61: Chapter 61 The Overbearing Nature of the Apocalypse Guild!

Rumble...

Thunderlight suddenly appeared, rushing toward Lu Shengnan with a terrifying aura of destruction.

Lu Shengnan was shocked and hastily raised her greatsword to block, but this strike, which gathered all of Jiang Ling's power, still knocked her back dozens of steps.

Afterward, Jiang Ling quickly caught up, slashing at Lu Shengnan continuously, strike after strike.

Having gained the upper hand with one move, he left her no room to breathe.

Every one of Jiang Ling's slashes was imbued with the powerful World-Ending Divine Thunder. His attack power was off the charts; even though Lu Shengnan wore a high-grade battle suit, she was now scorched black by the electricity.

It became increasingly difficult for Lu Shengnan to defend, and she retreated repeatedly.

Finally, Jiang Ling unleashed a super strike. Thunder from across the sky converged, forming a massive pillar of light that smashed down toward Lu Shengnan.

The White Tiger Phantom behind Lu Shengnan roared and struggled to resist, but it was still smashed down directly by the World-Ending Divine Thunder.

With nowhere left to retreat, Lu Shengnan tumbled off the arena stage.

In the finals of this Freshman Competition, Jiang Ling had won.

Below the stage, Lu Shengnan gasped for breath, her gaze complex. Finally, she said proudly, "I lost today!"

"But I won't be a loser for long!"

"It won't be long before I surpass you!"

...

"I'll be waiting!"

Jiang Ling smiled. This Lu Shengnan really lived up to her name; she was extremely competitive.

"Jiang Ling really won!"

"In the end, Jiang Ling was still superior!"

"Jiang Ling is indeed strong!"

"Even a direct descendant like Lu Shengnan, who was painstakingly nurtured by her Family, was no match for him!"

...

Just as everyone was marveling at Jiang Ling's strength, a figure suddenly flew onto the arena stage like a cannonball.

"Jiang Ling, I want to challenge you!"

The man shouted at Jiang Ling, and then, without another word, he threw his fists toward Jiang Ling.

Bang, bang, bang...

Caught off guard, Jiang Ling was forced back repeatedly.

"Hmm?"

"What's going on?"

"Who is this?"

"What is he trying to do?"

"It looks like Dong Fang, the third-year Dong Fang!"

"Dong Fang? The one known as the Invincible Divine Fist?"

"It's said he was also a provincial top scholar once, with an S-rank Supernatural Ability and outstanding strength. He's currently ranked 107th on the Academy Strength Ranking List!"

"What is he doing?"

"Does he want to challenge Jiang Ling?"

"But he's a third-year. Isn't it a bit shameless to challenge a first-year?"

"Moreover, he's not giving Jiang Ling any chance to refuse and started fighting immediately. He's clearly looking for trouble!"

"I heard that Guild Master Huangfu Hao of the Tianqi Guild invited Jiang Ling to join, but Jiang Ling refused!"

"So, the Tianqi Guild wants to teach Jiang Ling a lesson!"

"This Dong Fang is a member of the Tianqi Guild!"

"This... the Tianqi Guild is way too overbearing, isn't it?"

"Just because someone doesn't join, they look for trouble!"

"The Tianqi Guild has always been overbearing, didn't you know?"

"Isn't the referee teacher going to do anything?"

"Many teachers are also members of the Tianqi Guild!"

"They probably gave them a heads-up beforehand!"

"*Hiss!*"

"Then Jiang Ling is in for a bad time today!"

"The Tianqi Guild wants to establish their authority today, letting everyone know what happens when you defy them!"

...

Below the stage, Ye Honglian was instantly enraged upon seeing this.

She immediately prepared to rush onto the stage to save Jiang Ling.

But just then, a figure blocked her—it was Jiang Churan.

"Jiang Churan, what do you think you're doing?"

"I'm disciplining my own brother, what does it have to do with you?" Jiang Churan said with a face full of arrogance.

"Just stay over there quietly!"

"Jiang Churan, don't go too far!" Ye Honglian was furious.

"Whether I'm going too far or not has nothing to do with you!" Jiang Churan said leisurely. "This is my brother; I'll discipline him however I want!"

"You, his so-called Senior Sister, have no right to interfere!"

...

"He is my Junior Brother, so I will interfere!"

Enraged, Ye Honglian attacked. A Flaming Red Lotus emerged above her head, and her body was shrouded in flames.

Boom!

She threw a punch at Jiang Churan.

Jiang Churan didn't yield an inch. With a wave of her hand, a Cyan Ancient Sword appeared, and she began a fierce battle with Ye Honglian.

On the stage.

Jiang Ling was being attacked continuously by Dong Fang and kept retreating, though he could temporarily hold his ground thanks to the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Steps.

However, the opponent's strength was far superior to his; he would eventually be defeated.

"The Tianqi Guild is indeed overbearing!"

"To think they'd dare do something like this during the Freshman Competition!"

"Trying to force me to bow my head?"

"In your dreams!"

He brandished his horizontal saber to fight Dong Fang, only to find that when the saber struck the opponent's fists, it made a sound like metal clashing against metal.

The opponent's fists were actually harder than steel.

"It seems his Supernatural Ability lies in his fists!"

"How can I defeat him?"

Suddenly, Dong Fang's fists were enveloped in a crimson glow, their power surging as he punched toward Jiang Ling.

Jiang Ling blocked with his horizontal saber, but he was sent flying by the impact.

The power behind that strike was simply too strong!

Dong Fang's movement technique was also extremely fast. In the next moment, he was already in front of Jiang Ling, landing a punch on his lower abdomen.

Bang!

Jiang Ling immediately felt a surge of sharp pain. His blood and Qi churned violently, and he nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.

In his desperation, he quickly circulated the Black Tortoise Breathing Technique to resist.

"Ding! Your blood and Qi have been strongly vibrated, stimulating the circulation and operation of the Black Tortoise Breathing Technique. Your Black Tortoise Breathing Technique has reached Level 21!"

The System's notification sound suddenly rang out.

"It can work like this?"

Jiang Ling's eyes widened instantly.

His Chaos Sacred Body was truly marvelous!

"Ha!"

"In that case, I'll use him to level up my Black Tortoise Breathing Technique!"

"Although it's dangerous, 'fortune favors the bold'!"

Thinking of this, he directly plunged his horizontal saber into the stage, took a deep breath, narrowed his eyes slightly, and made a provocative finger-curling gesture at Dong Fang.

"Hmm?"

A sharp light instantly flashed in Dong Fang's eyes.

"Heh heh..."

"Kid, you really are arrogant!"

"To think you'd still dare to provoke me!"

"In that case, I'll let you properly experience my Vajra Iron Fist today!"

"The Guild Master said that as long as I don't kill you, anything goes!"

"Then I'll leave you with just one breath of life!"

"I'll let you know the consequences of provoking me and defying the Tianqi Guild!"

...

Ha!

Dong Fang gave a loud shout and lunged at Jiang Ling. His iron fists swung, creating intense friction with the air and setting off a terrifying sonic boom.

Seeing this, Jiang Ling took a deep breath. The Black Tortoise Breathing Technique circulated through his body as he simultaneously activated the World-Ending Divine Thunder.

"Battle!"

Jiang Ling roared, his Battle Intent soaring, and threw a punch back at Dong Fang.

Bang!

Bang!

Dong Fang's punch landed on Jiang Ling's chest, and Jiang Ling's punch landed on Dong Fang's chest.
