Volume 2 That World Chapter 56: Hundred Phoenix Fists
After Gu Chong'an left, Yu Cheng'en and Wuchuan from Longchang lost their desire to talk and returned to their respective viewing stands with serious expressions.
"In the next few days, don't leave me too far and don't act alone." Yu Chengen said seriously to Qi Ji and the others.
Qin Zijin's face turned pale, and it was obvious that she knew the reason very well: "Mr. Yu, the demon Gu Chong'an showed up so brazenly, is there any purpose?"
The atmosphere was a little depressing for a while. After a while, Yu Chengen came back from his silence and said softly, "The purpose is unclear for now, but in front of Gu Chong'an, you are just like little chickens. We don't need to take risks."
“After all…” Yu Chengen’s face was solemn. “He was a fourth-rank expert who killed more than thirty extraordinary people in a row and lived freely for more than twenty years after betraying the Gu family.”
The fourth stage... has mastered the ability to "float", and can control the Qi to float on the surface of the body, forming a strong Qi armor!
But, including the fortune tellers and team leaders present, aren't there at least a dozen level four experts? Why would they be afraid of just one level four?
Qi Ji pondered for a moment, and before he could speak, Bai Tianhe asked a similar question.
Yu Chengen didn't say anything, but Su Jingqiu took the initiative to add: "There are also differences between extraordinary people of the same level, and the higher the level, the greater the gap will become."
She paused and said softly, "If one does not break through to the 'fifth level', which is known as the demigod stage, the fourth level is the end point for most extraordinary people. And the fourth level is said to be a stage with a very large strength leap. The gap between those who have just entered the fourth level and the veteran strongmen who have been immersed in the fourth level for many years in terms of the accumulation of Qi and the development of the Qi armor function may be greater than the gap between ordinary people and extraordinary people."
“So, this Gu Chong’an is this kind of veteran strong man, the pinnacle below demigod…” Qin Zijin added on the side.
Yu Chengen made a final summary of the conversation: "In short, be vigilant, but don't worry too much. It's hard to say about other forces. I have arranged for someone to notify the Pavilion Master and request support."
…
Under the shadow of Gu Chong'an's sudden appearance, the competition still had to continue. When the time was up, the showdown between the descendants of the two major forces, Liaoyuan Sect and Kaiwu Hall, immediately began.
The two major forces, Liaoyuan Sect and Kaiwu Hall, do not allow their descendants to have the opportunity to choose the type of martial arts to practice before entering the extraordinary realm, unlike Jiange and Wuxiang Temple.
The people of Liaoyuan Sect learn a set of spear techniques called "Liaoyuan Hundred Strikes", while the people of Kaiwu Hall practice "Hundred Lie Phoenix Fist".
The two forces are also more inferior in equipment than other forces.
One family used spears, and the other wore special full body armor.
In the mortal stage, spears and armor are more advantageous than other equipment and weapons.
It goes without saying that the spear is as strong as an inch longer. Unless the opponent has overwhelming strength and speed, using an ordinary short weapon against a spear is almost asking for trouble.
The armor is even more exaggerated. To give a simple example, Qi Ji has been defending the ring all the way, and except for a few people with admirable martial ethics, all the opponents he has encountered were seriously injured by him, and some even lost limbs.
For example, Kiyogen Iwamoto whose wrist was cut off.
Only Lu Lian from the Armor Hall, relying on his armor with excellent defense, remained unscathed even after being slashed multiple times by Qi Ji. In the end, he was slashed on the head dozens of times but only suffered a concussion and passed out.
An ordinary person without armor would have died a hundred times.
The strength of the successors sent by the two forces was similar, one was at the eighth stage and three were at the seventh stage.
The scene then became a display of absolute length versus absolute defense.
Briefly summarize the battle process.
He ran, he chased, he couldn't escape even if he had wings.
It means that as soon as they enter the arena, the descendant of Liaoyuan Sect has been controlling the distance, and keeps stabbing the armor of the descendant of Kaiwu Hall with his spear in vain, while the descendant of Kaiwu Hall ignores the attacks and desperately sprints towards the opponent. If he is lucky, he will successfully get close to the opponent by grabbing the opponent's spear, and then give the opponent a fierce heavy punch, or a continuous "Dragon Subduing Hundred Strikes" to beat the opponent into unconsciousness.
If the heir of the Armor Hall is unlucky and cannot find a chance to get close, his physical strength will be quickly consumed by the heavy armor, and he will be stabbed all over the body by the Liaoyuan Sect with continuous high-speed stabs and become exhausted.
It's safe yet a bit funny.
The above refers specifically to the seven levels of descendants of both parties.
The two champions who were at the eighth level of Zuozhao realm obviously wanted to save some face and would not fight in such a ridiculous manner.
The champion of Liaoyuan Sect is named Zhong Yunying, a tall and heroic beauty who looks to be around 25 or 26 years old.
The champion of the Armor Hall is Ning Bai, who is about twenty-eight or twenty-nine years old. He has a wild appearance and strong muscles. After putting on the armor, he looks like a humanoid mecha.
Both of them were at the sitting license level, and as if they had made an appointment beforehand, they began to fight fiercely as soon as they came on stage, sweeping away the slightly ridiculous scenes of the previous few duels.
Zhong Yunying was totally different from her fellow junior brothers in adopting roaming tactics in the confrontation. Although she was a woman, she had extremely strong basic skills, with her waist and horse united as one. When she wielded the spear, her arm muscles bulged, and her strength and speed were not inferior to those of men. The all-round blazing spear technique in her hands was like a torrential rain and a swing like Pangu creating the sky. The red tassel on the spear seemed to have really turned into a ball of fire as she swung it at high speed.
Ning Bai, the tough guy, was not willing to be outdone. Although he had a set of tough armor, he did not rely on the armor for defense at all. He switched back and forth between the two postures of the Hundred Phoenix Fist in different situations. He used his arms as weapons and blocked all the attacks from Zhong Yunying. It can be seen that even if he was not wearing armor on his whole body, but only a pair of arm armor, he could still fight against Zhong Yunying without losing the upper hand.
After dozens of rounds of high-intensity fighting, the situation changed.
Zhong Yunying stabbed three times in a row as before, the tip of the spear looming. At the same time, he had a special move called "A Hundred Strikes of the Prairie" as a backup, intending to use it immediately while Ning Bai was defending to secure the chance of victory.
However, Ning Bai, who had been behaving properly since the beginning and had been seriously blocking and dodging even while wearing armor, suddenly changed his previous behavior.
Suddenly, he allowed the tip of Zhong Yunying's spear to pierce his chest. Then, he seized the opportunity in an instant, suddenly grabbed the opponent's spear, and shook it hard!
Zhong Yunying was so shocked that the opponent almost shook the spear off his face. He immediately shouted and held it firmly.
But in the blink of an eye, Ning Bai shouted loudly, displayed the "Fierce Form" of the Hundred Phoenix Fist, kicked his feet hard, and turned into a huge bright shadow, rushing in front of Zhong Yunying in an instant!
Phoenix step!
Fierce form——Fierce Phoenix Fist!
The moment he threw the punch, Ning Bai's momentum quickly condensed and then exploded violently. In the eyes of people with keen senses, it seemed as if a gorgeous divine bird with wings spread out bathed in flames appeared behind his body.
Cry!
Accompanied by a clear bird song, Ning Bai's heavy fist slammed into Zhong Yunying's chest, instantly knocking him backwards with blood spurting out!
"Ning Bai wins! Zhong Yunying loses!"
"Gaiwu Palace defeated Liaoyuan Sect, congratulations advancing!"
The referee announced the result immediately.
Zhong Yunying covered his chest with his hands, blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and he stared at Ning Bai with anger.
I didn't expect that this guy, who looks like a serious macho man, would actually do such dirty things in a fight.
Ning Bai laughed: "All's fair in war, and I'm just making use of my armor advantage. It's you who weren't careful enough!"
Offstage, Qin Zijin recalled the match between him and Qi Ji in the rookie competition, and couldn't help but glare at Qi Ji: "This Ning Bai is just like you, how come he doesn't know how to be gentle with women!"
Qi Ji chuckled: "As soon as we get on stage, we're opponents. Why should I pity him? At least I'm not as insidious as him. I won fairly, right?"
While teasing Qin Zijin, Qi Ji touched his chin and couldn't help but evaluate in his heart. In fact, it was obvious that Ning Bai's hard power was stronger than that of Zhong Yunying. Even if they fought fairly, they would most likely win.
But this sturdy man is obviously a person who does not care about details. He has sufficient combat IQ and is good at using his own advantages and paralyzing his opponent's mentality, so he can save energy and be effective with one blow.
That style of boxing was obviously also a unique skill of their Hundred Phoenix Fist, which could allow Ning Bai, who was still in the mortal stage, to burst out with several times the strength and momentum in an instant.
I don’t know how powerful I will be after I reach the extraordinary level.
Obviously, every force in Donghua Continent has its own foundation for survival.
With the victory between Ning Bai and Zhong Yunying, the second day of the exchange competition came to an end.
Yu Chengen once again brought Qi Ji and others to the forest on the outskirts of the city.
"Although there is a potential threat from Gu Chong'an, there is no need to stop the special training. As long as you don't stray too far from me, I can keep you safe."
Yu Chengen stood in front of Qi Ji and the others. Although his tone was solemn, he also revealed his calmness and confidence.
Bai Tianhe couldn't help but ask, "Master, between you and Gu Chong'an, who is more powerful?"
Yu Chengen smiled and said, "If we only compare our cultivation, then Gu Chong'an is naturally stronger than me."
Qin Zijin smiled and said, "Sword Saint Yu didn't finish his words. He has reached the fourth level of transcendence. The accumulation of cultivation is certainly important, but I'm afraid your control over Qi is not inferior to the other party, right?"
Yu Chengen smiled and said nothing.
Su Jingqiu also took the initiative to say: "Elder Yu, is today's special training going to be targeted at the Armored Warrior Hall?"
Yu Chengen nodded and said with a smile: "In the next match, your opponent is likely to be the Armor Palace. From today's matchup, you should be able to see that the Armor Palace has a fatal flaw."
Qi Ji smiled and said, "Should it be physical strength? That armor doesn't look light."
"Yes, it's physical strength. The armor of the Armor Palace has excellent protective capabilities. Even after being promoted to the extraordinary level, especially if one can reach the fourth level, through the strengthening of the real armor by the Qi armor, it can even achieve the effect of being indestructible and absolutely defensive." Yu Chengen continued: "But before reaching the extraordinary level, this set of armor is indeed too heavy. Even if the people of the Armor Palace will do a lot of special training for physical fitness, their burst period is far lower than others."
After that, Yu Chengen smiled and said, "So, today we will conduct special training based on the characteristics of the Armor Palace's Hundred Phoenix Fists and their armor."
