147: Chapter 177 The Threat of Hundredfold Gravity
"This is Lin Yao, Rank 4, and his talent is the S-grade Gravity Field!"
Ye Yan said, pointing to a lean-faced man.
"Welcome, Jiang Ling!" Lin Yao spoke up.
"This beauty is Li Sisi, her talent is the SS-grade Thorn Crown!"
Ye Yan pointed to a tall, charmingly attractive mature woman.
"I didn't expect that not only is your talent amazing, Jiang Ling, but you're also so handsome. This big sister will look after you from now on!"
Li Sisi gave him a flirtatious wink and giggled.
Jiang Ling felt a wave of embarrassment.
"She is..."
Ye Yan pointed to a delicate, weak-looking young girl and said, "This is Lin Wanwan!"
"Don't be fooled by her weak appearance; she's actually very powerful!"
"Her talent is the SS-grade Divine Power Vajra!"
...
"Hello!"
Lin Wanwan seemed very shy as she spoke timidly to Jiang Ling.
"Hello!"
Looking at Lin Wanwan, Jiang Ling couldn't help but feel a bit dumbfounded.
Is this for real? Such a delicate little girl has the Divine Power Vajra talent?
Afterward, Ye Yan introduced the remaining few people one by one.
Li Qiang, Rank 4, S-grade talent: King of Flames.
Zhao Hai, Rank 4, S-grade talent: Heavenly God Shield!
Zhou Shenshen, Rank 4, S-grade talent: Spirit of the Earth.
Jiang Sihai, Rank 4, S-grade talent: King of Trolls.
"Alright, now that you all know each other, I'll be heading out!"
Liu Yu took his leave at this time!
He had his own matters to attend to!
After Liu Yu left, everyone crowded around Jiang Ling as if observing a rare animal.
"Holy crap! Jiang Ling, you've reached Rank 4?"
Ye Yan suddenly cried out in surprise, "It's only been how long, and you've actually reached Rank 4!"
"This is way too abnormal!"
...
"Just good luck!"
Jiang Ling said with a smile.
"Now, I'm the only one in the whole team who hasn't reached Rank 4!"
Ye Yan wailed in grief.
"Alright, don't keep crowding around Jiang Ling like this!"
Captain He Tianhua watched them, fearing they would scare Jiang Ling off.
"People who don't know better would think you guys have some weird fetishes!"
"Jiang Ling, from now on you're a part of this team. If anything comes up, just tell us, don't be a stranger!"
...
"Mm!"
Jiang Ling nodded.
"Captain, I want to challenge Jiang Ling!"
Lin Yao suddenly spoke up at this moment.
"I want to challenge him too!"
Li Qiang and the others also spoke up one after another.
In the military, this was a very common occurrence!
Everything was decided by fists!
According to the rumors, Jiang Ling's strength was so great that they all wanted to give it a try.
"Jiang Ling, what do you think?"
He Tianhua asked Jiang Ling.
"Sure!"
Jiang Ling did not refuse.
A fight was a good way to get to know each other better.
"Good, then I'll go first!"
Lin Yao said excitedly.
"Anyone is fine!"
Jiang Ling didn't mind.
"Come on, let's go outside!"
The group walked outside together.
At that moment, a System notification suddenly rang in Jiang Ling's mind.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for reaching Rank 4. The Chaos Sacred Body has awakened the Li Huo Golden Pupils effect!"
Jiang Ling was momentarily stunned.
What's the situation?
The Chaos Sacred Body awakened another effect?
Then why didn't it appear right when I promoted?
"Apologies, a BUG occurred during the System's automatic update!"
The System's voice replied.
"That can even happen?"
Jiang Ling couldn't help but curl his lips; this was way too unreliable.
However, it was good that it arrived.
Better late than never!
Jiang Ling checked the effect of the Li Huo Golden Pupils.
Li Huo Golden Pupils: Divine eyes tempered with Innate Li Huo. They can see through all illusions, perceive all Moves, and can shoot two beams of Li Huo to burn the opponent!
"Holy crap!"
"This effect is pretty awesome!"
"It's like Fiery Golden Eyes plus laser eyes!"
"Not bad!"
Jiang Ling was pleasantly surprised.
The group arrived at the martial arts arena. Jiang Ling and Lin Yao stood ready, preparing for a match.
"Since it's a spar, no weapons!"
"Let's have a hand-to-hand fight just to get to know each other!"
Lin Yao suggested.
"No problem!"
Jiang Ling nodded.
The two stood on opposite sides, their eyes meeting. Their expressions gradually grew serious as they both felt the surging Battle Intent from the other; the flames of battle were about to ignite.
Lin Yao's strength had already reached Level 49, nearing Rank 5. His power was not to be underestimated.
Jiang Ling stood his ground, calm and composed. His hands hung naturally at his sides, seemingly relaxed, but in reality, thunder was already beginning to flicker across his body.
Lin Yao, on the other hand, had his muscles tensed, his eyes filled with a thirst for battle. His fists were clenched tight, and a powerful Aura emanated from him.
He was like a Vicious Beast poised to strike!
With He Tianhua's command, the match officially began.
Lin Yao was the first to attack. He exerted sudden force with his feet, charging toward Jiang Ling like a stampeding wild bull, swinging his powerful fists.
His punches were heavy, carrying a gust of wind as if they would smash holes into the very air.
This was the SS-grade Martial Skill he cultivated, the Great Strength Bull Demon Divine Fist, which he had already practiced to the Great Perfection stage.
Its power was extremely terrifying!
However, facing this menacing attack, Jiang Ling remained unhurried.
The Li Huo Golden Pupils allowed him to see through Lin Yao's Moves in an instant. He tilted his body slightly, easily dodging Lin Yao's fist.
Immediately after, his hands snapped up, turning into a series of lightning-fast phantoms. He deployed the Rushing Thunder Hand, accompanied by the crackling of electricity.
Seeing the opportune moment, Jiang Ling's Rushing Thunder Hand erupted with boundless lightning, striking directly at Lin Yao.
Lin Yao let out a great roar as his fist wind surged, smashing forward like a heavy hammer, intending to crush Jiang Ling's Divine Thunder.
But the power of the World-Ending Divine Thunder was not so easily resisted. The lightning instantly broke through Lin Yao's fist wind. With a loud boom, Lin Yao was knocked back seven or eight steps by Jiang Ling's Rushing Thunder Hand.
"Good!"
Lin Yao shouted in praise, the Battle Intent in his eyes growing even stronger. He gave a loud roar and suddenly unleashed his S-grade Supernatural Ability: Gravity Field.
Boom!
It felt as if a massive mountain was pressing down from the sky, causing Jiang Ling's feet to sink into the soil.
Jiang Ling had experienced gravity before when training in the Military Region headquarters' trial Secret Realm, but it wasn't as strong as the gravity Lin Yao was unleashing now.
This gravity was likely already a hundredfold, making Jiang Ling feel as if he were carrying a mountain on his back.
An ordinary person would have been crushed into meat paste under such gravity!
"As expected of someone from the Hidden Dragon Special Forces, his strength is indeed formidable!"
Jiang Ling praised inwardly.
However, this gravity didn't have a massive effect on him because his base attributes were extremely high. Combined with his repeatedly modified body and the Great Perfection Black Tortoise Breathing Technique, he could easily withstand this hundredfold weight.
Whew!
Jiang Ling breathed softly. The phantom of the Black Tortoise emerged behind him, and the pressure on his body suddenly lightened.
By this time, Lin Yao had already shouted again, once more unleashing the Great Strength Bull Demon Divine Fist to strike at Jiang Ling.
He himself was like a Great Strength Bull Demon, filled with explosive power.
His Supernatural Ability could create a Gravity Field, but he himself was unaffected by it, making him extremely fast and his attacks incredibly fierce.
