The Final Four

"Luo Gaogao!"

As she roared and attacked again, a faint blue light flashed in Zhang Manqian's eyes.

But when she saw Luo Gaogao spitting on the ground, her anger quickly subsided.

"Don't hit me! I feel dizzy, lightheaded, nauseous, and uncomfortable!"

Lying on the ground, Luo Gaogao quickly regained consciousness.

But because he recovered so quickly, Luo Gaogao felt he would rather remain in a coma.

The match was not over yet, and the medical team had not yet entered the venue.

The thought of the agonizing wait filled Luo Gaogao with waves of despair.

Seeing Zhang Manqian turn to face him in just a few seconds, Luo Gaogao immediately begged for mercy.

He didn't want to suffer physical abuse on top of his emotional trauma.

"You cannot mistreat prisoners of war!"

Muttering the most pitiful words he could muster, Luo Gaogao clutched his temples tightly.

The stronger his counterattack against Zhang Xuezhou, the fiercer Zhang Xuezhou's counterattack became.

If it weren't for his body's resistance and the limitations of Zhang Xuezhou's Gene Fighting Technique, Luo Gaogao felt that Zhang Xuezhou would have already whipped his corpse countless times.

"I'll spare you this time!"

Zhang Manqian glanced at Luo Gaogao several times before loosening her fist.

Luo Gaogao's symptoms were very obvious, and only Zhang Xuezhou could have caused such trauma.

But just thinking about how Luo Gaogao grabbed Zhang Xuezhou and slammed him around, Zhang Manqian felt that even beating Luo Gaogao to death wouldn't be unjust.

"Snort!"

She snorted softly through her nostrils, then pointed to her body, where the swelling and lacerations from her fight with Luo Gaogao began to heal rapidly.

"My Law Power has indeed undergone a qualitative change!"

Watching her injuries heal so quickly, Zhang Manqian took a deep breath.

Anger was clearly the biggest factor in her breakthrough in this competition.

Seeing Zhang Xuezhou beaten to the point of being unable to move, she felt as if countless parts of her body were on fire.

It wasn't just her spirit that was burning; it was also the impurities produced during her cultivation that were being burned away.

As her body became increasingly clear and transparent, Zhang Manqian also saw the constraints brought about by forcibly pushing her cultivation forward with the Origin-Nurturing Pill.

Without the stimulation of a mental outburst, this constraint can only be removed through the X446 repair technology, but this is a high-end medical procedure that is currently difficult for them to obtain.

"The strength of one's spirit and the outburst of one's emotions seem to reduce the difficulty of breaking through realms!"

Zhang Manqian lacks intimidation-type combat techniques, which means that Zhang Manqian training in the Mental Strengthening Chapter is not particularly proactive.

It wasn't until she was pushed forward twice by the X432 repair technology that she was able to reach the level of Chapter 4 of the Mental Strengthening Chapter.

She wandered through the ruins of the Song family, constantly reflecting on her breakthrough to the True Spirit Realm, attempting to summarize and generalize more of her experiences.

"I wonder if there are any other useful techniques!"

Realm, mental strength, technique, gene strength, gene density, gene distribution, gene efficacies, Gene Fighting Technique.

Numerous thoughts swirled in Zhang Manqian's mind, yet she struggled to form a coherent whole.

She felt that her current cultivation was extremely fragmented, and while enjoying the benefits of the two cultivation methods, the price she paid was much higher than normal.

This is undoubtedly a practice that is difficult to sustain.

Considering the availability and price of high-end medical care, and also the fact that Zhang Xuezhou's needs are even greater, Zhang Manqian pondered for a long time on the Realm Technique and the Mental Strengthening Chapter, and felt that among all her needs, Zhang Xuezhou should undoubtedly be given priority.

Only if Zhang Xuezhou, the leader, runs far enough, will she have the opportunity to follow even further.

"At the moment, it's barely enough for me!"

Her gaze was fixed on the distance, and the sensation of her Law Power extending and her spiritual perception assisting her in exploring further reached her. Zhang Manqian had already 'seen' Song Fengying, who had been chased into a corner, and Zhang Xuezhou was constantly approaching Lu Da.

This prompted Zhang Manqian to quickly shift her focus to the other side.

There, Wang Li and Zhu Kuang were locked in a fierce battle.

Zhu Kuang repeatedly tried to leave, but was held back by Wang Li's unreasonable nagging.

As Zhang Manqian's footsteps drew closer and he saw Zhang Manqian sweeping gaze, Zhu Kuang felt inexplicably nervous.

"Gao Gao!" Zhu Kuang exclaimed.

"He's already lying down!"

Zhang Manqian responded and leaped five meters away as she sprinted forward.

A fierce gust of wind descended from above, and Zhu Kuang's face turned deathly pale.

"Go easy on me!"

He cried out, then felt a sharp pain in his shoulder and could no longer exert any strength in his arms.

He was about to lift his foot, but then he abruptly pulled it back.

It's not surprising that he could defeat Luo Gaogao and surpass Zhu Kuang.

Faced with the choice between resisting and being beaten or surrendering decisively, Zhu Kuang chose the latter.

"Take off the monitor, I'm not fighting anymore!"

Zhu Kuang shook his head and stretched out his hands as if to surrender, but when he could no longer raise them, he had no choice but to squat down.

"They've been eliminated in the quarterfinals!"

Seeing the monitor on his chest turned off, Zhu Kuang felt a chill in his heart, realizing that all his years of hard work were ultimately no match for these formidable dark horses who had emerged victorious.

"I've always felt that Ding Hao is unreliable; you should stay with our team," Zhu Kuang muttered.

"I'm still sick," Zhang Manqian said, "My performance is very inconsistent!"

"I'm worried about your inconsistent performance!"

Zhu Kuang looked at Zhang Manqian in front of him, and then thought about Zhang Manqian's outburst that day.

He sensed that Zhang Manqian's unstable condition had recurred.

But they still pushed him forward with their own efforts. Just thinking about the opponent's frenzied fighting power, which was unafraid of pain, made Zhu Kuang feel miserable.

"Eight quarterfinals is fine, it's better than sixteen," Zhu Kuang muttered. "It would be best if your ranking improved a little bit more, that would determine whether we're fifth or sixth, seventh, or eighth!"

Victory is certain!

Zhang Manqian nodded.

They almost lost when facing Luo Gaogao's team.

If the opposing team hadn't split up and intercepted the attackers, and instead had acquired their weapons, the outcome of this match could have been very different.

But when Zhang Manqian accepted Zhu Kuang's request, her confidence continued to rise.

The True Spirit Realm brought about many differences, and this realm had a very subtle effect on the Mental Strengthening Chapter.

Besides Law Power remote locking ability and subtle perception, this even allowed Zhang Manqian's Tiger and Crane Dual Forms to reach a higher level.

Unafraid of close combat, undaunted by long-range attacks, and even to some extent beginning to fear being surrounded, she can unleash the ferocity of a tiger and the agility of a crane.

If she were to step onto the sequencing arena, Zhang Manqian felt she could easily achieve a perfect record right now.

These opponents could even include Luo Gaogao, Zuo Teng, and others.

"Is victory guaranteed?"

Seeing Zhang Manqian's resolute response, Zhu Kuang felt utterly regretful.

A champion team falling to the quarterfinals depends on the ranking of the opposing team. It's impossible for Zhu Kuang to remain calm.

But the outcome of this battle is already decided.

Luo Gaogao's defeat directly determined the outcome of the competition, and Zhu Kuang didn't even need to ask Ding Hao, Lu Da, or Lu Er for information.

Zhang Manqian stayed with him, clearly indicating that she also knew the outcome of the match.

The team that "lay down in large numbers" wins!

As the announcement of the winner came over the loudspeaker, Zhu Kuang's mind raced with thoughts.

Congratulations!

He pondered his relationship with Zhang Manqian, Zhang Xuezhou, and others, and felt that there was no estrangement between them because of the competition.

On the contrary, they are also bound by shared interests.

After thinking for a while, Zhu Kuang had completely come to a conclusion.

Shared interests created a bond in their relationship, which made Zhu Kuang feel no awkwardness.

They may even have more interactions and deepen cooperation in the future.

An obscure Lineage can hardly cooperate with the Zhu family on an equal footing, and can only give them some face. But a Lineage that won a sequencing conference can cooperate with the Zhu family.

Having witnessed this Lineage team, Zhu Kuang felt that the impact of this sequencing event would be far-reaching, and might even shake the Lineage order in Western Capital decades later.
