Cosmic Demon

Chapter 235 The Sixth Battle Group's Incineration Technique, a renowned sword produced by Pillar!

Qin Shi acted like a waiter, hurriedly and enthusiastically "inviting" Jiang Shijie and the others inside.

He posted the orders several days ago, but very few brave souls actually dared to accept the invitation and come to his door to fight, since who knows if it's a sting operation by the inspection department?

All platforms on the dark web, while not regulated by Dongxia, do not guarantee users' personal information, let alone privacy and security.

"This kid..."

The scholar was a little stunned. He looked at Jiang Shijie and Lin Xiong as they stepped through the gate, sighed helplessly, and followed them into the Nanhuang Martial Arts Hall.

The Wind Scythe Order of the Seventh Battle Group is known for producing two major types of soldiers.

The first task was reconnaissance, and the second was attacking the stronghold.

The scholar's name is "Wu Yong". He is a skilled reconnaissance soldier in the military, with outstanding military skills and individual combat abilities. He has achieved excellent results in various competitions.

Otherwise, how could he have caught Mo Zhenting's eye, been selected for his personal guard, and gotten to hang out with Jiang Shijie and Lin Xiong, these two "kings of soldiers"?

"He's not even at the full-time level yet, and he's already incredibly arrogant. He really deserves to be taught a lesson by Chiang Kai-shek!"

Wu Yong squinted. One of the essential courses for reconnaissance troops is "perception".

Although most practitioners follow the path of martial arts, they must strive to open up their inner world and focus on cultivating their spiritual will.

Their sensitivity to the flow of Qi is so keen that they can see right through anything.

The moment he saw Qin, he sensed that the other man's life force was incredibly rich, far beyond his age, showing profound accumulation, yet he was indeed standing on the threshold to his professional field, just one step away from success.

"The Wushu Association's claim that the overall level of martial arts among Hengzhou's rising stars has regressed by thirty years seems to be correct."

Wu Yong thought to himself.

His energy was like beams of sound waves, swirling and wandering in the surrounding space. Any object it touched was immediately reflected back to his own spirit, outlining its general shape.

Subconsciously and passively conducting reconnaissance, Jiang Shijie was like a large, blazing flame, releasing high-temperature heat capable of melting gold and refining iron.

With a vitality of 190 or more, specialize in individual combat techniques, such as "The Mysterious Light of Ignorance".

The vast majority of the soldiers in the 7th Regiment came from the Southwest Associated Military Academy or other military academies.

Eighty percent of them follow the new martial arts style.

the reason is simple.

This is more suitable for the complex environment of large-scale battlefields, and it can better play its "role" and quickly integrate into the military.

But Jiang Shijie was rather unconventional. He was a typical son of a high-ranking official. Although he hadn't reached the level of "reaching the ears of the emperor" to become a nobleman or a second-generation aristocrat, his ancestors for nine generations had participated in the Great Expedition, making him a descendant of a general with impeccable lineage.

Because of his family's tradition of martial arts, he chose the old martial arts school and received education from famous teachers from a young age. He went to three or four different martial arts schools and was carefully trained by two people from the Heavenly Gate level.

The book "The True Light of Ignorance" was also selected from the military's all-encompassing "think tank," making it particularly suitable for Jiang Shijie.

The radiance of life intertwines and coalesces to form a domain, much like a giant steel furnace roaring to life, capable of melting metal and steel into liquid, its power extremely domineering.

"Old Jiang has nearly 200 points of vitality, is a professional level 6, and his purity is top-notch. It would be unfair for him to beat a little kid like him."

Wu Yong muttered to himself, as the aura spread out, the other Lin Xiong presented a completely different impression. His violent and wild flesh and blood body was like a statue cast from black iron, indestructible.

This burly man, who resembles Captain Ape, is the fighting champion of the Wind Scythe Army and has few rivals in close combat.

With 187 points of vitality, he also specializes in individual combat techniques, using the "Pure Steel Whale Armor"!
Unlike Jiang Shijie, who comes from a distinguished family and has outstanding abilities, he is a second-generation rich kid.

Lin Xiong belongs to the "fate-defying academic genius" category.

Although his personal image is rather rugged and doesn't resemble a top-performing academic student at all, he looks more like a sports student who likes to cultivate himself.

Lin Xiong, who came from Yazhou Fortified City, relied on his exams to fight his way through the competition and was recommended to one of the four national universities, where he studied at the Southwest Associated University.

He has mastered four A-level martial arts and two S-level martial arts, and his life force development process is quite perfect.

He is proficient in everything from grappling and hand-to-hand combat to agility and movement techniques, from explosive and fierce fighting styles to grappling techniques that ensure both endurance and stamina.

It is precisely because it has no weaknesses that it can firmly hold the top spot in the Wind Scythe series of combat fighters.

Wu Yong, who was walking behind, glanced at Jiang Shijie and Lin Xiong, and finally his gaze landed on Qin Shi.

The reconnaissance aircraft pulsed slightly, slipping in with the wind, emitting a "buzzing" sound even before touching the target.

The chaotic noise, like that of a radio, was particularly jarring.

Qin Shi raised his hand and flicked it as if sweeping away dust, thus extinguishing the faint, imperceptible aura of reconnaissance.

"It seems this person is quite eager to be the first to challenge me?"

A wisp of hair on her forehead was gently blown by the wind, and her calm gaze, like that of a deep pool, locked onto Wu Yong.

"hiss!"

The latter's brow throbbed and suddenly became burning hot, as if a red-hot brand was gradually approaching.

"I almost forgot! This kid has achieved a unity of spirit and body, spanning two different paths!"

Wu Yong looked embarrassed; as a reconnaissance soldier, he had been caught red-handed.

It was undoubtedly a loss of face, and they were somewhat embarrassed.

"Old Wu's methods were too crude, or did he not take this kid seriously? Now he's caught off guard and made a fool of himself!"

Lin Xiong crossed his arms, looking on with amusement.

If he uses today's incident as leverage, and the "reconnaissance daggers" of the Wind Sickle Sequence Army arrest the high school student on the spot, Old Wu's lifelong reputation will be ruined.

"This secret will keep me alive for years to come!"

Lin Xiong grinned.

"Old Wu didn't underestimate his opponent. This kid has cultivated his inner vision and opened up his sea of ​​consciousness. His spiritual cultivation is quite remarkable."

Jiang Shijie's eyes flickered. "The Mysterious Light of No Ignorance" is an old martial arts technique that emphasizes the unity of body and mind. Its perception level is slightly inferior to Wu Yong's, but stronger than Lin Xiong's.

When Qin Shi and Lao Wu's energies clashed, he discovered that the former's inner world was extremely vast, revealing a powerful spiritual force.

"This kid really thinks too highly of me! I gave him a little bit of paint and he's already trying to take advantage of me. If he gets stepped on, how will he ever be able to stand up straight again!"

Wu Yong felt slightly annoyed and couldn't help but feel a surge of anger.

He discovered that Qin Shi's aura was firmly locked around him, without any attempt to conceal it.

It is a consensus that the old martial arts school has a very sophisticated way of cultivating and refining qi.

But times have changed!
Compared to the ever-changing and diverse armies that combine the strengths of various schools of martial arts, the old martial arts sects that are isolated and lack a single lineage are utterly vulnerable.

Give the simplest example.

Starting from the eighth millennium of the New Eastern Xia, all major warbands have changed their learning materials and launched "anti-psychic special training".

Previously, when facing the Forgotten Realm or even higher-level psionicists, the warband units were often constrained in every way. Unless they used the terrifying firepower of orbital strikes to cover and sweep the area, it was difficult to gain the upper hand.

In the early part of the third millennium, the Supreme Research Institute conducted repeated research on the Silent Field and developed corresponding equipment, aiming to make it as portable as possible to alleviate the problem that the warband could not deal with powerful psionicists.

But in the eighth millennium, Han Qingyu, the commander of the Sixth Battle Group stationed on the ancient star of Taiyin, developed a defensive fighting method called "All-Inflicted Technique".

Its effect is very simple and brutal: by stimulating the activity of flesh and blood, it instantly extracts life force, briefly opens the sea of ​​consciousness, and neutralizes and weakens all abnormal mental fluctuations imposed on the body.

From then on, almost every member of the Ranked Army from the Sixth Warband could be called a "psychic killer," and would activate "self-destruct mode" at the slightest provocation.

"I'll show you what it feels like to have your head blown off!"

Wu Yong's pupils dilated, his eyes bulged, resembling a Vajra statue enshrined in a temple.

In less than two tenths of a second, a powerful surge of energy erupted from his entire body!

The vibrant, boiling blood and flesh felt like a bomb exploding inside the body, rushing straight to the brain!
Under the influence of the "Complete Destruction Technique," Wu Yong's sea of ​​consciousness was opened.

The skin on the center of his forehead was taut, as if torn, as if about to reveal a vertical eye.

Of course, Wu Yong shouted loudly, but he didn't really intend to "destroy everything together."

hum!
The air emitted a faint smell of burning, and the powerful mental fluctuations, almost tangible, collided with a deafening roar!

Wu Yong and Qin Shi were about twenty paces apart. Their eyes locked on each other, and their surging aura poured out like a flood.

In a split second, the shockwave exploded!
"Old Wu went too far!" "Old Wu has lost his temper!"

These were different ideas from Jiang Shijie and Lin Xiong, but the moment they came to mind, both of them showed surprise and astonishment.

When the vital energies clash, they rarely linger for long.

The previous encounter between Qin Shi and Yu Li was more like a friendly sparring match that ended there.

In terms of sheer intensity, this one is far less severe.

"His!"

A cool breeze wafted between Wu Yong's unconsciously parted lips and teeth. His head felt heavy, like a physical reaction to a high fever. His consciousness was hazy and his thoughts were unclear.

This is unusual for a top reconnaissance soldier, who has received professional training and maintains peak physical and mental condition year-round.

The Burning Mantra stimulated the activity of the flesh and blood, and the temporarily opened sea of ​​consciousness dissipated completely, while the "vertical eye" that was about to form in the center of the forehead also closed.

"what's going on?"

Lin Xiong was surprised.

He stared at Wu Yong, whose nose was oozing two lines of blood, his face filled with disbelief.

A scout from the 7th Battle Group's Wind Scythe Sequence Army couldn't beat a high school student?

Did we really suffer a huge loss?
"Commander Han's 'Complete Incineration Technique' forcibly opens the 'pineal gland' by activating flesh and blood, greatly amplifying perception, and using explosive mental power to neutralize or weaken abnormal mental fluctuations, even causing psychic users to suffer backlash when caught off guard..."

Jiang Shijie's face twitched; this result was also beyond his expectations.

It seems that the successor of the Nanhuang Taoist Temple overloaded the "All-Burning Technique" to forcefully break through Lao Wu's mental defenses.

That's rather unbelievable.

How old is he?

Where does the accumulation of mental strength come from?

It's important to understand that the psionic path isn't something you can reach the top of just through hard work and diligence.

The breadth and depth of one's inner world cannot be compensated for by talent alone.

Throughout the vast history of Dongxia, every extraordinary spiritual master, whose life was akin to a divine manifestation, had a legendary life filled with ups and downs.

"The quality of the elite soldiers in the battle group is just different."

Qin Shi's eyelids twitched, suppressing the urge to shake his head.

“His life force purity is no less than yours, and so are the other two.”

Super Xiao He's voice came from the interior scene. The white-haired boy had blood on his nose, but his face was calm and composed.

"Your next two games will be tough."

Clearly, after the clash of energies just now, Qin Shi chose to have Super Xiao He take his place.

We should still respect Han Qingyu's "Complete Burning Technique" as the commander of the Sixth Battle Group.

"I don't necessarily have to win."

Qin Shi maintained a calm mindset, having repeatedly beaten others in battle rewinds.

He firmly believed that a true strongman, as long as he cannot be killed, will become even more invincible!

"Make a strong first impression and overwhelm him with momentum, and the rest will be easier. Old Liang's teaching is spot on. To deal with elite combat teams, you have to play by your own rules, especially with military academy students, who are all bookworms who just follow the textbook."

Seeing Wu Yong's expression of existential doubt, Qin Shi wholeheartedly agreed.

Besides teaching martial arts techniques and the true teachings of Hung Sing, Lao Liang would occasionally add a few words about battle group training.

This does not involve a confidentiality agreement, so feel free to answer.

Wu Yong's "Complete Burning Technique" had an overly obvious opening move. After Qin Shi noticed it, he immediately summoned Super Xiao He to absorb the pressure, and then seized the opportunity to completely overwhelm the opponent with his mental power.

There's nothing particularly special about the fighting style; the key is the exquisite execution.

Yu Wei, leaning back on the corridor bench, smiled slightly. Junior Brother Qin was indeed the kind of genius that Master had described—one who was willing to use his brain in a fight.

"Old Wu, you can go down now. You've completely disgraced our 7th Regiment's reconnaissance unit."

Seeing that Wu Yong was not in good condition, Lin Xiong quickly came out and took him aside.

The clash of energies is extremely dangerous.

If one is not careful, it can trigger a mental backlash, which can be far more serious than other injuries.

"I feel like he's a grandmaster!"

Wu Yong clutched his chest, his heart pounding wildly; the side effects of using the "Complete Burning Technique" were quite pronounced.

"His mental strength is terrifyingly stable; it's simply unshakeable..."

Lin Xiong said with a helpless expression:
"Alright, alright, he's only seventeen and not an adult yet. Is he some kind of spiritual miracle? Old Wu, it's not your fault for losing. You haven't practiced in a long time, so it's understandable that your skills are a bit rusty."

Lin Xiong rubbed his hands together, and after he had left Wu Yong aside, he adopted the old-fashioned way of greeting martial arts, clasping his hands in a fist and saying in a loud voice:
"I am passing through this esteemed place and have long admired the reputation of the Nanhuang Martial Arts Academy, so I have come to inquire about its teachings."

Qin Shi returned the greeting with clasped hands, as he, as the executive deputy director of the Nanhuang Martial Arts Academy, had to be mindful of proper etiquette when receiving guests.

"You have come from afar and are soldiers who guard the border for our country. Please come inside and have a seat."

Qin Shi's face remained calm, showing no sign of the fierce battle that had just taken place; there wasn't even the slightest ripple of emotion.

This made Lin Xiong and Jiang Shijie wonder just how high the other party's spiritual cultivation was.
The former was a bit skeptical, thinking that no matter how talented he was, his age was a factor.

How strong can you become if you start practicing martial arts in the womb?

Qi Wuxiang and He Lanzhan are not common cabbages; how could they be found everywhere!
Lin Xiong took a step forward, his steps heavy, like a road roller crushing a water-milled brick, making a "crackling" sound.

Spiderweb-like cracks rapidly expanded outwards from his vantage point.

"I won't go into any more small talk."

Lin Xiong introduced himself:

"I'm Lin Xiong from the 7th Battle Group's Wind Scythe Sequence Army. I know a little bit of everything, from grappling and hand-to-hand combat to fistfights. I won't bully you or try to fight you in close combat; that would be too much of an advantage for me."

"My main combat skill is the 'Pure Steel Whale Armor.' If you can break through my defense, I'll admit defeat, how about that?"

Qin Shi raised an eyebrow; this burly man, who resembled a gorilla captain, was quite confident.

He used his life magnetic field to roughly sense the situation and found that the other party was a "perfect punching bag".

"Any requirements, Brother Xiong? Like, only unarmed combat or something?"

Qin Shi's eyes flickered, and he asked softly.

"If you have a suitable weapon, feel free to use it. To be honest, my Pure Steel Whale Armor is at the ninth level, and it can even withstand a single shot from a coastal defense cannon!"

Lin Xiong laughed heartily.

This kid is quite polite; he even came up to call me "brother."

"I see. So, if you lose, Brother Xiong, can I make a request?"

Qin Shi asked again.

"Say whatever you want! I'm not like Old Wu, a sore loser who's all talk and no action! You can shatter my battle body, and I'll acknowledge you as my big brother, no problem!"

Lin Xiong patted his chest and said.

However, as soon as he finished speaking these bold words, his expression changed, and his towering, muscular body swayed involuntarily.

It looks like it was startled!
There is no other reason.

Qin Shi somehow found a military knife.

He smiled shyly at Lin Xiong:

“Brother Xiong, this ‘Perfect-grade Electric Shock Saber’ comes from the Pillar of the Gods. You’ll have a good look at it later.”
