(Thanks to League Master Dongfeng Nandu)_2 “Taking a few beatings and unlocking targets useful for Combat Retrospect, totally worth it.”
For a senior high school student just starting on the Old Martial Arts Path, dreaming of surpassing the upperclassmen in the Martial Arts System at a top academy seemed a bit too ambitious.
This isn’t about a Soldier King dominating the campus and wooing all the beauties!
Reaching Brave Bronze would already be a success!
Qin Shi engaged in a flag combat; the red battle flag stabbed into the ground, with a five-second countdown.
As the timer hit zero, the [Cat Head Killer] took the initiative.
Facing an upperclassman, he couldn’t afford to be timid and let them toy with him.
He stepped forward, and in an instant, his Qi Sensitivity activated, completing over five full cycles.
Like a silver ripple spreading across a pond, it formed circles that borrowed this unstoppable momentum.
The [Cat Head Killer] moved at an incredulous speed!
“Life Force far exceeds fifty points, a top student mastering the introductory materials of the New Martial techniques!”
Qin Shi’s heart was filled with excitement.
He needed high-intensity beatings to help him gain battle experience and improve his combat awareness.
[Extra-Sensory Perception] activated!
Under the greatly enhanced five senses, he barely managed to follow the [Cat Head Killer]’s movement with the naked eye.
The opponent stepped, twisted, and kicked!
Silver ripple-like waves appeared again, stirring the layers of airflow, resembling a fierce battle-axe slashing through water, aimed directly at his chest!
Even before it hit, a suffocating sense of pressure loomed!
This virtual character was modeled and synthesized based on scan data, replicating over eighty percent of Qin Shi’s physical state.
As the Qi Sensitivity heat flowed to his limbs and bones, then gathered at his feet, a breeze surrounded him, aiding him to retreat quickly and narrowly avoid the attack.
But the [Cat Head Killer] didn’t relent; after a missed kick, he switched to a downward stomp, using it as a pivot, spinning like a top to sweep horizontally!
“This guy’s leg technique is ferocious, especially combined with that peculiar ripple.
Every time the ripple vibrates, his power and speed double!”
After just one round, Qin Shi felt immense pressure.
He desperately applied the newly learned “As Swift as the Wind” to enhance his agility and dodged quickly.
Doesn’t seem like a big shot?”
The [Cat Head Killer] launched seven or eight successive attacks, completely overwhelming his opponent, leaving no room for counterattack.
“Could he really be a Black Iron rookie?
He spread his arms, shifting his center of gravity, gliding close to the ground like a giant bird.
In just a few bounds, the silver ripples vibrated several times, making his movements sharp and intense.
In the blink of an eye, his five fingers closed like a bird’s beak, chasing Qin Shi, aiming for a vital spot!
The Life Force gap, more than doubled, created a vast disparity, making each round extremely tough for Qin Shi.
With the gust of wind in his face and the severe rolling of his Adam’s apple, he raised his left hand to protect his throat, while his large tendons in his body strained, like tightly drawn large bows, stimulating the blood flow, pumping out an even stronger, violent power!
“Trading injury for injury?
The [Cat Head Killer] formed his right hand into a bird beak, known as the “Crane Peck” from Old Martial Boxing Technique, concentrating all his force at one point that could pierce steel plates, let alone human bodies.
He was confident this Black Iron guy couldn’t withstand it, destined to have his Adam’s apple cartilage shattered and suffer a complete defeat.
Unexpectedly, Qin Shi’s palm seemed engorged, suddenly expanding.
Then it contracted tightly, like thickly wound tendon, firmly pinching him.
In reality, this move from the [Cat Head Killer] would have rendered his hand useless, with blood gushing.
But in the Virtual Combat Room, there was no clear pain, only damage determination.
With Qin Shi’s health bar reduced by a third against the [Nine Heavens Thunderbolt Foot Stance].
Under such high pressure, the tendons, tempered repeatedly by the Golden Ambrosia, compressed and expanded like a spring stretched to its limit suddenly released.
With his Adam’s apple cartilage nearly shattered, his right arm surged with power, hand opened, with nails curved like hooks, firmly grabbing the [Cat Head Killer]’s shoulder.
Boiling blood, searing short breaths, like a motor’s circulating Qi sensation… limbs and bones acting as one!
With twelve blood-red large tendons intertwined, generating unmatched force exceeding seventeen points of Life Force!
Front hand dragged the shoulder!
Tendons and bones interlaced, arms twisting like braids!
In a flash of lightning, the [Cat Head Killer]’s health bar was similarly emptied by more than half, though the pain was dulled, the opponent’s fierce determination to ruin an arm even at the cost of piercing hand and throat sent chills down his spine.
“When did Qiguang Heng University’s Martial Arts System produce an Old Martial Sect member?”
This life-and-death, decisive fighting style was too distinct.
After this injury-for-injury exchange, the [Cat Head Killer] took no further chances, continuously deploying the Wave Ripple Intent Qi Technique to grapple with this mysterious Black Iron guy.
The [Cat Head Killer]’s knife-hand strike eliminated the last sliver of the opponent’s health, securing victory.
He didn’t feel the satisfaction of a winner, urgently opening the voice chat:
“Classmate, which class and what style are you from?”
As the defeated, Qin Shi was satisfied, directly exited the room, and started the next match.
“Qiguang Heng University’s Martial Arts System students!
That was a real thrill!”
A single high-intensity battle gave him a totally invigorating experience.
Offense and defense bouts, trading injuries, competing in Life Force strength and techniques… His previously stagnant Life Force seemed to sprout and stir restlessly.
As if it were about to surge upward!
Qin Shi suddenly recalled what Old Liang said about the requirements for Limit Breaking.
