222: If you don't follow the rules, you can survive.
"Is that the Hand of God's position swap?"
"Not bad. This ability Awakening on you is quite practical."
Gao Zhongwang wasn't very surprised by Chen Du appearing directly behind him.
Although he wasn't very old, he had experienced many battles with the help of his Family.
He had long practiced responding to all kinds of sudden situations.
The Hand of God had very limited use if Awakened in the hands of a Martial Artist with only one or two Mystic Treasures.
It was only truly useful when Awakened in the hands of a Martial Artist with many Mystic Treasures.
This point held true for Gao Zhongwang's Boiling Water Burning Kun as well.
As the number of Mystic Treasures increased, the power of Boiling Water Burning Kun would also grow stronger.
With four Mystic Treasures, Boiling Water Burning Kun could actually shield against an opponent's Mental Energy perception to a certain degree.
It was just that Chen Du's Mental Energy was too high, which was why it had no effect.
Facing the long sword about to strike his neck, Gao Zhongwang was unhurried.
He tossed out one end of the chain held in his right hand. The chain, as if it had a mind of its own, transformed into a "little snake," giving Chen Du's long sword a loving entanglement.
Chen Du's eyes narrowed. He took a step back and quickly withdrew his sword.
This was the charm of chain weapons; they could transform into soft ropes for binding, or into hard spears for piercing.
Immediately after, the two launched into a thrilling imperial city PK.
Chen Du held a razor-sharp long sword, its blade glinting with a cold light under the sunlight.
Gao Zhongwang brandished a heavy and sturdy chain, which spiraled and danced in the air like a roaring Dragon.
When these two weapons clashed, a deafening sound of impact erupted instantly.
Mars splattered everywhere, as dazzling as brilliant fireworks blooming in the night sky.
Each collision carried immense power and impact, causing the surrounding air to churn, forming visible waves of Qi that spread in all directions.
The two went back and forth, neither giving ground, their Moves becoming increasingly fierce and vicious.
The long sword thrust out like a rainstorm, its speed dazzling to the eyes.
The chain, meanwhile, maneuvered with thousands of varied attack methods, bringing with it the sound of whistling gales.
Their figures crossed and weaved in this fierce battle, appearing and disappearing, leaving onlookers unable to keep up.
"Brilliant!"
The detached Black Dragon Commentator commented seriously.
The audience below was also enthralled; they were all the same age, so why were these two so strong?
"They're even more powerful than my cousin who graduated ten years ago!"
In the Black Dragon spectator stands, a certain student said in shock!
Among them, the one who surprised everyone the most was Chen Du. No one expected that when everyone had unanimously assumed Gao Zhongwang was invincible, Chen Du could actually hold his own!
Although they all knew this stalemate was temporary.
There is no strength without reason, and no improvement without cause.
Everyone understood that once the ability of Chen Du's Fifth Secret Treasure faded, the match would be over.
Precisely because of this, many students in the Black Dragon spectator stands, who had no connection to either Chen Du or Gao Zhongwang, supported Chen Du.
This was the psychological effect of sympathizing with the weak, known as empathy.
Facing an invincible person like Gao Zhongwang, everyone subconsciously always hoped for someone who could defeat him to appear.
Of course, Chen Du was certainly not weak; it was just that compared to Gao Zhongwang, he was relatively weaker.
"Go Chen Du! Even though we know you can't win,"
"please deal as much damage as possible to Gao Zhongwang. Our Black Dragon Martial Arts University will be grateful to you!"
"Yes! Yes! Yes!"
"If we win the championship three times in a row, we'll wait for you to come to the celebration banquet before we start eating!"
In the front row.
At this moment, Ma Rui, the Vice-Principal of Tianfeng Martial Arts University, left after seeing an old classmate.
Only Pang Tian Ce and the Vice-Principal of Black Dragon Martial Arts University, Ka Tu, remained.
"This Chen Du from your school is truly impressive."
"Especially the speed of his Martial Skill improvement; it's terrifyingly fast."
"He is much stronger than when he first came in."
Ka Tu said.
"Indeed."
Pang Tian Ce replied, without the overly humble "not at all."
Although Pang Tian Ce looked calm, that was because his position did not allow him to panic easily.
But at this moment, his heart was like a raging sea.
He knew about Chen Du's Life Strength talent; a score of 100, on par with Gao Zhongwang.
However, because his development time was relatively short, he naturally lagged behind in Rank.
But he hadn't expected Chen Du's Martial Skill talent to be this strong as well!
One had to know that back then, because Chen Du had eaten the Zhan Zhan Fruit, he had no way to choose the Dao Enlightenment Fruit.
But after arriving at the First Ecological Zone, when had Chen Du ever experienced recovery from a near-death state?
This meant the effect of the Zhan Zhan Fruit had never been triggered; this was his innate talent!
It seemed that it was due to his original Family that the rise of his Martial Skills had been greatly delayed!
"Although Chen Du is very powerful, even more powerful than I thought, however..."
"He still cannot win!"
Pang Tian Ce naturally supported his own academy's student, but Gao Zhongwang's strength was truly too powerful!
Relying on his seasoned eyes and experience, Pang Tian Ce could already see that in this seemingly evenly matched confrontation, Chen Du was slowly going downhill.
He was not far from defeat!
Perhaps in the next second, he would collapse in an instant, like a suddenly breached levee!
Cold Sand Crystal Land, border, one of the exits.
"Huh?"
"Teacher Karabo, why are you here?"
The person speaking was a third-year student named Dou Er, who was a student Karabo had once taught.
He was an exit inspector.
It was a mission Dou Er had snatched up a few days ago; there was basically nothing to do.
As long as he sat there and registered the Sky Soaring Warriors and students leaving, that was it.
After the competition ended, he could obtain 100 points; it was a cushy job.
Karabo smiled and nodded: "I have come to check the status and locations of the Ice Blast Bear and the Skeletal Toad."
"After all, the freshmen's competition range is only a small area within the Cold Sand Crystal Land."
"I want to prevent these interfering factors from affecting the competition as much as possible."
Dou Er had no doubts about this, nodded, and extended his wristband. "Teacher, please scan it."
Any mission in the High Martial Civilization, regardless of size, was composed of several, dozens, or even hundreds of procedures.
Every step had to be confirmed.
"Haha, I forgot to tell you, this mission of mine was just verbally instructed by Vice-Principal Pang Tian Ce, and it hasn't been written into the mission program yet."
Dou Er smiled and shook his head: "It's fine, Teacher. I can register it here first, then send it up, and just let Principal Pang complete the formalities on his end."
"You can leave directly after scanning; I won't hold you up."
"Dou Er..."
Karabo's voice suddenly deepened.
Puchi!
An arm with a red shell shot out like lightning, piercing Dou Er's left chest on the spot!
It grabbed the heart that was still beating thumping away and pulled it out!
"You..."
Dou Er said with difficulty, his eyes glazing over, the bright red blood constantly bubbling from his mouth like water overflowing from a cup filled to the brim.
"If you weren't so rigid with the rules, you could have lived!"
Karabo said coldly.
Then, in Dou Er's gradually glazing pupils, he squeezed his right hand hard.
With a "squelch," he crushed the heart that was still beating thumping away!
