Chapter 429: Chapter 375 Another Level 20 Cultivation Technique? (Thanks to ‘Mikkiii’ for the reward as alliance leader)
When the competition started, the first thing Ma Xuan did was organize the team members’ actions, especially the arrangement of the construction personnel.
After all, as the defending side, the higher the completion rate of the building after an hour, the higher the score.
This time, the competition required building a fortress, with the construction materials already placed next to the construction site before the competition began.
“Bo Ziran, Ji Susu… you two are responsible for the construction.”
Ma Xuan pondered for a moment and ultimately decided to leave two people for the construction.
According to his original plan, he should leave three people for the construction, while he took the other two team members to intercept the six opponents.
After all, in Ma Xuan’s view, their team’s strength was far superior to the other side, allowing them to battle with fewer against more, leave more people to build, and score higher.
But Su YanYang’s reminder flashed in his mind, leading him to ultimately decide to play it safe, leaving only Bo Ziran and Ji Susu for construction.
Bo Ziran was a tall young man, and if Zhang Yu were here, he would recognize him as the one who had ignored him when he first joined the group and was flaunting Magic Remains in the competition group.
Ji Susu was a tall biological female, and since she didn’t talk much in the group, Zhang Yu didn’t know her well.
Ma Xuan then said, “Ji Yuanshu, you are responsible for external support.”
Ji Yuanshu’s figure flashed, causing gusts of wind to disappear without a trace.
Meanwhile, while Ma Xuan made the arrangements, the other side’s Shi Huaiyu and his six teammates also darted in like electricity.
Seeing the six opponents shooting towards them like lightning, Ma Xuan directly activated the power of Small Three Harmonies.
The ground roared, and the sky was filled with sand, like a tsunami, engulfing Shi Huaiyu and the others rushing in.
Shi Huaiyu also activated Small Three Harmonies to counter, but Ma Xuan could feel that his junior sister’s cultivation in Small Three Harmonies was evidently not as good as his own. Continuing the competition, Ma Xuan would have the upper hand amidst the sand’s clash.
However, at the next moment, when Zhang Yu’s figure broke through the smoke and dust, crashing towards them from above, Ma Xuan’s gaze slightly tightened.
Regarding Zhang Yu, Ma Xuan, as the former team leader who recruited him, considered himself to understand Zhang Yu very well.
A powerful physique, extremely high resistance to blows, and the using of Nine Heavens Cloud Sky Force to leverage… this indicated a long combat process and serious wear on the Magic Remains.
This was enough to make Zhang Yu a competitor many did not wish to face.
Ma Xuan immediately understood Zhang Yu’s intention.
“Putting Zhang Yu on his own just to disrupt our formation?”
“You seem to be… overestimating him a bit.”
Meanwhile, in mid-air, Zhang Yu crossed his arms, his feet stepping on void, descending like a meteor, breaking through layers of airwaves, and plunging toward them at supersonic speed.
Zhang Yu coldly looked at Ma Xuan and others, his mouth slightly moving, seemingly saying something.
Of course, in supersonic combat, both sides found it difficult to exchange through verbal sound.
But what Zhang Yu said had already been transmitted directly onto everyone’s eye remains via messaging.
This was also a common method of communication in high-speed combat, a basic skill for students in the security department.
Zhang Yu: “Not restraining me will be the thing you regret the most today.”
While studying the many taunts knowledge Shi Huaiyu sent about the security department, Zhang Yu also understood many truths.
For example, plain insults are hardly effective in serious and important battles; combatants won’t be simply provoked.
One must combine the situation and speak words that fit the present condition to naturally trigger anger, discontent, and combat intent in the opponent’s heart…
The most conventional, most widely applicable, easiest successful method is showing off.
When you show off brilliantly and naturally enough, you can stir the opponent’s emotions without them even realizing it’s a provocation, only wanting to fight wholeheartedly—this is the highest level of taunting.
At this moment, with Zhang Yu’s words, both parties’ gazes clashed in the atmosphere, as if two invisible combative wills were squeezing each other.
But Ma Xuan’s movements remained unchanged, still firmly controlling the pervasive sand, engulfing Shi Huaiyu and his comrades like a mountainous tsunami.
Simultaneously, his voice rang through the eye remains, echoing among all team members.
“He’s provoking; don’t be affected.”
“Cong Na, go repel him.”
“Everyone else continues with the original plan; don’t give him a chance to leverage.”
Cong Na looked up at the descending Zhang Yu, grinning, “Leaving the team would be the thing you regret the most today.”
The next moment, she squatted down, her leg muscles rapidly swelling, and extraordinary power exploded instantly.
Bang!
A large pit exploded on the ground, and Cong Na’s figure vanished, smashing through the atmosphere, charging straight at Zhang Yu.
She coldly thought, “In the air, with nowhere to leverage, now you’re just a living target.”
“I know you want to drop down, using your super strong physique and leverage Cultivation Technique to disrupt our position.”
“But I won’t give you that chance.”
Her right palm gathered Gang Qi intensely, her muscles roared explosively, and then a full-force palm shot out, carrying the power to topple mountains and overflow seas, towards Zhang Yu.
Cong Na aimed to use Zhang Yu’s airborne position, with nowhere to leverage, to blast him away in one go.
“This is the best way to deal with Zhang Yu; using strength superiority to suppress and drive him out of the battlefield, giving no chance to entangle.”
Facing Cong Na’s palm strike, Zhang Yu coolly said, “Want to blast me away?”
“That’s exactly what I’m thinking.”
Only to see Zhang Yu also strike with a palm.
But with this palm, there came a series of dragon roars exploding forth.
Roar!
Ten consecutive dragon roars seemed to shake the heavens and split the earth, accompanied by ten dragon-shaped Gang Qi bursting wildly.
This was precisely Xiao Qingxuan’s Nine Dragon Heavenly Gang Palm.
Before they threw Zhang Yu out, Xiao Qingxuan had already blasted out twenty consecutive palms, all hitting Zhang Yu’s Gang Qi, which Zhang Yu temporarily stored using the Nine Heavens Cloud Sky Force.
At this moment, the sudden explosion of ten strikes instantly tore apart Cong Na’s palm power before him, completely engulfing her figure.
“Calm down for a bit, Cong Na.”
Bang!
A loud explosion resounded in mid-air, accompanied by waves spreading out, as Cong Na’s figure flew away with a swoosh.
And after sending Cong Na flying with one move, Zhang Yu continued to accelerate downward, his cold gaze fixed on the people below, his violent battle intent pressing down on everyone.
“Come together.”
As Zhang Yu descended from the sky, striking out with a palm, the dragon-shaped Gang Qi roared like meteors, bombarding the formation below.
Again, he unleashed ten strikes in an instant, thus completely releasing the twenty strikes Xiao Qingxuan had blasted.
This consequently revealed a piece of information to everyone inside and outside who understood the characteristics of the Nine Heavens Cloud Sky Force.
Twenty strikes… Zhang Yu’s Nine Heavens Cloud Sky Force had reached Level 20!
This was the second Level 20 cultivation technique Zhang Yu intended to reveal during the competition, aside from the War Demon Life-Extending Technique.
He said to himself, “After all, on my first day of learning the Nine Heavens Cloud Sky Force in my third year of high school, I already displayed astonishing talent, advanced the level on-site, and eventually defeated Wang Yin.”
“Now, as a sophomore in college, advancing this technique to Level 20 is reasonable.”
And just as the people below were each fending off Xiao Qingxuan’s dragon-shaped Gang Qi, Zhang Yu finally landed on the ground with a bang.
As his feet collided violently with the earth, a visible ripple burst from the ground, waves of air and sand surged in all directions.
Ma Xuan still maintained the Small Three Harmonies state, attacking Shi Huaiyu and others in the distance with Ji Yuanshu, stalling the approach of their main force.
At the same time, he calmly coordinated the team members, with messages emerging within the team members’ Magic Remains.
“Ignore Zhang Yu, the power he borrowed is exhausted.”
“Bo Ziran, Ji Susu, continue to manage the construction.”
“Ji Yuanshu, follow my mark and strike Shi Huaiyu.”
“Cong Na, don’t come over here, coordinate with me to obstruct others.”
“Yang Yan, suppress Zhang Yu by yourself, everyone else, avoid acting recklessly, he will use your strength against you…”
A series of orders were quickly arranged and revealed in all the pupils present.
Yang Yan was a strong-built man wearing alloy armor.
Zhang Yu’s memory of him was when he joined the group, Yang Yan ignored him and discussed Magic Remains with Bo Ziran, and was the most welcoming when Ji Yuanshu joined the team.
Yang Yan took a step forward, and with the ground trembling slightly, his alloy-armored figure charged towards Zhang Yu’s landing spot like a tank.
But just as Ma Xuan gave the order, an overwhelming burst of Formless Cloud Gang erupted from Zhang Yu, swallowing everything like rolling cloud seas.
Within the rolling clouds, Yang Yan looked at the figure approaching him, thinking, “Are they coming for me first?”
Simultaneously, next to everyone present, a blurry figure emerged from the cloud sea, attacking them.
Faced with this situation, nearly everyone instinctively reacted the same way.
“Is Zhang Yu targeting me?”
Without hesitation, Yang Yan threw a punch, and the surging fist force instantly tore the figure apart.
As Zhang Yu’s Formless Warrior was shattered, Yang Yan realized something was wrong and shouted, “Don’t attack!”
But his shout was too late, and as explosions echoed throughout the rolling cloud sea, those present had each shattered the attacking Formless Warrior.
And this meant Zhang Yu had borrowed a strike from each person on the scene.
Then in the next moment, more Formless Warriors emerged, attacking everyone present.
“Yang Yan! Why are you hitting so hard?!”
“Ji Susu! Stop immediately!”
“Bo Ziran! Don’t use that move…”
The surging Gang Qi violently trembled under the impact of power, transmitting waves of forces at overload.
The moves of each opponent were learned and mimicked under the observation of the Three-Eyed Divine Power.
The Fourfold Thinking calculated the battle rhythm of everyone present.
Zhang Yu’s physical body, Mana, mind, martial arts, Dao seed… all utilized to the extreme at this moment, thoroughly showcasing his prowess in group battles, single-handedly throwing the scene into chaos.
Everyone felt the constant onslaught of their teammates’ strength coming towards them.
Faced with such a situation, they couldn’t allow attacks, so they could only fight back, further enabling Zhang Yu to use the Nine Heavens Cloud Sky Force to borrow more moves and power.
