63: Chapter 63 An Incredible Victory

"This bastard!"

Dong Fang was truly a bit shocked.

He had originally thought that with his Level 35 strength, it would be a breeze to crush Jiang Ling.

To his surprise, Jiang Ling actually grew stronger as the battle progressed.

Now, he was even able to force him back seven or eight steps.

Just what kind of Prodigy was this kid?

He was only Level 10-something, a world of difference from himself. How could he possibly withstand his fist force?

"I can't hold back anymore!"

"If I fail the task assigned by the President, I'll not only lose face in front of the entire school but also face the President's punishment!"

At this thought, a layer of cyan light enveloped Dong Fang's body. His physique began to swell, muscles bulging high, and his entire frame grew a size larger.

"I've lost my patience!"

"Die!"

Dong Fang let out a loud shout and charged fiercely toward Jiang Ling.

Seeing this, Jiang Ling took a deep breath, and a massive phantom of a Black Tortoise actually emerged behind him.

The combination of turtle and snake possessed both agility and profound strength.

"Kill!"

Jiang Ling shouted and continued to charge at Dong Fang.

This time, he didn't clash head-on with Dong Fang. Instead, he used the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Steps to skillfully evade Dong Fang's frontal assault, then launched an attack from the side.

Bang, bang, bang...

The two engaged in another round of fist-to-flesh combat. Jiang Ling took countless hits, but he also managed to strike Dong Fang several times.

Jiang Ling's Martial Skills were primarily Blade Techniques. In terms of fist techniques, he only had the Basic Fist Technique. Even with the empowerment of Fist Intent, it was difficult to contend with Dong Fang.

However, Jiang Ling's goal wasn't to defeat Dong Fang, but to reduce the direct damage from Dong Fang's fist force and use that force to temper his Black Tortoise Breathing Technique.

Dong Fang's fist force grew increasingly fierce. Jiang Ling used the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Steps to dodge the brunt of the punches while tanking hits from other angles with his body, getting struck like falling raindrops.

The Qi and blood within his body surged more and more. Despite the immense pain, the improvement to his Black Tortoise Breathing Technique was massive.

In the blink of an eye, the Black Tortoise Breathing Technique had already risen to the 50th floor!

The Black Tortoise Breathing Technique, a super breathing secret method Zhao Kailai obtained from a Secret Realm, was of an extremely high level and contained incredibly powerful energy.

Having reached the 50th floor, the density of Jiang Ling's Qi and blood had reached a terrifying level.

Consequently, his strength and defensive power were also greatly enhanced.

The Black Tortoise itself is primarily focused on defense.

As Jiang Ling Cultivated the Black Tortoise Breathing Technique to the 50th floor, a layer of Qi and blood protective shield naturally appeared around him, blocking a significant portion of Dong Fang's fist force.

The remaining fist force continued to forge Jiang Ling's meridians, skin, and bones, acting like a forging machine that pounded away incessantly.

Under this forging, Jiang Ling's SSS-rank Supernatural Ability, World-Ending Divine Thunder, also became increasingly condensed, coating his surroundings.

While Jiang Ling used the Black Tortoise Breathing Technique to temper himself, a portion of the thunder power also helped refine his muscles, making them even firmer.

Thus, it became increasingly easy for Jiang Ling to cope.

Even though Dong Fang was going all out, he was unable to seriously wound Jiang Ling.

Through continuous combat, Jiang Ling became more familiar with Dong Fang's fist techniques. Using his Heaven-Defying Comprehension Ability, he quickly found the flaws in Dong Fang's techniques and exploited them, further reducing the damage Dong Fang could inflict.

Jiang Ling and Dong Fang's fierce battle actually began to show signs of a stalemate.

This caused the spectating students to widen their eyes in shock.

"This..."

"Just what kind of Prodigy is Jiang Ling?"

"Dong Fang is Level 35, ranked 107th on the Academy Rankings!"

"Jiang Ling is just a freshman!"

"He's actually able to fight Dong Fang to a standstill?"

"Why do I feel like Jiang Ling is starting to gain the upper hand!"

"Dong Fang's fist force can't deal fatal damage to Jiang Ling, but Jiang Ling's SSS-rank Supernatural Ability, World-Ending Divine Thunder, can definitely hurt Dong Fang!"

"Although we knew he was a Prodigy from the way he cracked the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Steps, isn't this a bit too excessive?"

...

Chu He and Lu Shengnan watched the arena, their eyes filled with nothing but pure shock.

They had thought Jiang Ling had gone all out when fighting them, but now they realized he probably hadn't even used half of his strength back then.

Their hearts were filled with a wave of intense frustration.

It was too demoralizing.

On the arena stage.

Jiang Ling grew more familiar with Dong Fang's attack patterns. Using the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Steps to dodge skillfully, he took less and less damage.

At this point, he also felt that the qi and blood pills had been almost completely refined!

Therefore, he didn't intend to keep entangling with Dong Fang any longer!

"It's time to end this!"

A cold glint flashed in Jiang Ling's eyes.

Crackle, crackle...

The SSS-rank World-Ending Divine Thunder on his body erupted surgeingly.

"Obliterate!"

Jiang Ling raised his hand high, and bolts of lightning, like giant pythons, crashed down incessantly onto Dong Fang.

Dong Fang's Supernatural Ability was Vajra Iron Fist, which lacked long-range attack methods.

Jiang Ling could now rely on the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Steps to pull away from Dong Fang and then conduct a one-sided bombardment with lightning.

In games, this method is called Kiting!

Even if Dong Fang's level was higher and his strength greater than Jiang Ling's, being hit one-sidedly for a long time would eventually lead to his downfall.

Dong Fang realized Jiang Ling's intention and inwardly cursed.

As a third-year student, he had plenty of combat experience and knew exactly where his weaknesses lay.

Once kited like this, if he couldn't catch the opponent, his only options were to flee or die.

If they were in the wild, he could use the terrain to find opportunities, but here on the arena stage, there was nothing to exploit.

Jiang Ling's Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Steps was a Divine-Grade footwork technique from ancient times; it was far too eerie!

Although he was faster than Jiang Ling, he couldn't catch Jiang Ling's silhouette.

Crackle, crackle...

Crackle, crackle...

Jiang Ling now returned all the pain from his previous beating back to Dong Fang, as snake-like lightning bolts continuously fell upon Dong Fang's body.

Jiang Ling usually focused on Blade Techniques in battle and didn't use the World-Ending Divine Thunder very often.

However, when he truly exerted the full power of the World-Ending Divine Thunder, its might was absolutely devastating.

In the blink of an eye, Dong Fang's body was charred black, and blood began to seep from his skin.

Dong Fang let out a crazed roar, his body ejecting like a cannonball as he pushed his speed to the limit, desperate to grab Jiang Ling.

But unfortunately, he simply couldn't catch him.

"World-Ending Divine Thunder!"

Jiang Ling let out a roar and suddenly dashed behind Dong Fang, as a massive bolt of lightning, thick as a person's waist, crashed down onto Dong Fang's head.

Rumble...

Dong Fang was struck down directly to the ground and fainted.

"This useless thing!"

Jiang Churan saw this and couldn't help but grit her teeth in anger.

She had originally intended for Dong Fang to give Jiang Ling a profound lesson to make him submit.

As a result, this instead fueled Jiang Ling's arrogance!
