CHAPTER 71: CHAPTER 70: TELEKINESIS, RAIN BOILING

Perseverance! Intelligence! Physical Strength!

If you lack in any of these aspects, it’s absolutely impossible to make great strides in Black Rock Martial Arts!

But...

If he can deceive those Second Rank silver medalists from Qinglian Academy, Ma Ran must have some real skills.

Zhu Hanyi specifically came to Grass Hut Academy with three missions.

First, he took on the president’s task, bringing a lot of Black Rock Martial Arts-related materials, specifically to exchange and learn about Inner Qi cultivation experiences, and strengthen the connection between Qinglian and Grass Hut.

Second, Zhu Hanyi’s Spiritual Will has reached the standard line for Superpower Awakening, and even exceeded it, so he came to Grass Hut Academy to use the Shengyu Stone Well to awaken his superpower.

Third, he wanted to give Ma Ran a wake-up call to put his intelligence and talent on the right track, and stop being deceptive, which could hinder his own future!

Let’s not talk about the first two for now.

Is the third considered well-intentioned?

At least Zhu Hanyi thinks so himself.

Thinking this, he looked towards Su Qiangwei nearby.

I heard this person holds the National Guardian-level ability [Myriad Transformations], capable of freely copying other people’s superpowers.

The most frightening part is that when Su Qiangwei copies others’ abilities, it seems to require no time and costs nothing.

The "Superpower Erosion" that happened to her just means reduced fat.

Sounds like a joke!

Unfortunately, Zhu Hanyi doesn’t hit women, otherwise, he could have had a spar with her for a warm-up.

While Ma Ran is also National Guardian level, and involves the Time Domain in his superpower, the [Limited Foreknowledge] seems more like an auxiliary and strategic type, with no substantial help in improving combat power.

Zhu Hanyi shook his head, preparing to go to the president’s office to find Huang Weiguo to complete the Black Rock Martial Arts data handover, when suddenly he heard an enchanting female voice next to his ear.

This voice was as clear and crisp as a yellow warbler, with a bit of youthful charm, very infectious.

Just hearing this voice could turn up the corners of one’s mouth if the words were not delved into deeper.

"Don’t make me sick, do you even deserve to compare with Ma Ran?"

"You look average, so don’t think too highly of yourself."

"Is it really that hard to admit you’re an idiot?"

"Compared to that guy, I feel like a fool too."

Zhu Hanyi followed the voice and saw Su Qiangwei looking at him provocatively.

I must admit, there are always a few people who have it coming.

Regardless of gender.

He might break his rule today.

Thinking this, Zhu Hanyi’s eyes sharpened, staring unblinkingly at Su Qiangwei.

At this moment, he saw no male or female, only a sparring partner for the sword.

Inner Qi circulated around Zhu Hanyi’s body, and his Eight-sided Han Sword seemed to be slowly drawn out by an invisible hand, gently falling into his palm.

This method startled everyone present.

"A superpower?"

"No, it should be a special usage method of Inner Qi Release!"

"Aside from looking cool, it’s quite useless."

Wan Haihao, who had been vigilantly watching the alien residing in his body, Lin Qiubai, was also attracted by Zhu Hanyi’s move.

He murmured softly, "Impressive!"

Just as the words fell, the disdainful voice of Sword Master Lin Qiubai echoed in Wan Haihao’s mind: "To draw the sword, he wasted at least a third of his Inner Qi."

"All show, no substance."

Wan Haihao pretended to be deaf, ignoring these words.

No matter how Lin Qiubai belittled Zhu Hanyi, at least his style was really high right now!

Handsome, indeed handsome!

Cyan Robed Swordsman, long hair flowing.

The sword was sharpened, its blade shimmering with mysterious light, the spine coated with a layer of blue, with an ethereal image of a lotus in the rain appearing and disappearing on the sword body, intricately crafted.

The whole sword and the one holding it seemed flawless.

The most criticized part of the Eight-sided Han Sword among cold weapon enthusiasts is the odd-to-ratio of the blade and handle, if made too thick, the balance becomes hard to control, but if forged too thin, it easily breaks, or wears down.

For Inner Qi cultivators with more strength, endurance, and nerve reflex speed, such a sword design can actually inflict greater damage, with more unpredictable moves.

"The sword is named ’Rain Boiling’."

Zhu Hanyi looked at the Eight-sided Han Sword in his hand with reverence, saying solemnly, "The sword is three feet three inches long, weighs twenty-three pounds, made of titanium-chromium alloy, and has not tasted blood yet."

"I won’t rely on my Realm to overpower you, only using the Second Rank of Inner Qi... Puff!"

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Hanyi spat out a mouthful of blood.

He knelt on one knee, barely supporting his body with the sword.

Feeling the bloody taste spreading in his mouth, he pressed his left hand on his stomach, looking pained.

After a moment, Zhu Hanyi gritted his teeth and struggled to lift his head.

He waved his hand to quiet the indignant and disgruntled Qinglian Academy members around him.

Zhu Hanyi looked at Su Qiangwei, an unyielding glint in his dark eyes: "What did you do?"

Su Qiangwei slowly retracted the punched-out right fist, holding a red apple in her left hand, munching away.

The sweet apple juice burst in her mouth, and the girl squinted her eyes, answering indistinctly: "Pillar Level superpower, [Telekinesis]."

Damn, such air!

Zhu Hanyi was so angry he almost swore aloud.

The [Telekinesis] ability user from Yingchuan Academy was his childhood friend.

So...

Zhu Hanyi had seen it many times! This ability, only useful to move small objects like candles, blackboard erasers, mobile phones, would cause a nosebleed after a few uses, necessitating a visit to the infirmary for blood transfusion—how could it be wielded like this sharp-tongued girl?

Su Qiangwei ignored Zhu Hanyi’s reaction and continued: "This ability comes in handy during snowball fights!"

She flicked her hand, and the half-eaten apple hovered in the air.

Meanwhile, the Eight-sided Han Sword "Rain Boiling" in Zhu Hanyi’s hand floated into the air, as if pulled by a giant force, drifting to Su Qiangwei’s side.

"Oh, a senior from Qinglian Academy!"

Su Qiangwei waved her finger cheerfully, the long sword dancing wildly in the air: "If I wanted to kill you, you’d be a corpse by now."

"So..."

"Will you admit defeat?"

Zhu Hanyi’s overall ability isn’t weak!

Su Qiangwei also took some shortcuts.

If Zhu Hanyi hadn’t acted presumptuously by bragging madly before the fight, to defeat him, Su Qiangwei would need at least five rounds.

After all, she hasn’t yet managed to master all the copied superpowers proficiently.

Kneeling downtrodden, Zhu Hanyi tried desperately to activate his acupoints, letting inner breath circulate within before barely standing up.

He spat out a bloody phlegm, wiped off the leftover blood on his mouth corner, and said solemnly, "I am not your match."

"That move just now..."

"You used [Telekinesis] to bypass the skin, fat, bones, and inner qi defenses, and directly attacked my organs, right?"

"Fantastical imagination..."

"Ingenious ability application..."

"Respect!"

No need to find any excuses.

About Su Qiangwei having superpowers, while Zhu Hanyi doesn’t.

Such an excuse would make Zhu Hanyi himself feel nauseated.

In meticulous calculation, he accessed Black Rock Martial Arts earlier than Su Qiangwei!

If this sharp-tongued girl, started cultivating Inner Qi at the same time as him, she might have reached the Third Rank of Inner Qi by now, right?

The outcome has been decided...

"Oh?"

Su Qiangwei raised an eyebrow, clapped her hands, and the Eight-sided Han Sword "Rain Boiling" drew a beautiful arc in the air, landing back in Zhu Hanyi’s hand.

"A fair loss, at least you have some backbone."

"In that case..."

"Here’s a piece of advice for you!"

Zhu Hanyi clasped his sword in both hands, bowing to Su Qiangwei, solemnly: "Willing to learn!"

Su Qiangwei glanced at him appreciatively, raising one finger: "One second!"

"?"

Zhu Hanyi was bewildered.

The girl sighed, quickly finishing off the remaining half of the apple, speaking softly: "That guy Ma Ran only needs one second to shatter you."

"So, don’t go looking for trouble, chill and go cool off."
