Chương 200: War God’s — Chapter 201 - Old Martial Secret Skill, Enduring Body Continuing Journey, Strange Gu

The entire audience stared in stunned disbelief. What? How did he just turn defeat into victory? What the hell just happened? Wang Xian clearly looked like he was about to lose — how did one final move suddenly reverse everything? Compared to the previous matches, this one was too short for anyone to grasp what happened, let alone react in time. You couldn't blame the audience. Bangu himself hadn't reacted in time either. Let alone everyone else. As for Wang Xian...

'This poison does absolutely nothing to me...' Wang Xian thought to himself. It was just that he'd fought three matches now, and relying solely on the Phantom Sword Art had left him somewhat fatigued. The Phantom Sword Art, especially Thousand Phantom Layers, consumed tremendous energy. Stacking hundreds of sword shadows, then finishing Chiba Ryuzaki with a single ultimate strike, wasn't easy. He was only third realm. After defeating Chiba Ryuzaki, his body was indeed a bit tired.

Unless he opened his Divine Meridians... But that would be problematic. With Divine Meridians active, he'd have to use spirit malevolence to circulate the Phantom Sword Art. The moves might not even execute smoothly. Even if they did, controlling the power would be difficult. He'd only trained for seven days. But without opening the Divine Meridians. Their effects hadn't disappeared. These poisons, once absorbed into his meridians, were immediately surrounded by spirit malevolence.

They had zero effect on the Divine Meridians whatsoever. And Bangu as an opponent wasn't weak at all. If he kept dragging things out, wearing Wang Xian down through attrition, that would place significant burden on his body. So he could only pretend to be affected. Wait until he seemed completely weakened, then let this guy go all-in with full force. In Bangu's calculations, Wang Xian at the end of his rope should only be able to use Nine-Flash Sword Trace a few more times. That way, it could be settled quickly.

It was just... Wang Xian's expression turned odd. Chi Jiuyou had definitely planned something. Where exactly was it... At that moment. Bangu stood up. His expression was grim as he looked at Wang Xian and said, word by word:"What a Secret Skill, 'Enduring Body, Continuing Journey'!"

"I never expected that with third-realm strength, you could master such a Secret Skill!"

"Impressive, truly impressive!" The words landed. Everyone suddenly understood.

"..." Wang Xian. Just then. Even the several Great Grandmasters looked at Wang Xian with surprise. On the other side, Principal Song and Grandmaster Luo were briefly stunned as well. This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.

"What is this 'Enduring Body, Continuing Journey' Secret Skill?" Below the stage, Zhou Xukun looked utterly confused.

"How come I've never heard of it?"

"I know..." Xu Rong raised her hand, looking at Wang Xian with admiration.

"This Secret Skill is extremely niche! Through high-intensity tempering of body and will, it lets you burst forth with power for a short time under various negative and weakened states!"

"It's said to be an Old Martial Arts Secret Skill."

"After mastering it, whether it's poison, burns, electric shocks, paralysis, fainting, any of these negative effects become temporarily ineffective. The warrior can continue fighting without being affected."

"But because this Secret Skill is extremely rare and difficult to train, it places incredibly high demands on willpower. You have to frequently endure all kinds of strikes. It's very painful and very hard to master."

"Only ascetic warriors can train it successfully. Very niche!"

"But it's absolutely an exceptionally powerful Secret Skill!" When Zhou Xukun heard this, damn, that awesome?

"The fact that Wang Xian could master this Secret Skill, who knows how much effort and pain he endured!" Lin Ao sighed.

"If it were me, I probably couldn't handle that kind of hardship..."

"If you could handle that hardship, you'd be up on stage fighting these grandmaster disciples too..." He Yiming laughed.

"With your privileged family background, you don't need to compete in this."

"True." Lin Ao nodded.......

"I've trained in Enduring Body, Continuing Journey before..." On the other side, Bai Xingyun sighed.

"Actually, this Secret Skill doesn't make you immune to those negative states. It makes you endure them. In other words, during the fight, Bangu's fist poison was effective against Wang Xian."

"He endured the poison, feigned weakness, then burst forth with one final strike."

"Truly terrifying!"

"A real monster. Bangu's poison should have two types. It must have been extremely painful inside his body. Yet he endured it while continuing to attack, kept a clear head to design his strategy, put on an act, and only exploded at the very end..." At this point, Bai Xingyun's scalp went numb.

"Thank goodness this junior is only first-year third realm. If he were fourth realm and participating in this year's Dragon Country Youth Martial Arts Tournament, just thinking about facing an opponent like this, even if I had 70, 000 or 80, 000 more life force than him, I wouldn't dare say I'd win for sure."

"Don't you agree, Old Chi?" Beside him, Chi Jiuyou, who'd been silent the entire time, smiled:"Hard to say. I have a feeling this little junior might be like President Yan, participating in the Martial Arts Tournament as a first-year. Even without reaching fourth realm, he could definitely achieve a decent result."

"Running into him would be perfectly normal."

"Then what's there to fear?" Bai Xingyun chuckled.

"Without fourth realm, at our current level, we can still handle this little junior with ease." Beside them, Yan Zhaoxue thought to herself: That might not necessarily be true... After all, in the Martial Arts Infinite Realm, even though you suppressed your realm at the time, you were still brutally beaten by the senior... Additionally.

"Is that Secret Skill really that painful?" Yan Zhaoxue looked at the figure on stage. As expected of the senior... Not something an ordinary person could endure. It was just...

'I must also master this Enduring Body, Continuing Journey...' Yan Zhaoxue thought with unwavering determination. The senior could master it. She couldn't fall too far behind! And along the way, she could experience what the senior felt when training in this Secret Skill... On the stage.

"This kid really has a lot of tricks up his sleeve..." Principal Song looked at Grandmaster Luo.

"Xiao Luo, are you ready to formally take him as your disciple now? Look, his sword talent is this high. In every aspect, what criticism could you possibly have?"

"As for Old Yan, I'll go talk to him."

"After all, he is currently Wang Xian's teacher in blade arts."

"Taking him as your personal disciple is still somewhat different." Grandmaster Luo remained silent. Should he really take him on?

"It's up to him..." Grandmaster Luo said calmly.

"I have a feeling he himself isn't that interested in sword arts. If he truly wants to become my disciple, I'll accept him. If he doesn't want to, we shouldn't force it." Principal Song nodded:"Let's have Wang Xian come down first..."

"Enduring Body, Continuing Journey isn't immunity. The poison in his system still needs to be neutralized..." Just as he finished speaking. Bangu walked over to Wang Xian and smiled:"Classmate, let me help you detoxify."

"The fire poison and ice gu poison in my palm strikes can't be fully neutralized in a short time."

"Your school can certainly handle it, but it definitely won't be as quick as me doing it right now." After speaking, his expression was full of righteousness. These words made many in the audience nod approvingly at this Bangu from Nanbang. At the very least, the man still had principles! In a sparring match, as long as you can win, any means are fair game. But once the match is over, proper etiquette must not be neglected. Wang Xian's expression was odd. Enduring Body, Continuing Journey...

Impressive that you even thought of that. Indeed, this Secret Skill was very powerful. As one of the few truly formidable Secret Skills in Old Martial Arts. Enduring Body, Continuing Journey didn't just temporarily let you endure various negative states without being affected. It could even let a warrior continue fighting for a period of time when utterly exhausted, with major injuries like broken bones and shattered legs, or even with a pierced heart. Truly terrifying.

It was a Secret Skill Wang Xian definitely planned to learn in the future. In the final battle of his previous life, the battle results he achieved, Enduring Body, Continuing Journey had played a part. Otherwise, after detonating his Divine Meridians in his previous life, by all logic he should have died immediately after the fight. But with this Secret Skill, it let him forcibly hold on.

It was just that once this Secret Skill was activated, the inevitable result was a drastic drop in realm, leaving only half a life! And with even the slightest misstep, he'd be done for. But this Secret Skill was indeed extremely powerful. It was just...

"Sure." Wang Xian said with a beaming smile.

"How do you plan to detoxify?" From any angle, he had no reason to refuse.

"Simple!" Bangu smiled slightly. He slowly opened his palm.

"Classmate, please take a look at this." Wang Xian fixed his eyes on it. In Bangu's hand was a tiny insect, like a baby silkworm. About the size of a fly. ➤ Next: Why Would We Need Teacher Luo to Step In? I'll Handle It!
