Martial Artist: Stronger by Coasting Along-Chapter 381 - 103: Playing Along While Waiting for the Right Moment

Chapter 381: Chapter 103: Playing Along While Waiting for the Right Moment

"It’s just a bit further to the top. Once you reach the summit, even if you teach Lin Chunchi and the others a lesson, they’ll still successfully enter the sixth round. Whatever you decide to do, I won’t intervene; I just want to watch the show."

Zhuang Lifan laughed again.

Then he quickly rushed to the mountaintop.

There are quite a few blood vultures on the summit.

Seeing a human expert flying up, they quickly flapped over.

"Boom!"

Zhuang Lifan unleashed a palm strike.

It was as if he had drained all the Power of Heaven and Earth from the summit in one go, turning over a dozen blood vultures into blood mist on the spot. The terrifying power of Heaven and Earth erupted in his palm, as if six powerful energies had converged into one, his technique transcending beyond the Five Elements.

However, it seemed to lack the Wood Element Power within the Five Elements.

The Five Elements Basic Power was not yet perfected.

Liu Yang’s face was black as he remained silent.

Zhuang Lifan was strong, but he was no weakling either. At this moment, with Zhuang Lifan already on the summit and successfully advancing to the sixth round, he too could rush up and swiftly enter the sixth round.

But just as Zhuang Lifan said, once one mentions ascending the summit, it means waiting for Zhang Lingfeng and his team to appear on the summit before causing trouble for Zhang Lingfeng.

Otherwise, he would be charged with disrupting the national exam.

And by then, even if he manages to cripple Zhang Lingfeng and the others on the summit, they would still smoothly enter the sixth round.

Thinking about this, Liu Yang could only wait below the summit for Zhang Lingfeng and his team to ascend.

He looked gloomy. He didn’t usually get along well with Liu Bayuan, as they both competed against each other. Since childhood, Liu Yang had been more outstanding than Liu Bayuan, being the most prominent young member of the Liu Family.

But no matter how it is, since both are Liu Family members and with Liu Bayuan eliminated by Zhang Lingfeng and the others, he couldn’t let it go.

He believed Liu Bayuan was eliminated by Zhang Lingfeng and the others due to his own faults.

But for someone from the Liu Family, Zhang Lingfeng and his group are not qualified to teach a lesson, let alone eliminate Liu Bayuan.

"Hehehe."

Zhuang Lifan’s expression brightened with joy as he quickly sat atop a large stone on the summit, looking down from above.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

Successfully found the Blood Fruit.

Even just relying on Bloodline Power, many who faced pollen managed to climb to Asura Peak and successfully reach the summit.

As of now, those racing past Liu Yang and standing together with Zhuang Lifan on the summit were, without exception, from the first and second line Martial Dao students.

There was no sign yet of a single Third-Line Martial Arts Student.

Nearly a hundred people participated in the fifth round.

In the final hour of the exam, only twenty-eight reached the summit.

"We’re here."

"We finally made it."

"Sixth round, here we come."

At that moment, three figures emerged, supporting each other, arriving at the upper layer of Asura Peak.

The terrain here is flat.

Only a small hill remained before reaching the summit.

The arrivals were none other than Zhang Lingfeng and his team.

With their strength and after consuming the Blood Fruit, they could become immune to the pollen toxins, making reaching the summit an easy task.

As more Martial Dao students approached Asura Peak.

The exotic beasts on Asura Peak became extremely agitated.

To preserve themselves and avoid being surrounded by a large number of exotic beasts, Zhang Lingfeng and his team chose to hide along the mountain route rather than charge forward like other Martial Dao students.

In fact, it was Zhang Lingfeng alone who made the dominant decision.

Both Lin Chunchi and Liu Chuan with their personalities wanted to run nonstop to the summit, pass the exam early, and advance to the sixth round to avoid timing issues.

However, Zhang Lingfeng opposed this.

He believed that with countless blood vultures on Asura Peak, lurking beasts, and stone monkeys on the watch, they should gather strength and proceed carefully, avoiding haste to ensure safety.

Since the three were in an alliance, they should consider each other and approach the summit in the safest and most prudent manner, as long as they reached the summit within the designated time, there was no need to rush.

And since they found the Blood Fruit thanks to Zhang Lingfeng.

Considering Liu Yang glared at them from above, for safety’s sake, both Lin Chunchi and Liu Chuan eventually accepted Zhang Lingfeng’s proposal.

Thus, they hid along the way, avoiding most exotic beast attacks, or waited behind other Martial Dao students, until others cleared the beasts or in critical moments, attracted fire, and then ran out, slipping past them.

To be honest, although it consumed quite a lot of time along the way, they all conserved a considerable amount of energy.

There was still one hour before the exam ended.

And the summit was in sight, all three wore expressions of joy, believing their efforts were not in vain.

"I’ve been waiting for you for a long time; you finally made it."

Suddenly, a figure emerged from behind a large rock ahead.

It was none other than Liu Yang.

It took Zhang Lingfeng and the others quite a while to get there; Liu Yang assumed that without his intervention, they would have already been heavily injured by the beasts and forced to leave Asura Island early.

Upon inquiry, he discovered that the three had been cowards, hiding on Asura Peak, taking advantage of the situation, and sneaking to the mountaintop.

Considering Lin Chunchi, a first-line martial arts student and host of Ocean City, was associating with Zhang Lingfeng and Liu Chuan during the national exam, sneaking around, Liu Yang looked down upon them.

He even imagined Liu Bayuan, while walking around, suddenly spotting a blood tree bearing blood fruit, eyes gleaming, reaching out for it only to be sneak attacked and knocked out by the trio.

"Liu Yang."

The three of them, Zhang Lingfeng included, took a step back simultaneously.

This guy really was waiting for them up there.

"What do you want to do?"

Lin Chunchi asked.

Also a first-line martial arts student, he thought it was his moment to step up and talk to Liu Yang.

"I told him about you eliminating Liu Bayuan, and he obstructed you precisely to stop you from passing the test."

Zhuang Lifan shouted.

Liu Yang’s face darkened, genuinely wanting to rush to the mountaintop and fight Zhuang Lifan.

However, what the opponent said was true, so he said, "I give you two options; either withdraw voluntarily or I’ll make you withdraw."

"As long as you let us pass, just tell us what you want. As long as I can provide it, I will give it to you."

Lin Chunchi quickly said.

Zhang Lingfeng had mentioned that if you could achieve your desired result in the simplest way, there was no need to waste time and effort, struggling for the same outcome.

Throughout this journey, Lin Chunchi deeply understood this.

He realized that bribery best wins people over.

"Hahaha, are you a fool?"

Liu Yang sneered.

"If push comes to shove, the three of us could pool together to give you a bottle of Spiritual Replenishing Liquid."

Liu Chuan chimed in,

Three days together made him trust Zhang Lingfeng’s principle of avoiding conflict unless necessary, especially against someone as strong as Liu Yang.

"What do you take me, Liu Yang, for?"

Liu Yang became furious.

"Two bottles!"

Zhang Lingfeng gritted his teeth.

Liu Yang’s expression froze.

"Three bottles, not a drop more."

Zhang Lingfeng extended three fingers.

Liu Chuan and Lin Chunchi both looked pained, Lin Chunchi couldn’t help but move towards Liu Yang, sincerely saying, "Everyone knows you’re one of the few who can face Qin Qianyu head-on. If each of us gives you a bottle of Spiritual Replenishing Liquid, you’ll be able to... howl!"

The sentence was cut short.

In an instant, Lin Chunchi drew his sword.

The Five Elements Wind, Thunder, Water, Fire, Wood Sword Intent instantly enveloped Liu Yang.

"Fuck you!"

Liu Chuan followed closely, shouting his words.

"Buzz!"

At the same time, Zhang Lingfeng released the full wave of his mental telekinesis. The trio had long expected that Liu Yang might give them trouble.

If an apology and compensation proved futile, then feign compliance, wait for the opportunity, and strike just like they did with Liu Bayuan, aiming to conclude the battle swiftly and ensure Liu Yang was incapacitated, showing no mercy.

"Fuck..."

Truth be told, Liu Yang hadn’t anticipated Zhang Lingfeng and the others to be so treacherous.

It seemed Liu Bayuan was indeed set up by them.

Fortunately, with his immense power, skills, and resonance with the six powers of heaven and earth, his dharma aspect had reached perfection, and he had already formed a vortex in his abdomen, just one step away from opening the Dantian Sea of Qi.

Though not a martial arts grandmaster, he was akin to one.

"Howl!"

The longsword was unsheathed.

What seemed like a flash of cold light was actually a relentless barrage of sword intent and shadows, all charging towards Lin Chunchi, Liu Chuan, and even Zhang Lingfeng.
