121: Immortal Golden Body

It wasn't just the students who were anxious; the academy leaders nearby were equally worried.

For them, whoever took first place in this competition would bring honor to their academy.

Among the top four, only one student from Shenhua University remained, causing Jin Buhuan to break out in a cold sweat.

In previous years, there were at least two Shenhua University students among the top four, but now only Li Changkong was left as the sole hope.

However, he still had considerable faith in Li Changkong in his heart.

Li Changkong had already demonstrated a sufficiently diverse array of offensive techniques in just these few matches.

He even had some anticipation, wondering if Li Changkong would reveal new techniques in his next arena match.

“The semi-finals are about to begin! The contestants for this match are San Shan Titan Yue Shan versus People's Teacher Li Changkong!”

A loud announcement echoed from the high platform in the distance.

And this San Shan Titan was none other than the towering, iron-tower-like strongman Li Changkong had just seen.

Just by hearing the name, it was clear that San Shan Titan was also a unique profession.

The clash between these two unique professions naturally attracted a lot of attention.

Moreover, Yue Shan did not enter the academy through the major examination but later joined the academy relying on his unique profession.

Therefore, the academy he joined was not even one of the ten major academies, but an unknown one.

It could be considered that the academy was lucky to have made it into the top four of the Newbie Joint Examination with just one student.

In previous battles, San Shan Titan had attracted quite a few fans.

Currently, there were quite a number of people supporting San Shan Titan.

Perhaps because Li Changkong's previous battle ended too quickly, he didn't attract much attention.

As the two walked onto the arena, a cheer erupted from the crowd.

People were equally eager to see what kind of sparks would fly between these two.

“You are very strong!”

Yue Shan looked at Li Changkong and said in a muffled voice.

“You are not weak either.”

Perhaps it was a case of heroes appreciating each other, Li Changkong replied with a smile.

“Then, let me test you.”

Yue Shan, who had previously appeared somewhat simple and honest, immediately charged forward after saying this.

His originally dull eyes instantly became sharp, even filled with Killing Intent.

He raised the shield in his hand, like a towering mountain, pressing down on Li Changkong with overwhelming force.

“Come on!”

Sensing the opponent's formidable Physical Body, Li Changkong did not use long-range skills but instead engaged in a direct confrontation.

The two bodies collided, instantly raising a cloud of dust from the ground.

Li Changkong did not use his full strength, limiting his power to around level thirty, and the opponent's strength was also similar.

When their bodies collided, there was even a clang of metal, sparking.

Li Changkong's body sharply retreated a few steps, while Yue Shan remained completely still, as steady as a mountain.

“You've got something.”

A hint of Battle Intent appeared in Li Changkong's eyes.

The two almost without any hesitation, collided again.

It was then that Li Changkong realized that Yue Shan had not used his full strength in the previous battles.

He had initially thought Yue Shan's speed wasn't high, but who knew he was actually so agile.

On the arena, dust billowed, and loud thuds continuously echoed.

The arena on the other side was also in combat, but people's attention was drawn to this close-quarters, fist-to-flesh battle.

For people, battles between archers and mages indeed lacked strong visual appeal.

But this close-quarters, fist-to-flesh combat was completely different.

“This kid, his Physical Body is actually so strong. Yue Shan, with the attributes gained from his shield, definitely has an advantage.”

Upon seeing this, Jin Buhuan couldn't help but feel a little excited.

He had already witnessed Li Changkong's various combat techniques before, but this was the first time he saw him in close-quarters Physical Body combat.

“A truly all-around Genius has appeared in your academy.”

Thunder King, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

Jin Buhuan's expression froze slightly upon hearing this.

Thunder King rarely praised anyone, and for him to give such a high evaluation to Li Changkong was indeed very rare.

And he had always had great faith in Li Changkong.

After all, being able to break into the final floor of the Black Tower proved the terrifying extent of his strength.

“You flatter me.”

Jin Buhuan still feigned a calm expression and said with a smile.

The faces of some other academy executives around them had already become quite expressive.

The battle had reached a fever pitch, and Yue Shan seemed to realize that the fight couldn't continue like this.

And he also could tell that Li Changkong hadn't even used his full strength.

“Come on.”

Yue Shan shook his body forcefully, stopping in place.

On his slightly brownish skin, specks of golden light actually appeared.

After these golden lights manifested, his body was gradually covered by this golden glow, and his entire Aura became completely different.

“Undying Golden Body.”

Four words slowly emerged from Yue Shan's mouth.

“What a magnificent Undying Golden Body.”

Upon seeing Yue Shan use his skill, Li Changkong's eyes suddenly lit up.

And in his Sea of Consciousness, the Mentor's Book had already displayed a line of text, which was precisely the skill of Undying Golden Body.

【Undying Golden Body: Can increase one's Physique by five times within a short period, with no side effects.】

Looking at the effect of the Undying Golden Body, Li Changkong couldn't help but feel a little excited.

A five-fold increase in Physique with no side effects could indeed be said to be an incredibly powerful unique skill.

However, Li Changkong was not in a hurry to use the Undying Golden Body; using it now would be too conspicuous.

As the saying goes, a common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure makes him guilty.

If others knew that Li Changkong could replicate skills, it would surely cause a stir.

It was even possible that he could be taken away for research.

This kind of talent was already considered Heaven-Defying.

Even other unique professions seemed to have no advantage in front of him.

After all, any unique skill could be copied by him, but unfortunately, Li Changkong found that the Undying Golden Body actually occupied five slots.

Normal skills occupied one slot, Epic-grade skills occupied two slots, Legendary-grade skills occupied three slots, and Mythic skills occupied four.

However, fortunately, Li Changkong currently had enough skill slots, with two even remaining.

Li Changkong still planned to cancel a few skills later, as he still wanted to learn Dark Magic.

“Come on!”

Yue Shan roared again, charging directly towards Li Changkong.

This time, Yue Shan even directly discarded his shield, revealing a hammer, and charged towards Li Changkong.
