292: Zhang Kang's outbreak

"Black Particle Power!"

As Ji Tai Mei's words fell, countless black particles instantly entered Zhang Kang's body, merging with him.

And in just a few breaths, Zhang Kang's body underwent a world-shaking transformation.

Feeling the change in his body, Zhang Kang was momentarily stunned.

Just now, his back no longer ached, his legs no longer hurt, he wasn't spitting blood anymore, and even his injuries had recovered significantly!

Zhang Kang was overjoyed. He struggled to stand up, picked up the longsword beside him, and looked at Deng Taiyi again.

Across from him, feeling the changes in Zhang Kang's body, Deng Taiyi's expression also shifted, his gaze slightly narrowed.

At this moment, Zhang Kang seemed different...

Above the golden platform, everyone from Profound Weapon Pavilion looked down with serious expressions.

The scene just now was too bizarre.

Zhang Kang, who had been beaten black and blue by Deng Taiyi and was about to concede, had mysteriously gotten back on his feet under the miraculous cultivation method displayed by Ji Tai Mei...

Moreover, judging by his aura, he seemed much stronger than before!

What was going on?

At this time, the ordinary people around, seeing Zhang Kang get up again, began to exclaim.

But the powerhouses on the high platform unconsciously turned their gaze towards Ji Tai Mei...

Could that inconspicuous, thin man be a cultivator with auxiliary abilities?

Some cultivators, while not strong themselves, specialize in assisting or healing others, greatly enhancing the combat power of others!

For example, certain Medical Immortals are known for their recovery methods; some powerful Medical Immortals can even bring the dead back to life and regrow flesh on bones!

Another example is Hua Qingyan and Hua Jingrou from Mu Wuchen's System World. Their Hundred Flowers Sacred Body, if it came to a fight, might not compare to cultivators specializing in offensive paths, but when it comes to recovery ability and affinity for spiritual plants, ordinary cultivators cannot even hope to match them!

There are myriad Great Daos; such individuals are equally rare and sought after!

But such individuals often also require the protection of powerhouses!

For example, Su Meier's Heavenly Fragrance Body once excelled in illusion and charm arts.

But before she matured, she was a literal cauldron physique, very susceptible to malicious individuals...

Ji Tai Mei on the stage was clearly similar.

At this moment, after using "Black Particle Power," Ji Tai Mei had collapsed weakly onto the ground, coughing with a pale face, as if he were ill.

Beside him, the triumphant Zhang Kang merely glanced casually at Ji Tai Mei, who had just saved him, then paid him no further attention and turned his head away.

Feeling the continuous surge of power within his body, Zhang Kang only felt terrifyingly strong now.

He looked at Deng Taiyi with an excited expression, slowly raising the sword in his hand!

And across from him, Deng Taiyi also felt the threat from Zhang Kang and gripped the long spear in his hand with a solemn expression...

Deng Taiyi did not hesitate, stomping hard on the ground again, soaring into the air. His dark black long spear suddenly thrust out, drawing arcs of black light, its momentum vast and boundless!

"Kill!"

Across from him, Zhang Kang did not dodge or evade, gripping his longsword and shouting loudly.

At the same time, the black particles that had just merged into his body reappeared around him, elevating his aura to another level!

Boom!!!

The sound of spear and sword colliding rang out again, terrifying waves surged up, bringing with them plumes of thick smoke.

The intensity of this collision far surpassed the previous one!

After a few breaths, everything in the arena reappeared in everyone's eyes...

"Hiss--"

And seeing the situation in the arena clearly, everyone present widened their eyes in shock, all revealing expressions of disbelief!

"How is this possible? How did Zhang Kang suddenly become so strong?"

"Damn it, Zhang Kang just now couldn't even take one blow from Deng Taiyi, how did he suddenly explode with power?"

...

At this moment in the arena, a figure stood with a longsword in hand, his back straight.

It was not the highly anticipated Deng Taiyi, but Zhang Kang, whom no one had favored earlier!

And across from him was the prodigy Deng Taiyi.

At this moment, Deng Taiyi was disheveled, his long hair messy, his eyes trembling, and his face full of disbelief.

There was still a faint trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.

Had he not swallowed the blood back at the last second, he would have been even more embarrassed!

At this moment, the tiger's mouth of Deng Taiyi, who was holding the long spear, had already split open, and his physical condition was extremely poor.

Although others did not know his current physical state, he himself knew it very well: he had basically lost his combat ability now...

His injuries were more severe than they appeared!

Zhang Kang, across from him, had actually defeated him with just one strike!

Deng Taiyi felt aggrieved, his eyes full of apprehension as he looked across.

However, his gaze was not directed at Zhang Kang, but at the weak Ji Tai Mei who had already collapsed on the ground...

He knew that Zhang Kang's sudden burst of power was not due to his own strength, but to Ji Tai Mei...

"I... lost..."

Deng Taiyi spoke with difficulty, his expression dejected.

He had considered that he might lose, but he had never thought that he would be eliminated in the first round...

He was not weak, and his prestige was high, making him one of the favorites to win, but he had to accept the reality before him...

He stood up and cupped his fists towards the other side.

However, the direction he faced was not Zhang Kang, who stood opposite him.

But Ji Tai Mei, who was collapsed on the ground...

"I've learned a lot."

Deng Taiyi spoke to Ji Tai Mei with difficulty.

Seeing Deng Taiyi's action, Zhang Kang frowned, his hand gripping the sword slightly tighter, clearly somewhat annoyed.

It was he who had defeated Deng Taiyi!

But looking at Deng Taiyi's demeanor just now, he clearly didn't put himself in his eyes!

Zhang Kang felt his self-esteem had been greatly insulted.

But the rules of the competition were that if the opponent conceded, one could no longer continue to attack...

Unable to discipline Deng Taiyi further, Zhang Kang suddenly turned his sharp eyes fiercely towards the remaining few prodigies around him...

Feeling Zhang Kang's wolf-like gaze, the hearts of the remaining few all sank.

This gaze was even fiercer than Deng Taiyi's gaze towards them earlier!

"I concede too!"

"I'm not fighting, I concede too!"

In just a few breaths, the remaining few people present all chose to concede.

Everyone present was not foolish; even Deng Taiyi, the strongest here, was no match for Zhang Kang, let alone them!

Moreover, the only person in the arena who had a chance to contend with Zhang Kang had already conceded, so there was no need for them to continue inviting trouble...

For a time, everyone simultaneously chose to concede, returning their finger weapons to the weapon rack, and left the arena.

At this moment, only two people remained on the arena.

One was the triumphant Zhang Kang.

And the other was Ji Tai Mei, who was collapsed on the ground...
