Martial Artist: Stronger by Coasting Along

Chapter 9: Leaving the Rest Far Behind


A rugged man, sitting next to the City Lord, watched the screen where every spear stroke from Zhang Lingfeng easily slayed the catfish demon. He couldn't help but say, "The spear technique is perfectly unified with power, with a combat power over 55.0. At such a young age, he can stand out among the crowd in South City. It's just a pity his physical fitness is somewhat lacking; his combat power mainly relies on the metamorphosis of skills. Once he hits a bottleneck in skills, it will be extremely difficult to advance."

"Master Ao, don't worry. I'll contact Yan Fei immediately and have him personally supervise Zhang Lingfeng's cultivation."

The City Lord, Xu Songlin, said.

He knew that Yan Fei was a Body Tempering Master, and he'd been in South City lately. This was a good opportunity for him to properly guide Zhang Lingfeng.

In the observation room of the Ninth Middle School, Yan Fei quickly received an invitation message from City Lord Xu Songlin. His corner of the mouth twitched intensely. The Seven Great Star Systems Alliance had already ordered him to wholeheartedly teach Zhang Lingfeng.

But Zhang Lingfeng simply wasn't receptive to it, leaving him helpless.

So he replied to the City Lord, "Sure, but please bring Zhang Lingfeng to me and have him accept my guidance and follow my arrangements."

Xu Songlin read the message from Yan Fei, feeling somewhat inexplicable, vaguely sensing a trace of anger but still replied cheerfully, "Of course, of course, I thank Teacher Yan on behalf of Zhang Lingfeng."

"Let's talk after you manage to bring Zhang Lingfeng to me."

Yan Fei quickly replied again.

"Alright."

Xu Songlin didn't think much of it.

He then turned to Ao Dagang and said, "Yan Fei has already agreed to personally guide Zhang Lingfeng's cultivation, to help Zhang Lingfeng improve his physical fitness."

"Enhancing physical fitness is particularly important for unlocking the Dharma Aspect. If Zhang Lingfeng can improve his physical fitness to 6.0 before the start of the next semester, I'll be willing to take him as a student and lead him to compete with all the martial students of South City and Jiangbei Province. I am confident I can get him into the top thirty."

Ao Dagang stated this with utmost assurance.

"Thank you, Master Ao. Don't worry, I will certainly push Yan Fei to ensure Zhang Lingfeng's physical fitness reaches 6.0 before the start of the next semester."

Xu Songlin declared resolutely, without considering the difficulty of this task in the slightest.

Inside the tunnel.

Teng Qingshan wielding the Flying Leaf Lotus Spear had reached the small accomplishment stage, and with a combat power surpassing 26.0, he maintained a forward-pressing stance against the catfish demon.

Not to say it was a total crushing, but at the very least, it was a sweeping path forward.

He estimated his points had already exceeded one hundred, and it was at this moment that six catfish demons appeared ahead, each with a combat power reaching 15.0.

He gritted his teeth and charged forward.

Killing a single catfish demon with a combat power of 15.0 could earn five points.

Six would be thirty points.

Though he was greatly exhausted along the way, relying on his combat power above 26.0 and his intermediate spear skills at the small accomplishment stage.

The six catfish demons with a combat power of 15.0 each, if careful, could be defeated by leveraging the narrow space of the tunnel.

Just then, at the tunnel's fork, a figure darted out.

"Zhang Lingfeng!"

Teng Qingshan immediately recognized that figure, his expression excited, eager to showcase his strength in front of Zhang Lingfeng and let him know what it meant to look at someone with new eyes after three days.

"Fellow student Teng Qingshan."

Finally encountering an acquaintance in the tunnel, Zhang Lingfeng couldn't help but greet him.

But his steps didn't stop.

He continued rushing forward.

Seeing the six catfish demons ahead, Zhang Lingfeng didn't care about their combat power, and his body swiftly darted past them.

Six spear shadows were consecutively thrust out.

The six catfish demons fell like six scarecrows brought down together.

Just about to unleash his full strength, Teng Qingshan, upon seeing this scene, was stunned as if struck by lightning. He stared blankly at Zhang Lingfeng's back, who swept away like a gust of wind, disappearing in the blink of an eye around the tunnel bend.

(I've noticed people discussing Chen Duling's combat power and the recent rapid increase in the protagonist's combat power. I'd like to remind everyone that Zhang Lingfeng has transitioned from Outer Ring City to Inner Ring City—these are two different areas, and the combat power systems aren't comparable to Outer Ring City.

Moreover, each stage crossover for a martial artist signifies a significant increase in combat power. For Zhang Ling Feng to compete with all the martial students of Jiangbei Province, his current combat power and physical fitness are still far from sufficient.

In this resource-scarce, precarious survival environment for humanity, if this level of combat power were sufficient to solve problems, human survival wouldn't be as difficult.)
