The square, which had been bustling just a mont before, was now as silent as death. Only the synthetic voice of the chanical calculator announced the upcoming matches.
Even when factoring in the ti for the two competitors' harsh declarations, the contest had ended incredibly quickly—so quickly that by the ti they finished fighting, the calculator hadn't even finished announcing the arrangents for the hundredth match.
Even the disciples competing in the adjacent arenas—Block A Number 2 and Block B Numbers 1 and 2—had stopped their fights, staring dumbfounded at the lone figure of Wang Qi and Fa Xiong, who was rolling on the ground, howling in pain.
Even Chen Jingyun and Deng Jiaxuan, the two Grandmasters, looked at each other, faces filled with disbelief.
This can't be, it absolutely can't be!
This defies the Heavenly Dao!
Had Wang Qi practiced any body-refining techniques? How did he face a Thunder Battle Body practitioner, who was at least at the fourth level, head-on?
After a long while, Bao Xiaoya spoke with a hint of derision tinged with shock, "That idiot… It's no secret that Wang Qi knows the Heavenly Entropy Technique, yet he foolishly charged in for close combat…"
The Heavenly Entropy Technique, a bizarre cultivation technique that led order to chaos. Just a trace of Heavenly Entropy power needed to be channeled into the opponent's body, and they would fall into a state of deviation. To engage in close combat with Wang Qi ant that as soon as one was struck, the battle was over.
However, due to the chaotic nature of entropy-increasing power, it was difficult to form spells. Besides extrely powerful moves like the Silent Annihilation Sky Burning Palm, the entropy-increasing power of the Heavenly Entropy Technique couldn't extend far. Thus, in Bao Xiaoya's view, the smartest approach against such an enemy was to attack from a distance with spells or to buffer with a weapon. Engaging in close quarters was the most foolish act.
Yet, a murmur from a companion next to Bao Xiaoya silenced her—"How on earth did that guy train his body?"
This physical strength was definitely beyond the Foundation Establishnt Stage!
Ai Changyuan watched Wang Qi and silently sensed for a mont before opening his eyes, "There hasn't been much change in the quality of his body; it's not due to body refining techniques."
Lu Qianqian was dumbfounded, "But, but he clearly caught the iron fragnt shot by the electric crossbow magnetic string with his bare hands! That speed, even a bull would have been pierced through!"
After pondering for a mont, Ai Changyuan wondered, "Could it be the Heavenly Song?"
"The… Heavenly Song? How could the Heavenly Song possess such terrifying strength?"
On the other side, Mao Zimiao also raised the sa question.
Catching on to sothing, Wu Shiqin explained, "Zimiao, have you heard of the concept of the Four Powers of Heaven Opening? The Strong Force fuses protons, neutrons, and electrons to form atoms, the Weak Force governs decay, and Gravity causes matter to cluster on a macroscopic level—The remaining force, which turns matter into actual entities and gives different properties to materials, is the Electromagnetic Force. The hardness, strength, acidity, temperature of materials, all are determined by electromagnetic force…"
To use an Earthly analogy, the physical and chemical properties of an object are all determined by the atomic structure within. And the chemical bonds that define the atomic structure are determined by electromagnetic force.
The saying "With mana reinforcent, even grass and leaves can beco swords, and plucking petals and flowers can cause injury" illustrates this principle. Mana is a multiplier of energy; the mana reinforced on a weapon also strengthens the chemical bonds between atoms. Normally, this enhancent is unconscious, and only a portion of mana is consud in the process.
What Wang Qi had just done was use the majority of his Heavenly Song power to strengthen the chemical bonds in his physical body, binding every atom in his body firmly. This was a deliberate act, so the effect was a thousand tis stronger than any True Qi protection or mana reinforcent!
Unless Fa Xiong could punch so hard that he caused nuclear fission and triggered a chain reaction, he would not be able to break through Wang Qi's defense!
However, this spell was not without its flaws. The strengthening of the chemical bonds was purely a physical enhancent; an enemy only needed to use the skill to strike from afar, channeling mana to directly target Wang Qi's internal organs, or aiming for his soul.
On the rooftops of Tongtan Building, Chen Jingyun, Deng Jiaxuan, and several other Grandmasters were also puzzled.
"I understand the technique of strengthening material bonds, but he clearly didn't use mana for protection. How could he..."
Deng Jiaxuan was the first to recover, "Prison Thunder Cage."
The Prison Thunder Cage, known on Earth as the Faraday Cage, can zero out electric potential, a mysterious construct that isolates both internal and external electromagnetic environnts, the theoretical basis of the Prison Thunder Spell.
A grandmaster exclaid in shock, "It's impossible for him to use the Prison Thunder Spell without us noticing!"
Deng Jiaxuan explained, "Ionic bonds and tallic bonds are types of material bonds. He can strengthen material bonds, and naturally, he can also dismantle them. By separating so charged particles, enhancing the conductivity of muscles and bones, for his fragile organs, his torso becos a Prison Thunder Cage!"
Chen Jingyun said, "I am more concerned about one thing—although the Heavenly Song directly points to the nature of electromagnetic force, can soone in the Qi Cultivation Stage really use such a spell?"
Deng Jiaxuan said softly, "Quantum Field... He has combined the Great Discrete Coincidence and Heavenly Song, quantum magic power makes the operation much simpler."
A grandmaster cried out, "Is he really a Banished Immortal?"
Deng Jiaxuan's mood suddenly turned sowhat bitter, "Originally, Teacher Ke Ha'er said it was fifty-fifty... neither high nor low, this probability."
"One look at his performance makes lean towards him not being one... What kind of Banished Immortal could act like this?"
Deng Jiaxuan held his forehead, "Perhaps he doesn't necessarily agree with the principles, just relying on the Banished Immortal's delicate control of mana to get by? It can't be completely ruled out..."
Chen Jingyun then sighed, "The Great Task is still underway... Even if there is only a one percent chance he is a Banished Immortal, I can't let him enter the mountain gate of Wanfa Sect."
The astonished grandmaster pondered for a mont, "Hmm, that part of the plan is undertaken jointly by the Wanfa Sect, Thousand chanism Pavilion, Guiyi Alliance's Thunder Pavilion, and Mysterious Palace... He might not suit joining these sects, but other sects are definitely possible! Tianling Ridge, Burning Gold Valley, other parts of Guiyi Alliance are fine. Considering his cultivation in the Heavenly Entropy Technique, joining my Fentian Prefecture would also be excellent!"
Chen Jingyun closed his eyes, "I will have soone persuade him."
Amid countless contemporaneous disciples silent as cicadas in winter, Wang Qi, with hands clasped behind his back, strolled lazily to a corner of Xinyue's camp, crossed his arms, and leaned against an ornantal tree.
Ai Changyuan clicked his tongue in amazent, "This guy, really a whimsical person."
Strong! Whimsical!
A frightening fellow.
In the Leiyang camp, Bao Xiaoya clenched her sword tightly, the sword scabbard digging deep into her palm.
Although she had only t this guy twice, each ti she saw him, she had to completely revise her understanding of him. Regarding this guy, it seems no matter how much you raise your opinion, it's never too much!
More and more geniuses one by one revealed serious expressions.
Is this the strength that can contend with Ai Changyuan? Can I really defeat him?
Soon, Sun Sheng pushed the fear back down inside him. In his eyes, only the fighting spirit remained.
"I am not that easily defeated! The path of Heavenly Calculation is all about growing stronger through setbacks!"
