When 'God' Decides To Start Over

Chapter 603 - 252: Confidence is Earned_2

"If I had known this, we should have gone in ourselves. Even if we lost, at least we would lose with dignity. Qian Zhongshan’s abilities are still too weak," sighed the Gun Demon.

"What’s the point of saying that now? When the Commander came to ask you to fight, why didn’t you agree?" Hua Mei interjected.

"There’s no point anyway—all we would do is lose," shrugged the Gun Demon helplessly.

"Since you all know this, what else is there to say?" Hua Mei watched as Qian Zhongshan entered the Martial Arts Arena and exclaimed lightly, "That’s odd, has Qian Zhongshan changed his Demon Armor? I’ve never seen this set before."

"Changing Demon Armor won’t help. His Spiritual Sense is too ordinary to activate special Demon Armor. No matter how much the armor is updated, he still struggles to compete with the Super Spirit Testers. That old fellow Wu Xingyun has been a Super Spirit for ten years now, though he forgets his Light Base in this lifetime. Still, he isn’t considered weak at the Super Spirit level. Qian Zhongshan doesn’t stand a chance," Sword Saint coldly stated.

"If you all look down on Captain Qian so much, then why come here to spectate?" Lei Qingfeng, sitting behind, said discontentedly.

"It’s not about looking down on anyone; I’m merely stating a fact," Sword Saint replied.

"What do you mean by ’fact’? The fact is you haven’t even watched the match yet, and you’re already undermining it. The fight hasn’t happened yet, so how do you know Captain Qian and his Demon Armor aren’t good?" Lei Qingfeng retorted.

"For a Magic Armor Master, Spiritual Sense dictates everything. The result is clear without having to watch," Sword Saint said.

As the two argued, Wu Xingyun entered the Martial Arts Arena as well, and the people from Wuyun Line and the Li Family cheered for him, presenting a stark contrast to the indifference from the Magic Armor Masters.

Li Xiu and Sha Chu sat atop the platform, observing the scene below, without any particular reaction.

Seeing Qian Zhongshan looking at him from within the Martial Arts Arena, Li Xiu gestured an OK sign to him.

Qian Zhongshan, upon seeing Li Xiu, felt a sense of calm, took a deep breath, and looked across at Wu Xingyun.

Wu Xingyun stood boldly in the Martial Arts Arena, holding a Skinning Knife Coexistence Contract, and said to Qian Zhongshan while keeping his hands behind his back, "Strike first. If I attack, you won’t get a chance."

The words were arrogant, yet few considered Wu Xingyun arrogant because he indeed had the right to say them.

Although Wu Xingyun wasn’t a genius like Jing Li or Su Bancheng, he toiled until his fifties before becoming a Super Spirit, and after over ten years of this state, he reached only an eighty-plus Super Spirit Limit.

Even so, he was already considered a remarkable person. Many Trial Takers never even dream of becoming Super Spirit.

Moreover, Wu Xingyun wasn’t without outstanding skills. It’s said that before joining Longevity Heaven, Wu Xingyun was a martial arts expert, particularly skilled in a body technique known as Eight Trigrams Body Traveling Step.

After becoming a Tester, Wu Xingyun furthered this body technique and proved ferocious in combat, especially adept at dodging and seizing opportunities.

With Wu Xingyun’s Super Spirit Force, it’s not only challenging for an S-Class Magic Armor Master but also hard for fellow Super Spirit Testers to hit him; his body technique is impressively slick.

Wu Xingyun’s arrogance in the arena was also due to his proficiency in body techniques, coupled with Li Changyin specially instructing him to suppress the Technician group’s pride in this battle; thus, Wu Xingyun was this arrogant.

"Let me oblige you," Qian Zhongshan coldly said, conjuring a Demon Light Ball with his right hand, and flung it straight towards Wuyun Line.

Qian Zhongshan himself felt uncertain, so this Demon Light Ball was hurled with utmost care, meeting the highest standards practiced usually.

The Demon Light Ball flew directly at Wu Xingyun. Seeing Qian Zhongshan using an attack any Magic Armor Master could deploy against him, Wu Xingyun sneered, "You underestimate me too much, Wu Xingyun. I gave you a chance; use your full strength. Miss this opportunity, and you’ll regret it when I make my move."

While speaking, Wu Xingyun side-stepped, attempting to evade Qian Zhongshan’s Demon Light Ball.

He thought he had dodged successfully, but the Demon Light Ball suddenly veered violently, catching him off guard, even without entering the Super Spirit State, blasting directly onto his left shoulder.

Boom!

Wu Xingyun’s body was sent flying to one side, his arm pulverized and bloodied, as the Coexistence Contract dropped from his grasp.

As Wu Xingyun fell to the ground, everyone watched, stunned, unable to comprehend how Wu Xingyun fell just like that.

Li Changyin on the platform wore an exceedingly unpleasant face, inwardly cursing Wu Xingyun as an idiot.

Wu Xingyun himself was stunned. He calculated precisely, should have dodged the Demon Light Ball; how was it able to change direction?

Covering his wounded arm, Wu Xingyun tried to get up and grab his Skinning Knife but hadn’t yet stood when he saw Qian Zhongshan already rushing over, madly throwing Demon Light Balls at him.

One after another, Demon Light Balls traced strange arcs, wildly bombarding Wu Xingyun.

Without his Coexistence Contract enabling the Super Spirit State, Wu Xingyun could only rely on Eight Trigrams Body Traveling Step to evade.

This is the drawback of Super Spirit Testers; they inherently lack Light Energy reserves, relying wholly on Coexistence Contracts—unlike the Light Base level, which can unleash terrifying Light Energy even without Coexistence Contracts.
