Chapter 467: Chapter 18: Exquisite as Jade, Yiyun in the Sky_2

After the Sword Qi Torrent, Gan Jingcheng stood on the spot unharmed.

He didn’t rush to attack, continuing to wait for Wang Fengqing to make a move.

Wang Fengqing decisively retreated, creating some distance before she continued to absorb Earth Qi and build up her strength.

Soon, she launched a second attack.

This time, she concentrated most of the Sword Qi at one point, trying to break through with precision.

Gan Jingcheng didn’t block crosswise with his sword; instead, he met the tip of his sword with hers, rapidly organizing and diverting the burst of Sword Qi from the other side, allowing it to flow past both sides of his body.

Upon seeing this, Wang Fengqing immediately changed her tactic; her longsword flickered, and dozens of jade-green sword lights blossomed, instantly attacking Gan Jingcheng from numerous different angles!

Gan Jingcheng’s face still wore a light smile as he countered tip with tip, sword light with sword light, nonchalantly neutralizing this wave of offense completely.

Far from discouraged, Wang Fengqing pulled back once more, powering up on the spot and then attacking.

In this way, she built up her power and made her move, time after time.

Her sword moves were complex and varied, coupled with the jade-green Green Steel Power, they were a sight to behold, like a delicately carved jade elegantly radiating its luster, entrancing the onlookers!

But no matter what techniques she employed, she could not breach Gan Jingcheng’s defense and kept returning without success.

“How amazing!”

Many in the audience showed signs of amazement.

Everyone had known in advance there was a significant gap between Wang Fengqing and Gan Jingcheng, but they hadn’t expected it to be this great.

So far, Gan Jingcheng hadn’t even used any active Extraordinary Abilities.

Faced with such a significant gap, Wang Fengqing remained calm, seemingly unaffected.

She had made 27 moves against Gan Jingcheng, and the agreement of 30 moves was now close.

On the 28th move, Wang Fengqing calmly thrust her sword.

When the blades collided, her jade-colored skin suddenly cracked all over, like a piece of porcelain about to shatter!

The smile on Gan Jingcheng’s face vanished momentarily, and his sword was even chipped by the impact!

The next second, an overwhelming Force surged from Wang Fengqing’s longsword.

If the previous Sword Qi Torrent was likened to a surging river, then this moment was like the Furious Sea!

Whoooosh—

In the spectator seats near the competition area, many heard the sound of waves in their ears and felt a surge of mist in the air as if they had suddenly arrived by the sea, watching a colossal wave about to sweep over them, creating an intense feeling of suffocation.

Tao Power—[Furious Sea Storm]!

Being a prodigy of Wuda, who gave Li Fei the top-tier legacy “Red Sound Fire Vajra Skill” despite the lack of Academic Points and money, naturally, they wouldn’t let Wang Fengqing be shortchanged.

[Furious Sea Storm] was one of the top-tier legacies Wang Fengqing had mastered, her Tao Power, which she was supposed to be able to use only after integrating a third Water Attribute Implant, transforming her Force from Gold Attribute to Water Attribute.

At this moment, she forced it out after paying a certain price!

The roaring Sword Qi storm finally broke through Gan Jingcheng’s defense, and he retreated while swiftly swinging his longsword.

The greenish-blue Force turned into gentle clouds encompassing Gan Jingcheng entirely, making his body seem to fade into nothingness, as if he was no longer of this world.

No matter how powerful the force, it could not harm him.

Tao Power—[Yiyun in the Sky]!

Thus, Gan Jingcheng was pushed back over two hundred meters by the Sword Qi storm, and once the Sword Qi dissipated, a gigantic ravine spanning over two hundred meters appeared on the ground.

At one end of the ravine stood Wang Fengqing, her whole body covered with cracks, presenting a most shocking sight.

On the other end stood Gan Jingcheng, who appeared still unhurt except for a few tears in his Taoist robe.

“So, Junior Sister Wang’s second Core Level Extraordinary Ability is ‘Jade Shatter.’ Truly fierce,” Gan Jingcheng remarked with a smile.

Even though he had been unexpectedly forced to reveal his Tao Power, he still maintained his composure.

Both possessing [steel armor], the Core Level Extraordinary Ability activated by Wang Fengqing was different from that of Li Fei.

Her activated ability, known as ‘Jade Shatter,’ is a kamikaze ability that allows her to unleash power far beyond her own limits!

The cost is that she temporarily can’t use ‘Overlord Body’ and activate the [steel armor] Implant.

‘Overlord Body,’ having integrated Earth Qi, became even tougher, thus the upper limit of power that ‘Jade Shatter’ could unleash also increased.

This was why Wang Fengqing could force out her Tao Power in advance.

She had pushed Gan Jingcheng to use his Tao Power with her own!

Given the vast difference in their strengths, such an achievement was enough for her to be proud.

Wang Fengqing calmly wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, bowed to Gan Jingcheng, and then turned to walk outside the ring.

Blood continuously dripped from the ‘pattern’ of cracks on her body, staining the soil on the ground red.

As she walked to the edge of the arena, she left a bloody trail on the ground!

Behind her, Gan Jingcheng’s smile faded as he seriously bowed to her.

“Upper Pure Sect’s Gan Jingcheng wins!”

It wasn’t until now that the referee reacted and announced the result.

Wang Fengqing voluntarily leaving the ring was a sign of concession.

But no one thought she hadn’t given it her all.

Gan Jingcheng had offered her thirty moves, yet on the twenty-eighth, she chose to unleash her full power without regard for the consequences.

She left no room for herself!

In truth, even if she had lost this match, no one would have blamed her, and everyone would have understood.

But Wang Fengqing had still chosen to use “Jade Shattering.”

This would inevitably affect her participation in the ranking matches in the afternoon.

And that was her choice; she didn’t care what others thought.

Applause burst forth throughout the venue, clapping for the exciting match and for Wang Fengqing’s unwavering spirit.

“Gan Jingcheng cultivates the ‘Tao Foundation’ known as ‘Yiyun in the Sky,’ which he trained in sequence, eventually mastering a ‘Force’ called ‘Endless Sky Yiyun Force,’ a power that breaks free from the confines of the Five Elements.”

Sitting next to Li Fei, Qin Zhen suddenly spoke up, “He has already mastered the Endless Sky Yiyun Force.”

Li Fei nodded, “Thank you, Professor Qin, for the insight.”

Before this, everyone only knew that Gan Jingcheng had integrated five types of ‘Implants,’ but they couldn’t assess his exact combat power.

After all, just having incorporated the fifth ‘Implant,’ which had not yet reached the ‘Qi Change Stage,’ was different from one that had reached that phase.

The latter meant that the ‘Force’ had already fused the five types of ‘Innate Qi,’ and had initially attained ‘Perfection.’

Qin Zhen stating that Gan Jingcheng had already mastered the Endless Sky Yiyun Force meant that his ‘Force’ had reached ‘Perfection,’ at least at the ‘Seventh Tier’ of the ‘Tao Foundation Stage’!

“Just before leaving, Principal Shi told me that you should strive to be number one this time.”

Qin Zhen turned his head to look at Li Fei and said earnestly,

“I’m really looking forward to it.”

There were not many things that could spark his interest.

He believed that if it were him in Li Fei’s current ‘Realm,’ it would be nearly impossible to defeat an opponent like Gan Jingcheng.

Thus, he was very eager to see Li Fei’s performance.

Li Fei nodded calmly, “I’ll do my best.”

“The next match, Wu’an University’s Li Fei versus Daluo Sect’s Ning Xing!”

A loud voice came through the speakers.

Hearing his own name, Li Fei stood up from his seat, bowed to Qin Zhen, then turned and walked down the steps.

As he descended the stands, he encountered Wang Fengqing, who had finished treating her wounds and had changed into a fresh set of clothes from the rest area.

“Good luck.”

Wang Fengqing said to him.

“Thank you.”

Li Fei nodded in response, then the two passed by each other.

On the other side, Ning Xing approached the ring with a nervous face.

Actually, not just for the match against Li Fei but before all his previous matches, no matter who the opponent was, Ning Xing always felt nervous.

He picked a longsword and looked back at his senior apprentice brother in the stands on instinct.

Ning Chuan nodded at him, giving him an affirming look.

Only then did Ning Xing calm down, took a deep breath, and whispered to himself,

“Ning Xing, you can do it!”

He then walked onto the field with his sword.

At the same time, Li Fei had also chosen his blade and stepped into the arena.

“Begin!”

The referee at the side of the ring shouted loudly.
