In a Martial World High, There’s a Mystical Great World – Chapter 56

Chapter 56: Rising Fame

“That’s right, and I will definitely win!” An Yiyi said this even in front of Bai Shayan, and even added, “After defeating you, my next target is Bai Shahai.”

This sentence seemed to touch something, making Bai Shayan’s originally gloomy eyes show a hint of pity.

“Even if you can defeat me, you have no idea what kind of monster that person is.”

“It’s precisely because you have this kind of thinking that I will definitely win!” An Yiyi, who had already changed into her combat suit, turned her head and walked towards the combat area. “Your heart is filled with fear of others, you are not worthy of being a martial artist, you should give up this path as soon as possible.”

“I’m not worthy of being a martial artist?”

Even the usually gloomy Bai Shayan’s face couldn’t help but flush red at this moment.

His gaze became fierce, and without saying a word, he went to change into his combat suit.

However, Shen Xing, looking at his already rapid breathing, couldn’t help but think.

An Yiyi… is this psychological warfare?

She doesn’t seem like the type to provoke someone before a battle.

“You noticed?” A voice suddenly came from beside him.

“Teacher Lin?” Shen Xing realized that Teacher Lin had appeared beside him at some point.

“Bai Shayan’s emotions are disrupted. Before the battle even begins, he has already lost 20% of his chances of winning.” Teacher Lin’s gaze was fixed on the combat arena. He continued, “Emotions are a double-edged sword for martial artists. Sometimes they can unleash potential, but sometimes they can also lead to disastrous results. A qualified martial artist must control the balance between emotion and reason.”

“…” Shen Xing was lost in thought.

“You are very good at this.” Teacher Lin turned his head to look at him. “Your mentality is very mature, and you don’t lack passion and courage. In the future, whether it’s sparring or fighting on the battlefield, you can do as you did last time, first have a general strategy, and then leave the details to emotion, to instinct. This is a habit that will benefit you for life.”

“Understood.” Shen Xing knew that Teacher Lin was giving him guidance. He nodded, focusing intently on the battle.

Obviously, whoever the winner was, they would be his next target.

Bai Shayan, who had already changed into his combat suit, seemed unable to contain his anger. As soon as he stepped onto the stage, he launched a fierce attack.

This was a martial path intent that Shen Xing had never seen before. When used, it was like an enraged bear, its raised hands like two thick doors, carrying immense force and exuding an intimidating aura.

The whistling sound of the air being struck heavily confirmed this.

Shen Xing’s gaze was solemn.

Because he didn’t know it, he couldn’t tell the level of the martial path intent, but he could tell that the quality was definitely not low, at least high-grade. If he were to face it, he would have to avoid it for the time being.

As expected, An Yiyi had no intention of clashing head-on. Her tall body was full of agility at this moment, like a startled rabbit, she easily dodged with a turn and a jump to the side.

This was obviously also a martial path intent.

These prodigies of the Human Federation were indeed full of tricks, far beyond the martial artists in the small city of the other world.

And then, An Yiyi’s counterattack made Shen Xing’s eyes widen.

“Tai Chi?”

That’s right, that effortless, yielding yet firm posture resembled Tai Chi.

With a pull and a lead, she almost made Bai Shayan lose his balance.

“It’s Tai Chi Cotton Palm.” Teacher Lin’s voice came again, but lowered. “The focus is not on Tai Chi, but on Cotton Palm. Look at the data on Bai Shayan’s combat suit.”

Shen Xing quickly looked at the big screen.

The combat suits had data connections. This was also the difference between a formal challenge and sparring. If the damage value on someone’s combat suit exceeded the limit, they would automatically be judged as the loser.

Looking at it, he suddenly realized that Bai Shayan’s value was much higher.

It seemed that Bai Shayan’s attack was more aggressive.

Shen Xing realized that there must be something more to An Yiyi’s strikes.

“Cotton Palm can transmit force through the exterior. The palm strikes may seem light, but the destructive power is extremely high. It is a top-grade martial path intent. Even if the enemy is a giant creature, it can still exert great power.” Teacher Lin continued to explain, “Combined with Tai Chi, it greatly increases its power against human-shaped enemies, and An Yiyi’s Tai Chi Cotton Palm has reached minor completion.”

“No wonder she dared to say she would definitely win,” Shen Xing muttered to himself.

◈◈◈

He also understood why An Yiyi had to attack his mentality first. This kind of move was obviously more suitable for counterattacking. She needed Bai Shayan to make the first move.

And now, Bai Shayan seemed completely unaware that the value on his combat suit was rapidly rising.

Even in actual combat, it would be difficult to realize, after all, this kind of damage that directly reaches the internal organs is very hidden.

It could be said that the rhythm of the battle had completely fallen into An Yiyi’s hands!

Unless someone reminded him at this time, Bai Shayan had other means, a trump card, there was only a slight chance of a comeback victory.

But Shen Xing scanned the surroundings. Most of the students either didn’t notice, or if they did, they were just watching the show.

Obviously, compared to the youthful and beautiful An Yiyi, Bai Shayan, who always had a gloomy face, was much less popular.

“It’s over.” The thought appeared in Shen Xing’s and many others’ minds at the same time.

Along with the sound indicating that the combat suit’s value had exceeded the limit, An Yiyi jumped back to create distance.

“You lost.”

“…”

Bai Shayan turned his head stiffly, looking at the value, his eyes filled with disbelief.

He now realized the reason.

“A minor completion realm top-grade martial path intent?”

He was not a fool. To be able to inflict this kind of damage silently and without him noticing, it was definitely not a simple martial path intent.

You know, the higher the quality of a martial path intent, the harder it is to cultivate.

His Raging Bear Combat Body was only of high-grade quality, and it was not yet at major completion. Rather than saying he lost in tactics, it was better to say that he lost in raw strength!

An Yiyi had caught up from behind and truly surpassed him.

This realization made Bai Shayan feel a suffocating sensation.

Not being able to compare to that monster was one thing, but was he now unable to compare to even weaker people?

And at this moment, the people around them were already discussing enthusiastically.

“So amazing, as expected of my goddess!”

“That Tai Chi Cotton Palm is powerful.”

“She should be second among the freshmen in our thirty-second school district.”

“Definitely! Our class was already the strongest among the three classes.”

“An Yiyi wasn’t this strong at the beginning. At first, several people in the class were stronger than her, but now they’ve all been surpassed!”

“After today, the entire school district will know her name. Many people are paying attention to our class ranking.”

“You don’t need to tell me that. With the change in first place, I’ve already spread the news!”

“…”

As some students said, this class already gathered the most outstanding freshmen in the school district.

No one knew how many people were paying attention here.

Coming from behind to take first place, An Yiyi was bound to rise to fame!

However, An Yiyi didn’t care about these discussions at this time. She just looked at Shen Xing, blinked her eyes, as if asking.
