Jiang Qingzhu's Shock: How is This Possible!

6800 kilograms?

What kind of concept is that?

Jiang Qingzhu remembered her own maximum punch power was barely 2000 kilograms.

Even so, that already far surpassed most Second-Tier, Fourth-Layer martial artists, ranking first in the entire school... well, now it was second in the school.

A normal martial artist who had just entered the Third-Tier had a maximum punch power of 6000 kilograms.

This was already a number sufficient to stump ordinary martial artists for decades, even a lifetime.

Yet, someone who had just advanced to Second-Tier and hadn't even practiced a Breathing Technique had achieved and surpassed it.

Jiang Qingzhu couldn't help but think.

If this 6800-kilogram figure was Ye Li's maximum punch power, then during the sparring match this afternoon, he actually had the complete ability to find an opening and severely injure her with a single punch.

But he didn't do that in the end, only delivering a light punch and palm strike to her face.

He had only knocked her unconscious.

This couldn't even be called holding back; it was practically letting the floodgates open!

Jiang Qingzhu's heart trembled violently, a sense of shame rising from the depths of her heart.

Ye Li had shown such mercy, yet she had confidently said those arrogant words like "You can't win against me" and "It's over."

It was simply... too embarrassing!

A true genius should be like Ye Li.

Not only hiding their strength but also not letting the enemy know, making the opponent mistakenly believe it was an evenly matched fight.

"If I hadn't brought my spear today, I would have definitely sent you flying with one shot!"

Recalling Ye Li's words in her mind, Jiang Qingzhu's red lips pressed tightly together.

What she had initially thought was boastful nonsense now seemed to be the truth.

Defeating her, who was wielding the Silver Dragon White Spear, with bare hands. Such strength would undoubtedly shine brightly in this Martial Arts Exam, it was already a certainty.

And then there was that Martial Arts Talent capable of rapid physical recovery. Although the grade was unknown, it was at least not lower than A-Grade.

In conclusion, Ye Li's strength could already rank him in the absolute top tier among all the Martial Arts High Schools in Ying Province.

The possibility of him contending for the championship was also quite high!

Just as Jiang Qingzhu was reeling from the numbers on the Punch Power Tester.

Text continuously appeared on Ye Li's panel.

[Consumed 1000 Malice Points, beginning to upgrade Third-Tier Martial Skill: Riding the Wind Dragon Classic!]

[Your Spear Martial Saint Body is taking effect. Martial skills that were previously like an unsolvable mystery now appear quite simple to you...]

[Gained buff: Cultivation Speed increased by 500%!]

[It's like a complex calculus problem where the answer is directly given to you; now you just need to copy down the tedious solution!]

[Accelerating cultivation!]

[As Malice Points are consumed, your understanding of this precious martial skill deepens. You begin to grasp the meaning of "Riding the Dragon"...]

[The so-called 'Riding the Dragon' means that when executing this martial skill, one can wield their spear like a swift, swimming dragon. Both the spearhead and the spear body possess immense destructive power, capable of easily tearing through the defenses of martial artists of the same tier!]

[Having understood this, you begin to put in strenuous effort in this area...]

[Ding! Cultivation complete!]

[Riding the Wind Dragon Classic: Great Accomplishment (70%)]

[Commentary: The gains from this cultivation session are approximately equal to your previous twenty years of arduous training. Who could withstand the effort of those twenty years!]

[Remaining Malice Points: 3400]

Twenty years of arduous training just to bring the Riding the Wind Dragon Classic to Great Accomplishment?

Ye Li's lips twitched slightly. He didn't choose to go all-in.

Martial skill proficiency was divided into five stages: Novice, Proficient, Expert, Great Accomplishment, and Perfect.

Judging by this pace, less than a thousand more Malice Points would be needed to bring this Riding the Wind Dragon Classic to Perfect.

He vaguely recalled that a previous Second-Tier precious martial skill had cost him three thousand Malice Points. Now, a higher-tier precious martial skill only cost a thousand points to reach Great Accomplishment.

This was not unrelated to the bonus from the [Spear Martial Saint Body], but Ye Li felt it also had to do with his persistence and effort.

An old martial artist who had practiced for many years and a young martial artist who had just started, even if their talent in their youth was the same, there would be a difference in how quickly they grasped a martial skill.

The former would be significantly faster than the latter.

"I'm done reading."

Ye Li looked at Jiang Qingzhu, who was still lost in thought, and handed her the ancient text. He then said, "I'll start teaching you now. Are you ready?"

"So soon?" Jiang Qingzhu came back to her senses and asked subconsciously, a little surprised.

Then she stood up: "Shall I demonstrate it for you now?"

She thought Ye Li just wanted a quick run-through to gauge her proficiency level.

"No need for such trouble."

Ye Li also stood up, walked to the weapon rack in the corner of the room, and took down a black spear.

He turned to look at Jiang Qingzhu and said calmly:

"Perform the Riding the Wind Dragon Classic, then attack me. Fighting to grow stronger is always the fastest way to improve."

"Of course, except for adding points."

"Attack?"

Jiang Qingzhu was stunned. How was he going to guide her to break through?

Was he going to find flaws in her martial skills?

Despite her confusion, after seeing Ye Li nod in confirmation, she quickly touched the ring on her hand and summoned a snow-white long spear.

It still blended with her aura, enhancing her presence.

She had found this spear interesting last time, and it was even more so the second time she saw it...

Ye Li looked at the silver-white spear and nodded slightly.

"Silver Dragon White Spear, a Second-Tier Top-Grade Treasure Tool."

Sensing Ye Li's gaze lingering on her weapon, Jiang Qingzhu said in a clear, cold voice:

"It can both enhance my cold air projection and boost the power of my martial skills."

"Come on." Ye Li lowered his chin and raised his spear.

His gaze calmly fixed on the opponent.

Jiang Qingzhu nodded and took a deep breath.

She activated her Breathing Technique, and the True Qi within her body began to surge.

The next second, her figure disappeared from its original spot.

In her seriousness, her speed was even a few points faster than when they sparred in the afternoon!

When she reappeared, Jiang Qingzhu was already less than three feet away from Ye Li.

Her seven-foot white spear, like a dragon emerging from the sea, smashed directly towards Ye Li's center.

The sharp spearhead emitted a white light, piercing the air directly, unstoppable!

Ye Li's dark eyes lowered.

Jiang Qingzhu's Riding the Wind Dragon Classic was likely at the "Proficient" level, with her spearhead already showing a white glow capable of "armor penetration."

Among peers, this was already an extremely outstanding achievement.

However, after cultivating the Riding the Wind Dragon Classic to Great Accomplishment, Jiang Qingzhu's attack routes were simply too obvious in his eyes.

Surging True Qi erupted within Ye Li's body, circulating rapidly through the acupoints opened by the Riding the Wind Dragon Classic.

Humph!

Accompanied by a clear spear cry, a phantom dragon illusion suddenly appeared on Ye Li's black spear!

At this moment, Jiang Qingzhu's spear tip reached his front.

Ye Li slightly shifted his body, dodging her spear tip with an extremely subtle movement. He raised his right hand holding the spear and suddenly exerted force, casually swinging it towards Jiang Qingzhu's body.

The entire movement flowed like water, without the slightest hint of hesitation.

And the moment the black spear swung, the air immediately made a tearing sound, with illusory dragon scales appearing and disappearing!

This!

Seeing the strange phenomenon on the spear, a deep shock surged in Jiang Qingzhu's eyes.

This phantom image was precisely what she had been longing for.

This was the phenomenon that appeared only after cultivating the Riding the Wind Dragon Classic to Great Accomplishment!

How was this possible?

From when he obtained the Riding the Wind Dragon Classic to now, it had been at most ten minutes!
