Shi Jian gave Xiao Yan a big thumbs up, his face a mask of false sincerity.
"My Brother Xiao is truly tough! He endured a beating for so long and didn't even utter a sound!"
Xiao Yan, whose virtual body had just finished regenerating, forced an ugly smile. He secretly grumbled in his heart.
'Was I not trying to make a sound?'
'Was I not trying to admit defeat?'
'I wanted to admit defeat after the first hit!'
'But I was stunned by that first blow! I was beaten senseless and had no chance to speak!'
Looking at the pure, unadulterated schadenfreude in their eyes, Xiao Yan wanted to cry but had no tears.
…
The title of "Champion" changed from Xiao Yan to ng Qi.
ng Qi stood on the stage, his hands clasped behind his back, waiting for others to challenge him.
After the crowd below the stage rolled the dice in the group chat, a new challenger was quickly chosen!
It was Luo Feng!
On the arena adorned with beautiful, ancient patterns, Luo Feng and ng Qi faced each other from a distance.
ng Qi's status had been refreshed. A heavy, yellowish-brown Qi flowed around his body, and the surrounding space seed to thicken and confine.
A wave of imnse, unbreachable pressure emanated from him, making Luo Feng's expression solemn.
Luo Feng was a bit slender, stepping on the Dark Cloud Shuttle. He carried the complex, dark golden Yan Shen Weapon on his back. He was the standard, perfect appearance of a Psychic Controller!
[Inorin's Note: The "Dark Cloud Shuttle" is Luo Feng's F-grade transportation. The "Yan Shen Weapon" is a powerful psychic-controlled weapon, far superior to normal ones.]
Looking at ng Qi opposite him, Luo Feng's pupils constricted.
To be honest, Luo Feng wasn't very confident about facing ng Qi.
Even Xiao Yan's terrifying, all-burning Heavenly Flas couldn't do anything to ng Qi's defense.
Luo Feng didn't think his own attacks could defeat ng Qi.
However, since he was on the stage, he had to give it a try!
The mont the match began, Luo Feng stood in the Void Realm on his Dark Cloud Shuttle, and streaks of dark golden light shot out from behind him.
These streaks of light ford golden, illusory swords, which, entwined with golden Qi currents, roared and charged towards ng Qi!
When the golden streaks of light approached ng Qi's yellowish-brown Domain, their power was instantly weakened by a decelerating, heavy aura.
Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang!
The golden illusory swords struck ng Qi's body, but it was like throwing pebbles at a mountain. They didn't cause any ripples.
ng Qi's body moved abruptly. He didn't use a movent technique; he simply charged, like a tyrannical Dragon, and rocketed towards Luo Feng.
Luo Feng's figure blurred for a mont. He used the "Nine Line Flow," leaving nine illusory figures in the Void Realm, while his true body retreated far away!
"Heaven Piercing Style!"
One golden illusory sword after another stacked and fused. Countless dense golden threads darted about, finally combining into a single, three-foot-long golden sword.
The golden sword was entirely composed of psychic power, yet at this mont, it had no illusionary quality, as if it truly existed. Its surface bore mysterious, ancient patterns, exuding an aura of sharpness!
Yan Shen Weapon, Second Stage! Heaven Piercing Style!
[Inorin's Note: The "Yan Shen Weapon" has multiple forms. The "Heaven Piercing Style" is a high-level single-point attack, designed to pierce strong defenses.]
When fighting ng Qi, Luo Feng did not use many of the cultivation techniques from the group.
Speaking of the cultivation techniques in the group...
Everyone's templates were quite similar. They all knew the basics of each other's powers.
One could say they were taught by the sa master, so there was no way to break each other's moves with those sa techniques.
Luo Feng wisely used the thods from the Swallowed Star world.
The thods he had access to in the Swallowed Star world certainly couldn't compare to Divine Abilities like the Great Five Elents Technique.
However...
They were the most suitable for him in the current situation.
"Whoosh!"
The golden sword, entwined with golden Qi currents, shot directly at ng Qi like a cot, leaving a long golden Qi trail.
The yellowish-brown Domain in front of ng Qi vibrated.
Luo Feng's attack, like a needle and thread, directly pierced through the yellowish-brown Domain, retaining seventy to eighty percent of its power.
"Breaking through a surface with a single point? Interesting!" ng Qi's voice rumbled.
"Then let see whose comprehension of the Law of Gold is superior!"
ng Qi radiated a brilliant golden light all over, his entire body appearing as if coated in golden paint. He faced Luo Feng's golden light directly, not even dodging.
Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding!
A series of sharp, tallic clanging sounds rang out, echoing across the arena.
Luo Feng's expression changed as he heard the sounds.
He still couldn't break through his defense.
ng Qi soared into the sky with one step, and a long, heavy saber suddenly appeared in his hand. He slashed fiercely, and a terrifying pressure instantly enveloped Luo Feng.
Luo Feng's figure transford into nine illusions to evade.
The golden sword once again stabbed towards ng Qi.
…
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
The golden sword stabbed at ng Qi again and again, but all were withstood by ng Qi's turtle-shell-like defense.
However, ng Qi couldn't take down Luo Feng in a short ti either.
Luo Feng's nine illusory bodies were extrely fast, like a slippery loach. ng Qi's powerful, sweeping attacks hit nothing but air.
…
The crowd below breathed a collective sigh of relief after watching their battle.
"Damn it... This is a fight."
"Finally, soone fought in a style similar to ours. It wasn't easy to see."
Luo Feng's fighting style was that of a pure Psychic Controller, and ng Qi was fighting like a pure Warrior. This was a classic matchup.
Although the power was still a tiny bit stronger than theirs, they were all normal psychic controller thods, simple and unadorned in combat.
It was completely different from the previous few, who caused celestial phenona and golden flowers to fall with every move.
Those weren't fights; they were mythology. They weren't even in the sa dinsion!
Looking at Luo Feng, the native geniuses all felt a sense of familiarity.
…
Soon...
Ti passed by minute by minute.
Luo Feng felt increasingly irritated as he fought.
Facing ng Qi, who was like a living, moving turtle shell, he genuinely had ten thousand "mmp"s in his heart.
[Inorin's Note: "mmp" is Chinese internet slang, an acronym for a common curse phrase, expressing extre frustration.]
He used every ans, every angle, every technique... but none could do anything to ng Qi.
He even tried Soul attacks.
They were useless against ng Qi. His Primordial Spirit was just as tough as his body.
He was too tough!
And ng Qi, in terms of speed, was slightly inferior to him, but this guy had extrely strong explosive power.
Luo Feng basically only dared to use psychic power for long-range harassnt. He didn't dare to get close at all.
If he got close, he knew he would be instantly killed by one of ng Qi's terrifying saber strikes.
In other words...
ng Qi could do whatever he wanted, tanking hits and attacking leisurely.
If Luo Feng made even one slight operational mistake, he would lose.
ng Qi's Domain suppression was truly too powerful.
Bang, bang, bang!
After enduring for a while longer, Luo Feng's concentration finally wavered.
Luo Feng was caught by ng Qi exploiting a tiny, fractional flaw in his movent.
ng Qi's saber flashed. His head was instantly blown off...
He lost.
Facing ng Qi's turtle-shell-like defense, Luo Feng was truly powerless to break through.
ng Qi won two consecutive matches, accumulating two points!
…
Seeing Luo Feng's body regenerated, the people in the group chat briefly comforted him.
Xiao Yan, who had already fully recovered, was enjoying the show and egged on the others.
"Go up and punish him! This bald guy is too arrogant! I rember when we first t, this bald guy was the weakest among us!"
"Back then, he was so obsequious, but now look… he doesn't even put us in his eyes!"
"It's nothing to , anyway. I've already lost to him, I admit defeat. But can you guys admit defeat?"
Everyone rolled their eyes at him upon hearing that.
Shi Jian scornfully said, "Why wouldn't we admit defeat? We're not the ones who got beaten into a pig's head, are we?"
Xiao Yan: "..."
…
After another selection by dice roll...
A new challenger appeared.
Fang Han!
As soon as he entered the arena, his Five Elents Domain unfolded, and a magnificent, five-colored Domain Canopy appeared above his head.
[Inorin's Note: The "Domain Canopy" is a defensive technique from Eternal Life, manifested here as a Domain, representing the circulation of the Five Elents.]
"ng Qi! We are true n! Let's go all out and clash!"
Fang Han threw a punch, and a surge of wild, primordial power instantly condensed, then poured out.
He didn't adopt the circuitous, kiting fighting style of others. He went straight for a true man's PK.
Close-quarters combat.
"Perfect!" ng Qi shouted excitedly upon seeing this. He then unhesitatingly threw a punch to et him.
The battle with Luo Feng just now...
Had also made him quite annoyed.
He could have killed him in one move, but he just couldn't hit him.
It dragged on for so long.
Now, Fang Han wanting to engage him in close combat suited his intentions perfectly!
His entire body glowed with golden light, and behind him, a phantom of a divine Buddha seed to appear. He unleashed a punch that seed to swallow mountains and rivers.
Such a punch...
Was powerful to the extre.
Heaven and earth overturned. Only the roaring sound of breaking the Void Realm emanated.
Fang Han showed no weakness.
"I want to see if your Golden Body is tougher, or if my Domain Canopy is tougher!"
He t him head-on, leaping up like a Heavenly Phoenix spreading its wings.
His fists glowed, and five-colored light circulated.
The Five Elents Fist, a boxing technique he developed based on the Five Elents Domain.
Their fists clashed.
Instantly, the sun and moon lost their light, heaven and earth lost their color, as if a multitude of demons were weeping and all gods were perishing.
Fang Han's Domain Canopy unfurled, and lightning intertwined in the sky, unleashing endless thunder.
ng Qi unleashed his full power. Faint "Dharma Bodies" appeared behind him. These Dharma Bodies ford phantom images of gods and demons that constantly rose and fell!
[Inorin's Note: A "Dharma Body" or "Dharmakaya" is a high-level ability in ng Qi's world. Here, in a virtual body, he is simulating them with psychic power.]
ng Qi's virtual body, naturally, could not cultivate a true Dharma Body.
However, in his Sea of Consciousness, his psychic power intertwined, forming countless phantom images of gods and demons. These phantom images, under the influence of his psychic power, rose and fell in the world.
They existed just like real Dharma Bodies.
The two exchanged blows, actually creating celestial phenona.
One had lightning intertwined around his body, unleashing bolts of divine lightning, like a heavenly punishnt.
The other had phantom images of gods and demons constantly appearing and then perishing, like a god-king.
The scene was terrifying beyond compare.
Such a clash shocked everyone.
What kind of thods and Divine Might was this?
People like Bolan felt their Dao Heart collapse one by one, their future paths appearing bleak.
In the previous match, Luo Feng had only perford normally.
Now, the intensity was increasing again, wasn't it?
Let alone these contestants...
Those Immortal-level experts watching were stunned.
The clash between these two Stellar-level individuals was even more impressive and profound than the fights of so of their Immortal counterparts.
As the two exchanged blows, each strike was filled with surging blood Qi and Divine Power that oppressed the world.
The two separated...
Passing each other.
"Let's fight to our hearts' content!"
After just one powerful punch against Fang Han, ng Qi turned and launched another attack, completely abandoning defense and focusing solely on offense.
It was a brute-force, all-in fighting style.
"My pleasure..."
Seeing his deanor, Fang Han smiled silently, then charged forward again.
Rumble, rumble!
Between the two, mist surged, fierce flas burned the sky, lightning intertwined, and Laws blossod, creating an extrely grand spectacle.
The arena, which was tens of miles wide, was torn apart by them like a painting.
ng Qi was invincibly brave, fighting with wide, sweeping, tyrannical movents.
Fang Han soared into the sky, his magical power surging, erupting with endless Divine Radiance.
However, upon closer inspection, one could see that his fist, which was originally enveloped by a Five Elents Domain, had, at so unknown point, been covered with a faint, almost invisible layer of green light.
Every ti he exchanged blows with ng Qi, a portion of that green light from his hand would transfer to ng Qi's body.
The power of both was absolute, each punch stronger than the last.
This was a world-shaking confrontation.
As their fist imprints collided, boundless Divine Radiance instantly erupted.
It was incredibly powerful.
Everyone at the sa realm trembled.
Even a trace of the overflowing aura was enough to chill one's heart and Soul, utterly unstoppable.
People like Bolan were completely dumbfounded.
…
"Only attack, no defense... Goodness, they're really going all out, punch for punch!"
Seeing the battle between the two, so in the group sighed.
One cultivated the Five Elents Canopy, with the Five Elents Domain circulating around him, forming a self-contained system capable of blocking all attacks.
The other cultivated the Origin Law of tal, the Origin Law of Earth, and the Origin Law of Space.
The three combined were incredibly profound.
Although there were only three Domains, which sounded like less than Fang Han's five, ng Qi possessed imnse talent.
Moreover, it wasn't that he couldn't use other Domains; he just didn't need to.
Both relied on their high defense to directly exchange blows.
…
Both possessed extraordinary auras, far from ordinary.
Fang Han, needless to say, as the reincarnated "Gate of Eternal Life," his power was enough to shake everything, his deanor peerless and ethereal like an immortal.
His fighting style was very fierce, but his attacks were devoid of worldly flair, yet terrifyingly boundless, as if they could obliterate everything.
The two instantly exchanged more than a dozen blows. Fang Han rushed past, spread his arms, and a five-colored light burst forth, dazzlingly beautiful.
He was like a Phoenix soaring, bringing endless Divine Might, attacking from beyond the heavens.
ng Qi let out a long roar, his arms glowing. The figure behind him beca clearer, like a God King. His figure ford hand seals, charging towards Fang Han.
Fang Han was strong.
But ng Qi was also very strong.
When he first joined the chat group, he was incredibly weak.
Even a common dicinal Pill from Xiao Yan was a great help to him.
However, although the lower limit of his world was low, its upper limit was incredibly high.
Now, he was far from ordinary.
The two were like demonic flas burning the Nine Heavens, clashing from all directions, intertwining and separating.
Their power was imnse.
Two supre beings were fighting, erupting with dazzling light, each exchange like a Divine Sword tearing through the Void Realm.
This was a terrifying collision.
The two casually grappled and fought, breaking through the Nine Heavens, creating astonishing scenes.
Those watching once again doubted their lives.
Heaven and earth collapsed.
Such power...
If it were in the outside world, a planet would probably be shattered by them.
After several exchanges, it seed no victor was decided.
However, at so unknown point, a definite hint of green had appeared on ng Qi's body.
During another fierce exchange, just as they were about to separate, Fang Han suddenly clapped his hands repeatedly. A surge of rolling, insidious poisonous Qi emanated.
The poisonous Qi transford into sharp arrows, instantly piercing into ng Qi's body.
These poisonous arrows contained virulent runes, and the poisonous Qi condensed into various ant-sized demonic gods, all roaring and manifesting world-destroying abilities!
ng Qi already had a hint of green on him from the previous blows, and now, suddenly encountering the poisonous arrows, his body instantly stiffened.
His entire body was instantly covered in a sick, deep green.
He felt his actions and thoughts slow down.
Fang Han struck fiercely at this exact mont.
The attack that ng Qi would normally have been able to block now seed as fast as lightning to him.
The venom corroded his entire body, accumulating layer by layer.
ng Qi felt as if he had returned to his childhood, when he was on Earth.
Every winter, he would wear bulky, thick clothes, and his movents would slow down accordingly, losing all agility.
And now, with this poisonous Qi corrosion, he also couldn't shake off this sluggish, heavy feeling!
He saw this punch.
He couldn't dodge it at all.
With a bang...
ng Qi was sent flying; he was injured.
The poisonous Qi not only corroded his perception but also his defense.
The Domain constructed by the Law of tal and the Law of Earth was indeed unparalleled in defense, but this poison had already penetrated deep into his bones.
ng Qi had no ti to react before Fang Han's fist arrived again.
His fist seed erratic, falling punch after punch.
A Domain instantly unfolded. The Domain of Water.
The montum of heaven and earth changed.
The Void Realm was filled with layer upon layer of biting coldness, completely cutting off ng Qi's connection with the outside world.
His senses were already greatly diminished by the poison, and now, feeling the ice ford by the Domain of Water, he felt his entire body freeze.
His movents beca even slower.
Fang Han's fists continuously landed on him, and ng Qi was basically powerless to resist.
All opportunities were controlled by Fang Han.
ng Qi couldn't even retreat...
"Damn it... You're playing dirty! Poisoning !"
His movents were frozen.
However, ng Qi was already cursing up a storm in his mind.
He hadn't expected Fang Han to be so insidious.
He talked about fighting him like a true man, but secretly, he was poisoning him from the first punch.
'His fists were poisoned, right?'
ng Qi guessed he must have fallen for the Great Poison Technique.
[Inorin's Note: The "Great Poison Technique" (Dà Dú Shù) is one of the 3,000 Great Daos from Eternal Life, an insidious and powerful ability.]
Fang Han had too many tricks up his sleeve.
He was truly unpredictable.
Among everyone in the group, Fang Han was probably the one with the most skills.
Even though he had changed his body and cultivation system...
But, the techniques he could use were still many, many.
He was very balanced.
And he was playing dirty again.
Being tricked by him... seed normal, didn't it?
ng Qi sighed inwardly, but he wasn't completely without the power to retaliate.
What he knew was not just the Law of tal, the Law of Earth, and the Law of Space.
The next mont, all other Laws were summoned by him and then integrated into the Law of Space.
The space in front of him shook.
Fang Han's fist wavered slightly.
ng Qi keenly noticed this. He raised his hand, and the Law of tal condensed into a long saber in his hand.
The long saber swept out, drawing half a Tai Chi symbol in the Void Realm.
It instantly struck Fang Han's fist from the side, avoiding the sharp edge.
Using a small force to deflect a great one.
Fang Han seed surprised that he still had the power to resist, but his reaction was also very quick. He flicked his wrist, like soone catching a snake, and flexibly struck ng Qi's hand.
ng Qi changed his saber technique, altering his move.
The next mont, Fang Han's hand followed like a shadow.
A saber and a hand danced like butterflies, creating a beautiful and agile scene.
In the Void Realm, thunder snakes and snowflakes flew, ice and lightning rged into one color.
After several consecutive moves, Fang Han struck fiercely, both hands attacking simultaneously!
ng Qi took a deep breath. He raised his other hand, and a long sword instantly appeared.
Countless electric lights floated, gathering on the long sword.
The next mont, the long sword pierced out like a needle, and a small vortex appeared at the tip of the sword.
Blade and sword clashed.
Fists and feet t.
ng Qi's saber light was like a fish leaping over the Dragon Gate, carrying the posture of lightning and thunder, heading straight for Fang Han!
Fang Han's arms swayed, the Five Elents Qi circulated, dragging the long saber, forcing ng Qi to change his move.
ng Qi retreated, slashing forward with his long saber, which then split into two, two into four, four into eight... the blade light forming a net of heaven and earth.
From within the blade net, his voice ca:
"Do you really think I only know the Indestructible Golden Body?"
"Although my blade and sword techniques are not graceful, their power is real..."
"I, Mang Jin Gang..."
[Inorin's Note: "Mang Jin Gang" (莽金刚) is ng Qi's self-deprecating nickna, aning "Reckless Vajra," highlighting his tanky, straightforward nature.]
"...but I am also..."
"A master of both blade and sword!"
