Volume 2 That World Chapter 25 An Irresistible Blow
Early in the morning, Qi Ji opened his eyes and sat up, his face slightly pale.
He was very sure that at the last moment last night, he successfully activated the "Demon Subduing" skill.
To put it simply, Demon Subduing is a high-end version of the Meridian Nourishing Method's explosive technique.
In the demon-subduing state, he is able to interfere with his own mind by detonating it, allowing him to perfectly manipulate his body.
The explosive secret technique in normal state can make his output reach four to five times the normal level when combined with his own transcendence.
Then in the demon-subduing state, his output can reach about six times his normal level.
If he does not take into account any increase in strength now, his own strength is about 140 kilograms, and the six-fold increase in output will be a terrifying 850 kilograms, which has completely exceeded the limit of normal humans.
On their planet where there are no demons at all, the deadlift strength of the world's top super strongman is said to be only 700 kilograms.
Not only that, the demon-subduing state also comes with the ability to perfectly control one's own emotions and body.
There won't be the negative effect of making Qi Ji fall into arrogance and conceit like an ordinary outburst.
Simply put, in the demon-subduing state, Qi Ji's strength, reaction, coordination, endurance, recovery and other physical qualities are values that cannot be achieved by humans below the extraordinary level.
But he still died at the hands of the black-clad swordsman in the tower.
Qi Ji thought carefully, but still had no clue.
That move of drawing the sword... was incredibly fast.
It was so fast that even if he activated the "demon-slaying" state, whose reflex nerves and dynamic vision exceeded the limits of normal humans, he could not see the trajectory of the opponent's knife.
Qi Ji frowned. How could he break this unreasonable speed of sword drawing?
If he fails to crack it, after ten chances, he will face the fate of having his spiritual power reset to zero.
At breakfast time, several young people sat on the first floor of the inn and enjoyed their meal quickly.
"Qi Ji, what's wrong with you? You look a little pale."
Qi Ji had something on his mind, and Qin Zijin, who had been paying attention to him, saw through it at a glance and asked with concern.
Everyone couldn't help but look over when they heard this.
Qi Ji gathered his thoughts, smiled at a few people, then looked at Qin Zijin and said, "I have something to ask, but I don't know if it's appropriate to mention it."
"What's inappropriate?" Qin Zijin also smiled and said, "Qi Ji, you are now the backbone of the Sword Pavilion's defense battle. If you have any needs, just tell me and I will ask the Sword Pavilion to help solve it."
Qi Ji pondered for a moment and said, "Yesterday I saw a contest in the Divine Sword Building where they had a sword technique that was decisive, ruthless, and extremely fast. Then I couldn't help but think about it. If I met a master with extremely fast sword techniques, he would either not attack or use a sword-drawing technique that was so fast that I couldn't resist or dodge. In this case, how could I defeat him?"
After saying that, Qi Ji touched his head embarrassedly and laughed at himself: "It's funny to say that this unreal reason has troubled me all night, and now I really want to know the answer."
At this moment, actor Qi Ji's acting skills were at its best, and the innocent big boy appeared again.
After hearing his description, several people couldn't help but put down their bowls and chopsticks and start thinking.
Ueizumi Yiren was the first to speak. He touched his chin and put on a detective look, "Hmm... Qi Ji-san's imaginary opponent is a bit like the Iai school of our Sakura Country's ancient kendo, but the sword-drawing techniques practiced by these schools that I know of should not reach the level of the masters that Qi Ji-san imagined..."
This Sakura boy has been talking nonsense for a long time but not a single word of use is available.
Bai Tianhe looked at Qi Ji and said softly, "To be honest, with your strength, I don't think anyone below the Extraordinary level can perform a move that you can't block or dodge, unless the enemy you imagine is an Extraordinary. In that case, why not ask my master to give you some advice?"
Qi Ji's eyes lit up when he heard this. Bai Tianhe actually provided a good idea.
Su Jingqiu also nodded beside him: "Indeed, I watched dozens of your battles yesterday, and I can see that your physical fitness is already at the top of the extraordinary level. If I want to launch an attack that even you cannot fight back, at least I can't do it."
Qin Zijin tapped his palm with his fist and said with a smile: "Then let's go ask Mr. Yu later. If he can't explain it, then I'll ask my master for you!"
"Your master? Oh, by the way, I still don't know who your master is!" Qi Ji was stunned and couldn't help but ask.
Qin Zijin looked at Qi Ji and smiled: "I am a walker in the Sword Pavilion. My master is, of course, the Sword Pavilion Master Yu Xujiang!"
"Pavilion Master!" Qi Ji was stunned.
I never expected that Qin Zijin would have such a strong background!
This thigh is so tight! So soft and fragrant!
After finishing their meal at the inn, the group came to Jiandu Square again.
Today's martial arts performance was still packed with people, and every passage was blocked.
With the help of support personnel, they finally squeezed into the Jiange arena. The few team members defending the arena still felt a lingering fear.
Shangquan Yiren wiped the sweat off his head and couldn't help complaining, "This country! It's too scary. Have all the people from the outside world come to Jiandu?"
Qin Zijin nodded, smiled and said, "The Sword and Martial Arts Competition is a competition held every five years in Donghua Continent. It is a bit like the World Cup or Global Sword Competition in our Inner Domain. In the Outer Domain where the martial arts spirit is strong, this kind of competition to watch heroes from all over the continent compete in martial arts is very popular."
She went on to say, "Although the population of East China is only 500 million, the capital city that hosts this event can welcome hundreds of thousands of tourists every time. This number of tourists will be fed, clothed, housed and transported for at least 15 days, which has a huge impact on the local economy."
Qi Ji was watching Qin Zijin talking with great enthusiasm. He used to think that she was a talented female swordsman, but after knowing that her master was the leader of the Sword Pavilion, he now felt like he was looking at the biological daughter of a super boss.
Although her tea-making skills are not very good, she has a solid background. Marrying her home will save me hundreds of years of hard work. It should be a sure win, right?
A few people were sitting in the rest area next to the ring chatting, and soon Yu Chengen came over.
Seeing Qi Ji and others, Yu Chengen greeted them with a helpless look on his face.
"If I had known earlier, I would not have accepted this job of leading the team. I would rather go to the front line to slay demons." He scratched his head, looking quite annoyed.
Qin Zijin said jokingly with a smile: "Master Yu, except for the senior sister, all of us are from the inner domain. There is no better person to lead the team than you. You still have to shoulder the responsibility!"
Yu Chengen smiled awkwardly: "Xiao Qin, isn't this pure moral kidnapping?"
After saying that, he turned around and patted the confused Kamiizumi Yiren next to him: "Your grandfather is cunning and applied to go to the front line to slay demons a long time ago. He should be feeling very happy now!"
"Demon slayer?" Qi Ji heard Yu Chengen mention this word again and couldn't help but repeat it with doubt.
Seeing Qi Ji's confusion, Yu Chengen smiled and said, "Well, it's about killing the foreign demons. Zijin has told you before, right? The foreign demons have been coveting this world and are deliberately trying to invade the various continents where we humans live. Every extraordinary person should take the initiative to assume the responsibility of resisting the foreign demons, including those who come from our inner domain."
"After all, if the outer domain is not protected, the next domain to be invaded will be our inner domain." When saying this, Yu Chengen's expression was quite serious.
Before they could chat for a few more words, another extraordinary person jumped onto the Huabiao in the center of Jiandu Square and shouted the same words as Yu Chengen did yesterday.
A new day of competition has begun again.
Kamiizumi Yiren picked up his sword and stood up. He turned to Bai Tianhe and asked, "The defense has started again. Should I go first or you?"
Bai Tianhe raised his eyebrows indifferently: "You go first. Anyway, you are a weakling. You will be exhausted after three rounds at most."
Shangquan Yiren was immediately furious: "Baka! Who are you calling a weakling?"
Bai Tianhe said expressionlessly: "I don't need to tell you, you will come down naturally in a while."
In a fit of impotent rage, Shangquan Yiren rushed onto the stage and shouted, "Where are the people from yesterday? Come up if you haven't been scared by us yet!"
He was good at praising himself, saying that it was he, Bai Tianhe and Qi Ji who killed people together.
Then, an attacker jumped up and was defeated by Kamiizumi Yito in just a few moves.
The level is only about level four.
Five minutes later, another man at the fourth level jumped up and was quickly knocked down by Kamiizumi Yiren.
"Hahahaha, now you know how powerful I am! If you can't even beat me, you have no qualifications to challenge our Qi Jisang!" The game of bullying finally started, and Quan Yiren was so happy that he laughed wildly on the stage.
Qi Ji and the others, who had been paying close attention to today's attack, looked at each other in bewilderment. At this rate, has the plan for the three forces to jointly attack today been cancelled?
Su Jingqiu said softly: "It seems that they feel that the gains do not outweigh the losses, and there are not many 6th-dan players who can still make a move, so they simply give up."
Qin Zijin nodded: "Next, we just need to stabilize the situation and pay attention to the genius masters above the seventh level who occasionally show up."
Qi Ji asked curiously, "Oh? Are the other forces so powerful that they can send out seventh-level masters to attack the arena when they have enough people to defend it?"
Qin Zijin shook his head: "Of course it won't be someone from the seven major forces. Seventh-level masters under the age of thirty are extremely rare. Look, our Jian Pavilion, as the organizer, can't even get four of them. If there is a seventh-level master, he will definitely be used to defend the ring."
Bai Tianhe couldn't help but ask, "Then the Qi Duan that appeared to attack the challenge, is it wild?"
Su Jingqiu nodded and replied, "Including our Jiange, the seven major forces almost include more than 60% of the geniuses in Donghua Continent. However, Donghua Continent is not just a few forces like us. There are also many small sects, and there are always a few amazing talents emerging from them occasionally."
"For example?" Qi Ji asked curiously.
"The strong fist has no second chance, the magic gun--" Qin Zijin immediately continued with a smile.
"Li Shuwen!?" Qin Zijin had just said halfway when Qi Ji asked in shock.
"Well, after he came to the outside world, he practiced on his own to reach the extraordinary level, founded the Baji Sect, recruited many disciples, and became a force that cannot be underestimated in the Donghua Continent. Under his tutelage, he has one eighth-level, two seventh-level, and more than ten sixth-level disciples." Su Jingqiu said softly.
"In addition, there are many similar sects that cannot be underestimated, and the disciples they have trained will definitely appear in this sword and martial arts competition." Su Jingqiu continued. "We should try not to become a stepping stone for such a genius."
Qi Ji just felt a little excited. He would definitely have the chance to meet these legendary figures in the future.
