Chapter 474: Chapter 22: Unprecedented Battle! _2
“Taking medications before the competition?”
“Doesn’t seem like that’s prohibited.”
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Li Fei took out a bottle of elixir from his bag, opened it, and directly poured it into his mouth.
He then discarded the bottle and took out another one from the bag, continuing to pour it into his mouth…
Soon, Li Fei’s body began to swell as he involuntarily displayed the ‘Overlord Body.’
His bulging muscles stretched his clothing until it tore!
His originally bronze skin gradually reddened, with white steam continuously rising from his body.
Now everyone knew what kind of elixir Li Fei had consumed.
It was an amplification-type elixir.
In the blink of an eye, Li Fei took out seven bottles of elixirs from his bag and consumed them all!
This scene dumbfounded everyone.
“Isn’t he afraid of ruining himself by consuming that much?”
“All this for a competition, is it worth it?”
The Martial Arts exchange competition did not explicitly prohibit contestants from taking amplification-type elixirs before going on stage.
Because regardless of how good the amplification-type elixirs are, they all have some side effects, and the better the elixir, the more severe these effects are.
Some side effects can even cause permanent damage!
The participants are all highly talented geniuses, naturally, no one would be foolish enough to ruin their future for a competition.
So, when everyone saw Li Fei swallow seven bottles of elixir all at once, they were all shocked and perplexed.
To risk ruining such a promising future with the fastest breakthrough speed in history!
Many people looked toward the grandstand at the newly appointed Martial Arts Master Qin Zhen, wanting to know what Wu’an University was thinking.
Wouldn’t they properly protect such a peerless talent?
Qin Zhen slightly furrowed his brows.
He didn’t know why Li Fei was doing this, but he believed that Li Fei wouldn’t really destroy himself, and that he must be confident in his actions.
After swallowing seven bottles of elixir, Li Fei took off his white martial arts uniform that had been torn apart by his muscles, revealing a black spandex vest underneath.
This spandex vest and the pants he wore were specially made, ensuring they wouldn’t tear from the exertion.
His body, with muscles like rocks, bulging veins, and constant white steam, looked terrifyingly powerful!
In the presence of so many Martial Arts Masters and a Great Grandmaster, he didn’t want to risk using the Myriad Blood Pearl.
Even if in the future he incorporated five types of Implants and had new weapons that would leave no flaws in terms of the number of Implants and weapons, the details of using the Myriad Blood Pearl to absorb damage wouldn’t change.
If today, in front of all these powerful figures, he used Li Fei’s identity to absorb damage using the Myriad Blood Pearl, and one day, the Green-faced Ghost faced these same powerful figures under similar circumstances, there was a risk of being exposed.
Under non-essential circumstances, Li Fei did not want to take such a risk.
So he chose to use medication:
Tiger Subduing Pill, significantly enhancing bodily strength.
Divine Image Pill, significantly enhancing Qi-Blood.
Flowing Heart Pill, significantly enhancing Spiritual Power.
Kangjin Pill, significantly stimulating the Gold Attribute Implant, thereby enhancing Innate Qi and Extraordinary Abilities.
Earth Netherworld Pill, significantly stimulating Earth and Dark Dual Attribute Implants, similarly enhancing Innate Qi and Extraordinary Abilities.
Gold Attribute Primordial Qi Pill, rapidly replenishing Gold Attribute Innate Qi.
Dark Earth Primordial Qi Pill, rapidly replenishing Earth Attribute and Dark Attribute Innate Qi.
Li Fei had taken a bottle of each of these seven types of elixirs!
He simultaneously used the Myriad Blood Pearl to bear the side effects brought by the medications.
As for why others might wonder how he was unaffected by the medications’ side effects.
Couldn’t someone with the fastest record in history have some unique characteristics?
Such unique features didn’t even require Li Fei’s own explanation—people would naturally reason it out for him.
Li Fei stood at the edge of the field and waited a few minutes, allowing the effects and side effects of the medication to fully manifest.
He used the Blood Souls within the Blood Spring to absorb the damage caused by the medication, losing over fifty Blood Souls.
For an average Tao Foundation Stage Martial Artist, it would have cost them half their life!
Severing the connection with the Myriad Blood Pearl, Li Fei walked towards a weapon rack.
This time, he didn’t choose the single-handed long sword he had always used; instead, he moved towards a separate weapon rack.
Placed there was a Straight Slash Blade, two meters and thirty centimeters long, sixty centimeters wide, with a spine one finger wide, an unsharpened edge, and a black blade body.
This was a heavyweight weapon specially prepared by Tianqu University, weighing eight hundred kilograms!
Some Martial Artists who practiced specific Martial Arts techniques would need such heavy weapons.
Li Fei walked up to the weapon rack, grabbed the hilt of the Straight Slash Blade with one hand, and easily lifted it onto his shoulder.
The eight-hundred-jin weapon was lifted with one hand.
Such a feat could be achieved by any martial master, provided they used Innate Qi or Force.
However, Li Fei relied purely on his physical strength to lift the blade.
After consuming a bottle of Tiger Subduing Pill, his physical strength now approximated using 20 Blood Souls to unleash “Blood Rage”!
Li Fei, with the large blade on his shoulder, took one step at a time into the arena.
“It’s just a match, why go to such lengths?” Gan Jingcheng, stroking his chin, watched Li Fei, puzzled.
“Just a few elixirs, Brother Gan need not worry,” Li Fei said nonchalantly.
Li Fei looked at him and sincerely asked, “Brother Gan, how many moves do you plan to let me have?”
Previously, Gan Jingcheng had allowed Wang Fengqing thirty moves; facing the younger Li Fei, it stood to reason he would concede some.
To maintain his grace (and to show off), Gan Jingcheng had indeed planned to yield some moves before the match.
Initially, he considered allowing Li Fei fifty moves, but upon seeing Li Fei gulp down seven bottles of elixirs, he changed his mind: “Seeing Brother Li’s determination, let’s go with thirty moves, within which I will only defend and not attack.”
“Good, Brother is truly generous!” Li Fei gave Gan Jingcheng a thumbs-up.
“Hahaha, Brother Li, please,” Gan Jingcheng, holding his sword with one hand in a reversed grip, gestured for Li Fei to make his move.
Li Fei stepped towards Gan Jingcheng, his pace leisurely.
As he walked towards Gan Jingcheng, one Li Fei after another appeared on the field.
Seeing Li Fei use “Ghostly Shadow” directly did not surprise Gan Jingcheng.
Facing him, Li Fei naturally had to use his strongest tactics from the start.
Soon, the number of clones exceeded ten.
Gan Jingcheng’s smile remained unchanged.
Previously, Li Fei had only used up to six clones, so a higher number under medication was normal.
A few seconds later, the number of clones passed twenty.
Gan Jingcheng’s smile still in place.
The number of clones surpassed thirty.
Gan Jingcheng was slightly surprised.
When the number of clones surpassed forty, Gan Jingcheng’s smile stiffened.
Fifty, sixty, seventy…
As Li Fei reached a distance of thirty meters from Gan Jingcheng, one hundred eight versions of him had appeared on the field!
Excluding the original, Li Fei had used a total of one hundred seven clones!
Everyone in the audience was dumbfounded.
The principle of using “Ghostly Shadow” involves converging clones from one’s own Qi-Blood, Innate Qi, Mind Power, and the surrounding Earth Qi.
Unless in a special environment, the Earth Qi in the environment is usually sufficient.
One’s own Qi-Blood and Life Force’s strength are related; a typical Tao Foundation Stage’s Life Force roughly equals one hundred Blood Souls.
Even without using the Myriad Blood Pearl, Li Fei’s Life Force was four times that of an ordinary Tao Foundation Stage warrior!
After consuming the Divine Image Pill, his Qi-Blood had further intensified, increasing the number of clones.
Additionally, he consumed elixirs that quickly replenished Innate Qi, so there was no worry about running out of ‘Qi.’
Lastly, his Mind Power was far superior to that of Martial Artists at the same realm, only increasing after Dual Cultivation of Magic and Martial Arts.
His Mind Power, already near the Peak of the Tao Foundation Stage, further improved after consuming the Flowing Heart Pill, at least in ‘quantity’, now on par with Qin Zhen and others before their Breakthrough!
Combining all these factors, Li Fei successfully condensed over a hundred clones.
The expressions of those present shifted from initial surprise, bewilderment to confusion, doubt, and finally numbness…
Gan Jingcheng’s expression was indescriptible.
He had originally thought Li Fei intended to use clones to confuse him, just as in his tactics in previous matches.
He had not expected Li Fei to overwhelm with sheer ‘force!’
So this is how the unprecedented history of unreasonableness unfolded!
After condensing one hundred seven clones, Li Fei’s ‘performance’ had not yet ended…
Another chapter will follow tonight.
