Chapter 125: The Challenge
Chapter 125: The Challenge
"However, it doesn't matter... No matter how outstanding the newcomers are, they will eventually be defeated by me."
Levi said, "Do you feel like your throat is on fire? As soon as the venue was decided, I secretly set up the 'Burning Fire Poison'. As for you..."
Before he could finish his sentence, he saw Fang Xing leap forward, his body seemingly flying through the air and landing in front of him.
"Bodily flight... No, have you entered the Outer Realm?"
Levi was stunned, and the two pitch-black daggers in his hands writhed like venomous snakes, making a last-ditch struggle.
Pa!
The next moment, Fang Xing raised his right hand and slapped down with his palm.
The two daggers flew high, and the golden palm seemed to pause for a moment before slapping Levi's face, distorting his facial features...
"Ah! That's insane!"
Levi was kicked out of the battle stage, still feeling a bit startled as he touched his face.
"I didn't expect Fang Xing to have entered the Outer Realm. The Burning Fire Poison doesn't affect him much... The mixed poison on me is the same."
Outer Realm experts could envelop themselves with their domain power, making them opponents that alchemists really didn't want to face.
Moreover, this was a virtual space. Even if one was deeply poisoned, as long as they quickly defeated their opponent, they could pass the level, and their physical condition would be refreshed afterward...
"However, it won't be that easy next time. As for the poison that can break through domains... I'm still a little short of being able to configure it..."
Levi prepared to go to the virtual laboratory to work on a type of poison he had conceived.
What he liked most about the virtual space was that he could experiment freely without worrying about killing others or himself.
Of course, the more crucial point was that the raw materials for making poisons were very expensive, but they were extremely affordable in the virtual space.
He could definitely practice his skills here until they were perfected before creating the poisons in the real world.
He didn't know how much resources this would save!
At this moment, he heard two girls next to him chatting: "Did you also meet that face-slapping maniac?"
"Yeah, that guy is so fierce. He just started slapping people's faces as soon as he came up. It's so rude."
"I heard he's a freshman in the Martial Arts Department of Blue Star University. He was even more ruthless when he enrolled. He slapped a girl so hard that her face disappeared..."
"Later, that girl became his junior. I wonder if she has nightmares at night..."
"The face-slapping maniac, so terrifying!"
...
Levi checked and found that in just a short while, Fang Xing had started to win streak rapidly.
But this was a normal situation. An Outer Realm warrior in the virtual space's battle stage was definitely a formidable opponent.
It was just that his habit of playing pranks was a bit much...
"Fang Xing, the face-slapping maniac..."
Levi touched his cheeks.
Even though he knew it was an illusion, it still felt a bit painful...
...
Fang Xing was oblivious to the outside world.
He was immersed in the battle stage, familiarizing himself with the power he had gained after entering the Outer Realm.
Of course, his initial opponents were all weak, easily defeated with a casual punch or slap.
It wasn't until he reached the top ten thousand that he finally encountered a decent challenger.
"Hmm?"
Fang Xing opened his eyes wide and was surprised to see a brand new opponent.
"Big Brother..."
On the other side, Song Jin'gang happily waved, "I heard that you, Big Brother, broke through to the Outer Realm and were frantically climbing the battle stage rankings, so I quickly logged in... I didn't expect to wait so long to get matched with you..."
"Mhm, your timing is perfect. Let me test how strong the strongest defense of the Daring Realm is."
Fang Xing nodded, and a dazzling blade light condensed in his hand, transforming into a green longsword.
This was an advanced application of domain power and Outer Realm true qi after his promotion to the Outer Realm.
"Alright, but Big Brother, we must agree on one thing first: no hitting my face!"
Song Jin'gang quickly added.
"What do you mean by no hitting the face?"
Fang Xing was puzzled.
"Don't you know yet, Big Brother? Your reputation has already spread outside. People are calling you the face-slapping maniac..."
Song Jin'gang's voice gradually became softer as he spoke.
"Face-slapping maniac?"
Fang Xing's face darkened, and the green longsword flashed like thunder, instantly striking Song Jin'gang's 'Vajra Body' defense.
"Ah! Big Brother... I didn't call you that!"
The golden light on Song Jin'gang's body shattered like eggshells, and his face showed a slight grievance.
Then...
He saw a golden palm descending from the sky...
'The face-slapping maniac, his reputation is well-deserved.'
Before falling into darkness, these were the only words in Song Jin'gang's mind.
With a darkened face, Fang Xing exited the battle stage and checked the network, only to find numerous comments indeed.
"Sigh... I'm being framed by public opinion. Let's go."
He quickly signaled Little Blue to log off, leaving the surrounding crowd with nothing to gossip about, and they could only leave disappointedly.
"Today, I broke into the top ten thousand... With two more days of effort, I should be able to reach the top one hundred, securing my challenge qualification by the end of the month."
For the next two days, Fang Xing continued to focus on climbing the battle stage rankings, paying no heed to the outside world's gossip.
On the other hand, the freshmen in the Martial Arts Department were surprised by the performance of their chief, who had been quietly cultivating since enrollment and was now finally making a remarkable comeback.
Fang Xing did not disappoint, and by the end of the month, he had reached 66th place, successfully securing one of the challenge seats.
Soon, the end of the month arrived.
Gu Jian Tong couldn't wait to enter the virtual cabin and log into the Blue Star Community.
"Here he comes, here he comes! The most exciting moment of the month-end challenge is upon us!"
Students from various colleges had already gathered around the four sides of the battle stage, craning their necks to look up at the screens that surrounded it.
Through these interfaces, they could observe any battle that took place.
"Needless to say, Darkstar will definitely take the top spot again."
"I'm more interested in Lu Kai. I heard that he's completed a major upgrade to his mech and has created a weapon module in the Virtual Mechanical Factory that can destroy Outer Realm warriors..."
"What's so great about that? Our President Huyan is the best... at the very least, she's easy on the eyes."
...
Many students who were just there to watch the drama had come online, taking sides with their favorite experts and arguing noisily.
Gu Jiantong narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at his ranking, "108... Damn, if I were an Outer Realm warrior, I would've made it up there already."
Even he had to admit that Fang Xing, that face-slapping maniac, was truly formidable, especially when it came to breakthroughs in cultivation!
His domain had already been achieved, but his spiritual power in the Niwan Palace fell just a bit short.
Furthermore, he was still contemplating which martial arts technique would be best for him to combine with his light-based power.
Therefore, he planned to break through to the Outer Realm by the end of the school year.
Who would have thought that Fang Xing would get there before him without any fanfare?
Even so, Gu Jiantong didn't rashly attempt a breakthrough. Instead, he intended to rely on his own strength to climb further up the rankings.
However, there were too many geniuses from the top three super-first-rate colleges, and there were also many older students among them.
In the end, he was at a disadvantage because of his cultivation base, and now his courage. It was a pity that he was ranked outside the top 100, and today he could only be a spectator.
"Fellow student Gu..."
At that moment, someone greeted him with a smile.
"Oh, it's Yin Huanzhen..."
Gu Jiantong nodded. He still remembered this student who could hold his own against him for a few moves.
"It's really difficult for us to stand out among the top 100 in the battle rankings, who are mostly Outer Realm warriors."
Yin Huanzhen suddenly asked, "Who do you think Fang Xing will challenge?"
"If it were me, I'd definitely go straight for Darkstar!" Gu Jiantong raised his eyebrows, "Huyan Qiushui is just a woman, and Lu Kai only relies on the advantages of his mech... Only Darkstar's sword is worth my interest in a battle. Of course, Darkstar is too strong. Gu Zhen is also a good choice... He lost last time, so he'll definitely try to break into the top ten this time!"
What Gu Jiantong hated the most was that during the college entrance exam, he had essentially lost to two people.
One was Fang Xing, and the other was Gu Zhen!
He had a proud personality, and although he didn't let anyone off with his words, he did acknowledge in his heart that these two were his true rivals.
Now that his two biggest rivals were going to compete, he was naturally eager to watch.
...
Inside the battle stage.
Fang Xing sat in his resting room, looking at the battle list, "Hmm... The top ten today must accept ten challenges. It can be more, but not less... Who should I choose?"
He looked at the young-looking Darkstar, the burly mech pilot Lu Kai, and then glanced at Huyan Qiushui, who had autumn water for eyes and a tall, slender figure, and smiled.
"Huyan Qiushui is also the student body president, and she's quite a looker..."
He scrolled down the list with his finger and stopped at the ninth position.
"I'm not stupid enough to challenge an Outer Realm pinnacle warrior as soon as I enter the Outer Realm..."
"The tenth rank is seen as an easy target, receiving too many challenges, and it's too troublesome... Ninth place is just right."
The ninth-ranked challenger was 'Wu Lie', a mech pilot from Saint Armor University.
'According to the virtual space classification, this Wu Lie is a fifth-rank mech pilot, which means that when he dons his mech, he can rival an Outer Realm warrior... This should be interesting.'
Fang Xing summoned the battle invitation button and sent it out.
It didn't take long for him to see that Wu Lie had accepted his challenge.
"Hmm, there are three battles before mine... I hope nothing unexpected happens."
If Wu Lie lost, he would automatically give up his seat, and the previous battle list would become invalid.
Fang Xing waited for another half an hour before a prompt tone sounded in his ear.
A smile appeared on his face, and his figure moved.
When he reappeared, he was already hovering above a city of ruins.
He stood atop a tall building, looking at Wu Lie, who was standing on top of another tall building not far away.
This Wu Lie was completely encased in a pitch-black mech, only his face visible below the face mask. He had dark skin and a pair of blue eyes.
"Fang Xing, do you know why I chose you?"
He moved his mech a bit, causing it to make a sound.
"Because I'm an easy target as a newcomer?"
Fang Xing guessed the answer.
"No... It's because you, the face-slapping maniac, showed no mercy even to my little sister. I promised her that I would teach you a lesson if I had the chance!"
Wu Lie roared, and two guns appeared on the arms of his mech, "Eat my bullets!"
Rat-a-tat-tat!
Rat-a-tat-tat!
The dancing flames formed a metal bullet storm that swept towards Fang Xing, but it could only futilely strike the concrete walls.
Stomp! Stomp!
Fang Xing leaped into the air, his body twisting and turning in mid-air as he approached Wu Lie.
"Dancing Sky Step?"
Wu Lie's eyes displayed a flood of data, as the mech's built-in intelligence calculated Fang Xing's trajectory.
"Don't think that you're the only one who can fly!"
Flames erupted from Wu Lie's feet, and the black mech, like a winged Grim Reaper, soared into the sky!
