A Nuclear Blast of Love

"He looks like a pretty boy, but I never expected him to be such a ruthless guy."

"What is that White Face ghost thinking? Why isn't he attacking to interrupt him? Does he have a death wish?"

Amidst the shocked, panicked, and puzzled gazes of the crowd, Shan Gu merely coughed a few times before raising his hand to gather his Gang Qi. However, his power was far inferior to Si Ming's, almost like the difference between a sugarcane and Golden Cudgel.

"Wind Sweeps the Ten Directions, Riding the Dragon!"

Si Ming immediately used the second move of the "Imperial Dragon Heaven-Defying Sword Art." Although it used Sword-Ray and its power was far less than that of the Dragon Scale Sword, it was undoubtedly an ultimate move at the Spirit Transformation level.

The tornado, combined with the Sword Qi, surged into the sky, transforming into a Sword Qi wind dragon. It roared, its voice deafening. Si Ming stood within the dragon's mouth, pointing downwards. The Sword Qi wind dragon swooped down, carrying a domineering and boundless power that seemed capable of shattering mountains and splitting seas. It plummeted down with an aura that seemed intent on annihilating everything in its path. The Sword-Ray forcibly broke through the air barrier at a speed exceeding its limits, bringing with it deafening sounds of wind and thunder.

The arena below was the first to suffer, completely destroyed and leaving no place to stand. The spectators retreated and kept their distance to avoid being caught in the crossfire. Only those with truly high skill and courage dared to activate their True Qi and stand in front to watch carefully.

The martial arts instructor from Earth Emperor University initially wanted to intervene to save the student, unwilling to see his own student die on the spot. However, upon witnessing the power of this move, he could only abandon the idea and pray in his heart that Shan Gu could save his life.

The next moment, the wind dragon crashed into the slender body, and the Sword-Ray erupted, like the setting sun, turning into a dazzling expanse. No one could see the figures of Si Ming and Shan Gu clearly; all they could feel were wave after wave of Sword-Ray and air waves, seemingly endless, each one more fierce and dazzling than the last, each wave more violent and domineering than the last, even giving people the illusion of devouring the heavens and earth and destroying everything.

Shan Gu will probably be reduced to ashes...

Those who witnessed this scene had no doubt about Shan Gu's fate. However, Si Ming was actually there, found that he could not touch his opponent's body no matter what he did. The Sword Qi energy storm swirled at high speed, and every inch of the space that came into contact with it was being cut and torn apart by the Sword Qi, bursting out with millions of sparks, and frantically rushing inward. But there was an invisible wall of energy blocking it, making it difficult for it to advance an inch.

So close, yet so far!

Si Ming did not believe that this was due to the protective Gang Qi. There was no such powerful Gang Qi in the world, not even Yun Jinzang's protective Gang Qi could do that.

Ultimate moves, special moves, and common moves are three different concepts of techniques. Protective Gang Qi can at most block special moves, and against ultimate moves, it's good enough if it can weaken their power. To perfectly block them, there has to be an absolute difference in strength that cannot be overcome by any means.

"What kind of Anomalies move is this?" Si Ming couldn't help but ask.

"Extremely High Potential Barrier."

As he answered, Shan Gu arm, the constantly vibrating Gang Qi cutting through the wind dragon and striking Si Ming hard.

With a deafening roar, the wind dragon dissipated, and Si Ming was sent flying. His body seemed to be enveloped in an invisible vortex of Sword Qi, and everything he touched became as fragile as bubbles. He left a long trench in the destroyed arena floor and only stopped his momentum at the very end.

He glanced down at his chest; his clothes were ripped, and blood seeped from the exposed skin.

Shan Gu revealed a hint of surprise. "Compared to my defense, your body is truly Anomalies. Even High-Frequency Blade could only cut a little bit of skin off you."

"The best way to deal with high-frequency weapons is to use elastic materials, and my Mercury Alloy Body happens to have similar properties."

Since the other party had already mentioned the names of their moves, Si Ming didn't mind revealing some of them as well.

Shan Gu nodded and asked, "Shall we continue?"

Si Ming glanced at the ruins of the site, estimated the compensation costs, and said with a wry smile, "Forget it, let's save it for the Martial Dao League and have a good fight then."

Although they only exchanged one move, it was enough as a test, and Si Ming also achieved his goal, confirming that his opponent had indeed cultivated Super Martial Dao.

Are all the martial artists this year monsters?

The onlookers, seeing Shan Gu standing unharmed in the center of the ruins, suddenly lost their motivation to participate.

Chapter 774 Nuclear Explosion Love Threads

Given that Si Ming still held leverage over Earth Emperor University, they ultimately didn't dare to ask for an exorbitant fee for venue repairs. Of course, part of the reason was that after witnessing Si Ming's strength, they didn't want to offend a martial arts expert just because of money. Only brainless villains in novels would do such a thing. In any case, with the financial resources of a top university, problems that can be solved with money are not problems at all.

Earth Emperor University even considered letting the matter drop, but Si Ming insisted on paying out of his own pocket, not wanting to take advantage of the other party. It would be a real loss to leave a stain on his reputation over such a small amount of money.

Martial arts experts always choose a deserted place before making a move, mostly because they don't want to pay compensation. If they were to fight in a busy city, the compensation would be so high that even a Spirit Transformation Grandmaster would cry.

Su State is not a lawless land where the strong treat the lives of the weak as worthless, and have the power of life and death. Everything must be carried out under order. The fact that Spirit Transformation Grandmaster has privileges does not mean that he can do whatever he wants. In fact, the existence of "privileges" itself means that order must be followed. It is not the same as the underworld cultivation world where the strong are respected and high martial prowess allows one to kill at will.

Keeping his promise, Si Ming chose a number 9 and returned the other four number plates. The person in charge of Earth Emperor University, relieved, immediately turned his attention to Shan Gu. The president of the Martial Arts Club was persuading Shan Gu to join the team, his face showing the surprise of "finding a treasure".

Although Si Ming was the one who seemed most imposing in the previous exchange, with his sword technique being earth-shattering, anyone with a brain would realize that this unknown boy was actually a hidden master. In any case, Wei Mengchen, who had just reached the Spirit Transformation, knew he couldn't withstand Si Ming's One Sword, let alone withstand it with his body instead of using an ultimate technique. He simply couldn't understand how Shan Gu had managed to do it.

But as long as the strength is real, that's all that matters. With a female Spirit Transformation of unpredictable strength suddenly appearing at Linked Mountains University, if Earth Emperor University doesn't quickly strengthen its power, it will embarrass itself in this Martial Dao League. After all, it was so high-profile before, and there must be quite a few people who want to see Earth Emperor University make a fool of itself.

Si Ming ignored the persuasion from the other side. Since Shan Gu had accepted his challenge, he believed that they would definitely meet again in the Martial Dao League. Moreover, from their previous exchange, he had confirmed that Shan Gu was able to control his power and that his temperament had indeed been influenced by the Super Martial Dao, but not to the point of violence or destruction. Instead, he had become world-weary and withdrawn, with a "I am the only one who is sober in a world of drunks" mentality. Otherwise, the students of Earth Emperor University would not have thought of him as a weirdo.

While being world-weary and reclusive is certainly not a good habit, at least it doesn't harm others, so it doesn't matter. He'll have the Mohist Knight Guard contact them later and let them know that there's a "Blazing Yang Battle Art" that can suppress the side effects of Super Martial Dao. As for whether the other party will cultivate it or whether they will value it after cultivation, that's none of Si Ming's business. Given their relationship, this is more than enough. They're not his parents or siblings, and he doesn't need to take care of them every little thing.

It was already quite late after the lottery test, and after all this trouble, it was already midnight when Si Ming returned to the hotel arranged by Earth Emperor University.

However, at Si Ming's level of cultivation, sleep was merely a habit, not a physiological need, so he didn't care much about time. But when he opened the room and saw a large bed inside, he didn't know what to say.

So, what are your plans?

"As a maid, it is my duty to warm your bed," Si Jingyu said frankly and without any hesitation.

"So, you deliberately sent me to wander around campus this afternoon, just to do it first and ask for my permission later."

"If the young master is not satisfied, I can sleep on the floor for the night."

Si Jingyu opened her paper fan, on which were written the four characters "pitiful and charming," though her eyes were full of laughter and showed no sign of pity.

Si Ming sighed and said, "Sigh, what am I dissatisfied with? I've completely lost my integrity lately, isn't it just because I'm afraid of being censored?"

I should have investigated the blood relations properly. Now I'm stuck in this limbo, like Schrödinger's cat.

"I know what you're worried about, but you're underestimating me." Si Jingyu moved closer, their eyes meeting, and said, "The ethics in worldly morality stem from the fact that inbreeding easily results in offspring with congenital diseases. Our ancestors understood this and established the rule that people with the same surname cannot marry. Over time, this rule became a custom, and the custom transformed into morality. Those who violated this morality were condemned by everyone."

"What are you trying to say? I know the Si Clan has a special bloodline and that Wuji has engaged in incestuous reproduction, but even so, the Si Clan only allows marriage among clansmen, not between siblings. We dare not openly do anything that challenges worldly morality. After all, people live in this world and are ultimately members of a community. Unless one lives in seclusion in the mountains, even if one doesn't care about what others say, one still has to consider the opinions of relatives and friends."

Perhaps some people can transcend themselves, placing themselves at the absolute center and regarding everyone else as aliens, but Si Ming is not that kind of person.

"You're mistaken. What I'm trying to say is that blood ties are merely tied to the physical body. Once separated from the body, blood ties become irrelevant. What ordinary people call 'male-female love' refers to physical intercourse, which is the Lower Vehicle form of sexual intercourse. Various schools of bedroom arts build upon this by introducing the exchange of vital energy. For example, the union of yin and yang is the fusion of Primal Qi, which can be considered a middle-level method. But the highest Higher Vehicle of sexual intercourse is spiritual intercourse."
