This martial saint's health bar is too thick

Chapter 617 Picking Flowers at Dawn, First in History
Sangji finally secured the first victory for the Great Blue Dynasty.

It's not just about defeating a stronger opponent by crossing a major realm; it's also about successfully breaking through to a higher realm after the victory.

This is absolutely murderous and morally reprehensible!

When Sangji returned to the 'Mirage', Chaganbayar was the first to applaud him and give him a thumbs up.

"Sanchi, well done!"

Chaganbayar shouted loudly in the grassland language.

Sangji gave a shy smile.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
Li Fei turned around and applauded for Sangji.

With him taking the lead, the others also began to applaud.

Even Zhao Jingfeng, who disliked the grassland people intensely, had to applaud Sangji at this moment.

Because the opposing team secured a valuable point for the Great Blue Dynasty, halting their losing streak and salvaging the situation and boosting morale.

Who will play in the next match?

After a brief celebration, Li Fei continued to ask questions.

The Blue Dynasty won the last match, so they need to send someone first in the next match.

"Duke, I do!"

"I do too!"

"I!"

Three people raised their hands at the same time.

There are elite university students, scions of prominent families, and disciples of major sects.

Li Fei chose the disciple from the major sect who raised his hand the fastest to go on stage, and the duel continued.

The ninth, tenth, and eleventh matches.
Perhaps it was because Sangji's example of defeating the strong with the weak inspired everyone, and after watching so many battles, everyone had a pretty good understanding of the Northern Barbarian warriors' methods, since the Northern Barbarians' martial arts foundation was far inferior to that of the Central Plains.

Next, the Blue Dynasty's winning percentage finally began to improve.

After seventeen matches involving players aged 25 and under, the Northern Barbarians won eleven matches, while the Great Blue Dynasty won six.

The score was 11:6.

With the Great Blue Dynasty trailing by 5 points, it means that in the upcoming matchups between players aged 35 and under, the Great Blue Dynasty cannot allow the point difference to exceed 9 points, otherwise the Northern Barbarians will 'kill the game' in advance.

Even if they win the final battle of the army formation, their total score will still be lower than that of the Northern Barbarians.

Who will play in the next match?

Li Fei asked calmly as always.

"General, I'll do it!"

Zhao Jingfeng had been patient for a long time.

He is thirty-five years old this year, just at the threshold of the age limit for the competition.

At the age of thirty-five, he reached the seventh level of the Dao Foundation stage, incorporated the five elements into his body, and stimulated four core-level extraordinary abilities.

He honed his skills in the military for many years and repeatedly distinguished himself in battle.

Unlike the young geniuses who just took the stage, Zhao Jingfeng is a mature warrior who has experienced many trials and tribulations.

Being ranked ninth on the Popularity Ranking is the best testament to his strength!

"Okay, go ahead."

Li Fei nodded in agreement.

Now it's the second round of the competition. According to the pre-arranged rules, the Blue Dynasty will send out its representatives first, and the outcome of the competition will determine who sends out their representatives first.

Without Li Fei needing to use magic to lift him up, Zhao Jingfeng jumped directly off the 'Mirage'.

At a height of 100 meters, Zhao Jingfeng's momentum was already astonishing as he was about to land!

He calmly stomped his foot on the ground, and a crimson force transformed into a fire dragon, roaring as it charged towards the earth.

Boom——

Smoke and dust billowed into the sky, leaving a crater in the ground.

Zhao Jingfeng jumped from a height of 100 meters and landed steadily.

This move undoubtedly revealed a portion of their strength in advance.

But Zhao Jingfeng didn't care.

He gripped his sword, his imposing aura undisguised, and looked arrogantly at the northern barbarian camp ahead:

“Who’s coming?!”

In the northern barbarian lands, among the strong individuals aged thirty-five and under, there are certainly martial arts masters, but their numbers are extremely small.

If the Northern Barbarians choose to send a martial arts master to the stage, Zhao Jingfeng will undoubtedly lose.

He hasn't reached the point where he can transcend major realms yet.

But if he could replace a martial arts master from the Northern Barbarians, Zhao Jingfeng felt it was worth it.

Soon, the Northern Barbarians sent their own representatives.

Zhao Jingfeng frowned.

The newcomer was also at the Dao Foundation stage, but judging from his aura, he had not even incorporated all five elements into his body.

"You look down on me?"

Enraged, Zhao Jingfeng drew his sword and charged forward.

The two sides collided like meteors, escalating the pace of the battle to its extreme from the very beginning!

However, his opponent was inferior to Zhao Jingfeng in every aspect, from cultivation level and martial arts skills to combat experience, and quickly fell into a disadvantageous position.

Even until his defeat, this Tudu warrior from the Northern Barbarians did not use his beast form.

The Blue Dynasty scores another point!
"Why didn't you use your beast form? Did you lose your guts?"

Zhao Jingfeng's fatal strike was blocked by a martial arts master on the other side using supernatural powers, who then conceded defeat on behalf of his own warrior.

Unable to force his opponent to use their strongest moves, he sarcastically shouted at the Northern Barbarian camp opposite him.

There was silence on the other end; there was no response.

Zhao Jingfeng spat and turned back, somewhat bored.

On the 'Mirage', Li Fei was not surprised by this.

In terms of both the quantity and quality of young geniuses, the Northern Barbarians are certainly inferior to the Great Blue Dynasty.

The only way to contend with the Great Blue Dynasty is through beastification.

But turning into a beast means completely destroying a genius.

If the Northern Barbarians were to deliberately destroy a large number of their own geniuses in order to win this Alliance of the Wild Gods, they would undoubtedly be digging their own grave!

Sacrifice some chips for a one in ten thousand chance.

This is the best the weak can do when they have no other choice.

But if you're betting everything just for a one in ten thousand chance...

That's brainless!
Even if a martial artist in the Qi Transformation stage sacrifices some parts, it won't be a serious injury.

However, warriors who can reach the Dao Foundation stage before the age of thirty-five are all true geniuses.

They are also the 'seeds' that have the potential to become martial arts masters or even grandmasters in the future!
These are the people who can truly influence the future of the Northern Barbarians.

The Northern Barbarians would never sacrifice these people.

Li Fei even speculated that none of the most talented warriors under the age of twenty-five from the Northern Barbarians had participated in this Wild God Alliance.

In the first round of the competition, use the beast form to score as many points as possible and widen the score gap.

In the second round, we'll try to score as many points as we can.

If there's an opportunity to 'kill the game' early, then it's worth sacrificing one or two talented players to try and win.

If all else fails, the final battle between the armies still offers a glimmer of hope.

This is the tactic of the Northern Barbarians in this Alliance of Wild Gods, and it is not much different from the one that Emperor Taizu participated in back then.

Before arriving, Li Fei had thoroughly researched the historical records, so he had anticipated how the Northern Barbarians would fight.

Although he told Li Tianyu that if he lost this duel, he lost.

But the Great Blue Dynasty certainly didn't come here seeking defeat by holding such a grand alliance of the Wild Gods.

It was because Li Fei was very confident of victory that he forced the Northern Barbarians to restart the Alliance of the Wild Gods!

Compared to more than 500 years ago, the power of the Great Blue Dynasty was definitely much weaker.

However, martial arts and techniques have been constantly evolving, and various records in the cultivation world have been continuously broken.

Therefore, in terms of the strength of the younger generation, the current Great Blue Dynasty is much stronger than it was more than 500 years ago!
Although the Northern Barbarians were also making progress, their progress was slower than that of the Central Plains due to limitations in resources and cultural foundation.

Even the Great Blue Dynasty, more than 500 years ago, was able to win against the Alliance of the Wild Gods.

There's no reason why the current Blue Dynasty can't win!

The Northern Barbarians will have to fight hard for this victory with blood and sacrifice, in a precarious situation.

The Great Blue Dynasty only needs to proceed step by step and steadily to have a high chance of winning!
Zhao Jingfeng won the first match cleanly and decisively, and then—

In the second game, the Blue team won!

In the third game, the Blue team won!

In the fourth game, the Blue team won!

The Northern Barbarians' 5-point lead was thus narrowed to just 1 point.

The roles have been reversed, and now the people on the Northern Barbarian side have solemn expressions.

"I'll take the next round."

Before Li Fei could even ask a question, someone spoke up.

Wang Fengqing, dressed in a light white martial arts uniform, spoke to Li Fei with a hint of eagerness.

Li Fei met her gaze and saw the determination and expectation in her eyes, so he nodded in agreement.

If the Northern Barbarians still want to win this duel, they will most likely send out a martial arts master to turn the tide in the next match!
Therefore, the best option at this time is to send a relatively weaker player in the Dao Foundation stage to "exchange pieces," with an inferior player facing a superior player.

If we send someone like Wang Fengqing, who is at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage and is ranked number one on the Human Ranking, to participate.

That would force the other side to send a martial arts master to take action.

The martial arts masters of the Northern Barbarians may not be able to defeat the martial arts masters of the Great Blue Dynasty, but if they can use their martial arts masters to defeat the strongest Dao Foundation stage cultivators of the Great Blue Dynasty, they can secure a point.

It is undoubtedly the best choice.

Li Fei and Wang Fengqing exchanged a glance, knowing that the other had definitely thought of this. But Wang Fengqing still insisted on going on stage, and Li Fei was unwilling to stop her.

Wang Fengqing also jumped directly off the 'mirage'.

Unlike Zhao Jingfeng's grand entrance, she was like an elegant butterfly, rising with the wind and landing lightly on the ground.

As expected, seeing that Wang Fengqing was about to make his appearance, the Northern Barbarians promptly dispatched their martial arts master—

Nomuwu Mountain.

He is thirty-five years old this year and has just broken through to become a martial arts master.

He is the pride of the Fire Kirin Clan, and now the Fire Kirin Clan's greatest hope after losing their own Great Elder.

Nomu Wushan stared at the woman in white ahead, his eyes filled with malice.

He knew that the other party was the strongest Dao Foundation stage cultivator in the Great Blue Dynasty, and even in the entire world.

If possible, he wanted to kill Wang Fengqing in the next duel, so that the Central Plains would lose a peerless genius!
The curtain of the duel was raised in silence as they gathered their strength.

Wang Fengqing did not rush to attack. She stood calmly, her long sword pointing diagonally at the ground. A powerful and imposing aura rose from her body, as if a solitary peak was rising from the ground.

Visible earth-yellow energy, as if attracted by a magnet, continuously flowed into her body from beneath her feet, causing the ground beneath her to tremble slightly and emit a low hum.

This is the core-level extraordinary ability of the earth-attribute implant [Dust Mountain] - Ascending to the Peak!
Rooted in the earth, it continuously draws upon the power of the earth's veins to temper its muscles and bones, amplifying the pure power and abundant strength contained in every inch of Wang Fengqing's muscles.

Of course, Nuomu Wushan would not allow Wang Fengqing to accumulate power. A glint flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly exerted force with his feet.

The air was instantly compressed and exploded, emitting a sharp and piercing shriek. Nuomu Wushan transformed into a blurry red afterimage. His speed was so fast that most of the Qi Transformation stage martial artists present only felt a blur before their eyes, and he had already disappeared from their sight.

They weren't even qualified to watch!
The next instant, a scorching wave of air rushed towards them, and Nuomu Wushan had already teleported close to Wang Fengqing!

At the critical moment, Wang Fengqing's skin suddenly shone with a warm yet resilient jade-like luster, like a female warrior carved from the finest jade, exuding an explosive sense of power.

This is the 'super armor' effect brought about by the [steel armor] implant.

At this moment, the immense power of the earth veins accumulated by 'Ascending the Peak' and the ultimate defense granted by 'Overlord Body' have perfectly merged, forging this indestructible 'Jade Body'!
A fierce and violent flame suddenly erupted between the two of them without warning.

This flame was no ordinary fire; its color was a dark red like lava, carrying an aura of destruction capable of incinerating everything, like a volcano that had been dormant for millennia suddenly erupting. The soil within a hundred meters radius instantly turned black, crystallized, and even vitrified!

Even more terrifying was that the flames did not spread randomly, but formed terrifying spiraling pulling forces that swept in from all directions, as if countless burning giant pythons were coiling and strangling, instantly creating a scorching, suffocating inferno of flames from which there was nowhere to escape.

Dao Jin – [Crimson Flame Hell]!
Although the martial arts tradition of the Northern Barbarians is inferior to that of the Central Plains, Nuomu Wushan, as a martial arts master, has reached the realm of 'the unity of intention and the Dao'.

What would be a powerful move that requires a martial artist in the Foundation Establishment stage to exert all their strength and concentrate all their essence, energy, and spirit to unleash is nothing more than an ordinary attack that a martial arts master can execute effortlessly.

This is the insurmountable gap between different realms!
Facing this fiery cage that scorched the heavens and boiled the seas, Wang Fengqing's longsword rang out with a clear sound, and a powerful and vigorous blue energy surged out like a river bursting its banks.

The sword energy crisscrossed, initially like a trickle, but in an instant it converged into a torrent of rivers, finally condensing at the tip of the sword, transforming into a sea of ​​sword intent that surged and crashed against the shore!

"Splash—splash—"

The spectators seemed to hear the deafening roar of the ocean waves, and the damp air filled the air. It was as if they were no longer on a battlefield, but standing on a reef in a raging storm, watching as the towering waves, carrying immense force, crashed down on the scorching flames.

Dao Jin – [Raging Sea Tide]!
Wang Fengqing chose to use Daoist energy to counter Daoist energy, and water energy to counter fire energy.

In terms of sheer absolute strength, Wang Fengqing was undoubtedly at a disadvantage.

However, the result of the collision and annihilation of the two violent forces was that the [Crimson Flame Hell], which could burn the sky and boil the sea, was the first to be torn apart and collapsed!
Ruyi Dao Jin!

Although Nuomu Wushan's Daoist strength is strong, it is only at the initial stage of the 'Ruyi' realm. Its power is vast but lacks refinement.

Wang Fengqing's Daoist strength has reached the peak of the 'Ruyi' realm!

Every ounce of her strength was perfectly controlled and incredibly agile. The seemingly surging, turbulent sword energy actually concealed endless variations. Some of it was as concentrated as a needle tip, precisely piercing the weak points of the fiery vortex; some was like a supple ribbon, skillfully deflecting the scorching heat; and some transformed into spinning water drills, shredding the violent fire energy inch by inch.
With more precise control, Wang Fengqing used minimal force to break through the stronger cage of flames!

Despite being only at the Dao Foundation stage, his use of Dao energy surpasses that of most martial arts masters.

That's the real value of being number one on the list!
With his Daoist energy broken, Nuomu Wushan's eyes flashed with even greater ferocity, and he unhesitatingly unleashed his own divine power—

A tiny spark appeared without warning on Wang Fengqing's protective energy, and like igniting cotton, that spark instantly exploded into flames!

The protective energy surrounding Wang Fengqing became the perfect fuel, and the raging crimson-gold flames instantly engulfed her completely.

The flames seemed to have a life of their own, greedily licking and eroding every strand of energy, trying to burn it completely, and spreading towards her jade-like body!

Supernatural Power—[Burning Ashes]!
Everything can be burned, and everything will turn to ash!
The more one understands the properties of flammable substances, the stronger the power of ash and the more fiercely it burns.

Supernatural powers are the most insurmountable gap between martial arts masters and martial artists at the Dao Foundation stage!
How can someone without supernatural powers deal with an ability that surpasses all martial arts?
Just as the all-consuming ash was about to touch the "jade body," Wang Fengqing's internal energy suddenly changed.

The originally surging, gentle, and yin-attribute water energy instantly transformed into a vast, boundless, and vibrant wood-attribute energy.

A huge, half-real, half-illusory image of a towering ancient tree suddenly appeared behind her, its roots deeply embedded in the earth, its branches twisted like dragons, growing and stretching wildly in the face of the raging flames!
Countless new buds sprouted and bloomed in the flames, their emerald light stubbornly resisting the erosion of the crimson flames. Furthermore, a vibrant force of wood, like vines, coiled back towards Nomu Wushan!

Dao Jin - [All things are born]!
This is precisely the power of Wang Fengqing's top-tier Dao foundation, [Qinghua Linglong]. Its core wood-attribute energy possesses the ability to "generate" all things, can freely flow between the five elements, and can even give rise to special attributes.

At this moment, [All Things Grow] fully demonstrates this characteristic.

The combination of extreme changes in a short period of time and multiple forces is precisely the best way to counter the [Burning Ashes] supernatural power!
Nuomu Wushan's fists were wreathed in crimson flames, and the wind from his punches was like a volcanic eruption. Each strike carried the immense power to burn mountains and seas, attempting to tear apart this complex and ever-changing network of force with absolute power and speed, and to completely shatter and burn that exquisite jade body!
His leg techniques were equally fierce and violent, creating a burst of air and generating waves of fan-shaped fire when he swept them out.

Wang Fengqing moved with his sword, the sword light weaving like silk. His sword moves were sometimes like ancient vines coiling and endless; sometimes like a sudden storm, swift and unparalleled; and sometimes as immovable as a rock, firmly guarding the center.
She was like a piece of exquisite jade tempered in flames, delicate and ever-changing. She could always deflect, neutralize, and deflect Nomu Wushan's terrifying attacks, which were capable of destroying mountains, with the most exquisite changes in force and angles at the last minute.

Longswords and iron fists, force and flames, clashed fiercely in the small space. Each collision erupted with dazzling light and shockwaves, and the ground was continuously plowed, melted, and crystallized!
In the blink of an eye, the two sides had exchanged over a hundred blows.

He fought against a martial arts master for so long with his Dao Foundation stage cultivation, and he didn't seem to be at a disadvantage at all.

Wang Fengqing proved to everyone why Li Fei ranked her first on the list of people.

But that's not enough!
Just as their figures intersected and their forces collided to a peak, a very faint yet chilling crisp sound suddenly rang out from Wang Fengqing's flawless and incredibly resilient "jade body".

Click!

A tiny crack, like ice being struck, quietly appeared on her right shoulder blade, where she held the sword.

Immediately following, like a chain reaction, fine cracks spread rapidly, covering the entire body in the blink of an eye!

At this moment, Wang Fengqing was like a peerless jade artifact on the verge of shattering after being struck hard, full of tragic beauty and determination!
This was not due to the power of burning ashes, but rather something she did voluntarily.

Core-level extraordinary ability—Jade Shatter!
Inflict a thousand damages on the enemy, but also eight hundred on yourself. By sacrificing the temporary collapse of one's own "jade body," one can gain a burst of power far exceeding the limit in an instant!
Wang Fengqing also used this ability when he faced Gan Jingcheng of the Shangqing Sect at the National Martial Arts Tournament.

At that time, she used the "Jade Shattering" technique to forcefully activate a Daoist energy.

At that time, she had just received two implants and was still far from the peak of the Dao Foundation stage.

Now, she stands at the very top of the Dao Foundation stage.

The outcome of 'shattering jade' is naturally completely different—

boom! ! !
An indescribable, immense power was released with a deafening shattering sound. It was no longer a single attribute of force, but a fusion of the vast earth energy absorbed by [Peak Ascent], the boundless vitality generated by [Azure Splendor], and the primal potential stimulated by [Jade Shatter]. A vast and boundless "field" instantly replaced the battlefield, completely enveloping Mount Nuomuwu!

Wild grasses grew wildly, instantly transforming into a resilient, emerald-green ocean.

The young shoots broke through the soil and instantly grew into towering trees that blocked out the sky.

The rocks rise with a rumble, rising from the ground to form majestic mountains.

The streams meander and surge, converging into mighty rivers.
The vast primordial energy of heaven and earth continuously surged in from all directions.

This is not an illusion, but rather—a profound level Dao energy!

To cultivate Dao power with the foundation of Dao is already a rare talent, one in ten thousand.

Throughout history, fewer than thirty people have achieved the 'Ruyi' realm of Dao power with the cultivation level of the Foundation Stage!
To date, only Zhu Fenghua has achieved the level of Xuanjing Dao Jin with the cultivation level of the Dao Foundation stage.

Even Li Fei, who possessed the strongest Dao Foundation stage combat power in history, still couldn't achieve that.

'Peerless Beauty'—truly deserving of the title!

And now, this honor must be added to one more person's name—

Wang Fengqing!
The vast vitality merges with the endless changes of primordial energy between heaven and earth, forming a realm that is ever-renewing and self-contained.

Under the crushing force of heaven and earth, the flames and supernatural powers that Nomu Wushan was so proud of were submerged!

The [Burning Ash] supernatural power still surpasses the Xuanjing level Dao power, but it has been temporarily suppressed.

Before fully understanding the nature of this force, [Burning Ash] cannot ignite this 'field'.

For Nomu Wushan, it was far too difficult to quickly grasp the nature of this 'wilderness' before him!
Ultimately, they suffered from poor inheritance.

His imposing figure was bound by the surging grass and vines, suppressed by the towering mountains, and washed away by the raging rivers.
Boom——

Nuomu Wushan was sent flying like a cannonball, a bloody hole appearing in his chest!
Someone from the Northern Barbarian side caught him.

This young martial arts master has completely lost his fighting ability!

At the cost of 'shattering jade', Wang Fengqing defeated a martial arts master head-on!
It wasn't just the people from the Northern Barbarian side.

On the 'Mirage', everyone except Li Fei was also shocked as they looked down at the figure in white.

Before this, only Li Fei had ever defeated a martial arts master with his Dao Foundation stage cultivation.

Now there's another Wang Fengqing!

In the center of the still-unresolved 'field', a figure in white, wielding a sword, stands on the verge of shattering.

If her opponent could hold on a little longer, she would be the one to lose.

But in the end, she still won!

Wang Fengqing turned to look at the golden robe on the 'Mirage'.

Before Li Fei appeared, she was the most talented student at Wu'an University and even among all universities in the country, and the fastest to break through to the next realm!

At 21, he is at the Dao Foundation stage and has a good chance of breaking through to become a martial arts master before the age of 26, breaking the historical record.

Wang Fengqing was once the center of attention, shining brightly!

But what happened later
People only know Li Fei of Wu'an, but how many remember Wang Fengqing?
It's impossible to say that I don't care at all.

She is 27 years old this year. She could have broken through to become a martial arts master before the age of 26, just like Shen Tu Yue and Ning Chuan, or even faster than them, becoming the second in history!

But Shi Caiming told her that there was no need to rush to be the first.

So she put aside her pride and obsession and quietly honed her skills.

Today, she shines brightly once more, picking up what she once abandoned—

At the National Martial Arts Tournament, she used the "Jade Shattering" technique to unleash her Daoist power, but still failed to defeat Gan Jingcheng, and regrettably swallowed the bitter pill of defeat.

Today, she used the same "Jade Shattering" technique to unleash her power, and the martial arts master fell at her feet!
Zhu Fenghua's Xuanjing-level Dao Jin was cultivated by leveraging the advantage of the unity of magic and martial arts, and it cannot actually be considered the most 'pure' Xuanjing Dao Jin.

Wang Fengqing, on the other hand, did it purely through her martial arts cultivation!
In this respect, she is also the first in history!

On the 'mirage', Chaganbayar sensed the same 'fluctuation' as before.

At the same time, Li Fei once again "saw" that luck appeared out of thin air in the void and surged into Wang Fengqing's body.

Below, the white-clad woman's aura steadily increased.

The azure aura, like a divine tree supporting the sky, soared straight into the heavens!

If Sanji's previous breakthroughs were like a garden in full bloom, with a delightful fragrance...

At this moment, Wang Fengqing has brought an entire 'spring'—

A riot of colors, brimming with life.

Wang Fengqing successfully condensed supernatural powers and became a martial arts master!
