Chapter 149 Cooperation

Zhuang Yijing was only using gentle force now, not even her sect's killer moves. She knew both Zhuxing Longying (All Stars Dragon Shadow) and Long Sha (Dragon Evil), both explosive killer moves.

She was already gaining the upper hand without using them.

Clearly a good sign.

Sure enough, after a few minutes, Zhuang Yijing used an elbow strike, followed by a flurry of punches, directly sending her opponent flying.

After entering the Power Realm, coupled with various medicinal baths and nourishing strengthening drugs, gene enhancement injections and other methods, her strength was no longer that little transparent person that Li Cheng颐 had seen back then.

Next was the third person, Chen Zhongda, the master of the Xinyi Hunyuan (Heart-Mind Mixed Origin) School.

This person was rich in actual combat experience, but he was already sixty-four years old and had entered a period of decline. After clashing with Zhuang Yijing for several moves and discovering that he was not as strong, he began to circle around.

Because of the difference in actual combat experience, Zhuang Yijing suffered a lot of blows, her mouth was bleeding, and her left face was swollen. After using Zhuxing Longying (All Stars Dragon Shadow) twice in a row without hitting anyone, she quickly lost.

"She doesn't have enough fighting will." Li Cheng颐 frowned.

Just one punch to the face caused her state to decline drastically and she was quickly defeated.

This wasn't a problem with her skill, but rather her fighting will was too weak.

"...There's no way, she doesn't have much reason to fight." Yu Long was silent for a moment, then replied. She joined martial arts practice too short of a time.

"Next, it's Xiao Nan." Li Cheng颐 said.

Yu Long glanced at him.

He didn't actually have high hopes for Xiao Nan. Zhuang Yijing was already the super genius he could see.

As for Li Chongnan, he had secretly observed her before and found that she had ordinary aptitude and nothing outstanding.

But because of Li Cheng頤's attitude, he was skeptical again, after all, Li Cheng頤's strength was too strong, so strong that he could no longer see his back.

His recognition carried a lot of weight.

"Xiao Nan, be careful, if you can't hold on, admit defeat immediately!" Zhuang Yijing whispered as she passed Li Chongnan.

"You're only a teenager, you'll have plenty of opportunities in the future, don't try to be brave and force yourself." Zhuang Yijing added.

"." Li Chongnan didn't reply, just glanced at her.

"What are you wasting your breath on her for, that ignorant little girl." Yu Yanxiao bandaged her wounds in the back and said coldly. "Let her suffer a bit, so she knows her little bit of skill is nothing."

She was initially shocked by Li Chongnan's ruthlessness, but later felt a little embarrassed and couldn't stand the other party's arrogant attitude.

"Don't say that, Xiao Nan is just young and doesn't know how to communicate with people very well." Zhuang Yijing advised.

Li Cheng颐 didn't speak. He also heard the conversation between the two women, but at this time, he was just staring at Li Chongnan on the stage.

Li Chongnan's current Sacred Spirit Art had reached the end of the first section. She only needed to meet the required intensity of her mind to enter the second section.

The improvement of the Sacred Spirit Art, the increase in body amplification, and the enhancement of the Wisdom Sword, had reached an exaggerated level.

And Li Chongnan's improvement would simultaneously drive his cultivation improvement.

Therefore, what Li Cheng颐 needed to ensure was that Li Chongnan would continue to build momentum, continuously strengthen her will, reach her peak, and break through her limits.

Money, resources, enhancement injections, her father Li Changgu didn't lack any of these and expressed his full support.

The only thing lacking was the intensity of her will.

Buzz.

The force field barrier was activated again.

At this time, Chen Zhongda of the Xinyi Hunyuan (Heart-Mind Mixed Origin) School and Li Chongnan, who had just taken the stage, were standing on the stage.

"Old thing, you're so old, why don't you go back and enjoy your old age, are you running to the arena to find death?"

Li Chongnan crossed her arms in front of her chest, her chin slightly raised, her eyes cold and contemptuous.

"Hehe... You're just a junior, how dare you spout wild words!!" Chen Zhongda was instantly enraged. For this kind of ignorant little guy, the best way to teach them a lesson was to beat them up!

Without saying a word, he took a step forward and used the Tanyun Nawu (Seeking Clouds Grasping Mist) continuous killer move from Hunyuan Gong (Mixed Origin Art).

This move used the palm as a feint, while the claw was the real move.

But his right palm had just been struck forward.

Suddenly, Li Chongnan in front of him sidestepped to avoid it, and the two instantly exchanged positions.

Chī.

The arena inexplicably fell silent.

Li Chongnan stood up straight and shook off the blood from her fingertips.

"The outcome was determined from the moment you faced me."

"You!!!?" Chen Zhongda lowered his head, looking at a huge bloody gash that was slowly splitting open in the middle of his chest.

At this moment, the flesh and chest bones were like they had been cut open by an extremely sharp knife, and blood was seeping out.

Bang.

He knelt on the ground, covering his chest. This attack had already injured his lungs, making it impossible for him to breathe.

"Longxu School wins!"

The mechanical referee raised his right hand and made the judgment.

The force field disappeared, and the surrounding audience let out a piercing uproar. Obviously, everyone didn't expect the outcome to be decided so quickly.

Li Chongnan slowly stepped down from the stage, not even looking at her so-called opponent. Instead, under the admiring gazes, she walked step by step to Li Cheng頤.

The two locked eyes.

In an instant, dense black sacred characters, Sacred Spirit Art characters that only the two of them could see, appeared in Li Chongnan's eyes for a moment like countless insects, and then quickly disappeared.

That represented that the Sacred Spirit Art had broken through to the third section.

"Good job." Li Cheng颐 ruffled her hair.

"It's far from when the teacher ravaged me." Li Chongnan said coldly.

"What? You still want to beat me?" Li Cheng颐 asked in surprise.

"Isn't that what you expected?" Li Chongnan replied calmly. "You said that you would test me every once in a while, and if you're not satisfied..."

"Yes, if you don't want to die, then desperately move forward." Li Cheng颐 withdrew his hand. "Also, remember that the core of the Sacred Spirit Art is will. Will must never waver. Once it wavers, the Sacred Heart will be torn apart, and you must kill the source that shakes you as soon as possible. Otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?"

"You will die." Li Cheng颐 said.

Li Chongnan's pupils shrank slightly, and she was silent.

Just wavering in will would lead to death!? She suddenly felt that there was a big problem with the Sacred Spirit Art.

A big, big problem.

Its speed of improvement was too fast. From an ordinary person to breaking through the limits of the human body, how many days did it take her?

Not even a month.

No normal martial art can achieve this speed.

No, not just achieve it, she hadn't even heard of it.

"Regret it?" Li Cheng颐 smiled.

"."

"Let me tell you a secret." Li Cheng颐 brought his face closer and said softly in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"Once the Sacred Spirit Art is cultivated and you enter the door, there's no turning back. You can only become stronger and stronger, and eliminate all the factors that shake you. And once you stop, you will also die."

Li Chongnan's expression was indifferent. She wasn't a fool. In fact, she had considered these things in the days since she had successfully cultivated the Sacred Spirit Art.

It's just that she didn't expect that even stopping cultivation would have such serious consequences as death.

"What about you?" she asked in a low voice.

"Me? Of course I'm an exception." Li Cheng颐 smiled, "If one day, your Sacred Spirit Art can be cultivated to the final Sacred Infant Realm, then all the side effects will disappear. Whether it's wavering will or stopping cultivation, it will no longer affect you."

"I understand... Sacred Infant, huh." A trace of determination flashed in Li Chongnan's eyes.

Leaving Li Cheng頤, she walked towards the Longxu School's isolated rest area.

Yu Yanxiao, who had been glaring at her coldly just now, was now staring at her blankly, her face a little pale. She didn't know what to say.

She completely couldn't understand why just one move opened such a big gash in Chen Zhongda's chest.

Zhuang Yijing, after being shocked, hurried forward and grabbed her hand.

"Xiao Nan, are you okay? I just saw you brushing past that old man, and I almost didn't dodge it, which scared me and made my heart beat faster. I didn't expect you to win in the end! Fortunately, fortunately there's you! Otherwise, we would have been knocked out in the first game, and the school might have been delisted!"

Her expression was sincere, and she was unspeakably lucky, and her forehead was faintly oozing with fine sweat.

Li Chongnan's hand was grabbed, and she pulled it away, but it was grabbed a second time, and she frowned, and then listened to it.

Yu Long was on the side, constantly recalling the winning scene just now. He completely didn't understand why just a random slash in front of the opponent's chest could cause such serious injuries, almost like opening up the abdomen.

What kind of terrifying cultivation technique did Li Cheng颐 create!?

Li Cheng颐 seemed to notice his gaze, turned his head and smiled slightly.

"I have something to do in the next few days, so I'll leave Xiao Nan to you."

"Where are you going at such a critical moment!?" Yu Long couldn't help but ask.

"Naturally, there is something more important." Li Cheng颐 patted the wrinkles on his clothes, turned and walked towards the exit.

The competition would last for many days, one game a day, and it would be a long time before the final.

Naturally, it was impossible for him to stay here all the time.

After saying hello to Zhuang Yijing and others, Li Cheng颐 passed through layers of checkpoints and completely left the Martial Arts Hall.

Because he wasn't a contestant, and because of the Li family's relationship, he wasn't on the list of people prohibited from leaving.

Soon, it was night.

In a block near the Martial Arts Hall.

Li Cheng颐 walked halfway along the block and passed through a shadow at a patrolling and monitoring blind spot.

Whoosh!

Walking out of the shadow, his face had turned into a brilliant and gorgeous swirling galaxy.

The clothes on his body had also changed, and the Jie Mao Feilian (Knot Hair Flying Squirrel) flower scale armor was added.

It was the superimposed stealth fusion form.

After changing forms, he walked straight ahead, about to continue searching for powerful opponents to deal with in advance.

Chī!

Suddenly, a soft sound came from not far behind.

His expression changed slightly, and he stopped, turned around, and his figure instantly flashed with black light, disappearing in place.

A dozen seconds later, in a private courtyard hundreds of meters away.

Li Cheng颐 walked out of the shadows, looking at the strong men lying upside down all over the ground.

The plaque with the five big characters "Longhu Tiesha Zhang" (Dragon Tiger Iron Sand Palm) was broken and thrown on the ground.

Some of these people were unconscious, and some were seriously injured and dying. They had all been wiped out.

"Hehe... I didn't expect there to be a fish that escaped the net here."

An electronic voice changer came faintly from Li Cheng颐's right.

"Solving opponents outside the arena in advance? I didn't expect that just by wandering around, I could encounter such a shameless person." Li Cheng颐 said in a deep voice, looking in the direction of the sound.

"Hehe..." The mysterious man was hiding in the corner of the courtyard, only revealing the toes of a pair of red metal boots.

"The previous few off-site attacks were also done by you, right?" Li Cheng颐 said, decisively throwing the work he had done onto the other party's head.

"...I just arrived today."

"Don't quibble. Since you've done such a despicable thing, you still want to cover it up, acting like a coward and refusing to admit it?" Li Cheng颐 interrupted him.

"I hate people interrupting me." The mysterious man's voice was low.

"I also hate you kind of sneaky, underground rats who only dare to make off-site moves." Li Cheng颐's voice was cold.

"Hehe... You're asking for death!" The mysterious man's voice was a little angry.

"Asking for death? I'm standing right here." Li Cheng颐 spread his arms, "Come, can you move a single hair on my head."

He leaned his body forward slightly, lowered his voice, with a hint of mockery.

"I'll commit suicide immediately."

Kacha.

At the corner, a blood-red, hideous exoskeleton slowly walked out, and golden eyes stared at Li Cheng颐.

"You guy..."

He held a light gold long knife and slowly raised it flatly.

"You don't even have any hair!!"

Silence.

The two were a little cold for a while.

"." Li Cheng颐 reached out and touched his forehead.

At this time, his galaxy face, including his face and head, was all gone. Above his neck, there was only a huge galaxy slowly rotating.

Indeed, there was no hair...

"You saw through me." He laughed dryly twice.

"Hehe, dressed like this, you're also of the same mind as me, right?" The mysterious man sneered.

"How is that possible!" Li Cheng颐 smiled, "I'm a righteous person. I'm here specifically to save those who are weak and prevent them from being harmed."

"Sneaking into private territory, is that what you call a righteous person!?" The red-armored man continued to sneer.

"Of course." Li Cheng颐 smiled, "After all, you might be beaten to death in the arena. But with me, you'll at most be crippled."

The two fell silent again.

The cold wind blew and fallen leaves fluttered. For a moment, the courtyard faintly revealed a trace of murderous intent.

"Cooperation?" Li Cheng颐 suddenly said.
