Earth's Best Gamer - Chapter 330
Chapter 330: Opportunity of Transcendence
“Rise!”
At the critical moment, bolts of lightning appeared on Ji Ye’s arm all of a sudden!
His hands became even stronger and pushed the Frost Metal Meditation Staff a little bit away.
Then, two streams of True Qi ejected from his feet, not to attack the enemy but to gently boost himself to the sky.
When he reached the highest point in the sky, Ji Ye opened his hands and transformed all the air within several meters into Dragon Aura with his True Qi, launching it at Wu Song!
It was Dragon-Subduing Strike—Dragon Flies!
“Roar… Roar…”
Not just that, the two streams of True Qi even combined and collided with the saber that Wu Song cut out!
Pew!
After the collision, the aura of the Dragon-Subduing Strike, which was famous for its power, was cut apart from the head by Wu Song’s attack, which completely separated the dragon into halves from head to toe.
He became the first of all heroes who defeated the Dragon-Subduing Strike in a head-on clash.
However, after crushing “Dragon Flies”, Wu Song had already devoted too much strength to his attack to change his move.
Ji Ye, on the other hand, had landed three meters away. He had indirectly resolved Wu Song’s first attack, which was almost unstoppable!
“Let’s attack together!”
However, the other heroes had all come back to themselves from the previous battle.
After Li Yuanba’s roar, the rods where black flames were ablaze, the Tiger Shark Saber that pierced the water, the invisible harpoon, the Radiant Gold Arrows, the Snow Spear, the Long Gold Hammers, the colorful stones, and all kinds of other attacks were launched to Ji Ye from all directions with immense power.
Even without the insight given by True Seer, he would’ve sensed that there was no space for him to escape at all.
All the attacks were as unstoppable as an avalanche.
It was definitely a life-threatening crisis even more dangerous than Wu Song’s attack!
Faced with real life-and-death pressure, Ji Ye thought quickly with his mind that had been sharpened by Stone Milk, Sweet Dew, Forest Monsters’ Wine, Five Thunder Heavenly Spirit Technique, Left and Right Inter-Fighting, and other resources.
In the next moment, he performed all the other moves of the Dragon-Subduing Strike.
Dragon in the Field, Dragon Flies, Dragon Regrets, Dragon Emerges, Dragon Rages…
When he slapped for the last time, altogether six streams of invisible Dragon Aura were launched to four directions at the same time.
It was exactly Riding Six Dragons, a move that could only be performed when one gained Flawlessness on the Dragon-Subduing Strike!
“Roar… Roar… Roar…”
The attacks from the nine warrior heroes of the Twin Dragon Island were all blocked by the roaring dragons.
Even the roiling clouds were dispersed under the blast of the Dragon Aura, and the sun was gradually revealed.
“Congratulations on your breakthrough, Master!”
“You’re indeed much stronger than the rest of us, Master!”
“You’re truly a great talent who has no equals!”
The nine heroes of the Twin Dragon Island all complimented him in surprise.
However, the battle and their adulations were obviously insincere!
As it turned out…
When the nine warrior heroes all launched their ultimate moves, Ji Ye, who had been calm all the time, suddenly opened his mouth.
“Stop!
“Thanks for the help, everybody!
“It seems that I’m mistaken.”
After dodging the Radiant Gold Arrows and the colorful stones, which couldn’t be recalled, and jumping away from Li Yuanba’s hammers, Ji Ye shook his head and chose to stop the battle.
Wu Song and Lu Zhishen had already made breakthroughs and become Extraordinary Rank-9 experts, just like himself.
While Zhao Yun and Li Yuanba were still Extraordinary Rank-8, as Transcendent heroes, they were as good at fighting as regular Extraordinary Rank-9 warriors. The other five people could also be counted as two Extraordinary Rank-9 warriors when their strength was combined.
Besides, all of the heroes had Superior or Perfect ratings. It was without saying that even a Transcendent expert could’ve hardly survived their joint attacks.
After all, it was hard for two hands to defeat eighteen hands!
Besides, just like the Extraordinary might not necessarily beat the Ordinary, the Transcendent couldn’t be better than the Extraordinary in every aspect.
“Besides, I was mistaken in the first place!”
Ji Ye, on the other hand, realized something else.
Before the battle, he had planned to make breakthroughs in the Dragon-Subduing Strike with the pressure that the heroes imposed on him.
So, he had been fighting with that technique alone.
However, there were no signs of a breakthrough at all during the battle.
He thought of two reasons. Firstly, those who made breakthroughs during battles had all been through real deadly crises, and they would’ve died without the breakthroughs. That was how they could break their limits and perform moves that they usually couldn’t!
“However, although the joint attacks of the top heroes were suffocating, it was not nearly as threatening as the battle with a real enemy, because none of the heroes really wanted to kill you.
“More importantly, I have the healing talent as my trump card, and I can hardly die!”
Ji Ye remarked in mixed feelings.
His advantage turned out to be a disadvantage at this moment.
“Secondly, it was wrong of me to purposefully fight with the Dragon-Subduing Strike alone.
“All kinds of moves, be they fist, leg or sword techniques, differ from the inner strength in that you have to apply them smartly to battles.
“After my Seven-Sided Mantis Fist became Flawless, it didn’t get any special additional features as an Ordinary technique. I even forgot that I had that technique in the battles afterward.
“However, come to think of it, I didn’t forget it at all. It’s just that the entirety of that technique has been melted into my system since it became Flawless. Although I never used the Seven-Sided Mantis Fist after that, every attack that I launched had hints of that technique…
“It’s just like when Zhang Sanfeng directed Zhang Wuji to practice Tai Ji, he asked him to forget all the specific moves in order to really grasp the technique…
“Of course, that’s just a plot in a novel, but it does make sense. A technique can’t really be ‘Flawless’ unless you can use it however you want!”
Ji Ye already had an epiphany.
During his consideration, his aura greatly changed.
His mental power, which was at the peak of Extraordinary Rank-7, somehow entered Extraordinary Rank-8!
He even vaguely evinced the vibe of Guo Jing back on the Battlefield of Providence, who retained part of his Transcendent vibe.
It was because, for the Extraordinary Rank-9 martial artists, they didn’t have to accumulate True Qi in order to become Transcendent as they did before.
While the Yin and Yang Sutra and the Dragon-Subduing Strike were slightly different, they both somewhat involved the mind and the vibe!
After an exhausting battle, although he failed to gain Flawlessness on the Dragon-Subduing Strike, there was still a silver lining.
He had sensed an opportunity of Transcendence after the new understanding.
However, it was impossible to advance into Transcendent for now, because there were only several hours to go before the test for the settlement.
The content of the test was finally to be revealed!
