117: That's boring, is that the winner?

Yu Qiuyi’s nimble movements were as ethereal as a ghost, leaving no trace.

Amidst the sharp whistling of the air, a dark, chilling glow, seemingly faster than sound, appeared at Shen Bei’s ribs!

At this very moment,

all the teachers and students present couldn't help but exclaim:

“Holy crap! This stance… Yu Qiuyi is already a Second-Rank Martial Artist?”

“That’s too abnormal, isn’t it?”

“Are the new students this year a den of Geniuses? First Shen Bei, then Yu Qiuyi!”

“I heard that the other members of Zha Tian Gang are also quite impressive; almost simultaneously, all of them entered the First-Rank Martial Artist realm.”

“Students of their year must be under immense pressure.”

“Sometimes, you don’t need to be that powerful; if your peers are weak, you stand out.”

“Let’s see how Shen Bei responds.”

…

At this moment, Jian Tong’s eyelids twitched wildly.

She had been studying constantly during this period and hadn't spent much time with Shen Bei, so she didn't know his true strength.

And Yu Qiuyi’s sudden burst of a Second-Rank Martial Artist aura

truly made Jian Tong feel both ashamed and angry.

She had also entered the First-Rank Martial Artist realm,

but compared to Yu Qiuyi, she was still so far behind!

Showing off, are we?

Hmph!

Jian Tong was consumed by impotent rage, an unnamed fire igniting in her heart.

…

At this time, Yu Qiuyi, following her grandfather’s instructions, also felt a surge of anger in her heart.

In the Yu Family, the phenomenon of favoring males over females was too severe!

Even during festive gatherings, women were not allowed to sit at the main table!

Yu Qiuyi had long been fed up with this despicable custom.

Moreover, the resources allocated by the Family were also male-first, female-second.

Otherwise, if those precious Medicinal Pills had been showered upon her, she would have entered the First-Rank Martial Artist realm before the Martial Arts Exam!

Now, Yu Qiuyi wanted to prove that women were no worse than men!

She intended to make Shen Bei a negative example with a lightning-fast offensive in a single encounter.

To show her grandfather!

Crack!

However, for the current Shen Bei, Yu Qiuyi’s offensive was nothing to worry about.

Shen Bei’s palm suddenly shot out, and in a flash of lightning, at the critical moment, he accurately grabbed Yu Qiuyi’s wrist.

Like a dam blocking a river, he abruptly halted her ghostly assassination momentum!

Hmm!?

Yu Qiuyi was somewhat surprised.

She had previously known Shen Bei to be a Martial Artist who specialized in close-quarters combat.

But she never expected that Shen Bei, who should primarily focus on strength, would possess such incredibly fast and abnormal speed and reaction time in agility.

Yu Qiuyi was startled, and then a sharp pain immediately shot through her wrist.

“Second-Rank Martial Artist!” Yu Qiuyi exclaimed.

Shen Bei nodded, “Forgive me for showing off.”

As Shen Bei grabbed Yu Qiuyi’s wrist, his palm gently squeezed, intending to directly throw her flying.

In reality, Shen Bei had held back a lot of strength; otherwise, with his current power, it would be easy to crush Yu Qiuyi’s bones into comminuted fractures.

Bang!

Yu Qiuyi felt a sense of unease, as if she was about to be controlled, and a long, slender, toned leg heavily kicked through the air, aiming for Shen Bei’s groin!

Damn!

Yu Qiuyi’s insidious and vicious move made Shen Bei’s face darken.

For every male creature, that area is the most vulnerable, and coupled with the fact that he hadn't activated the King Kong Indestructible Divine Skill, taking such a hit would definitely not feel good.

Clap, clap!

The next moment, the crisp sound of flesh meeting flesh rang out; no longer in the mood to play house with a child, his large hand, holding Yu Qiuyi’s wrist, pushed forcefully, while his other hand instantly pressed against the inner side of her fiercely kicking thigh, his fingers pinching Yu Qiuyi’s flesh, twisting, drilling, and squeezing.

Stomp, stomp, stomp!

With Shen Bei’s push and press, Yu Qiuyi instantly became like a puppet on strings, uncontrollably retreating repeatedly.

After retreating more than ten meters, Yu Qiuyi’s face turned pale, and she barely managed to stop her body, clearly showing that one of her long legs was trembling uncontrollably as if experiencing muscle spasms.

“You truly are venomous with your hands, no, your feet,” Shen Bei said with an arrogant and disdainful expression.

Yu Qiuyi shook her leg, barely stopping the numb trembling, and looked down to see the inner side of her thigh bruised purple where it had been pinched.

“You’re not so great either,” Yu Qiuyi gritted her teeth and said.

Shen Bei shrugged.

That area was indeed quite close; if his fingers moved up a few more inches, it would be…

“Alright, warm-up’s over.”

Yu Qiuyi drew something from her waist with a backhand motion.

Swish!

A cold light, like a spiritual snake, darted from Yu Qiuyi’s waist and leaped into her hand.

It turned out that the belt wrapped around her waist was actually a soft sword shimmering with a faint glow; the blade vibrated, emitting a clear ringing sound, appearing sharp and dangerous, so much so that even looking directly at it caused a slight stinging sensation in the eyes, indicating the sword’s sharpness.

“This is my personal weapon, a Yuanli battle weapon forged and tempered with the blood of an Abyss God from the underground abyss. Although it hasn't reached the level of an Abyss God battle weapon, cutting iron like mud is just a basic skill.”

Yu Qiuyi’s beautiful eyes swept over, looking at Shen Bei:

“Shen Bei, I’m giving you a chance; you can use a weapon.”

Shen Bei shrugged, “Compared to weapons, I trust my fists more.”

His foundation and fighting style were already formed; his physique and iron fists were his sharpest weapons, and with “King Kong Indestructible” now complementing his offensive methods, he temporarily didn't need to spend a lot of time and effort mastering any weapon.

Amidst the ringing sound, an invisible, sharp Qi burst forth; Yu Qiuyi’s tall and graceful figure stood firm, her long black hair fluttering, her entire being like a Valkyrie on the battlefield, pointing her sword at Shen Bei:

“An inch longer, an inch stronger. Since you choose a disadvantage, don’t blame me for not warning you.”

Shen Bei didn’t care at all.

Instantly.

Thump!

A muffled thud, like a heavy hammer striking, as Shen Bei’s figure violently flashed.

“Seven Stars Steps”

His foot twisted into the ground, causing the steel plate on the arena to warp and dent under the immense impact.

And Shen Bei, like a swimming Dragon, a fierce tiger, or the surging impact of a great river, with his fist wind billowing and his True Qi fierce, came crashing down from above, directly striking towards Yu Qiuyi’s face!

He hadn't even activated King Kong Indestructible, so he naturally wasn't using his full strength.

However, the moment Shen Bei made his move, Yu Qiuyi’s eyes became utterly cold; an indescribable surging aura suddenly erupted from her entire body, and at the same time, her wrist lightly flicked.

Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang!

The next moment, the sword light in Yu Qiuyi’s hand exploded, sword shadows flying, transforming into ten swords, a hundred swords, stabbing at the dodging Shen Bei from mid-air with unimaginable speed!

“Sword Rain Covering the Sky!”

In an instant, the hazy, sharp Sword Qi rapidly converged, and large swaths of chilling sword light condensed into hundreds of transparent Sword Qi ripples out of thin air, like a violent storm, like raging waves, instantly bursting forth and attacking Shen Bei as if they had a life of their own!

So fierce?

Shen Bei was a little surprised.

Is this True Qi transforming into Sword Qi?

Is this Yu Qiuyi’s trump card?

It seems… it’s nothing special.

However, in the audience, all the students and teachers were utterly shocked, their eyes wide with disbelief:

“What! Yu Qiuyi has actually produced True Qi?”

“What the hell is True Qi? The teacher didn’t teach us that.”

“This is content learned in the second year of university. True Qi manifestation, with its myriad changes, will make certain Martial Skills produce an effect greater than 1+1! Its power is even greater, and its mysteries are endless! Just like Yu Qiuyi’s sword strike!”

“How can we second-year students feel about this?”

“Shen Bei is probably out of luck.”

“No wonder Yu Qiuyi dared to challenge Shen Bei; it turns out she has Cultivated True Qi!”

…

Seeing Yu Qiuyi’s Sword Qi, overwhelming and incomparably sharp, as if it would cut all obstacles into pieces, Shen Bei, experiencing such dazzling special effects for the first time, couldn't help but marvel internally.

At this moment, Shen Bei thought that the reason he was able to kill the Third-Rank Martial Artist Boss Wu was indeed due to many special reasons.

And now, facing Yu Qiuyi, a human turret excelling in agility and Sword Qi attacks, he felt very tricky when his body couldn’t withstand the attacks head-on.

However, Shen Bei, who had a plan, didn’t want to be constantly suppressed.

The next instant, he flipped his wrist, and a coin appeared in his hand; he raised his arm towards the overwhelming Sword Qi, his five fingers tightly clasped.

Bang! Boom, boom, boom, boom!

Like a heavy cannon firing on the spot, a surge of powerful Qi instantly spread from Shen Bei’s hand, and a stream of True Qi carrying the coin flashed through the Void Realm, followed by a series of thunderous roars that instantly ignited the entire martial arts hall.

Large, visible white Qi clusters exploded in the air, which was the Sword Qi that Yu Qiuyi had launched collapsing!

This overwhelming and incoming Sword Qi was completely swept away by Shen Bei’s “Shooting Star Sweeping Tail” move.

Rumble—

The aftershocks swept through, and the entire martial arts hall began to tremble violently; countless fragmented Qi shot out in all directions, leaving countless deep marks on the copper walls and iron barriers.

Shen Bei, with a tiger-step and snake-like movement, instantly appeared in front of Yu Qiuyi, grabbed her by the neck with a backhand, and lifted her up.

“You lose.”

Shen Bei grinned, showing his teeth.

Yu Qiuyi immediately stopped all her movements, her face grave, looking at Shen Bei as if he were a monster: “You… how did you also Cultivate True Qi? No… it’s impossible!”

“Heh, this is simply a case of there being always someone better.”

After saying that, Shen Bei showed no mercy and directly threw Yu Qiuyi off the arena.

He picked up the two Martial Skills from the ground and happily tucked them into his embrace.

If I say you’re a delivery person, you have to accept it.

Martial Skill: Heart-Piercing Cannon Hammer!

Shen Bei couldn't wait to Cultivate it and see what was so special about it!
