"BANG!"
Zhang Lingfeng parried Wu Weiwei's sword with a backward spear move.
Not only was his combat power higher than Wu Weiwei's, but his arm strength also surpassed hers by two hundred kilograms. It seemed as though he casually swung the spear, but it nearly overwhelmed Wu Weiwei's swordsmanship.
Taking advantage of this moment, Zhang Lingfeng pressed down fiercely with his spear technique while also spurring his qi sensitivity, unleashing his full strength in one burst.
Wu Weiwei seemed to hear the sound of an explosion coming from Zhang Lingfeng's spear technique.
Caught off guard and yet to recover from Zhang Lingfeng's first strike, she barely managed to block the next two, but her longsword flew out of her hands, and her chest was pierced by Zhang Lingfeng's spear.
Her figure quickly faded.
"You..."
She looked at Zhang Lingfeng in disbelief.
Never had she expected to be defeated almost instantly by Zhang Lingfeng.
"Farewell, Wu Weiwei!"
Zhang Lingfeng apologized.
Participating in the ranking battles was not his intention.
But since he was participating, he couldn't hold back or concede. With rewards for victory, Zhang Lingfeng could only pursue ultimate bursts of speed to end the battles quickly.
Such actions met the requirements, didn't violate his coasting along attribute, and helped his uncle in times of trouble—a win-win situation.
He achieved victory in the first ranking battle.
Automatically entering the second match.
He was matched against a second-year Martial Dao student from First Middle School, who just became an entry-level martial artist two days ago.
Becoming an entry-level martial artist at such a young age implied exceptional talent or an extraordinary background in Outer Ring City.
Moreover, this opponent was also a girl.
Her name was Hu Siqin, with significant popularity, as there were six hundred people watching in her room. Among them, Zhang Lingfeng noticed a familiar face.
Last time during a spar with Teng Qingshan in Star Realm, representing First Middle School's genius, Hu Bin!
Although Zhang Lingfeng didn't watch their live match and stayed in another live stream room, he saw their promotional poster in the cafeteria and recognized him immediately.
"Xiaoqin, with a win in this match, you'll have six consecutive victories, earning you twenty thousand in prize money."
Hu Bin sent a barrage of messages.
When their match began, the surrounding comments and sounds were muted.
Zhang Lingfeng was taken aback.
Winning three consecutive matches granted prize money.
Amount varying from one thousand to ten thousand.
Winning six matches straight earned two thousand.
However, winning six consecutive matches was too challenging; Zhang Lingfeng didn't dare hope.
Though he wished to earn prize money to help his uncle with difficulties, he could only do his best without forcing it.
"Zhang Lingfeng?"
"It's unlucky for you to be matched with me just after becoming an entry-level martial artist today."
After reading Zhang Lingfeng's profile, Hu Siqin apologetically said.
She had already won five matches consecutively.
The toughest opponent had a combat power of 11.0, and she couldn't fathom why she was matched with Zhang Lingfeng, who only became an entry-level martial artist today, and his combat power was just 10.7.
Facing her, who was about to awaken two qi sensitivities, he stood no chance.
"Whirr!"
Girls always enjoyed using swords.
Hu Siqin was no exception.
However, she wielded a two-handed sword.
The barrage disappeared.
Zhang Lingfeng and Hu Siqin entered an undisturbed state.
Hu Siqin was the first to attack, closing in to prevent Zhang Lingfeng from using his spear technique due to her proximity advantage.
"BOOM!"
Zhang Lingfeng swiftly stepped back two steps, using Cyan Dragon Emerges from Water Linked Spear technique, quickly blocking Hu Siqin.
After obtaining the all-weather breathing and exhaling ability, Zhang Lingfeng not only awakened the first qi sensitivity from his body, but his mind also remained clear with the help of this ability.
Even though they were in Star Realm.
Their consciousness was projected inside, not fighting life-and-death battles outside, yet subconsciously, Zhang Lingfeng's body maintained a breath and exhale state.
Adding two hundred kilograms of strength at any level to his arm.
Even though Hu Siqin's combat power was 10.9, there was quite a level difference between them; this two hundred kilograms strength advantage still gave Zhang Lingfeng some edge.
So when the double swords and Zhang Lingfeng's long spear clashed, Hu Siqin noticed something was off, realizing his spear technique was not only stable but also increasing in strength.
In the blink of an eye, Zhang Lingfeng seemed to be subtly getting stronger.
At the same time.
Zhang Lingfeng's spear technique grew faster and faster, seeming eager to unleash all his skills at once, pouring down on her.
This was obviously a disarrayed, desperate tactic.
But for some reason, Zhang Lingfeng's expression remained calm, as if he secretly held a trump card, or perhaps, he just wanted to finish the battle quickly and leave Star Realm.
Hu Siqin instinctively chose to believe the first possibility.
Who would be in a rush to leave during a ranking battle by hastily discharging all their skills at once? This strategy was unheard of, unseen.
Zhang Lingfeng must be hiding a major finishing move.
Hence, Hu Siqin subconsciously adopted various defensive strategies.
Unfortunately, the more defensive she got, the more Zhang Lingfeng's strength advantage became apparent.
For a short time, Hu Siqin could withstand it, but if it prolonged, her defense would collapse.
Hu Bin also noticed this, wanting to send messages to caution Hu Siqin, but alas, Hu Siqin couldn't see them.
"BOOM!"
A loud noise reverberated.
Hu Siqin wielded her two-handed sword to block, but the longsword got misaligned by the long spear. As her torso was forcibly skewered by Zhang Lingfeng's spear, bending at the moment, the long spear pierced through her back, embedding in the ground.
Hu Siqin's eyes widened.
Before she could speak, her figure quickly faded.
Zhang Lingfeng automatically moved to the next room, matching another opponent.
This swift, coasting-along tactic seemed to suit him well, not only allowing full utilization of his strength but often catching opponents by surprise, swiftly resolving the fight through strength advantage.
Truly achieving speed and decisiveness.
"Xiaoqin!"
In Weiyuan District, Outer Ring City, a wealthy residential area.
Hu Bin cautiously opened his younger sister's room.
Seeing his sister had woken on the bed, staring at the ceiling.
"Brother, did I misinterpret his intentions, or did he defeat me without using any trump card?"
Hu Siqin asked.
"This..."
Hu Bin was unsure how to explain.
"If you care for me, just tell me the truth, don't lie to me?"
Hu Siqin sat up and said.
"I'm not entirely sure either. He is currently matching with an opponent; we can watch his third match."
Although Hu Bin's combat power far exceeded Zhang Lingfeng's, he truly couldn't discern if Zhang Lingfeng's spear technique hid any aces.
"Alright."
Hu Siqin thought it made sense.
The siblings once again entered Star Realm, searching quickly to find where Zhang Lingfeng was located; Zhang Lingfeng was still matching an opponent.
Inside the room.
Zhang Lingfeng checked the panel information.
Although his consciousness was projected, the panel information appeared as real as usual, right before him.
