Starting as an infant, with parents who are blond-haired delinquents?

Furthermore, and very importantly, Gu Yizheng would unleash his martial arts skills to harass the enemy during each synthesis process, making it impossible for him to maintain a high degree of compatibility between combat and synthesis.

Thunder Fist!

A powerful thunderous punch landed on Gu Yizheng's shoulder, striking the same attack method used by Feng Zixiang.

However, not all of Feng Zixiang's attacks landed on Gu Yizheng's body.

There's also his account communication bridge with the monster crystal core and the artificially synthesized crystal core!

His main goal is to affect Gu Yizheng's synthesis state!

With a whoosh, it was clear that many people present had noticed the little scheme of the contestant named Feng Zixiang on the field.

And this is exactly what Rescher was talking about.

This time, the main focus is not on testing the contestants' martial arts skills, but on testing their overall thinking.

Having the flexible thinking of a synthesizer is crucial for this match.

The other six contestants besides Zhang Chaoqiang who witnessed this scene also noticed what was happening. They weren't the first to go on stage, so they were able to observe the situation from the first group of contestants' performances...

I gained some experience and also learned to prepare and think about the upcoming competition.

Nearly two-thirds of the half-hour battle time has passed, which is a full twenty minutes. This period of time would normally be enough for Gu Yizheng to synthesize nearly two or three first-tier artificial synthetic crystal cores...

However, due to the obstruction of the battle, coupled with the interference from Feng Zixiang earlier, he only managed to stay in the second stage and had not yet completed the synthesis of the first crystal core.

Meanwhile, Feng Zixiang has already begun the third stage of synthesizing the first artificial crystal nucleus.

Having just experienced Feng Zixiang's attack, Gu Yizheng now fully understands the situation.

Knowing the other party's intentions, he, being intelligent by nature, quickly came up with a strategy to deal with Feng Zixiang.

Even if the difference in martial arts skills between the two is not particularly great, it is still impossible to defeat the opponent and stop their synthesis action in just a few attacks...

But if we're talking about interference, who can compare to my martial arts technique?

Flash Spirit!

A loud sound!

Gu Yizheng remained silent, but within the synthesized space, a white flash was spreading continuously between Gu Yizheng's legs!

"This is... Gu Yizheng's Flash Spirit Technique? This martial art is particularly effective for surprise attacks and concealing oneself. Opponents can't pinpoint his location at all, and may even be distracted by the flashing white mist he releases..."

"It seems this match won't be so simple. How could Gu Yizheng be so easily defeated by anyone else?"

Under Gu Yizheng's Flash Spirit Technique, Feng Zixiang was indeed severely distracted for the next ten seconds, and his attention was completely unable to be focused on his synthesized state.

Of course, he needed to do everything he could to prevent a sudden attack from Gu Yizheng within the white mist generated by the Flash Spirit Technique.

However, is it possible that Gu Yizheng did not launch the attack that Feng Zixiang was worried about, but instead was synthesizing artificial crystal cores?

"Absolutely possible," Feng Zixiang said through gritted teeth...

Gu Yizheng's synthesis progress is currently much slower than ours.

Under these circumstances, given the opportunity, the other party will definitely go all out to synthesize it.

However, the physical form of the Shining Mist could not be dissipated immediately.

Therefore, Feng Zixiang could only watch helplessly and take precautions.

The synthesis speed of the third stage in my hand has slowed down a bit, but there's nothing I can do about it.

If one is caught off guard and Gu Yizheng attacks a vital point, the difficulty of the synthesis will increase significantly, and there will be many obstacles and impacts.

The next ten seconds or so passed, and Feng Zixiang used his left hand to communicate with spiritual energy, communicating with the embryonic microstructure of the closed artificial crystal nucleus.

With the right hand placed in front of the body, constantly changing its position, one maintains a defensive posture and remains fully alert.

In the second minute, Feng Zixiang had already fallen two minutes behind Gu Yizheng in terms of synthesis efficiency.

Having waited in vain for Gu Yizheng to launch an attack, Feng Zixiang feared that his synthesis speed and efficiency would fall behind his opponent's.

Therefore, we should focus all our efforts on synthesizing crystal nuclei to speed things up and avoid being overtaken by Gu Yizheng.

One second, two seconds, three seconds…

With the match time approaching the 30-minute mark, Feng Zixiang was doing relatively well in the first ten seconds, focusing most of his attention on the synthesis.

Therefore, he judged that Gu Yizheng probably hadn't been able to pinpoint his location within the white mist, so he focused even more of his attention on it.

With only five minutes remaining, both were engulfed in the shimmering white mist, making their final sprint to synthesize the item. But just moments before, Feng Zixiang had focused all his energy and attention on the synthesis…

Boom!

Gu Yizheng made his move.

With powerful arms, he unleashed the Dragon-Snake Heaven and Earth Hand!

He flung Feng Zixiang more than 30 meters away to the edge of the synthetic space barrier!

The synthetic embryo, which had just been close to closing, was suddenly broken again due to such external interference.

The embryo's microstructure reopened. This meant that Feng Zixiang needed to restart the third stage of synthesis.

But with only one minute left, Gu Yizheng had already completed the synthesis of his first crystal core!

Therefore, comparing the efficiency and progress of the two, Gu Yizheng was the clear winner!

In the next minute, the white mist released by Gu Yizheng's Flash Spirit Technique had completely disappeared, and he did not try to interfere with Feng Zixiang's synthesis again.

He knew that even if the other party went all out, they would not be able to complete the third stage and the final fusion of spiritual power in just one minute.

Unless he is Zhang Chaoqiang.

But he wasn't, which proved that the other party could never defeat him, especially since Feng Zixiang was injured at the moment, making it absolutely impossible for him to contend with Gu Yizheng.

Gu Yizheng didn't make any move; he just stood quietly in front of Feng Zixiang.

Watching the other person, they gradually attempted to synthesize the artificial synthetic crystal core in their hand.

However, synthesis was no longer possible, because those last few dozen seconds were of no use to him at all.

Clearly, after the final announcement of the competition, Gu Yizheng defeated Feng Zixiang, who had not completed the synthesis, with a score of one crystal core.

Feng Zixiang, whose match was over by Gu Yizheng's attack, lifted up his shirt, revealing a vicious and hideous red scar on his chest and both arms.

This is the damage Gu Yizheng inflicted on him, and it still stings even now.

Losing to Gu Yizheng wasn't exactly an embarrassing thing. Feng Zixiang, who still felt some regret, could only blame his bad luck. If it were someone else, they might not have had no chance of winning.

Next, another draw will be held.

Xinyun City player Wuma Mengchao will face off against Jiangnan City player Dang Zhenpeng.

In the end, Wuma Mengchao emerged victorious.

Group 3: Yang Yunqing from Yangyun City vs. Zhang Chaoqiang from Tianan City!

Chapter 257 Gaining Experience

The third match: Yang Yunqing from Yangyun City versus Zhang Chaoqiang from Tianan City!

This quarterfinal match has undoubtedly become the focus of everyone's attention for the time being.

Zhang Chaoqiang and Gu Yizheng are both highly sought-after champions in the competition.

In the field of synthesis, Zhang Chaoqiang is even more advanced than Gu Yizheng.

In reality, Zhang Chaoqiang had previously demonstrated achievements far exceeding his stated abilities.

All people need to know is that Zhang Chaoqiang once killed a player with the strength of a beginner level 2 in one hit.

It seemed like a simple gesture, but perhaps only Zhang Chaoqiang knew how much intricate effort he had actually put into it.

However, in the eyes of others, his true strength is definitely not that simple.

Immediately afterward, as Zhang Chaoqiang and Yang Yunqing went on stage, the latter also involuntarily clenched his fist.

This small gesture perfectly demonstrates that he was also in a tense emotional state while facing Zhang Chaoqiang.

Soon, both sides entered the composite space, and in the instant their figures completely disappeared from the real world...

After Zhang Chaoqiang entered, during the standoff between the two sides, a flash of light clearly signaled the start of the match.

During the half-hour match, both sides first grabbed the crystal cores they needed to synthesize.

While observing the situation, he also diverted his attention to extracting and synthesizing the pure spiritual energy from the demon beast's crystal core, even though he was originally fully focused on...

Neither the first nor the second phase is likely to be a difficult problem.

However, this was the first time for both Zhang Chaoqiang and his opponent Yang Yunqing that they were distracted.

Fortunately, his excellent senses and attention not only helped Zhang Chaoqiang get into the zone and concentrate more quickly, but also distracted him.

In addition, his current fourth-level low-level mental level is enough to support him in multitasking.

As he began extracting the spiritual energy from the crystal core, Zhang Chaoqiang decided not to waste any more time. He immediately charged forward...

Facing Yang Yunqing, a second-tier martial artist, Zhang Chaoqiang did not hesitate for a moment.

Taking the initiative, Zhang Chaoqiang shouted, "Charge!"

Then came the "Wind Fist," two fierce attacks that, amidst screams and amplification, instantly reached a level of 2000P and 1460P.

The two opening attacks served as a prelude to testing Yang Yunqing's true strength.

A fierce attack instantly swept in front of Yang Yunqing. He hadn't expected Zhang Chaoqiang to act so decisively, mainly because Zhang Chaoqiang's two shouts had successfully distracted him.

This caused the synthesis process to be temporarily halted, with a significant reduction in quality.

Therefore, they focused all their efforts on fighting back and temporarily suspended their synthesis actions.

On the other hand, Zhang Chaoqiang was using his martial arts skills while simultaneously maintaining the synthesis process with his hands.

Tortoise Shell Shield!

Yang Yunqing placed his hands in front of him and used his forearms to mimic the shape of a tortoise shell.

This martial art possesses astonishing defensive capabilities. Although it was learned from a mere ordinary-bloodline demonic beast, this beast, known as the Crimson Demon Armor Turtle…

Their defensive capabilities are astonishing, so after absorbing the Crimson Armored Turtle, he developed a martial art called Turtle Shell Shield.

"My martial skill can greatly reduce the attack power of even mid-level or high-level second-tier martial artists!"
