The end of Gaowu: Becoming stronger from not practicing

Chapter 74: Battle with the Catfish King

Not only did Zhuge Hou notice the change in Zhang Lingfeng's spearmanship, but Di Yang, Qin Dada, and several other elders also captured Zhang Lingfeng's extraordinary spearmanship attainments from his last two shots.

Suddenly, I realized that it was not that Zhang Lingfeng was unable to resolve the battle quickly, but that he chose a safer and easier way to resolve the catfish monster.

Because a catfish demon king with a combat power value of 24.0 suddenly appeared, they were forced to change their plan and quickly resolve the battle at the cost of consuming more strength.

"Won again."

"That's a 23.0 catfish monster."

Compared to the incredible reactions of Zhuge Hou and others in the Inner Ring City Observation Room, in the Outer Ring City Observation Room, both the representatives from No. 9 Middle School and Zhengxing were in an uproar.

Apparently, they didn't expect that Zhang Lingfeng could deal with the 23.0 catfish monster. Although it took a longer time, he won in the end. After thinking about it carefully, they found that although Zhang Lingfeng won more slowly, he consumed less strength and took less risks.

In a trance, people also realized that Zhang Lingfeng was not incapable of winning the battle quickly, but that he took the initiative to choose a safer way to end the battle.

"Mom, can you tell Zhang Lingfeng's combat power?"

Chen Duling couldn't help but ask.

"I can't tell for the moment."

Only at this moment did Huang Ling realize that Zhang Lingfeng had not been using his full strength.

"If this guy can listen to my advice and practice with me, his future prospects will be unimaginable."

Wang Dashan couldn't help but sigh.

"Perhaps he simply looks down on us, otherwise he wouldn't be so resistant to cultivation."

Hong Lixin realized it later.

After witnessing the changes in Zhang Lingfeng's strength with his own eyes, he suddenly realized that Zhang Lingfeng's refusal to cooperate with him in cultivation might not be a problem of attitude or cognition, but that he simply looked down on them.

Wang Dashan was stunned. For some reason, he felt that Hong Lixin's sentiments seemed to make sense.

But he felt a little dissatisfied in his heart.

No matter what, he is an existence that surpasses Yuanwuzhe. Even in the Inner Ring City, he can compete for the position of principal. Why does Zhang Lingfeng look down on him?

After all, it was because I hid myself too deeply and did not show enough strength to Zhang Lingfeng, which made Zhang Lingfeng mistakenly think that I was the same as the principals of other schools in Outer Ring City, so he looked down on me.

"Gah!"

In the sewer.

The catfish king quickly locked onto Corning's figure.

It is more than three meters tall, with its fins evolved into arms. Holding a steel fork and a hammer, it rushes towards Corning quickly with almost weird movements.

Corning was ready.

The demon-slaying sword technique quickly broke out, and the potential power in the whole body was about to burst out. The energy and potential were added to the sword technique at the same time, as well as the physical fitness and strength, and released without any residue.

He chopped at the catfish king several times in a row, but unfortunately they were all blocked by the catfish king's steel fork and hammer.

As a small demon king with a combat power value of 24.0, it already possesses a certain degree of intelligence. In order to avoid being attacked from both sides by Zhang Lingfeng and Kang Ning, it approached Kang Ning, and after a few moves, it quickly flashed behind Kang Ning.

Then the steel fork and the hammer poured towards Corning at the same time, accompanied by splashing mucus, trying to use the weapons at hand to smash Corning's body, or use the mucus to invade Corning's nostrils, mouth and even eyeballs, causing Corning to die from the poison.

Generally speaking, when humans are clearing out catfish monsters, they will wear gas masks and nano-battle suits to avoid being contaminated by venom, while also strengthening their physical defenses.

However, in this simulated assessment, neither Zhang Lingfeng nor Kang Ning wore such equipment. Therefore, under the interference of the mucus, Kang Ning's attack and defense seemed to be restricted in various ways. At the beginning, he could still use his potential power to burst out and fight the catfish king on equal terms, and there was even a possibility of suppressing him.

But as the Catfish Demon King adapted to that power and understood his attack rhythm, the combat power value that was 0.9 higher than his quickly showed its advantage.

"Ding."

The people in the observation room quickly saw that Corning had changed from attacking all the way to attacking and defending at the same time, and finally lost the possibility of attacking and could only retreat and defend continuously. Finally, the Catfish Demon King caught Corning's flaw.

The iron hammer seemed to break through Corning's swordsmanship and smashed into Corning's chest. At the critical moment, Corning's potential power broke out. He used his strength advantage to temporarily slow down the attack speed of the catfish king. At the last moment, the long sword and the iron hammer collided.

"boom!"

In the hasty collision, Corning's strength advantage was completely consumed, and his body flew back towards Zhang Lingfeng.

"Gah!"

The catfish king took advantage of the victory and threw the steel fork quickly towards Corning's chest.

Corning looked desperate.

He finally realized that his combat power of 24.0 was too weak in front of the Catfish King with a combat power of 23.1, even with the blessing of potential strength.

Fortunately, this was just a mock test and my life was not in danger.

Sadly, Zhang Lingfeng actually held on to the end. Of course, he could not defeat the Catfish Demon King. Both of them were losers in this assessment.

"Ding!"

However, just as Corning was ready to disappear, a silver spear suddenly stabbed from behind, directly knocking away the steel fork that was about to pierce his chest.

At the same time, a figure leaped over his head and swept across with a spear.

Just listen.

clang.

clang.

clang.

Three loud noises were heard.

Corning couldn't believe it when he saw that the catfish king, whose combat power value reached 24.0, was actually swept back three times in a row by the figure in front of him.

And that person was none other than Zhang Lingfeng, whom he didn't care about at all.

"Buzz!"

With three consecutive shots, Zhang Lingfeng blocked the offensive trend of the Catfish Demon King and even repelled it. Then he took advantage of the victory and unleashed the Thirteen Styles of Spear Skill to the extreme, exerting his control over the minor success realm to the extreme.

The ordinary thirteen styles of gun skills seemed to be crowned with a layer of divine light, and in the dark sewer, the hot and cold light of the gun shadow burst out.

Compared with his previous more cautious fighting style, Zhang Lingfeng was more aggressive this time. He wanted to pour out all his strength and quickly end the battle.

Because according to the information, once the catfish monster's fins evolve into complete arms, its recovery ability and endurance will be stronger than those of human warriors of the same level.

His physical fitness is also far superior to that of human warriors of the same level.

Their combat power is formed solely through the transformation of their physical fitness, unlike humans who form it through the burst of skills and potential, and the stimulation of qi and blood through exercises.

There is an essential difference between the two.

The stronger the physical fitness, the stronger the recovery ability and endurance of combat power.

So when facing the Catfish Demon King, Zhang Lingfeng had to change his strategy. He not only fully displayed the power of the transformation of his skills to the minor success level, but also made the ordinary basic thirteen styles of spearmanship seem to be covered with a layer of divine light.

He also added all the advantages of his arm strength and super speed to his marksmanship.

For a moment, the shadow of Zhang Lingfeng's gun spread all over the sewer, as if completely covering the Catfish Demon King. As the Catfish Demon King retreated, bursts of blood flew out from his body.
