Chapter 16 Poison Formula, Battle List 1_2
The three professors teaching three different classes had set the first class of each course to occur on the same day, but afterwards, they were staggered with only two sessions per week.
A few days earlier, Li Fei attended one such class, which completely overturned his understanding of Professor Wen Ke.
At that time, he had been wholly influenced by Wen Ke's extraordinary ability and, after consuming the Killing Pill, lost his reason and fell into the throes of a killing desire.
When he regained consciousness, he felt like he had been run over by ten large trucks in succession, his body nearly falling apart!
The rest of the dozen or so students in the class were in a similar state, scattered all over the training field, all laid low by Wen Ke.
After the battle ended, Wen Ke put her black-framed glasses back on and returned to her gentle demeanor, advising everyone to rest well before continuing in the next class.
Now, Li Fei was attending his second class with Wen Ke.
As last time, the students first took an elixir, and then, with a trigger from Wen Ke's extraordinary ability, they completely fell into a 'frenzy' state.
Li Fei was again singled out by Wen Ke for emphasis.
However, this time during the latter half of their exchange, he managed to regain some sense of rationality, but still struggled to remain fully lucid.
It was akin to a half-drunk, half-sober state, knowing full well what he should do, yet finding it very difficult to precisely control his body.
Once again defeated by Wen Ke, Li Fei finished the class.
Though it was only his second time, he felt that Wen Ke's teaching method was useful; it at least gave him hope of grasping the Slaughter Heart.
Even a genius like Wang Fengqing had spent over seven months stuck at the Qi Change Early Stage. Under normal circumstances, many would be stuck at this step for seven or eight years, or even their entire life, unable to break through.
The leap from being a Martial Artist to becoming a Refining Strength Martial Master and thereby qualifying as an official Martial Master of the court is indeed an incredibly difficult step!
Recently, having just made a breakthrough into the Qi Change Early Stage less than three months ago, Li Fei was not in a rush to make another breakthrough. He believed that after attending more classes with Wen Ke, he should be able to find the opportunity for the next breakthrough.
After resting for more than two hours, Li Fei walked into the arena.
In a week's time, he had won eight consecutive matches in the arena, earning 40 points and already amassing a total of 77 points, which placed him ninth in the Martial Artist Combat Power Rankings.
Today, he entered the arena once more, ready for another battle.
Without using the Myriad Blood Pearl, fighting these genius students from Wuda was still quite challenging for Li Fei.
Previously, when facing Martial Artists in the Body Breaking Stage, his advantage was clear, but now it was not so easy to win against a Martial Master in the Qi Change Stage.
Sign up, wait.
Ten minutes later, Li Fei's name was called.
At the same time, another person stood up in the preparation hall.
Li Fei turned to look at the other person: it was Cao Yiqing!
"What a coincidence, didn't expect to come across my junior so soon," Cao Yiqing said to Li Fei with a smile.
The two had attended Professor Wei Zhiquan's "Detailed True Qi" class together twice and were now acquainted with each other.
"Honored to meet you, Senior," Li Fei replied to Cao Yiqing with a calm nod of acknowledgment.
Afterward, the two of them left the preparation hall together.
The next second, the preparation hall exploded with excitement.
Martial Master Combat Power Rankings number one VS the legendary newcomer!
In Martial Master stage fights, opponents within 50 points of each other could be matched. Currently, the top ranked Martial Master, Cao Yiqing had 123 points, and Li Fei had 77 points, which meant they just qualified to be matched against each other.
Both entered the competition venue and went into separate rooms to don Third Level Protective Clothing.
By the time they each picked their weapons and stepped into the arena, the surrounding stands were already filling up. Word had spread, and everyone came to see.
Li Fei had already achieved eight consecutive wins in the Martial Master level fights, showing an unbeatable momentum.
However, his previous victories were hard fought, giving hope to the others who had witnessed a chance of defeating him.
Now that Li Fei was directly confronting the top ranked Martial Master, Cao Yiqing, the outcome of this match would determine much.
Would this be where Li Fei's terrifying win streak ends?
Or would he still maintain an invincible posture even among the Martial Masters?
"Begin!" The referee was still the same Director Zheng.
In Martial Master grade fights, a Refining Strength Martial Master had to act as referee to ensure the students' safety.
As Director Zheng finished speaking, Li Fei and Cao Yiqing charged forward almost simultaneously.
Cao Yiqing wielded a weapon that was rather uncommon— a pair of double maces. Each mace was 1.2 meters long and weighed over 100 kilograms!
If Cao Yiqing struck with full power at close range, the impact would be greater than a rifle bullet; not even Fourth Level Protective Clothing could withstand it, let alone Third Level.
Li Fei entered the "Overlord Body" state for the first time, his body expanding and stretching the protective clothing tightly.
Clang—
Sparks flew as Li Fei's steel knife clashed with Cao Yiqing's Iron Mace.
The dark golden blade light and the red-hued Qi shone against each other.
Cao Yiqing cultivated Bing Fire True Qi, possessing the utmost masculinity and heat. This Qi wrapped around the Iron Mace, heating it red-hot.
Using a single mace, he knocked Li Fei's steel knife aside, the robust power directly shattering Li Fei's Rolling Thunder Style!
Then, with the other mace, he pointed it through the air towards Li Fei.
The next second, a flame turned into a flying needle and shot out towards Li Fei.
Cao Yiqing's Implant was a medium Fire Attribute Implant of Second Grade known as Fierce Stab, which came with two extraordinary abilities. One was the more common Power Burst and the other was Flame Ejection.
After breaking through to the Qi Change Stage, Cao Yiqing combined Flame Ejection with his Bing Fire True Qi, creating the 'Flame Flying Needle' he wielded now:
