CHAPTER 43: CHAPTER 43: RAPID PROGRESS

All-weather breathing and exhaling ability.

It means the body can involuntarily perform breathing and exhaling at any moment, an ability surpassing countless breathing techniques in the world.

With this ability, Zhang Lingfeng’s speed of awakening Qi sensation not only exceeds ordinary people, but also greatly enhances Qi sensation, far surpassing the martial arts students of the Outer Ring City.

At this moment, his body, accumulated over time, has simultaneously awakened three Qi sensations.

The five Qi sensations that originally existed also seem to involuntarily merge with these newly appeared three Qi sensations under the guidance of the all-weather breathing and exhaling ability.

This natural awakening and involuntary merging are entirely dependent on the all-weather breathing and exhaling ability. It is precisely because of this ability that Zhang Lingfeng doesn’t need to enhance the Tidal Breathing Method and can dedicate all his coasting along value to spear skills.

At this moment, this advantage seems to be fully unleashed today.

In an instant.

With the addition of these three Qi sensing powers, and the involuntary merging of eight Qi sensations, Zhang Lingfeng’s spear technique, in terms of both speed and power, suddenly improved.

"Boom!"

Qiu Ya’s previously impenetrable swordsmanship barrier appeared to ripple, like a giant stone plunging into a calm lake, raising great waves.

The originally watertight swordsmanship suddenly showed flaws due to the increased speed and power of Zhang Lingfeng’s spear technique.

"Clang!"

...

The long spear struck repeatedly against the longsword.

The basic spear skills reached perfection, with the value finally achieving a perfect 100% at this moment, a natural transformation due to Zhang Lingfeng’s accumulated coasting along value.

"Whistle!"

Qiu Ya saw a flash of white light piercing through her sword defense.

A spear shadow aimed at her throat.

Her expression changed dramatically, wishing to unleash all of Chang Chun Swordsmanship, but found that despite using all her strength, she couldn’t even touch Zhang Lingfeng’s spear shadow.

Poof!

She felt a coolness in her throat.

Seeing an apologetic look in Zhang Lingfeng’s calm eyes, after a slight smile, with a shake of the spear, her body shattered and quickly disappeared from the live broadcast room.

Zhang Lingfeng also entered the next match.

The live broadcast room fell silent again, many from the Inner Ring City entered to watch Qiu Ya’s live broadcast, only to witness her being suppressed from the start by an Outer Ring City martial arts student. Just when it seemed she could reverse the situation, that Outer Ring City martial arts student’s spear technique, power, and speed seemed to break through and transform, instantly piercing through Qiu Ya’s swordsmanship defense and instantly defeating her.

So much so that after the two figures disappeared, people in the live broadcast room were still in shock.

"He won again."

Hu Siqin said.

Since being defeated by Zhang Lingfeng, she had been brooding, always thinking about avenging her defeat in the ranking matches, but in just two short weeks, she saw Zhang Lingfeng’s combat power surge, now even able to defeat an Inner Ring City martial arts student with a combat power of 18.5.

And it was an overwhelming victory.

She couldn’t help but glance at Hu Bin, feeling that Zhang Lingfeng’s strength surpassed her brother’s, even stronger than Teng Qingshan, the representative of the Ninth Middle School.

It should be noted that as an Inner Ring City martial arts student, Qiu Ya’s combat power was not only above Zhang Lingfeng’s, but she had also cultivated intermediate skills in Chang Chun Swordsmanship.

Yet Zhang Lingfeng successfully defeated her with just the perfection of basic spear skills.

At this moment, both Teng Qingshan and Hu Bin felt a strong sense of crisis, while also catching the strange looks around them, realizing that in people’s minds, Zhang Lingfeng could already be put on par with them, or even replace them.

"He has cultivated basic spear skills to perfection."

"He awakened Skillful Strength Third Layer with just basic spear skills."

"Just now, his power and speed seemed to transform."

Yang Liru, Hong Lixin, and Ma Yong discussed.

The three, whose combat power exceeds 30.0 as Elemental Martial Artists, all noticed the change in Zhang Lingfeng’s spear skills at the critical moment, and his advantages in speed and power.

The sudden burst of lethality caught them completely off guard.

"He clearly didn’t practice basic spear techniques that much."

"Same goes for breathing technique."

"Could it really just be talent and potential awakening?"

The three are teachers who have taught not one thousand but at least eight hundred students, yet they had never seen anyone like Zhang Lingfeng.

In a moment of trance, they began to doubt their own knowledge.

"Could there really be people in the world who can casually practice a few times and cultivate a skill to the ultimate level?"

Hong Lixin couldn’t help but ask.

He found this idea very laughable, but many martial arts students beside him glared at him angrily, unable to accept such an anomaly as Zhang Lingfeng.

People would rather believe Zhang Lingfeng was a potential outbreak from taking a genetic potion than believe he could cultivate a skill to the ultimate level with just innate talent and casual practice.

This is an insult to martial arts students everywhere.

"I remember he has a cousin working at Xingyao Group, perhaps?"

"Not really possible, he also has a cousin who isn’t even an entry-level martial artist yet, but maybe he got some genetic potion from somewhere, thus awakening his potential."

Ma Yong speculated, but was quickly refuted by Yang Liru.

The two were willing to believe Zhang Lingfeng gained his current strength by taking genetic potion and awakening potential, otherwise how could there be such change in just half a month.

The nearby martial arts students looked a bit better upon hearing this, but inside they were filled with jealousy and disdain toward Zhang Lingfeng, along with other complex thoughts.

"Congratulations on winning four consecutive ranking matches, with a total prize of forty thousand yuan."

In the matchmaking state, Zhang Lingfeng once again heard the broadcast from the Star Realm System.

The prize money unexpectedly doubled.

Obviously, defeating an Inner Ring City martial arts student with a combat power of 18.5 had a very high difficulty coefficient; otherwise, the prize money wouldn’t have doubled.

Taking this opportunity, Zhang Lingfeng also checked the information on the panel.

Name: Zhang Lingfeng

Life Chart: Coast Along

Profession: Entry-level Martial Artist

Combat Power: 18.3

Coasting Along Value: 3

Basic Spear Skill Thirteen Forms: Perfection (100/100)

Tidal Breathing Method: Entry Level (77/100)

Ability: All-weather breathing and exhaling ability, randomly increase arm strength by two hundred kilograms, faster than others

With the reawakening of three Qi sensations and the merging trend of eight Qi sensations, Zhang Lingfeng’s combat power also changed again.

It surprisingly reached 18.3.

"Fusion can lead to power transformation, if all eight Qi sensations merge, perhaps my combat power can approach 20.0."

Zhang Lingfeng murmured to himself.

He knows that awakening Qi sensation is the first hurdle in practicing breathing techniques, and merging Qi sensations is the watershed in cultivation.

Only by merging Qi sensations and continually strengthening them can one become a true Elemental Martial Artist.

Under the all-weather breathing and exhaling ability, awakening and merging Qi sensations is clearly much faster and simpler for him than for ordinary people.

At this time, the matchmaking ended, and Zhang Lingfeng and his opponent’s figures appeared again in the live broadcast room.
