Martial Artist: Stronger by Coasting Along-Chapter 223 - 47: Body Tempering Master, Unlocking Muscle Phase

Chapter 223: Chapter 47: Body Tempering Master, Unlocking Muscle Phase

"No wonder Young Master Wu is so confident."

Ling Feng suddenly understood that Marquis Zhuge was hinting that everything was due to the Divine Vein Liquid, and he hoped Ling Feng would swallow his pride and not compete with Wu Shaoqing at this moment because he had no chance of winning.

"Teacher Zhuge, your praise is too high. I believe that martial arts contests are not just about resource benefits but also about an unwavering martial spirit. If your heart is unsettled, even if you avoid today’s challenge, you will still fail miserably the next time you face it. Ling Feng, what do you think?"

Wu Shaoqing provoked.

"You’re right. I, too, want to see how strong your saber momentum is, as you, a saber master."

Ling Feng nodded.

"Ling Feng!"

Marquis Zhuge was shocked. He had indirectly shown the strength of Wu Shaoqing, but Ling Feng still dared to confront him head-on. This wasn’t like Ling Feng’s usual style.

"Teacher Zhuge, please believe in me."

Ling Feng smiled.

Coasting Along is not about not competing, not striving, not being aggressive, or not complaining but rather not swallowing your pride and letting others ride roughshod over you.

If he ignored Wu Shaoqing’s provocation, firstly he wouldn’t be able to swallow it, and secondly, he wouldn’t be living up to the teachings of Yan Fei and others who, like him, were also treated unfairly.

In any case, this grudge had to be settled.

"You must be careful. Young Master Wu’s saber technique, called Ghost Wolf Thirteen Slashes, not only disrupts others’ minds but can also create a crying wolf sound. Even if you are a mental telekinesis master, you will be affected. Also, the jade pendant on Young Master Wu’s neck can block mental telekinesis attacks. Careful not to overdo it in your contest."

Seeing that he couldn’t stop them, Marquis Zhuge quickly reminded him.

"Teacher Zhuge, can you introduce Ling Feng to me as well?"

Wu Shaoqing mocked.

"He’s trained only in Basic Spear Technique, nothing much to introduce."

Marquis Zhuge replied casually.

To ensure Ling Feng’s safety, Marquis Zhuge quickly reported to the Xuanjing Bureau, instructing them to enhance the clarity of the drone cameras.

Closely monitoring Ling Feng and Wu Shaoqing’s every move.

"This is nonsense. How can Ling Feng accept the challenge with Wu Shaoqing so prepared?"

In the observation room, Wang Dashan was speechless.

"Which young person can swallow this? Besides, Wu Shaoqing provoked him. Don’t worry; with Master Zhuge there, Ling Feng will be fine."

Yan Fei reassured.

Even he wanted to put Wu Shaoqing in his place.

"Please!"

"Roar!"

Wu Shaoqing quickly clasped his hands, fearing that Ling Feng would change his mind. At once, he drew his saber, charging at Ling Feng like a viper with a strike.

A piercing ghostly roar erupted from his saber technique, accompanied by a chilling force.

Unfortunately, Ling Feng had the power of a Heart Stilled Like Water, so even Wu Shaoqing, as a saber master, couldn’t easily disturb Ling Feng’s mind.

However, the power within the saber technique’s momentum still made Ling Feng not dare to underestimate it.

"Watch out!"

Marquis Zhuge quickly reminded.

As a spear master, he immediately saw that Wu Shaoqing’s first strike released potential energy, aiming for a quick victory by heavily injuring Ling Feng within a few moves, thus preventing Ling Feng from attending the provincial exam.

This made him nervous because if Ling Feng got hurt under his watch and lost the chance to fight for cultivation resources for South City, Wang Dashan, Xu Songlin, and others wouldn’t forgive him.

"Buzz!"

Just then, Ling Feng’s long spear gently swept, simply and decisively, blocking Wu Shaoqing’s dominating full-force strike.

Wu Shaoqing was taken aback.

His saber technique had targeted Ling Feng thoroughly, thinking he could easily overcome Ling Feng’s spear defenses. Yet, Ling Feng’s spear technique seemed to also possess a locking power, enveloping his saber technique.

"Clang!"

For a moment, the long spear and saber clashed, the spectral howling from the saber and the deafening roar of the spear technique resounding through the Profound Realm.

Wu Shaoqing had derived spear momentum through advanced saber technique, while Ling Feng, through the transformation of the Basic Spear Technique, reached a realm where spear power was perfected and formed spear momentum.

Technique level favored Wu Shaoqing, but in terms of basic skill power, Ling Feng was far superior.

With both of them cultivating their skills to the master level, Wu Shaoqing’s saber skill level advantage and Ling Feng’s exceptional basic skill power were evident.

Wu Shaoqing’s saber technique assaulted relentlessly, like a pack of wolves, wishing to bite a piece off Ling Feng.

Ling Feng seemed to retreat steadily, yet, his spear power was perfected, his defense as solid as a fortress. The locking power from his spear ensured that no matter how fierce Wu Shaoqing’s saber attacks were, he could always block Wu Shaoqing’s long saber at crucial moments.

Two masters of their craft, one relying on superior technique level, exhibiting an overwhelming trend, and the other leveraging solid basic skill power, making his defense as immovable as Mount Tai. Regardless of how fast or powerful the saber attacks were, the seemingly simple moves could always block the attacks at critical junctures. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

"A Spear Master, you’ve also realized spear momentum!"

Wu Shaoqing’s expression turned savage.

As a prodigy of the Wu family, with bloodline power inheritance, he had only gradually understood the saber momentum after guidance from several masters of skills, becoming a saber master.

Yet, Ling Feng, from a humble background, could somehow become a spear master at the same age, and if rumors were true, Ling Feng had always trained in a single Basic Spear Technique, evolving through skills to achieve his current strength.
