I will eventually become a god through sheer hard work.

One was crimson, the other pitch black; the two figures streaked across the sky like shooting stars, and in a flash, everyone could see their appearances.

The black-clad figure, with a youthful face and short stature, exuded an aura of authority that commanded respect. Everyone present recognized him; he was none other than Li Suisui, the unprecedented genius and the strongest elementary school student on earth!

The other figure, though his hair and eyes were different from before, now dyed a burning crimson, still possessed an unforgettable, magnificent face that no one could mistake.

"Teacher Xue!?"

Ye Jingqiu asked in surprise.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xue Jing, after several rapid exchanges of blows, reached out and grabbed Li Suisui's right leg, then flung her away in one direction like a whip.

There, a giant bird-shaped metal creature happened to be flying by. Li Suisui, who was thrown into the air and left a sonic boom cloud in her wake, crashed hard into it.

"boom--!!!"

Before it could even let out a scream, the metal bird was smashed into countless pieces on the spot.

A familiar dull thud of metal striking metal, and a familiar gust of air swept outwards, lifting everyone into the air once again.

"Holy crap! This isn't a nuclear explosion, it's not a natural disaster, it's Teacher Xue fighting with someone!"

"Let's get out of here quickly! Staying here might affect Teacher Xue's performance and make him hesitate!"

"But...where can we run to?"

Everyone watched in utter shock as the two humanoid monsters battled in the distance.

Every move they made was earth-shattering and terrifying. If it hit the opponent directly, it would be fine, as both of them had extremely exquisite control over their strength, and they could hit the opponent with all their strength without wasting any, so there wouldn't be much of a commotion. However, if there were other objects around them, such as trees, the ground, or even an unlucky creature that happened to pass by and was hit, the force would leak out, and a single strike would be a small natural disaster.

As the fight progresses, the two will randomly move around at incredible speeds, making it impossible to know which direction to run away from them.

The commotion was so loud that it attracted the attention of more and more people. From A1 to D9, in the thirty-six examination areas of Steel Tree Sea, except for those who were too far away, many examiners curiously approached the area following the noise.

Wei Yuzhao, his body burning with blood energy, appeared silently on a giant golden vine as if he had teleported, watching the two fighting fiercely not far away.

"Ok?"

He frowned slightly, sensing a very familiar feeling from Xue Jing. His gaze sharpened, and he scrutinized Xue Jing's hair and eyes for a long time.

"This is... the power of Crimson? What's going on? How could he...?"

"Something's not right. The Crimson Lord's bestowal ceremony should only be in the hands of us reformers. Could it be that he was actually already..."

Zhou Yinglin also arrived at the scene and gathered with several examiners. He looked at Xue Jing, who was in the midst of a fierce battle with Li Suisui, and his sharp, hawk-like eyebrows twitched wildly.

No, it's only been a short time, what's going on?

That's Li Suisui... He wouldn't even dare to think of comparing himself to her, a super monster who created history.

Martial artists consider breaking limits as the ultimate goal, and the difference between each breakthrough is like heaven and earth. For ordinary people who have never broken limits, the difference between a superhuman and an ordinary person is like that between a superhuman and an ordinary person. The same principle applies to the comparison between someone who has broken limits twice and someone who has broken limits once.

But why... Xue Jing, who hadn't broken his limit when he fought him in U19, is now able to fight Li Suisui, who has already broken her limit twice, to a standstill?

It even seems that... he is subtly suppressing Li Suisui.

"This is impossible."

His lips trembled slightly as he muttered to himself, a sense of despair welling up inside him.

The shadow that loomed over his heart grew ever larger at this moment.

"...This is completely different from the information you gave me, Xiao Zhou."

One of the examiners, who was part of the group, looked at Zhou Yinglin with narrowed eyes, a hint of danger in them.

Based on Xue Jing's current fighting prowess, only Li Suisui could put up a fight with him; anyone else would just be easy prey.

If we hadn't known beforehand and had rashly come to their door, we probably would have been wiped out.

Zhou Yinglin remained silent.

"...Never mind, it's normal for someone like you to not be able to see through his depths when facing someone like him. It seems that the old-fashioned conservatives completely miscalculated this time. They thought that arranging for Li Suisui to come in was a huge guarantee, but they didn't expect..."

"Now it all depends on Li Suisui. We can't help with anything else for now, and going there would probably just cause trouble. Let's hope he can win. If not, then we'll have to settle for second best and ruin his performance in this martial arts exam, so that he doesn't get that 'golden body' and it will be difficult for him to attack in the future..."

"Perfect timing, just in case, the higher-ups have prepared a backup plan..."

……

Xue Jing felt thoroughly satisfied.

He had almost never experienced a brutal, all-out, evenly matched fight relying solely on his martial arts and physical strength.

Finding someone with similar abilities to him is extremely difficult.

His past opponents were either strong in the wrong way, with strange and unusual abilities that made the fights not very satisfying, or they were easily crushed and killed by him.

For him, encountering an opponent with whom he could fight hand-to-hand was like winning the lottery. As expected of the Seventh Metropolitan Area, it certainly didn't disappoint him.

"boom--!!"

Another explosive punch landed as Xue Jing mercilessly pinned down the child, who was four or five years younger than him and still in elementary or middle school, relentlessly pounding his face with spiraling, blood-red punches.

Li Suisui was not to be outdone. She also moved her hands, blocking and deflecting the force while looking for an opening to counterattack.

The two moved at an unbelievable speed. With each punch and kick, every action could tear out sonic booms and white mist, and the surrounding winds would swirl around them. The aftershocks alone could cause a natural disaster.

"You are such a delightful child."

Xue Jing jerked his body forward, raised his hand, and sent Li Suisui flying into the air.

Blood circulated autonomously, requiring no breathing techniques or prior energy preparation. With a single, decisive strike, the dragon's roar reverberated through the void, and the sharp, blood-burning energy pierced his abdomen.

At this moment, due to his blood control ability, he has almost reached the level of a master who has broken through limits in terms of control over his body. He can use killing moves and secret techniques at will. He no longer regards them as a means to determine victory or defeat, but as ordinary moves that he can use at will in normal combat.

As a genuine Grandmaster who has broken through limits, Li Suisui was naturally the same. With her consciousness covering her body, her body control was even better than Xue Jing's. In mid-air, she made a recovery move, her palm in a grabbing posture, and turned towards Xue Jing's fingertips.

The extremely solid, sharp, blood-red energy was completely worn away, as if it had been caught in a meat grinder, and was peeled away layer by layer.

Cutting, deflecting, colliding, softening... Xue Jing felt hundreds and thousands of different forces at work, working together in perfect harmony to completely dismantle the finishing touch in an extremely ingenious way.

Until the very end, with a single finger strike, its destructive power was almost gone.

"What move is this?"

Xue Jing asked with great interest.

Li Suisui said calmly, "It's just the basic application of the Myriad Manifestations Flow."

Xue Jing's eyes lit up slightly: "I'm very interested... How about you teach me a move, and I'll trade you other martial arts techniques in return."

He could sense that the Myriad Manifestations of the Universe that Li Suisui practiced was of great help to him.

The near-divine move he had conceived, "Return to Nothingness and Return to Oneness," was somewhat similar to the move that Li Suisui had just used.

The myriad phenomena of the universe may become a solid foundation for creating 'Return to Nothingness and Unity', rather than existing only in his imagination like a rootless duckweed!

"The myriad phenomena of the universe have already encompassed everything within it; no other martial arts hold any appeal for me whatsoever."

Li Suisui adopted an unusual boxing stance, her gaze slightly narrowed.

"If you want to learn, you can either become my disciple or beat me up and force me to teach you."

"There is no other choice."

Xue Jing's eyes showed a thoughtful expression: "Is that so..."

……

Chapter 341: Give the Earth a Middle Part, and Finish with a Shocking Punch (4K)

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Suisui saw Xue Jing raise his right hand towards him, as if waving something and throwing it at him.

In the blink of an eye, a large amount of blood gushed out of Xue Jing's hand at an incredible speed, quickly condensing into a huge, blood-red hammer tens of meters long, which smashed towards Li Suisui.

"Varied……!?"

As the crimson hammer hurtled towards her, Li Suisui's eyes widened slightly. Before she could even be surprised, she was struck by the hammer as if it were swatting a mosquito.

"boom--!!!"

A huge circular crater was smashed into the metal ground, steel rolled and spread like waves, metal fragments rose into a small mushroom cloud, and the burst of vacuum air forced all the onlookers to retreat.

"That is!?"

Many people stared in surprise, especially Wei Yuzhao.

Li Suisui slowly got up from the human-shaped crater, blood oozing from her forehead and flowing to the corner of her eye, but it stopped immediately.

He looked at Xue Jing, who was wielding a massive crimson hammer, and narrowed his eyes, saying:

"The ability to control the transformation of flesh and blood... Are you a recipient of the Crimson Lord's gift?"

Xue Jing smiled slightly and remained silent. Instead, he waved his hand, and the crimson giant hammer softened and transformed into a series of curved, thread-like blades, as supple as whips yet gleaming with a sharp, cold light.

Crimson's blood control ability manipulates a part of his body, making it much more flexible than Shadowflame's. Its strength is also based on his own physical strength, far surpassing Shadowflame's.

This power comes from sacrificing all divinity, and Shadowflame itself is included in it, so naturally there's no comparison.

The wire cutter spun and cut towards Li Suisui with incredible speed and agility. Li Suisui reacted immediately, dodging or blocking, her movements as fast as if she were dancing.

Immediately afterwards, the whip-like thread knife transformed into a straight, blood-red longsword, its blade, several meters long, was held in Xue Jing's hand, its proportions extremely exaggerated.

A faint, indifferent silver-white glint appeared in his crimson pupils. He swung his sword with both hands, and the blood-stained blade, several meters long, flashed through the air.

A huge, reddish phantom of a full moon appeared in the leaden sky, and petals of crimson cherry blossoms, as if stained with blood, drifted down.

"Zhu Manyue".

Li Suisui originally intended to use the Senluo Wanxiang Style to deflect the sword, but after the long sword passed by, he realized that he had been hit and could not deflect it at all.

Li Suisui's brows furrowed as countless tiny wounds kept reopening all over her body.

There was no trace of exerting force; it seemed to be a sword technique driven purely by mental focus and intention…

Before he could think further, dozens more high-speed spinning blood bullets, trailing crimson trails of flame, hurtled toward him.

The relentless attacks left Li Suisui exhausted, with no chance to catch her breath.

Li Suisui quickly blocked with both hands, intercepting all the spiraling cinnabar bullets. Each time he blocked one, his palm would make a crisp cracking sound, his blood would burst out in a spiral shape, and a spiral indentation would appear on the skin of his palm. At the same time, his body would be constantly impacted and pushed back.

While defending against the attacks, he opened his mouth and exhaled a pale yellow, round stream of air.

As soon as the pale yellow airflow exited, it immediately began to swirl and spread, gradually permeating the surrounding area.
