Yesterday, Ji Xuan couldn't even condense a wind blade!
Such talent is undeniably remarkable.

However, Nangong Hong's strength is not weak either.

If he had used his full strength from the start, Ji Xuan probably wouldn't have had much of a chance.

He was just too confident!

Hopefully, this defeat will teach him a lesson!

Li Qingxuan shook his head.

For a genius like Nangong Hong, failing once might not be a bad thing.

On the stage.

Nangong Hong stared blankly ahead.

I actually lost?
For a moment, he couldn't even accept this outcome.

Just when everyone thought that Nangong Hong might not be able to accept this blow.

A loud laugh instantly echoed throughout the surrounding area.

"Hahaha"

"Has this guy gone mad?"

Seeing this scene, everyone had their own thoughts.

Some geniuses possess incredible mental fortitude before experiencing failure.

But once they experience failure, they will collapse instantly.

Moreover, the most outstanding geniuses are often the least able to accept failure.

Nangong Hong is very likely in this situation now.

But in fact, Nangong Hong is not what everyone thinks.

He was genuinely excited.

In the past, he thought that these so-called geniuses could never catch up with him.

But now, he has found a worthy opponent.

Admittedly, I underestimated my opponent this time.

But wasn't this something he did on purpose?
In fact, Nangong Hong could tell that Ji Xuan was not very proficient in mastering the essence of wind at the beginning.

That's why I didn't use my full strength.

He disdained to defeat Ji Xuan, who was unable to unleash his full potential.

This is his pride.

Even if he fails because of this, he will not regret it!

Moreover, although he lost the battle, he witnessed a higher level of power.

Before long, his marksmanship may undergo another transformation.

"……I lost."

"However, this is the only time you've ever beaten me!"

A moment later, Nangong Hong stood up, left a sentence, and left without looking back.

Ji Xuan smiled.

He gently exhaled a breath of stale air.

The wind around me gradually dissipated.

This guy is really confident.

However, to be honest, his victory over Nangong Hong this time was indeed a fluke.

But Ji Xuan also gained a lot from this battle.

Under pressure from Nangong Hong, he gradually discovered the true use of the Wind's Essence.

That's definitely not just about manipulating airflow.

"Perhaps, only by integrating artistic conception and martial arts can one truly unleash their full potential."

After this battle, he will truly begin to explore the deeper applications of the Law of Wind.

……

After the battle ended, the crowd gradually dispersed.

But everyone is under tremendous pressure.

They were initially quite satisfied with their progress.

But after this battle, it was completely destroyed.

Putting aside Nangong Hong's abilities.

Ji Xuan, who had disappeared for several months, suddenly reappeared and instantly topped the combat power rankings.

His mastery of the wind technique was so strong that it could even block Nangong Hong's spear, let alone others!
And then there are those incredibly powerful wind blades.

It can be said that Ji Xuan is now invincible in both attack and defense.

We must become stronger!

Sikong Yang gripped the hilt of his sword tightly.

Although he is currently in fourth place.

But compared to the two people in front of him, the gap is still too big!
