Martial Artist: Stronger by Coasting Along-Chapter 542 - 159: Old Fox, I Misjudged You
Spiritual power is tangible.
Upper grade Spiritual Root.
Among Li Xiaoshuang and the four others, apart from Li Xiaoshuang whose Spiritual Root reached the middle grade, Zhao Zihao, Qian Bo, and Sun Dehua’s Spiritual Roots are all just lower grade.
Although the four great families have abundant resources and strong backgrounds, not all direct lineage members are prodigies. For Li Xiaoshuang and his generation to become Realm Travelers, it’s not only due to the academy teachers’ guidance but also because of the resources accumulated by the four great families.
Of course, in the eyes of ordinary people, any of the four, including Li Xiaoshuang, is a giant.
Unfortunately, they still fall short when facing Zhang Lingfeng.
It’s important to know that even before Zhang Lingfeng had awakened his Spiritual Root, relying on his Dantian Qi Sea’s absolute power and his superior Heaven and Earth Harmony Index, he could easily eliminate them.
Even using only his Destruction Mental Power, he could remain undefeated, defeating the four of them by simply holding out for a while.
However, since Zhang Lingfeng left Classroom No. 3, the four have had no more interactions with him. They are usually in seclusion, focusing on cultivation. Although they know Zhang Lingfeng, along with experts from the Hidden Kill Department, killed the Demon God Giant Axe and the Black Spider Octopus King, the four do not believe Zhang Lingfeng could be stronger than them, especially when they join forces.
As descendants of the four great families, they still have some confidence.
Unexpectedly, they lost so miserably.
All four were instantaneously defeated by a wave of spiritual power from Zhang Lingfeng, losing their qualifications to become continental martial arts students. It was originally widely believed that Li Xiaoshuang and the other three were the predetermined candidates for the continental martial arts students.
There were even rumors that the number of continental martial arts students this year would exceed previous years, but unexpectedly, it decreased instead.
"Upper grade Spiritual Root, you awakened an upper grade Spiritual Root."
Feeling the deafening roar of the Leopard God, especially the spiritual power fluctuation that transformed into the Leopard God form, Qin Qianyu was overjoyed. He had previously worried that his remarks might have provoked Zhang Lingfeng to recklessly awaken his Spiritual Root prematurely, resulting in a weaker Spiritual Root level. Unexpectedly, Zhang Lingfeng awakened an upper grade Spiritual Root.
It seems Zhang Lingfeng was not lying when he said the awakening of his Spiritual Root was natural and inevitable.
Thinking of this, the elated Qin Qianyu’s swordsmanship became increasingly fierce, swiftly attacking everyone around him. With Zhang Lingfeng’s upper grade Spiritual Root, and before even awakening it, he could tear apart demon gods. At this moment, there were not many martial arts students in the venue who could contend with him.
Even Jin Yifei might not be able to take advantage.
It’s known that Jin Yifei previously suffered a loss in mental telekinesis. Now, even though Zhang Lingfeng’s Spiritual Root level is the same as his, even if Jin Yifei’s spiritual power is more robust, he cannot easily overcome Zhang Lingfeng.
"Well done."
Wen Duoduo congratulated, his face filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment. His Spiritual Root level was the same as Li Xiaoshuang’s, but Zhang Lingfeng’s recent strike was overwhelming. Whether in terms of the Heaven and Earth Harmony Index or Spiritual Root level, Zhang Lingfeng surpassed him, and Wen Duoduo found, to his dismay, that he was no match for Zhang Lingfeng either.
"Thank you!"
Zhang Lingfeng smiled slightly and charged towards the others.
He caught the small movements of Ding Qiang and Chu Chenyu out of the corner of his eye, but considering that they had contributed a lot of Coasting Along Value to him recently, Zhang Lingfeng chose to ignore it for now.
After all, only four people can become continental martial arts students, and there will be someone to eliminate the two of them. There’s no need for him to act, and he doesn’t want to fall out with Ding Qiang and the others.
"Sect Leader, the spiritual power is tangible; Zhang Lingfeng awakened an upper grade Spiritual Root."
Wu Chunsui said excitedly.
Jiang Nan looked surprised, then sighed softly and closed her eyes again.
Zhang Lingfeng’s ability to awaken an upper grade Spiritual Root did surprise and delight her, but it further confirmed that her previous judgment was correct. If Zhang Lingfeng could have exercised patience and cultivated according to the steps she set, the Spiritual Root he would awaken in the future would definitely be among the top three grades, capable of standing alone, like Qin Qianyu.
In a certain sense, Zhang Lingfeng being able to coast along all day, soaking in the bath at home, reading fantasy novels, and rewarding the Ancient Fat Dragon, was largely due to Jiang Nan’s tacit approval.
Because she knew the actions of Jin Yifei and the others could effectively prevent Zhang Lingfeng from awakening his Spiritual Root at this stage. Once the continental martial arts student personnel were decided, she would eliminate all factors affecting Zhang Lingfeng’s cultivation.
Ensure that Zhang Lingfeng can awaken a top three grade Spiritual Root.
Unfortunately, she underestimated Zhang Lingfeng’s talent, never anticipating that he could casually awaken his Spiritual Root and become this year’s continental martial arts student.
Thinking of this, Jiang Nan could only sigh.
"Boom!"
There were quite a few who provoked Zhang Lingfeng, wishing to eliminate him.
Unfortunately, besides Qin Qianyu, who could pose a threat to Zhang Lingfeng, even Jin Yifei couldn’t harm him. All those attacking Zhang Lingfeng were without exception easily eliminated by him.
"There are only four people total. You guys go eliminate Wen Duoduo, and I’ll eliminate Zhang Lingfeng. Do it quickly!"
Jin Yifei said to Ding Qiang and Chu Chenyu.
Previously, he had been severely damaged by Zhang Lingfeng using mental telekinesis in the Divine Thought Class, causing him to lose face, which he had never forgotten. Even if Zhang Lingfeng awakened an upper grade Spiritual Root, he still intended to act and eliminate Zhang Lingfeng.
As the numbers dwindled,
finally, only four could become continental martial arts students. Jin Yifei didn’t hesitate any longer and quickly charged toward Zhang Lingfeng.
A palm was struck in the air,
while simultaneously urging mental telekinesis fluctuations to form Wave Power, intending to sweep Zhang Lingfeng away.
