Gao Wu: My martial arts technique has entries.

Chapter 8 Winning streak
The ranking matches in Tianheng City were quick, and Chu Kuang completed four matches in a row, winning each one with great ease, which directly improved his ranking by more than 20,000 places.

【Chu Kuang】

[School: Tianheng No.3 Middle School]

[Ranking: 56328]

[Wins 5: Losses 0]

[Win rate: 100%]

"The strength of the four people behind them seems to be much weaker than that of Su Ling."

After defeating his opponent once again, Chu Kuang felt something strange.

Su Ling, who was in front, was still able to react and barely managed to hold her sword to block his attack. Although she couldn't block his spear, she managed to withstand it, but she was killed in one blow because of the disadvantage of the thin sword.

The others were too weak; they were killed by Chu Kuang in one blow before they could even react.

"The advanced cultivation techniques of these individuals have all stopped at the minor mastery stage, and their life level is estimated to be no more than level 4.8."

Chu Kuang's mind raced, and then he opened the rankings again, only to find that the information in front of him had changed slightly.

"You have now won five consecutive matches. The system has assessed that your strength far exceeds your current ranking and will match you with a higher-level opponent."

"Match successful".

With the match successful, Chu Kuang was teleported to a circular arena.

The moment he landed, Chu Kuang saw a burly figure appear in front of him, standing over two meters tall and as strong as a bear.

At the same time, phantoms appeared one after another on the stands around the arena, revealing a group of young boys and girls watching the battle.

"This Li Manzi spends all his time in ranked matches, and he's caught another player on a five-game winning streak."

"Haha, this kid has a five-game winning streak, he might have a chance to break into the top 10,000, but his winning streak will only end when he meets Li Manzi."

A murmur of discussion arose from all around, causing Chu Kuang to furrow his brow slightly.

He looked up at the imposing figure before him and saw the illusory light screen above the figure's head.

【Li Yong】

[School: Tianheng No.4 Middle School]

[Ranking: 8762]

[Wins 47: Losses 26]

[Win rate: 64%]

"With over seventy games played and a 64% win rate, he seems to be quite strong."

Chu Kuang's heart stirred slightly, but he didn't think too much about it.

The fact that he played more than 70 matches and still couldn't break into the top 3,000 proves that his opponent has reached a bottleneck. Most of the 26 losses were probably after he broke into the top 10,000.

This level of strength is certainly not weak. If it were placed in Class 7 of Grade 1 at their No. 3 Middle School, it would probably rank among the top five or even third in the class.

However, Chu Kuang was aiming for the top 3,000, so he wouldn't be intimidated by a mere 8,000th place.

"The kid from No. 3 Middle School."

"Chu Kuang, your name is pretty arrogant, but I wonder if you're as arrogant as I am."

Just then, Li Yong on the other side chuckled and scratched his head, saying, "Looks like you're pretty good. Then let me have a good fight with you."

When the countdown ended, Li Yong, wielding a spiked club, lunged forward like a savage bear, smashing it towards Chu Kuang.

"The Wild Bear Stick Technique?"

Chu Kuang frowned slightly. His opponent, who was over two meters tall and wielded a spiked club half a foot thick, was clearly someone who relied on brute force to defeat his enemies.

Moreover, the Wild Bear Staff Technique is powerful and imposing, and directly withstanding this attack would be too disadvantageous.

However, he did not avoid its sharp edge. He simply took a small step back, casually placing his spear on the ground, and faced the overwhelming force of the attack head-on.

"boom--"

With a loud bang, the opponent's blow was like a hammer striking an iron nail, driving the spear a full foot deep into the stone slab.

"It's now."

Using the stone slab to deflect the blow, Chu Kuang instantly kicked out, aiming a powerful kick at the opponent's waist and abdomen.

At that very moment, Li Yong suddenly grinned, revealing his bright white teeth, and said, "You've fallen for my trap!"

"Buzz!"

In an instant, Li Yong threw away his spiked club and lunged at Chu Kuang with both fists.

In that instant, Chu Kuang felt Li Yong pounce on him like a wild bear, with an invincible aura trying to suppress him.

"Brutal Bear Fist, Great Perfection!"

Chu Kuang frowned slightly. The Savage Bear Fist was a beginner-level fist technique. This fist technique was best suited for close combat. In close combat, it was like a savage bear pouncing, and it often had a great suppressive effect when fighting an enemy.

If you are not careful, even if your life level is slightly higher than his, you may still be quickly suppressed and defeated by his relentless attacks.

The opponent used a spiked club to attack, clearly intending to make him careless and create an opportunity for the opponent to close in and defeat him.

"He seems honest and simple, but he is quite cunning."

"Unfortunately, in the face of absolute strength, boxing skills are merely icing on the cake."

Chu Kuang instantly understood. Instead of retreating, he put all his strength into this kick, sending it hurtling towards him with all his might.

This kick was powerful and heavy, with a force of several thousand kilograms, which slammed down and sent Li Yong flying back more than three zhang (approximately 10 meters).

"Mastery of external martial arts?"

"wrong……"

Li Yong's expression changed slightly, but before he could finish speaking, Chu Kuang attacked again.

He suddenly twisted his spear, causing the stone slab beneath his feet to shatter, then pulled out the spear and thrust it straight at him with a sharpness that could shatter stone and split gold.

Chu Kuang had only recently come into contact with the Spear of Rending Gold, but thanks to the support of his basic spear techniques, his cultivation progress was not slow at all, and he had now reached the initial stage of understanding [47%].

Most importantly, spear techniques are often learned extremely quickly in the early stages. Chu Kuang's Golden Spear only has one move—thrust. Although this move is simple, combined with his high health level of 5.6, the power it unleashes is earth-shattering. At least Li Yong's Savage Bear Body wouldn't dare to directly confront it.

At this moment, Li Yong lost his spiked club, and it was too late to pick it up. He barely managed to block more than a dozen moves with his Savage Bear Fist, and finally, with a final strike, he pierced through Li Yong's chest and was left hanging in mid-air.

"Your fist technique is good, but your life level is too low."

"Practicing martial arts without internal cultivation is a waste of time in old age. You should focus more on internal and external skills."

With a single strike, Chu Kuang killed Li Yong, watching him vanish as he turned into data, and calmly withdrew his spear.

He was not surprised at all by winning this battle. Life level is the foundation of all martial artists, while internal and external skills are the basis of apprentice-level martial artists.

While martial arts skills can enhance a martial artist's combat power, if the difference in life level is too great, it is difficult for martial arts skills alone to allow a person to fight beyond their level. At least, martial arts skills before breaking through the limit are unlikely to allow a person to achieve a reversal of the situation beyond their level.

Li Yong's external skills are mostly at the minor mastery level, and his life level is probably only at level 5 at most, which is too far from his level 5.6 life level.

Although the Wild Bear Fist is powerful, its fist and foot techniques are ultimately only suitable for close combat.

Although Chu Kuang's Gengjin Spear was only at the initial stage, as long as he maintained some distance and combined it with his powerful life level, he could easily bully the Great Perfection stage of the Savage Bear Fist.

At least before one enters the Transcendent Realm and cultivates an invulnerable martial arts body, the role of weapon-based martial arts is far superior to that of fist and foot martial arts.

Because weapon-based martial arts are the real techniques for killing enemies, while hand-to-hand martial arts are mostly used to complement weapon-based martial arts and make up for the lack of flexibility of weapons.

"He actually won."

"Holy crap, that kick sent Li Manzi flying! Is this the suppression of life level?"

"It seems the homeroom teacher was right. Martial arts skills are ultimately just branches and leaves; strong internal and external skills are the foundation."

Seeing Chu Kuang defeat Li Yong, the spectators in the stands all looked thoughtful.

Meanwhile, Chu Kuang, the protagonist, has been teleported out of the arena.

【Chu Kuang】

[School: Tianheng No.3 Middle School]

[Ranking: 8762]

[Wins 6: Losses 0]

[Win rate: 100%]

"The ranking skyrocketed, which saved me a lot of trouble."

After returning to the Tianheng Star Realm, Chu Kuang glanced at his ranking and couldn't help but show a satisfied expression.

Next, Chu Kuang fought three more matches. The strength of the opponents in these three matches was not much different from that of Li Yong. They were basically all people whose martial arts talent was higher than their internal and external skills talent, and who had mastered the initial stage of the Great Perfection martial arts skill first.

Relying on his powerful vitality, Chu Kuang finally defeated the three, but his final opponent was ranked over four thousandth, making the fight quite difficult.

[Ranking: 4361]

"In this tenth ranked match, there's a chance I'll be matched with an opponent from the top 3,000, right?"

After achieving a nine-game winning streak, Chu Kuang opened the matchmaking system again.

Just then, he noticed a line of small text appearing on the screen in front of him.

"You have now achieved a nine-game winning streak, which has triggered the Elo mechanism, and you will be matched with higher-level opponents."

"Match successful".

Chu Kuang frowned slightly, and then he was teleported to a fighting arena.

This was a towering peak, which had been leveled to form a fighting arena. As soon as Chu Kuang landed, he felt the biting cold wind all around him.

Opposite him, a man in blue robes carrying a long sword slowly landed, looking over with a somewhat indifferent gaze.

Ye Qingfeng

[School: Tianheng No.3 Middle School]

[Ranking: 688]

[Wins 15: Losses 0]

[Win rate: 100%]

……

【Chu Kuang】

[School: Tianheng No.3 Middle School]

[Ranking: 4361]

[Wins 9: Losses 0]

[Win rate: 100%]

"Fifteen consecutive wins!"

The moment Chu Kuang saw this person, his expression changed slightly.

A 100% win rate and a 15-game winning streak mean that 688 is definitely not the limit for this person. Their strength is likely far above that rank, and they just started playing ranked matches today, just like him.

Just then, Ye Qingfeng glanced at him and said calmly, "You're also from No. 3 Middle School?"

"I'm from Class 7, and you are?" Chu Kuang took a deep breath and asked.

"You don't recognize me?" Ye Qingfeng was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and said, "I've been in seclusion for the past few months, and not many of my classmates at school have seen me. It's not surprising that you don't recognize me."

"To achieve a nine-game winning streak, you must be quite skilled. It's a pity the system matched you with me."

"Come on, let me see what you're made of."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Qingfeng stood with his sword in hand, looking at him calmly.

Chu Kuang nodded, and the instant the countdown ended, he gripped his spear and thrust it straight at the opponent.

Chu Kuang used all his strength in this attack, leaving no room for retreat.
