Cosmic Demon

Chapter 110: Flash, Surge, Combo Unlocked (Second Update!)
Fighting is fun!

The moment he killed his opponent, a large amount of white gas emerged from Qin Shi's body, which gathered into thick fog and drifted upwards.

He was like an overclocked computer; his brain reactions, power delivery, and movement speed all burst to their highest peaks in an instant.

The far-ahead mental power allowed the synchronization rate between the body and consciousness to reach almost 100%. This feeling of the body and mind being one and closely connected was extremely addictive.

It's as if the racer and the car form a whole, and the player and the character share attributes. The sense of immersion brought by it is far beyond the comparison of other martial arts students wearing helmets.

In short, it is probably that other people's operations have delays, but Qin Shi is a real-person online battle.

The subtle differences that exist in this, when magnified in the ever-changing battle, are enough to change the course of the battle.

"Today will be my day to rank up!"

The violent breathing slowed down, and the vitality in Qin Shi's body seemed to recede and return to normal.

If it was an offline battle, he would never be able to challenge ten people at once, but in the virtual fighting room, those martial arts students with leading vitality could not exert their full strength at all, and their apparent advantage was not that great.

[The Moon Walker exits the room]

[Red team number: nine]

It seemed as if a large firework exploded in the sky above the desert, and then clear and eye-catching words emerged.

"Huh, the fighter's progress has increased a lot, which should be enough for me to unlock the skill column."

The mortal body whose tendons were broken recovered its full strength as the breath circulated, as if the heavy punch with full force just now did not consume much power at all.

Qin Shi pulled up the map and ran towards the red dot closest to him.

"The next hunting target is... [No Way]!"

……

……

"Fuck! How could he be killed in an instant!"

Yue Xingzhe took off his helmet in a daze. The pain from the explosion on his head made his consciousness a little confused and dull.

He repeatedly recalled the punch that broke down his defense head-on, and still couldn't understand why an opponent whose vitality was obviously not much stronger than his could burst out with such terrifying power.

"Breaking the Limit...Jiu Wu Breaking the Limit! This guy is taking the path of breaking the limit!"

Yue Xingzhe seemed to have figured something out. The physical fitness of that old martial arts school was completely out of character.

After pondering for a while, the only explanation is breaking the limit.

By opening the shackles of the human body, the vitality can flow through the body from the inside out and nourish the flesh and blood.

Gain faster vitality and stronger muscles and physique.

"Damn it, the Psionic Department has lost all their dignity! Recruiting a genius from the old martial arts world who has broken the limit to do academic research? What's the difference between this and asking the elite soldiers of the regiment to be security guards!"

Yue Xingzhe was so angry that he broke down and his face was distorted. As the first loser, he was kicked out of the room and couldn't even watch the fight. He was so anxious that he felt like he was on edge.

Just as I was sitting there anxiously, the terminal started beeping and a message popped up.

[Cathead Killer: Lao Yue, V me 50, and I will pull you into the room. ]

"You bastard! You are a disgrace to the martial arts department and you are taking advantage of the situation!"

Of course Yue Xingzhe recognized the other person. It was Luo Wenbin.

He transferred the money while cursing and replied:
"Hurry up! Don't waste time!"

The next moment, Yue Xingzhe was dragged into a communication group called the [Revenge Squad].

【Black peach thick milk tea: Lao Yue, welcome, welcome. 】

[Cathead Killer: Our team is growing, congratulations! ]

The veins on Yue Xingzhe's forehead jumped. It was such a shame to be together with these two insects!

[Moonwalker: Pull me in quickly! I want to see the battle situation! ]

[Cat-Head Killer: Hey, wait, another friend is here. ]

Yue Xingzhe was stunned, and then he saw that there was one more person in the communication group.

[Your friend has invited 'Buxudao' to join the group]

……

……

"The strength of the new martial arts school doesn't seem to be in single combat. They need to work together to expand their advantage. In other words, teamwork is the strength of the new martial arts school. The combination of artillery fists, armored body, fighter body techniques... they work together like an army."

While Qin Shi's thoughts were wandering, he stepped into the chest of [Buxudao]. This martial arts student who practiced military martial arts was not as difficult to deal with as [The Moon Walker].

The latter's defense was at least in place, but he broke it with force, resulting in a crushing situation.
But [Bu Xu Dao] didn't seem to think highly of him and actually chose to compete in close combat.

With just two bursts, Qin Shi was able to knock the enemy to his knees with a single blow of the Wind Sound, sending him out of the battlefield.

Through continuous fights, he seemed to have discovered the shortcomings and weaknesses of the new martial arts school.

Whether it is the extreme flow, the military flow, or the bionic flow.

The teaching materials these martial arts students learn have relatively simple fighting styles.

"That's right. The direction for graduates of the new martial arts school is to serve in the war group, join the great expedition or the great pioneering. They are more like screws in the huge war machine, and they only need to complete their own tasks.

The legends of the past where a lone pilot in a divine machine broke through the atmosphere, penetrated deep into the hinterland, and killed generals and captured flags are too unrealistic now."

Qin Shi shook his head, thinking that perhaps the new professional martial arts school would be different.

But at the amateur level, I have broken through both physical and mental limits and have achieved unity of body and mind. I seem to be able to ignore the difference in vitality and compete with these chosen ones of Qiguang Hengda University.

[You are not allowed to leave the room]

[Red team number: eight]

Looking at the fireworks exploding above his head and the announcements for the entire map, Qin Shi thought:
"The remaining opponents should realize that they are surrounded by me alone. After that, they can either choose to unite as a group or be confident and challenge me in a one-on-one duel."

He believes the latter accounts for a larger proportion.

All the students who are admitted to Qiguang Hengda have fought hard to get through.

No matter how wealthy a family is, it still needs to rely on exercise to develop its vitality, just like no matter how smart a student is, he still needs to study hard and practice exercises and read textbooks.

Put yourself in their shoes. If sports students and art students compete in triathlon, do they have to take turns to compete?
Spread it out, there is no difference between winning and losing.

"Very good. I like this kind of pride of top students."

Qin Shi was observing the map. There were three red dots, which seemed to be rushing over as if they heard the noise.

"【The Whale Returns to the Sea】, that's you."

……

……

Chang Jing walked at a constant speed in the desert. The scorching air currents, the hot sand, and even the feedback from stepping on the sand were all extremely real.

The campus network of Qiguang Hengda is operated and maintained by a high-level machine soul named "Scarlet", which can coordinate and handle the needs of students and is responsible for the management of the virtual battle room.

In a way, this is the second world.

"The old martial arts school of the psychic department may have more outstanding mental power, and the synchronization rate is much higher than that of ordinary students, so they eliminated two people in just a few minutes."

Chang Jing knows very well that in virtual combat, the most important thing is the synchronization and coordination of body and mind.

"But it is meaningless to just rely on cleverness. The consumption of physical energy, the difference in vitality, and the gap in educational resources are all real problems."

The footsteps stopped, and the burly figure froze. The martial arts student of Qiguang Hengda narrowed his eyes and said to the increasingly weathered stone pillar forest:

"I have mastered the water bird style, the light tank step, and a fighting style that is close to A-level. If you are expecting a sneak attack, I'm afraid you will be disappointed."

Among the well-arranged and varied stone forests, the figure of the Qin Dynasty gradually emerges.

The scorching sun lashed everything, and the vast Gobi Desert was steaming with heat, distorting all kinds of scenes.

“What a keen sense.”

Qin Shi exclaimed in admiration.

Even if he didn't deliberately restrain his breath, this senior was able to detect my movements from such a distance. He deserves the word "awesome".

"Qiguang Hengda has a B-level textbook called "Radar Sensing Method". I studied it roughly."

Chang Jing raised his head, his expression calm, and his words and actions revealed strong confidence. "I know that your old martial arts school places great emphasis on fighting methods, and everyone is a master in arena duels and fighting! You are able to defeat the strong with the weak time and time again, and I believe that this training is also the reason. But I am different from the students you met before. I don't only believe in vitality.

Many martial arts students at Hengda University value vitality above all else, constantly replenishing energy fluids, taking advanced medicines, and exotic meats, just to gather vitality and improve their stats. In my opinion, this is an evil path that puts the cart before the horse.”

Qin Shi listened silently. This senior student's temperament was indeed extraordinary. The invisible breath of vitality he released was very condensed, like strands of silk threads surrounding him, almost turning into substance.

“Although life force is the root of trees and the source of living water, it is precisely because it is not easy to condense each point that we need to digest and absorb it well, master and control it, and make every change in the body clear to the mind.”

Chang Jing is a burly man, and in the traditional martial arts world, he is considered a person of horizontal training, and his voice is as loud as a bell:
"Through one teaching material after another, I will hone my vigorous vitality and make it completely my own... This is the path I have chosen! I have always longed to meet an old martial arts school like you, so that I can verify the results of my study!"

It suddenly caught fire for no apparent reason. What's going on?

[Extrasensory Perception] With the help of his inner vision skill, Qin Shi quickly understood the flow of the senior's Qi, which was calm and turbulent, and contained a very strong burst.

He is a powerful enemy!

"There are two students coming here not far away, let's make a quick decision."

Qin Shi said calmly, after defeating the two men, the fighter's second skill bar was activated.

He chose [Instant Shadow].

Highly maneuverable movements, coupled with 100%-strength attacks, even though this senior showed a very solid foundation, Qin Shi's confidence in winning did not diminish in the slightest.

"Are you worried about being besieged? Our martial arts department won't fall to the point of..."

Chang Jing smiled, but before he could finish his words, Qin Shi, who was about a hundred meters away from him, disappeared in an instant.

To be precise, it should be flickering and jumping, like a sharp line suddenly turning, leaving only afterimages on the retina.

"What a fast speed! How could it appear in..."

The smile on Chang Jing's face froze, and his fighting consciousness was activated instinctively. The vitality hidden in his torso vibrated rapidly, like circles of invisible ripples spreading outwards.

“Right side!”

Imitating the ripple qigong of radar induction, it immediately locked onto the attacking figure in the blind spot.

Chang Jing reacted almost instantly. He lowered his head and assumed a defensive posture similar to sitting upright, with his arms crossed in a cross. His strong and powerful muscles bulged like a thick membrane.

Boom!
Qin Shi activated [Instant Shadow] and kicked Chang Jing with a whip kick, but did not cause any real damage.

He felt that most of the force was cleverly dissipated the moment it hit him.

Chang Jing's body swayed, but his center of gravity was not lost and he maintained a stable posture.

His fingers were thick and spread out like a palm-leaf fan, and he was about to capture Qin Shi.

When a person is suspended in the air, he loses his footing and is more likely to be seized.

"It's a tough one!"

With the blessing of [Extrasensory Perception] and a significant increase in mental strength, Qin Shi's reaction is faster than Chang Jing's.

As his attack had no effect, he used all his strength to stimulate the hot energy. The howling air currents were affected, as if a roaring wind dragon was entwined around his body.

Even though he was floating in the air, Qin Shi still seemed to have something to rely on, and he kicked straight towards the middle of the door with his legs.

Chang Jing rushed out with both palms, but he was completely defenseless and was immediately poked in the chest by the tortoise, which made him stagger and retreat repeatedly.

Fortunately, he was experienced in fighting and always protected his vital parts, so he only suffered some minor injuries.

"As expected of an old martial arts school. The coordination of the body is almost perfect!"

Chang Jing's chest was bruised and bloody, but he didn't care much. His eyes were fixed on Qin Shi, who seemed to be surrounded by an air current with every move he made.

"Classmate! I have a way to fight you, and I have been thinking about it for a long time!"

Boom!
The burly figure smashed into the sand like a steel beam, creating large yellow waves. As Chang Jing's feet dug deeply into the sand, his waist and hips sank together, like an unshakable steel tank!

boom!
When his fists were suddenly pushed out, a loud sound like thunder exploded in Qin Shi's ears!

It's the sound of cannons!
Different from Lin Yunqing's cannon fist which was still in its infancy, Chang Jing's move had subtly touched the threshold of mental state and was about to possess both "form" and "intention"!

Qin Shi even had the illusion that he was facing the rough black muzzle of a cannon, and the hot and thick smell of gunpowder filled his nostrils.

"Fists can influence the mind! This is momentum!"

Chang Jing’s fighting style was extremely fierce. An ordinary person would have been defeated.

But Qin Shi's senses were too extraordinary, because his body and mind were one, and his spirit and flesh were in harmony. Even a heavy punch as fast as a cannonball was still allowed him to see its trajectory clearly.

The surging airflow was compressed, exploding into water wave-like patterns, and a powerful force swirled in like a cannon!

"You can dodge... but there's no need!"

Qin Shisheng developed a strong desire to win. This senior was truly the most formidable rival he had ever met.

As the fighter progresses, he unlocks the third skill bar, [Surge]!
At the moment the cannon sounded, Qin Shi also raised his fist and pushed forward!
The twelve large tendons are like coiled black dragons, drawing the surging energy within the mortal body; the muscle groups are rolling like ocean waves, delivering wave after wave of strength!
The atmosphere exploded! Like a lit gunpowder barrel, it exploded one after another, and sticky white waves shot up, bringing up rolling yellow sand!
Boom boom boom boom——

The two forces collided, causing a rumbling sound that echoed through the sky like thunder, with the lingering sound continuing endlessly.

"You're trying to break my fighting style?"

Chang Jing was extremely surprised. He had combined the water bird movement, light tank steps, and cannon fist to come up with a killer move, but he still couldn't defeat Qin Shi.

Is the old martial arts school so strong in combat?

Before Chang Jing's thoughts had faded away, Qin Shi, who was soaring into the sky like a roaring wind dragon, had already appeared above him.

The fist was clenched to absorb the air flow, as if snakes and pythons were twisting and gathering in the palm of the hand!

The overwhelming force pressed down like a dark cloud and storm!

"Really strong, fighting style..."

Faced with the second killing move that followed, Chang Jing had no chance to fight back.

[The long whale returns to the sea and leaves the room]

[Red team number: seven]

……

【Xianyun exits the room】

[Red team number: six]

……

【Dongfang Bai exits the room】

[Red team number: 5]

……

[Bao Zai Fan exits the room]

[Red team number: four...]

"It seems like I'm really going to be outnumbered ten by one!"

Luo Wenbin, who had been watching the fight, was stunned. He thought that Brother Jiuwu might be able to beat one or two people.

But defeating ten students from the Martial Arts Department of Qiguangheng University in a row is too exaggerated!
Wouldn’t your physical energy be depleted? Wouldn’t your muscles become sore? Wouldn’t your mind be tired?
Are all the old martial arts schools so durable?!
【Revenge Squad】

[Cat-Headed Killer: Good news, we are not the only ones who have suffered the ultimate insult; bad news, from now on, when the martial arts department sees the psychic department, their straight backs of these years will be broken! ]

[Wupao Thick Milk Tea: It feels like he has an infinite health bar. I suggest reporting this to the school to see if it’s enabled! ]

[Moonwalker: I'm offering a bounty to the guy who opened the box! Which psychic teacher recruited the old martial arts school that broke the limit! ]

……

……

【Achieve ten consecutive wins! 】

[Advanced to Unyielding Silver! 】

Qin Shi, who had gained points rapidly, left the virtual battle room contentedly.

He rubbed his swollen temples to soothe himself.

The terminal suddenly flashed, indicating an incoming call.

"Hello, Qin. I am Holmen from the General Affairs Office of the Inspection Department. The senior sent by the Hengzhou Martial Arts Association will arrive in Tai'an tonight. Are you free to meet him?"
