Chapter 140: Restrained? I Have No Weaknesses

A tall, thin, and very handsome male student with a steady temperament and a sharp aura, a very typical saber user.

“Student Shen Xing, I want to express our apologies to you on behalf of the school.” Xijing Zhengji slowly said, “It was not our school’s intention to organize this competition in such a manner, I…”

“There’s no need to say these words.” Shen Xing interrupted him, “These are trivial matters. Martial artists, in the end, must still speak with strength.”

“…Alright.” Xijing Zhengji was silent for a moment, then raised his hand and placed it on the long saber at his waist, “Then, let’s decide the outcome in one move.”

“Drawing Technique?” Shen Xing felt a force on the opponent’s body that was constantly gathering.

Even, faintly, a “domain” was formed within a certain range around him.

Saber Domain!

It was clear that this was definitely the most top-grade Martial Path Intent among the Drawing Techniques, and, at least at the Second Realm, it could even coordinate with cultivation techniques.

This reminded Shen Xing of a cultivation technique.

Six Directions Heavenly Demon!

This cultivation technique was created by imitating the Xue Family’s “Eight Directions Supreme Void”, and it was also top-grade.

To say it was imitation, “stealing” would be more accurate.

It was a weakened version derived from the Eight Directions Supreme Void, reducing the cultivation requirements and also reducing the power.

“Interesting.” Shen Xing thought of the cultivation technique Xue Lun had used, and his fighting spirit gradually rose.

He walked forward step by step until he stopped at the edge of the “domain”.

He drew his long saber.

Xijing Zhengji, who was still gathering his saber momentum, already had beads of cold sweat forming on his forehead.

Because he realized that the opponent was very familiar with “domains”!

Boom——!

The Second Realm Dragon Elephant Body erupted on Shen Xing’s body once again, and along with it, thunder roared on the blade!

Xijing Zhengji’s pupils slightly contracted.

Gathering power!

The opponent was also gathering power!

But it was not the Drawing Technique, but rather a powerful force that was concentrated on the long saber in his hand, combined with the constantly rising Second Realm Thunder Flash, enough to accumulate the power to a terrifying level.

This violent act of gathering power even caused fear to surge in Xijing Zhengji’s heart.

It was also a combination of a Second Realm cultivation technique and a Second Realm saber technique, but he was inferior in terms of basic foundation and the quality of the Martial Path Intent. The only thing he could rely on, “combination compatibility”, was also broken by this crude method.

He would definitely lose this strike!

No!

A saber is different from a fist. Even if it was aimed at other places, if the protective shield was torn by the blade, he might die!

Wait——

Xijing Zhengji suddenly saw that black scales were emerging on Shen Xing’s body.

“What a joke!” His heart trembled fiercely, “Dragon Transformation? Using Dragon Transformation in this situation?”

He suddenly realized that he had made the stupidest decision, which was to fight by gathering power—this method tested the accumulation of foundation, but what could he use to compete with a top prodigy who knew the Second Realm Ten Thousand Dragons Technique in terms of foundation?

And just as Shen Xing slowly raised his leg, lowered his body, and the thunder light flashed to the point of almost exploding.

The fear in Xijing Zhengji’s heart finally accumulated to the extreme.

“I forfeit!”

When he came to his senses the next moment, he realized that he had retreated more than a hundred meters at some point, shrinking to the corner of the stage, sweating profusely, and even subconsciously shouted those words.

The audience was in an uproar.

Not everyone could see the competition between foundation and power accumulation. What they saw was that the prodigy of their school didn’t even have the courage to fight when facing Shen Xing!

“So boring.” Shen Xing curled his lips, gathered his aura, and turned to walk off the stage.

This relaxed and casual demeanor presented a sharp contrast to Xijing Zhengji, who had retreated to the corner and was almost paralyzed.

And this scene, falling into the eyes of the audience, was destined to become an unforgettable picture for a long time!

It was almost a dominating power!

“Dragon Elephant Body plus Thunder Flash is one thing, but you even added Dragon Transformation, you really think highly of him.” Lu Lan couldn’t help but tease.

“I overestimated him.” Shen Xing shrugged.

Xue Lun’s “domain” had left a deep impression on him. It was an extremely powerful cultivation technique characteristic. He originally wanted to try it seriously when he saw a similar one.

Who knew he would be scared away directly.

“This time, Yeying Academy has lost a lot of face. However, the next battle is the most crucial.” Lu Lan put away her smile, “That female student is very powerful, she should be their ace.”

Shen Xing also looked towards the stage at this time.

His pupils contracted slightly.

Because he saw a storm! A storm of daggers!

The sky was filled with Yuanshan Qianhezi’s daggers. She seemed to be able to shuttle through space, even appearing in many different places at the same time. Even though Xia Xuan in the middle used her Wind Saber Technique to the fullest, she still couldn’t block the opponent’s offensive.

In this competition of speed, she fell into an obvious disadvantage.

“It’s Wind Movement Nine Heavens.” Lu Lan whispered, “An extremely powerful cultivation technique in the hidden repository, focusing on speed. The body movement technique she uses is also from the hidden repository, called Flash Step! This body movement technique was comprehended by a powerful expert during a warp voyage. Unlike illusions, those figures all have real lethality.”

Shen Xing’s gaze also became somewhat serious.

◈◈◈

This speed had already surpassed his speed when using the Second Realm Phantom Body Movement Technique.

Perhaps, her basic speed had already surpassed his.

One could only say that as expected of the Academy Home Planet, prodigies of any level could exist.

However, what made Shen Xing even more excited was that this body movement technique seemed to be more suitable for “space” than the Phantom Body Movement Technique!

“Can I learn this body movement technique?” Shen Xing couldn’t help but ask.

“…If you want to try, you can also try.” Lu Lan’s expression was slightly strange, “But shouldn’t you be worried about the finals right now? You are restrained against this kind of martial artist.”

“Restrained?” Shen Xing glanced at her, “I have no weaknesses.”

These words were spoken very calmly, as if it were a matter of course.

Even Lu Lan was slightly stunned.

But a moment later, she grinned and nodded heavily.

“That’s right, a true prodigy should have such domineering spirit.”

Shen Xing didn’t speak.

Because at this time, the battle on the stage had already ended.

Xia Xuan did not forfeit, and her saber technique’s speed even increased during the battle. However, facing Yuanshan Qianhezi, who was faster than her, she was still gradually worn down.

She lost with a burst of red numbers.

The host’s voice became extremely excited at this moment: “Congratulations to Student Yuanshan! As expected of our Yeying Academy’s number one prodigy, the ultimate ace known as the ‘Wind Witch’! Just relying on this unparalleled, crushing speed is enough to lock in the top fifty of the entire Academy Home Planet!”

The audience in the stands also finally cheered, and some people even stood up excitedly to cheer.

There was no other way, it was really because the pressure Shen Xing gave them was too great.

But Yuanshan Qianhezi’s performance gave them hope of defeating Shen Xing!

It’s just that so many people shouting the words “Wind Witch” made Shen Xing feel a little awkward and childish.

“I hope they don’t give me any nicknames.” Shen Xing’s mouth twitched, but he also walked straight to the stage.

By defeating the opponent, he was equivalent to entering the top fifty rankings first.

Besides the sense of accomplishment, there were actually many benefits.

As long as he could maintain this ranking, if there were only fifty portions of this kind of resource in the future, he would not need to compete again, but could directly apply for it, until the review department believed that his strength was no longer in the top fifty, then he would need to challenge again.

“I need to rest.” Yuanshan Qianhezi said, holding up her hand as she watched Shen Xing walk up, swallowing a few pills on the spot and starting to rest.

Shen Xing didn’t mind and waited quietly.

Instead, it was the host who finally revealed the true face behind the “Shen hype” at this time.

“The final peak duel is about to begin. On one side is our Wind Witch, with speed that surpasses all prodigies! On the other side is the Dragon of Linjiang! He has already demonstrated unmatched power and a powerful Flash Step! But only one of them can become the final victor and take away the precious resources that are only available in fifty portions in the entire home planet! However, just from the paper, it is clear that our Wind Witch has a greater chance of winning. Her faster speed gives her the possibility of dodging the Flash Step, and facing powerful strength, she can also avoid the brunt of the attack! Even a divine dragon cannot defeat the ubiquitous gale.”

The cheers, shouts, and encouragement from the stands became more and more fervent.

After all, the stronger Shen Xing had performed before, the more it would bring a strong sense of pride to defeat him.

Yeying Academy was stronger than Linjiang School!

However, Shen Xing seemed to be completely unaffected, just standing there indifferently, also rapidly consuming pills to replenish his Yuan Power.

Finally, Yuanshan Qianhezi seemed to be ready, standing with her double daggers in hand.

“Shen-kun, may we begin?” Her voice was still young, but the determination in her tone was not weak at all.

And many defeated but not yet departed prodigies were also watching from below the stage.

Including Xia Xuan, who had just lost.

“Who do you think will win?”

“I think it’s still Yuanshan.”

“Yes, I think so too.”

“I’m not sure. Don’t forget, Shen Xing also has a move called Dragon Transformation, which is an all-around explosive enhancement, including speed. Either he defeats the opponent within the duration of the Dragon Transformation, or when the Dragon Transformation time is over, Shen Xing will lose.”

“Xia Xuan, you fought with Yuanshan Qianhezi the longest, what do you think?”

One by one, their gazes finally fell on Xia Xuan.

Her strength was indeed the strongest among them.

And Xia Xuan just silently looked at the battle stage and finally said, “I suspect that Yuanshan Qianhezi’s body movement technique is likely already at the Minor Completion of the Second Realm.”

“….” With one sentence, everyone was stunned on the spot.
