Chapter 43: Chapter 40 Heart Level Body Technique

"Roar!"

In the blink of an eye, ten Red-Eyed Lions bared their bloody mouths, revealing sharp fangs, and pounced fiercely.

The momentum of Tier Six burst forth, but Wang Xu remained unfazed, his nerves highly focused.

Just as the fastest Red-Eyed Lion reached him, smelling the stench from its bloody maw, Wang Xu’s body slightly trembled, and with a gentle dodging move, he sidestepped the Red-Eyed Lion.

"Spirit Level body technique?" In the Central Control Room, Lin Feng recognized Wang Xu’s evasive maneuver at a glance.

"Even if it’s a Spirit Level body technique, so what? To kill ten Red-Eyed Lions, relying solely on body technique won’t suffice." Though he said this, Lin Feng’s heart was slightly stirred.

A Spirit Level body technique isn’t rare; he also possesses it, but what’s surprising is that Wang Xu is only Tier Five.

"Ka!" After swiftly dodging, Wang Xu’s long sword drew an arc, slashing fiercely at a Red-Eyed Lion’s neck.

However, this slash seemed to cut through steel, leaving only a white mark, unable to break the Red-Eyed Lion’s skin and flesh defense.

In the Virtual Space, the strength of the Trial Taker is fixed, but the Insect Beasts have real-world strength.

"5000kg of fist power is really too little, and without using Ancient Martial Arts to exert force, how can one kill a Red-Eyed Lion with such power?" Wang Xu pondered.

5000kg is the ordinary punch power level of a Tier Five student, adequate against Tier Five Insect Beasts, but quite insufficient against Tier Six ones. Even splitting their defense is difficult, let alone killing them.

At the moment Wang Xu attacked the Red-Eyed Lion, the other Red-Eyed Lions also arrived, all baring their fangs and lunging at him. Facing the assaults coming from all directions, Wang Xu’s body kept moving, using the Spirit Level body technique to calculate the subtlest of margins and make evasive moves.

As time slowly passed, nearly ten minutes into the intense battle, Wang Xu still couldn’t find a breakthrough.

The Red-Eyed Lions couldn’t deal with his Spirit Level body technique, opting for continuous wheel assaults instead. Being virtual Insect Beasts, they had no concept of fatigue. Even after a full ten minutes, their combat power remained just as strong.

Of course, Wang Xu also benefited here.

The Virtual Space limits everyone’s power, and also fixes their spiritual power and physical strength. Wang Xu had been fighting for nearly ten minutes without feeling a trace of fatigue.

However, every trial has a time limit, and if the task is not completed within the stipulated time, it is still considered a failure.

"Never mind, since there’s no breakthrough, I’ll treat it as a body technique training session. It won’t be too late to fight again when I have enough strength in the future." Wang Xu wasn’t a stubborn person. The Black Eye Battle Group is formidable, but he doesn’t necessarily have to join it. As long as he is given enough time to hunt and devour Insect Beasts, his realm will naturally rise quickly.

Without the pressure of the trial, Wang Xu simply stopped attacking and began focusing entirely on dodging.

"Hmm? He gave up?" In the first ten minutes, Wang Xu had been dodging while seeking opportunities to attack. One had to admit, Wang Xu’s combat speed was indeed formidable, commanding Lin Feng’s slight admiration. To remain composed and seek a breakthrough amidst the onslaught of ten Tier Six Red-Eyed Lions was a quality even Lin Feng might not possess.

Yet Wang Xu suddenly ceased his attacks, only dodging without any desire to retaliate, much to Lin Feng’s disappointment.

Upon seeing this, Yan Cheng heaved a long sigh, then turned around, planning to leave the control room.

Swoosh.

Suddenly, the control room door opened. Yan Cheng glanced over, his expression changing instantly, and he spoke with a slightly respectful tone, "Leader."

Lin Feng turned around, slightly surprised, and nodded, "Leader."

The newcomer was a cold man, his black-and-white combat uniform particularly conspicuous. On his chest was an eye-shaped badge, with eye whites and pupils of opposite colors, resembling the mysterious eyes of Ancient Egypt.

Why is the Leader here?

Both Yan Cheng and Lin Feng shared the same doubt in their hearts.

"I just heard from ’Qian Li’ that a Tier Five newcomer is taking a simulated trial, whose idea was it?" The cold man’s expression was icy, and even his words carried a chill.

"Leader, it was me..." Yan Cheng stepped forward. Before he finished speaking, the cold man suddenly hit, grasping Yan Cheng’s neck and lifting him whole!

With Tier Eight strength, Yan Cheng was like a chick in front of the cold man, needing no effort, showcasing how formidable the cold man’s strength was.

"I said before, trash has no right to enter the Black Eye. Do you want me to kill you myself?"

The murderous intent was overwhelming, and the immense pressure made Lin Feng’s complexion pale slightly.

"Leader, you must know what kind of person I, Yan Cheng, am. This Tier Five student named Wang Xu is not as simple as he appears!" Despite being choked by the cold man, Yan Cheng, with Tier Eight strength, could still speak normally.

Yan Cheng’s expression was resolute; he believed in his judgment that Wang Xu couldn’t be assessed by his superficial strength alone.

The murderous intent receded like a tide, and the cold man’s hand relaxed, snorting, "Even if he seems extraordinary, you shouldn’t have violated the established iron rule."

The Black Eye Battle Group’s current standing is not unrelated to its strict iron rules.

Iron Rule One: Betrayers die!

Iron Rule Two: Abusers die!

Every member of the Black Eye Battle Group has the privilege to invite others to join as long as they pass the trial. The reason the cold man was angry today was because Yan Cheng invited a Tier Five student to join!

Tier Five, such strength might not even qualify for the top hundred battle groups. Besides indulging Yan Cheng’s personal interests, the cold man couldn’t think of any reason for inviting a Tier Five student.

"Leader, Wang Xu managed to comprehend a Spirit Level body technique at Tier Five and killed a Tier Seven Master Level expert. You must have heard the recent news about the ’Thunder Battle Group’s’ destruction; it was his doing," Yan Cheng said. "Could you, Leader, have achieved such feats at Tier Five?"

The cold man’s expression eased. It’s rare for entire groups in the top hundred to be wiped out, usually leaving one or two seeds at least. Thus, he naturally had heard about the Thunder Battle Group’s destruction.

But he did not expect that the one who wiped out the Thunder Battle Group was just a Tier Five student.

"Is this him, that Tier Five student?" The cold man walked to the screen, watching Wang Xu continuously dodge, frowning. "Red-Eyed Lion Insects? Shouldn’t the trial Insect Beasts be Tier Five Erosive Primordial Insects?"

Lin Feng stepped forward, "Leader, this is a Tier Five student. I wanted to understand him more deeply, so I arranged for Tier Six Red-Eyed Lions."

The cold man saw Lin Feng’s expression and immediately understood that Lin Feng was doubting Wang Xu’s strength and deliberately making things difficult for him, which was why he arranged for the Tier Six Red-Eyed Lion Insect.

He didn’t point it out, but shifted his gaze to the screen, watching Wang Xu’s skillful evasive maneuvers, and nodded slightly, saying, "Tier Five, Spirit Level body technique, good comprehension."

......

At this moment, Wang Xu was completely unaware that his trial was being observed by the leader of the Black Eye Battle Group, and he continued to relentlessly choose evasion.

Half an hour quickly passed by, and under the high-intensity dodging, Wang Xu’s body technique was continuously improving.

Facing the siege of ten Red-Eyed Lion Insects, the former Wang Xu could only barely evade.

But as time passed, Wang Xu’s evasive actions became more calm and unbreakable. Even if ten Red-Eyed Lion Insects attacked simultaneously from all directions, Wang Xu could avoid them with precision.

Wang Xu was fully immersed in the training of his body technique, as if the darkness that clouded his heart was pierced by a glimmer of light.

The surrounding Red-Eyed Lion Insects lost their patience completely, roaring furiously, their bodies swelling, and their momentum surging as they all burned their vital essence, entering a frenzy.

The assault accelerated once more, and when Red-Eyed Lion Insects burn their vital essence, their power skyrockets, entering a state of undying relentlessness.

"Evasion, dodging, what exactly are they for?"

While dodging the frenzied Red-Eyed Lion Insects, a sudden thought emerged in Wang Xu’s mind.

"What is body technique?"

Wang Xu’s mind was filled with more and more questions.

It was like a person looking in the mirror, initially normal, but after ten minutes, inexplicably staring at their reflection and asking, "Who is this?"

Now Wang Xu was like this. The highly concentrated dodging made Wang Xu feel as if he was seeing the reflection in the mirror and began to question himself.

At this moment, Wang Xu entered another realm; his attention was no longer on evasion but on himself.

Why dodge?

Why evade?

Wang Xu followed the glimmer of light in his heart and slowly closed his eyes, no longer focusing on where the Red-Eyed Lion Insects might attack from or how many of them would attack together. His body, as if having grown eyes, automatically dodged the attacks of the Red-Eyed Lion Insects.

"Hmm?" The three people observing in the Central Control Room noticed this situation, all showing perplexed expressions.

Why did he close his eyes?

Could it be that he is going to give up?

The cold man couldn’t understand what Wang Xu was doing, but to his surprise, Wang Xu’s body technique seemed even more formidable.

As the leader of the Black Eye Battle Group and a Tier Nine Peak expert, the cold man also comprehended the Spirit Level body technique.

However, he found Wang Xu’s body technique somewhat incomprehensible.

Suddenly——

"Haha..." A burst of hearty laughter came, and with eyes closed, Wang Xu had a joyful smile.

What does it matter to evade...

What does it matter to dodge...

"Ask the heart!"

"Where the heart leads, there is invincibility!"

Wang Xu realized it. At this moment, the darkness around Wang Xu was pushed away by the glimmer of light, and the entire world suddenly became vast.

Heart Level body technique!

Spirit Level, Heart Level, seemingly a one-tier difference, but the gap was something only Wang Xu knew, and it was practically two different concepts!

"Haha... come on, attack me as you wish!" Wang Xu’s smile did not fade as he wielded his long blade once more.

"Ka!"

"Ka!"

"Ka!"

"..."

The long blade landed on the neck of the Red-Eyed Lion Insect, leaving only a white mark each time, but before the white mark could dissipate, another slash landed, deepening the white mark...

One slash isn’t enough? How about another one?

Wang Xu didn’t need to worry about how many Red-Eyed Lion Insects would surround him simultaneously. The Heart Level body technique allowed him to dodge with fluid ease, without needing to concentrate his attention.

The long blade continuously descended, and Wang Xu, relying solely on his 5000kg fist power, repeatedly hacked away, slicing open the flesh of a Red-Eyed Lion Insect.

"Puff!" With a single slash, the head of a Red-Eyed Lion Insect was sent flying!

"Haha... continue!" After taking down the first one, Wang Xu once again attacked the second Red-Eyed Lion Insect.
