Martial Artist: Stronger by Coasting Along
Chapter 117 - 10: Breaking Records
CHAPTER 117: CHAPTER 10: BREAKING RECORDS
He even saw a group of more than a dozen Catfish Demons with a Combat Power of 15.0 lying scattered in the tunnel.
Each one had been killed instantly.
The battle was settled with one strike; not a single Catfish Demon bore a second wound.
Kang Ning, Teng Qingshan, Hu Bin, and many others who’ve had contact with Ling Feng were experiencing a nightmarish blow.
Even Lai Zhijun, whose Combat Power was only around 15.0, encountered Ling Feng at a tunnel intersection. He had just seen Ling Feng’s figure and hadn’t had time to greet him when the Catfish Demons that nearly cornered him fell one after another.
Ling Feng resembled an unparalleled hero.
Killing a man every ten steps, traveling a thousand miles without pause.
His Points kept rising, quickly surpassing 500, then 600, 700, exceeding previous final exam records.
Finally, Ling Feng burst through the tunnels into the Catfish Demon nest, where he saw Catfish Demons with a Combat Power of 15.0 everywhere on the cave walls and floor.
In previous assessments, some Martial Dao students had reached the Catfish Demon nest, but none had swept through with such speed and strength to be the first to arrive like Ling Feng.
In that instant, Ling Feng was surrounded by Catfish Demons.
"Gah!"
These simulated Catfish Demons had attributes and Combat Power identical to real ones, and seeing humans was like seeing delicious food, unable to resist tearing them apart and devouring them completely.
They swarmed like a tidal wave towards Ling Feng.
"Swish!"
Ling Feng dashed out once again.
He knew this was the endpoint; handling the Catfish Demons here would allow him to exit.
He also understood that with his current Combat Power, although he could instantly kill one Catfish Demon after another, if their numbers were too great, even Ao Dagang might not withstand the swarm.
Therefore, he couldn’t be surrounded.
So he moved swiftly among the waves of Catfish Demons.
Wherever the spear’s shadow crossed, Catfish Demons fell. He avoided being surrounded and could not stay to fight but instead engaged with them in guerrilla warfare.
The nauseating stench and the relentless cries made him very irritated, and he couldn’t resist speeding up his movements to leave this cursed place sooner.
One Catfish Demon with a Combat Power of 15.0 was worth five Points.
Ten would be fifty Points, a hundred would be five hundred Points.
Ling Feng was rampaging in the nest, and his Points were rapidly increasing.
"It’s strange why his Combat Power remains so formidable, as if he has endless strength?"
In the observation room, someone noticed something unusual.
Some even suspected Ling Feng of cheating.
So someone checked Ling Feng’s body in the Sleep Pod to see if anyone was continuously injecting him with Potions or Nutrient Liquid during the assessment.
They found no issues at all.
"Hmm?"
However, Ao Dagang, who was with the City Lord, noticed something astonishing about Ling Feng in the Sleep Pod via video transmission.
He found it incredible and especially had the camera zoom in to examine Ling Feng’s breathing closely, discovering that Ling Feng was involuntarily practicing Breathing Technique while sleeping.
That’s why his Combat Power remained consistently strong, although diminishing slightly, the change was minimal and not noticeable in the short term.
"Master Ao, is there something wrong with Ling Feng?"
Xu Songlin asked.
"It’s really strange that his body involuntarily practices Breathing Technique, a skill only those who’ve cultivated to a certain level can possess. How can Ling Feng do it?
Moreover, if his body can involuntarily practice Breathing Technique, his Physical Fitness shouldn’t only be just over three?"
Ao Dagang couldn’t make sense of it.
Though knowledgeable and aware of the world’s vast and strange phenomena, he couldn’t immediately understand Ling Feng’s physical condition.
Still, Ling Feng drew more of his attention.
"Boom!"
In the Catfish Demon nest, Chen Duling held a Treasure Sword in each hand, with seven Flying Sabers left at her waist; she was the second to arrive at the Catfish Demon nest.
She kicked away the Catfish Demons blocking the tunnel.
"My mother and Aunt Liu both said there is a powerful Martial Dao student in South City. Now my Combat Power has reached 40.2, yet my mother still advised caution. It seems this powerful Martial Dao student they mentioned is a strong Dharma Martial Artist.
When did such a figure appear in South City?
If this person is really so strong, they would certainly be ahead of me, already in the nest.
I must see who they are!
Even someone of my background isn’t their match."
Seeing the light at the end of the tunnel and hearing the cries of the Catfish Demons inside, Chen Duling slowly approached the tunnel end, looking into the vast and boundless cave.
Liu Qing and Huang Ling didn’t dare disclose the appearance of a Dharma Realm Martial Dao student in South City, but they indirectly warned Chen Duling and Ye Chen of a stronger Martial Dao student in South City.
Chen Duling inferred, from her Combat Power and Huang Ling’s tone, that this person’s strength had long surpassed 40.0, a force that even she couldn’t contend with.
Her heart was unconvinced.
She wanted to compete with them.
That’s why she ran towards the endpoint, wanting to be the first to reach the Catfish Demon nest to prove she was the most outstanding Martial Dao student in South City.
