Martial Artist: Stronger by Coasting Along-Chapter 283 - 64: Intermediate Bloodline, Five Elements Wind Mink
Even if I successfully open the Fifth Layer Dharma Aspect within a month and become a genuine Dirt Realm Martial Artist with a combat power of 800.0, it is still impossible to be compared with the Martial Dao students from first-tier, second-tier, or even third-tier provinces.
Otherwise, Ao Dagang wouldn’t have only required him to advance to the second round in the national exam.
He’s just puzzled about how the prodigies from the first and second tiers can surpass those from the third and fourth tiers. Is it merely through resource subsidies?
Thinking of the power of bloodline inheritance, Zhang Lingfeng couldn’t help but wonder if there exists a power of spiritual inheritance, or if the prodigies of the first and second tiers are naturally more inclined to awaken bloodline power and become Spiritual Martial Artists and Mental Telekinesis Masters.
And they awaken faster and more easily.
The level of the bloodline power they awaken is also higher.
With intermediate bloodline power, the Five Elements Wind Mink, Zhang Lingfeng is fairly satisfied, but he knows that compared to the Wu Family’s Divine Bull Bloodline, his intermediate bloodline is still inferior.
Fortunately, he can continually evolve his bloodline power through the Coasting Along Value.
He just doesn’t know what kind of power will be formed when the Five Elements Wind Mink evolves into a high-level bloodline.
Thinking of this, Zhang Lingfeng couldn’t help but think of the Third Layer Spear Force and wondered whether the Spear Force would evolve into the Fourth Layer or form some other power after reaching perfection.
Suddenly, Zhang Lingfeng realized that his understanding of Martial Dao cultivation was only superficial.
The next day.
Zhang Lingfeng and Wang Dashan arrived at the Jiangbei Royal Mansion.
Although there are six people who have entered the finals, the other five all looked at Zhang Lingfeng with faces full of panic, knowing that Wu Taishan was defeated by Zhang Lingfeng in just a few moves.
Out of the six, only three can obtain the Divine Vein Liquid.
Zhang Lingfeng is a nailed candidate, and the remaining two slots will be awarded from the five people, who all worry that Zhang Lingfeng will strike them during the competition, depriving them of the opportunity to obtain the Divine Vein Liquid.
For this reason, the forces behind the five presented many gifts last night to Wang Dashan and others, hoping Zhang Lingfeng would show mercy.
"The King of North of the River has ordered that the five of you attack Zhang Lingfeng together. Whoever lasts the longest in combat against Zhang Lingfeng will be the second and third chosen ones."
When they entered the Jiangbei Royal Mansion, before even seeing the King of North of the River, they heard this command.
They arrived at a large training room.
"Real combat?"
Everyone was a bit surprised.
"They want the five of us to deal with Zhang Lingfeng together."
"No matter how strong Zhang Lingfeng is, he can’t possibly defeat all five of us at once."
"This is a great opportunity for us. If we can defeat Zhang Lingfeng, we might win the favor of the King of North of the River."
"Zhang Lingfeng has never looked up to us, today we’ll show him what we’re made of."
"Let’s not hold back and give our all to beat him. I think whoever defeats him can win the Divine Vein Liquid."
Each of the five said in turn.
Upon learning that the rules for the final round had been changed to this, the five were all dumbfounded at first, but then became very excited.
Reaching the final step, their combat power has reached the Bone Realm level, and one of them, Yan Qiu, even opened the Fourth Layer Dharma Aspect with bloodline power.
He is a descendant of Jiangbei City.
A popular choice to win the championship this time.
He never accepted being inferior to Zhang Lingfeng, but he was unwilling to provoke him for the sake of the Divine Vein Liquid. Unexpectedly, the King of North of the River issued this command.
It was a great chance to show his prowess.
He believed that with the cover of others, he could easily defeat Zhang Lingfeng.
"Old Six, you don’t have any objections to me doing this, do you!"
The King of North of the River asked.
"No, what you’re doing is fair, and I accept it wholeheartedly."
Ao Dagang quickly replied.
Just now, along with the King of North of the River, and Ming Cheng’s master Huo Jiatin, the third strongest in Jiangbei Province, they reached an agreement.
As long as Zhang Lingfeng can endure the siege of the five for half an hour without defeat, he will be granted resources equal to Ming Cheng’s and be fully nurtured by Jiangbei Province.
If he can’t hold on for half an hour, although he can still participate in the national exam, most of the resources for the following month will be tilted towards Ming Cheng.
"Ming Cheng, if you were Zhang Lingfeng and faced them, how confident would you be?"
The King of North of the River asked.
Ming Cheng is nineteen years old this year, a few months older than Zhang Lingfeng, and he has been following Huo Jiatin, not meeting the King of North of the River for the first time, but having received guidance from him before as well.
With a combat power of 600.0, he has awakened his intermediate bloodline power, hoping to evolve his bloodline into high-level through the Divine Vein Liquid and open the Dirt Phase, he replied neither humbly nor arrogantly: "All five are the strongest Martial Dao students from various places, and if they teamed up, it’s hard to gain an advantage. But since they don’t know each other well, I should be able to defeat them within half an hour."
Huo Jiatin had a smile on his face.
His disciple had always been low-key, and being able to defeat five opponents with combat power reaching the Bone Phase within half an hour was not too much.
The intermediate bloodline power, Five Elements Water Python, allowed Ming Cheng to gain an advantage in a melee, moving like flowing water, defeating each individually.
"And if Zhang Lingfeng is added?"
The King of North of the River asked again.
He understood Ming Cheng’s strength, and half an hour was indeed reasonable.
"Then, thirty-five minutes!"
Ming Cheng hesitated and said.
"You’re confident you can defeat Zhang Lingfeng within five minutes?"
The King of North of the River laughed.
"I should be able to."
Ming Cheng nodded.
"I don’t think so."
The King of North of the River shook his head.
As the only Five-Element Telekinesis Master in Jiangbei Province, he noticed the moment Zhang Lingfeng walked into the mansion that his Sea of Consciousness Value wasn’t below 2.0, nor was he an ordinary Level One Mental Telekinesis Master.
Though Ming Cheng isn’t weak, supported by Zhang Lingfeng’s mental telekinesis, it shouldn’t be a problem for him to persist for ten minutes against Ming Cheng.
Upon hearing this, Ming Cheng’s expression stiffened.
Everyone was also unexpected.
"You may be right."
Ming Cheng nodded.
"You’re unconvinced in your heart."
The King of North of the River smiled.
"I dare not."
Ming Cheng hurriedly shook his head.
"Why not? If you lack even this bit of courage, how can you awaken the Spiritual Realm in the future?"
The King of North of the River reminded.
"Indeed, I’m unconvinced."
Ming Cheng nodded.
"Hahaha!"
The King of North of the River laughed out loud.
"Boss, only two people Ming Cheng obeys, one is me, the other is you."
Huo Jiatin supplemented.
"Old Six, what do you think?"
The King of North of the River looked at Ao Dagang.
"Third Brother said yesterday, Zhang Lingfeng’s foundation is too thin, managing to hold out for half an hour against their five is already a miracle, against Ming Cheng... ten minutes maybe!"
Ao Dagang laughed.
Seeing the King of North of the River acknowledging Zhang Lingfeng’s strength, he was secretly delighted.
But he also knew Ming Cheng’s strength.
He originally thought Ming Cheng could defeat Zhang Lingfeng within five minutes, but didn’t expect the King of North of the River to believe Zhang Lingfeng could last longer.
Thus, he boldly speculated it could be under ten minutes.
"I think the same as you."
The King of North of the River laughed.
It seemed Ao Dagang also knew Zhang Lingfeng’s Sea of Consciousness Value, otherwise, why would he estimate the same time? Apparently, Ao Dagang had Zhang Lingfeng deliberately conceal his strength before.
No wonder he agreed that as long as Zhang Lingfeng held out for thirty minutes against a siege, he could enjoy the same resource subsidies as Ming Cheng, representing Jiangbei Province in the national exam together.
Old Six is indeed Old Six.
Ao Dagang smiled without speaking, secretly relieved. He still trusted the King of North of the River’s insight, though he had worried that Zhang Lingfeng might not last half an hour, now it seemed there should be no problem.
Ming Cheng maintained a calm expression, but internally never thought Zhang Lingfeng could hold out for ten minutes against him, yet Huo Jiatin beside him frowned, knowing the King of North of the River’s insight couldn’t be wrong. Could it be, Zhang Lingfeng had some unknown trump card?
"Begin!"
At this moment.
The command was given, and the five led by Yan Qiu simultaneously attacked Zhang Lingfeng.
