High Martial Arts: Liver Becomes the Master of the Universe

Chapter 84 Another Masterful Killing Technique

When the results of the seventh round of draws came out, even the commentators were somewhat helpless.

"Unbelievable! Ladies and gentlemen, I don't even know what expression to wear to announce this result... In the seventh round, Qin Feng... received a bye for the third time!"

The brutal elimination rounds, like a giant sieve, sifted through thousands of participants, leaving only the final ten.

Above the arena, most of the hundreds of brightly lit floating arenas had been extinguished, resembling stars with dim light.

Only a few remain, yet they still radiate light.

On the giant holographic screen in the center of the "Crown of the Arctic," the portraits and names of the final ten were listed one by one, enjoying the attention of hundreds of thousands of spectators.

Qin Feng, Lei Yi, Li Qing, Shi Potian... one after another, these shining names were prominently listed.

Inside a luxury box in the "Qiming Spectator" building in the Hongye Commercial District.

Qin Dahai was so excited that his face turned red. He didn't even care about the composure of a family head. He patted his uncle Wang Ming's shoulder hard, and his voice trembled.

"Old Wang! Did you see that! Did you see that! Top ten! Top ten among all the Rising Star geniuses!"

Wang Ming was also very excited, nodding repeatedly: "I saw it! I saw it! This kid has really brought us honor!"

My aunt and two younger brothers burst into enthusiastic cheers.

Even the youngest sister, though she didn't quite understand, knew that the eldest brother on the screen was the most amazing.

The top floor of the viewing tower.

The atmosphere here has become incredibly heavy.

Looking at the list on the screen, a staff member analyzed in a deep voice:

"These last ten people are now clearly divided. Qin Feng from Qiming No.1 High School, Lei Yi from Tianshu, and Li Qing from Jinlong High School are all monsters in their own right. Especially Qin Feng and that Lei Yi, they are unfathomable."

"The rest, like Shi Potian from Qiming No. 1 High School, and the two boys from our school, are at the level of just beginning to master killing techniques, and are in the second tier."

He added, "There's another one... Zhao Kai from 'Chenxi No. 3 High School'. This guy is really bad, but his luck is just unbelievable. He hasn't encountered a single tough opponent along the way."

"Arrange for him to leave; he's already had enough luck."

"A high-level martial artist said."

"it is good."

"..."
-
The eighth round of the draw has begun.

All eyes were fixed on the big screen, eager to see what kind of intense battle would unfold in this round, or who would be unlucky enough to run into the monsters Qin Feng or Lei Yi.

The system flashed, and the two avatars were extracted and frozen together.

Qin Feng (Qiming No.1 High School) VS Zhao Kai (Chenxi No.3 High School)
Immediately following, another highly anticipated showdown was born!

Lei Yi (Tian Shu Martial Arts High School) VS Li Qing (Jin Long Martial Arts High School)
The moment the draw results were announced, the camera immediately focused on the "lucky one," Zhao Kai.

A look of astonishment flashed across his face, but when he saw that his opponent's name was "Qin Feng," his face turned ashen.

But just a second later, as if he had suddenly figured something out, the bitterness and fear on his face vanished, replaced by a broad-minded and relieved smile.

Under the watchful eyes of the entire audience, he didn't even walk towards the ring, but instead went directly to the referee at the side of the ring and casually shrugged.

"Referee, I forfeit."

From a great distance, he cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Qin Feng's direction and chuckled in a soft but clear voice:

"Brother! I'm already incredibly lucky to have made it into the top ten! I won't go up there and humiliate myself, or waste your time! I wish you the best of luck in winning the championship! May your martial arts prowess continue!"

This frank and straightforward act of being single initially silenced the entire audience, then erupted into good-natured laughter and applause. Just like that, Qin Feng won without a fight, directly advancing to the top five.
-
All eyes naturally turned to another arena, which was also the central main arena for this round.

Lei Yi and Li Qing.

Two long-established favorites to win the championship have finally met head-on.

The moment the battle began, Li Qing instantly displayed his terrifying strength as a top genius.

His figure was like a ghost, and with the enhancement of the [Phantom Step], he transformed into indistinguishable afterimages, moving erratically on the arena, impossible to lock onto with the naked eye.

At the same time, dozens of thin, cicada-wing-like throwing knives shot out from various tricky angles, transforming into a silver death storm that completely enveloped Lei Yi from all directions!

The incredibly fierce attack made the entire audience instinctively hold their breath.

Faced with such a desperate situation, Lei Yi, wielding two sticks, initially only engaged in passive defense.

He wielded his double sticks with impenetrable force, like a black shield, deflecting most of the throwing knives.

The commentator's voice was filled with tension:
"Li Qing is too strong! The combination of his movement and throwing knife technique is simply flawless! Is Lei Yi going to lose? He seems to be completely suppressed!"

The audience was also discussing it extensively.

Lei Yi was completely overwhelmed by the flying knives.

Just when everyone thought Lei Yi was about to be defeated, the situation on the stage suddenly changed!

Lei Yi, who had been on the defensive, suddenly changed his aura. The two sticks in his hands became more and more fierce, and the shadows of the sticks were so numerous that they even faintly carried the sound of wind and thunder!

His speed suddenly increased, not only keeping up with Li Qing's [Phantom Step], but even surpassing it!

"Yes... the Wind and Thunder Step, his staff technique has reached its peak."

"Yes, the mark of mastery is the seamless integration of body movements and techniques, achieving perfect harmony."

"Tsk, a freshman has already mastered it, he's a monster, his comprehension is terrifying."

Some of the older students with sharp eyes recognized the Great Completion Illusion Step.

After all, the mark of mastering any beginner-level killing technique is the ability to seamlessly integrate the movement techniques and various skills inherent in the technique, making them as natural as an extension of one's own body and readily available to be used.

The older students do have some discernment.

After all, those who dare to sign up for the senior student competition must at least have a perfect killing technique.
-
On the field—facing several throwing knives coming from tricky angles again, Lei Yi did not dodge or avoid them this time!
His two sticks spun rapidly along an incomprehensible trajectory, striking the sides of each throwing knife with unparalleled precision and deflecting them one by one!

“Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding!”

After a series of crisp, ear-piercing sounds, the dozens of throwing knives were bounced back along the same path by him at an even faster speed!

This sudden turn of events shocked Li Qing.

He was thrown into disarray and panic by the flying knife that bounced back from him.

Lei Yi seized this fleeting opportunity!

With a series of powerful steps, he moved like a bolt of lightning, instantly covering a distance of tens of meters and appearing in front of Li Qing.

With devastating force, the short stick in his hand struck Li Qing's light armor twice in succession!
"Bang! Bang!"

Li Qing was struck as if by lightning, spitting out blood. He was blasted out of the arena like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground.
