The 200th floor of the Sky Arena was exceptionally lively that day, with countless fighting enthusiasts and spectators flooding in. Tickets for today's match were incredibly hard to come by and had been resold at exorbitant prices.

In his room, Yun Gu was meditating with his eyes closed, trying to calm himself down.

His entire body exuded an aura like a calm pool of water, smoothly enveloping his body.

It is clearly qi, which should be as light as water, but it also has a solid feeling as heavy as a rock, as if no force of a thousand pounds can shake it in the slightest.

When it was 1:30 p.m., Yun Gu opened his eyes.

Time to go!

Yun Gu calmly got up and pushed open the door to go out.

Chapter 99 When did you develop the ability I haven't used yet?

illusion?

The match between Zhen Yuanzi and Yun Gu was highly anticipated.

At 1:40 p.m., the largest arena on the 229th floor was packed to capacity. Thousands of spectators were bustling about, and even if each person was just chatting and laughing quietly while waiting for the match to start, it created a cacophony of noise like waves. This was the perfect description of the scene.

Over the course of three months, the 14 contestants who had been defeated by Yun Gu and Zhen Yuanzi came to watch the matches in twos and threes. When they occasionally bumped into each other, they would awkwardly turn their heads away and pretend not to see each other.

Zhen Yuanzi and Yun Gu both had a perfect record of nine wins in nine battles. The reason why only 14 contestants lost to them was naturally because several of them lost to them one after another.

Take Zhehao for example.

Zheluo glanced at his expressionless younger brother and said worriedly, "Ahao, is it really necessary to come? There's nothing to see in those two guys' match! You've already got 9 wins, and you only need to win one more to become the club owner. There's no need to be so competitive with those two..."

If Zhehao hadn't spent some time recovering from his injury after losing to Yun Gu and then focused on his training, he probably would have already secured 10 wins by now.

"Don't worry, brother, I'm fine. I'm not being stubborn," Zhehao said. "I just want to see with my own eyes who will win, that's all."

Zhe Luo seemed to feel that ever since he lost to Zhen Yuanzi and... no, it was that time he lost to Zhen Yuanzi that his younger brother seemed to have changed.

Logically speaking, shouldn't the younger brother have been resentful and felt deeply ashamed after losing so badly in the ring that day, almost powerless against Zhen Yuanzi?

What exactly did Zhen Yuanzi say to his younger brother?

……

"If you fly around again, I'll stew you in a pot." At the exit of the contestant passage, Jing Yang caught the rock sparrow and angrily rubbed its restless head.

"Chirp! Chirp!" The little gray bird chirped at him, looking completely unconcerned.

Kurapika, who came to watch the game with him, said, "The more serious the threat, the less deterrent it becomes once it is not fulfilled."

"Chirp chirp?" Taliyah chirped, glaring at Kurapika, as if to say, "What, you human with thick eyebrows and big eyes, do you really want to see me punished?"

Jingyang laughed, "That's exactly the effect I wanted. If it got scared out of its wits just from saying something casually, how could we joke around in a friendly way?"

Kurapika was speechless.

Xiao Di turned her finger to the side of her head, as if asking Jing Yang if Kurapika's brain wasn't actually that sharp.

If Jingyang really wanted to command Rock Sparrow, he could just use the star mark on its body to control it. Why bother with all this fuss?

At this moment, Yun Gu walked out from the other contestant passage, looked in their direction, and adjusted his glasses.

Their eyes met across the distance, and Jingyang felt his inner energy about to boil over.

Can you win by yourself?

You'll only know after you try it!

Jing Yang's fighting spirit ignited, and he said, "I'm itching for a fight, let's go!"

"Good luck." Shizuku took the rock sprite and waved.

Once it fell into her hands, the rock sparrow immediately stopped chirping and became incredibly obedient.

As Jingyang and Yunggu entered and took the stage simultaneously, the cheers and applause from the audience in the already noisy and bustling venue rose to another level.

"Ooooooooooo!!!"

The atmosphere was so intense that the host didn't even need to say a word to hype it up; it was already enough to blow the ceiling off the 229th floor.

Kurapika asked, "How much has his Nen level increased?"

Xiao Di stroked the smooth, soft feathers of the rock sparrow in her palm, which was as docile as a chick, and said, "About 18,000 Qi."

It's almost double what it was three months ago!

This is even considering that Zhen Yuanzi was simultaneously training at the four major banks and developing new abilities...

Kurapika pondered, "But this doesn't even seem to have reached the level our opponents were at three months ago."

“No, no,” Little Drop agreed. “Besides, the guy with glasses has become even stronger now.”

Just as Kurapika was at a loss for words, Shizuku calmly said, "The odds of winning aren't high."

She looked at Jingyang's figure on the arena, "But there are some after all."

……

On the stage, a white light flashed across Yun Gu's glasses as he asked, "Your aura has improved considerably compared to three months ago."

Jing Yang stood opposite him, with a referee between them, and smiled when he heard this, saying, "Likewise."

"Could you tell me exactly how much it has improved?" Yun Gu asked. "Your total recitation volume."

"Are all enhancement-type characters this direct?" Jing Yang said nonchalantly, "Exactly 18,000 Qi. And you?"

Yun Gu Ruya said, "26,000 Qi. We've both cultivated for three months, but my progress is not as good as yours."

In other words, three months ago, Yun Gu's total Qi had already exceeded 20,000... Jing Yang said, "Recently, the increase in Qi has started to slow down again. There was a similar situation before, do you know what happened?"

Yun Gu smiled and said, "After this match, let's have a proper chat, shall we?"

“Alright!” Jingyang readily agreed.

The referee, sandwiched between the two, was even more pleased. This was a competition arena, not your chat room. Look around, thousands of eyes are watching you intently.

"So, Zhen Yuanzi, and Yun Gu..."

The referee looked at the two contestants from the left and right, and they both nodded to him.

……

The fight is about to begin!

The vast majority of the audience simply enjoyed watching the fighting and the spectacle. Only a minority of the crowd—those who were also competitors in the Sky Arena, whether they were Nen users from the 200th floor or ordinary competitors from below who had come to watch this highly anticipated match—subconsciously tensed up, staring intently at the arena.

After the referee gave the order to start the match, Yun Gu and Zhen Yuanzi stood facing each other, assuming their starting stances for the duel.

Ordinary spectators and ordinary contestants have not noticed anything unusual.

However, the contestants above the 200th floor were suddenly shocked, staring incredulously at the two people on the stage who simultaneously released their full-body energy after assuming their starting stances.

A dense white light, visible only to those who could also wield qi, surged violently from the two of them.

Its astonishing size evokes an instinctive sense of awe...

It was as if these people, who should also be seasoned veterans, had in this instant become innocent little rabbits who had wandered into the jungle and encountered a confrontation between lions and tigers, and they found it hard to control themselves and wanted to turn around and run away.

They and those two... were never on the same level from the very beginning!

……

Drink! Ha!

At the same time after the start of the match, Jingyang and Yunggu immediately released all their energy, creating a thick and solid barrier on their bodies that combined offense and defense.

Very solid basic skills...

The two observed the state of each other's qi, which was as solid as a rock, yet also had a lightness like flowing water.

Jing Yang took the initiative and disappeared on the spot.

boom!

The spot where he had just stood had a corner of the arena bricks crumbled.

Yun Gu punched the air beside him.

boom!

Jing Yang's figure suddenly appeared, right in the direction where he threw his punch. The two fists collided, producing a dull thud.

The referee was secretly astonished. With just one punch, it seemed as if the surrounding air was shaken and the ring beneath his feet was trembling.

That's outrageous!

This wasn't a fight between two flesh and blood; it was more like two giant cranes swinging their hammers and colliding in mid-air.

Jing Yang felt a slight pain in his fist, and took the opportunity to grab Yun Gu's wrist and kick him in the face.

Yun Gu leaned back and bent over to dodge the kick.

He caught a glimpse of the flow of Qi on Jing Yang's body out of the corner of his eye... Zhen Yuanzi was gathering Qi into his other foot!

"It's a spinning back kick hidden in a blind spot."

The proportion of Qi distributed in Yun Gu's body began to flow, instantly building up a thicker Qi barrier on one side of his body. Almost simultaneously, Jing Yang's spinning kick from the blind spot slammed into him heavily.

boom!

If "Firmness" distributes 50% of the manifest energy evenly across the body surface, then Jingyang's kick uses "Flow" to specially allocate 80% of the manifest energy, increasing its power.

As a result, Yun Gu saw through his plan and used the "Flow" technique to mobilize 80% of his visible energy for defense.

Yun Gu's apparent aura already surpasses that of Jing Yang.

When Jing Yang kicked out, his opponent's defense was not broken, but his own foot was hit by the recoil.

The star on the back of his neck, like a seed, stirred the energy within Jingyang's entire body.

Jing Yang's eyes shone with a light like jade. His fists and feet moved like shadows, turning into shooting stars, as he fought Yun Gu in close combat.

Bang bang bang bang!

Boom boom boom boom...

On the small arena, the two unleashed a dazzling array of offensive and defensive moves in an instant, leaving the referee stunned and speechless as he gripped the microphone.
