Chapter 213: What Is a Number? Go Straight to the Power!_2
Zhang Hai slowly walked to the center of the Rising Dragon Arena, accompanied by Tai Monarch's grand gesture. The dim eyes of the Ugly Bull Armor suddenly lit up, as if a lifeless object was endowed with spirituality and came to life. It stomped heavily, facing Zhang Hai.
When the man and the armor stood firm, the circular main arena slowly rose into the air, and eight large alloy steel columns were erected around it, supporting a translucent domed curtain wall.
All the screens of the giant tree in the sky displayed this scene. Intense and roaring cheers and shouts erupted like a tsunami, resounding in various entertainment venues at the "root" of the tree.
Zhang Hai and Ugly Bull Armor were like characters in a fighting game, with their names and health bars displayed above their heads.
"Martial Artist versus Robot! Exciting!"
"Is this some sort of surprise show?"
"Top of the hundred-strong tournament? We want to see the championship match..."
Zhang Hai's expression was focused, completely ignoring the external noises.
His rise as a supernova of the Civil Affairs Department was partly due to his father being the deputy director, which was undeniable.
However, his personal talent and strength were also remarkably outstanding.
Bang!
When Tai Monarch set the stage into an Old Era-style octagon cage, Zhang Hai had already gotten into a state, fists clenched, posing in an extremely fierce fighting stance!
During this process, Zhang Hai's muscles slowly contracted, the distinct lines looking like a human sculpture, incredibly clear.
Immediately, he stepped forward, and his figure instantly appeared in front of the Ugly Bull Armor!
His swift and ferocious movement speed brought about layers of powerful wind pressure like terrifying waves, slapping the translucent curtain walls from all directions, making the sound of dense hail hitting the ground!
Boom!
Zhang Hai seemed like a terrifying beast freed from its shackles, his fist movements like a rolling serpent, continuously entangling the Ugly Bull Armor, shattering its iron-hard layers.
In a mere ten seconds, Zhang Hai remarkably threw over a hundred punches, fast and fierce, brutally overwhelming!
Life force gathered into intense brilliance, intertwining and passing through his mortal body, resembling a fierce azure dragon!
"Azure Dragon Daoist School's 'Horizontal Cloud Hundred Strikes'!"
Zhou Yuanchen was secretly startled.
How long has it been since they last met? Zhang Hai, this old rival, surprisingly secretly advanced and learned a core level inheritance of a Daoist school.
"Horizontal Cloud Hundred Strikes is the hallmark martial arts of Jing Province's Azure Dragon Daoist School! Its prerequisites are stringent, requiring strong skin and muscles to support hundreds of full-power strikes. Moreover, the internal organs must be tough; otherwise, it can disrupt one's breathing and cause self-harm."
Yu Weiwei, as a true inheritor of Nanhuang Daoist School, was quite knowledgeable about various factions in the martial arts world.
"Are those conditions very strict?"
Qin Shi had a question mark appear above his head.
He found it quite easy, sounded like an entry-level martial art to him.
"Numerical monster on the Limit-Breaking Road shouldn't make comments. Even the Martial God inheritance poses no threshold for you."
Secretly eavesdropping on the conversation nearby, Zhou Yuanchen couldn't help but speak up.
Deep down, he couldn't hide his envy, as the numerical strength on the Limit-Breaking Road could ignore most inheritance requirements.
If not for this path being extremely difficult, burying countless genius corpses, who wouldn't want to be a numerical monster using basic attacks as powerful moves?
"Old Zhou, my sweat and efforts behind the scenes, you just haven't seen them. Interspersing regular attacks with powerful strikes requires awareness, and it's not easy to operate smoothly."
Qin Shi spoke earnestly.
"Pah!"
Zhou Yuanchen raised a middle finger.
Below the arena, the siblings Xia Hong and Xia Ying watching this scene couldn't help but think:
"Indeed, in literature there's no first place, in martial arts there's no second. The conflict between Qin and the famed Zhou Yuanchen of Central City is intense. If it weren't for Tai Monarch presiding, they might already be fighting."
Xia Ying clicked his tongue twice, then noticed his sister Xia Hong's unfriendly gaze and nervously asked:
"Sis, you need to stay calm! He's the supernova of the Education Department!"
Xia Hong regrettably said:
"If only we were in the wilderness, I'd find a chance to knock him out from behind and run. Central City is full of Tai Monarch's eyes and ears, we can't act lightly."
Xia Ying covered his forehead. His sister's infatuation truly had no cure.
Zhou Yuanchen was at the specialized level, it's not that easy to knock him out from behind.
His attention returned to the Rising Dragon Arena, Zhang Hai's offensive completely enveloped the Ugly Bull Armor, and once Horizontal Cloud Hundred Strikes was unleashed, it sounded like continuous thunderclaps!
Sticky air currents like waves were vibrated and lifted, finally crashing into the translucent curtain walls with a rumbling sound!
With this terrifying offensive unfolding, the Ugly Bull Armor was almost left with no space to counterattack, becoming a stationary target taking hits.
"This guy has gone all out."
On the stage, Qin Shi could feel Zhang Hai's intense and erupting life force like a volcanic eruption.
It seems the core-level martial art of the Azure Dragon Daoist School also helps to stimulate the potential of the mortal body, burning the vitality of flesh, thus matching with Horizontal Cloud Hundred Strikes to push attacks and damage to the maximum.
"He wants to break through the Ugly Bull Armor's defensive stance in one go, but his stamina is falling short, unless he can land a strike beyond his own limits, like lighting the fuse to a barrel of gunpowder…"
Qin Shi's eyes were sharp, observing Zhang Hai's frenzied and terrifying offensive, and his sea of consciousness' holy embryo prototype even imprinted Zhang Hai's technique changes.
Boom!
Zhang Hai's flowing golden hair stood up straight, his skin turned red and hot, like a cooked shrimp.
He suppressed the Ugly Bull Armor in a domineering manner. Each attack interval and timing were perfectly controlled. Often within less than half a second, his offensive, like mercury flooding earth, would cover critical points like joints and torso.
