Ma Xuan's mind raced, and he quickly made a decision.

"Alright, let's take this opportunity to completely crush Zhang Yu and force him to leave the stage."

So he directly ordered through the Competition Group: "Attack! Use the method we discussed beforehand to force him out of the game!"

After the first half of the competition ended, Ma Xuan and his team naturally summarized their combat experience, especially their insights from fighting Zhang Yu, and updated their combat tactics.

At that moment, related thoughts flashed through Ma Xuan's mind like lightning.

"Compared to his performance during his first training session six months ago, Zhang Yu has made tremendous progress!"

"Whether it's basic Physical Strength, mana capacity, combat skills, or the level of the Nine Heavens Cloud Void Force... everything far surpasses what it was before!"

"The previous plan of shooting down enemies from a distance or suppressing them with a single person has been proven to be inappropriate in combat!"

"Especially the Level 20 Nine Heavens Cloud Void Force, which can borrow force for a full 20 strikes..."

After the first half of the battle, Ma Xuan and his team have taken Zhang Yu very seriously!

In this situation, Ma Xuan's battle strategy was... first, to reduce the power of his attacks and increase the number of attacks!

Instead of delivering heavy blows, the strategy is to unleash more combos within a given time frame!

"In this way, the power of each strike is greatly weakened, so we are not afraid of being countered with our own force!"

"And the relentless, torrential offensive could also..."

"Quickly wear down Zhang Yu!"

"Secondly, a long-range attack is preferable, as it can further reduce the risk of being hit by a counterattack!"

In preparation for this new battle strategy, Ma Xuan and the others ordered takeout and changed or added to their equipment before the start of the second half!

"Furthermore, the medium of attack is also very important!"

Ma Xuan opened his mouth and spat out streams of silver particles, which poured down onto the ground beneath his feet!

He ordered the Sand Silver during his break!

When this substance is mixed with mud and sand, it can greatly enhance the strength and toughness of the mud and sand. Combined with his Minor Three Harmonies and Ground-to-Steel Technique, it can greatly increase the destructive power against Zhang Yu's Qi!

While its effects are powerful, it is also quite expensive!

Ma Xuan hadn't originally planned to use this kind of thing in the competition against Shi Huaiyu's team!

He thought to himself, "I wonder how much we can recover after this is over!"

While he was thinking this, he had already activated the recording function of his Eye Remains, determined to recycle the Sand Silver after the war!

As the Sand Silver was poured in, silver rapidly spread across the ground beneath Ma Xuan's feet, centered on the spot where he stood!

The next moment, Ma Xuan activated his magic power, and silver arms rose from the ground beneath his feet!

The Small Three Harmonies controls sediment and shapes its form, the Finger Pointing Turns to Steel increases strength, and the Sand Silver further enhances strength and toughness!

After the silver arms rose up, they grew wildly like tree branches, and then slammed down hard on Zhang Yu!

Amidst the booming sound of exploding air currents, each palm strike came down like a battering ram!

At first, there were only a dozen or so, but they quickly surged to dozens... hundreds of silver arms, fists, palms, and fingers, raining down on Zhang Yu like a storm!

It was Ma Xuan who used his Finger Pointing Turns to Steel, combined with the Small Three Harmonies and the addition of Sand Silver, to propel the Level 20 Martial Arts, the Formless Thousand Hands!

Faced with this overwhelming attack, Zhang Yu let out a low shout and immediately unleashed the Formless Cloud Gang to defend against it!

With a series of loud bangs, Zhang Yu Yu's Gang Qi surged and trembled violently like waves in a sea of clouds!

Feeling the relentless attacks, Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Hmph... have you found a tactic to deal with the Nine Heavens Cloud Void Force?"

Just as Ma Xuan made his move, the other three also attacked simultaneously!

During her rest period, Yang Yan changed into the newly rented Heart Skeleton and Hand Skeleton.

With a violent throbbing of his Heart Skeleton, streams of magical power poured into it, then transformed into streams of electric charge that surged forth, instantly filling the bloodstream throughout his entire body!

At the same time, he lightly tapped his fingertips, and the blood flowed through the electromagnetic acceleration of the Hand Skeleton, activating the built-in Level 20 martial art Flick Finger Startle Blood!

In the next instant, countless blood shadows crackling with electricity burst forth from his body, shooting towards Zhang Yu like a rain of flowers!

Each Blood Lightning consumes mana, and after being strengthened and accelerated by the Heart Skeleton and Hand Skeleton, it is finally propelled by Level 20 Flick Finger Startle Blood!

However, since the Dharma Skeleton are all rented, each Blood Lightning is priced at 0.02 Spirit Coin based on its quantity!

Seeing the ever-increasing bill in his Eye Remains, Yang Yan's fighting spirit surged, and he roared inwardly, "Zhang Yu, you fucking better hurry up and spend it all!"

With his fighting spirit surging, Yang Yan felt his Heart Skeleton beating faster and the bills in his Eye Remains rising even faster. Then, as his mental cultivation technique circulated, it brought him an even stronger fighting spirit!

All of this was within Yang Yan's expectations, because he had always primarily used rented Dharma Skeleton.

This allows him to flaunt his wealth and demonstrate his financial power to the public, while also fueling his competitive spirit through constantly updated bills!

Because when using rented Dharma Skeleton, it is necessary to operate Dharma Skeleton more efficiently and quickly in order to save on rental costs!

To accomplish the same task but pay less rent—isn't that a way to make money?

Whenever he thought of this, he felt the mental techniques in his mind running more and more wildly, stimulating him to unleash a stronger fighting spirit, stronger power, and faster thinking... At the same time, on the other side, Gusu Su also made her move!

To better deal with Zhang Yu, we need to change our fighting methods!

But in preparation for this competition, Su Su, a senior, had already spent all her savings a month before the competition started to improve her skills!

Seeing Ma Xuan, Yang Yan, and the others place their orders without hesitation, Su Su had no choice but to borrow some Spirit Coin to rent Hand Skeleton in exchange for her original Hand Skeleton!

After being infused with magical power, the Hand Skeleton known as the Empty Roar Sword can absorb and compress air, transforming it into bolts of energy lightning! Then, it envelops the energy lightning with Gang Qi and shoots out bursts of Qi Explosion Sword!

Because it was a temporary rental, the rent was extremely high, and given that they knew she intended to use it for a competition, they refused to insure her!

Since the start of the war, Su Su has been carefully protecting her Hand Skeleton, constantly checking the durability display reported by the Hand Skeleton ' self-check!

The durability of the Hand Skeleton has also decreased from 95% at the start of the war to 94% now!

The so-called durability is an estimated value that takes into account various wear and tear values Hand Skeleton.

Generally, serious malfunctions will occur when the durability drops below 20%, it will cease to function properly below 10%, and it will be completely scrapped when it reaches 0%!

Su Su knew even better that this rented Empty Roar Sword... would experience a dramatic increase in maintenance costs for every 10% or more decrease in durability!

She made up her mind. "End this battle before the durability drops to 85%!"

At this moment, Su Su circulated her magic power, channeled her level 15 Crimson Fire Gang Qi, Gang Qi she had painstakingly cultivated, into her Hand Skeleton, and unleashed a series of fiery Qi Explosion Sword towards Zhang Yu!

Amidst the deafening explosions, countless Formless Warrior charged forward, meeting the Qi Explosion Sword head-on and unleashing a series of violent blasts!

Amidst the surging heat waves and hurricane-like winds, Bu Ziran on the other side finally unleashed the Sword Qi he had been accumulating for so long!

During the break, Bu Ziran felt a surge of frustration whenever he recalled the defeat he suffered at Zhang Yu's hands in the first half!

In order to better counter Zhang Yu in the second half, he first changed the Sword Qi output mode of his Lung Skeleton, switching from the commonly used Lung Metal Sword Qi to the Geng Metal Hair Sword Qi!

The Hand Skeleton was also replaced with a Hand Skeleton capable of performing high-speed sword techniques, named Swift Sword!

However, because the Swift Sword was Bu Ziran's spare Hand Skeleton that he didn't use often, it had never been maintained or serviced, and its durability after self-inspection was only 33%!

Upon realizing this, To Ziran frowned slightly, thinking, "It's alright, this battle shouldn't wear down the durability too much. I'll find time to repair it after the battle!"

At this moment, Bu Ziran used his Lung Skeleton to propel the Tang Golden Bull Hair Sword Qi into the Swift Sword in his right hand, and then unleashed the level 15 Martial Arts, Heaven Waterfall Sword!

In an instant, streams of golden Sword Qi poured out like a celestial river flowing backward, carrying overlapping and intertwined golden threads, towards Zhang Yu!

At that moment, Zhang Yu faced the greatest crisis of the day!

Whether it's Ma Xuan's Formless Thousand Hands Yang Yan's Flick Finger Startle Blood, Gusu Su Qi Explosion Sword, or Bu Ziran's Heaven Waterfall Sword... all of them have been enhanced by various materials, Dharma Skeleton, and Cultivation Method, and in the process of being pushed step by step, they have unleashed power far exceeding the original Cultivation Method!

Worse still, faced with this relentless, quantity-driven attack, the Nine Heavens Cloud Void Force seemed to have suddenly lost its purpose!

As the Gang Qi surged and was consumed, Sword Qi, flames, Blood Lightning, and Silver Palm would tear through the Formless Cloud Gang from time to time, striking Zhang Yu's body fiercely!

In the blink of an eye, he had more than a dozen wounds all over his body, and he looked covered in blood!

"If only I had Xiao Qingxuan's 20-Strike Nine Dragons Heavenly Gang Palm technique in this state!"

But Zhang Yu knew that although his Nine Heavens Cloud Void Force could borrow force to fight back, the borrowed force could only be temporarily stored in the Void Aperture. At this moment, there was no power of the Nine Dragons Heavenly Gang Palm in the Void Aperture!

However, Zhang Yu, who was observing the entire scene with his Three-Eyed Divine Power, remained calm!

He thought to himself, "I can't keep passively taking hits like this; I have to find a way out!"

"Drink."

With a roar, Zhang Yu's Formless Cloud Gang suddenly expanded and spread outwards in all directions!

At the same time, figures emerged from the sea of clouds, charging fiercely in all directions!

Bang bang bang bang! One after another, figures were brutally destroyed under the combined attack of the four!

However, taking advantage of the distraction of the attack, Zhang Yu's main body rushed towards Bu Ziran, who was closest to him!

"Long-range attacks definitely counter my playstyle!"

"But ranged attacks also have a drawback: when I engage in melee combat with your teammates, your offensive will inevitably be weakened... and you might even end up attacking your teammates!"

"If you're going to get beaten up, then find someone to share the beating with!"

Seeing Bu Ziran retreating rapidly in front of him, Zhang Yu grinned and charged forward!

As for why he chose this target, it was naturally because Zhang Yu still remembered how the other person flaunted their wealth in the Competition Group!

Fu Ji thought to herself, "Zhang Yu has always been quite resentful of the rich!"
