Sulfuric acid!
The two became entangled again, Artistic Conception swords clashing, creating a scene of desolation and decay.
The other is frost, like Snowfall falling from the sky, causing the temperature of the entire Giant Palace to drop significantly.
Boom!
The frost shattered the withered, the Sword Light disdainfully pierced the Saber Intent. Cui Xianer wielded her soft sword, and the terrifying Sword Light, like a divine rainbow, pierced through the Void, creating ripples.
Jiang Ping was deeply moved. His opponent's Sword Art was indeed very strong, a truly remarkable Mystic Skill, while his own Blade Art was showing signs of weakness.
Bang bang bang.
The two exchanged blows repeatedly, but Cui Xianer ultimately prevailed in skill.
Her black dress was spotless. She drew her sword and approached, her entire being exuding Artistic Conception of frost, as if to freeze the entire arena.
Click!
Jiang Ping managed to fight his way out and then ran away.
"Where do you think you're going!"
Cui Xianer was like a Female God of War, with explosions arising beneath her feet as she chased after him, treading on the Void.
The arena resounded continuously, and everyone saw that the Martial Bone Talent seemed to be in a sorry state, being chased and beaten.
"After all, we haven't practiced martial arts long enough, and we've run out of tricks," a senior brother sighed.
Jiang Ping started much later and lacked the necessary skills, which was why Cui Xianer dared to challenge him.
"Don't you guys think this person is deliberately avoiding things, as if they want to play a war of attrition?"
A Rebirth suddenly said.
On the arena, although Cui Xianer's Sword Art was strong, Jiang Ping's escape techniques were light and agile, making it difficult for the former to catch up.
"They're both at the True Qi First Stage, and the total amount of True Qi isn't much, so it's easy to deplete it. However, while Cui Xianer is expending her energy, Jiang Ping is also panting heavily. That Evasion Technique also relies on True Qi, which is very energy-consuming."
Cao Qingzhi frowned and added, "Both sides are in similar condition; Jiang Ping still can't win."
"Jiang Ping is Martial Bone Talent, and he still has Innate Bone Techniques that he hasn't used yet. The power of these Bone Techniques is no less than that of Mystic Skills," Jin Ze said.
"That makes sense. If Jiang Ping uses his Innate Bone Technique, he might be able to fight Cui Xianer to a draw."
"You can now use Bone Technique."
On the stage, Cui Xianer's face was pale.
Although her Sword Art was unparalleled, she hadn't studied escape techniques much, and in terms of footwork, she was inferior to her opponent.
"You've used up most of your True Qi."
Jiang Ping finally stopped; he was indeed playing a war of attrition.
Unfortunately, no matter how good one's comprehension is, the short time spent practicing martial arts means that one's skills are somewhat lacking.
"I'm curious, what kind of Offensive Techniques do you have with your Bone Technique?"
Cui Xianer remained fearless.
Her Mystic Skill is no less impressive than Innate Bone Techniques.
Boom!
After saying this, Jiang Ping displayed the power of his Innate Bone Technique in front of others for the first time.
Suddenly, his pale face regained its rosy hue, and his listless aura surged to its peak, with powerful fluctuations of true True Qi ruffling Cui Xianer's hair.
"Recover?!"
Cui Xianer smoothed her hair and said in a deep voice, "Your Bone Technique is a restorative art, capable of restoring more than 50% or 60% of your Combat strength."
"More or less," Jiang Ping nodded.
"I see!"
At this moment, everyone realized that Jiang Ping's Bone Technique was a restorative technique that could instantly restore Combat strength.
No wonder they're resorting to a war of attrition.
"There are such Secret Techniques in the world that can restore about 40% or 50% of one's condition. I think Jiang Ping's Bone Technique must be even stronger, and at its limit, it can probably restore 60% or 70%," someone speculated.
"It's a rare and extraordinary skill, unparalleled in the world."
On the arena, Cui Xianer nodded and said, "I saw another Martial Bone Talent whose Bone Technique is a powerful Offensive Techniques. However, there are Mystic Skill that can rival that Offensive Techniques."
"Perhaps," she said slowly, pondering, "If we really have to compare the two Bone Techniques, yours will have a miraculous effect. In terms of prolonged combat, there are probably few people in the world who can compare to you."
"For example, my Secret Techniques cannot compare to yours."
As she finished speaking, the woman's aura also began to rise, and her depleted True Qi was instantly replenished, though it had not yet reached its peak.
"They have quite a few tricks up their sleeves." Jiang Ping was somewhat surprised; the other party also possessed recovery Secret Techniques.
Although it wasn't as powerful as his Bone Techniques, it was still quite amazing. He hadn't even found such a genuine technique in the Martial Academy, which shows how rare Recovery Techniques are and how profound the Cui Family's foundation is.
Jiang Ping immediately felt as if he were facing a formidable enemy, his face filled with seriousness.
However.
"I'm not playing anymore."
Cui Xianer shook her head, letting the Secret Technique fall silent.
She then sheathed her sword and stepped off the stage.
This Secret Technique has side effects on the individual; it is not Innate Bone Technique and therefore Flawed.
She needed to improve rapidly to prepare for the Dangerous Land Resource Battle two years later, and didn't want to leave any aftereffects that would delay her cultivation progress.
How about a draw?
Vice Headmaster Cui spoke.
"Okay." Jiang Ping nodded. Since he had already shown his talent and proven his strength, the outcome of this match was not important.
Then, he looked at the group of Rebirth: "Anyone who disagrees can come up on stage and fight."
The Rebirth remained silent, gazing upwards.
Such a Martial Bone Talent, though starting a little late, was still capable of defeating even Cui Xianer, let alone them.
Soon.
Jiang Ping successfully defended his title and received a resource reward from the Martial Academy.
Before the sparring session was even over, this Martial Bone Talent, who had just begun to display his talent, was taken away by Headmaster Qin.
"Brother Wang, this matter is troublesome. You may have made a powerful enemy for the Wang Family."
"From the Aristocratic Family Camp," a senior brother spoke up.
"Yes, a genius like that will most likely reach the Peak. You're in trouble."
"Brother Wang is so unlucky. We should take this as a lesson and cut ties cleanly when making decisions about someone's future, leaving no loose ends."
Wang Jiasheng listened in silence for a while, then said, "Great Li has enough Martial Saints and geniuses, but resources are limited. Not everyone necessarily wants another Mud Saint to emerge."
"Moreover, his Bone Technique is very rare, and perhaps some people are interested in investigating it," he added, a cold glint in his eyes.
The others smiled and remained silent.
Perhaps some people truly do not want to see a second Mud Leg martial saint emerge in the Great Li, but there are certainly others who want him to grow stronger.
Evening.
In a side hall, Jiang Ping sipped some tea, praising it from time to time.
It is said that this is Imperial Tribute, and it is usually only bestowed upon important figures at the Golden Core or above.
The taste is... well, Jiang Ping isn't a tea connoisseur. He put down his teacup and looked at the old man opposite him. "Headmaster Qin."
"You're not bad," Headmaster Qin said. "You're comparable to those kids from the Imperial City."
"With such talent, it might be difficult for him to quietly stay and cultivate at the Martial Academy."
"Please enlighten me, Dean," Jiang Ping asked.
He revealed his true strength in order to secure resources and achieve rapid advancement.
However, it was also clear that once the talent for Martial Bone was revealed, it would definitely attract attention.
"Entering the National Academy is a good choice."
"Oh?" Jiang Ping became interested. He had heard that the National Academy had many outstanding people and abundant resources. If he went there, he should be able to receive excellent training.
"However," Headmaster Qin changed the subject, "As far as I know, the best resources of the National Academy have already been divided up."
"If you go, I'm afraid you won't be able to obtain top-tier resources in a short time."
