Chapter 232 Beyond Sound
Ever since she witnessed Yun Jing's strength in the first two rounds of the foundation-building exams and understood the gap between herself and the other party in strength and financial resources, Bai Zhenzhen quickly realized one thing.
"If I just follow the steps to improve my strength, even if I try my best and eventually reach a level similar to my opponent, then the chance of winning is 50-50."
"So if you want to get the foundation-building qualification certificate, it's not enough to just focus on improving your strength."
"And I am not without advantages... My advantage is that I was weak enough in the first two rounds, so weak that the opponent simply didn't take me seriously."
From the moment the groups were formed, she regarded Yun Jing as her biggest opponent and kept paying attention to him, trying to understand him and collecting intelligence.
"I understand his Dharmakaya, his techniques, and his dual Dantian techniques...but he doesn't really understand me."
This information gap caused by weak strength is Bai Zhenzhen's advantage.
"If I want to take advantage of this information gap, I must become stronger in a targeted manner."
“My goal is not to surpass my opponent, but to defeat him in the ring.”
“It’s actually two directions.”
Just like if one wants to surpass a high school student from Songyang High School in strength, one needs to practice hard day and night.
But to defeat a high school student from Songyang High School, you may only need a dump truck, or put a pirated cheat book on the opponent's desk.
It was when she realized this that Bai Zhenzhen began to gradually adjust the direction of her practice.
For example, the choice of new skills, the direction of the deduction of skills by the true spiritual roots, the change of combat style... all began to take the ring battle and Yun Jing as the ultimate goal.
Bai Zhenzhen wanted to specialize herself into the state that was most suitable for defeating Yun Jing in the ring.
Even if she would have to sacrifice other aspects of her strength in the process, she would still do this just to get the foundation-building qualification certificate.
At this moment, when the third round of the ring began, after Yun Jing heard Bai Zhenzhen's words, he activated the two dantians in his body again, and the magic power turned into a sea of fire and bombarded Bai Zhenzhen.
Looking at Bai Zhenzhen dashing left and right and fleeing back and forth under his bombardment, Yun Jing sneered in his heart: "What do you mean you can defeat me with one sword? Come closer to me first."
But Yun Jing soon discovered that something was wrong, because Bai Zhenzhen in front of him did not try to get close to him at all, but instead slashed through the sea of fire with one sword after another, as if she and the sea of fire were the real enemies.
"What on earth does this woman want to do?"
"No, no matter what she wants to do, we must stop her."
"I can't fall here. The Yun family is still waiting for me to revitalize it."
"If the family company goes bankrupt, the only thing I can rely on is myself and this foundation-building qualification certificate."
With a bad premonition in his heart, Yun Jing let out a low roar, and the magic power in his body was increased to the limit. His two dantians were like roaring dragons, spitting out mouthfuls of lava-like magic power, which turned into fire dragons and blasted towards Bai Zhenzhen.
The fire dragon will explode if you touch it even slightly. The only way to avoid it is to resist it head-on and you will definitely get hurt.
But Bai Zhenzhen's face was calm. Facing the roaring fire dragon, she did not dodge or evade. Instead, she swung the sword in her hand and attacked it with the Wanjian Wuzhong Jue technique.
With a loud bang, Bai Zhenzhen, who had split the fire dragon with a sword, had burn marks all over her body, but she still did not stop and faced the next fire dragon.
One sword... one sword... and another sword... The lightning in Bai Zhenzhen's hand became brighter and brighter, and the speed of her attacks became faster and faster.
It is the effect of the 10th-level Ten Thousand Swords Endless Art after being deduced by the True Spirit Root that allows the sword moves to continuously accelerate under the infusion of thunder magic power, with each move faster than the last, until the 15th move reaches the limit and breaks the sound barrier.
In the blink of an eye, she had performed the 14th move of Ten Thousand Swords.
At this moment, Bai Zhenzhen's aura suddenly changed. Her eyes exuded a sharp gaze, and she was staring at Yun Jing on the other side of the sea of fire.
Then Bai Zhenzhen started to practice the new martial arts she had been practicing for the past three months - Thunder Nine Heavens Steps.
In addition to using thunder power to accelerate the body, the biggest feature of this technique is that it can leave thunder power on the ground, forming an electric field in an area, which continuously accelerates the practitioner's body.
It can be said that the longer this technique lasts within a fixed range, the stronger the electric field created will be, and the stronger the acceleration effect on the practitioner will be.
When Bai Zhenzhen performed the deduction with her true spiritual roots, she was able to greatly increase the time that this technique could retain the lightning power to form an electric field.
This is the technique she selected, practiced and developed specifically for ring battles, which can further enhance her speed advantage in the ring.
Today's best-of-three rule is more suitable for her than she expected.
In the second round of the competition just now, she was concentrating on delaying time without seeking to win at all, just to leave enough thunder power on the stage so that the effect of the Nine Heavens Thunder Steps could reach its limit in the third round.
At this moment, flashes of lightning suddenly exploded on the ground of the ring, turning into an invisible electric field that enveloped the ring.
Bai Zhenzhen felt that this electric field and the thunder magic power all over her body attracted each other, as if circles of springs were stretched tight behind her, waiting for her order to launch her out like an electromagnetic cannon.
"Not enough..."
Bai Zhenzhen knew that she only had this one chance to strike with this sword, so she had to perform to her full potential.
So she activated another martial art that she had never used in front of Yun Jing before - Thunder God's Thunderbolt.
The thunder energy condensed by magic power blesses the whole body, which can increase the speed while resisting the physical pressure in the high-speed state.
The deduced effect of this technique is that it allows Bai Zhenzhen to burst out all the thunder magic power in her body in one breath, and strike out with a sword at a speed that exceeds her own limits.
Whether it was the Ten Thousand Swords Without End, the Nine Heavens Thunder Steps, or the Thunder God's Thunderbolt, Bai Zhenzhen was pursuing one goal in the process of selecting the techniques and subsequent deductions, which was to give herself a greater advantage and a greater chance of winning when fighting Yun Jing in the ring.
As the Thunder God's Pili Jue was launched with all his strength, Bai Zhenzhen felt that all the thunder and magic power in her body was surging out, leaving not a trace.
And under the operation of the Hanpo Bingxin Jue mental method, in this dangerous situation with no room for maneuver, Bai Zhenzhen could feel that the flesh, blood, strength, and energy in her body were becoming more and more lively with the blessing of the mental method.
Boom! The next moment, with the acceleration of the electric field, Bai Zhenzhen took a step forward and crashed head-on into the sea of fire, slashing at Yun Jing with a sword.
The fifteenth sword of the Ten Thousand Swords was like riding on a rocket, emitting a loud bang like the collision of thunder and air.
Immediately afterwards, the Thunder God's Pili Jue was activated, causing Bai Zhenzhen to pour all her magic power into this sword.
"Go! Take all my magic power and energy!"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
She roared wildly in her heart, and even injected all the protective thunder energy into the sword, just to make the sword faster and faster.
Because Bai Zhenzhen's body lacked the protection of the internal energy, it quickly became a bloody mess and cracks appeared under the rapid high pressure.
Amid the rumbling sounds of the explosions, Bai Zhenzhen had already taken a step ahead of the sounds, crossed the sea of fire that was squeezed and shattered by the waves of air, and arrived in front of Yun Jing.
Her sword started to speed up little by little from the first round of today, until the third round, when the speed of the sword finally reached its limit, surpassing the sound! With the full operation of the mind method and the extreme concentration of the spirit, it was clearly a sword that had surpassed the sound, but Bai Zhenzhen felt that the whole world seemed to slow down in her eyes.
She watched the long sword in her hand piercing towards Yun Jing's shoulder inch by inch, but the other party's eyes were blank and he did not react at all.
"Sure enough, according to my previous estimation, after accelerating to this degree, it should be able to surpass the observation limit of Yun Jing's eye..."
Knowing all the parameters of Yun Jing's eye skeleton by heart, Bai Zhenzhen knew that the safest way to break through it was to speed up to a level that the opponent would not have time to recognize.
"Today's three battles were all for the purpose of accelerating this sword to this point..."
"No..." Bai Zhenzhen's mind suddenly flashed back to the past year of hard training, the desperate battles in the past, and the time and time again she faced the overwhelming pressure.
She even remembered more, remembering the pain she had to endure since childhood in order to hide her spiritual roots, remembering the hard work she had put in to climb the path to immortality...
"For this sword, I have been accumulating strength for more than ten years, accelerating it for more than ten years, and chasing you for more than ten years."
"Now... this sword has finally caught up with you."
Bang! As the long sword collided with Yun Jing, Yun Jing's skin, muscles, and bones broke layer by layer, and a big hole was opened in his upper body. Then he flew out with a bang.
After Bai Zhenzhen's desperate sword strike, her body was covered in blood and her muscles seemed to be torn apart by this sword that surpassed her limit and transcended sound.
Feeling the divine power enveloping her, Bai Zhenzhen suddenly opened her eyes and said, "Did I... win?"
Huang Zichou looked at Bai Zhenzhen in front of him, nodded and said, "You win. One of the four foundation building qualification certificates today is yours."
Bai Zhenzhen smiled slightly when she heard this, and thought to herself: "Yuzi, Mom has taken care of this, the rest is up to you."
The next moment, Bai Zhenzhen fainted completely.
In the audience, after watching the replay of the three rounds of the ring match, "Laughing and Crying Expression" said, "It's quite interesting."
"This Bai Zhenzhen's hard power is not as strong as Yun Jing's, but it is obvious that her fighting talent and combat potential are better."
"Now I have the foundation-building qualification certificate..."
The "laughing and crying expression" immediately felt that Bai Zhenzhen was of great investment value, and could also imagine that many universities are probably now discussing what admission conditions to give Bai Zhenzhen.
"Oh? Also from Songyang City?"
"Laughing and Crying Expression" took a look at the candidate's information and smiled slightly, "She's from the same school as Zhang Yu? Then I might as well hire her as well."
"It's the year they go to college, so I can probably finish my work and go back, right?"
This time, even the "Smiling Expression" beside him did not reject this proposal, but said: "Although Bai Zhenzhen is also extremely poor, since she was able to take the foundation-building exam for the first time and passed the foundation-building qualification certificate, she is indeed a talent and will be able to help you in the future when she goes to university..."
"But don't forget to give her a good training for new employees and set rules for her so that she won't bring in the habits of the poor in the future..."
At this moment, Zhang Yu and Ye Lingxiao on the other side had already started the final, and many spectators immediately focused their attention on it.
