Gao Wu: My martial arts technique has entries.

Chapter 17 Defeating the Enemy [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

Xu Yue pointed out the weakness of the Bloodbath Eight Directions technique incisively, and then looked at the Thousand-Pound Breaking Formation Technique and said: "This Thousand-Pound Breaking Formation Technique is the ultimate method of charging into formations and escaping."

"It doesn't have many advantages, only extreme speed and ferocity."

"However, this Thousand-Pound Formation Breaking Technique sacrifices evasion for extreme speed. When charging into an formation, one often has to withstand the attacks of others head-on. Unless one can cultivate defensive hard skills to the level of breaking through the limit, it is not recommended to cultivate this technique."

At this point, Xu Yue looked at the last movement technique and said, "I suggest you choose the Eight Trigrams Swimming Dragon Step."

"The Eight Trigrams Dragon Step combines combat and escape. Although it is not top-notch compared to any single move, it is considered excellent in both aspects."

Chu Kuang's eyes lit up, and he asked directly, "Can I cultivate Blood Battle in All Directions and Thousand-Pound Formation Breaking at the same time?"

"Practicing two major movement techniques simultaneously?" Xu Yue pondered for a moment, then couldn't help but say, "This will waste a lot of your time."

"I've made up my mind."

Chu Kuang spoke, his gaze resolute.

He knew very well that, although both were at the upper level, there was a huge gap between ordinary techniques and specialized techniques.

The Bloodbath in All Directions technique is one of the strongest combat techniques. Its core lies in enhancing a person's perception and insight. Combined with a powerful physique, it can often be incredibly strong.

With the added advantage of cultivation techniques, Chu Kuang's combat strength will at least be among the top in his class in the future.

The same goes for the Thousand-Pound Breaking Formation Technique. The extreme speed brought by this technique is top-tier among its peers, whether used for escaping or charging into formations.

Although practicing two volumes of movement techniques together would distract Chu Kuang somewhat, he had the tenfold increase in cultivation speed from perfecting the movement techniques, so practicing one more volume wouldn't significantly reduce his cultivation speed.

"Your personality is indeed suited to martial arts."

Xu Yue shook his head and didn't try to persuade him any further.

Martial arts cultivation emphasizes a clear and unobstructed mind. People with a firm will like Chu Kuang find it much easier to break through bottlenecks.

Those who are weak-willed and prone to hesitation, even if they are highly talented, often find it difficult to achieve great success.

"You should focus on your cultivation. You started learning advanced techniques relatively late, so you need to catch up quickly."

Xu Yue offered Chu Kuang some encouragement and then transmitted the two volumes of cultivation techniques to him.

Having obtained the cultivation techniques, Chu Kuang returned to the martial arts room with satisfaction. Just as he was about to study and cultivate the two martial arts, he discovered that Jiang Feng had also come over.

"I heard you've been going to Lin Shuyao's house a lot lately?"

Jiang Feng spoke calmly and slightly coldly, with a subtle warning in his eyes.

Chu Kuang frowned slightly, recalling how attentive Jiang Feng was to Lin Shuyao, and calmly said, "I'll go to her house to tutor her."

"Private tutor?"

Jiang Feng's expression immediately turned slightly cold. He, Chu Kuang, and Lin Shuyao had all attended the same middle school.

He had a crush on Lin Shuyao for many years and knew that Chu Kuang and Lin Shuyao had a somewhat ambiguous relationship back then, but he could only keep quiet because he couldn't beat Chu Kuang.

Fortunately, Chu Kuang later wasted a lot of time focusing on basic martial arts, and his relationship with Lin Shuyao gradually became distant, which made him feel that he had found an opportunity.

So when choosing a high school, he directly enrolled in Class 7, hoping to have an advantage by being close to the top.

In his view, Lin Shuyao was not only beautiful, but also had extraordinary martial arts talent and an extremely rare family background.

If he can win over Lin Shuyao, not only will breaking through to the Transcendent Realm be a breeze, but his chances of breaking through to the Extraordinary Realm will also greatly increase.

So even though Lin Shuyao was indifferent to him, he believed that with his talent and strength, plus his determination to pursue her relentlessly, he would eventually win her over.

If he wants to win over Lin Shuyao, Chu Kuang is his biggest potential rival, and he absolutely will not allow Chu Kuang to continue getting close to Lin Shuyao.

Thinking of this, Jiang Feng said coldly, "Resign from tutoring immediately and stay as far away from Lin Shuyao as possible."

"Aren't you sick?"

Chu Kuang was stunned for a moment, then looked at Jiang Feng as if he were an idiot.

Having said that, Chu Kuang didn't bother to talk to him anymore and turned to leave.

Watching Chu Kuang's retreating figure, Jiang Feng's gaze turned cold: 'No, we must let him continue to sink deeper into depravity. It would be best to thoroughly humiliate him in front of Lin Shuyao, making her completely disappointed in him.'

"Wait a minute."

Thinking of this, Jiang Feng called out to Chu Kuang, his face cold, and said, "It seems your strength has improved quite a bit recently. Come and lend a hand."

"Never mind, weapons have no eyes, I'm afraid I'll hurt you."

Chu Kuang shook his head, not intending to fight him, and prepared to turn around and leave.

You'd better be careful.

Seeing Chu Kuang refuse, Jiang Feng's pupils turned slightly cold, and then he charged at Chu Kuang like a bull.

One move: Bull Charges Over the Mountain!
The fist whistled through the air, its force as powerful as the heavens, creating a shockwave in the air.

Faced with Jiang Feng's sudden attack, Chu Kuang's pupils suddenly turned cold, but his body did not dodge or evade. He pushed his Iron Armor Technique to its limit, turned around and threw a powerful punch.

The two fists collided, producing a sound like thunder.

The shockwave exploded outwards from the two of them, and some students watching nearby were so shocked that they stepped back, their faces showing a hint of horror.

Chu Kuang swayed slightly and took a half step back, leaving a shallow footprint on the dark alloy floor beneath his feet.

Jiang Feng took three steps back, his right fist trembling slightly, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He threw a punch with all his might, combining it with the powerful physique of the Bull-like technique, enough to shatter stone tablets and split rocks, yet it felt like he'd smashed into a steel gate. "Your Iron Armor Technique has reached its peak?"

Jiang Feng was somewhat shocked, and the coldness in his pupils grew even more intense.

Chu Kuang didn't speak, but simply kicked up a large spear and calmly pointed it at Jiang Feng, his invisible fighting spirit already fully revealed.

Jiang Feng felt a chill in his heart. Looking into the distance, he noticed that Lin Shuyao's gaze had also turned towards him.

"What a hard turtle shell!"

Jiang Feng flicked his wrist, his eyes blazing with even stronger fighting spirit. "Then take this move again!"

He crossed his fists in front of his chest, his muscles suddenly swelled, and his skin turned a violent crimson red. This was the initial stage of the "Bull Transformation," a skill that could only be mastered at the peak of the "Bull Technique"!

This technique was created based on the innate talent of the Bull Tribe. Once unleashed, it is like going berserk, temporarily and significantly enhancing the physique and strength of the martial artist.

Chu Kuang's eyes narrowed, knowing that the other party was about to get serious.

With a flick of his right hand, the spear in his hand emerged like a silver dragon from its cave, its tip drawing seven cold stars in the air—the very starting stance of the Spear Spear Technique, "Seven Stars Splitting the Moon."

Jiang Feng roared and unleashed a barrage of punches like a torrential downpour. Each punch carried the power to split mountains and shatter rocks, creating a series of powerful punches that, even after blocking the Seven Stars Shining Moon, still surged toward Chu Kuang with their residual force.

"Well done!"

Chu Kuang wielded his spear, changing his thrust into a sweep. The spear curved slightly and smashed down with extreme force, instantly piercing through the fist shadow and heading straight for Jiang Feng's chest.

In the face of danger, Jiang Feng stretched out his hands to block, but was still smashed and sent flying more than ten feet away, spitting out a mouthful of blood with a "pfft".

Before Jiang Feng could react, a long spear was already pressed against his throat.

"The Bull Transformation is powerful, but your Bull Fist is still not enough."

Chu Kuang calmly sheathed his spear and walked back to his seat.

Jiang Feng's face turned pale as he watched Chu Kuang's departing figure, a hint of fear and resentment flashing in his eyes.

At that moment, many spectators looked on in astonishment, and one of them asked with a shocked expression, "How did Chu Kuang suddenly become so strong?"

"Chu Kuang made it into the top 1,000 in the Tianheng ranking competition yesterday. It was expected that he could defeat Jiang Feng."

Some students, who were closely following the Tianheng ranking matches, unsurprisingly spoke up.

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately turned on their smartwatches and checked the leaderboard of the Tianheng Ranking Competition. Finally, they found Chu Kuang's name at number 986.

【Chu Kuang】

Tianheng No.3 Middle School

[Ranking: 986]

"They really made it into the top 1,000."

Many people were taken aback, their faces showing shock.

But some people were surprised and couldn't help but ask, "How did he progress so quickly? It's one thing to have mastered the basic external skills, but how did he also break through to the Great Perfection of Iron Armor Skill?"

"I understand. He must have applied for an interest-free loan and directly used the source energy potion to break through the Iron Armor Technique."

"Using source energy potions to help external martial arts break through to the Great Perfection stage, and it's still only a basic external martial arts stage, isn't that too wasteful?"

The crowd was abuzz with discussion, feeling surprised and astonished.

The source energy potion is extremely valuable. If they cannot break through to the Transcendent Realm, they may have to go without food or drink for ten years to buy one.

Generally speaking, the source energy potion is best used when breaking through to the Transcendent Realm, or at the very least when the cultivation technique reaches perfection.

Using it to assist in achieving a breakthrough in external martial arts is simply a waste of its potential.

So they were surprised and taken aback, but there was no other reason to explain how Chu Kuang's Iron Armor Technique could be mastered so quickly.

"In my opinion, Chu Kuang might not necessarily suffer a loss by doing this."

"His Iron Armor Skill has been perfected, and his basic external skills have been perfected. He fought his way up to the top 1,000 in the Tianheng Ranking Competition. Even if he doesn't make any major breakthroughs next, his chances of breaking into the top 100 in the grade at the end of the semester should not be low."

"Moreover, the top 1,000 also receive an interest-free loan of 100,000, so his abilities may improve considerably in the future."

"For people like them, sometimes it's all about getting ahead quickly. This final exam opportunity in the Dark Domain is the dividing line between elites and ordinary people."

"Yes, those who can get into the top 100 in the grade can basically widen the gap with the students behind them, and their chances of getting into a top-tier university will greatly increase."

"If I can't get into the top 100 in my grade, I'm afraid I can only get into a second-tier university at best."

At this point, someone looked at Jiang Feng with a hint of mockery in their eyes.

The top class at No. 3 Middle School has fifty students, all of whom are the most talented elites in the entire school. Even the weakest one of them would be enough to easily defeat Jiang Feng. They have taken up half of the top 100 spots in the grade.

Although Jiang Feng has good potential, he is actually just barely above the top 100 in his grade, and it is very likely that he will not be able to make it into the top 100.

Jiang Feng's easy defeat by Chu Kuang this time has led to him being looked down upon by many.

"Kaka——"

Jiang Feng heard everything and clenched his fists tightly.

"Interest-free loans and energy-generating agents."

"I can get a loan too, I can buy the Origin Energy Potion, once I master the Bull Fist..."
