The medical team rushed over, ready to take the injured Lin Li for treatment. But Lin Li pushed them away, stubbornly insisting, "No need! It's just a minor injury! I can still fight!" However, as soon as he spoke, he coughed up a mouthful of blood, making his words far from convincing. Seeing this, the medical personnel had no choice but to forcibly place him on a stretcher and carry him away.
...
Xu Bing stood at the center of the martial arts stage, a look of confusion on her face. Even she hadn't expected that this mysterious power would be so overwhelming. She couldn't understand—what exactly was this force, and how had it entered her body?
...
Down below, ever since witnessing the appearance of the Purple Qi, Ouyang Yunzhi's mood had sunk into a deep gloom that she couldn't shake: "The Second Level Spiritual Energy has already emerged! This means the apocalypse isn't far off! But has humanity truly prepared itself?"
...
"Cough, cough!"
At that moment, the special operations chief walked onto the stage and stood beside Xu Bing. "Well done, young lady! Truly unexpected!" he said with a hearty laugh, his eyes brimming with unconcealed admiration. He then turned to the crowd below and asked, "So, is there anyone else brave enough to step up and challenge her?"
...
"Who would dare now? Xu Bing might be labeled as C++ Grade, but her Combat Power clearly meets the standards of a B Grade! Only a B Grade expert could possibly stand a chance against her! Tsk tsk, the Martial Power is truly terrifying!" The crowd buzzed with discussion, but no one dared to step forward.
...
The chief waited a while longer, but seeing that no one was willing to come up, he declared, "Since no one dares to challenge her, then the champion of this Super Martial Arts Tournament is—"
Just then, a clear voice rang out, cutting through the air: "Vermilion Bird Squad! Ning Shuangyu! C++ Grade Combat Power! I seek your guidance."
...
"What the hell?!" Nearby, people turned in shock to see Ning Shuangyu stepping out of the crowd with a determined expression. "Isn't that Captain Ning from the Vermilion Bird Squad?" they exclaimed. "Indeed! She's as confident as ever! Ning Shuangyu is a rare dual-ability user, but her abilities—Intuition and Spiritual Combat—are both quite common. There's nothing particularly special about them!"
...
Xu Bing's earlier display of power had been so terrifying that everyone had already mentally labeled her as "invincible within her grade." As for Ning Shuangyu? No one could deny her excellence, but her era had passed. The current stage belonged to Xu Bing, the chosen one of this generation.
...
Seeing Ning Shuangyu step onto the stage, the chief's expression shifted slightly. At this moment, it was clearly Xu Bing's domain. Ning Shuangyu's challenge seemed like a futile attempt to save face. But in the end, he said nothing, only advising Xu Bing, "Comrades sparring should know when to stop."
Xu Bing nodded. Earlier, it had been her first time using the mysterious Purple Qi power, and she had no grasp of its strength or limits. She had unintentionally injured Lin Li due to her lack of control. Now, she would naturally be more careful to avoid harming Ning Shuangyu.
...
Although Xu Bing and Ning Shuangyu were on good terms privately, on the stage, they exchanged few words. A match was a match. While it wasn't a fight to the death, it would inevitably determine a winner. Both would take it seriously—this was their mutual respect.
...
Caught off guard!
Ning Shuangyu instantly charged forward, leaving only a blur in her wake! The onlookers couldn't help but exclaim:
"So fast!"
"To have trained her combat abilities to such a level, Captain Ning is truly remarkable!"
"But isn't Lin Li still stronger than her?"
...
Xu Bing's reaction was equally swift!
In the blink of an eye!
Their fists and feet had already clashed several times!
Crackling sounds filled the air before they abruptly distanced themselves!...
Xu Bing said, "Captain, be careful!"
With that!
A faint wisp of spiritual energy began to emanate from her body! However, the spiritual energy she released now was tinged with purple amidst the red, rather than being pure Purple Qi...
...
Ouyang Yunzhi, standing below the stage, was the first to notice this.
She immediately frowned:
"Is the concentration of Second Level Spiritual Energy decreasing?"
No mistake, no omission, no content outside of 69shuba!
"That means..."
"This Second Level Spiritual Energy isn't something she cultivated herself!"
"It will eventually be depleted!"
...
Ning Shuangyu slightly furrowed her brow and released her Psychic Power!
It spread across the arena.
Thus.
Every subtle movement of Xu Bing became an extremely clear close-up in her perception! This allowed her to anticipate Xu Bing's attack patterns!
This was likely her only advantage!
Whoosh——
Xu Bing charged towards Ning Shuangyu!
Knowing the power behind this strike, Ning Shuangyu naturally couldn't take it head-on.
So she narrowly dodged several times!
After Xu Bing missed a few times, her speed visibly began to slow down!
Ning Shuangyu, who had initially struggled.
Became increasingly at ease.
...
Xu Bing's strength was indeed impressive.
But compared to Ning Shuangyu, she lacked combat experience and wasn't flexible enough to adapt.
After a long while.
She finally realized that Ning Shuangyu was deliberately draining her stamina!
At this moment! Ouyang Yunzhi suddenly shouted from below the stage, "Xu Bing, concede!"
Hearing this!
Everyone was shocked: "Concede? Why concede?"
"Xu Bing clearly has the upper hand in this fight!"
"What's going on here?"
...
On the stage.
Upon hearing Ouyang Yunzhi's words, Xu Bing eagerly stopped her movements and said to Ning Shuangyu, "Captain Shuangyu, I concede!"
In truth.
She never wanted to fight Ning Shuangyu in the first place.
Ning Shuangyu slightly furrowed her brow and looked towards Ouyang Yunzhi below the stage:
"Why?"
Ouyang Yunzhi replied, "This girl has good talent, but she lacks experience and has already fallen into your rhythm."
"If this continues."
"The only outcome will be her spiritual energy being depleted, leading to her defeat!"
...
Xu Bing wanted to retort:
'I've already figured out her strategy! I was about to change tactics!'
But after some thought——
It seemed Ning Shuangyu really needed this bottle of Super Energy Liquid.
So she complied, "Understood! Captain Shuangyu, I admit defeat wholeheartedly!"
Ning Shuangyu, however, felt something was off.
...
"Since Xu Bing has conceded, the winner is Ning Shuangyu!"
The Special Operations Chief announced.
Following the procedure, he asked, "Is there anyone else who wishes to challenge?"
...
Instantly!
The crowd below the stage grew restless again.
Although Ning Shuangyu defeated Xu Bing on the stage, did that necessarily prove she was stronger than Xu Bing? Not necessarily.
At the very least, they didn't hold the same level of reverence for Ning Shuangyu.
Ning Shuangyu's performance just now wasn't exactly convincing! Some people were itching to step forward.
But at that moment.
They felt a chilling gaze!
Turning their heads, they saw members of both the Martial Arts Squad and the Vermilion Bird Squad staring at them intently!
The message was clear:
"Dare to compete with Captain Ning for the Superpower Elixir? Unless you have a death wish!"
Seeing this.
Those people had no choice but to back down.
Ning Shuangyu on the stage wasn't alone; she had the support of two squads behind her!...
With everything settled, the commander finally announced: "So! The champion of the first Super Martial Arts Competition is Ning Shuangyu!"
"This bottle of Superpower Elixir is yours!"
...
At the Jiangbei Villa.
Lin Lang was playing hide and seek with Xu Xingyao.
She hid.
He sought.
Finding her would lead to some fun!
But suddenly! Lin Lang received a return message: [Ning Shuangyu consumed 1 bottle of high-grade Superpowe
r Elixir, returned 5000 bottles, stored in host space]
"Superpower Elixir?"
Lin Lang took out a bottle from his space.
He examined it closely.
Only to realize: "Isn't this just a semi-finished pill?"
