Blind Spot
Chapter 675 - 620 is approaching number four.

Chapter 675: 620 is approaching number four.

At this moment, the three people on the stage had already begun their standoff.

The twins spread out, their faces filled with anger, clearly feeling slighted because Li Chengyi’s side didn’t send up two people to fight.

Thus, the two decided to bring out their best tricks.

Whoosh!

The pair simultaneously leapt forward, using their palms to push off the ground extremely quickly to change positions, circling around Kui Fei in a dizzying, acrobatics-like fashion.

Thump thump.

In an instant, Kui’s right fist struck like lightning, connecting twice.

Two faint thuds sounded.

The twins’ movements halted, and they rolled to the ground, unable to get up again. Both fell into a sleep as profound as that of babies.

In that brief moment, Kui’s lightning-fast punches had hit the sides of both opponents’ necks, resulting in their instantaneous unconsciousness.

"Winner: Kui, Ash!" The referee quickly recorded the result, and then the medics carried the injured off the stage.

"Too weak..." Kui shook his head as he stepped down from the stage.

Soon after, the second match started, and Kui continued to emerge victorious solo. After all, he was a monster capable of reaching a punch speed of thirty meters.

Li Chengyi had also tried testing his strength, which was almost close to a ton in intensity.

In fact, if not considering technique, Kui’s physical conditioning was about on par with his own at this point.

For competitors whose strength and speed were still within the range of a common human, it was sheer domination.

Then came the third match, the fourth match, the fifth match...

Kui won match after match, no one could withstand his lightning-fast twin punches. Almost all were eliminated upon first confrontation.

As the competition filtered on, Kui’s stamina started to wane by the twelfth match.

It was Li Chengyi’s turn to enter the stage.

And by this time, there weren’t many competitors left.

And coincidentally, Li Chengyi’s next opponent was none other than the two from Feiyun Temple, Luo Ting.

Bang!

With a casual kick, he knocked out the bald strongman in front of him and beckoned towards the red-haired, androgynous Luo Ting with a side-tilted body.

"Come on, androgynous boy."

Luo Ting’s expression chilled, and a hint of murderous intent began to rise from his body.

Murderous Intent +1.

Murderous Intent +2.

Evil Thoughts surged continuously, rising in over a dozen streams, drilling into Li Chengyi’s mind.

As long as he could cause his opponent to lose control of their emotions next, these Evil Thoughts would be securely in the bag.

"I’ll indulge you in a little game, Squirrel boy." Luo Ting leapt nimbly onto the stage with a light flick of his body.

Just as he landed, not yet stable, Li Chengyi dashed forward with a step, crossing his arms over his chest to draw attention to his pectoral muscles but the real deadly move was being whipped out lightning-fast from behind.

It was his tail!!

That grey tail, like a steel whip, thunderously lashed towards Luo Ting’s side.

Luo Ting’s right palm flared red, like a Chi Xiao, hastily thrown out in an attempt to block the tail.

But to no avail, the immense strength harshly struck his palm.

Thunk!

Luo Ting’s right wrist twisted, breaking on the spot.

He grunted, retreating quickly, totally caught off-guard by the enormous strength of his opponent. Even known for his strength within his sect, he still couldn’t block the strike.

But this retreat played right into Li Chengyi’s hands.

As his tail retracted, Li Chengyi threw a side kick with a pivot, his leg and tail striking forward with incredible speed, like a spinning wheel, smashing brutally onto Luo Ting’s body.

Thud thud thud thud thud!!

In an instant, Luo Ting’s body was hit repeatedly over ten times, each powerful strike spraying blood from Luo Ting and sending him flying out of the ring, crashing to the ground.

"You ambushed me...!" The other high-ranking fighter from Feiyun Temple accompanying Luo Ting glared furiously.

"The weak always have endless excuses." Li Chengyi retracted his tail, standing tall on the stage, looking down on his opponent from on high.

"Come on up, I’ll let you make three moves, you can hit me anywhere you like."

At these words, the rage in the black-clothed man’s eyes surged anew.

After checking Luo Ting’s injuries and confirming it was only a fracture without serious harm, he quickly climbed onto the stage, his palms turning crimson as he assumed the starting stance of the Chi Xiao Palm.

"You said it yourself!" He already felt that he might not be a match for his opponent.

But with his fellow disciple defeated, and in such a dishonorable way, he couldn’t afford to show any cowardice without even fighting.

"Come on, my Squirrel Tribe, we always keep our word, unlike you humans, with all your deceit and trickery." Li Chengyi spoke dismissively.

"Fine..." The black-haired man took a deep breath, stepping forward rapidly in succession, appearing beside Li Chengyi in the blink of an eye, swinging his palm forward.

A move from the Chi Xiao Palm technique, Flying Cloud Feint, was thrown viciously towards Li Chengyi’s neck.

Unfortunately, before the palm could even get close, the man lost sight of Li Chengyi.

Before he could look around, a sharp pain surged from his lower back.

Bang!!

A huge force sent the man flying, smashing him into the elastic barrier surrounding the ring. The impact left him bewildered and gasping for breath.

"Fool! Did you really believe whatever I said? To think you’d even trust the words of a squirrel. In your next life, you’d better be a pinecone instead of a human!"

Li Chengyi laughed loudly, standing on the stage and mocking aloud.

The black-haired man choked on his own blood at his throat, nearly spraying it out.

He rolled his eyes back and fainted on the spot.

Meanwhile, a series of Anger +1 kept popping up in Li Chengyi’s mind.

Leaving Li Chengyi standing alone on the stage, laughing uproariously.

"In such a vast Biqiu City, is there really not a single person who can take two moves from me!?"

"Weaklings? No, even chickens have more courage than you! Come on, someone come kill me! I can hardly wait!!"

"Someone come kill me already!! How did you all manage to stay alive when you’re so weak?"

"Is this all that’s left of Biqiu City, just this bunch of trash?!" Li Chengyi, seeing no one taking the stage, bluntly fired a broadside.

Anger +1 began to rise in waves.

All the remaining contestants glared at him angrily.

"Come on, let’s have a friendly match. You can take turns coming up to fight me one-on-one, though I don’t mind taking on a group either. Just try to kill me! Hurry, come on, come kill me!"

Li Chengyi taunted everyone.

Some had already started itching to give it a try.

Unfortunately, the staff from the Ta Suqing Group, the event organizer, stepped forward to calm the crowd.

Kui also came over to pull Li Chengyi away; he was genuinely worried about a potential mob attack.

"Come hit me! If you don’t kill me today, then all of you from Biqiu City are nothing but trash! Garbage!!"

Li Chengyi did not forget to shout provocations as he was being dragged away.

The staff of the Ta Suqing Group organizing the event had a throbbing headache, wishing they could go up and slap this guy dead.

As the swearing gradually faded, peace slowly returned to the venue.

Luo Ting slowly regained consciousness, staring blankly at the ceiling.

"Is that... the realm of a martial artist?" he asked softly.

"Yes. I didn’t expect you to lose so miserably, Luo Ting."

Chen Jijian, the president of the Biqiu City branch of the Ta Suqing Group, held two alloy spheres and leisurely walked up to his friend.

"I actually thought you would make it through, but I didn’t expect..."

Chen Jijian had a burly figure, not a bit inferior to those martial arts experts in presence. But he indeed knew nothing about martial arts, being a pure businessman.

"That person... no, that squirrel, and his partner, they’ve already reached the level of martial artists... I thought our Biqiu City had no hope this year, but then these two exceptional individuals appeared..." Luo Ting sighed.

"The top ten are out; next is the provincial competition. Are you going too?" Chen Jijian glanced at his friend’s wrist.

"Why wouldn’t I go? Our Feiyun Temple has a guaranteed spot," Luo Ting said.

"I thought you wouldn’t want to use it," Chen Jijian smiled.

"I just want to see if that guy will still be so mouthy when he faces real martial artists at the provincial level!"

In the hotel.

Li Chengyi sat cross-legged on the floor, feeling content.

The moment Kui pulled him away from the gym, he had actually already gathered the last portion of Evil Thoughts needed for Purple Magnolia’s Ultimate Form.

Especially those last few broadsides, which made his Evil Thoughts surge unordinarily, and after leaving, the event staff helped divert and dissipate the people’s emotions.

This time he finally understood the convenience of unleashing broadsides. They’re incredibly efficient for accumulating Evil Thoughts.

Not to mention processing the Eternal Vitality, on the side of the Twelve Divine Flower Positions, Purple Magnolia’s Ultimate Form was already shining with a faint purple light, ready to evolve.

Li Chengyi carefully adjusted his state, closed his eyes, and concentrated.

He gently placed his hand on Evil Flower.

’Do you want to evolve Purple Magnolia into its Ultimate Form?’ came Evil Flower’s inquiry.

Li Chengyi took a deep breath and quietly responded in his mind.

"Yes!"

Hiss!

In an instant, a brilliant purple light shone forth, and even the world of the Black Sea Depths couldn’t suppress the eruption of the Evil Flower.

A strong purple light visible only to Li Chengyi burst from the back of his hand.

New streams of information flowed from it, pouring into Li Chengyi’s mind.

’Purple Magnolia’s fifth evolution complete.’

’Ultimate Form is complete.’

’Floral Dress evolution complete, reaching its limit. Protection enhanced, consciousness amplification improved.’

’Flower Language Ability evolution complete.’

New Flower Language Ability information poured in.

’Flower Language: Mother of Heart enhanced three times (Traits: Nourishment, Derivation, Traction, Fission)’

’Trait: Fission (The Floral Bead has a special fission state, each Floral Bead can split into one hundred Minor Floral Pearls, and forcibly control any lifeform with a consciousness power less than one-tenth of the host)’

Hiss...

This is powerful!

Li Chengyi was taken aback, and immediately tried to condense a Floral Bead.

Unfortunately, a phantom shadow flickered several times in the palm of his hand but failed to solidify into a bead.

’The world’s restrictions are too strong... too bad... If I were outside, I could quickly create a large force for my own use!’

Li Chengyi was increasingly feeling that the Evil Flower was simply a huge cheat code toolbox; whatever he needed, he could find a hack for it.

’I can only wait until I’m outside to use it. Let’s look at the others, the next one is Purple Delicate Flower. Purple Delicate Flower grants the Seven Spirit Holy Technique.’

Originally in the Panguang Realm, his Seven Spirit Holy Technique was already perfected.

And it was his own improved version of perfection, so the Flower Language Ability here was redundant.

Li Chengyi saw within the interface of Evil Flower, the slot for Purple Delicate Flower showed it had automatically reached the Ultimate Form state.

’What a pity, wasted a Divine Flower Position. Seems like cultivation techniques really don’t offer much value.’

Next up was the most useful Purple Ziwei Flower.

It was also the Divine Flower Position from which the Good Fortune Flower Language Technique originated.

The excess Evil Thoughts were already half accumulated, with just the other half to go.

’I hope that the Ultimate Form of the Purple Ziwei Flower, its Flower Language Ability, undergoes a significant transformation... If the Good Fortune could be enhanced, that would be even better...’

Honestly, the ability of Good Fortune has brought him quite a few benefits.
