56: Level 10 Mental Strength

"Match five: Hai City Team, Zhou Xiaogu, wins!"

Teacher Gu never imagined that, although she knew it was a guaranteed win, it would end so quickly!

One second!

It actually ended the battle in one second!

When both sides entered the arena, she had only just looked at the male contestant's profile.

The man was named Xiang Taiichiro, the strongest contestant of the Guicheng Team; not only was his Martial Skill level the highest.

His overall strength was also No. 1 in Guicheng No. 1 High School!

The basic Martial Skill he learned was even more defense-oriented: the Luomen Shield Technique!

Facing Zhou Xiaogu, although Teacher Gu knew Xiang Taiichiro was bound to lose, she didn't expect him to lose so quickly!

The students watching the match also, after a brief silence, erupted into cheers like a volcanic eruption.

"Too strong! Senior Zhou is truly too strong!"

"I've watched this person's previous matches; his name is Xiang Taiichiro."

"His Luomen Shield Technique is performed with such mastery, offering almost impenetrable defense."

"Yet in front of Senior Zhou, he couldn't even block a single strike!"

"It's not that I'm favoring Senior Zhou, but although Chen Du from the Liangcheng Team is very formidable."

"But judging by their performance, Senior Zhou completely crushes Chen Du!"

This student's voice resonated with many people.

Many people chimed in:

"Yeah, I was actually worried that Senior Zhou would lose earlier."

"Now that I think about it, I was truly a frog at the bottom of a well!"

...

Preparation Area.

Ling Yun was sitting next to Chen Du; that scene just now hadn't escaped his eyes.

But because it was too unbelievable, he asked:

"Chen Du, could it be that you..."

"Yes, it is exactly as you think, Teacher."

Chen Du used the most understated words, changing Ling Yun's expression.

From confusion to shock, and finally to disbelief!

The first round of the match ended there, and the second round began immediately.

It was a seamless transition, giving the contestants no extra rest time at all.

According to Zhou Cheng, in future matches, big or small, they would try to simulate reality as much as possible.

This is the trend; all nine major ecological zones are the same.

Do you think that outside, alien civilizations will wait for you to recover your stamina?

Perhaps in movies, there will be a 1v1 man-to-man battle.

But in reality, they will take advantage of your illness to take your life, rushing up and finishing you off with two strikes!

According to the System's process prompts, a challenger would first be drawn from the five contestants who advanced to the second round.

The challenger would fight the other four in succession; the winner gets 2 points, and the loser loses 1 point.

That is to say, if you lose one match, you can only obtain a maximum of 5 points.

If you win all matches, you get 8 points and become the champion, impossible to be surpassed, while the remaining people continue to compete for the subsequent rankings.

The large screen above jumped rapidly, and the names of the five contestants scrolled like they were in a washing machine.

Finally, it settled on the name with the highest popularity.

Zhou Xiaogu!

"Senior Zhou is the first challenger!"

"Haha, it looks like the champion is about to be decided."

"I'm already looking forward to seeing Senior Zhou sweep all four!"

Because the commentary for the previous match was too short, the commentators were not swapped for this round.

Teacher Gu continued to provide the commentary!

Zhou Xiaogu was seen holding a long staff in one hand, slowly entering the arena.

Her hair tips swayed slightly in the air, appearing agile and lively.

Her jet-black, lustrous long hair was tied high into a spirited and neat high ponytail.

Just standing there in the arena, she had a gravitational pull like a celestial body, attracting the eyes of everyone around.

The order of the challenge was decided by the challenger; Zhou Xiaogu's lips curled into an arc.

"The first contestant I want to challenge is, from the Liangcheng Team, Chen Du!"

The voice was not loud, but it had a magic that made it hard to forget.

This was not any special skill, just pure beauty!

Hearing this, Chen Du's expression remained unchanged as he stepped into the arena with Ling Yun.

The weapon Zhou Xiaogu used today was not dual daggers, but a long staff; this was also her true weapon.

Although dual daggers could also unleash 100% of First Order power, using a weapon that matches the basic Martial Skill would be stronger.

The "stronger" here does not refer to greater power, but stronger overall performance.

Chen Du was not surprised by Zhou Xiaogu's choice, or perhaps looking at her Move of insta-killing Xiang Taiichiro in the last round.

Chen Du had already guessed this result.

This woman was extremely powerful and confident!

Especially when standing opposite her, that sense of oppression was particularly intense!

The students in the arena watched the two entering, holding their breath.

This was the third round of the Hundred Cities Championship, the second stage.

It was also the moment when the final suspense would be unveiled.

Between Zhou Xiaogu and Chen Du, who was truly stronger!

Zhou Xiaogu's cheering was indeed overwhelming compared to Chen Du's, but after all, Chen Du also possessed a 100% limit Martial Skill!

Those who said Zhou Xiaogu was guaranteed to win were either fans or had lost their minds!

The rhythm of the match was fast; just three seconds after both sides entered the arena, a "beep" sound was heard.

The moment the match began, Zhou Xiaogu's Martial Skill index on the large screen soared directly to 100%!

"Martial Skill fully activated?! Is Zhou Xiaogu trying to insta-kill Chen Du right from the start!"

Teacher Gu pushed up the rimless glasses on the bridge of her nose and said loudly.

At this moment, shadows of the staff filled the sky, gathering together like a torrent, attacking Chen Du.

Is this the meaning of the limit?

Chen Du thought to himself, only by experiencing it personally could one feel the extraordinary nature of this Move.

The meaning of the limit is a metaphysical force; it attaches to the four styles, sublimating them.

And this Move before him was the Saint King Staff Technique, the form after the fourth style was sublimated.

Flooding the Thousand Armies!

It was also the very Move that Zhou Xiaogu used to insta-kill Xiang Taiichiro in the last match!

The shadows of the staff in the sky finally converged into one, carrying the might to destroy cities and River Severing, smashing fiercely towards Chen Du.

Clang!

"Hmm?"

"Zhou Xiaogu's attack actually missed?!"

Teacher Gu looked at the long staff that landed beside Chen Du and asked in confusion.

Then she immediately discovered something.

"No! It's the Flowing Light Sword Technique, third style: Clear Wind Beneath the Trees!"

"Chen Du used the sword edge to deflect the power of the Saint King Staff Technique's fourth style!"

"But to deflect that level of power..."

When Teacher Gu said this, she immediately thought of something and suddenly looked up.

"100%!"

"Chen Du's Martial Skill level has also reached the First Order limit!"

At this moment, someone suddenly discovered something.

Rubbing their eyes repeatedly, and after confirming again and again, they looked ahead with slightly red eyes and asked in confusion.

"Strange, it seems like Chen Du is wrapped in something blue?"

"You saw it too?"

"I thought I was the only one seeing things!"

At this moment, in the ordinary seats.

Zhou Cheng and the two teachers from Qilin Martial Arts University were all looking at the arena with serious expressions.

You Zhong and Peng Fei looked at each other, and both nodded with great tacit understanding.

Peng Fei took a deep breath:

"I wasn't wrong before; it's Level 10 Mental Energy!"

"Chen Du's Soul has already advanced into a Martial Soul!"
