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

Chapter 178 157: Jiang Ye vs. Shen Changxi

The battle between Yun QingʼEr and Shen Changxi did not last long.

It only lasted less than three minutes.

But the intensity far exceeded any previous match!

In this competition, Yun QingʼEr unleashed the most powerful force ever, hundreds of strikes in a second.

Under such a relentless barrage.

Even Liu Wanxiao would most likely be bitterly defeated.

Unfortunately, her opponent was Shen Changxi.

The ultimate technique Shen Changxi exhibited at the end surprised everyone!

Even in the projection space, everyone including Zhu Honglie among the school leadership was astonished.

”The ultimate technique of the third form of the Red Moon Swordsmanship, Moonfall?”

”She understood it so quickly?”

”There are six ultimate techniques in Red Moon Swordsmanship, usually only the Second Break can comprehend the third technique, and only the Third Break can master all six techniques.”

”Incredible.”

”Shen Changxi is only at the Peak of First Break, yet she comprehended the third ultimate technique?” The teachers were all surprised.

Red Moon Swordsmanship is a Profound Tier Upper Grade Swordsmanship.

The power of each of the six ultimate techniques increases exponentially.

The difficulty to comprehend them also increases geometrically!

Keep in mind, itʼs only been three months since the school started.

Shen Changxi comprehending the third ultimate technique? Sheʼs catching up to some of the geniuses in the top ten schools.

”Old Chen.” Even Elder Bai couldnʼt help but ask, ”Your disciple has already comprehended the third technique?”

”Itʼs not that fast.”

”She only comprehended the third technique.” Chen Yuntian shook his head and said, ”The first two techniques are still not mastered.”

”Comprehending the third technique directly?!” Many teachers were startled.

Elder Bai also showed a look of realization.

No wonder.

To comprehend three ultimate techniques in three months would be too exaggerated.

But just comprehending the third technique? That makes sense.

Of course, this is still extremely rare.

After all, not even comprehending the first two techniques but directly comprehending the third? Almost impossible to achieve.

”The third ultimate technique is Shen Changxiʼs trump card.” Chen Yuntian sighed and said, ”She originally planned to use this technique to win the championship in one stroke, but didnʼt expect to show it ahead of time.”

”Yun QingʼEr is a genius too.” Chen Yuntian shook his head in awe.

What kind of luck did Old Zhu have this time?

Accepting Jiang Ye was something, but thereʼs also Yun QingʼEr, who turned out to be so formidable!

”Shen Changxi has already revealed her trump card.”

”Next, letʼs see how Jiang Ye will respond.” The other teachers all looked towards the projection.

”With Shen Changxi having such a powerful ultimate move, considering Jiang Yeʼs previous performance, his chance of winning is almost zero.”

”Does Jiang Ye have any other trump card? I remember he hasnʼt used a Starry Sky Secret Technique yet.”

”That Starry Sky Secret Technique is strong, but compared to Shen Changxiʼs third ultimate technique, itʼs still lacking.”

”Unless he can unleash combat power comparable to the Second Break, otherwise heʼs sure to lose.” The teachers discussed in succession.

Zhu Honglie also looked at the screen, sighing silently.

”Didnʼt expect Old Chen to hide a move, seems the championship is out of reach.”

”Well, Jiang Ye getting second place is already excellent...” Zhu Honglie shook his head slightly, quickly disregarding it.

So what if he doesnʼt win the championship?

After all, itʼs just an internal competition at Penglai University.

When it comes to the Twenty-Fifth School Genius Cup, getting a ranking is the real fame.

...

”Wow~”

In the audience seats, all the newborns were equally astonished.

”Shen Changxi, she comprehended the third ultimate technique?” Liu Wanxiao, who had just returned to the competition space, looked shocked.

”Well.”

”No matter if I can defeat Jiang Ye, itʼs impossible for me to win the championship.” Liu Wanxiao shook his head helplessly.

He deeply knew how terrifying the power of the third ultimate technique is!

Shen Changxi is already far ahead of the current cohort of newborns.

”Jiang Ye is doomed.” Deng Yunfei also shook his head and sighed.

Not far away, Lin Yushu with a big head and pockmarked face also had a serious look: ”Will Brother Jiang win?”

Actually, for Jiang Ye to make it into the top ten already surpassed his expectations.

But now, heʼs already in the top three.

Not striving for the championship would be a pity indeed.

...

The match between Yun QingʼEr and Shen Changxi ended.

”Swish!” Yun QingʼErʼs figure appeared beside Jiang Ye.

”Iʼve already tested her trump card.” Yun QingʼEr looked at him, whispering, ”Now itʼs up to you.”

Jiang Ye was surprised, then nodded to her: ”Thank you.”

At this moment, he understood why she voluntarily lost to him earlier.

Probably she didnʼt want to expose his trump card.

Yun QingʼEr knew sheʼs not Shen Changxiʼs match, so she actively gave her final spot to Jiang Ye.

”I will take first.” Jiang Ye looked at the girl and said earnestly.

”Okay.”

Yun QingʼEr said no more, walking alone to a remote corner, sitting solitarily.

Jiang Ye refocused on the arena, his eyes flashing with determination.

”Third ultimate technique?” Jiang Ye recalled the battle just now.

He knew very well that such power could only be exhibited with the third ultimate technique.

”How to win?” Various thoughts flashed through Jiang Yeʼs mind.

These thoughts eventually converged into a unified belief.

”Win at all costs.”

...

[Penglai Universityʼs 2326th Newborn Competition — Finals]

[Officially begins!]

”Please, Jiang Ye and Shen Changxi, step onto the stage!”

With a stately voice resounding throughout the venue.

Swish~ Swish!

Two figures simultaneously appeared on the starry sky arena.

Choosing weapons.

Jiang Ye still used the Nine-foot Black Dragon Spear.

Shen Changxi, on the other hand, held the Four-foot Silver Frost Longsword, white hair, red eyes, her face like the bright moon, her aura cold and celestial.

”Jiang Ye, that ultimate technique just now.” Shen Changxi touched the long sword with her fair hand, looking calmly at Jiang Ye, ”I originally saved it for you.”

”Oh?”

”Classmate Shen thinks too highly of me.” Jiang Ye smiled slightly.

”You are the top student among the freshmen.” Shen Changxi said indifferently, ”I must pay attention to you.”

”However.”

”No worries.” Shen Changxi smiled lightly, ”Unless you have also mastered the third ultimate technique, otherwise, you are not my match.”

Jiang Ye laughed.

He knew this wasnʼt arrogance from Shen Changxi, mastering the third technique within just three months.

Her strength was indeed far ahead among the current newborns.

Of course, ultimate techniques like these consume a lot of physical energy.

Itʼs unrelated to Star Energy, mainly depends on the physical endurance, similar to a laser cannon needing to cool after multiple firings.

In reality, without rest, after using an ultimate technique, one would need at least half an hour to recover.

However, here in the Virtual Starry Sky world.

After a match ends, one can fully recover simply by refreshing status.

Next, Shen Changxi can still unleash that ultimate technique without restraint.

”Who is strong and who is weak, fighting will tell.”

Jiang Ye said with a smile: ”Letʼs start!”

Shen Changxi said no more.

”Woo!” She placed the long sword behind her, slightly closed her eyes, awaiting the match to begin.

... Ten seconds later.

[Match begins]

Swoosh!

At the moment the subtitles subsided, Shen Changxi suddenly erupted, her figure turning into a phantom.

An incredibly fierce sword light came crashing down on Jiang Ye.

At the same moment, Jiang Ye also exploded forth.

Thousands upon thousands of Star Energy erupted like underground magma, running through his meridians, unleashing a terrifying Life Magnetism.

”Boom!” An incredibly terrifying Martial Arts Qi Spirit erupted like a volcanic eruption!

At this moment, Jiang Ye truly held nothing back and fully unleashed his power.

The decisive battle, erupted!
