Chapter 118 - 10: Record Breaker

The commotion from the Catfish Demon’s nest made her realize that someone had already beaten her to it.

So, she remained calm.

Reaching the end of the tunnel, she wanted to catch a glimpse of this person’s prowess.

Finally, she saw a swift figure in the nest, engaging in guerrilla warfare with a group of Catfish Demons, each with a Combat Power of 15.0. He utilized his agile Speed and seamless Spear Technique, as if orchestrating the demons’ movements, causing chaos as his silhouette led the demons on a wild chase.

The Catfish Demons, unable to catch up to his pace, couldn’t corner him, and each time one approached him, it was swiftly speared to death, causing a growing agitation among them.

One by one, they were frantically spun around by this person’s antics.

And this person was none other than Zhang Lingfeng.

"Zhang Lingfeng... it really is you."

Chen Duling’s breath quickened.

Upon learning that Zhang Lingfeng, whose Spear Skills had undergone a second metamorphosis, had defeated Ye Chen, whose Combat Power was 37.7, she admitted that for a moment, she thought Zhang Lingfeng’s Combat Power might have exceeded 40.0.

But the content subtly revealed by Huang Ling and Liu Qing indicated that the formidable Dharma Realm Martial Dao student had a Combat Power far surpassing Zhang Lingfeng’s.

So, she didn’t dwell on Zhang Lingfeng too much.

Moreover, Zhang Lingfeng often skipped classes in Yan Fei’s sessions, making it extremely difficult to cultivate his Spear Skills to a second metamorphosis, making it impossible for him to be that formidable Dharma Realm Martial Dao student.

Even assuming a second metamorphosis of skills, Zhang Lingfeng’s strength couldn’t surpass hers by that much.

Yet, unexpectedly, that powerful Dharma Realm senior Martial Dao student was Zhang Lingfeng!

At this moment, Chen Duling felt Zhang Lingfeng was very unfamiliar.

Although when Yang Liru first contacted her and saw Zhang Lingfeng win several matches in the ranking competition, Zhang Lingfeng already made her see him in a new light.

Later he defeated Kang Ning, moved into Inner Ring City, and even in the Advanced Cultivation Class, defeated Zhou Changqing and recently Ye Chen, yet throughout, Chen Duling never felt she would lose to Zhang Lingfeng.

For no particular reason.

Because Huang Ling was a Mental Telekinesis Master.

Because she practiced diligently and earnestly.

Because she possessed various precious resources that Zhang Lingfeng couldn’t obtain, in addition to guidance from famous teachers, making it impossible for Zhang Lingfeng, no matter how talented, to compare to her in a short time.

It wasn’t until now that Chen Duling realized how ridiculously wrong she was.

Zhang Lingfeng was currently blazing ahead in the assessment, surpassing her imagination, and she believed his Points had already peaked, especially after seeing the corpses of those Catfish Demons.

Each one was a one-shot kill.

Five Points per demon, fifty Points for ten.

By the time she arrived here, dozens of Catfish Demons had fallen forever.

She could foresee how far Zhang Lingfeng’s Points had surpassed hers.

"Roar!"

But shock aside, Chen Duling didn’t stand there dumbfounded; instead, she immediately joined the battle. Even if her Combat Power was less than Zhang Lingfeng’s, she couldn’t allow the Points gap between them to be too vast.

Moreover, at this moment, she heard a howling voice from another tunnel.

The voice was very familiar.

It was Ye Chen.

Although Ye Chen hadn’t awakened his potential at the last moment, with the help of a potion, he had raised his Combat Power above 39.0.

He had been longing to meet Zhang Lingfeng in the tunnel, hoping to teach Zhang Lingfeng a lesson.

Unfortunately, to his disappointment, Zhang Lingfeng was nowhere to be found.

So he simply kept running towards the finish line, planning to meet Zhang Lingfeng atop the mountain and witness for himself the Dharma Realm Martial Dao student praised to the skies by his mother and Huang Ling.

"Oh son!"

In the observation room of Zhengxing High School, Liu Qing quickly spotted Ye Chen closing in on the tunnel’s end, but there wasn’t a trace of joy on her face. Instead, she shut her eyes in despair.

It wasn’t that Ye Chen’s performance wasn’t good enough.

It was because Zhang Lingfeng’s performance was too astonishing, and she feared Ye Chen wouldn’t be able to handle the blow upon realizing that the strongest Martial Dao student was Zhang Lingfeng.

Originally, Ye Chen’s Combat Power couldn’t change so drastically at the last minute. It was only his persistent pleading, his insistence on redeeming his honor in this assessment or leaving Jiangbei Province altogether, that forced her to resort to a potion to boost his Combat Power.

She had thought it would fulfill Ye Chen’s wish, but who would have thought... Zhang Lingfeng was that powerful Dharma Realm Martial Dao student, and now his Points had surpassed the total of both Chen Duling and her son.
