This Was No Loss

"What do you mean 'treat it as real'? It's the real deal, no doubt about it! Watch out, this ultimate move was created by the legendary God of Martial Arts. It took me three whole days to simulate it. It's a super finishing move that can destroy the moon at best, and the galaxy at worst—"

Si Ming complained, then clasped his hands together in the shape of a calyx and placed them on his right waist. The Blazing Sun True Qi surged and gathered in his palms, condensing into a dazzling ball of light that released a large amount of light and heat.

"Turtle... paw..."

The audience surrounding the ring were initially reluctant, and even after Ke Chajing's appeal, they lingered and refused to leave. But upon seeing Si Ming's imposing aura, they all turned and ran. Some even ran outside the Weiyang Hall and peered through the windows. Regardless of the actual power, just looking at the appearance, this move certainly gave people a very fierce feeling, with an imposing presence.

"Quick, back up! Don't block my way. We'll be in trouble if we get caught in the blast."

"I don't think it's necessary. His attack takes too long to build up; it'll definitely be interrupted."

"Idiot! Look at the momentum of this move, and the building-up Primal Qi fluctuations. Even if it's interrupted, it will still explode, okay?"

"I understand! That's exactly what Si Ming was planning. If that girl doesn't interrupt, he can successfully unleash his ultimate move. If she does interrupt, he'll detonate his accumulated Primal Qi and die together with her. Anyway, he's tough as nails and isn't afraid of exploding."

"That makes sense. That kid's really cunning! He can be so ruthless towards such a beautiful girl. Could he be into men?"

Si Ming was indeed planning to "die together." This "Kamehameha" move was just for show. It wasn't that it was weak, but the traces of the move were too obvious. As long as the opponent wasn't stupid, they could easily judge the direction of the attack based on his movements and dodge in advance.

In short, the hit rate is too low; unless you encounter a stationary pillar, you can forget about hitting anyone.

Therefore, the true purpose of this move is not to attack the enemy head-on, but to self-destruct!

First, he released a terrifying aura, scaring the enemy into getting close and interrupting him. Then, he unleashed all the accumulated energy in one go. If it were under the sun, the energy would grow endlessly. Anyway, he had the protection of the Jade-Clad Dharma Body, so at most he would suffer a minor injury. The result of "mutual destruction" would only be that the opponent would be blown half to death.

However, Yu Shuying was not fooled. She stood opposite him, coldly watching Si Ming gather his strength. Even though the ball of light in Si Ming's palm had grown to the size of a soccer ball and the force of the wind he released made the air howl, she still did not make any move.

Sure enough, this guy can read my mind—

Just as Si Ming had this thought, Yu Shuying said, "That's right, just like you thought, so this kind of trap won't work on me."

"Is that so... If that's the case, then you should know that luring someone into a trap is just one of my tactics. Even if it fails, it doesn't matter. What I'm about to do next is something that even if you knew beforehand, you wouldn't be able to prevent. Aren't you going to admit defeat? Getting injured over a mere sparring match between classmates is not a wise choice."

Yu Shuying secretly raised her hand and replied, "I have never failed, not in the past, and not in the future! Bring it on, I have already seen the outcome of this match!"

"Watch out, high energy ahead— Blazing Sun Light Burst!"

Si Ming clenched his fists, transforming the energy accumulated in his palms into a stream of particles, which then burst forth!

This is a variant of the Blue Moon Light Burst. It is not based on the nuclear energy within the body, but on the Blazing Sun True Qi. Compared to the dark-toned Blue Moon Light Burst, the Blazing Sun Light Burst displays a stream of particles with trailing bright red tails, looking like the friction generated when a meteorite falls into the atmosphere.

Wherever the crimson particle stream passed, the ground seemed to be kissed by fire, and the arena showed signs of being scorched.

With a loud "bang," like a flour warehouse exploding, a surging blast of air spread out and instantly engulfed Yu Shuying!

Chapter 204 This was a good deal

Although Si Ming intentionally controlled the range and tried to confine the particle flow within the arena, the subsequent reactions of the Blazing Sun Light Burst were beyond his control.

A hurricane suddenly swept through the Weiyang Hall, sweeping away all kinds of props and facilities. Some students who had not left the room were immediately caught in the crossfire, not only being attacked by various "hidden weapons" but also being impacted by the scalding airflow, and were involuntarily pushed against the wall.

Fortunately, the martial arts team, led by Ke Chajing, stepped forward and used their unique skills to block the impact, preventing any casualties.

"They all exploded, won't anyone get killed?"

Ke Chajing used her Iron Refining Hand to shatter the high-temperature airflow, and looked at the arena shrouded in black smoke with a worried expression. The residual force alone was so terrifying, and the power at the center of the explosion was unimaginable.

She wasn't worried about Si Ming; his martial arts were so advanced that he was impervious to blades and spears, and a mere explosion probably wouldn't even scratch him. But the girl showed no signs of practicing martial arts with such a powerful technique. Faced with such an all-encompassing impact, even the best lightness skill would be useless. Even if she wasn't seriously injured by the blast, the intense heat alone would be enough to give her a taste of her own medicine, and what if she suffered extensive burns...?

"Never mind that, let's go up and rescue them first, and contact an ambulance while we're at it." Ke Chajing made her decision.

But just as she was about to rush onto the stage, she heard a muffled groan from the black smoke, and then saw Si Ming, covered in soot, fly off the stage and fall to the ground, with one of his clothes torn off.

I won.

Accompanied by a cold voice, a slender figure darted out from the black smoke and rushed into the women's changing room of the Weiyang Hall before anyone could react.

Murong Qing approached Si Ming and asked, "What happened in the end?"

"I'm not quite sure either. I was defeated inexplicably," Si Ming said, looking equally puzzled. "But one thing is certain: her Internal Cultivation is definitely not of the Yang type. Just now, after I used my ultimate move, my Dantian was empty, and I was struck by her palm. The True Qi that invaded my body was clearly cold and Yin, like a cold moon, the exact opposite of my Blazing Sun True Qi. I couldn't resist it in time and was blasted away."

No matter how strong his Jade-Clad Dharma Body is, it can only resist external attacks. It is helpless against Internal Cultivation, especially during the vulnerable period after using his ultimate move. He has no power to resist at all. Even if Yu Shuying's True Qi attribute has no restraining effect, it is more than enough to shake him off the stage.

Upon hearing this, Murong Qing frowned and said, "That doesn't make sense. The True Qi I sensed back then was indeed of the yang attribute. Could it be that she cultivated Internal Cultivation that combines yin and yang?"

"There are indeed Internal Cultivation in this world that combine Yin and Yang, but neither of them is something we can cultivate with our Foundation."

The coexistence of Yin and Yang does not refer to a neutral and balanced Internal Cultivation that is neither Yin nor Yang. Rather, it means that both Yin and Yang attributes exist simultaneously. To use a chemical analogy, it means that it is both acidic and alkaline. Most Cultivation Method that can achieve this are Higher Vehicle, and the entry requirements are extremely strict.

As for simultaneously cultivating both pure Yin and pure Yang internal Internal Cultivation, that's wishful thinking. It's like mixing acidic and alkaline water together; they'll just be neutralized, and the original acidity or alkalinity won't be preserved.

Murong Qing pondered, "Perhaps she had another extraordinary encounter."

Since she was able to master the "Glacier Divine Art" by relying on the environment of snowfields and icy peaks, it is not impossible for others to cultivate a Higher Vehicle Internal Cultivation that combines yin and yang under specific conditions.

"I always felt it wasn't that simple."

Si Ming looked thoughtful.

However, seeing him like this, others couldn't help but mistakenly think that he was still upset about the defeat, and some of his classmates came over to comfort him.

"You performed exceptionally well; I couldn't have withstood your first move."

"Victory and defeat are common occurrences in Military School; don't worry too much about the outcome."

"In other words, in a ring duel, falling out of bounds means you lose, rendering your external martial arts training ineffective. But in a life-or-death battle, she has no way to deal with you."
