Chapter 463: Chapter 314 ’Underground City’ New Rules: Chen Ze Suffers Major Reduction, Wang Zhengyi Invincible in Slamming Stele!
"Mortal weapons are useless."
"At most, a surprise weapon can only last for an hour of fighting, maybe even less, before it needs to be scrapped."
Surprise weapons are precious.
The Sword Discussion is long.
Who would be willing to sacrifice a surprise weapon just for a short hour of glory in the arena?
Even the wealthy, who don’t care about surprise weapons, can only use one for an hour at most, perhaps even less.
Surprise weapons!
Weapons!
Can essentially be ignored.
Beside him, Chen Ze’s face was bitter.
While others lament the banning of exotic treasures, no one realizes that he, relying on "Left and Right Mutual Combat" and wielding a "Double-Handed Sword" to perform "Jade Maiden Pure Heart Swordsmanship," was once a spectacular talent, competing directly with absolute figures.
But now with the rule of ’Absolute Weapons,’ this test, the sword cannot be used, and even if used, it won’t last long, which means his "Jade Maiden Pure Heart Swordsmanship" is practically impossible to execute.
Without this sword technique!
Chen Ze, barehanded, may not be much stronger than Wang Ge.
"The original structure of our three peaks supporting each other has been broken!"
Yan Chuan also sighed.
At the Cang Mountain Sword Discussion, originally after Wang Zhengyi and Chen Ze both made breakthroughs, their team’s strength greatly increased. Especially after he brought out the ’Star Stone,’ they were unstoppable. But as the Sword Discussion entered the ’four-seven stage,’ with the mandatory implementation of the first layer’s rule—
"We!"
"Are in a precarious position!"
...
This round of weakening affected not only those contestants with third-rank treasures, but also Chen Ze from Yan Chuan’s team.
In addition, it affected more people—
"Knife Technique Absolute Ban Xianfu!"
"Swordsmanship Absolute Lu Yuru!"
These two absolute figures, after the knife and sword were banned, would see their battle power drop.
Just like during the ’cliff climbing competition’ phase, when surprise weapons were banned, Ban Xianfu’s knife technique was absolute, yet he was suppressed by Tan Dou who hadn’t reached the absolute state.
Without the knife!
Ban Xianfu was more than a little weakened.
Similarly proven—
Without the long sword, Lu Yuru could only use ’Three Great Swords’ with bare hands; even mimicking a sword with fingers greatly weakened her capability, falling out of the absolute rank.
Even Situ Fei’s strength was somewhat reduced.
In contrast, Ding Xiang, Wei Lingshan, Peng Fannian, and Jing Bao—
Ding Xiang, with body technique acclaimed as absolute, was unaffected.
Wei Lingshan’s defense was absolute, also unaffected.
Peng Fannian was skilled with a Judge’s Pen, but his truly formidable "Twelve Skills of Acupuncture," the absolute skill of ’Finger Skill’ and ’Acupoint Pointing Technique,’ weren’t greatly affected whether he used the Judge’s Pen or not.
The same went for Jing Bao. Although she often used the ’Crescent Moon Spade’ in battle, her foundation in ’Shunshi Sect’ lay in Boxing, abandoning the ’Crescent Moon Spade’ for bare hands and fists had no impact on her.
Therefore!
These four, not to mention ’Three Absolute Skills’ Situ Fei, would shine brightly in the Sword Discussion’s ’four-seven stage’ with the new rule implemented!
...
"Exotic treasures banned!"
"Weapons banned!"
"Yan Chuan Team heavily reduced!"
"The myth of invincibility! About to shatter!"
...
The first formidable opponent Yan Chuan’s team encountered after weakening was—
The Tan Dou team!
...
"Well!"
"Isn’t this Yan Chuan?"
"Where’s the Peace Token?"
"Where’s the Gravity Domain?"
"Bring it out!"
"Hit me!"
The Magic Child took the stage, full of mockery.
The Magic Child holds grudges!
Previously, he borrowed the ’Three Yin Divine Lead Extinguishing Yang Bomb’ from Ying Jifeng, intending to blow up Wang Zhengyi’s ’Peace Token’ starting from the Hai Character Arena.
However, when he got on stage, Wang Zhengyi had put away the ’Peace Token,’ and Yan Chuan deployed the ’Gravity Domain’ to pin him down. No matter how he pleaded, Yan Chuan wouldn’t relent, leaving him greatly vexed.
Afterward, Tan Dou, knowing he couldn’t break through the ’Gravity Domain,’ didn’t waste a word and simply stepped down.
But this matter wasn’t going to be forgotten so easily.
Tan Dou had kept it in mind all along.
Look!
After the four-seven rule was put in place, the Magic Child immediately abandoned his arena, intent on attacking Yan Chuan.
To him!
What Arena Master!
It doesn’t matter!
It’s just for fun!
...
"’Hidden Dragon List’ twenty-fifth ’Nine-appearing Divine Sword’ Liu Zongwu!"
"’Hidden Dragon List’ fifty-third ’Five Arhats’ Murong Chong!"
"’Chufeng List’ twenty-third ’Ten Thousand Mile Cloud Chaser’ Hong Ran!"
"’Chufeng List’ ninety-ninth ’Wood Girl’ Sang Qing!"
"And, ’Hidden Dragon List’ eighth ’Magic Child’ Tan Dou!"
Wang Zhengyi looked towards Tan Dou’s team in the arena; their lineup was undeniably luxurious, but as Wang Zhengyi glanced over them, he smiled.
These five—
Liu Zongwu, "Nine-appearing Divine Sword," uses a sword!
Murong Chong, "Ten Great Sticks," uses a stick!
Hong Ran, "Chasing Cloud Sword," uses a sword!
Sang Qing, "Thirty Sword and Spear," uses a spear!
Tan Dou, "Heavenly Gang Swordsmanship," uses a sword!
Although all five are on the "Human List," they all excel in weapon-based martial arts.
Now!
Without the sword!
Without the stick!
Without the spear!
These five’s strengths must also be weakened to various degrees.
Conversely, Wang Zhengyi—
"I practice ’Shakyamuni Elephant Throwing Skill,’ and have learned the new ’Big Stone Breaking Hand’ from Old Yan, immensely powerful, and abandoning the iron spear has actually freed me from a restraint!"
"I am invincible!"
Seeing Tan Dou’s challenge, Wang Zhengyi laughed loudly and launched a forceful ’Big Stone Breaking Hand’ strike!
The battle!
Ignites!
...
"Punch through: Rest, Birth, Injury, Stop, View, Death, Shock, Open eight gates!"
"Old Wang, be careful, this is ’Eight Gates Boxing’!"
"This boxing incorporates grappling techniques and combines it with flying leg, stomp leg, side kick, stomp leg, back top leg, and other leg techniques, extremely dangerous, with immense strength."
Although Yan Chuan no longer had the ’White Horn Trumpet,’ he still had the foundation of the "Lion Roar." His voice boomed like a bell, now explaining the ’Eight Gates Boxing’ that the ’Magic Child’ Tan Dou was using.
