Fu Yun stood about ten meters behind Xu Wuyi, with his arms folded across his chest, watching Xu Wuyi walk straight towards the phantom figure of Hong Nianyi, with a hint of an expected smile on his face.
He cleared his throat and introduced in a clear voice:
"These nine phantoms are all recognized as strong men in Red Star history, and have battle records left before level 35."
"Their fighting styles, martial arts moves and even the use of their true intentions have all been reproduced by "Red" as completely as possible. Even if they can only simulate 80-90% of the level, they are still extremely formidable opponents."
"The challenge is very simple. You only need to remain undefeated for three minutes under the attack of the phantom... Hey, wait a minute!"
He hasn't finished speaking yet.
Xu Wuyi has entered the sensing area.
His eyes were completely fixed on the pale golden light and shadow in front of him. Fu Yun's voice seemed to come from a far away place and was automatically filtered into a blurry background sound.
Xu Wuyi's entire mind has been drawn by that phantom.
It is an invisible pressure. Even if the phantom has not yet been "activated", even if the other party's face is blurred, the unique temperament belonging to Hong Nianyi has been conveyed through the figure constructed by this energy.
That was the existence that once "sent" him out of the arena with just one knife in the Youth Tournament arena.
The countdown appeared in the upper right corner of Xu Wuyi's field of vision without warning.
Scarlet numbers, ticking in seconds.
[03:00]
[02:59]
Coming.
Xu Wuyi's pupils shrank and his heart suddenly tightened.
He didn't hear Fu Yun's explanation about "holding on for three minutes" at all. His understanding was still stuck in Battle Net's regular battle mode - defeat the opponent within a limited time.
Three minutes.
This phantom must be defeated within three minutes.
Even if it's just her pre-level 35 state.
A strong sense of urgency gripped him instantly.
It is indeed the admission test of Red Star, it is indeed very difficult!
There is no time for hesitation, no time for developing complex tactics.
He must attack with all his might!
Just when the countdown jumped to [02:58], the pale golden human-shaped light and shadow above the pedestal slowly "opened" its eyes.
Two illusory but sharp eyes penetrated the blurred facial contours and fell on Xu Wuyi.
Buzz--!
The phantom moved.
There were no unnecessary movements, and it was not even clear how she drew the knife.
A blade of light as clear as autumn water tore apart the five-meter distance between the two without any warning, and slashed towards Xu Wuyi's throat!
Quick!
It was almost Xu Wuyi and there was almost no time to think, the body's instinct had already reacted.
<Instant Shadow Steps> exploded to the limit under his feet, and his body moved half a foot to the left like a ghost!
Tsk!
The light of the knife grazed the side of his neck, and the sharp knife intent stung his skin, causing a few strands of hair cut by Qi Jin to fall down.
Xu Wuyi didn't even have time to stabilize his body, the second knife was already chasing him!
This sword was no longer a straight slash, but turned into a continuous curtain of swords, like mercury pouring down the ground, covering his whole body pervasively.
"Okay!"
Xu Wuyi's fighting spirit suddenly rose in his heart.
He knew that Hong Nianyi was strong, but he didn't expect that at the same energy level, the opponent's speed, reaction, and sword skills could be so fast!
This is not the crushing of Life Energy Level, this is simply fast!
Cannot withdraw.
Once he is completely involved in this kind of sword force, he will not be able to hold on for long before he will be completely suppressed and defeated.
He must interrupt the opponent's rhythm!
"Drink!"
Xu Wuyi lowered his back and sat on the horse, no longer dodging, and Long Spear shook violently in his hand!
<Eight Directions Soul-Suppressing Spear>--Mountain-Suppressing Form!
The gun body is like a dragon, with a calm and heavy artistic conception, and it crashes into the sword light!
Dang! Dang, Dang, Dang, Dang!
There was a loud bang like rain hitting banana trees!
Every time the tip of the gun collided with the light of the sword, a burst of tiny energy sparks exploded.
Xu Wuyi only felt his arms shaking violently and his mouth numb. Every blow Hong Nianyi made was incredibly heavy. It was not like the force that a "same energy level" Martial Artist could cut with.
But he was also keenly aware that the other party's power was actually on par with his own.
The reason why it feels heavy is because the opponent's way of exerting force is extremely subtle. Each sword condenses the whole body's strength without wasting any. The sword's intention is sharp and pure, which can greatly increase the penetrating power of the slash.
"Her Body Tempering Method is not inferior to <Hundred Refinements Furnace>!" Xu Wuyi understood clearly in his heart.
Only the top B-level or even higher-level Body Tempering Method can develop such a powerful physique and power control at the same energy level.
In the blink of an eye, the two of them had exchanged more than ten moves.
Xu Wuyi is completely at a disadvantage.
The <Eight Directions Soul-Suppressing Spear> defensive circle that he was so proud of, actually seemed to be weak in front of Hong Nianyi's sword light, with frequent flaws.
This is the gap in combat experience and the depth of understanding of martial arts.
Hong Nianyi Although this phantom left behind only has the strength she had before level 35, its combat intelligence and use of martial arts have long exceeded the scope of ordinary martial arts masters.
Fortunately, after completing Xu Wuyi<Basic Body Tempering Method>, I have a completely new understanding of martial arts, otherwise I might have failed in one face-to-face encounter.
Although there is a slight difference now, it is more because I am not used to Hong Nianyi's too fast knife skills.
Poof!
A ray of sword light finally broke through the blockade of the gun shadow, leaving a deep, bone-visible wound on Xu Wuyi's left shoulder.
The virtual pain felt real and blood splattered.
Xu Wuyi groaned, but took advantage of the impact and retreated sharply, with a stern look in his eyes.
We can no longer be passive defensive like this.
The countdown has jumped to [01:59].
One minute passed, and not only did he fail to gain any advantage, he was instead left with scars.
Strategies must change.
Since you can't defend, then attack!
His advantage has never been perfect skills, but the strong physique brought by <Hundred Refinements Furnace>, the majestic Blood and Qi, and... the true flame that belongs exclusively to him!
"Furnace Boiling Blood!"
Xu Wuyi roared in his heart and no longer had any reservations.
Boom!
Dark red Blood and Qi flames rose into the sky, mixed with wisps of golden light, and the temperature inside Cultivation Room rose sharply.
His aura surged instantly, and his speed, strength, and reaction were all improved!
Long Spear turned into a dark red angry dragon in his hand. It no longer pursued perfect defense, but used offense instead of defense, killing lives with gunfire. With a tragic momentum that burned everything, it rolled back towards Hong Nianyi's sword light!
Trade injury for injury!
Tsk! Tsk!
Xu Wuyi instantly received two more stab wounds on his body, but he didn't seem to notice it. Long Spear was like a dragon coming out of its cave, biting Hong Nianyi's sword.
Finally, in a dangerous encounter, the tip of his spear grazed Hong Nianyi Phantom's left arm.
A wisp of dark golden flame, like a living vine, instantly climbed up!
[Undying Flame]!
