Chapter 65 A Single Mustard Seed Moves
With a deafening roar, like a thunderbolt sweeping past.
With a magnificent, sweeping side kick, so fast that he blurred into a shadow and closed in on the opponent, delivering a high kick and side kick that shattered the opponent's head, sending blood splattering onto the ring.
Wang Qing's true cultivation level was only at the third level of Qi Refining.
However, with the enhancement of the precious blood tempered by the "Great Floating Pagoda Record", the physical strength is already comparable to the ultimate Qi Refining Realm. Although this precious blood is far from being called "Immortal Precious Blood", it is already enough to dominate within the same major realm.
Inside the makeshift hospital, people only knew that the ninth level of Qi Refining was the maximum, but they didn't know that the tenth level of Qi Refining was the ultimate realm.
In the early stage, the spirit is refined into mist; in the middle stage, the mist condenses into liquid; and in the later stage, the liquid gathers into crystals. At the tenth level of the ultimate realm, the crystals formed by the spirit will also show Dao phenomena. Depending on the individual, they will present different scenes. Some people's crystals are tree-like, some people's crystals are beast-like, and some people's crystals are even natural phenomena.
Establishing a foundation at the extreme level and opening up a spiritual palace platform is more difficult, but one's strength will be even greater after foundation establishment.
But that's just a side note.
While he couldn't display excessively abnormal physical strength, it was reasonable for him, as Ye Qinghan's follower, to have physical strength far exceeding that of others at the same level.
Intellectual property rights are protected within the makeshift hospital and cannot be misappropriated. The Imperial Observatory is very cunning. As for the cultivation methods...
Wang Qing used the textbook versions of "Nourishing the Origin Formula", "The Five Elements Qi Guiding Essentials", and "The Six Forms of Mysterious Bone".
The textbook version depicts a brutal killing of an underground professional boxer, where a single blow to the head is smashed.
The drug-fueled spectators suddenly got excited; none of the previous challengers had ever shown such momentum.
"Instant kill? What does that mean—what does it mean?!"
"Damn it! I'm betting on the next one too! Hoping for a chance at an upset!"
"The Wolf King—he's really something."
"Holy crap, the ultimate high school warrior!"
The onlookers and rioters roared and pounded on the railings.
"Next."
The format required playing against three opponents, with each player only having one life to win. Wang Qing wanted to finish the match quickly, but his real intention was elsewhere. He glanced at Xue Hua in the booth, who was still playing on his phone. "You're really oblivious," he thought.
However, it seems that Xiong Zhigang has not informed them yet, otherwise he would not be able to sit still. Okay, Xiong Zhigang, I have decided, you will be the leader of the Spider Gang from now on.
After we finish fighting, have Xiong Zhigang lure Xue Hua out, let him go alone, and then easily take him out. The most high-level gang fights often only require the simplest methods of killing.
Inside the private room.
Lu Yunzhao was also focused on the battle. What surprised him was not Wang Qing's strength. As Ye Qinghan's beloved daughter, it was impossible for her not to have this much ability.
It was the shock of Wang Qing's nonchalant attitude after committing murder.
"The Wolf King is too arrogant! So calm and collected, watching the clouds drift by. His next opponent is an illegal cybernetically modified user, and a challenge from a higher level at that! Can he still remain calm? Will he pull off an upset? Place your bets! Place your bets now!"
The commentator was extremely excited and urged the handlers to get moving.
Most people are still taking a wait-and-see attitude. How the hell is that possible? An unmodified person against a modified person. A good prosthetic body is much more powerful than the so-called magic weapons of the past. It's a challenge that goes beyond their level. How can they possibly win?
But some of the guys who got carried away with their betting chose to pull off an upset!
Even idiots are jumping on the bandwagon! It's a surprise pick, so rational people should definitely raise their bets and win those surprise coins!
The market closed quickly.
"So—the betting pool is now full! Wolf King! VS! Dr. Kidney Strike!"
As soon as the commentator finished speaking, the fierce battle began.
Dr. Kidney Strike, a cybernetic engineer with the scorpion-tailed scythe, possessed a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivation. With a gust of wind emanating from his body, he blew the corpse still on the stage off the stage.
This gale is quite powerful. There is a big gap between the early and middle stages, and the level of magical power is incomparable. Ordinary early-stage Qi Refining cultivators cannot even stand still.
But Wang Qing was resolute and unyielding, his legs firmly planted on the ground.
"So you're Dr. Kidney Strike, I know you."
I heard this when I was chatting with Xiong Zhigang on the phone.
"This is a pointless battle."
Dr. Kidney Strike has appeared several times tonight. After all, there are only so many foreign fighters, and none of them have ever made it past the second round, let alone the third.
I don't understand what Xue Hua is thinking. Is he trying to curry favor with the important people present? It's ridiculous. Tonight's event isn't even very profitable; it's just a pastime for those in power.
Like a lapdog, the weak draw their swords and swing them at the even weaker.
If I had the strength of the late Foundation Establishment stage, I would definitely blow up the Gray Core City government.
"I feel we have a connection, so I'll spare your life."
Wang Qing could tell that Dr. Kidney Strike was younger than Ali, but unlike Ali, he hadn't had the good fortune to end up making pornographic movies while mingling in the underworld. This guy probably dropped out of school to fight in underground combat, and he'd gone down a dead end. He looked to be about twenty-five years old, and he looked pretty tough, with dumpling ears, a scarred face, and not a single patch of good skin. For the sake of fighting, he also had a neat buzz cut.
You're overthinking it.
Even when not fighting on the field, Dr. Kidney Strike trains day and night in the Void Realm, making him a true Void Realm Formless Dragon King, even a level higher than Luo Yue Li.
He himself had actually survived countless battles of equal strength, mid-to-mid-level combat, and had long forgotten how many. Apart from his left hand being severed, all the parts of his body were intact.
But Dr. Kidney Strike did not underestimate his opponent; life—how could it be taken lightly?
Three darts suddenly popped out of the slot on the back of his left hand, amplified by spiritual energy, and were launched out abruptly. It was clear that Wang Qing had used a dirty trick to instantly kill his opponent.
At the mid-stage of cultivation, even picking flowers and flying leaves can be shot out like bullets, let alone with a spiritual energy prosthetic body under the amplification of spiritual energy.
It flew through the air in the blink of an eye. Even if someone with early-stage Qi Refining cultivation was slightly affected by it, the resulting energy entering their body would cause them to die instantly.
Wang Qing cannot use his divine sense, nor can he use any methods that are outside the rules of the Imperial Observatory, have clear ownership rights, or are abnormal methods that are outside the scope of ordinary people's understanding. He can show a little bit of his physical strength, but only a little bit, not too much.
They were completely restricted.
But it doesn't matter, I'll take care of you.
Dr. Kidney Strike's modifications also included fire control and target acquisition capabilities, and three darts were launched at Wang Qing's head.
Let's optimize the "Outline of Five Elements Qi Guiding".
Some minor techniques, when used in special attack strategies, also possess considerable power.
The art of controlling the wind is something every cultivator knows; it's considered a beginner-level spell.
The principles of heaven and earth are not only found in the grand and magnificent, but also hidden in the minute and insignificant. Just as a butterfly flutters its delicate wings in the corner of the South Sea, a raging storm rises from the tip of a duckweed, and a torrential rain pours down on the vast sky, a single thought can shake a thousand peaks, and a single grain of sand can topple ten thousand fathoms.
Wang Qing neither dodged nor evaded. With a wave of his hand, a demonic wind suddenly appeared, stirring up a thousand waves. The wind force surged upwards, even slightly altering the trajectory of the dart, which passed right by his ear. Even so, the difference in distance meant that the aftershock could still injure him. With a snap of his fingers, his spirit suddenly formed a light shield to protect his body, an automatic defense and counterattack that was even more intelligent than a mechanical prosthetic, accurately blocking the attack.
If the instant kill just now was amazing, this kind of method is already a bit heaven-defying.
The commentator was also in an uproar, "Damn it! The Azure Wolf King! It's activated, hasn't it?! Did it secretly install some high-end cybernetic body? Or was this guy filling out the forms fake? Is he actually just a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator?"
Lu Tiansheng knew this was impossible. He was a person whose skills were comparable to the creation of the universe, while Wang Qing was only at the early stage of Qi Refining.
Dr. Kidney Strike frowned, his arm scorpion tail scythe split open in three stages, clanging loudly, his entire body enveloped in spirit, and his spiritual pressure exploded.
The "Cangwu Reverse Martial Scripture," purchased at a high price from the Qingcang Martial Alliance, uses wood-elemental spiritual energy to cleanse the physical body and cultivate the mind through morning bells and evening drums. Upon entering the inner sanctum, one draws upon qi to forge the skin, enabling one to withstand mortal iron and block evil winds. After entering the inner sanctum, the qi permeates the muscles, bones, limbs, and entire body, allowing one to cleave gold and break stone with a single fingertip.
Dr. Kidney Strike moves and unleashes at high speed. This man is monstrous; we must finish this quickly to prevent future troubles.
Wang Qing nodded. Good judgment! Good awareness! Going all out from the start. Since the commentator is supporting the show like this, I'll go all out too, but it's still an optimized, textbook-style introductory spell.
The rapid explosions emanating from Wang Qing's body were not accompanied by any spiritual energy. Instead, he had perfected the art of controlling the wind, creating a powerful wind barrier as if aided by heaven and earth. His every move seemed divinely aided, and his skill, having reached the realm of Qi Refining, was close to the Dao, allowing him to unleash the power of a god.
Moreover, Wang Qing himself has an abnormal physical body, but he cannot reveal it and is tightly restricted in his fight against Dr. Kidney Strike.
For a moment, their speed and strength were evenly matched, and they engaged in close combat.
The scorpion tail scythe was activated at maximum power, creating afterimages and towering waves of air. The turbulent currents formed by the swirling energy caused the ground to tremble and carve out cracks.
Under Dr. Kidney Strike's high-speed swings, a field of indiscriminate slaughter and cutting was formed.
But Wang Qing was too monstrous. He would retreat and advance, strike and block, without ever engaging in a standoff. He relied solely on his extreme speed, gambling life and death in an instant. Each time, he neutralized the attack with minimal cost, and each killing move would pass him by exactly three inches to the side.
Wang Qing's offensive was also terrifying. It was just an introductory wind-controlling spell. His fists and feet were striking at high speed, turning into wind blades that spanned a large stage. They were not fatal, but they still injured his flesh and caused his blood and qi to dissipate. Dr. Kidney Strike could not withstand the tricky and strange attacks and was repeatedly hit by Wang Qing's attacks.
The battle intensified, and two figures streaked through the air like lightning, their trajectories difficult to discern.
Lightning flashes, claw shadows tearing through the wind, a hundred strikes in an instant, a dense and impenetrable barrage of explosions. Within a hundred strikes, Dr. Kidney Strike, though not severely injured, had his blood and energy dissipated, his body covered in wounds and bleeding, turning him into a blood-soaked figure.
In contrast, Wang Qing was completely unharmed.
Seeing that Dr. Kidney Strike was already weak, Wang Qing seized the opportunity to press his advantage, delivering a powerful and fierce long-range spinning side kick.
boom!
Dr. Kidney Strike was kicked off the ring. He tried to get up by supporting himself on the ground, but after thinking about it, he decided against it. Going back up would be a death sentence!
He collapsed to the ground and couldn't get up.
"Next."
Wang Qing spoke calmly.
The commentator was so shocked he burst out of his microphone, shouting, "Azure Wolf King, my hair!"
There were people at the scene who weren't caught by the Spider Gang and were secretly recording videos to sell on the dark web.
