High Martial Arts: Liver Becomes the Master of the Universe

Chapter 108 Battle with Feng Ruyun
"Even stronger than the newly promoted Gold Standard Human Level III!"

"This is a level that is... outside the textbooks."

He took a deep breath.

If we say that the gold standard for humanity, Level III, represents the limit of the human species within the existing theoretical framework, then…

So now, he has already broken this limit!

He felt like a giant cosmic beast that had just hatched and was still in the embryonic development stage.

Although its strength is still very weak, the essence of life is already completely different!

"I need to test what level my current strength has reached."

Suppressing his shock, Qin Feng immediately made a decision.

The most intuitive and effective way to detect something is always the same – fight!
Turn on the wrist device again to prepare to enter the private network.

Qin Feng discovered that his application to be promoted to senior high school had been approved.

[Dear Qin Feng, your application for promotion has been approved. Your current grade is Senior Three.]

Your private network permissions have been automatically switched to: Senior Three Private Domain.

Private domain for senior high school students.

This place brings together the most outstanding and powerful group of geniuses from the entire Qiming No.1 High School.

Each one of them is an extremely formidable senior student.

A burning fighting spirit ignited in Qin Feng's eyes, and he immediately pressed the matchmaking button.

[Matching you with an opponent...]

[Senior High School Private Domain.]

[Matching scope: All senior high school students.]

The wait was longer than ever before.

Nearly half a minute passed before the cold, detached notification tone finally sounded.

【Successful match! 】

The scene changes the next second.

Qin Feng appeared on a more magnificent arena, designed in the style of an ancient Roman colosseum, filled with an aura of iron-bloodedness and grim determination.

Opposite him, a tall and imposing figure slowly materialized.

The man held a long-handled horse-slaying sword, and exuded a terrifying aura.

When Qin Feng saw the other person's face clearly, his eyes narrowed slightly.

He recognized that face.

Right next to Sun He.

As the thought flashed through his mind, information about his opponent also appeared clearly before everyone's eyes.

Name: Feng Ruyun

Vitality Index: 30.14

[Killing Techniques: Blazing Blade (Mastered), Iron Wall Fist (Mastered), Raging Wave Blade (Minor Mastery)]

On the magnificent arena, reminiscent of the ancient Roman Colosseum, as Feng Ruyun's figure froze completely, his sharp gaze immediately locked onto Qin Feng opposite him.

A clear look of surprise flashed across his face.

"Qin Feng?"

He recognized the newcomer who had just caused a huge stir among the senior students.

"You've moved up to your senior year of high school?"

Feng Ruyun was somewhat surprised.

In just a few days, he has already crossed the 20.0 vitality index threshold and entered the realm of senior high school students?
This speed is indeed a bit strange.

However, despite her surprise, Feng Ruyun felt a strong sense of interest.

He also wanted to try it out for himself and see just how capable this junior, whom Sun He described as "abnormal," really was.

He didn't say anything more, but slowly took the horse-slaying sword from behind his back, held it with one hand, and pointed the tip of the sword diagonally at the ground.

A terrifying aura, like a raging storm, suddenly erupted from his body!
Name: Feng Ruyun

Grade: Senior 3 (Class 1)

Vitality Index: 30.14

[Killing Techniques: Blazing Blade (Perfected), Iron Wall Fist Technique (Perfected), Raging Wave Blade Technique (Minor Success)]

At the same time, Qin Feng also saw the other party's panel.

A vitality index of 30.14! A standard level three martial artist!
Two fully mastered killing techniques, and one partially mastered killing technique!
Qin Feng's heart sank instantly.

This will be an overwhelming battle he has never experienced before.

But the fighting spirit in his eyes only increased.

How can one know the gap between oneself and others, and see the road ahead, without sparring with truly strong opponents?
He gripped the spear tightly, raising his aura to its peak.

The battle suddenly broke out the instant the two sides locked eyes!

Feng Ruyun was the first to launch an attack!

The ground beneath his feet trembled violently, and he transformed into a blurry afterimage, instantly traversing a distance of tens of meters.

The horse-slaying sword in his hand had no fancy techniques whatsoever; it was simply brought down in the purest and most domineering way!

Before the blade even arrived, the sharp wind from it already created a piercing whistling sound in the air!

This strike seemed poised to cleave the entire arena in two!
Qin Feng's pupils suddenly contracted.

Too fast! So fast that his dynamic vision could barely keep up!
That's too powerful! The sheer pressure of that pure power made him feel as if he were facing a collapsing mountain!

He didn't even have time to use any fancy moves; he could only rely on his fighting instincts, holding the spear above his head and using all his strength to take the blow head-on!
[A thousand troops surround and protect!]
"clang--!!!!"

A deafening metallic bang, loud enough to tear eardrums, echoed throughout the entire venue!
Qin Feng felt an irresistible, terrifying force, like the bombardment of a starship's main cannon, emanating from the gun.

His arms went numb instantly, and the space between his thumb and forefinger was shattered, bleeding profusely.

As if struck by a high-speed train, he was thrown backward uncontrollably, his feet carving two deep furrows into the alloy floor!

Just one blow!
His defenses were almost completely broken!
However, Feng Ruyun's attacks were like a continuous wave, giving him no chance to catch his breath.

Before Qin Feng could regain his footing, Feng Ruyun had already caught up like a shadow. He abandoned his saber, and his left hand suddenly shot out, fingers spread wide, carrying a scorching aura, aiming straight for Qin Feng's face!

The true meaning of the Blazing Blade, now at its perfect state, has long been integrated into his fists and palms!

Alarm bells rang in Qin Feng's mind. He forcibly twisted his body, attempting to block with the barrel of his gun.

But Feng Ruyun was even faster than him!
The hand burning with energy suddenly changed in mid-air, transforming from a fist into a palm. At an unbelievable angle, it bypassed Qin Feng's spear and slammed into his chest!

Iron Wall Fist Technique!
"boom!"

A dull bang.

Qin Feng's light armor shattered instantly!

He was struck as if by lightning, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and his body was thrown backward once again.

Strength, speed, skill... a complete and utter domination!
While in mid-air, Qin Feng endured the excruciating pain and tried to adjust his posture to launch a counterattack.

But Feng Ruyun has already been sentenced to death.

Feng Ruyun gripped the horse-slaying saber again, crouched slightly, and then, like a fully drawn bow, sprang up suddenly, the saber in his hand drawing a brilliant yet deadly blue arc in the air!

The ultimate move of the "Raging Waves Blade Technique"—[Sea Severing]!
The blue blade of light seemed to transcend the distance of space, appearing instantly in front of Qin Feng.

All that remained in Qin Feng's eyes was that dazzling yet hopeless blue.

He didn't even have time to raise his gun to block.

Eight seconds.

From the start to the end of the battle, only eight seconds had passed.

Qin Feng's figure transformed into countless specks of light within the blue blade of light, completely dissipating.

……

In another battle preparation room in the senior high school private domain, Feng Ruyun slowly sheathed her sword and exited the private domain network.

His face showed no joy of victory, but rather a hint of contemplation.

"Eight seconds..."

He muttered to himself.

"His strength and speed are roughly equivalent to an average martial artist with 25 points of vitality. His spear technique is perfect, his defensive skills are solid, and his fighting spirit is top-notch."

"This rate of progress is indeed very fast."

Sun He's words resurfaced in Feng Ruyun's mind.

He shook his head.

"However, it is still impossible to obtain the 'Dawn Star' next year."

"The gap is too big. I probably won't even be able to beat me, let alone the monsters ranked ahead of me."

"No matter what... he won't have any hope until the year after next."

Feng Ruyun knew very well that with his two perfected killing techniques and one minor mastered killing technique, he could only barely squeeze into the top ten in the current senior year of high school.

The competition for "Rising Star" is far more brutal than anyone can imagine.

……

Private martial arts room B-17.

Qin Feng's face was somewhat pale, but his eyes were filled with an unprecedented solemnity.

Failed!

A complete and utter defeat with no suspense whatsoever!

Those eight seconds of experience were like a brand, deeply etched into his mind.

Compared to Feng Ruyun, his pride in strength, speed, and skill seemed so laughable and insignificant.

"The gap... is too big."

Qin Feng took a deep breath. Instead of feeling defeated, he felt an even stronger fighting spirit.

Without resting, he once again immersed his consciousness into the private network.

Start matching

In the second match, the opponent was a senior high school girl who used dual swords and had a vitality index of 28.9.

The battle lasted for fifteen seconds.

Qin Feng was defeated after being left with hundreds of wounds by his opponent's dazzling swordsmanship.

In the third match, the opponent was a burly man who specialized in boxing, with a vitality index of 27.5.

The battle lasted twelve seconds.

Qin Feng's spear was smashed away by the opponent's iron fists.

……

The fourth match ended in defeat.

The fifth match ended in defeat.

……

Game 32, loss.

In just one afternoon, Qin Feng suffered more than thirty consecutive defeats.

After advancing to the senior year of high school, when I tried to expand my private domain again, I lost much more miserably than when I advanced to the junior year!
At that time, although he also lost, he could occasionally hold his own against the older students who were ranked lower, thanks to his skills and experience.

Now, in the private sphere of his senior year of high school, he is almost powerless to fight back.

No battle lasts more than twenty seconds.

"Strength, speed, killing technique level, combat experience... a gap in all aspects."

Qin Feng withdrew from the private network and gained a clear understanding of the gap between himself and the top geniuses in the senior year of high school.

But he did not get discouraged.

Having a gap means having a goal to catch up with and the motivation to move forward.

He stopped the pointless private battles and retrieved the 3D tutorial video of "Advanced Imperial Body Forging Method" from Qiming No. 1 High School's internal database.
