Martial Artist: Stronger by Coasting Along

Chapter 12: Body 4.0 Skin Phase Awakens!


As martial arts students who also come from the West Warehouse District and Outer Ring City, Chen Duling witnessed with her own eyes how Zhang Lingfeng rose from the Ninth Middle School and led his family to move into the Inner Ring City.

She does not want to see Zhang Lingfeng fail.

She hopes the two can meet in the third phase advanced assessment plane and compete once again.

"Boom!"

In the narrow passage, Zhang Lingfeng also realized that he was being targeted by the Catfish Demon.

There was no choice; he had killed too many Catfish Demons and was the fastest to run. If he were the Catfish Demon King, he wouldn't let someone like that escape either.

In the eyes of the Catfish Demon King, not only did he have the highest combat power, but he also seemed to be the leader of these martial arts students. As the saying goes, to capture thieves, capture the king first. The Catfish Demon King would not easily let Zhang Lingfeng go.

Zhang Lingfeng could only charge forward.

He couldn't go back to kill the Catfish Demon King and then return to the passage to continue fighting.

His task was to leave this ghost place as quickly as possible, not to slay the Catfish Demon King and waste too much time here.

"Buzz!"

Thus, the Thirteen Forms Spear Technique in Zhang Lingfeng's hands became so fast it left no shadow.

The realm of perfect strength made every spear attack and defense, and even the explosion of power, flawless. No matter whether the combat power was 15.0, 18.0, or even over 20.0, any Catfish Demon that touched the spear was instantly killed.

No Catfish Demon could withstand Zhang Lingfeng's attack.

Gradually, the bodies of Catfish Demons piled up in the tunnel, and the smell of blood grew stronger. The mucus flowing from the Catfish Demons increased.

In the back, it even gathered into a thick stream.

Both in front and behind Zhang Lingfeng, Catfish Demons relentlessly approached him.

He killed more and more; in the narrow space, unless his spear technique reached the Perfection Level and his strength was perfect, he could not smoothly perform.

"I must get out of here quickly, or if I get blocked, I might not be torn apart, but I will surely be poisoned by the mucus."

The mucus of Catfish Demons is highly toxic; if it gets on a wound, it will turn fatal even for a Dharma Realm martial artist, who dares not ignore the poison of the Catfish Demons.

Because whether it was this Catfish Demon storm or the previous small-scale Catfish Demon riot, it brought deadly damage to South City's defensive forces.

This time, controlling the Catfish Demon storm mainly relied on Ao Dagang rushing back to South City to help the City Lord's army slay the Catfish Demon King.

Otherwise, the Great Radiation Zone would have fallen, and even the Outer Ring City would be in danger.

"Kill!"

Zhang Lingfeng's spear technique exploded continuously, the long spear advancing like a drill. The realm of perfect strength made each of his strikes terrifying, and no Catfish Demon could withstand it.

"Screech!"

The Catfish Demons charged forward fearlessly, determined to keep Zhang Lingfeng, even at the cost of their entire tribe's lives.

Yesterday, he ranked first in the first phase.

During the second phase of evaluation, people in various observation rooms were primarily focused on Zhang Lingfeng. Seeing him swiftly dash out, being the first to rush into the passage, wreaking havoc, and making the Catfish Demon King howl incessantly, rallying most forces to surround Zhang Lingfeng, everyone was worried for him.

They all could see that Zhang Lingfeng had impressive combat power.

He was the strongest among this batch of martial arts students, but the most formidable aspect of alien demon beasts lies in their strong breeding capability. They thrive in harsh environments, swallow pollutants to strengthen themselves, and have high solidarity, fighting to the death without fear.

Therefore, even with human strongmen whose combat power far exceeds alien beings, once blocked by waves of alien creatures, they must break through at the first moment. Otherwise, they will be engulfed by the wave, and their strength will be exhausted till death.

This is the most terrifying aspect of the Alien Race.

They are bloodthirsty, crave battle; the harder humans fight back, the fiercer they become, fearless of death. Each time something like this happens, people feel a chill run down their spines.

Those who have fought Catfish Demons in the Great Radiation Zone find the scene familiar.

Despite it just being an assessment.

Even if Zhang Lingfeng were to be overwhelmed by the Catfish Demon wave, he wouldn't really die in it. Yet at this moment, everyone hopes Zhang Lingfeng can break through.

As for whether Zhang Lingfeng can be first to break out and get first place in the second phase, it is no longer important for many people.

The Seven Great Star Systems Alliance established these assessment standards to enhance human strength and equip humans to deal with alien invasions.

As long as Zhang Lingfeng can break through, regardless of performance, even if he dies at the last moment, as long as he can see that ray of hope, he will have one more chance of survival when fighting on the front lines or hunting Catfish Demons in the Great Radiation Zone.

At this moment, no matter who you ask, no one hopes that a genius like Zhang Lingfeng will die in this battle, even if it's just an assessment.

"Principal."

Yang Liru was heart-stricken.

Wang Dashan watched as the number of catfish demons in the tunnel increased, the corpses almost blocking the tunnel, and the poisonous mucus became more and more abundant, controlling his clenched fist.

He knew that no matter how fast Zhang Lingfeng's spear technique was at this moment, able to kill the catfish demons rushing close, once the poisonous mucus enters his nasal cavity or drowns him, he's definitely doomed.

"Damn it!"

Yan Fei punched the table, smashing it to pieces.

He gritted his teeth, staring at the screen where Zhang Lingfeng was battling in the tunnel, unable to help but grit his teeth and say, "Yesterday I went to find him, wanting to teach him the best cultivation method of the Golden Sand Body Tempering Technique, but he rather play games than spend more time with me.

If he'd been serious about cultivation since the Advanced Cultivation Class started, with my ability and his talent, his combat power value could definitely reach 4.0 right now. He might even have opened the Dharma Aspect, becoming a true Dharma Martial Artist, able not only to kill his way out of the tunnel faster but withstand the poison with the Dharma Aspect!

Truly hateful, hateful!

If the people above know he died in such an environment, they will surely talk to me!"

Yan Fei spoke more and more agitatedly, his whole body feeling frustrated, like punching into cotton, extremely unsatisfying and uncomfortable.

As a master of body tempering techniques, he was confident that as long as Zhang Lingfeng was willing to cooperate, with the other's demon-level talent and his teaching ability, he could definitely elevate Zhang Lingfeng's physical fitness in a short time.

However, Zhang Lingfeng never went to his Dharma Hall.

Yesterday, he personally ran to him, urging him to cultivate earnestly, only to be tricked into going back to sleep, originally thinking he was tired, not expecting him to play games all night.

Now, seeing him in a dangerous situation.

For a moment, Yan Fei hoped Zhang Lingfeng would die at his hand, even if it's just an assessment.

"Ah, wait after the assessment ends, find an opportunity to talk to him."

Wang Dashan didn't know how to comfort Yan Fei.

Every time thinking of Zhang Lingfeng dancing the Steel Spear Dance in the cultivation room in front of him, and graffitiing in the tunnel, his injuries aggravated a bit more.

Now seeing Yan Fei raging madly, being provoked like this by Zhang Lingfeng, Wang Dashan's injuries finally eased a lot.

However, Yan Fei's next words made his injuries severe again.

"If he can fight his way out, with his combat power value, he can absolutely score well in the advanced assessment realm, which will elevate Ninth Middle School's resource subsidy to a higher level."

Yan Fei knew Wang Dashan felt somewhat schadenfreude.

Wang Dashan instantly fell silent.

"What a pity."

In the City Lord's Mansion.

Ao Dagang and City Lord Xu Songlin sat together, both watching Zhang Lingfeng's assessment situation. Seeing him being blocked in the tunnel, with catfish demons accumulating front and rear, the opportunity to get out gradually becoming diminishing, couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh.

Even though it's just an assessment.

Sometimes it leaves a huge shadow for humanity, wondering if Zhang Lingfeng can withstand it, facing catfish demons in a real environment. If encountering the same scene, would his mentality collapse first.

Ao Dagang knew.

The strong must first have a persevering heart, and then talent.

"Buzz!"

In the tunnel, Zhang Lingfeng also found catfish demons increasing, and the viscous poison started to reach his ankles, the light ahead gradually being blocked by catfish demon shadows.

But at this moment, he felt the surface of his skin start to heat up, as if a force was awakening from the skin's surface.

In the real world, Zhang Lingfeng in the sleep pod, the surface of his skin seemed to breathe and gradually became bright red.

With the all-weather breathing and exhaling ability triggered, the 4.0 skin phase awakening node finally found the opportunity to awaken power at the crucial moment.

Letting Zhang Lingfeng's consciousness, projected into the Star Realm, both physically and consciously responded.

(The climax is here, can't stop, I'll continue writing, come back later for another chapter!)
