You dare to cultivate without money?!
Chapter 177 - 177 147 True Combat Skills Seeking Monthly Pass

177: Chapter 147: True Combat Skills (Seeking Monthly Pass) 177: Chapter 147: True Combat Skills (Seeking Monthly Pass) Zhao Tianxing heard these words and pulled the corner of his mouth, thinking inwardly, “Qianzi, you really didn’t need to say that last sentence, now I look even more like a clown.”

Lanling’s gaze turned cold as he looked at Qian Shen, who dared to contradict a senior, and said indifferently, “Zhou Ke, you may as well advise this junior.”

Just as Zhou Ke was about to approach Qian Shen, a flash of lightning streaked through the air.

To everyone’s astonishment, Bai Zhenzhen appeared in front of Zhou Ke, carried by a fierce wind.

Zhao Tianxing frowned slightly, thinking, “Didn’t I tell them not to come?

Why are they here again?”

He seemed to recall a few months ago when Bai Zhenzhen was sent flying by Lanling.

Although Bai Zhenzhen’s strength had improved rapidly over the past few months, the students of the second year were also progressing in their cultivation.

To Zhao Tianxing, that one-year gap in cultivation was almost insurmountable.

“You want to fight, huh?” Bai Zhenzhen snorted coldly and said to Zhou Ke, “Let me fight you.”

But Lanling said, “Zhou Ke, you should take a break and recover your strength.”

The reason Lanling said this was because he referenced Bai Zhenzhen’s performance in the previous competition and felt that Zhou Ke might not be a match for Bai Zhenzhen.

And naturally, Lanling couldn’t let a first-year student like Bai Zhenzhen publicly teach a second-year senior a lesson in front of so many people.

So, he casually found an excuse to send Zhou Ke away and stepped forward himself to meet Bai Zhenzhen’s gaze.

Lanling smiled slightly and said casually, “Junior, it’s been a few months.

Let me guide you once more…”

Boom!

Before Lanling could finish his sentence, Bai Zhenzhen’s right leg seemed to vanish into the air, and a blast of air exploded against Lanling’s abdomen.

Just like that spar a few months ago, it was still Bai Zhenzhen’s kick on Lanling, but the outcome was entirely different.

Lanling’s expression changed slightly, and his originally steady body retreated two steps backward.

“Senior, it seems you underestimated me.”

As Bai Zhenzhen spoke, she disappeared from in front of Lanling.

On the side, Lei Jun’s eyes lit up, thinking that it had been a long time since he saw Bai Zhenzhen give her all, yet she had grown so strong?

“What a good surprise attack.” Lei Jun sincerely praised, “Remember, surprise attacks are a great strategy in actual combat, the best way for the weak to defeat the strong.”

The next moment, it seemed that lightning flickered back and forth in the air.

Bai Zhenzhen’s blurry figure darted around like a ghostly shadow.

In the shocked eyes of many first- and second-year students, Bai Zhenzhen seemed like a storm, completely engulfing Lanling before her.

Lightning and blasts kept exploding on Lanling’s body incessantly, as if shells were bombarding him, forcing him step by step to retreat.

Lanling crossed his hands to protect his vital areas, equally shocked by what he saw, thinking inwardly, “This Bai Zhenzhen actually possesses such strength already?”

“In just a few months, she already has the ability to fight me at this level?”

Thinking of this, an intense feeling of jealousy surged in Lanling’s heart.

How much money had he spent?

How much effort?

How much time to reach this step?

And this pauper, spending less money and time, was already approaching him?

With a booming sound, Lanling’s whole body’s energy and blood surged wildly, and his right palm began to expand with a rapid pulse, instantly doubling in size in a flush of red.

This was Lanling’s cultivation of the expert-level skill, Heart Element Great Handprint, at level 5!

Not only did it involve the muscle’s expansion and exertion, but it also concentrated the flowing energy and blood of his whole body into this palm.

With just a light push of the palming power, Bai Zhenzhen felt as though the atmosphere was like a wall pressing down upon her, the compelling pressure seemed suffocating.

“I can’t compete with him in terms of strength.” Bai Zhenzhen rapidly retreated, already evading this powerful strike.

In an instant, the two on the field appeared to be battling at a distance, with Lanling unable to catch Bai Zhenzhen, and Bai Zhenzhen refusing to clash head-on with Lanling.

At this moment, Lanling called out lightly, “Junior, you don’t even dare to take one of my strikes?”

“A classic provocation opening.” Lei Jun analyzed, “Remember, provoking the opponent, disrupting their mentality, or even making them give up their advantage in a weak offense are profound tactics of provocation, all of which will be on your theoretical exams.”

Many first-year students nodded upon hearing this.

Lanling furrowed his brow and couldn’t help but glance at Lei Jun.

At this moment, a fast-moving Bai Zhenzhen coldly laughed and said, “Lanling, with your level, you couldn’t even handle a single first-year student like me, looks like you’ve half a foot into college, really wasted all those years of study.”

Upon hearing this, Lanling gritted his teeth, feeling the energy and blood in his body boiling even more.

“What an insult!” Lei Jun on the side commented, “Listen to Bai Zhenzhen’s few words.

They’re not only full of aggression but also custom-made for the opponent, immediately causing them to become agitated.”

“Surprise attacks, provocations, insults, are all foundational knowledge in actual combat, key points in your theoretical exams, pay close attention…”

Lanling, upon hearing this, became increasingly angry.

Wasn’t this implying that he was headed to a junior college?

This was a humiliating shame for Lanling, who had studied diligently since childhood and never been told such disgraceful words like going to a junior college.

Roar!

Lanling stared at Bai Zhenzhen, who once again approached him, and roared fiercely.

His surging mana mixed with airflow gushed from his mouth.

Visible waves in layers spread in all directions.

It was yet another expert level skill, Lion’s Roar Technique at level 5!

Overwhelming sound waves swept in all directions, attacking the space around Lanling comprehensively.

Just when Lanling thought his attack would surely hit Bai Zhenzhen.

Bai Zhenzhen seemed to have expected this, her whole body flickering with electric lights.

At the moment Lion’s Roar Technique was activated, she had already changed direction in advance, flashing to a distance.

In Bai Zhenzhen’s eyes, Lanling was too obvious with that expression of preparing a big move in agitation.

And once the power of Lion’s Roar Technique’s sound waves diminished with distance, Bai Zhenzhen casually endured it and once again launched towards Lanling.

At this moment, with Lanling withdrawing the Heart Element Great Handprint and releasing the Lion’s Roar Technique, in Bai Zhenzhen’s view, neither his physical nor mana was at their peak state, and every move was full of flaws.

In a series of explosive sounds, Bai Zhenzhen and Lanling engaged in a fierce battle.

Their palms and fingers collided, blasting out wind and thunderous roars.

With a swish, Bai Zhenzhen pulled back her offensive and retreated with a faint smile, looking at Lanling, “Do you want to continue fighting?”

Lanling snorted coldly, holding back the Lion’s Roar Technique about to erupt from his throat, and said, “Junior, are you scared?”

At this moment, Lei Jun said, “Beautiful!”

“This insult, this face-slap, goes straight to the heart, remember it well.”

Lanling slightly frowned, and the next moment realized he looked at his chest, only to see his chest clothes were shredded, exposing a wound with shallow blood marks.

The wound was formed when Bai Zhenzhen used Breaking Body Sword Qi with Invisible Sword Technique and, supplemented by True Spirit Root during their exchange.

The power was not much; it only broke Lanling’s skin and left some blood threads.

But the wound formed words, saying: College Student

Fury!

Rose from the depths of Lanling’s heart.

And on the other side, Lei Jun continued to say, “Look?

Doesn’t it work well?”

“I’ve told you before, in exams you’ll fight against Yellow Turban Warriors, so put all your efforts into it; no need to use any true combat techniques during exams.”

“But in real combat, it’s different from exams.

Never think about just injuring or killing the opponent, as even if you win, you’ll have to pay compensation, the more you win, the more you lose.”

“True combat masters hurt the mind, not the body, shattering the spirit, not the flesh.”

“Insults, which you may think useless during exams, have great utility in real combat.”

“A truly insulting master can leave the opponent unscathed physically but emotionally shattered, even depressed afterward.”

Lanling glared fiercely at Lei Jun, shouting angrily, “Teacher, aren’t you talking too much?”

Lei Jun smiled, “It’s rare for a second-year student to guide first-year students; I surely won’t waste this opportunity to thoroughly analyze the situation for everyone.”

Lanling took several deep breaths, glaring at Bai Zhenzhen and said, “Petty tricks, let’s continue.”

“Do you really want to keep fighting?” Bai Zhenzhen said flatly, “Forget it, I don’t want to carve more words on you.”

Lanling’s blood surged to his face upon hearing this, and he shouted in anger, “Bai Zhenzhen!

You only scratched me while I wasn’t paying attention, based on actual strength, how could you be my opponent?”

“Agitated.” Zhao Tianxing in the audience secretly shook his head, “Agitated and you become a complete clown.”

From his experience of being made to look foolish several times, Zhao Tianxing knew deeply that when at a disadvantage, one must seem calm and composed.

Contrarily, if agitated, in the eyes of everyone, even if you haven’t lost, you’ve lost; even if you aren’t foolish, you’ve become the fool.

“Well, now the clown position has shifted to Lanling, and my previous embarrassment doesn’t matter anymore.”

On the other side.

“Forget it, senior.” Bai Zhenzhen shook her head and said indifferently, “You see, you’ve already lost your composure.”

Just when Lanling was flustered.

Outside the training field’s gates, Zhou Chechen leaned against a wall, sighed helplessly, and said, “Sigh, look at you, agitated again.”

Then Zhou Chechen smiled slightly and said to Zhang Yu before him, “Junior, your gaze makes me uncomfortable.”

After Bai Zhenzhen left, Zhang Yu at the training field’s entrance was now staring at Zhou Chechen and said, “Senior, do you want to guide me?”

Zhou Chechen, exuding a chilly aura, walked step by step towards Zhang Yu, looking down at him and said slowly, “Compared to you, I’m more interested in your master, Zhang Pianpian.”

“Junior, don’t think of yourself as too important.”

“Even if I have to do something…

it’s like dealing with a barking dog, just give it a casual kick to quiet it, then see whether it’s a stray or a house dog.”
