High Martial Arts: I Awaken a Low-Tier Martial System

Chapter 179 158: The Final Curtain

”Clang! Clang! Clang!”

On the stage, two figures clashed rapidly, like two beams of light.

”Clang!” Shen Changxiʼs wrist turned swiftly, and the sword tip drew a long arc from the shoulder, stabbing consecutively dozens of times, Star Energy shimmering, like Meteor Chasing Moon, at an extremely fast speed.

This is the twelfth form of Red Moon Swordsmanship—

Meteor Chasing Moon!

”Clang!” Jiang Yeʼs wrist trembled violently, the spear tip thrusting hundreds of times in a short moment like a dragon emerging from water.

Each thrust brought forth illusions of light wheels, as if hundreds of small suns burst forth.

This is the Ninth Form of the Great Sun Spear Technique—Hundred Days of Pearls!

”Clang clang clang!” Intense booming sounds echoed.

Although both were using ordinary moves,

the intensity was no less than other peopleʼs Ultimate Techniques clashing.

”This guy, somethingʼs not right.”

Suddenly, Shen Changxi frowned: ”Why does it feel like his attack speed is much faster than before? Did he hide this deeply earlier?”

During the top ten and top five matches, she was watching.

Jiang Yeʼs current attack speed was at least 30% faster than before!

Hiding Ultimate Techniques, hiding trump cards, all these are understandable.

But even hiding something as fundamental as attack speed? Not human.

Just as Shen Changxi was puzzled,

”Clang!!”

Suddenly, Jiang Ye thrust his spear towards Shen Changxiʼs chest.

Shen Changxi counterattacked with her sword.

The next moment, the girl only felt a tremendous force coming at her.

”Stomp stomp!” The terrifying power made her step back continuously.

”Triggered a 50% damage increase?” Jiang Yeʼs eyes flickered, without hesitation, thrusting an even sharper spear glow.

[Beauty Path Chasing]

Attack speed increased by 35%, with a chance of 50% additional damage!

This sudden 50% damage increase effect was not only unexpected for him, but even more so for the opponent.

Usually, there would be a momentary lapse in concentration.

If it were someone else,

they would likely lose their balance in that small instant, exposing a huge flaw.

But how deep is Shen Changxiʼs foundation?

While retreating, she immediately unleashed an even stronger sword form, using force against force, a surge of sword light slashing towards Jiang Ye.

”Clang!”

”Clang! Clang!” The two clashed again, fiercely colliding, crazily impacting each otherʼs bodies.

...

”What a pity, just a little bit!”

”Very good, Jiang Ye actually knows how to use sudden attacks to force Shen Changxi to reveal flaws.”

”Unfortunately, Shen Changxiʼs foundation is too deep, if it were someone else, Jiang Ye might have really defeated them.”

”A move short!”

In the projection space, many teachers shook their heads and sighed.

Just now was indeed the best opportunity for Jiang Ye to seize victory over Shen Changxi.

Unfortunately, Shen Changxi simply didnʼt give a single flaw.

”Shen Changxi is testing Jiang Yeʼs limits.”

”Once sheʼs almost done testing, sheʼll unleash an Ultimate Technique to defeat Jiang Ye.” Chen Yuntian said leisurely.

As Shen Changxiʼs teacher, he knows this student the best.

Without absolute certainty, Shen Changxi usually wonʼt reveal her trump cards.

Even when facing Yun QingʼEr before, she endured until three minutes into the brutal collision of a hundred hammers per second before releasing her Ultimate Technique.

Just to avoid the situation where the Ultimate Technique couldnʼt crush the opponent.

Once an Ultimate Technique is unleashed, it must end the match!

Otherwise, thereʼs a high risk of the opponent overturning the situation.

”Shen Changxi is using her Innate Ability.”

”Second Rank Innate Ability! Is she preparing to unleash her Ultimate Technique?”

”This match is about to end.” The teachers were all fixated on the projection screen.

...

On the stage.

Shen Changxiʼs figure suddenly turned into a shadow, even the freshmen in the audience could barely see clearly.

Innate Ability—Gale Domain!

This ability is divided into three ranks: Swift Movement, Divine Speed, Flowing Light.

What Shen Changxi used was the Second Rank ability ʼDivine Speedʼ.

The next moment, her offensive surged towards Jiang Ye like a gale.

”Whoosh~” Endless sword light, attacking Jiang Ye.

Gale Domain not only amplifies speed, but also attack speed!

”Clang clang clang!” Jiang Ye held his spear to block, creating immense booming sounds, his figure constantly being forced back by the torrents of sword light.

”A Domain, huh? I also have one.”

Suddenly, a gleam flashed in his eyes.

[Observing the finest details: Active effect, greatly enhances sensory acuity, allowing one to see the minutiae of everything, with a chance to spot the opponentʼs weak points. Overuse may lead to mental exhaustion. Lasts 3 minutes, cooldown 1 hour]

In an instant, the endless sword light turned into shadows in his eyes.

”Observing the finest details, this ability.” Jiang Ye thought to himself: ”Not only can it see intricate details like human meridian paths, it can also capture the opponentʼs attack trajectories in battle.”

Jiang Ye immediately caught sight of Shen Changxiʼs location.

”Kill!” He erupted again, the spear tip slicing through the air, like lightning, directly targeting Shen Changxi.

This spear was even faster than before.

The second form of the Great Sun Spear Technique—Proud Sun Across the Sky!

Endless Star Energy, under the spear techniqueʼs Ultimate Technique, concentrated into a dazzling Proud Sun, shooting towards Shen Changxi.

”He can keep up with me?” Shen Changxi was taken aback.

This time was not like before.

In Divine Speed state, her combat style, attack speed, and everything changed dramatically.

Shen Changxi believed that even if Liu Wanxiao came, unless he activated the Second Rank Pulse Domain, he wouldnʼt even be able to touch her shadow.

But Jiang Ye caught up so quickly.

”Swordsmanship · Shattered Star.” Suddenly, Shen Changxi erupted.

A brilliant sword light emerged.

In a finger snap.

It turned into an astonishing sword light, several meters long, sweeping a silver arc in the air.

”Boom!!” Clashing with that Proud Sun.

The terrifying energy waves swept across the stage like the aftermath of a bomb.

A dense white light instantly covered the entire stage.

”Starry Sky Secret Technique?” Jiang Yeʼs eyes narrowed.

The move Shen Changxi had just unleashed was clearly one of the Starry Sky Secret Techniques, only slightly weaker than the previous ʼMoonfallʼ Ultimate Technique.

”Swoosh!” He felt a terrifying force coming, making his entire body roll backward.

”Boom!”

In the next moment, a terrifying energy wave emerged.

A ten-meter-diameter crimson moon wheel tore through the white veil, descending over the entire stage like a falling star.

ʼUltimate Technique · Moonfall.ʼ

A Starry Sky Secret Technique, coupled with the third formʼs Ultimate Technique of Red Moon Swordsmanship.

Also activating the Second Rank Innate Ability.

Shen Changxi obviously threw out all her trump cards to take the match in one fell swoop.

This continuous series of moves was indeed incredibly frightening. If it were the Jiang Ye from three months ago, even if he fought with all his might, he couldnʼt win.

But now...

[Gale Step: Instantly increases speed by 100%, can be actively triggered, lasts 30s, cooldown 3 minutes]

[Martial God Instant Track: Within 100 meters, can ignore any obstacles, instantly move in any direction, cooldown 1 day.]

[Foot Path is also Path: Active effect, enhances foot damage by 50%, lasts 60s, cooldown 10 minutes]

In a flash, Jiang Yeʼs figure suddenly turned into a beam of light.

In just an instant, he appeared behind Shen Changxi.

A glimmer of starlight shone.

At this moment, Jiang Yeʼs entire thigh seemed to be entirely permeated by starlight, sweeping a silver arc across the sky like a starʼs radiance.

Tens of thousands of strands of Star Energy gathered at the tip of his foot and burst forth in that very moment.

Nine Luminaries Star Stepping!

”Boom—” As Jiang Ye kicked towards Shen Changxi, the terrifying moon wheel in the sky fell simultaneously.

In an instant, the entire starry arena was once again shrouded in a dense white light.

Rumble!

The violent tremor resonated throughout the competition space.
