Martial Artist: Stronger by Coasting Along-Chapter 347 - 89: Great Demon of the Qi Realm—I’d Like to Try

Chapter 347: Chapter 89: Great Demon of the Qi Realm—I’d Like to Try

The legend of a Third-tier Province Martial Arts Student.

Rather than saying he was leading the Wild Boar King, it would be more appropriate to say that through telepathy, the Wild Boar King stayed by his side, not daring to make any reckless moves, and through aura manipulation, it reacted as if struck by lightning.

This was a Wild Boar King at the Dirt Realm.

Liu Chuan only needed to slay it to pass the assessment and successfully advance to the fourth round.

But he was in no hurry.

In this sparsely populated Qingshui City, he could indulge in slaughter to his heart’s content. He enjoyed this state, relishing in using his spiritual power to control alien demon beasts, and even every person around him.

Zhang Lingfeng wore a vigilant expression.

At this moment, he was utterly certain that Liu Chuan’s spiritual power had formed a domain, rather than just a mental realm.

Because back in Jiangbei City, Ao Dagang had once used a spiritual domain, attempting to force him into apprenticeship. The greatest difference between a spiritual domain and a spiritual realm is not only the transformation of the power of heaven and earth from intangible to tangible but also the formation of the domain, as if becoming a world unto itself, and oneself the dominator of that world.

Not only could it intimidate hearts, but it could also form a powerful oppression, making enemies react as if struck by lightning, not daring to make any reckless moves, and even bowing down in submission.

While a mental realm forms damage to the enemy’s physical body through the power of heaven and earth, a domain directly targets the heart, capturing the soul, seemingly calm without turbulent waves, yet able to decide life and death in a breath.

The meaning of skills lies mainly in continually capturing and controlling the power of heaven and earth, continuously strengthening the skills, allowing skills to transform along the way.

Making the same move possess different power.

And whether it’s a mental realm, domain, or even a demon realm, the essence is the spiritual power controlling the power of heaven and earth, making the power of heaven and earth one’s dao field, or even a world, able to both protect the body and imprison the enemy, or even directly crushing the enemy from the spiritual level.

There are indeed substantial differences between the two.

At this moment, Liu Chuan was using a spiritual domain to lure the Wild Boar King, making it bow its head in his domain. Even knowing death was imminent, it dared not entertain thoughts of resistance, because spiritually, it had already been crushed by Liu Chuan.

Back when Ao Dagang released his domain to deal with Zhang Lingfeng, if Zhang Lingfeng hadn’t possessed the power of Heart Stilled Like Water, he would have submitted to Ao Dagang, taking him as a mentor.

Fortunately, although Ao Dagang employed a spiritual domain, he didn’t exert his full strength, otherwise, after that day, Zhang Lingfeng and Ao Dagang would have become master and disciple.

Of course, if such an event had occurred, he might not have been able to advance to the third round now.

"Gah!"

Suddenly, a miserable cry came from the Wild Boar King.

Zhang Lingfeng saw a storm of the power of heaven and earth appear in Liu Chuan’s domain, an earth element power, forming chains of sand and soil, strangling the Wild Boar King to death.

With this, Liu Chuan passed the assessment, successfully advancing to the fourth round.

"Phew!"

Seeing this scene, Zhang Lingfeng breathed a sigh of relief. Liu Chuan’s successful advancement to the fourth round meant he wouldn’t target him.

Because if he attacked now that he had advanced, it would be disrupting the assessment. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

This is why Chang Shanhu needed to imprison a Bone Realm Mouse Demon, to deal with Zhang Lingfeng first, and then go back to kill the Mouse Demon to complete the assessment task.

"On my journey so far, most of the eligible demon beasts for the assessment have been killed. You have only a few hours left, and if you cannot slay enough demon beasts, even if you defeat Chang Shanhu, you won’t advance to the fourth round,"

Liu Chuan reminded.

Under strong spiritual perception, he detected Zhang Lingfeng’s nervous emotions, having no hostility towards Zhang Lingfeng, but filled with curiosity.

In any case, Chang Shanhu had at least mid-to-upper-level strength among Third-line Martial Arts Students. Zhang Lingfeng managing to eliminate him truly surprised people.

Since the Great Crossing River Era, all Fourth-tier Provinces have had their resource subsidies reduced by a level, especially places like Jiangbei Province, bordered by the ocean and threatened by the Great Radiation Zone.

The Seven Great Star Systems Alliance couldn’t provide much in terms of resources, and even a proposal exists to abandon Jiangbei Province, letting it become a battle zone for humans and the Alien Race, as well as a buffer area for humans and marine creatures.

This shows how low the status of Jiangbei Province is in the eyes of the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance.

Zhang Lingfeng being able to represent Jiangbei Province and advance to the third round this time had already created a miracle, unexpectedly defeating Chang Shanhu, while holding both the Four Element Spear Intent and Four Elements Realm, indicating his spiritual power wasn’t weaker than that of Third-line Martial Arts Students.

Liu Chuan was curious to see how far Zhang Lingfeng could go.

"Thank you."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lingfeng clasped his fists toward Liu Chuan as a gesture of gratitude.

Fu Kejun also nodded to Liu Chuan, then darted towards the east, with Zhang Lingfeng following closely behind. He perceived through his 7.72 spiritual power that the aura of an alien demon beast was indeed in that direction.

"I wonder what your brother will think when he hears that you, in the third round, were eliminated by a martial arts student from a Fourth-tier Province?"

Liu Chuan walked up to Chang Shanhu, unable to suppress a smile as he spoke.

"Pfft!"

Chang Shanhu, overwhelmed with anger, couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of blood. His internal organs were shattered and needed time to heal, his legs were also broken by Zhang Lingfeng. Though he was slowly regaining mobility through Dharma Aspect restoration, he had already lost combat power.

An overhead drone circled above him, with relevant staff rushing over to retrieve him from Qingshui City, preventing his death at the hands of an alien demon beast.

"The descendants of the Chang Family are indeed a generation weaker than the last. The Peng bloodline is nothing extraordinary after all."
