Godly Base - Chapter 193: Taking First Place
Chapter 193: Taking First Place
Shu Feng sent Mu Tianlong flying with his sword strike. But then Jiang Chao’s fist slammed into his sword, shattered his spirit force, and pushed him a dozen plus steps away.
“Ha-ha! Again!”
Shu Feng’s sun moon spirit force revolved, and the minor wounds on his body healed completely. At the same time, a sun rose and slashed towards Jiang Chao.
Jiang Chao’s eyes flashed coldly. He surged with golden light from his palms, raised his palms, and, as if a Vajra supporting a pagoda, shattered the sword ray that looks like a sun.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Mu Tianlong stepped forward, and the spear in his hands ejected out like a poisonous dragon. The spear was as fast as lightning and has tyrannical power.
Shu Feng swung his sword, instantly superposed his spirit force 10 times, and hit Mu Tianlong’s spear with his sword, and spirit force burst out and rushed towards Mu Tianlong.
“This guy had a breakthrough!”
Mu Tianlong urged his spirit force and blocked nine layers of spirit force one after another. However, the tenth layer broke through his defenses and hit him, and he spat out blood. He was pushed several steps back, a look of shock in his eyes.
“That’s right! Mu Tianlong, thank you for helping me sharpen my sword!”
Shu Feng’s eyes flashed with fighting spirit. Following an abstruse footwork, he appeared in front of Mu Tianlong in an instant, and a sun rose and slashed towards Mu Tianlong.
With his physical constitution, which has exceeded that of human Spirit Grandmasters, Shu Feng’s cooldown period is much shorter than that of a paragon like Mu Tianlong.
Jiang Chao suddenly performed the Vajra Mark, and his hands surged with golden light and shot towards Shu Feng’s back.
“Hundred Temperings Steel Body!”
Shu Feng didn’t dodge. Instead, he stimulated his spirit force, and his body became as hard as steel. At the same time, his sword continued to slash towards Mu Tianlong.
Ding!
Mu Tianlong blocked with his spear, and a terrible sound broke out. 10 layers of scorching, domineering, sun-like spirit force transmitted from the spear and assaulted his body, and the spear slipped out of his hands.
Bang!
Jiang Chao’s palms struck Shu Feng’s back and unleashed a metallic sound.
Shu Feng opened his mouth, and blood ejected out, hit Mu Tianlong in the face, and obstructed his vision. Taking advantage of this, he stepped forward and brandished his sword.
A fearsome sword ray flashed past, and Mu Tianlong trembled and turned into smoke that dispersed with a gust of wind.
After killing Mu Tianlong, Shu Feng laughed loudly, and then turned around and unleashed Sun Blots out the Sky. A sun shot towards Jiang Chao.
“Vajra Vanquishes Demon!”
Jiang Chao’s eyes constricted. He stimulated his spirit force. As if a demon-vanquishing Vajra, he shone with golden light and sent a palm shooting towards the sun.
Bang!
10 times superposed spirit force broke out in an instant and sent Jiang Chao flying backwards for a dozen plus meters.
Shu Feng performed Sun Blots out the Sky repeatedly and frenziedly attacked Jiang Chao.
Jiang Chao managed to block Shu Feng’s sword four times. In the end, he was split in two by Shu Feng’s fifth sword strike and turned into smoke.
“This guy is truly a freak! He was hit by my palm, yet he is all fine and dandy. He’s truly a direbeast in human form!”
When Jiang Chao regained his consciousness, he glanced in the direction where Shu Feng is located, and his eyes flashed with unwillingness. His palm strike was extremely powerful. Even if it’s an ordinary human Spirit Grandmaster, he would be seriously injured if hit by his palm strike. Yet Shu Feng not only took his palm strike head on and didn’t die, but he was even fine and dandy. That’s simply inconceivable.
Mu Tianlong’s gazed also turned towards Shu Feng, and then he looked at Jiang Chao and smiled wryly.
Shu Feng stayed alone in the deepest part of the hollow demon nest until the end of the competition.
Wisp of smoke rose as the dreamland collapsed, and Shu Feng opened his eyes.
“Shu Feng of Shuijing High School has taken first place in the national high school spirit martial arts competition! Let’s give him a round of applause!”
On the dais, a master of ceremonies clapped his hands and said thusly.
A uniform applause rose in the martial arts ground.
Scorching gazes focused on Shu Feng.
The high-ranking officials and big shots of the Qianyuan Republic have begun to think of ways to rope Shu Feng in and make him their son-in-law.
In ancient times, there was a tradition of rich families and aristocratic families taking poor scholars who won top marks in the imperial examination as their sons-in-law.
In a similar fashion, in modern times, marriage is still an extremely effective method. Every time the national high school spirit martial arts competition if held, the top 10 are pursued by rich families and aristocratic families.
Song He’s eyes flashed with excitement, and he laughed heartily: “First place! That’s great! Shuijing High School has finally proclaimed itself hegemon in the national high school spirit martial arts competition once more!”
With Shu Feng taking first place, Shuijing High School’s reputation will soar, which will help it attract more talents and consequently become more famous, forming a virtuous cycle.
Fang Yao smiled sweetly and said: “Song He, Shu Feng used my quota to undergo transformation in the Dragonification Spirit Pool. Can you reimburse it?”
Song He laughed happily and said: “Of course! You’ll be rewarded with a Dragonification Spirit Pool quota!”
Dragonification Spirit Pool quotas are very precious. Song He can’t allocate them at will. However, with Shu Feng making such a great achievement, as his master, Fang Yao can naturally get a lot of rewards.
Shuijing High School and the other two great extraordinary high schools encourage teachers to cultivate talents. If talents rise and make achievements, the teachers will be handsomely rewarded. Of course, if they fail to make any achievements, the schools won’t reimburse the investment of the teachers.
“Second place, Mu Tianlong!”
“Third place, Jiang Chao!”
“…”
The master of ceremonies recited names one by one, for a total of 20 names.
A total of 2,000 plus talents participated in the national high school spirit martial arts competition, but only these 20 talents can get generous rewards.
This is one of the few paths that can lead poor family children of the Qianyuan Republic to a better future.
In the Qianyuan Republic, the best resources are in the hands of aristocratic families and magnus families. For poor family children to get ahead, they can either join aristocratic families and magnus families, or fight over cultivation resources via national competitions such as national high school spirit martial arts competition.
The 20 talents who were named went up the dais one by one.
As if an emperor, Spirit Saint Wu Zhongchao sitting at the very front on the dais rose from his seat and walked towards the 20 talents.
“Nice show! Just like today, I hope you can kill a lot of hollow demons in the future! The future belongs to the young.”
Wu Zhongchao walked up to Shu Feng, patted him on the shoulder, spoke words of praise, and handed him a certificate.
Shu Feng uttered: “Thank you, Spirit Saint!”
Wu Zhongchao smiled, and then walked up to Mu Tianlong, spoke a few words, and handed him a certificate.
