PDLP Chapter 131 Standing Stick
Chapter 131 Standing Stick
When the matchup list was refreshed and Lin Qiye's name appeared opposite his, Liu Zhenlong's expression was very complicated.
He stood in the lounge, looking at the familiar name ranked 3rd on the screen, and for a moment he was in a daze.
Once upon a time, this person from the bottom of a remote grain-producing area was nothing more than an ant that had managed to crawl onto the dinner table by sheer luck, not even worthy of his attention.
He clearly remembered the disdain and contempt he felt when Yan Feilong was punched into a pig's head by this guy during the entrance exam.
He also remembered his condescending attitude when he met him again on the shopping street before the start of the school exams.
But now...
Feng Shui turns.
This person, whom he once looked down upon, has risen to prominence in a way he could not comprehend at all, becoming a top genius on par with Chen Xuanyi and Tang Dongshan!
Even Qin Xiaoxiao, who had also comprehended the martial arts will, was defeated so miserably by him.
Now, however, he must face this being, whom he once regarded as an ant, as a challenger.
This huge gap in his social status made him feel an indescribable sense of frustration and absurdity.
……
Meanwhile, in the VIP ward of the medical center.
After undergoing top-notch medical treatment, Qin Xiaoxiao slowly regained consciousness.
The wounds sustained during the battle with Chen Xuanyi have all healed completely, leaving not even a single scar.
She slowly sat up, and the first thing she did was to turn on her personal terminal.
The light screen lit up, displaying the official live broadcast of the match from the Galaxy Wuhan University website.
Upon seeing those two familiar figures in the scene, her usually cold eyes narrowed instantly.
It's Lin Qiye!
And... Liu Zhenlong!
The two of them... actually ran into each other?!
Can Liu Zhenlong win?
This thought popped uncontrollably into Qin Xiaoxiao's mind.
But almost at the same instant, she subconsciously shook her head, rejecting the idea.
No!
Involuntarily, the image of that boundless sea of lava, capable of completely incinerating even the soul, resurfaced in her mind.
Faced with that terrifying will, his proud martial intent was like a block of ice thrown into a furnace, instantly evaporated and vaporized, without any power to resist.
She will never forget that absolute crushing on that level, that feeling of despair as if a natural disaster had struck.
She knew that Liu Zhenlong was very strong.
At Tiantai No.1 Middle School, he always outshone me.
But so what?
Faced with Lin Qiye's already erupting "super volcano," both he and Liu Zhenlong were nothing more than children playing house, fragile and easily defeated.
Lin Qiye's martial arts will has become so powerful that it's unbelievable!
Even... Qin Xiaoxiao had a feeling that the power was perhaps even more terrifying than that of Chen Xuanyi, who was ranked number one!
It was an unreasonable power that could erase all differences and ignore all other weaknesses in a person!
She gently shook her head, looking at the man in the light screen whose expression remained calm, a complex feeling welling up in her heart.
……
The atmosphere on the training ground was extremely tense.
Liu Zhenlong took a deep breath and took an alloy rod from the weapon rack.
He had already begun studying Lin Qiye after the first stage of the competition ended.
After all, the fact that he could beat Qin Xiaoxiao, who had also comprehended the martial arts will, so badly was enough to make him take it seriously.
He knew that any underestimation or probing of Lin Qiye would be tantamount to suicide.
From the very beginning, we must unleash our full strength and use the most unexpected methods to disrupt the opponent's rhythm!
As the bell rang, the competition officially began!
Without the slightest hesitation, Liu Zhenlong pushed off the ground with his toes and shot into the sky like a cannonball!
Almost at the same moment he leaped up, his martial will also burst forth!
[Martial Will - Thunderous Fury]!
A fierce and indomitable fighting spirit surged from his body, forming an invisible barrier to resist Lin Qiye's terrifying pressure, which was like a wildfire spreading across the land!
Immediately afterwards, he slammed the alloy rod in his hand into the ground!
"Thump!"
With a muffled thud, the long staff, like a stabilizing pillar, stood firmly in the center of the training ground.
Liu Zhenlong's figure landed nimbly on the top of the upright long stick, just like a monkey!
He stood firmly on the top of the stick, which was only as thick as a fist, and his body swayed with the slight movement of the stick, like the magic needle in mythology that stirs up the wind and clouds, ready to strike!
He looked down at Lin Qiye with sharp eyes like a hawk, watching his every move and searching for any fleeting weakness.
Stand upright!
This is one of his most treasured skills!
By changing their height and position, they completely disrupt the opponent's attack rhythm, causing a huge deviation in the opponent's visual estimation and prediction, thus resulting in an attack error!
And this is his chance!
As long as Lin Qiye's first shot misses, he will seize that momentary opening and descend from the sky with overwhelming force to launch a fatal blow!
Combined with his own martial will - Thunderous Fury, a single strike can generate a force exceeding 20000 kg!
In the live broadcast studio of CCTV, the two top commentators were instantly excited when they saw this scene!
"Standing Staff! It's the Standing Staff stance from the A-level martial art 'Qi Tian Staff'!" The male commentator's voice was high-pitched and full of passion. "Ladies and gentlemen, look! At the very start of the match, Liu Zhenlong has chosen this highly entertaining, yet extremely risky, tactic! What is he trying to do? He's placing himself in the air, completely abandoning his ground advantage, in exchange for a surprise attack angle!"
"Yes, Teacher Zhang!" The female commentator's voice was equally sweet yet filled with tension. "The standing stance demands extremely high levels of balance, core strength, and timing from the athlete! A slight misstep can result in a fall from the top of the staff, revealing a fatal weakness! But once successful, it grants the athlete a perfect, commanding attacking perspective overlooking the entire arena!"
"That's right! Liu Zhenlong is demonstrating his strong confidence and superb skills in his own way! He didn't choose passive defense, but instead chose to take the initiative, challenging Lin Qiye's indomitable martial arts will in an unbelievable way! This match has entered a white-hot stage from the very beginning!"
The chat in the live stream was instantly ignited!
"Holy crap! You can do that?!"
"Is this some kind of acrobatics?! It's so cool!"
"I was completely stunned! That sense of balance, that core strength, it's simply inhuman!"
"Liu Zhenlong is awesome! This tactic is so imaginative!"
"Hahaha, Liu Zhenlong is telling Brother Yiqiang: Come on up if you dare!"
"This is going to be tough for Brother Yi, he's never tried this angle before."
"Are you kidding me? It's the same no matter where you stand, you'll still get stabbed."
"You might find it uncomfortable if the angle is wrong?"
……
In the boys' dormitory of Tiantai City.
Bai Mujie looked at Liu Zhenlong standing on top of the stick on the light screen and sighed inwardly.
Liu Zhenlong, whom I can't even look up to, is currently ranked low.
And the real mastermind is his own brother-in-law?!
A strange emotion welled up inside me.
Then he typed a comment in the live stream: "What Liu Zhenlong? He's not even worth one shot from Brother One-Shot!"
On the field, Lin Qiye looked at Liu Zhenlong, who was high above him, without the slightest ripple on his face.
He didn't even have the thought of rushing forward.
Standing so high up provides a better view, but it also makes you a stationary, live target.
At this angle and height, thrusting with a long spear is indeed a bit uncomfortable.
but……
Who says that pikemen only know how to stab people with their spears?
Lin Qiye's right hand shot out behind him like lightning!
In the next instant, a short javelin gleaming with a cold light appeared in his hand!
"Holy crap?! What is he going to do?!"
"javelin?!"
In the live broadcast studio, the male commentator was stunned when he saw this scene and instinctively exclaimed in surprise.
The female commentator beside him speculated uncertainly, "Could it be... that Lin Qiye is trying to harass and force Liu Zhenlong to come down by throwing a javelin?"
"That's impossible!" The male commentator immediately shook his head in denial. "Javelin throwing demands extremely high levels of arm strength, core strength, and accuracy! Moreover, Liu Zhenlong's position was a full three meters above the ground, and he was on top of a constantly swaying stick. To hit the target would be an impossible task! This is a complete waste of energy..."
However, before he could finish speaking...
Lin Qiye moved.
Take a running start and build up your momentum.
With a simple side turn, he suddenly flicked his wrist!
"call out--!"
The alloy javelin seemed to come alive, transforming into a silver lightning bolt that tore through the air, shooting straight at Liu Zhenlong at the top of the stick with an incredible speed and angle, accompanied by a sharp whooshing sound!
Liu Zhenlong, standing atop the stick, suddenly narrowed his pupils!
So fast!
Liu Zhenlong was shocked!
He never expected that the other party would attack in this way!
This doesn't match the intelligence from the first phase!
