Nine Revolutions Star Transformation-Chapter 268 - 277: Wei Qun Successfully Clears the Stage
Although Chu Linfeng appeared relaxed on the surface, he was actually very worried. Wei Qun’s strength hadn’t been personally seen by him, but knowing he could only advance fifty meters in the Gravity Chamber showed he was indeed not very strong.
Wei Qun stopped in front of the giant bell, then took out his sword from his Storage Belt, turned around, glanced in Chu Linfeng’s direction, and began preparing to unleash his strongest attack.
"Brother Long, do you think Brother Wei can pass this time?" Luo Er Mu approached Chu Linfeng and said.
Chu Linfeng felt an indescribable feeling towards Luo Er Mu, who was disguised as a man among them for unknown purposes. If she was truly applying to be a Royal Guard, Chu Linfeng did not believe it at all.
This woman’s identity and strength were both extremely mysterious, and she was very cautious in her speech and conduct. When faced with questions about her secrets, she often brushed them off, making it hard for people to figure her out.
"Do you think he can pass? I believe he can." Chu Linfeng replied.
"The rebound force of this giant bell is indeed terrifying, but it isn’t unsolvable. As long as you’re fast, after attacking the bell you can immediately strike again to counteract the rebound force." Luo Er Mu said.
Chu Linfeng was a bit speechless; this guy was completely off-topic, answering a question with a reply entirely unrelated.
However, Luo Er Mu’s words made Chu Linfeng’s heart move; perhaps this was a solution, but achieving it wouldn’t be easy.
The first attack had already exhausted all his strength. Wanting to attack again was simply beyond his capability, nor was his speed fast enough, unless the two strikes occurred sequentially. However, this seemed impossible to achieve.
"Can you do it?" Chu Linfeng asked, since this guy surely had a reason for saying this.
"Look, Wei Qun has started his attack!" Luo Er Mu said with a smile, ignoring Chu Linfeng’s question.
Chu Linfeng glared at Luo Er Mu, then also looked at Wei Qun’s attack, thinking this guy dared to mislead him; he must let Luo Er Mu experience the taste of being deceived in the future.
Wei Qun closed his eyes tightly, and slowly, a fiery red glow emerged on his sword, flames continuously flickering on it.
Unexpectedly, this kid also comprehended the Fire Element. Truly, one shouldn’t judge by appearance, Chu Linfeng thought to himself.
Wei Qun then raised his long sword imbued with Star Power and Fire Element. His eyes suddenly opened, he leaped up, and spun 360 degrees in the air, then shouted, "Heaven-Opening Slash!"
A dragon-like roar emanated from his sword, followed by a sword aura over two meters long slicing towards the giant bell, sending a thunderous sound into everyone’s ears.
The spatial vibration was highly pronounced; Chu Linfeng never expected this guy to have such attack power, worrying himself in vain for a long time.
The massive rebound force threw him into the air, but because he was airborne, the rebound force he felt wasn’t too strong. He followed the force, flipped several times in midair, and landed steadily on the ground.
At this time, Wei Qun appeared somewhat pale but wasn’t greatly injured, which surprised everyone because he was the least visibly harmed among those so far.
"Duration: forty-two seconds! Not bad! Knowing how to leverage airtime is quite promising!" Luo Ping said at this time.
Luo Er Mu looked at Wei Qun in shock, then said to Chu Linfeng, "This kid is actually a master, yet he could only reach fifty meters?"
"That’s normal, I had him do that. It’s a pretty good performance and should be considered as passing." Chu Linfeng said with a smile.
At this moment, Wei Qun walked over, beaming with joy and said, "Brother Long, did I give you a surprise? I was worried this move couldn’t be executed, and it went so smoothly!"
"You punk have such strong skills—making me worry for no reason. It was indeed a surprise, a big surprise." Chu Linfeng laughed.
"Brother Wei, you’re celebrating too soon. My score will definitely surpass yours!" Luo Er Mu said.
Wei Qun looked at Luo Er Mu and smiled, "That’s for sure. You’re the Celestial Martial Realm expert who can advance seventy-five meters; how could I compare?"
"Alright, let’s go, there’s nothing else worth seeing here; let’s go rest!" Chu Linfeng said, then turned to leave.
"Brother Long, will you come to see my attack tomorrow?" Luo Er Mu asked on the way back.
"Do you want me to watch?" Chu Linfeng asked, daring to deceive him twice—this time was an opportunity.
"Whether you come or not! Don’t say you don’t consider me a friend." Luo Er Mu said, then walked aside.
"Brother Long, what’s with this guy?" Wei Qun asked, feeling puzzled.
"I don’t know either. This girl has always been quirky; perhaps her menopause arrived early and she’s acting crazy. Just ignore it."
"Are you going tomorrow?" Wei Qun asked.
"No, tomorrow I’ll sleep well to prepare for the day after passing the test."
...
After returning, Chu Linfeng stayed in his room, contemplating the method Luo Er Mu mentioned—fast consecutive attacks to counteract the rebound force with the final strike.
He spent an entire day in the room without any progress, which made Chu Linfeng quite frustrated. Simply executing moves without using Chaos Qi was easy, but performing them truly was a different scenario.
"Lin Feng, you can use Dual Heart to attack. Use your right hand to unleash the Fifth Form, the most powerful, then follow with the Third Form using your left hand. This way, you can achieve it. The key is how you can use Dual Heart to master this Martial Skill," Sword Spirit said upon seeing Chu Linfeng making no progress.
Chu Linfeng had actually considered Dual Heart Use, but now time was tight, and if the Chaos Qi was excessively depleted, it couldn’t be replenished in such a short time.
Remembering how he combined Heart Sword, Chu Linfeng had a slight sense of it: it required complete concentration, shedding all distractions, and full trust in his two hands to achieve it.
The current situation was somewhat different, but overall similar. Once mastering this move, it would be a heaven-defying presence; when locked in attack power with others, having another unexpected strike appear could seriously injure even someone several realms above him.
With his comprehension, Chu Linfeng suddenly understood the principle behind it, and immediately began practicing Dual Heart Use in his mind...
Only when Wei Qun’s voice from outside was heard did Chu Linfeng stop and walk out of the room, seeing Wei Qun and Luo Er Mu standing outside. He smiled and asked, "Er Mu, how was yesterday’s result?"
"Haha, the score was not ideal—only fifty-nine seconds; my position in the top three might be at risk." Luo Er Mu said with a smile.
"Fifty-nine seconds?" Chu Linfeng was startled by the number.
"Brother Long, he’s deceiving you; he actually plans it for today. Yesterday he specially tried to fool you into watching, but you didn’t fall for it, and it made him sulk for half the day!" Wei Qun immediately said.
"There’s still this matter? Er Mu, you’re quite sneaky. After it ends, I’ll settle account with you! Let’s go!" Chu Linfeng glared at Luo Er Mu then started walking towards the passage place...
