Martial Artist: Stronger by Coasting Along-Chapter 357 - 94: Provincial Exam, Level 8 Mental Telekinesis

Chapter 357: Chapter 94: Provincial Exam, Level 8 Mental Telekinesis

Coasting Along Value: None

Bloodline Power: Leopard King Bloodline (1408/20000)

Physical Fitness: 922.1

Combat Power: 5671.1

On the airship.

Zhang Lingfeng closes his eyes to rest.

7.72 of spiritual power, he carefully senses the changes in himself.

The bloodline power transcends the Five Elements, transforming from a Five Elements Wind Leopard to a Leopard King Bloodline. At first, Zhang Lingfeng felt no change at all.

But seeing the changes in physical fitness and combat power, he clearly understood that applying all his Coasting Along Value to the bloodline power was not a slightest waste.

At the same time, with this emergence of bloodline power, Zhang Lingfeng slowly discovered the differences between the bloodline within the Five Elements and the bloodline beyond it.

It turns out that the reason the bloodline beyond the Five Elements is superior is due to its natural suppression of the bloodline power within the Five Elements.

Zhang Lingfeng recalled the details of his fight with Chang Shanhu.

When Chang Shanhu activated the Roc Bloodline to attack him, although his Five Elements Wind Leopard could also function, it was obviously slower in speed and power.

At the time, he thought it was because he didn’t have enough bloodline value, but now he realizes, when Chang Shanhu activated the Roc Bloodline, a pulling sensation arose, causing his Five Elements Wind Leopard to fall behind in speed and power, a natural suppression that was fundamentally unbreakable.

Had it not been for mastering the Four Elements Spear Intent and Four Elements Realm, possessing superior speed, along with combat power surpassing Chang Shanhu, otherwise, he would have suffered.

This natural bloodline suppression was something he couldn’t have imagined before.

Additionally, Zhang Lingfeng had an intuition that his bloodline power, transcending beyond the Five Elements.

This feeling doesn’t mean that the Leopard King Bloodline’s power exceeds the Four Elements Realm or Four Elements Spear Intent, but it gives him a sense that when his bloodline erupts, he could easily shatter others’ Gaseous Armor with a punch.

This intuition doesn’t stem from combat power crushing, but purely from the oppression of bloodline power, making him feel that his bloodline could easily disrupt others’ nodes and balances resonating with the Five Elements power.

Much like the Black-armored Crocodile’s easy disruption of his Spear Intent and Realm.

Even if the opponent is a Qi Realm expert, with bridges of resonance between their realm and the world strengthened, under his bloodline force wave, that balance point would also be broken.

Previously, Zhang Lingfeng hadn’t fully understood the concept of transcendence.

He thought transcendence was having other powers beyond the Five Elements after bloodline evolution, but upon possessing this power and through 7.72 of telepathy, he discovered it wasn’t what he imagined.

The Leopard King Bloodline, like the Five Elements Wind Leopard, remains a speed-type bloodline power, only the speed of the Leopard King Bloodline far surpasses the Five Elements Wind Leopard. Additionally, it contains power capable of breaking the Five Elements balance, more easily stirring and disrupting the surrounding Five Elements power.

Zhang Lingfeng feels that if he were to encounter a Great Demon like the Black-armored Crocodile again, even unarmed without using Spear Intent and Realm, he could rely on bloodline advantage to shatter its black armor with a punch, shredding its guts and leaving its insides a mush.

Not just because his speed would become faster, but the released power could easily disrupt the enemy’s resonance with the world, greatly weakening their defense and attack power, overrunning them on multiple dimensions to kill them with one punch.

"No wonder the Zheng Family only let Chang Shanhu deal with me, evidently they didn’t anticipate that I not only mastered the Four Elements Spear Intent but also awakened the Four Elements Realm. In their eyes, Chang Shanhu could crush me with his Roc Bloodline alone. If not for my advantage in spiritual power, how could I have taken down Chang Shanhu?"

Zhang Lingfeng mused internally.

"Didn’t expect you to make it to the fourth round."

At this moment, a figure approached Zhang Lingfeng, and someone next to him immediately got up to leave, giving way to the newcomer.

The newcomer was none other than Liu Chuan, regarded as the strongest among Third-Line Martial Arts Students.

Zhang Lingfeng hadn’t forgotten the scar on the Black-armored Crocodile’s forehead.

Back when he initiated the Qi Phase and his combat power exceeded 4000.0, he thought even if he was still inferior to Liu Chuan, the gap shouldn’t be too far.

He never expected that now, with bloodline evolution and Liu Chuan sitting right beside him, his 7.72 spiritual power couldn’t sense Liu Chuan’s depth, and it constantly reminded him that Liu Chuan is a dangerous character.

Clearly, even with his current physical fitness and combat power, Liu Chuan could still exert pressure on him.

"Liu Shen."

Fu Kejun, sitting on the other side of Zhang Lingfeng, saw Liu Chuan sitting beside Zhang Lingfeng, and excitedly said.

"I want to talk privately with Zhang Lingfeng."

Liu Chuan smiled.

"Alright, you all have a nice chat."

Fu Kejun hastily got up to leave, even clearing out the surrounding crowd to avoid disturbing Liu Chuan and Zhang Lingfeng’s conversation, and those chased away by Fu Kejun weren’t angry, but rather gladly cooperated.

Zhang Lingfeng knew people were showing respect to Liu Chuan, not him.

No matter how you look at it, even if he created a miracle at the last moment, successfully killing the Black-armored Crocodile to advance to the fourth round, in their eyes, he is just a martial arts student from a Fourth-tier Province, incomparable to Liu Chuan.

"Previously, Fu Kejun mentioned that Liu Chuan possesses a Spiritual Domain, Third Layer of Sword Intent, and is suspected to have opened the Eighth Layer Dharma Aspect. Now I surpass 5000.0 combat power, but with 7.72 of spiritual power, him sitting beside me, I still can’t feel the ability to defeat him. It seems he’s not suspected but indeed opened the Eighth Layer Dharma Aspect."

Zhang Lingfeng thought internally.

Recalling the scar on the forehead of the Black-armored Crocodile, he asked, "You could have killed the Black-armored Crocodile earlier, but spared it, didn’t you?"

"No."

Liu Chuan shook his head and explained, "At the time, it was hiding at the bottom of the lake. I used various methods to lure it out, but it wouldn’t cooperate, so I got frustrated and slashed at the lake’s surface, only for it to dive into the mud, leaving me helpless."

Liu Chuan said nonchalantly.

"Uh..."

Zhang Lingfeng looked stunned.

The fact that the gash on the forehead of the Black-armored Crocodile wasn’t caused by emerging from the water and being scared off by a single slash from Liu Chuan, but rather it hid at the bottom of the lake without coming out was due to Liu Chuan angrily reprimanding it.

Thinking of Guo Wei and the King of North of the River describing the realm of "Intent," Liu Chuan’s Sword Intent has already reached the Third Layer. Perhaps a casual swipe could unleash solidified Sword Qi, creating a terrifying Sword Aura.

It’s akin to causing the surrounding Power of Heaven and Earth to fluctuate, forming a force visible to the naked eye, directly penetrating the lakebed to heavily injure the Black-armored Crocodile.

Zhang Lingfeng could not help but wonder if his current Bloodline Power could disrupt this balance of power.

Clearly, it wasn’t so simple.

"Since the Great Crossing River Era, no Martial Arts Student from a Fourth-tier Province has ever advanced to the fourth round. Your talent is good, you’re courageous, and you know how to endure. I always feel you could defeat the Martial Arts Students from First and Second Lines and successfully advance to the fifth round."

Liu Chuan said meaningfully.

"How is that possible."

Zhang Lingfeng shook his head.

"When Qin Bochong was defeated by the Black-armored Crocodile, who could have predicted you would kill the Black-armored Crocodile alone and successfully advance to the fourth round."

Liu Chuan laughed.

"I happened to break through, plus the Black-armored Crocodile was exhausted because they drained much of its strength, allowing me to take advantage."

Zhang Lingfeng explained.

"Still, it shouldn’t have been possible for you to kill it with three spear strikes."

Liu Chuan laughed again.

"This..."

"Agent Pu called you over, probably wanting to recruit you into the Martial Hall, right?"

Liu Chuan asked.

"Did he approach you too?"

Zhang Lingfeng questioned back.

"No."

Liu Chuan shook his head.

"Why?"

Zhang Lingfeng was puzzled, wondering why Liu Chuan, being so outstanding, was overlooked by Pu Yuchao.

"I require a higher price."

Liu Chuan hesitated before saying, seemingly worried about disheartening Zhang Lingfeng.

Zhang Lingfeng suddenly understood, showing no sign of feeling dejected.

"I came to find you regarding Chang Shanhu."

Liu Chuan added.

Zhang Lingfeng involuntarily became more alert.

"No need to be nervous, I mean no harm to you. I just feel it’s exceedingly rare for you to rise up and want to remind you. Chang Shanhu’s brother, Changshan Long, is cultivating in the Academy and is a top exceptional talent. After the national exams, we will all be sent to the Academy. If nothing unexpected happens, Changshan Long will exhaust all means to expel us from the Academy in the shortest time possible."

Liu Chuan said helplessly.

"One dragon and one tiger; the Chang Family is indeed formidable, but you’re so strong, surely you don’t worry about their schemes."

Zhang Lingfeng was inwardly surprised, but outwardly calm, realizing Liu Chuan’s true purpose was to seek cooperation.

"If I were given another year, Changshan Long wouldn’t be a threat, but as the Chang family’s direct descendant, with abundant resources, and us being unfamiliar with the Academy, it’s easy for him to plot against us."

Liu Chuan cautioned.

"Why can he stay in the Academy for so long?"

Zhang Lingfeng was confused.

"His talent is extraordinary; in the continental exams, he earned several honors for the Great Xia Kingdom, granting him a three-year permission for cultivation in the Academy. It’s said he’s apprenticed under a Realm Traveler, with a Sea of Consciousness Value surpassing 8.0, capable of using Mental Telekinesis to influence the Dantian Sea of Qi, crushing many people’s Eighth Layer Dharma Aspect. Moreover, his Roc Bloodline, reportedly under the guidance of the Realm Traveler, has evolved, undergoing transformation."

Liu Chuan said with a solemn face.

"8.0?"

Zhang Lingfeng widened his eyes; Ao Dagang’s partner Qiao Yishan was only a Seventh Level Mental Telekinesis Master, yet Chang Shanhu’s brother, Changshan Long, was an Eighth Level Mental Telekinesis Master.

No wonder he performed well in the continental exams.

Since participating in the national exams, Zhang Lingfeng has learned more and more.

After the national exams, everyone can cultivate in the Academy. Aside from the Great Xia Kingdom wanting to seize the opportunity to nurture everyone and provide various places with formidable fresh blood,

it’s also intended to use this training to identify a few Martial Arts Students capable of representing the Great Xia Kingdom in battles, earning honors and securing additional resource subsidies from the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance.

It’s crucial to understand that the national exams are merely basic competitions hosted by the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance, and the continental exams are just intermediate competitions. But if one can represent the Great Xia Kingdom, not only will it bring glory to the ancestors, the resources and subsidies obtained will vastly surpass everyone else’s, even stirring envy among many wealthy family scions.

Such an opportunity is exceedingly difficult to come by.

For Changshan Long, as a Martial Arts Student from a third-tier province, gaining the chance to participate in the continental exams was a miracle, and attaining honor in continental competitions for the Great Xia Kingdom was a miracle within a miracle.

Yet Liu Chuan believes he can defeat Changshan Long a year later; this guy is extremely confident!
