203: Chapter 203 Your Ultimate Move Tastes Good

Virtual battlefield, random map, Hurricane Canyon.

The gale was like a knife, whistling through the narrow rock walls and emitting a shrill, wailing sound.

This was the home field for wind-element Supernatural Ability users, and it was also the favorite hunting ground of "Sea-Severing Sword" Gu Changfeng.

"Hoo!!"

Gu Changfeng stood on a protruding giant rock, his longsword pointing diagonally at the ground. The blade trembled slightly in the gale, emitting a clear, resonant dragon's roar.

Although he had been startled by Jiang You's data in the lounge just now, once he actually arrived on the battlefield, the professionalism of a top expert from Class A allowed him to calm down quickly.

"So what if you are at the Mid-Third-Order?"

Cold light flickered in Gu Changfeng's eyes. The Mid-Fourth-Order spiritual energy within his body erupted without reservation, merging with the surrounding hurricane:

"I am at the Mid-Fourth-Order! My blood energy and spiritual energy are both stronger than yours!"

"And, this is my home field!"

"Trace of Wind, Shadowless Kill!"

Without any probing, Gu Changfeng went for the kill right from the start!

His figure instantly vanished from where he stood, as if merging into the wind.

Immediately after, hundreds upon thousands of extremely sharp, invisible sword qi surged from all directions!

They had no physical form, yet they were sharper than steel. Carrying a shrill whistle that tore through the air, they shredded toward Jiang You, who stood in the center of the canyon, like a meat grinder, leaving no blind spots!

"Die!!"

Gu Changfeng's voice drifted uncertainly in the wind.

He had once used this move to instantly kill a Fourth-Order demonic beast!

He did not believe that Jiang You's newly broken-through Third-Order physique could withstand it!

However, Jiang You, who was at the center of the sword qi storm, did not even lift an eyelid.

He still maintained his posture with both hands in his pockets, letting the gale dishevel his clothes and hair.

"Too light."

Jiang You shook his head. In those deep blue eyes, the sword qi attacking from the sky was reflected.

In the vision of the [Eye of Tianshu], those so-called "shadowless" sword qi looked like slow, white ribbons, their trajectories clearly discernible.

"If it were before, I might have dodged."

"After all, my physique was fragile back then, and I was afraid of pain."

Jiang You's lips curled slightly upward, revealing a set of white teeth:

"But now..."

"I suddenly want to try, this so-called Fourth-Order sword qi..."

"Inverse Blood Flow Technique!"

"Hum!!!"

The next second, a sudden change occurred!

Jiang You did not make any defensive posture; instead, he abruptly spread his arms, opening up his chest!

At the same time, the majestic blood energy within his body reversed with a roar!

The blood energy that should have been gushing outward to protect his body was now, extremely bizarrely, collapsing inward, forming an invisible, frantically spinning golden vortex of blood energy around his body!

This was just like a black hole operating at high speed!

"Come!"

Jiang You let out a low shout.

"Pfft pfft pfft pfft!!"

The invisible sword qi, which filled the sky and was sharp enough to cut through gold and jade, the moment it touched the area around Jiang You's body, acted as if it were iron filings being sucked by a magnet, uncontrollably deviating from its original trajectory!

They did not slice through Jiang You's Skin; instead, they were forcibly captured and absorbed by that terrifying suction force!

"What!!!"

Gu Changfeng, hidden in the wind, felt his pupils contract sharply as he saw a scene that shattered his worldview.

He saw that Jiang You was like a bottomless pit.

Those sword qi collided with his body, not only failing to cause any damage but instead turning into wisps of pure wind-element spiritual energy, being forcibly "sucked" in through his pores!

"Zzz zzz..."

A faint golden light shimmered on the surface of Jiang You's Skin.

That was the energy converted through the [Inverse Blood Flow Technique], which was nourishing his physical body!

"It's a little itchy..."

Jiang You twisted his neck, feeling the wind-element spiritual energy that had been forcibly plundered into his body. Although it was a bit chaotic, its advantage was that there was plenty of it to satisfy him.

"However, the taste is not bad."

Jiang You licked his lips and looked up at a certain point in the void in mid-air. His blue eyes were full of composure:

"Senior Gu, is this your full strength?"

"If it is..."

"Then I'm sorry, I'll gladly accept your ultimate move."

"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!!"

Gu Changfeng's mentality collapsed. He revealed his figure directly from the wind, with an expression as if he had seen a ghost:

"Are you a devil! You can actually eat sword qi raw?"

"What the hell kind of evil technique is this?"

He had never seen this kind of fighting style!

Even if Peak Fourth-Order Xie Fuyao were here, he might not dare to take his full-strength strike with his physical body!

Let alone Jiang You, who was only at the Mid-Third-Order?

"Evil technique?"

Jiang You laughed, smiling very brightly:

"No, no, no, this is science."

"Haven't you learned the Law of Conservation of Energy?"

"Since I have eaten your spiritual skill..."

Jiang You slowly clenched his right fist.

At this very moment, his right arm was not only wrapped in his original golden blood energy but also entwined with a layer of the white sword qi he had just plundered!

That was Gu Changfeng's power, but now it had become Jiang You's weapon!

"Then I have to... return it to you!"

"Catch it!!"

"Boom!!!"

Jiang You stomped his right foot hard on the ground.

The earth cracked, and the entire canyon seemed to tremble.

Borrowing this terrifying reaction force, Jiang You himself became like a cannonball leaving the chamber, instantly tearing through the air and appearing in front of Gu Changfeng at a speed faster than the wind!

Too fast!

So fast that Gu Changfeng almost didn't have time to swing his sword to block!

"This punch is called... courtesy demands reciprocity!"

Jiang You's fist, wrapped in brilliant golden light and sharp wind blades, slammed heavily into Gu Changfeng's chest!

This punch had no frills.

It was purely a numerical suppression!

The blood energy in Jiang You's arm had been compressed through inversion, plus the wind-element sword qi he had just plundered and absorbed.

The two forces crazily intertwined, compressed, and fused on his fist, finally turning into a terrifying destructive power that far exceeded his own realm.

"Crack!!!"

The longsword in Gu Changfeng's hand, the moment he tried to block, shattered directly into pieces filling the sky.

Immediately after, the punch force penetrated his body!

"Pfft!!!"

Gu Changfeng's whole body arched like a shrimp. The clothes on his back instantly exploded, and a terrifying pillar of energy shot out through his body, directly shattering the rock wall behind him!

"Ugh..."

Gu Changfeng's eyeballs bulged, and his Brain went completely blank.

He only felt as if he had been hit head-on by an ancient savage dragon, and all the bones in his body had fallen apart in an instant.

"This... this is the Third-Order?"

With his final question and despair, Gu Changfeng turned into a shooting star, smashing heavily into the depths of the canyon, kicking up dust that filled the sky.

[System Judgment: Red side has lost vital signs!]

[Blue side Jiang You, victory!]

[Time taken: 1 minute and 25 seconds!]

...

In the real world, Pool 1 lounge.

"Hiss—" Gu Changfeng's combat pod door opened.

He clutched his chest, walking out staggering with a pale face. Every step felt like stepping on cotton; his footing was unsteady.

The feeling of being hit by that punch from Jiang You in the virtual battlefield just now was so real; his chest still retained the excruciating pain as if it were about to be torn apart.

The students of Class A, who had originally held expectations for him, now had only shock and disbelief on their faces.

They had witnessed with their own eyes the devastating scene on the big screen. The Fourth-Order sword cultivator, who was high and mighty in their eyes, had been so easily defeated by a freshman who had just broken through to the Mid-Third-Order, without even the power to fight back.

Gu Changfeng felt the gazes cast from around him—some were sympathetic, some puzzled, but more were a kind of silent mockery. This made his already extremely depressed mood even worse.

On the other side, Jiang You walked out, refreshed and invigorated.

He even patted his stomach, looking as if he hadn't had enough:

"Sigh, the digestion is a bit fast."

"A little... too full."

The whole place was deathly silent. Everyone was looking at Jiang You with eyes as if they were looking at a "monster."

If the previous instant kill of Cong Nanshan was a victory of technique, then this slaughter of Gu Changfeng was a complete, thorough numerical suppression!

That kind of domineering style—ignoring defense, eating the ultimate move head-on, and killing instantly with a backhand punch—raised a deep sense of powerlessness in everyone's hearts.

"Is this the Mid-Third-Order?"

A contestant from Class B swallowed, his voice trembling:

"These stats... are they overpowered?"

"I think even Xie Fuyao wouldn't dare to play like this, right?"

In the corner, Lu Xingye watched this scene, his hand gripping his sword trembling—it was from excitement:

"As expected of my mortal enemy!"

"To catch up to my pace, he actually didn't hesitate to fall into the demonic path, comprehending this forbidden demonic art that devours the power of others!"

Lu Xingye suddenly clutched his chest, revealing a look of utter grief and deep struggle, as if watching a loved one go astray.

He slowly closed his eyes, and in his mind, he instantly imagined an eighty-episode epic drama of love and hate.
