Chapter 138: Chapter 125: Rankings (Congratulations to Alliance Hierarch lztmty)

Pop! Pop!

Above the ruins of the city,

two figures intertwined continuously.

Fang Xing’s hands fluttered like a butterfly passing through flowers; suddenly, he reached out and caught an armor-piercing bullet.

Bang! Bang!

The rest of the bullets hit his body, making a sound like rain hitting banana leaves, and fell to the ground.

"It seems your firearms skill isn’t up to par... you can’t even make Blood-breaking Bullets,"

Fang Xing shook his head.

As a Mecha Master, Wu Lie’s power was somewhat restricted in the Virtual Space.

For instance, these weapons needed to be ’manufactured’ one by one in the Virtual Space before they could be equipped.

In the Outer World, a Mecha of this class would certainly be equipped with various enchanted bullets, such as ’Blood-breaking Bullets’, which are most effective at penetrating a Martial Artist’s defense.

He would definitely not dare to expose his body like this, as it would be easy to get riddled with holes.

Stomp!

Fang Xing stomped his foot and the air seemed to solidify into solid ground, which he used to propel himself at high speed toward Wu Lie.

The barrels on Wu Lie’s mechanical arms automatically detached, revealing a layer of Fist Armor: "Bullet Fist!"

This was a Martial Arts technique designed to complement the Mecha, wielded by a Mecha Master, it was incredibly powerful.

The sky filled with fist shadows like bullets, covering and pounding down towards Fang Xing.

Fang Xing’s eyes moved slightly, the void around him subtly fluctuated, and a Black Dragon and a White Tiger leaped out.

Dragon Roar and Tiger Roar!

— Dragon Tiger Domain!

The countless fist shadows upon entering the Domain seemed to be caught in stagnation, their speed becoming incredibly slow.

"Break Magic Field, neutralize!"

A layer of dim light flickered on Wu Lie’s armor, unleashing a strange force field.

This was the result of years of dedicated research by him, finally successfully replicated in the Virtual Space, and a Mecha Master’s trump card against Martial Artists’ Domain!

As soon as the Break Magic Field activated, Fang Xing immediately felt his Dragon Tiger Domain weakening.

But he didn’t hesitate; instead, he smiled, swinging a hand sword.

Ghost God Saber—Slay the Ghost God!

The terrifying Martial Arts Will surged like towering waves, continuously striking Wu Lie’s heart through the Mecha.

[Warning! Warning! Spiritual Defense Component damaged, damage level 23%! 25%!...]

A series of red warnings appeared, causing Wu Lie’s face to darken.

In his courses at Holy Armor University, he had always found the structure of Spiritual Defense Components tedious.

It was much more difficult than conceptualizing weapons, especially for someone with mediocre Martial Arts talent.

"If it were in the Outer World, my Mecha would be equipped with the latest model, ’Dream Machine AG32’, and the mere will of an Outer Realm Martial Artist would absolutely not breach it..."

"But... here, I can only use my own outdated versions, damn it..."

Faint sounds of Dragon Roar and Tiger Roar reached Wu Lie’s ears, and the multitude of fist shadows suddenly dissipated.

Then, a flash of a blade landed on his Mecha, causing the protective shield to activate and wear out intensely.

Bang!

With a gleam of golden light in his eyes and under the blessing of Great Vajra Wisdom Divine Power, Fang Xing smashed the energy shield with a punch, continuing unabated through Wu Lie’s face shield and directly into his head...

Boom!

The headless wreck of the Mecha fell, exploding in mid-air...

Outside the Battle Platform.

Watching this scene, Gu Jiantong sighed softly, "The face-slapping fiend indeed... looks like I better not challenge him next time."

Yin Haizhen glanced at Gu Jiantong, barely suppressing a chuckle: ’Is he sure he would lose? But losing a match is one thing, losing this miserably is quite another...’

...

Unaware of the turmoil in the Outer World, Fang Xing was checking new information.

[Ding, Fang Xing student, congratulations on your rise to the 9th place on the Battle List! Keep it up!]

"Hmm, as the ninth on the Battle List, I must accept ten matches... If there are fewer than ten challengers, will it automatically match with the system?"

Fang Xing looked and noticed, in just a moment, he had already received many challenge letters.

Since it’s all in the Virtual Space and losing wouldn’t mean death, who is he to fear?

"Eh?"

As he browsed through many names, he saw one and instantly nodded: "You’ll be the one..."

...

Tick-tock! Tick-tock!

In the bamboo forest, a drizzling rain.

A small bridge, flowing water, with a thatched cottage in the distance.

Fang Xing stood on the bridge, waiting for his first challenger.

"Gu Zhen!"

He looked toward the newcomer and saw a young man in black, with a handsome appearance and a cold demeanor, holding an oddly-shaped Ancient Sword.

The sword was completely black, and the hilt was inlaid with a crimson eyeball.

At this moment, the eyeball was restlessly darting around, bringing a faint trace of mental contamination.

"A long sword made from materials of an Evil God’s follower?"

Fang Xing nodded: "Let’s see how sharp your blade is!"

The Federation had been at war with the Outer Realm Evil Gods for many years; naturally, there were specialized studies on the Outer Realm Evil Gods.

There had even been experiments utilizing the blood, corpses, and bones of the Evil Gods and their followers.

Among them, the Nine Swords Academy had performed the best, developing a unique evolutionary path—[Sword Saint]!

To advance to Sword Saint, the basic requirement was to become a Martial Artist, then change class to [Ghost Swordman]!

[Ghost Swordman] could seal a portion of an Evil God’s power within themselves and attempt to use weapons crafted from the bodies of Evil God’s followers.

In combat, they continuously honed themselves, digesting their own Evil God’s power through bloodshed and evolving Evil Martial!

By the Peak Period, through the trials of the Nine Swords Road, they achieved the perfect digestion of an Evil God’s power as the [Sword Saint]!

Even though many [Ghost Swordmen] looked neither fully human nor ghost, appearing as a culmination of a mutant science.

In reality, a true [Sword Saint] is the purest of humans, even reverting any bodily mutations.
