Chapter 72 The Power of Wind and Thunder, the Perfected Heaven-Burning Palm!
On the stage, a mentor announced the official start of the match and then left the arena.
Only Jiang Feng and Zhang Ruanruan remained on the stage.
The audience was abuzz with discussion.
"Finally, it's the last match! I never expected Jiang Feng to be here!"
"Do you think he can continue to create miracles? He just crushed Ding Xiuqi, who was at the seventh level of Body Tempering and had spiritual bone aptitude!"
"Hard to say! Zhang Ruanruan isn't human either; she possesses the Pure Water Dao Bone! In terms of strength, she's absolutely overwhelming, and water attribute naturally counters fire attribute. Jiang Feng's Flame Collapse Fist probably won't be able to unleash its full power!"
"If that's the case, then maybe only the Anti-Demon Saint Body from No. 1 Middle School can match her in martial arts aptitude."
"You mean Lu Hengzhou? That guy is really high-profile; I see him on my phone all the time."
"......"
The students below the stage whispered among themselves, their eyes filled with fervor. On the high platform, Principal Xu Yuan, Vice Principal Lin, and a group of instructors also held their breath, their eyes fixed on the arena.
"Old Xu, who do you think is the best?" Vice Principal Lin asked in a low voice.
Xu Yuan stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and said, "Zhang Ruanruan's foundation is unfathomable. The blessing of her Dao Bone makes her almost invincible among those of the same realm. But Jiang Feng... is quite strange. His Flame Collapse Fist at the perfect realm, coupled with the pseudo-dragon power contained within his body, if it really comes down to a fight, the outcome is still uncertain."
"Hehe." He chuckled again after saying that. "Of course, if we're really talking about personal feelings, I still hope Jiang Feng can win."
On the arena.
The two looked at each other calmly.
"Jiang Feng".
Zhang Ruanruan was the first to speak; her voice was as clear and melodious as a deep, icy spring.
Jiang Feng gave a soft "hmm".
"There's no need for us to test each other like we did in previous matches."
Zhang Ruanruan slightly raised her fair chin, and as her voice fell, layers of rich, azure-blue Daoist energy began to emanate from her body. The moisture in the air was instantly drawn away and gathered, forming a suffocating pressure.
She looked at Jiang Feng and suggested, "How about we settle this with one move?"
These words immediately caused an uproar in the audience.
A single move to decide the outcome?
So direct?
"A single move to decide the outcome?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Feng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he laughed freely, "Alright, let's settle this with one move!"
Between those at the same level, the difference in martial arts ability is like an insurmountable chasm.
He felt his chances of winning against the girl in front of him were less than 3%.
Although he had already accumulated six Hextech powers as his foundation in just one month, the time for development was still too short... If he were given another six months, or even a year, he would definitely be able to...
Thinking of this, Jiang Feng shook his head inwardly.
But that's all for later; let's focus on the present.
Someone like Zhang Ruanruan must have a backup plan that's no less effective than mine, so it would be best to decide the outcome with one decisive move.
"boom!"
The moment he answered, the blood and energy within the two men erupted simultaneously like a volcano that had been dormant for a thousand years!
The protective aura of her Dao bones condensed around Zhang Ruanruan's body, and at the same moment, she spread her hands and rapidly formed hand seals.
An extremely profound energy emanated from her body. Within seconds, the once clear sky above the martial arts arena was suddenly filled with dark clouds, and a fierce wind arose!
Water gives rise to clouds, clouds give rise to wind, and the friction of cloud layers produces thunder!
Zhang Ruanruan actually used the Purifying Water Dao Bone as a guide and her cultivation technique as an aid to forcibly create a small storm above the arena!
A fierce wind howled, cutting across the arena like a knife. In the dark clouds, purple lightning bolts darted and crisscrossed like mad snakes, crackling and making a chilling sound.
Zhang Ruanruan was bathed in wind, thunder, and water vapor, like a deity.
The audience: "?"
Jiang Feng: "?"
His face immediately turned ugly. Although he knew that Zhang Ruanruan usually practiced martial arts with the lightning attribute, this was just too exaggerated.
Body Tempering Realm martial artists, you better just engage in hand-to-hand combat, you bastards!
Then Zhang Ruanruan gave a clear shout, slightly bent her left hand, placed it on top of her right hand, and then slowly raised it.
The mist, hurricane, and lightning all merged perfectly at this moment, transforming into a great seal of wind and thunder, which hovered above her palm.
"Wind and Thunder Cut," she said calmly.
"Jiang Feng, I'll wait for you to gather your strength."
Jiang Feng forced a smile and dared not be negligent in the slightest.
A dragon roared –
The Darkborn Spirit Bone emitted a deep rumble within his body. In his heart, the True Dragon Soul, representing the ultimate flame, swirled. Streams of Hellfire replaced the Darkborn Blood, instantly draining the oxygen within several meters of him, causing even the air to visibly distort.
Jiang Feng slowly opened his right palm.
He knew that even though the Flame Collapse Fist was at its peak, the difference in skill level between the two was too great, and he would inevitably be at a disadvantage in dealing with that martial skill.
Since that's the case, the only option is...
He closed his eyes.
As the true fire boiled, a palm print, threatening to incinerate the heavens and boil the seas, condensed in his hand.
Burning Heaven Palm
He had mastered this skill in less than a month, and his speed of cultivation would scare many people to death if word got out. But only he knew that it was really... not enough!
He possesses the [Purgatory Dragon Soul], and his comprehension of fire-attribute martial arts has definitely reached the level of Dao Bone, or even Saint Bone!
On the panel, the proficiency of the Burning Heaven Palm technique remains at (Mastery 94%).
Since Zhang Ruanruan has given me time to gather my strength, then... I'll make it perfect!
Jiang Feng suddenly opened his eyes, which were already bloodshot, as if they had been completely ignited. Facing the thunderclouds that seemed to be only a thin line away from him in the distance, his hair stood on end, yet he was full of fighting spirit, and his potential was being frantically squeezed out!
"hold head high--"
The soul of the true dragon, deep within the heart, let out an unprecedentedly high-pitched dragon roar!
With the blessing of the Divine Dragon Flame Set, the fifteen crimson fire dragons exuding a destructive aura did not scatter and dance around his palm as usual. Instead, they were compressed and melted into his right palm by the violent pressure along his meridians!
Amidst the extreme pressure of life and death, a flash of inspiration struck Jiang Feng.
Suddenly, I had a sudden realization.
It was as if an invisible windowpane had been pierced in an instant.
The ferocity of fire and the power of palm-based martial arts blend perfectly at this moment.
His true fire flowed smoothly without any trace of awkwardness. At that moment, he finally understood the ultimate meaning of the "Burning Heaven Palm" – "Burning the sky and boiling the sea, covering the sky with one hand!"
[Burning Heaven Palm (Mastery 99%)]
Burning Heaven Palm, perfected!
He looked at Zhang Ruanruan and laughed brazenly, "Come on!"
With a roar, a massive crimson palm print, large enough to blot out the sky, suddenly condensed in mid-air. Fifteen fire dragons roared and swirled within the palm's lines, each containing extreme compression and explosive power, carrying temperatures so high they seemed to ignite the void itself, as they domineeringly and incomparably met the Wind and Thunder Seal!
Fire and water, red and blue, a giant hand of flame that blots out the sky and a great seal of wind and thunder collide fiercely in the center of this arena!
"Boom—!!!"
A deafening explosion resounded throughout the entire training ground, and a terrifying energy shockwave spread wildly in all directions from the point of impact.
