85: I accept
Since Chen Du participated in the Hundred Cities Championship in Hai City, barring any surprises.
In this Seven Regions Genius Battle, he would also represent the Giant Bear Domain to compete against the other six domains.
Chen Fu had been paying attention to this point beforehand.
However, videos of the Hundred Cities Championship could not be recorded, so he did not know what Chen Du looked like.
But fortunately, all contestants would have their identities verified after arriving at the Giant Bear Training Camp.
Afterward, they would receive a set of exclusive competition attire, with the contestant's name on the tag.
Chen Fu only learned on the way there that there would be three levels of grouping: Grand General, Middle General, and Junior General.
Since Chen Du's Life Strength was not high, he would naturally be in the same group as him.
Earlier, when passing by the other, he had specifically noted Chen Du's life aura and found it inferior to his own.
But thinking about it, it was normal; his own Life Strength of 8.9 was the ceiling of the Junior General Group.
As for Chen Du, he was merely a late bloomer in terms of Life Strength, belonging to the chasers.
"If you're not convinced, then fight a match; whoever wins is the captain of the Junior General Group."
Zheng Wenwu, as someone who had spent years in the Border City fighting against alien civilizations, was very straightforward about such matters.
If you're not convinced, then fight!
Everyone here was a Genius, the kind that only appears once every few dozen cities.
In this age group of arrogance, few would truly submit to others.
Chen Fu saying that Chen Du's future potential was greater than his own was merely polite talk.
This included the other geniuses present; they all thought the same in their hearts!
Zheng Wenwu had once been a Genius of the three major universities himself, so he understood these students' thoughts all too well.
After speaking, he took the two of them and found a random open space within the training camp.
"There are no rules, but I require you to fight for your lives. This way, I can better understand your strength."
"As for safety issues."
After saying this, Zheng Wenwu used his right thumb to point at his chin:
"I am safety!"
Chen Du gripped his long staff, looking at his opponent with a serious expression.
In reality, Chen Fu's analysis was not wrong.
He only had the strength of a quasi-A-Rank contract, having completed only one of the three conditions.
The reason he was able to get an A-Rank contract was because of those two teachers from the Qilin Martial Arts University special admissions office.
They judged that he had a high probability of reaching A-Rank, and that the school's appeal in recruiting students of B-Rank and above was inferior to Black Dragon Martial Arts University and Tianfeng Martial Arts University.
The combination of these two factors allowed Chen Du to obtain this A-Rank intent contract from Qilin Martial Arts University.
But!
No one present knew that his Mental Energy had long since far surpassed everyone else's!
This bout with Chen Fu had to be settled quickly with thunderous momentum.
Chen Du had only been a group leader in class before; although the hierarchy difference was huge, the principle remained the same.
To make these geniuses submit to you.
You have to be stronger than them!
Admiring the strong is human nature!
The reason Black Dragon Martial Arts University had the strongest appeal was because it produced the High Martial Civilization's number one powerhouse, Yan.
Such a graduate.
"Begin!"
With a soft shout from Zheng Wenwu, Chen Du and the other, surrounded by the crowd, moved instantly.
Chen Fu gripped a short blade and charged toward Chen Du, seizing the initiative.
Peak Mortal Saber Technique.
Based on his opponent's stance, Chen Du instantly recognized his basic Martial Skill.
And it was the most straightforward, head-on move of the Peak Mortal Saber Technique.
The third move: Offset Weaknesses with Strengths!
Chen Fu's Martial Skill was at the First-Order Limit, having already achieved the sublimation of the four moves.
Under the sublimation of the Concept of the Limit, the short blade in his hand actually felt like it had lengthened.
Although the opponent had a First-Order Limit Martial Skill, Chen Du was not afraid in the slightest.
He gripped his long staff tightly and instantly executed the second move of the Flowing Light Sword Technique.
Golden Drums Fill the Sky!
Being tough means taking it head-on!
"Taking it head-on?"
Many people on the scene were surprised to see this. Many of them were sword users and naturally knew that swords focused on finesse.
As an A-Rank contract student, Chen Du naturally understood this principle.
Yet he still...
Could he have some other reliance?
A long staff?
Sword Intent?
So that's it; he has already entered the stage of drawing inferences.
And it is even a Concept!
As a B-Rank Genius with a First-Order Limit Martial Skill, Chen Fu instantly grasped Chen Du's Martial Skill level.
According to his understanding, Chen Du's Martial Skill should have only just reached 99% of the First-Order during the Hundred Cities Championship.
Now, he had already crossed the final two thresholds of form and intent that stood between him and the First-Order Limit.
Being able to get an A-Rank contract in advance certainly had its reasons.
However, this was all within Chen Fu's expectations!
This was not the Hundred Cities Championship; the gap in Life Strength could not be bridged!
Moreover, his own Mental Energy was at Level 9!
The advantage is mine!
Chen Fu roared in his heart.
Just as the two engaged in close-quarters combat, a tangible blue light suddenly erupted from Chen Du's body.
"Level 15 Mental Energy?!"
The observing students exclaimed in unison.
"No! The Spiritual Power Attachment presented by Level 15 Mental Energy should be a tangible blue shell."
"His blue light is not yet solid enough!"
"Then it's Level 14!"
In an instant, the surrounding students determined Chen Du's Mental Energy level.
Although it was hard to believe, it was the truth.
A Life Strength of less than Level 9, but Level 14 Mental Energy!
Simply unheard of!
No wonder he could get an A-Rank contract.
Even Zheng Wenwu, who had always been calm and composed, showed a hint of seriousness in his eyes after seeing Chen Du's tangible blue light.
Last night, after finishing extra training in the general Martial Arts Room, Chen Du went back, endured the usual mental torture, and then entered the Crystal Space to hone his Martial Skills.
He took down the ninth wave, which he was already close to clearing, in one go.
Raising his originally Level 13 Mental Energy to Level 14.
Now, as long as he raised it by one more level to reach Level 15, he would have completed one of the three conditions for advancing to a Sky Soaring Warrior.
After Level 10 Mental Energy, Chen Du also realized the difficulty of increasing Mental Energy.
He could now only increase his Mental Energy by 0.1 levels after a week of visualization.
If it weren't for the fact that clearing each wave of monsters in the Crystal Space increased his Mental Energy by 1 level, even with the help of the visualization technique, he might not necessarily have Level 10 Mental Energy by now.
No wonder many Martial Artists spent their whole lives with Mental Energy levels of only 10~12, with no hope of reaching the Sky Soaring stage in this lifetime.
Chen Fu naturally saw Chen Du's change, but there was no turning back now; he couldn't stop!
Clang!
The short blade and long staff collided, and a metallic ringing sound echoed throughout the training camp.
Bang!
Chen Du's strength was so great that it directly knocked the short blade out of Chen Fu's hand.
Striking while the opponent is down has always been Chen Du's combat principle.
Since Zheng Wenwu was nearby, Chen Du naturally had no concerns.
And the other party had also said that it was best to fight for their lives!
Then...
Directly treat Chen Fu as a monster in the Crystal Space!
The moment the opponent's weapon was knocked out of his hand, Chen Du's eyes turned icy, and an aura of killing intent permeated the air.
Whoosh!
Chen Du aimed directly at Chen Fu's right eye socket and executed the fourth move of the Flowing Light: Azure Dragon Thrust!
The head is the fatal weak point of 99.9999% of living creatures, and the hardness of the skull is second only to teeth.
To kill with one blow by piercing through the opponent's head, one must start from the eyes!
This was the experience Chen Du had summarized from his daily real combat in the Crystal Space.
Chen Du's movements were simply too fast, so fast that Chen Fu didn't even react.
The speed here did not just refer to the movements, but the choice and switching between the previous movement and the next.
Almost at the moment the weapon was knocked out of his hand, Chen Du's long staff was already about to reach his eyeball!
This kind of hesitation-free ruthlessness and decisiveness was something Chen Fu, who practiced with Martial Artists every day only until they hit the mark, had not expected.
Out of survival instinct, he was terrified and hurriedly retreated, shouting while reaching out to block:
"Stop!"
"I yield!"
