Chapter 185, Level 40
Chapter 185, Level 40
The two afternoon matches have concluded.
Everyone left.
"Xiao Weiqing, wait a minute."
"Senior."
Jiang Peng said to the others, "You all go back first, I need to talk to Xiao Weiqing about something."
Qin Tian and the others nodded and left first.
"Over here."
Jiang Peng and Xiao Weiqing took a less crowded route.
"Senior, is there something you need?"
Are you confident about tomorrow?
Xiao Weiqing shook his head, "I don't know, Zang Yu's strength is unfathomable."
Jiang Peng nodded. Not only Xiao Weiqing, but even he couldn't see through it. Spiritual cultivation methods have always been unpredictable.
"There's too little information about Zang Yu. Lin Tao's grandson has been moved to the historical site; otherwise, I could ask him."
"However, I can tell you that Zang Yu's mental strength level is at least level 40."
"Level 40?"
Xiao Weiqing was greatly alarmed.
"Are you kidding me?"
Jiang Peng said, "You forgot, I also possess a companion weapon. The cultivation of divine runes in a companion weapon has strict requirements on mental strength."
"I only managed to develop my fourth divine rune when my mental strength reached level 42."
"Zang Yu's companion weapon is not original, and it will only be more difficult to nurture it. Without level 40 spiritual power, it is impossible to nurture the fourth divine rune."
Xiao Weiqing remained silent, recalling Lin Yuhan's words: Zang Yu's Soul-Devouring Blade was not used to amplify, but to suppress the mental power that he could not control.
"Senior, if someone's mental strength is so strong that they can't even control it, how strong would their mental strength be?"
Jiang Peng thought for a few seconds and said:
"Xiao Weiqing, you must understand that on the path to transcendence, spiritual power and physical power complement each other."
"As the saying goes, 'Isolated yin cannot exist, and isolated yang cannot grow.'"
"If a person's mental strength exceeds that of their physical body by two levels, it will be difficult to control them, and they may even experience hallucinations, mild personality disorder, and headaches."
Jiang Peng suddenly looked up. "You mean Zang Yu?"
Xiao Weiqing nodded. "Lin Yuhan told me that the knife in Zang Yu's hand was given to him by the Azure Dragon Academy, but it was used to suppress Zang Yu's mental power because his mental power was too strong, so strong that he could not control it."
"Are you sure?" Jiang Peng asked in surprise.
"Um."
Jiang Peng took a deep breath. "That's terrifying. Zang Yu's physical body is only at the initial stage of the Transcendent Realm. Does that mean his mental strength level is close to level 50?"
It should be noted that Jiang Peng's own mental strength is only level 47.
"Senior, what you said is very likely."
"Xiao Weiqing, be careful tomorrow. If it's impossible, give up. The methods of spiritual cultivation are unpredictable. If you damage your soul, it will be a loss that will affect your future second awakening."
Xiao Weiqing laughed and said, "Senior, how would we know if we haven't fought?"
"Maybe I'm stronger than you think?"
Jiang Peng glanced at Xiao Weiqing and said, "How strong can you be in the second realm? Without spiritual energy liquefaction, you're all just newbies who have just entered the fourth realm."
"In short, you must be careful tomorrow."
"Understood, senior."
The two parted ways.
On the way back.
The details of the battle between Dongfang Xuan and Zang Yu, as well as Jiang Peng's words, flashed through Xiao Weiqing's mind.
The arena for the exchange competition is made of special materials that cannot be destroyed by attacks from those outside the Fifth Realm.
Two matches today.
His Three Fires energy can leave marks on the arena, while Zang Yu's innate skill can destroy the arena, which shows that in terms of attack strength alone, it is superior to Three Fires.
Of course, it can't compare to his Samadhi True Fire.
It should be noted that even if it is not a fully formed Samadhi True Fire, it can still easily damage the academy's energy testing equipment. In the No. 1 Civilization Relic, Xiao Weiqing was able to defeat the young Jiu Tian and win the final assessment treasure, all thanks to the Samadhi True Fire.
"The ring is only 300 meters long on each side, so it's not a big problem."
With the Samadhi True Fire, Xiao Weiqing believed he would be the final winner, unless Zang Yu could defeat him instantly across the arena.
......
Dongfang Xuan's defeat in the semifinals was regrettable.
That night, countless geniuses repeatedly watched the two battles from that afternoon.
They wanted to analyze these two battles to determine who would win first place between Xiao Weiqing and Zang Yu tomorrow.
A heated argument erupted on the TianTi forum.
What are your thoughts on tomorrow's final?
"I use Xiaowei Holographic Projector to watch it. Xiaowei Holographic Projector immerses you in the experience."
"Get lost!"
"I, Dong Fei, wholeheartedly support Xiao Weiqing taking first place."
"Who do you think you are? Just because you support him doesn't mean anything. Do you think Xiao Weiqing can beat Zang Yu?"
"What? Are you absolutely certain that Xiao Weiqing is no match for Zang Yu?"
"Nonsense, it's obvious. Xiao Weiqing is strong, I don't deny it, but at most he's only a little stronger than Dongfang Xuan."
As for Zang Yu, I watched his fight with Dongfang Xuan more than a dozen times, and I discovered a terrifying fact: Dongfang Xuan never managed to harm Zang Yu at all.
"I also studied the video and agree with the comment above. Xiao Weiqing's strength is the kind of strength we see. Zang Yu is different; we still don't know his true strength."
"Agreed. From the round of 16 onwards, Zang Yu has shown increasing strength in every match, defeating each opponent with ease."
This seems to be the case, and most people think so. It's not that Xiao Weiqing isn't strong, but rather that they believe Zang Yu is stronger.
"Also, don't forget, Zang Yu's companion weapon has four divine runes."
"Xiao Weiqing's companion weapon is said to have been obtained from the No. 1 civilization ruins. In just over a month, it has at most developed one divine rune, or even none at all."
Someone countered, "I don't agree with your point of view. What's wrong with four divine runes?"
"Divine runes only increase the attack power of the accompanying weapon, but a person's strength is not limited to offense. True fire is not to be feared at all. Besides, since Xiao Weiqing rose to prominence, when have you ever seen him lose?"
"That seems to be true. We can't predict Xiao Weiqing's strength either. Every time he appears in the public eye, he surprises everyone."
"To be rational, I still think Zang Yu will win."
"I support Xiao Weiqing; he is the one everyone wants to support."
"I agree, I also support Xiao Weiqing."
"....."
Just as the forum discussion was in full swing.
Xiao Weiqing was video chatting with a woman in the room; it was Wei Lan, whom he hadn't seen in a long time.
"Brother Qing, I've missed you so much."
Wei Lan wore a low-cut tank top, revealing her voluptuous figure, which made Xiao Weiqing's eyes light up.
Since Wei Lan entered the family ruins, they have rarely had video chats like this.
"Where are you? Did your grandfather let you out?"
"I ran away from home and I'm back at my old place now," Wei Lan said, sticking out her tongue.
Xiao Weiqing gave Wei Lan a loving glare, "Don't do that again."
I was worried about you.
"What are you worried about?"
"I watched the recording of your match, Qing-ge. Are you confident you can beat Zang Yu tomorrow?"
"I'm not very confident."
Wei Lan's expression changed, and she prepared to comfort Xiao Weiqing.
"I'd say we have an 80-90% chance of winning."
"?"
"Brother Qing, you're not wrong, are you?"
"No, just wait for news." Xiao Weiqing's tone was firm and decisive.
Xiao Weiqing didn't continue the topic. He was tired of hearing everyone asking him how confident he was about tomorrow.
"By the way, Wei Lan, I'll come find you after the exchange competition."
"Really?"
Xiao Weiqing nodded, "Yes, I'll give you something while I'm at it."
"You can't lie to me."
"certainly...."
The two lingered for a while longer before ending the video call.
......
The following morning.
The stadium was still packed with people.
Around 10 o'clock, all the important figures arrived.
In the main stands.
The number of people is more than double that of yesterday.
Tap... tap...
The powerful figures seemed to sense something and turned to look at the stairs.
Min Huaixun came forward first, followed by a person wearing a cloak, who was none other than the Azure Dragon Envoy.
"Principal Xia, can the competition begin?" He Qingqing asked from the side.
"Um."
"Wait!" the messenger said.
