CHAPTER 56: CHAPTER 56: SPEED POTENTIAL

During the match, Ling Feng once again allocated 20 points to the Intermediate Thirteen Forms of Spear Skill.

The panel information changed again.

Name: Ling Feng

Life Chart: Coasting Along

Profession: Elemental Martial Artist

Combat Power: 20.6

Physical Fitness: 0.8177

Coasting Along Value: None

Intermediate Thirteen Forms of Spear Skill: Skilled (27/100)

Tidal Breathing Method: Entry Level (91/100)

Ability: All-weather Breathing and Exhaling Ability, arm can increase by 200 kilograms of power at any level, faster than others

Ling Feng discovered that as his mastery of the Intermediate Thirteen Forms of Spear Skill became more proficient, his combat power increased by 0.4, and his physical fitness exhibited several decimal places thanks to the all-weather breathing and exhaling ability. Reaching a value of 1 is within reach.

Meanwhile, his opponent in front of him had a combat power of only 20.3.

At the same time, people saw the number above Ling Feng’s head change from 19.5 to a striking red value of 20.1.

This means the Star Realm System has judged Ling Feng’s combat power to have reached the Elemental Martial Artist level.

This precisely illustrates that Ling Feng has reached a new height in mastery over the transformed spear skills, otherwise his combat power wouldn’t have changed so drastically.

Bear in mind his Qi Sensitivity has consistently been eight paths.

"20.1!"

Teng Qingshan’s eyelids twitched.

Ling Feng unexpectedly surpassed the Elemental Martial Artist level through the transformation of spear skills, completely outmatching him in every aspect.

"This child is naturally a seed for cultivating spear skills. No matter who enrolls him, they must ensure he is well cared for, giving him the best cultivation resource subsidy. We cannot allow this child to fall behind those with awakened potential due to a lack of resources."

Marquis Zhuge demanded.

In his view, Ling Feng was already like his closed-door disciple. He would wholeheartedly mentor him to glorify the Life-taking Linked Spear.

Anyone who dares to be stingy with cultivation resources for Ling Feng is challenging Marquis Zhuge.

As such, Qin Dada and Di Yang also regarded Ling Feng with more respect. If Ling Feng merely cultivated his spear skills to the point of transformation, it might be overlooked, but with Marquis Zhuge’s endorsement, even the two deans have to take him seriously without the slightest neglect.

This is the influence of a Master of Gun Technique.

Ling Feng’s opponent this time was a young woman, also a Martial Dao student from the Inner Ring City. As soon as she appeared, Chen Duling was startled.

The woman’s name was Ye Xuan.

She was a student at Zhengxing High School in the Inner Ring City. Like Ling Feng, she was a third-year Martial Dao student. Two months ago, Ye Xuan was still an unknown in the Inner Ring City. Then her potential awakened, with the inspector being Chen Duling’s mother, Huang Ling.

Ye Xuan’s awakened potential was speed, "Electric Sparks."

Now this potential was nearly fully awakened by Ye Xuan. Huang Ling asserted that Ye Xuan might become the fastest Martial Dao student in South City.

Moreover, this speed potential can enhance skills and body technique. For a time, Ye Xuan was renowned throughout Inner Ring City and obtained a guaranteed spot at Starry Sky University, with a Double S-Class contract.

No one expected Ling Feng to be matched against her.

Chen Duling, Huang Ling, as well as Qin Dada and Di Yang were quite surprised.

"How can it be such a coincidence?"

Marquis Zhuge frowned.

He had also paid attention to Ye Xuan, attempting to accept her as a direct disciple, but Ye Xuan showed no interest in spear skills.

Otherwise, under the enhancement of the speed potential "Electric Sparks," the Life-taking Linked Spear could have increased its power exponentially, potentially creating various miracles.

"Please!"

Ye Xuan also trained in Intermediate skills, Chang Chun Swordsmanship. Seeing her match against an Outer Ring City Martial Dao student, she didn’t underestimate him in the slightest.

She knew that anyone matched against her had formidable strength.

"Please!"

Ling Feng also made a gesture of respect.

Though Outer Ring City students are not entirely familiar with some prodigies from Inner Ring City, a Martial Dao student with a combat power of 20.3 would never be taken lightly.

Ling Feng dared not let his guard down.

His intuition told him that Ye Xuan’s combat power might not be as simple as the Star Realm System suggests.

After exchanging pleasantries, Ye Xuan moved, and Ling Feng felt a cold gleam striking toward his brow. Under the enhancement of speed potential, "Electric Sparks," it seemed as though Ye Xuan had undergone a transformation in Chang Chun Swordsmanship.

Once awakened, potential strengthens over time until it fully explodes.

Ye Xuan’s potential was in a constant state of amplification, with her combat power ever-changing.

Ling Feng sensed that although his combat power exceeded Ye Xuan’s by 0.3, both his attack speed and movement speed seemed faster than his combat power’s reactive speed.

"Clang!"

Luckily, he had an advantage in strength, faster than others.

The long spear swept across, its tip blocking Ye Xuan’s sword’s edge.

Ye Xuan paused.

Clearly, she hadn’t expected Ling Feng to intercept her sword strike.

She had participated in five ranking matches today, and no opponent had been able to withstand her sword strikes. With her potential’s enhancement, she believed that even if the opponent’s combat power exceeded hers by several points, they couldn’t possibly rival her.

Originally, she thought this sixth ranking match would be against an opponent with a combat power above 20.5, but unexpectedly it was 20.1 Ling Feng, and it was still a red value.

Despite having no internal disdain.

Upon witnessing her sword blocked by Ling Feng’s spear, she was utterly surprised.

Simultaneously, Ling Feng quickly launched a counterattack.

With the advantage of arm strength, he not only blocked Ye Xuan’s sword but also swung her sword aside. With the transformation of the spear skills coupled with the strength faster than others, his speed seemed to match Ye Xuan’s swordsmanship.

"Clang!"

Back and forth they went.

Ling Feng exploded with full force, unleashing the entirety of the Thirteen Forms skill in an all-or-nothing attempt to take down Ye Xuan.

Usually composed, Ye Xuan’s expression gradually became animated, momentarily believing Ling Feng had also awakened speed potential, only to realize upon seeing Ling Feng wield his basic spear skills with extraordinary finesse that this was an evolution in spear skills.

Yet why are the transformed spear skills so quick?

If not for her own awakened speed potential "Electric Sparks," even if her combat power exceeded 20.5, she might still not be Ling Feng’s match.

As a Martial Dao student from Inner Ring City with a Double S-Class guaranteed contract from Starry Sky University, she had never imagined an Outer Ring City Martial Dao student at the same level could keep up with her in speed and technique.

But ultimately, the advantage still lay with the speed potential.

The speed of "Electric Sparks" far exceeded "faster than others."

Initially, Ling Feng was able to keep pace with Ye Xuan, primarily due to the transformation of spear skills and his arm strength advantage. After failing to best Ye Xuan in one round of fierce attack, Ye Xuan quickly found his flaws and mastered his attack rhythm, allowing her to utilize speed to break through Ling Feng’s defense.

Ling Feng only felt the sword light slicing straight at him, and just as he was about to resist, the sword light suddenly shifted, cutting horizontally toward his neck. Then he felt his figure disappear from the Star Realm, returning to the small room on the balcony of the West Warehouse District.

"What a quick woman."

"Even with my combat power surpassing hers, I’m not her match."

Ling Feng touched his neck, exhilarated by the battle. He had unleashed all his spear skills, power, and speed, yet in the end, he still lost to Ye Xuan.

How remarkable can potential awakening be?

Of course, this was partly because Ye Xuan’s awakening was in speed.

Nonetheless, having won five matches in a row and earning 200,000 yuan prize money, Ling Feng was already satisfied.

He didn’t ponder why Ye Xuan was so fast but quickly opened the Angry Little Ya account page, watching Angry Little Ya live-stream monster fights using a Planted Muscle Arm. This was his daily coasting along course.

Treating participation in ranking matches as a perfunctory task rather than a learning and skill improvement opportunity, with no post-match summary or reflection.
