Hyper-fusion, I have infinite forms

Then you can start to develop higher-level "Star Shock" techniques - stimulate the potential of specific acupoints through willpower and create additional super-powerful bursts.

Zhou Yan imagined the scene of himself becoming stronger, with a slight smile on his face.

Although enhanced by the Life Suit, he now possesses the physique and body control that is comparable to the ultimate or even grandmaster level even without the super-fusion transformation.

But who would dislike becoming stronger and stronger?

Outside the window, the sky was already getting light.

Although Zhou Yan practiced all night long, he was still full of energy.

Today, the semi-finals and finals were held consecutively.

"Li Guanqi, let me come and see for myself how strong you are!"

(Today's update is 8K, the extra words are for Xiao Pan!)

I broke the world record for the 100-meter swimming race. I wanted to update it two days ago, but I didn’t have enough time to write it out. I’ll try my best today!

Chapter 112 Will You Win?

A night of practice is over.

When it was just getting light, Zhou Yan had already left his room and headed straight for the training ground.

This time, he didn't see Li Guanqi from yesterday, but the tall young man with short hair who trained hard with exaggerated weights was still there.

"Hello, I'm Zhou Yan from Nanming Sword Hall in Tianzun City. What's your name?"

Before the training, Zhou Yan took the initiative to step forward and greeted the other party after seeing him finish a round of weighted pull-ups.

Zhou Yan was over 1.80 meters tall, and his physique had become stronger after a period of exercise, but he still looked small in front of this young man who was nearly two meters tall and had a muscular body.

When the short-haired young man heard Zhou Yan's words, he subconsciously stood up straight in a posture similar to standing at attention, and then said hesitantly: "Hello, I, I know you, Zhou Yan, the favorite to compete for the first place in this exchange meeting"

After a pause, he added: "And, I am the favorite along with Li Guanqi."

"Haha, I didn't expect I'm a bit famous." Zhou Yan smiled, "But you haven't told me what your name is yet?"

"Yes!" The short-haired young man straightened up and said in a louder voice, "I am Nie Luo! I am affiliated with the Suzaku Army's Wing City Division Weapon Corps!"

Then, he looked directly at Zhou Yan with a burning gaze: "You are also the leader among the new recruits of this session of the Mechanical Weapon Corps. Whoever wins between you and Li Guanqi today will be my opponent tomorrow!"

Zhou Yan couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "I knew that someone who could train as much as you could not be an unknown person. Nie Luo, I look forward to fighting with you tomorrow."

Nie Luoze was stunned for a moment: "You, you are so confident that you can beat Li Guanqi? I heard that he is, he is the direct disciple of a big shot in Suzaku Palace."

Zhou Yan chuckled: "What a coincidence, Luo Xuan, you know it."

"I know. Your owner was rumored to be the number one genius in Suzaku Palace a few years ago." Nie Luo answered subconsciously.

This answer made Zhou Yan confused.

"Wow, I didn't expect Xiaoxuan to have such a big name?"

"So why would she, who has such a promising future, return to a secondary city like Tianzun City?"

Then, Zhou Yan realized that it was probably related to Luo Huaiyi's death.

But now is not the time to think about the inside story. Zhou Yan smiled at Nie Luo and said, "So, Luo Xuan is the number one genius in Suzaku Palace, isn't she also a big shot? I am her student, which means I am also a student of a big shot. Why can't I beat Li Guanqi?"

"This, this." Nie Luo was stunned for a moment and speechless.

Zhou Yan patted the slightly stiff big guy's arm and said, "Take your time to think about it. I'm going to warm up."

As he said this, he walked to a corner, turned on a flow cube machine, and continued his sharp training.

Only Nie Luo was left standing there scratching his head and thinking for a long time, but in the end he went back to continue the hellish weight-bearing training.

On the other side, in a room in Lihuoge Apartment.

Li Guanqi, who had an ordinary face but an extraordinary temperament, was standing silently, holding a sword in one hand, closing his eyes, and his eyelids trembling slightly.

He had been up since four o'clock and had been standing in the same position ever since.

In his mind, the shadow of an opponent named Zhou Yan was fighting him for life and death with a sharp blade in hand.

Based on Zhou Yan's performance yesterday in which he easily defeated Zheng Keren, Li Guanqi has increased Zhou Yan's estimated strength by an additional 20% based on that performance.

And perfect Zhou Yan of this level in his mind, forming an opponent who can engage in "psychological warfare" with him.

Now, Li Guanqi, who had fought with Zhou Yan in his mind for countless rounds, had a more and more obvious smile on his face.

He suddenly opened his eyes, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and the sword in his hand stabbed out subconsciously.

Extremely fast, extremely fierce, and extremely accurate!

In his eyes, his sword seemed to have pierced through the heart of the illusion in his mind.

Li Guanqi quickly drew his sword, turned around, and walked out of the room with great confidence.

"Zhou Yan, I will win this battle!"

A few hours later.

After training and breakfast, Zhou Yan followed Luo Xuan and Luo Ke to the stadium.

Luo Xuan: "Zhou Yan, today is the last day of the exchange meeting between students of the sword halls. The semi-finals and finals will be played in the morning. Your performance so far is already good enough. Don't feel any psychological pressure and just play normally."

Zhou Yan turned his head to look at the indifferent female genius: "Hey, Instructor Luo, do you think I will win?"

Luo Xuan looked at Zhou Yan quietly, and after a few seconds, she answered seriously: "In the semi-finals against Xiang Ping, you will definitely win!"

"Hmm," Zhou Yan said with a half-smile, "Xiaoxuan, you know, I'm not asking about Xiang Ping."

Luo Ke beside him also snorted and said, "Sister, you don't think Zhou Yan can't beat Li Guanqi, right?"

Luo Xuan was silent for a while: "Then Li Guanqi was accepted as a personal disciple by the top elder of Suzaku Palace, 'Yinghuo Sword Lord' last year. Zhou Yan, do you know what Yinghuo Sword Lord means?"

"Mars Sword Master?" Zhou Yan touched his chin. "This is a nickname, right? I feel like it doesn't fit with the daily style of painting—"

Luo Ke also made the same chin-touching gesture as Zhou Yan: "Are you sure this isn't a nickname that only appears in fairy tales?"

The two people, one tall and one short, one male and one female, were in the same thinking posture and looked extremely in sync.

Luo Xuan watched all this in silence and sighed softly: "Zhou Yan, in order not to affect your mentality, I will tell you about the situation of the Sword Master after the game, and by the way, let you know more secrets of this world."

Luo Ke complained: "Sister, you are like toothpaste, you squeeze and spit out a little bit, I really want to use a pair of pliers to pry your mouth open and make you pour out all the stuff hidden in your stomach."

Luo Xuan glanced at her sister coldly: "Before that, I will beat your butt until it swells up."

"Zhou Yan! Look at her!" Luo Ke immediately asked Zhou Yan for help, "Besides threatening with force, what else can this violent woman do?"

The veins on Luo Xuan's forehead bulged.

"Haha, okay, okay, instead of bickering, why don't you help me think about Li Guanqi's weaknesses." Zhou Yan's words immediately distracted Luo Xuan's attention.

She tilted her head slightly to think for a moment, then said seriously, "Li Guanqi has been training under the Mars Sword Master for a year. It is said that his talent is rare in a century, and he is a natural swordsman. Although he was already nineteen years old when he was discovered last year, one year older than me, and has only been training for a year, as a disciple of the Sword Master, he must have no shortage of training resources. With the top talent combined with abundant resources, plus the careful teaching of the Mars Sword Master, although he has not yet reached the Miao level, I am afraid that his physical fitness has been cultivated to the peak of the fierce level."

As he spoke, Luo Xuan glanced at Zhou Yan again: "As for sword skills, it goes without saying that he has at least mastered the Nanming Sword to perfection, and he must be very proficient in the four secret sword moves. Maybe the Sword Master taught him in advance."

Luo Xuan paused for a moment and sighed: "In short, although Zhou Yan's growth rate is unprecedented, it will be very difficult to defeat him."

"Well, how about a bet?" Zhou Yan smiled.

"What are you betting on?" Luo Xuan was a little confused.

"Let's bet on whether I can beat Li Guanqi." Zhou Yan looked at the girl and pointed at the silver-white box she had been carrying.

"If I beat him, Xiaoxuan, let me see the power of your magic machine, how about that?"

Luo Xuan lowered his head to look at the magic machine that he never left behind, and then said calmly: "Even if you don't win, you can still watch it, but since you want to gamble, then gamble."

"Okay, okay! It's a deal!" Before Zhou Yan could say anything, Luo Ke became excited when he heard that he could see the divine machine.

After making a bet with Luo Xuan, Zhou Yan was notified to change his clothes and go on stage.

When he put on his protective gear, took his sword and entered the arena.

He saw at a glance the opponent who entered the field before him.

Xiang Ping - the young man who met him once before the first day of the exchange competition and helped him force Zheng Keren to leave the elevator in disgrace.

The sword gym he was in seemed to be a very successful one. The owner's surname was Bai, and he was an "unparalleled" master who was more powerful than most of the owners of Nanming sword gyms.

At that time, Zhou Yan still thought that if he didn't wear the life-saving suit and only relied on the 20% bonus, it might be difficult to beat Xiang Ping.

But now.

Zhou Yan stood still with the sword in hand and smiled at Xiang Ping from afar: "Xiang Ping, as you said, we really met."

On the contrary, Xiang Ping on the opposite side had a somewhat bitter smile. He looked at Zhou Yan helplessly: "I originally thought that my opponent in this game would be Zheng Keren."

"And I will defeat him and compete for the first place."

As he said that, he looked at Zhou Yan: "But, you defeated my imaginary strong enemy so easily. No, it can't be said to be defeated. It's brutalized."

Suddenly, Xiang Ping pulled down his mask and a muffled voice came out: "Give me some respect, we'll decide the winner in one round!"

Zhou Yan also gently pulled down his mask: "Don't fight another round."

"One move determines victory or defeat!"

"it is good!"

The two of them took stances and faced each other quietly, and were instantly immersed in the confrontation.

Xiang Ping was highly focused. He had already seen from yesterday's match in which Zhou Yan crushed Zheng Keren that Zhou Yan was the dark horse that was most hidden in this exchange match.

His strength, agility, and swordsmanship skills have all reached extremely high levels.

However, as long as he remains within the human realm, he still has a chance of winning.

'My advantage is my superior insight and solid basic skills'

"As long as I can catch Zhou Yan's mistake once"

Xiang Ping's expression calmed down, and he felt his sword-holding hand becoming steadier.

The referee quickly came on the field and swung his stick to signal the start of the match.

Whoosh!

Zhou Yan ran quickly and rushed out violently.

Xiang Ping's eyes trembled rapidly, and he locked onto Zhou Yan's figure with his excellent dynamic vision.

"It's fast, but I can see it clearly!" Xiang Ping's lips curled slightly, and then he saw Zhou Yan's wrist flipping smoothly while running, switching to holding the sword with his backhand.

"He's going to use the Green Scythe!" Xiang Ping was excited, and the method to break the Green Scythe instantly emerged in his mind.

This is the opportunity he has been waiting for!

In a flash, Xiang Ping had already assumed a stance specifically designed to deal with Qingjian.

And Zhou Yan had already swung his sword back.

"I won!" Xiang Ping raised his lips, but then they froze instantly.

He raised his sword and pushed it forward, and when it collided with Zhou Yan's sword, there was no feeling of collision at all.

However, with his extremely strong dynamic vision, the backhand sword that Zhou Yan slashed out was blurred for a moment.

Boom!

Xiang Ping felt his throat protector being hit hard, and the whole person was caused by the impact to do a backflip into the air.

And Zhou Yan had already appeared behind him.

Bang!
