In the world of martial arts, there is a vast fantasy world.

Chapter 140: Countered? I Have No Weaknesses

A tall, thin, and very handsome young man with a calm demeanor and a sharp edge, he was a typical swordsman.

"Shen Xing, on behalf of the school, I want to express my apologies," Nishii Masaki said slowly. "Organizing this competition in this way was not our school's intention. I..."

"There's no need to say more," Shen Xing interrupted him. "These are all minor matters. In the end, a martial artist's strength speaks for itself."

"Alright." Nishii Masaki was silent for a moment, then raised his hand and placed it on the long sword at his waist. "Then, let's settle this with one move."

"A sword-drawing technique?" Shen Xing sensed a power that was constantly gathering around the other person.

It even subtly forms a "domain" within a certain surrounding area.

Knife domain!

Clearly, this must be the highest level of martial arts intent in sword-drawing techniques, at least the second level, and it can even be combined with other martial arts techniques.

This reminded Shen Xing of a martial arts technique.

Six Directions Heavenly Demon!

This technique was created by imitating the Xue family's "Eight Directions Great Ruins," and it is also a top-tier technique.

To call it imitation is an understatement; "stealing" would be a more accurate description.

It is a weakened version derived from the Eight Directions Great Ruins, with reduced cultivation requirements and power.

"Interesting." Shen Xing recalled the technique Xue Lun had used, and his fighting spirit gradually rose.

He walked forward step by step until he stopped at the boundary of the "domain".

He drew his long sword.

As Nishii Masaki continued to focus his sword intent, cold sweat began to bead on his forehead.

Because he realized that the other party was very familiar with the "domain"!

boom--!

The Second Realm Dragon Elephant Body erupted once again on Shen Xing's body, followed by thunderous roars from the blade!

Nishii Masaki's eyes narrowed slightly.

Gather your strength!

The opponent is also gathering strength!

However, it was not a sword-drawing technique, but rather the use of immense power, gradually concentrating it on the long sword in his hand, combined with the ever-increasing power of the second-stage lightning flash, enough to pile up the power to a terrifying level.

This violent act of building up power even instilled fear in Nishii Masaki.

It's the same combination of a second-realm cultivation technique and a second-realm sword technique, but in terms of both basic foundation and the quality of martial arts intent, he is inferior. The only thing he can rely on, "combination compatibility," is also broken by this brutal method.

He's doomed from this blow!

Do not!

A knife is different from a fist. Even if you aim at something else, if the blade tears through your shield, you might die!

etc--

Suddenly, Nishii Masaki saw that pieces of pitch-black scales were emerging on Shen Xing's body.

"Are you kidding me!" His heart skipped a beat. "Dragon transformation? Why would you need to transform in this situation?"

He suddenly realized that he had made the stupidest decision, which was to fight by accumulating strength. This method tested the accumulation of foundation, but what did he have to compete with a top genius who knew the second realm of the Myriad Dragons Technique?

Just as Shen Xing slowly raised his leg and pressed his body down, the lightning flashed to the point of almost exploding.

The fear in Nishii Masaki's heart finally reached its peak.

"I give up!"

When he finally came to his senses, he realized that he had somehow retreated over a hundred meters, shrinking into a corner of the arena, sweating profusely, and even unconsciously shouting out those words.

The stands erupted in uproar.

Not everyone could see the contest between foundation and accumulated strength. What they saw was that their school's prodigy didn't even have the courage to fight Shen Xing!

"How boring." Shen Xing curled his lips, suppressed his aura, and turned to walk off the stage.

This relaxed and casual demeanor contrasts sharply with the almost limp Nishii Masaki, who is hiding in a corner.

This scene, witnessed by the entire audience, is destined to become an unforgettable image for a long time to come!

It was almost a dominant force!

"Dragon Elephant Body plus Lightning Flash is one thing, but to add Dragon Transformation on top of that? You're giving him way too much credit." Lu Lan couldn't help but tease him a bit.

"I overestimated it," Shen Xing shrugged.

Xue Lun's "Domain" left a deep impression on him. It was an extremely powerful technique. He had originally seen a similar one and wanted to give it a serious try.

To my surprise, it scared me away.

"Yozakura School has already lost face, but the next battle is the most crucial." Lu Lan's smile faded. "That girl is very strong; she must be their ace."

Shen Xing also looked towards the stage at this moment.

His pupils contracted slightly.

Because he suddenly saw a storm! A storm belonging to the dagger!

The sky was filled with Chikako Toyama's daggers. She seemed to be able to travel through space, and even appeared in many different places in an instant. Even though Xia Xuan in the middle was wielding her Gale Sword Technique so tightly that it was impenetrable, she still could not stop the opponent's attack.

In this speed contest, they fall into an obvious disadvantage.

"It's Wind Moving the Nine Heavens," Lu Lan whispered. "It's an extremely powerful technique from the Hidden Treasury, focusing on speed. The movement technique she uses is also from the Hidden Treasury, called Flash! This movement technique was comprehended by a powerful individual during a leapfrog voyage. Unlike illusions, all those figures have real lethality."

Shen Xing's gaze also became somewhat solemn.

This speed has already exceeded the speed at which he uses the Second Realm Illusionary Body Technique.

It's possible that his base speed has already surpassed his.

It's no wonder it's the home planet of the academy; geniuses of all levels are likely to exist there.

However, what really excited Shen Xing was that this movement technique seemed to be even more suitable for "space" than the Phantom Movement Technique!

"Can I learn this movement technique?" Shen Xing couldn't help but ask.

"If you want to try, you can." Lu Lan's expression was slightly strange. "But shouldn't we be worried about the finals right now? You're at a disadvantage against this kind of martial artist."

"Being restrained?" Shen Xing glanced at her. "I have no weaknesses."

He said this very casually, as if it were something that should be taken for granted.

Even Lu Lan had her mouth slightly open.

But a moment later, he grinned and nodded emphatically.

"That's right, a true prodigy should have this kind of domineering aura."

Shen Xing did not speak.

Because at this point, the battle on the stage had already ended.

Xia Xuan did not admit defeat, and her sword speed even increased during the battle. However, facing Toyama Chigako, who was faster than her, she was gradually worn down and her damage was whittled away.

It failed despite its initial surge in popularity.

The host's voice became incredibly excited at that moment: "Congratulations, Toyama! As expected of our Yozakura School's number one prodigy, the ultimate ace known as the 'Wind Mistress'! With just this unparalleled, crushing speed, you've secured your place in the top fifty of the entire academy's home planet!"

The spectators in the stands finally cheered, and some even stood up excitedly to cheer.

There was no other way; Shen Xing was putting too much pressure on them.

But Chikako Toyama's performance gave them all hope of defeating Shen Xing!

It was the sheer number of people chanting "Wind Witch" that made Shen Xing feel somewhat embarrassed and a bit childish.

"I hope they won't give me any nicknames." Shen Xing's lips twitched slightly, but she walked straight towards the stands.

Defeating his opponent would essentially put him in the top 50.

Besides the sense of accomplishment, there are actually quite a few benefits.

As long as he can maintain this ranking, he won't need to compete for any more of these 50 available resources in the future; he can apply for them directly until the review department deems him no longer capable of ranking in the top 50, at which point he will need to challenge for them again.

"I need to rest for a bit." Chikako Toyama said as she watched Shen Xing walk up, then swallowed a few pills and began to rest.

Shen Xing didn't mind and waited quietly.

It was at this moment that the host finally revealed the true face behind the "Shen Fan" phenomenon.

"The final showdown is about to begin! On one side is our Gale Witch, whose speed is unparalleled! On the other is the River Dragon! He has already displayed unmatched strength and a powerful instant blade! But only one of them can become the ultimate victor and seize the precious resources that only fifty units exist on the entire home planet! However, judging from the numbers alone, our Gale Witch clearly has a better chance of winning. Her superior speed allows her to dodge the instant blade, and she can also avoid the vanguard of overwhelming power! Even a divine dragon cannot defeat the omnipresent Gale."

The cheers, shouts, and encouragement from the stands grew increasingly intense.

After all, the stronger Shen Xing had been, the greater the sense of pride it would bring to defeat him.

Yozakura School is going to be even stronger than Rinjiang School!

However, Shen Xing seemed completely unaffected, simply standing there calmly, rapidly consuming pills to replenish his vital energy.

Finally, Chikako Toyama seemed to be ready, standing there with two daggers in her hands.

"Shen Jun, may we begin?" Her voice was still somewhat childish, but the determination in her tone was unwavering.

Many of the defeated but still talented individuals watched from below the stage.

This includes Xia Xuan, who just lost.

"Who do you think will win?"

"I think it still has to be distant mountains."

"Yes, I think so too."

"I don't think so. Don't forget, Shen Xing also has a Dragon Transformation move, which is a comprehensive and explosive enhancement, including speed. Either he can defeat his opponent during the Dragon Transformation period, or Shen Xing will be defeated once the Dragon Transformation period ends."

"Xia Xuan, you fought with Toyama Chigako for the longest time, don't you think?"

All eyes finally settled on Xia Xuan.

She was indeed the strongest among them.

Xia Xuan silently watched the battle stage, and finally said, "I suspect that Toyama Chigako's movement technique may have already reached the minor completion of the second realm."

The single word "." left everyone speechless.
