"Quickly?"
"How quickly?"
The reporters were all a little surprised.
After all, almost all of Gao Neng’s previous battles had lasted over an hour. And now, he was actually claiming this one would be fast?
However, that didn’t seem to be the crucial point right now.
Because Gao Neng had drawn his blade.
It was the very blade Li Tiannan had given him.
The mont the long, black blade appeared, the surrounding temperature seed to drop.
As challengers who had made it into the top 300 of the Dragon List, their judgnt was naturally sharp. The mont they saw the long, black blade in Gao Neng’s hand, their expressions shifted slightly.
"What a fine blade!" a challenger couldn’t help but exclaim.
anwhile, in the crowd, Zhang Hongying’s heart felt like a storm-tossed sea.
’Gao Neng’s behavior today is off!’
’Accepting challenges from ten people at once?!’
’And he said it would be over quickly.’
’Now he’s taken out a blade of such high quality. What is he planning?’
She couldn’t figure it out.
All she could do was watch.
The challenger holding the number 1 token soon stepped forward. He was a young man around thirty years old, holding a long spear.
"Li Wuque of the Jinxi Li Family!" the number one challenger announced his na.
"Mm," Gao Neng nodded.
"Begin!" Gui Zian actually had many questions of his own, but since Gao Neng was the one accepting the challenges, he couldn’t say much.
At his command, the surrounding reporters quickly backed away.
Li Wuque raised his spear and thrust. At the sa ti, a distinct mist emanated from his body, spreading out with a pungent odor.
As Li Wuque thrust his spear, his body flickered in and out of view as if rging with the mist. He looked unreal, more like a shadow stabbing toward Gao Neng.
But Gao Neng acted as if he hadn’t seen any of it.
He charged straight into the mist.
"Gao Neng is going to lose!" one of the challengers declared.
Li Wuque’s spear thrust looked incredibly fierce, but it was actually a feint.
By charging in like that, Gao Neng was sure to lose.
Of course, that was what a normal person would think.
But the reality was...
The mont Gao Neng rushed into the mist, the ground began to shake. Then, a cloud of dust flew up, instantly mixing with the mist.
HUMMM!
The blade sang.
A blue light flashed within the mist.
A series of crackling sounds echoed relentlessly.
"You..." Li Wuque’s terrified voice ca from within the mist.
Then, he went flying.
His body shot backward out of the mist.
He landed right on the ground.
A bloody gash stretching from his shoulder to his chest was spurting blood. As for the long spear in his hand, it had already fallen to the ground.
"This is what I ant by ’quickly.’" Gao Neng’s figure erged from the mist, his blade resting on his shoulder, blood dripping from its edge.
HISS!
"A one-hit kill?!"
"Li Wuque is a Tier Six, isn’t he?!"
The challengers sucked in a cold breath.
The reporters, on the other hand, looked completely bewildered. Their strength wasn’t enough to see what had happened, as everything had taken place within the mist.
But there was one thing they did know.
Gao Neng had only used one strike.
One slash to take down a Tier Six!
How was that possible?!
The reporters’ eyes were about to pop out of their sockets.
It wasn’t just them. The viewers across the Alliance watching the battle on their phones and TVs were so shocked their jaws were about to hit the floor.
’This isn’t like before!’
They hadn’t even had a chance to crack open their lon seeds.
The fight was already over?
It was too fast!
Zhang Hongying subconsciously took a step forward. Her vision was naturally far superior to that of the other challengers and reporters around her.
She had seen it clearly.
Inside the mist, Li Wuque had been hiding his figure.
But Gao Neng had charged straight toward him, then raised his blade... and struck. The whole sequence was as fluid as flowing water; it almost looked like Li Wuque had run right onto Gao Neng’s blade himself.
’The dust... was he using the dust to perceive him? No... that’s not it. The dust was to confuse Li Wuque!’ Zhang Hongying analyzed rapidly in her mind.
Li Wuque had tried to use the mist to confuse Gao Neng.
But Gao Neng had given him a taste of his own dicine, using the dust to blind Li Wuque before charging right up to him.
One Slash!
"It’s Spiritual Power!" Zhang Hongying understood.
In the face of Spiritual Power, all deceptive techniques were futile. The fact that Gao Neng possessed Spiritual Power had actually been exposed a long ti ago.
It was just that Gao Neng hadn’t used it during his recent challenges, so so of the challengers had gradually overlooked this fact.
’But the power of that slash...’
’Why was it so strong?!’
’Even if Li Wuque fell for the trick, he shouldn’t have been defeated in a single blow, right?’
Zhang Hongying’s gaze shifted to the defeated Li Wuque. She saw a dazed look on his face, his eyes utterly vacant.
"There was sothing wrong with that slash!" Zhang Hongying was certain that Gao Neng’s last strike must have contained so kind of special ability.
’But what was it?’
For now, she couldn’t figure it out.
"Gao Neng... wins!" Before Gui Zian said this, his mouth had actually been hanging open. Even he hadn’t expected it to be so fast.
He knew Gao Neng had been hiding his strength.
But he didn’t know his strength had reached such an exaggerated level.
"Alright, next! It’s number 2’s turn! Who’s number 2?" Fang Tangtang, on the other hand, wasn’t surprised at all. The stronger Gao Neng was, the happier she beca.
Everyone’s gaze imdiately turned to a young man among the challengers holding the number 2 token.
And the face of the number 2 challenger was a bit dazed.
’It’s my turn already?!’
’What the hell is going on?!’ The number 2 challenger really felt like cursing. ’What happened to him being seriously poisoned? What happened to kicking a man when he’s down?’
When the others ca to challenge him, each fight lasted at least an hour or two.
But now that it was his turn...
’One guy goes up and gets sent flying by a single slash?’
’This isn’t how the script is supposed to go!’
He really wanted to convince himself that it was just because that trash Li Wuque was too weak, but the problem was, his own rank on the Dragon List was only three places higher than Li Wuque’s.
How weak could Li Wuque possibly be?
"Where’s number 2? Who is number 2? If you don’t co up now, we’ll count it as a forfeit!" Fang Tangtang continued to shout.
"I am!" The number 2 challenger finally stepped forward.
"You’re number 2?" Gao Neng took a step forward, arriving beside the young man.
"That’s right, I am..."
CLANG!
The number 2 challenger hadn’t even finished his self-introduction when a blue light flashed. Then, he saw a blade hacking down toward him.
’A dirty trick?!’ The number 2 challenger was startled, but not panicked.
’Catching the enemy off guard for a fatal blow.’
’He had done such things himself.’
So, he calmly prepared to dodge to the right while simultaneously cursing, "Shaless Gao Neng, you dare sneak attack this young master!"
But he never got to shout his curse.
Because as the blade descended, he found he couldn’t move his body. It felt as if he were bound by an imnse force.
BOOM!
With a loud bang, the number 2 challenger went flying.
In mid-air, blood sprayed like a blooming flower.
Gao Neng’s stance hadn’t changed, the position of the slash hadn’t changed, and even the wound on challenger number 2 was identical to the one on number 1.
THUD!
The number 2 challenger crashed to the ground.
His eyes were completely vacant, his face filled only with confusion. He didn’t even know what had just happened to him.
He only knew that his head hurt terribly.
His body hurt, too.
The pain was so bad he couldn’t get up at all.
"Two hundred million in the bag. Alright, ti for number 3!" Gao Neng nodded, sheathing his long black blade once again and looking ahead.
"Number 3, get up here! Where’s number 3? Hurry up and co out!" Fang Tangtang imdiately shouted.
"..."
"..."
The field fell silent.
Then, a thunderous uproar erupted.
The students from the Eastern Capital Military Academy watching at the school gate went wild.
"Junior Gao Neng is so strong!"
"Eastern Capital Military Academy will be victorious!"
"Gao Neng will be victorious!"
Two battles, two victories, and with only two slashes. The students of the Eastern Capital Military Academy had never enjoyed a victory like the one before them. How could they not be overjoyed?
But compared to the students of the Eastern Capital Military Academy,
the reporters were left with truly mixed feelings.
Yesterday, Gao Neng had looked like he was on the verge of death, seriously poisoned, rolling around on the training ground for two hours before barely defeating his opponent.
But today?
Two battles, two wins, in under two minutes.
It was too fast!
So fast it was unbelievable.
"Do I still need to answer that question from before?" Gao Neng’s gaze shifted, landing right on the reporter who had asked it earlier.
"..." The reporter froze.
’Does he still need to answer?’
’Of course not!’
Gao Neng had already answered his question with his actions.
Why change the rules?
Because Gao Neng had gotten stronger!
If he had sold the exclusive broadcasting rights to one TV station like usual, at a rate of thirty million per minute, the station’s budget would probably have exploded.
"It’s Spiritual Power! The Spiritual Power was imbued into the blade!" Zhang Hongying finally understood why those two challengers had been so utterly crushed.
Gao Neng had used his Spiritual Power.
And he had fused it with his blade.
These challengers before her were quite strong, most having reached Tier Six. But when it ca to Spiritual Power, the difference between them and Gao Neng was like heaven and earth.
One had to rember that Gao Neng had used his Spiritual Power to injure Leidong of Beihai Military Academy.
How old was Leidong this year?
Forty-eight years old!
He was at the Tier Six Late Stage, and infinitely close to reaching the high tiers. He was an absolute powerhouse among those at the Tier Six Late Stage. After all, anyone who has spent a decade at Tier Six is bound to be formidable.
Beads of sweat appeared on Zhang Hongying’s forehead.
’Fusing Spiritual Power with combat techniques... That’s a high-tier combat thod! Gao Neng has already mastered it? And he can fuse them so perfectly?!’
’How did he do it?!’
"Where’s number 3? Who is number 3? Don’t waste ti! If you’re going to fight, then hurry up and fight! If you don’t co out, it’ll be a forfeit!" Fang Tangtang’s voice continued to echo at the gate of the Eastern Capital Military Academy.
