246: Mu Qianshan challenges Wang Baiqing, a late-stage Daliang master!

“He actually accepted the challenge!”

Wang Boqing released his second attack, but seeing that Jiang Yuan and the others had no intention of leaving, Yu Chengtian was also a little surprised.

As a genius in his academy, Yu Chengtian clearly knew Wang Boqing's combat strength.

It's no exaggeration to say that in terms of attack intensity alone, Wang Boqing was definitely the strongest among the fifth-year Students in his academy.

However, the top-ranked Student in their academy's fifth-year leaderboard was a Beast Tamer Card Master.

Like Jiang Yuan, he was more adept at ganging up on opponents.

Beast Tamer Card Masters and Summoning Card Masters like Jiang Yuan had a significant advantage in arena battles like the Academy Rankings.

Therefore, even though Wang Boqing's attack ability ranked first in the academy, his ranking on the leaderboard could only be second.

And this was precisely why Wang Boqing dared to participate in the Four School Joint Examination alone, without teaming up with others.

But what he hadn't expected was that these little guys from Zhongyuan Academy were so daring.

With only Late Stage strength, they dared to confront Wang Boqing head-on.

This was a difference of an entire major stage!

Not only Yu Chengtian, but even Jin Lingyu from Zhongyuan Academy and Jiang Yuan's master, Li Yueying, couldn't help but feel nervous.

Although they truly thought highly of Jiang Yuan's talent and greatly recognized his combat strength.

But was fighting across a major realm really okay?

Although Li Yueying knew that Jiang Yuan was prepared and wouldn't die here even if the battle failed, she still couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

In the arena, Wang Boqing's second attack once again hit the Earthly Flames Formation.

Although the external defense capability of the Earthly Flames Formation was not very low, Wang Boqing's attack was indeed powerful.

With just two attacks, the Earthly Flames Formation was directly broken open by Wang Boqing from the outside.

The moment the Earthly Flames Formation was broken, everyone didn't hesitate and immediately launched an attack towards Wang Boqing.

Nezha threw the Fire Tipped Spear, Qiankun Circle, and Huntian Ribbon simultaneously, while the Qiankun Bow was drawn, and the first Zhentian Arrow was fired!

Zhao Gongming sat atop the black tiger, a long spear made of lightning appearing in his hand, which he forcefully hurled towards Wang Boqing.

While launching their ranged attacks, they also quickly approached Wang Boqing.

Shi Ji naturally wasn't idle; in fact, she was the most important one in this battle.

Shi Ji's purple-quality card shone in her hand.

Purple quality illusion skill: [Calamity Tree]!

A control-type illusion skill that can cause the person hit by the skill to experience hallucinations.

In the hallucination, one is bound to the trunk of a giant black tree, constantly being whipped and pierced by branches.

If one cannot break free from the illusion, it will eventually turn from virtual to real, and injuries that appeared in the illusion will manifest on the body.

If the duration is too long, it may even lead to a mental breakdown.

The moment the Earthly Flames Formation disappeared, Wang Boqing saw several people suddenly appear in front of him.

However, before Wang Boqing could see them make a move, he found himself in a black and red space.

And his body was bound to a large tree.

Vines and branches extending from the large tree continuously attacked him.

When the attacks came, he found that his defensive equipment had disappeared, and he was actually using his bare body to resist the attacks of the vines and branches!

Illusion?

Wang Boqing was startled and immediately realized what was happening.

With a thought, his spiritual power immediately expanded, and at the same time, a purple-quality card also shone beside Wang Boqing.

Purple quality Skill Card: [Chaos Impact]!

Uses one's spiritual power to attack the opponent, with a certain chance of causing a chaotic effect after dealing damage.

At the same time, using this skill can break some illusion-type skills.

After Wang Boqing used this skill, the black and red space and the large tree instantly disappeared, but a golden-red long spear and a golden bracelet appeared in front of him?

Wang Boqing had no time to react, but subconsciously used a defensive Skill Card.

Purple quality Skill Card: [Water Flow Carapace]!

A blue, turtle-like shell with flowing water patterns appeared in front of Wang Boqing.

After the turtle shell blocked the attacks of the long spear and the bracelet, it also began to sway precariously.

However, Wang Boqing could clearly see that the attack had not ended, and his turtle shell probably wouldn't be able to withstand the next few attacks.

The moment this thought appeared in Wang Boqing's mind, a bronze-like arrow completely ignored the blue turtle shell, passed through it, and shot towards him.

Wang Boqing was startled, he swung his long sword, and narrowly blocked this attack.

But before Wang Boqing could breathe a sigh of relief, a red ribbon, similar to a piece of silk, suddenly smashed down.

Wang Boqing was wary, cautious that this red ribbon would, like the arrow just now, be able to ignore his defensive skills.

Fortunately, the red ribbon was ultimately blocked by his blue turtle shell.

However, after blocking these three attacks, the blue turtle shell also reached its limit and disappeared.

Wang Boqing looked at Nezha and Zhao Gongming, who were rushing over, feeling a bit confused.

Were those attacks released by the two of them just now?

Late Stage?

How could that be!

Just three attacks released by the two of them were enough to destroy his Water Flow Carapace?

Wang Boqing didn't believe it; after all, based on the defensive power of his Water Flow Carapace, those three attacks, on average, had an attack intensity equivalent to Great Beam (Mid Stage).

He was known as the most powerful attacker among the fifth-year Students of the Martial Arts Academy.

But when he was in the Late Stage, did he have this level of attack capability?

Or was it someone else?

Wang Boqing's purple card shone again, a semi-circular earthen ball blocked in front of him, resisting the lightning spear attack, and at the same time, Wang Boqing calmly scanned the several people in front of him.

However, this one glance made him even more perplexed.

All Late Stage?

And there's even one with Jiang Lou Mid Stage strength?

How dare they?

Don't they know I'm Great Beam (Late Stage) strength?

Are they always this brave?

Wang Boqing was puzzled, but the movements in his hands did not stop.

After dodging the black tiger's attack, he held his long sword horizontally, blocking the Steel Whip in Zhao Gongming's hand.

However, the moment the two made contact, Wang Boqing felt a tremendous force coming from his long sword.

Wang Boqing glanced at Zhao Gongming, whose face was relaxed, even calm, and a surge of fighting spirit couldn't help but rise in his heart.

He circled his long sword, cleverly deflecting the force of the Steel Whip, and then thrust it towards Zhao Gongming at a tricky angle.

As Wang Boqing thrust this sword, a feeling arose in his heart.

This was a perfect sword parry and counterattack; the opponent would surely not be able to block it and could only use their body to take the damage from this sword!

A hint of confidence flashed in Wang Boqing's eyes, but the next second, he was startled by the opponent's response.

Zhao Gongming, facing this sword that struck like a Antelope horns, had no intention of dodging at all.

He released the force from the Steel Whip, letting the whip head fall towards the ground.

Just as Wang Boqing's long sword was about to pierce his chest, he counter-gripped the Steel Whip and used the handle of the whip to thrust upwards.

It perfectly struck the underside of the long sword's blade, pushing the blade into the air.

Wang Boqing could even see that the tip of his long sword almost brushed past the nose of the black-clothed youth in front of him.

However, the black-clad man in front of him didn't even blink, and his expression didn't change at all!

How is this possible!

Wang Boqing didn't believe it. Either the other party was lucky, or the other party was confident that his long sword wouldn't touch him, which is why he didn't even make a slight backward lean.

He really wanted to believe the other party was the former, but from the other party's casual response to his perfect move, the other party was most likely the latter!

But how could this be?

He had grasped a sword during his first birthday ceremony, practiced sword fighting at three, braved all weathers, and continued until today!

But the opponent looked to be about the same age as him, so why was his understanding of the weapons in his hand, and even of the weapon in my hand, stronger?

Did you also practice sword fighting at three?

Or rather, did you practice whip techniques and longswords at three?

Otherwise, how could you precisely break my move and then not even dodge at the end?

However, she had no time to think at this moment, she could only look at Zhao Gongming in surprise, then turned her head to dodge the direct thrust of Nezha's Fire Tipped Spear.

In a one-versus-two situation, Wang Boqing, relying on his powerful strength, could barely manage to not fall behind.

And this was not because Nezha and Zhao Gongming were so powerful, but because the two sides, the three people, were currently engaged in a technical contest.

Although only Nezha and Zhao Gongming thought so.

After all, Wang Boqing had used three enhancement cards and several Skill Cards.

Only then could he barely manage to withstand Nezha and Zhao Gongming's attacks while using swordsmanship.

Technique?

What technique!

Wang Boqing himself understood that from the second move after the guy who looked like a child joined in, from then on, only the two of them were showcasing their techniques.

And he was purely breaking through with brute force!

The opponent's attack intensity was clearly not on the same level as his.

But then again, the opponent was only Late Stage strength, a whole major realm different from him.

However, without using Skill Cards, and without going all out, relying solely on his swordsmanship, he was no match for Nezha and Zhao Gongming.

Wang Boqing, already somewhat disheveled, looked at the two in front of him with great confusion.

Could these two guys have been cultivating since they were in the womb?

The three-person confrontation seemed slow in description, but only about a dozen exchanges had passed.

This was just enough time for Mu Qianshan to reach Wang Boqing.

After using the powerful attack of the purple-quality Skill Card [Reverse Cloud Sweep] to temporarily force back Nezha and Zhao Gongming, Wang Boqing also faced Mu Qianshan with a solemn expression.

The opponent also used a sword!

Great enemy!

In a one-on-one situation, his technique would definitely not be a match for any of them.

In a one-on-two situation, relying on the realm difference and his various Skill Cards, he could barely manage a four-six split with the two opponents.

He was the four.

But what if it was a one-on-three situation!

Especially when one of these three also used a sword like him?

He was truly unsure.

One must know that although he had not used his full strength, in terms of technique, he had also given his all.

Yet, even so, if only looking at technique, he would be completely crushed by any one of the two of them.

Those two guys, no matter who it was, their combat skills and weapon usage techniques were more than one level higher than his.

He simply couldn't see where their limit was!

Therefore, upon seeing Mu Qianshan, who was holding a dual-colored sword of purple and red, attacking him, his heart couldn't help but feel excited.

Although the techniques of those two were very strong, one used a spear and the other a whip, so he couldn't learn anything from them.

But now there was a swordsman; if he could secretly learn a move or two, his swordsmanship would surely improve greatly!

Thinking of this, Wang Boqing, who had been somewhat flustered just a moment ago, suddenly his eyes lit up, and then he took a stance, preparing with all his might to parry the opponent's attack.

The opponent was only a Jiang Lou Mid Stage strength opponent; even if he couldn't parry, his defensive equipment could easily withstand the opponent's attacks a dozen times.

And what he needed to do was to learn more and better of the opponent's swordsmanship during these dozen or so attacks.

If he could occasionally parry once, that would be even better!

Mu Qianshan thrust his sword, aiming for Wang Boqing's throat, intending to deliver a fatal blow.

Seeing how Nezha and Zhao Gongming had easily suppressed him just now, Mu Qianshan also felt that the opponent's technique wasn't very strong.

Otherwise, if he were to face an opponent who was one major realm and one minor realm higher than himself head-on, he would not have chosen to engage.

“Clang!”

The sound of clashing metal rang out, and Wang Boqing's eyes were filled with confusion.

He had thought the opponent's full-of-holes offense was meant to deceive him, but he didn't expect to actually block the opponent's attack?

Wang Boqing was puzzled, but he didn't act rashly, choosing instead to block the opponent's attack again.

But seeing the opponent's downward slash easily blocked by himself again, Wang Boqing suddenly felt as if he had been deceived.

This guy is weak!

Surprisingly weak!

Both in strength and swordsmanship!

After realizing this, Wang Boqing, in a fit of rage, swept his sword horizontally, pushing aside Mu Qianshan's Zifu Sword, then kicked him in the chest, sending him flying.

Mu Qianshan flew backward, equally bewildered.

Isn't this guy very weak? Why could he easily block my attacks? And even kick me away?

“Pfft!”

Mu Qianshan fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Just as Wang Boqing was about to go forward to finish him off, Nezha and Zhao Gongming, who had been watching from the side, quickly stepped forward to stop him.

They had thought Mu Qianshan could exchange a few blows with the opponent...

Nezha and Zhao Gongming quickly advanced, but Wang Boqing was currently in a state of furious embarrassment, directly unleashing his full strength.

Various Skill Cards and control-type cards were released simultaneously, forcefully suppressing Nezha and Zhao Gongming!
