"Heās sleeping?"
"Werenāt we supposed to be recalling the battle to find the opponentās weaknesses?"
"Why is this guy always so unreliable!"
...
The people in the observation room were all dumbfounded by Zhang Lingfengās snoring.
Even Marquis Zhuge frowned, as Zhang Lingfengās behavior seemed like a deliberate surrender.
"What does he mean by this?"
Practicing the Basic Spear Skill Thirteen Forms, Wu Feiyu quickly noticed Zhang Lingfengās actions, appearing bewildered, as if Zhang Lingfeng was mocking him.
He was so angry he wanted to jab Zhang Lingfeng awake with his spear.
But he finally stopped in his tracks, sighing internally, "The teacher sent me here to teach him a lesson, but this guy is evenly matched with me. If I canāt beat him, how will I explain it when I go back?"
"Well, let him sleep if he wants, itās him whoās losing, not me."
Thinking this, Wu Feiyu regained his composure and earnestly studied the spear technique.
"Why did he suddenly fall asleep?"
Ye Xuan felt puzzled.
"Heās always like this, never taking cultivation seriously. Now do you believe me?"
Wang Dashan was torn between laughter and tears.
Zhang Lingfeng could dance the Steel Spear Dance in front of him and find time to nap during simulated evaluations, which seemed to be quite normal.
Ye Xuan and Liu Qing were both a bit skeptical.
No matter what, Zhang Lingfengās current behavior indeed seemed outrageous to them.
Is his current level of strength really from not cultivating seriously?
Thus, everyone in the observation room waited for an hour for Zhang Lingfeng and Wu Feiyu.
As soon as time was up, Wu Feiyu shouted, "Zhang Lingfeng, we can continue now."
"Ah!"
Zhang Lingfeng slowly opened his eyes, yawned, stretched, and twisted his neck.
Taking this opportunity, he checked the changes in his Coasting Along Value.
Coasting Along Value: 12
Although not much, better than nothing.
He quickly added it to the Intermediate Thirteen Forms Spear Technique.
Coasting Along Value: None
Intermediate Thirteen Forms Spear Technique: Minor Success (20/100)
Combat Power: 25.40113
"Hahaha, letās go!"
Zhang Lingfeng laughed heartily.
A combat power of 25.4 was nearing Wu Feiyuās 25.5. With his arm strength and superior speed, Zhang Lingfeng couldnāt believe he couldnāt take down Wu Feiyu.
He knows clearly in his heart.
An additional 200 kilograms to arm strength and superior abilities were not accounted for in the combat power value.
Otherwise, his combat power would be much higher.
Whereas Wu Feiyuās combat power mainly comprised of physical fitness, hidden power, and skill level, appearing to be 0.1 more than his own, was actually surpassed by him now.
If Wu Feiyu hadnāt cultivated the Flying Leaf Lotus Spear to perfection with great skills in both defense and attack, he wouldnāt have held out against Zhang Lingfeng till now.
"How can he be laughing?"
Liu Qing shook her head.
During this hour, Zhang Lingfeng only slept soundly while Wu Feiyu pondered on breaking Zhang Lingfengās defense, gaining a new understanding of the Basic Spear Skill Thirteen Forms, as if making tremendous progress.
Zhang Lingfeng could never be evenly matched with Wu Feiyu as before.
"Perhaps Zhang Lingfengās intention is to hope Wu Feiyu can defeat him sooner so that the simulated evaluation ends quickly and he can leave the Star Realm and return to reality sooner."
Yang Liru suddenly spoke.
As Zhang Lingfengās class teacher who had previously instructed him in the Star Realm, she had seen him let his spear skills slip through her spear before disappearing before her eyes.
Since it was a simulated assessment, he couldnāt concede on his own, nor did he want to keep stalemating with Wu Feiyu, so he came up with this harebrained idea.
He lay to the side, giving Wu Feiyu plenty of time to improve, allowing the simulated evaluation to end quickly.
"Sigh, what will it take to change his attitude towards cultivation, or rather, his personality."
Hong Lixin strongly agreed with Yang Liruās opinion.
Wang Dashan also nodded slightly. All three had witnessed how resistant Zhang Lingfeng was to cultivation.
"Better to die standing than live kneeling, Zhang Lingfeng, why canāt you show some fighting spirit."
Upon hearing Yang Liru and othersā voices, Kang Ning was furious.
Although he understood, in his heart, that it was almost impossible for Zhang Lingfeng to defeat Wu Feiyu, he was deeply angry and disdainful of Zhang Lingfengās passive resistance.
If it were him, even if Wu Feiyuās spear skill tore him to pieces, he would exhaust every option to defeat Wu Feiyu, never giving up.
In that moment, people held negative views of Zhang Lingfengās actions, even Marquis Zhuge felt deeply disdainful internally.
If Zhang Lingfeng was eager to lose to Wu Feiyu to leave the Star Realm early, then someone with such high talent could never elevate his Life-taking Linked Spear to greater heights.
"Buzz!"
In the sewer.
Wu Feiyu could scarcely wait any longer, attacking Zhang Lingfeng without hesitation, eager to end the examination as soon as possible, just like Zhang Lingfeng.
The more prolonged the stalemate, the more it wore on his nerves.
After all, he was a student of Marquis Zhuge, and Zhang Lingfeng was merely an Outer Ring City martial student. If he couldnāt take down Zhang Lingfeng decisively, how could he establish himself in the Inner Ring City, let alone become a formal disciple of Marquis Zhuge someday?
"Buzz!"
Zhang Lingfeng quickly advanced.
With the skill value increased from 8% to 20% of minor success, Zhang Lingfeng distinctly felt some intangible changes in his grasp of the Thirteen Forms Spear Technique.
Initially, he thought Wu Feiyuās Flying Leaf Lotus Spear was a model of strong defense and offense, seemingly impenetrable, hard to overcome.
But at this moment, as the spears clashed, Zhang Lingfeng seemed to see a flaw which rapidly enlarged, filling him with astonishment.
He quickly leveraged his arm strength advantage and superior speed.
"Boom!"
In an instant, the flaw expanded into a door.
His Thirteen Forms Spear Technique finally enveloped Wu Feiyu.
Decisively sweeping with his spear, it struck Wu Feiyuās waist and abdomen soundly.
"No!"
Wu Feiyu cried out in fear.
At their moment of engagement, he hadnāt noticed any changes in Zhang Lingfengās spear technique. But as the spear pressure increased, he suddenly saw Zhang Lingfengās spear avoid several of his continuous attacks.
He tried to use his awakened power and keen eyes to foresee Zhang Lingfengās next move, only to find Zhang Lingfengās moves unpredictable, even his hidden power couldnāt identify Zhang Lingfengās next spear technique.
It was then.
Wu Feiyu was caught off guard.
The flaw widened like a door opening for Zhang Lingfeng, who capitalized on his momentum to sweep his spear horizontally, hitting Wu Feiyuās waist and abdomen, sending him flying backward.
