Martial Artist: Stronger by Coasting Along-Chapter 331 - 82: Everyone Falls, No One Advances

At this moment, despite appearing to be in a heated exchange, he was actually waiting for the best opportunity to deliver a decisive blow to resolve the battle with Lin Zhenliang.

The observers saw Lin Zhenliang, appearing invincible and formidable, with his Fist Technique continuously pushing forward like a beast towards Zhang Lingfeng, yet failing to break through Zhang Lingfeng’s Spear Technique defense.

Zhang Lingfeng seemed to be constantly retreating, but his defense was solid as fortresses, and he was noticeably faster, with his Long Spear continuously piercing towards Lin Zhenliang.

If not for Lin Zhenliang’s advantage in Power of Dharma.

Perhaps he would have already been defeated.

"The intel was wrong! Zhang Lingfeng not only possesses Three-Line Spear Intent but has also awakened an Advanced Bloodline Power, otherwise, such speed would be impossible!"

"Bloodline Power, Five Elements Wind Leopard!"

"He even opened the Sixth Layer of Dharma Aspect, contrary to the intelligence which claimed he might have opened the Fifth Layer of Dharma Aspect."

"Damn it, break it for me!"

Lin Zhenliang, unable to break through for a long time, grew increasingly frustrated.

Finally, at this moment, he couldn’t control himself and released his Spiritual Realm.

His Spiritual Realm resonates with the Earth Element, causing winds and sands to swirl during his Fist Technique, making the ground beneath him feel like a pool of mud, affecting Zhang Lingfeng’s speed.

It made Zhang Lingfeng feel as though he was stepping on muddy ground.

He even felt as if the earth was churning with mud and sand, trying to imprison his feet.

"Boom!"

Zhang Lingfeng stomped hard on the ground. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

His physical fitness, initially around 518.0, seemed to suddenly improve and evolve in an instant, exceeding 550.0.

His speed and power surged swiftly.

He easily freed himself from Lin Zhenliang’s realm, his speed increasing instead of decreasing.

"How could this be?"

"Isn’t this the Spiritual Realm?"

"Why did his speed and power suddenly increase, what’s going on?"

Lin Zhenliang was completely puzzled.

He didn’t sense any resonance between Zhang Lingfeng’s body and Heaven and Earth, but saw with his own eyes the sudden leap in Zhang Lingfeng’s physical fitness.

This bizarre phenomenon left him bewildered.

At this moment, Zhang Lingfeng’s Spear Technique broke through his Fist Technique defense, with the Long Spear repeatedly striking his chest. Though he relied on Power of Dharma to withstand these strikes, it was to the point where his face turned red, feeling as if his chest would explode.

"Pan Keming, where the hell are you!"

Finally, he couldn’t control himself and shouted.

The voice seemed to echo into Snake Valley, rumbling over Spiritual Snake Island.

"Come quickly and help me!"

Lin Zhenliang shouted with all his might.

"Boom!"

Zhang Lingfeng’s Long Spear continuously swept, gaining the upper hand through Combat Power and physical fitness, not only breaking Lin Zhenliang’s Fist Technique but also causing Lin Zhenliang to howl miserably.

"Coming!"

Pan Keming’s voice quickly echoed.

He appeared unwilling.

Was close to killing Ming Cheng.

Suddenly hearing Lin Zhenliang’s plea for help, he initially thought Lin Zhenliang had angered the masses and was under attack by many, but upon arriving, he found Lin Zhenliang suppressed by Zhang Lingfeng, miserably howling with chaotic Fist Technique, relying only on Dharma Aspect for defense.

If he didn’t come, Lin Zhenliang would be eliminated.

In desperation, without caring for anything else, he could only quickly charge into the battlefield to join forces against Zhang Lingfeng.

Unfortunately, with a Combat Power less than 2000.0, he couldn’t withstand even a few strikes from Zhang Lingfeng, easily breaking his defense with two consecutive sweeps.

And he didn’t have Dharma Aspect like Lin Zhenliang.

Unable to form a protective force like Gaseous Armor on his fists, so these two strikes not only caused his Dharma Aspect to collapse but also rapidly deprived him of fighting capability.

"Jiangnan Province must have Martial Dao students entering the third round!"

At the critical moment, Lin Zhenliang abandoned Pan Keming and fled alone toward Snake Valley.

He had already slain a Vitality Realm Snake Demon King, over twenty Bone Realm Snake Demons, and two Dirt Realm Snake Demons. By killing a few more Bone Realm Snake Demons or another Dirt Realm Snake Demon, he could successfully advance to the third round.

His body would swiftly disappear from Spiritual Snake Island.

To eliminate other province’s Martial Dao students, the three of them delayed completing their tasks, intending to wipe out most potential threats before entering Snake Valley to slaughter Snake Demons, but unexpectedly encountered a setback at Zhang Lingfeng’s hands.

If he didn’t leave now, it would be too late.

"You..."

Pan Keming, furious to the extreme, yet Lin Zhenliang was correct; Jiangnan Province cannot have no Martial Dao students advancing to the third round. When participating in the national exam, the five of them had guaranteed this to Zheng Ningbo and the Zheng Family masters.

In the face of crisis, even if sacrificing himself, Pan Keming had to ensure Lin Zhenliang’s advancement.

However, he only managed to utter the word "you" before his voice was cut off by Zhang Lingfeng’s Long Spear, piercing through his chest, turning his organs into a mess, and his body flung toward Ming Cheng.

"Bang!"

Ming Cheng, covered in bloodstains, was almost torn apart by Pan Keming. Seeing Pan Keming fall in front of him, he quickly stepped forward while Pan Keming’s body hadn’t faded away, stomping hard on Pan Keming’s face then kicking viciously at him below the belt.

Seizing the opportunity to reclaim some advantage.

Thus, on Spiritual Snake Island, the Jiangnan Province’s hopeful to assault the third round was left solely to Lin Zhenliang.

This unexpected reversal left Zheng Ningbo and others caught off guard, transitioning from previous smugness to looking deathly pale, nervously watching Lin Zhenliang’s escape trajectory, internally shouting faster, faster, faster, to rush into Snake Valley, kill some Bone Realm Snake Demons, quickly complete the task assessment, leave that cursed place, and avoid dying under Zhang Lingfeng’s spear.

Unfortunately, if there’s no surprise, surprises will always come.

With Zhang Lingfeng’s physical fitness reaching 550.0, his speed skyrocketed, combined with Bloodline Power being Five Elements Wind Leopard, swiftly killing Pan Keming, almost unaffected by him.

And Lin Zhenliang, already in panic, was quickly caught up by Zhang Lingfeng despite initially running ahead.

Moreover, Zhang Lingfeng was a Mental Telekinesis Master, capable of riding wooden planks and other objects for Sky Flight.

On the rugged, perilous terrain of Spiritual Snake Island, catching up with Lin Zhenliang was hardly a challenge.

"Mr. Zhao, if you can persuade Zhang Lingfeng to spare Lin Zhenliang, allowing him to reach the third round, Jiangnan Province is willing to exchange for Cultivation Resources, whatever you desire, just say the word."

Unable to control himself, Zheng Ningbo rose to speak.

"For Mr. Zheng’s sake, I shall try." Ao Dagang promptly stood and shouted towards the screen, "Ling Feng, halt, stop now!"

"Pfft!"

Zhang Lingfeng, unaffected, locked onto Lin Zhenliang with his Spear Technique.

With Lin Zhenliang’s Fist Technique and Fist Intent losing their advantage, he seemed utterly useless; merely two strikes collapsed his defense, the protective force penetrated by Zhang Lingfeng, followed by another strike through his chest, churning it into a mess, finally a last strike, exploding his head, turning it into a mist of blood.

Thus, full of confidence, ready to use any means for Cultivation Resources, wishing to trample all fourth-tier provinces underfoot, Jiangnan Province, this national exam, all Martial Dao students stopped at the second round, none advancing to the third round.

In contrast, the generally underestimated Jiangbei Province seemed to have two Martial Dao students possibly advancing to the third round.
