He was not dazzled by his temporary strength, and always remained calm and motivated. At the same time, he had a unique talent...
Soon you'll surpass me at my peak - and no, that's not your limit.
And that other child who also has a 100% chance of surpassing me, when will you grow up?
...Leian.
Watching the group leave, Gong Yangzhen put his hands in his coat pockets and his eyes slowly sank.
There were frequent glances of awe and yearning from all around him, but those could not make his mood any better at the moment.
Although he had won today's fight, Gong Yang Zhen only felt a moment of relief, and then the next thing he felt was - urgency.
Because strictly speaking, in today's battle he was actually being suppressed by his opponent with higher-level techniques, which was a feeling he had never experienced before.
With his superhuman nerve reflex speed and "extreme dodge" skills that are beyond the reach of ordinary people, "Floating Cloud" Chu Jianquan once seemed to turn into real mist in front of Gong Yang Zhen.
He could clearly see it but could not touch it, which put Gong Yang Zhen, whose strength was almost entirely in striking skills, into a passive position.
"And this is not the so-called 'ultimate power', it is just something that seems to be there."
What is the "ultimate power"?
That is the realm that can only be truly mastered by the "Tang-Destroying Fang" who advanced to the third round in Kengan's fatal elimination tournament and the real protagonist's "Magic Spear". It is a realm that cannot be mastered by those without extremely profound martial arts accumulation, the so-called "ahead of the first" realm.
That is, as soon as you perceive the opponent's attack intention, you take action before the opponent, so that the attack arrives before the opponent.
Martial arts masters who have reached this level often have a "pre-reading" ability that exceeds that of ordinary people, and can get into a defensive or evasive position before their opponent attacks.
"…In comparison, the 'Extreme Dodge' that uses my extraordinary reflexes to evade my attack is much slower."
"However, 'Extreme Dodge' has already exhausted me. If I were to face an opponent who has reached the 'First of the First' realm, I would not be able to touch the corner of my opponent's clothes."
"The only one who can fight against the First is the First. Unless——"
[Equipment purchase or rune enhancement? ]
【Choose one of the two! 】
Perhaps it was because the opponent defeated this time was indeed a worthy opponent, and the reading bar of the reward stage of the Fighting Spirit Arena was also rushed to the reward stage without hesitation.
Gong Yang Zhen, who had originally planned to fill the remaining two rune slots first, now looked at the "equipment procurement link" option for the first time.
At the same time, two pieces of equipment slowly emerged from the impression.
[Sunfire Holy Shield, sold for 3000 gold coins (Fighting Spirit Arena price).]
[450 HP 50 Armor]
[Passive - Sacrifice: When you take or cause damage, you will deal magic damage based on the percentage of your maximum health to surrounding enemy units every second, and cause additional damage to small units, which lasts for three seconds.]
[Armor of Thorns, sold for 3000 gold coins (Fighting Spirit Arena price).]
[350 HP 70 Armor]
[Passive - Thorns: After being hit by an attack, it will cause magic damage based on the attacker's armor value. If the target is a hero unit, it will also be treated and health regeneration inhibited for three seconds. ]
One will be burned as long as it gets close to me, and the other will rebound the damage, so hitting me is the same as hitting yourself.
If you have these two equipment, you don't have to worry about not being able to touch the opponent with the "first-come, first-served" and "pre-reading" abilities. If you can't touch them, then you can't touch them. You can choose between being killed by the counterattack or being burned to death.
Want to buy it?
Which one should I choose to buy?
He was a little conflicted, but Gong Yang Zhen decided to put the matter aside for the time being.
The next trip to "Wuzhili" will surely be an exhilarating journey of stacking steel. These two pieces of equipment will affect the durability of the stacked steel Palu, and the gold coins will not run away, so let's discuss it later.
..............................
After negotiating with the distraught Nogi Hideki, Nakano Maruo, who was about to see another increase in wealth, did not look happy. Instead, he stared at the back of Gong Yang Zhen's head for a long time without any expression.
——It was an attack that could smash one’s brain into pulp, but there was no sign of any injury at all?
Even if you have a concussion, you are really inhumanly strong?
I was shocked when I suddenly received Gong Yang Zhen's request to drop out of school.
He had no objection to this. In his eyes, Gong Yang Zhen had always left a mature and steady impression, and every decision he made had its reasons.
So he agreed without thinking and promised to help Gong Yangzhen deal with the school.
At the same time, there was also a piece of news that made Gong Yangzhen look sideways.
"…Using the shares of the publishing house, one of the mainstays of the group's revenue, as a bargaining chip, you are asking 'Nakano Private Hospital' to participate in the desperate elimination tournament?"
"If he wins, he can be given more shares in the group in exchange for a chance to be named the president of Kengankai?"
"Yes... It's an incomprehensible proposal. I think the cost is greater than the reward. President Nogi may have lost his mind."
Are you confused?
Maybe he was really out of his mind, betting so much wealth on an illusory ancestor's long-cherished wish.
For a moment, Gong Yang Zhen also had a strange look in his eyes.
how to say.
"What a stubborn guy, he still refuses to give up... But couldn't you have said this earlier? Why did you have to use force?"
Now, their own fighters have been beaten to pieces, and it remains to be seen whether they can be saved and whether they can still participate in the knockout rounds.
Suddenly I felt quite speechless.
but.
"I will definitely go to the Kengan Fatal Elimination Tournament. Mr. Nakano, the other party is giving us shares for free, so let's take them."
Nakano Maruo corrected, "It's not us, it's you, Gongyang-kun. The shares of Nogi Group should not belong to me. They are the spoils you deserve."
Gong Yangzhen didn't care about this at all. Give it all to me? That's fine. No need to worry.
Money is just a number, you can never spend it all.
"But, should we nominate him as the president of Kengankai? ...Mr. Nakano, what do you think? Are you interested in taking the position of president?"
"..."
Nakano Maruo was silent for a long time, and the answer he gave was not surprising: "I am not interested in the position of president - besides, the scale of 'Nakano Private Hospital' is too small. Even if the shares of Nogi Publishing are included, it can only be regarded as the middle level among the members, which is not enough to convince the public."
"Also, Mr. Gong Yang, please don't forget that you are a special person—both a business owner and a fighter. If you want, perhaps you can nominate yourself to be the president."
"...I'd better forget it. It's not that material."
Gong Yang Zhen still has a relatively clear understanding of himself. Although he is called the boss, he is actually just a person who sits there and divides the money. He is OK at making friends, but his organizational and management abilities are almost non-existent.
Since Nakano Maruo has no idea, then let Nogi Hideki be the president. After all, with so many shares of the Nogi Group in hand, the other party is naturally an ally.
The subsequent competition arrangements were basically finalized, Gong Yangzhen bid farewell to Nakano Maruo, and left the competition venue with Li Youba.
Anyway, let’s go to the celebration party first.
It is worth mentioning that when they were full of food and drink and were about to part ways, Gong Yang Zhen finally completely confirmed the thoughts of this silly girl.
Wow, she, she is indeed greedy for my body.
Otherwise why would you kiss me goodbye?
"Yuba, there's something I have to do first—"
"do not talk."
Don't say anything to spoil the mood at a time like this. Do you think I don't know that you are a deep-sea pickup artist?
After a long time, their lips parted. Li Youba's face flushed but she looked up at Gong Yang Zhen generously, the little wolf cub who had just taken away the dominant position and almost sucked her soul out.
"Okay, I'm leaving. Remember to take me with you when you go to participate in the 'Death Knockout Tournament'. I'm going to earn back the money I spent on the milk powder."
"..."
I want to say that I am very rich and I don’t need you to gamble to buy milk powder.
But when he saw Li Youba's eyes shining when she talked about this, he was silent for a long time and finally didn't say much. Gong Yang Zhen just watched her leave.
Finally, he let out a breath slowly.
Miss Gambler, you smell so good.
………………
School, clubs, new friends...
There is also Tao Jing Satsuki who seems a little reluctant to leave after hearing that they might be separated for a few months.
"Don't worry, it won't be long. I will go to the Murasaki Dojo for further training in a while, and then I will return to Tokyo."
"Then Ah Zhen, you must contact me."
After all, she is still an independent child. Tao Jing Satsuki cannot drop out of school on her own initiative like Gong Yangzhen, but her plan of "not continuing to go to college" has been approved by her mother.
After all, her boyfriend's wealth is enough to support her for several lifetimes.
However, that was nearly three years later, and now I can only temporarily experience the pain of separation.
After everything was arranged, Gong Yang Zhen put aside all distractions and finally set out on the road to "Wu's Village".
come on.
Let me see, whether the family tradition and heritage of the Wu family will enable me to undergo another transformation?
Unexpectedly, after knowing that he would study martial arts in "Wu no Sato", Wu Huiliyang turned down all recent activities with Katara Metō and came back with him. The first class she took was the heavyweight class.
"Zhen, do you remember that I had someone give you a physical examination when you first came back to Wuzhili?"
“…Yes, I remember.”
"Well, the purpose is not only to check your extraordinary physique, but also to explore the mystery of your extraordinary recovery ability. The specific analysis will probably come out today, but as for the results——"
Wu Huiliyang lowered her head slightly, hiding her withered face in the shadows. Only her eyes, which had none of the turbidity of an old man, shone brightly.
"You are then qualified to inherit the highest achievement that our Wu clan has achieved in the past 1,300 years."
"If an ordinary person uses it, their body will explode and they will die, but for you, it will only make you stronger - 'Liberation'!"
Chapter 89: God's Body
The human body has a self-protection mechanism. In order to prevent the bones from being overwhelmed, the brain will restrict the muscles and prevent them from exerting their potential strength. The average person can only exert about 20 to 30 percent of their strength on a daily basis.
After thousands of years of genetic screening and racial evolution, the Wu clan has acquired a physique that can unlock the treasures of the human body and gain more potential power.
Of course, having a strong physique alone is not enough, because the self-protection mechanism has long been written into the instinct, and the shackles need to be opened with secret methods.
This is also the secret of the Wu clan - "liberation"!
"After achieving 'liberation', another goal is to pursue the 'liberation rate'."
"If we break down the tribesmen, they can be roughly divided into the 'fighting faction' that specializes in personal fighting ability and the 'assassination faction' that specializes in killing techniques. The tribesmen who can achieve a 'liberation rate' of more than 50% are already the best among the 'fighting faction'."
"For example, Garuda has already achieved an 85% 'liberation rate' before he even reached adulthood. This is unprecedented in the entire tribe, and it may be possible to reach 100% in the future."
"As for Zhen, with your physique and bone hardness that are already beyond human, it is more than enough to achieve a 100% 'liberation rate'. The only difficulty lies in the introduction of this method."
"Don't be impatient. You are still young and have a lot of time. Take your time. Follow the instructions in the file, calm your mind, dive deep into your consciousness, and search for your 'death' and 'life'."
"..."
Sitting opposite each other, Wu Huiliyang spoke in a calm tone, as if she wanted to calm Gong Yangzhen down, but this was a waste of time.
——Gong Yang Zhen’s heart at this moment was like a giant whale in the deep sea, quiet and broad.
At this moment, he was looking at the secret files spread out in front of him, deep in thought.
"Use your thoughts to guide your brain, creating a deathly situation that cannot be escaped without breaking the shackles, causing the body's self-protection mechanism to collapse."
"Use secret methods to capture and freeze the feeling of that moment, and achieve a permanent state without the shackles before the physical energy is exhausted. This is the so-called 'life', or - 'liberation'."
"——The first step is not difficult for me."
Gong Yang Zhen was still thinking about his own things, and at this moment, at the sliding door of Hefeng's quiet room, a shadowy figure appeared through the rice paper plywood.
Wu Huiliyang, who was sitting opposite the door, could not miss this scene. His eyes flickered and he slowly stood up: "Well, there is nothing I can help you with next. The key lies in your understanding."
"——Then you just sit here quietly, I will leave first."
"Yes."
His keen five senses naturally detected someone outside the door, but now his mind was completely immersed in the long file in front of him. Gong Yang Zhen did not care about those trivial matters. He just nodded slightly and watched the old man leave.
