192: What can I do, you say?
Chen Du was not talking nonsense.
Previously, in the Forest of Wolves, to maximize his chances of winning the championship, Chen Du's thought was to eliminate Wu Zang in the Spirit Realm.
It's a pity he didn't encounter him then.
Thinking about it now, it's a good thing he didn't encounter him!
If he really had, he would have been eliminated then; to be pessimistic, he might not even be able to come to Qilin Martial Arts University now!
"Eliminate me?"
"By you?"
Wu Zang was first startled by the words, then burst out laughing:
"Hahaha!"
"I didn't think you looked so honest, but your tone is even crazier than mine!"
"Do you know what kind of competition this is?"
"This is the Three-School Joint Martial Arts Competition, the most top-tier in the entire civilization..."
"I defeated Zhou Xiaogu in Hai City's Hundred Cities Championship."
Chen Du suddenly interrupted, speaking calmly.
His tone was calm and natural, like opening one's mouth to eat, or breathing in and out.
"Impossible!"
"In the Hundred Cities Championship, how could anyone possibly defeat Zhou Xiaogu!"
Wu Zang exclaimed, clearly disbelieving Chen Du's words.
Chen Du was not surprised by this; the Hundred Cities Championship was not a public event, and even disallowed recording and broadcasting.
Only those present knew.
Wu Zang, after experiencing Zhou Xiaogu's first-tier peak Martial Skill that day, directly abandoned his sword and left the arena.
He clearly went straight back, so it was normal for him not to know the results of the competition.
As for his usual words and actions, he obviously didn't have many friends.
Coupled with his formidable strength, even if his classmates knew the final results of the competition, they wouldn't dare mention the Hundred Cities Championship in front of him.
Fearing they might enrage this lion.
"Not only that, I also took first place again in the Seven Regions Genius Battle, from which you were thrown out!"
Chen Du smiled slightly, continuing to rub salt in the wound.
Given Wu Zang's personality, Chen Du wouldn't be surprised even if he hadn't watched the Seven Regions Genius Battle.
"You want to eliminate me, huh?"
"Then I'd like to see what you can do to me?"
Wu Zang had already entered a battle state, Chen Du's words going in one ear and out the other, like an eagle targeting a rabbit on the Surface.
He narrowed his eyes, observing Chen Du, and in the next moment, he suddenly moved.
As if he had found Chen Du's weakness, he held his warhammer with his right hand and leaped high into the air.
"Behold my Cape Hammer Technique!"
The warhammer at this moment seemed magnified, like a small hill, smashing towards Chen Du.
Chen Du had anticipated this; he tightly gripped his longsword and swung an upward strike, a move of the lower defeating the higher.
Seeing this, Wu Zang's mouth curved slightly, secretly mocking Chen Du's arrogance.
He dared to clash head-on with his warhammer using a sword!
And he even chose the moment when the warhammer's power was at its greatest!
He was practically asking for death!
Bang!
The sword and hammer collided, producing a huge clang of metal.
The yellow sand around them inexplicably exploded with a "bang."
"Nani!"
Wu Zang was startled by the power coming from the sword, directly blurting out an "Old Ancestor's Language."
The so-called Old Ancestor's Language refers to the languages of various countries during the Old Era, when the form of nations still existed.
Chen Du, well-versed in history and literature, knew that "Nani" was the language of the Unmoving Sun Nation in the Old Era.
It means "what."
In the High Martial Civilization, where the national form disintegrated and the choice was made to continue existing as a civilization.
Since it was unified, the language naturally had to be the same.
After careful consideration, everyone decided to choose a very difficult language to learn as the language of civilization's continuation.
That was the language of the Dragon Nation!
Although Dragon Language was not easy to learn, it had a unique advantage.
That is, it could clearly express all things in this world, with any emotion, in any form.
This was a magical language that could derive an affirmation from three negations!
The Unmoving Sun Language of the Unmoving Sun Nation had also wanted to compete with Dragon Language at the time.
But it only had a very rich historical record for words like "ah," "no," "stop," and so on.
While every character in Dragon Language had an allusion!
It could be said that every character was a living legend!
Although Dragon Language was difficult to learn, Chen Du's ancestors were from the Dragon Nation, so he felt very adapted to it from a young age.
Chen Du had seen words like "Nani" in elementary school textbooks; it belonged to a dialect.
To blurt it out subconsciously showed that Wu Zang was someone who did not forget his roots!
"Impossible!"
"Why is your strength so strong!?"
Wu Zang exclaimed, his forehead and arms now bulging with veins, and sweat drenched his back the moment of impact.
The power coming from the sword far exceeded his expectations.
Conversely.
Chen Du also felt Wu Zang's power from that warhammer through his longsword.
The opponent's Life Strength was approximately Level 12.5, half a level higher than his own.
His Martial Skill even surpassed the first-tier peak but had not reached the second-tier, being in the same Fusion state as Chen Du.
The Cape Hammer Technique just now incorporated both the first form: Chaotic Cape Hammer and the second form: Guanyin's Tears.
And Chen Du's single sword strike incorporated the Flowing Light Sword Technique's first form: Draw a Circle on the Ground as a Prison, second form: Golden Drums Fill the Sky, and third form: Clear Wind Beneath the Trees.
All three forms were integrated into it!
In terms of Martial Skill, Chen Du was even better.
As for Life Strength, although Wu Zang was 0.5 levels higher than him, Chen Du's Mystic Treasure count was five!
Wu Zang was only a B-grade contract with a standard Martial Skill; the number of Mystic Treasures he Awakened naturally was only two.
And Chen Du's was five!
That was one Kun-fold more than Wu Zang!
The basic strength increase corresponding to two Mystic Treasures is 20%, while five Mystic Treasures is 80%, a difference of three full Wu Zangs!
The battle between Martial Artists, to put it plainly, is a clash of strength; strong power from high Life Strength is certainly good, but your other configurations must also keep up.
"Ah...!"
Accompanied by Wu Zang's exclamation, in the instant the two engaged in close combat.
The entire world seemed to stand still for it, time seemingly frozen for a full second.
Just after this suffocating second, a crisp sound of "crack" was heard.
The incredibly heavy warhammer in Wu Zang's hand was like a fragile branch.
It was mercilessly chopped away by the unremarkable longsword in Chen Du's hand.
The astonishing power from the longsword instantly destroyed his physical balance.
Wu Zang's body flew backward like a kite with a broken string.
With a muffled "thud," his back slammed heavily onto the cold and rough yellow sand, kicking up a cloud of cold yellow mist.
At the same time, the warhammer that had been struck away.
Also fell almost simultaneously not far from Wu Zang's right hand, hitting the ground with a dull thud.
Wu Zang was somewhat disoriented by this sudden blow, but his battle instincts quickly brought him back to his senses.
He sprang up from the sand-covered Surface with a carp jump.
His eyes fixed on the warhammer within reach, extending his right hand to retrieve his weapon.
However, before his hand could touch the warhammer, a sharp whoosh sound was heard.
In the blink of an eye, a gleaming longsword was already steadily held at his neck.
At this moment, Chen Du looked at the somewhat disheveled Wu Zang with a slight smile.
That smile was comparable to a male idol's smile in a dating app:
"What can I do, you tell me?"
