Chapter 362 - 362: The Promised Thirty Minutes!
Chapter 362 - 362: The Promised Thirty Minutes!
Elder General Shi and the others were slightly taken aback.
He's starting his attack now?
Just three minutes ago, he had been purely on the defense, and although they were impressed by his defensive strength, they didn't think much of his physical abilities and considered there was a gap. They thought he was overwhelmed by Phoenix's series of assaults and didn't have the strength to counterattack.
It turned out that he was figuring out the opponent's pattern.
Could this be true?
"..."
Phoenix instantly felt insulted.
Making her hold out for thirty minutes? How infuriating!
"Watch closely!"
Gritting her teeth, Phoenix immediately launched another attack.
This time, she used almost all her strength, pushing her speed and power to the limit!
Whoosh—!
She threw a punch towards Qin Feng's face.
This time, Qin Feng didn't defend. Instead, he pivoted on his left foot, his body easily spinning to let the punch graze past him, and then, taking advantage of the moment, he "pop" lightly tapped her right shoulder on the acupoint.
"Damn it!"
Phoenix was infuriated internally, and swept her leg on the ground to force Qin Feng back, then followed up with a knee strike.
Once again, Qin Feng dodged with ease and casually pressed his finger on her "Heavenly Ancestor Acupoint."
"Damn it!"
Phoenix was getting anxious.
She didn't expect to be bested twice, thinking that if it had been a dagger, she might have already lost.
Therefore.
These two exchanges could be said to have determined the winner!
She never expected that her own fierce assault, known as the Fighting Queen of Tiger Shark, would be utterly futile against him.
"Enough!"
Elder General Shi stood up at this moment and declared, "This battle, Qin Feng wins!"
He also hadn't anticipated Qin Feng to be so formidable. The look he gave Qin Feng was filled with radiance.
One can only say he's a genius, a Martial Arts prodigy!
It was only then that he understood why Fang Wudi was so respectful towards him, always saying his own Martial Arts achievements were all thanks to Qin Feng. It turns out those weren't merely compliments. Qin Feng really had such ability!
Such a person must indeed stay with Tiger Shark!
"No way!"
Just after Qin Feng tapped another acupoint on Phoenix, he turned back to Elder General Shi and said, "We agreed on thirty minutes, right?"
"..."
Elder General Shi was at a loss for words.
Hearing that, Phoenix's face turned red with anger.
Only then did she realize Qin Feng's earlier statement about lasting thirty minutes was not an empty boast; he truly intended to "torture" her for a full thirty minutes!
"Right! The time isn't up yet!"
She protested indignantly.
She thought to herself that if she could just seize an opportunity to land a hit on him once, she believed she could turn the tide!
With that.
She launched another assault on Qin Feng.
Elder General Shi felt helpless and could only let them continue.
Watching the battle unfold. The canonical source for this content: *.
He became more and more reassured and increasingly astonished.
Dozens of exchanges passed.
Phoenix hadn't gained the slightest advantage. Instead, Qin Feng occasionally seized opportunities to tap her acupoints; by this point, it was countless how many times he had done so.
Finally.
Thirty minutes came to an end.
Qin Feng's last "sword finger" tapped on the acupoint on her back, and with that, he pushed out a palm strike.
Phoenix staggered forward, nearly stumbling and falling.
By this time, she was already covered in sweat and gasping for breath.
Her eyes were also filled with unwillingness.
She was the Fighting Queen of Tiger Shark, yet she lost to him!
The two prominent "bunnies" in front of her heaved up and down energetically, causing Qin Feng's blood to rush and forcing him to avert his gaze elsewhere quickly.
"Hahaha..."
General Shi laughed excitedly at this moment, applauding Qin Feng, "Well done, very well done indeed, a true genius! Hahaha... Phoenix, he's entering the Tiger Shark now, no problem, right?"
He never imagined Qin Feng would be so powerful.
Such a talent must be retained.
"Not acceptable!"
Phoenix said indignantly, "He cheated! Everyone was supposed to compete with the cultivation of an Inner Strength Martial Disciple, but his physical strength and reaction speed are too fast, not within the category of an Inner Strength Martial Disciple at all. He must have refined some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. It's not fair!"
"Uh..."
Even General Shi found some sense in that.
He also observed that, though Qin Feng was merely a Martial Arts Apprentice, his physical strength was substantial, surely having refined Immortal Energy or something similar like Fang Wudi, and hence, his physical strength had already transcended the level of his current realm.
However, even so, he could see that Qin Feng's agility and skills were extraordinary, beyond the reach of ordinary people.
"I want another match!" Phoenix said defiantly, "This time, both sides will suppress all Inner Strength, relying purely on physical prowess!"
"That won't do."
General Shi flatly refused.
Without Inner Strength, he wasn't sure if Qin Feng could actually defeat Phoenix.
Phoenix turned to Qin Feng again, attempting to provoke him, "What? Scared?"
"I have no objections, but you better not move around right now," said Qin Feng. "Listen to me, now circulate your breath in a small circulation first."
"Hmph, fine!"
Phoenix sat crossed-legged at that moment.
Running the small circulation would eliminate fatigue and bring the body to peak condition, giving her the strength to forcefully seal her Qi Sea in the Dantian and then compete.
Seeing this, General Shi tried to persuade Qin Feng, "One match is enough, why listen to her?"
"It's fine, Grandpa Shi, let's go inside the house first."
Qin Feng suggested.
"Oh?"
General Shi was puzzled.
While Phoenix was circulating her breath, thinking that Qin Feng was leaving, she immediately called out, "You stop right there! After I finish circulating the small circulation, we'll continue the match!"
"Don't worry, I'm not leaving. I'm just going inside for a cup of tea," Qin Feng said.
Under Qin Feng's insistence, General Shi and the others all returned to the room.
General Shi kept persuading Qin Feng not to keep competing and that he had authority to decide the outcome based on the previous match results.
Qin Feng then smiled and said, "Don't worry, she'll realize soon that she's lost."
"Hey, you don't understand. The reason for her achievements today, for becoming the leader of her group and the Queen of Combat, is her unyielding spirit. It's incredibly difficult to get her to admit defeat..." General Shi continued.
At that moment.
Suddenly, a muffled sound erupted from the courtyard.
Boom!!
The entire house shook with the tremor, and ripples formed in the cup of tea.
"What's going on?" General Shi exclaimed in surprise, rising to look outside.
In the courtyard.
Phoenix was already standing up, staring at her hands in amazement, her eyes filled with disbelief.
"I, I..."
She was in disbelief, muttering, "I, it seems like I've made a breakthrough..."
"What?!" General Shi and others widened their eyes in astonishment.
Upon closer inspection.
The fatigue that had cloaked her body vanished in an instant!
She stood there as if a clear, beautiful, and majestic sky, giving a clear, beautiful, and imposing aura...
"Indeed!" General Shi felt the sudden change in her too, and announced, "Grandmaster! You have now broken through to the Grandmaster Realm!!"
The others were excited too.
Being so young and reaching the Grandmaster Realm, there were truly few like her in the world!
And.
Many talents encounter a bottleneck after reaching the Half-step Master level, unable to progress further in their entire lives.
Now she has crossed that threshold!
"But... why? How?" Phoenix was still in shock.
