Tang Yulong didn’t dare to believe it. But no matter how much he didn’t believe, he still fell down.
…
Hua Kangan and Zhang Hetong were also in disbelief, and all of the examinees attempted to digest what had just transpired.
Fang Zhengzhi had just floated leisurely onto the top of Tang Yulong, then, very unfortunately, stepped onto Tang Yulong’s head.
Tang Yulong’s cries still echoed about in their minds.
"This works?"
Everybody felt that what Fang Zhengzhi did was too strange.
However, after a temporary shock, a hint of a cold smile appeared on Hua Kangan’s face. Because, Fang Zhengzhi had already leapt to the middle of the mountain cliff.
Naturally, he couldn’t return.
Hence, even though Tang Yulong was eliminated, but he still won the bet.
Just as he thought, a mysterious scene unfolded once again.
After stepping on Tang Yulong’s head, Fang Zhengzhi didn’t continue to fly forwards, and instead, very quickly returned back. Every single action seemed exactly the same as when he leapt out.
It felt as if he had jumped over, then returned back. Everything seemed as if it was played backwards in slow motion.
"Dao reversal!" Zhang Hetong was the first to cry out.
"Star Conglomerate! He… had actually reached Star Conglomerate!" When the examinees witnessed this scene, they also cried out in shock.
Because, at this moment, what Fang Zhengzhi was using was none other than the Dao Reversal of the Star Conglomerate State.
When one reaches the Star Conglomerate State, the Dao of All Creations would integrate into one’s pocket dimension, and one could create the creations they mastered anytime they wish.
Flipping over a hand, the mountain stones vanish. Turning back the hand, the mountain stones return.
Tang Yulong leapt from the cliff by borrowing the wind from all creations. However, Fang Zhengzhi leapt from the cliff using the wind he generated by himself. This wind originally belonged to his body, hence naturally, he could absorb this wind back into his pocket dimension.
And when the pocket dimension absorbed back the wind, his body could return back to its original point by following the path of the wind.
This was the Dao Reversal of the Star Conglomerate State!
…
In a lounge outside the pocket dimension, Han Changfeng, wearing a white official robe, instinctively tightened his fist.
"Indeed… Star Conglomerate!"
As to Fang Zhengzhi reaching the Star Conglomerate State, Han Changfeng wasn’t as shocked as others expected. In reality, during the rockfall matrix, Han Changfeng had already predicted this outcome.
But, he just needed further evidence to proof this.
"No wonder he was able to control the falling rocks in the rockfall matrix. If he really reached the Star Conglomerate State, there are at least ten different methods to achieve such an outcome!" An examiner suddenly understood.
"I never thought that in this combat examination, there would actually be two talents of the Star Conglomerate State!"
"I believe there’s still more!" Han Changfeng spoke again, and looked at Yan Xiu within the projection whose face was filled with calm. It was too calm, so calm that it was as if everything was only to be expected.
"Elder Han feels that Yan Xiu had also reached Star Conglomerate?"
"The Mountain and River, Heaven and Earth Fan is among the Yan Five Treasures, if Yan Xiu isn’t even able to reach Star Conglomerate, how would that person in the Yan family agree to him bringing out the Mountain and River, Heaven and Earth Fan?" Elder Han instinctively looked towards the West, his gaze filled with respect.
"Elder Han is right, three Star Conglomerates… it is really a rare occasion!"
…
Within the pocket dimension, for the first time, Hua Kangan’s expression turned extremely ugly. Thinking that a poor village boy had actually stood on the same line as himself, he felt a sense of shame.
"Star Conglomerate?! Today, I will destroy you!" Hua Kangan reached out his hand and placed it on his waist. A sword as white as jade was unsheathed from his belt.
With a light flick, a chill air emanated from the sword.
The examinees suddenly felt a rising sense of coldness, and instinctively retreated a few steps. It was very evident that Hua Kangan was about to fight with all his might.
The fight between two Star Conglomerate States?
It was indeed a rare sight!
On the other hand, Fang Zhengzhi’s expression was leisurely, but when he saw that sword on Hua Kangan’s hand, he seemed rather tempted. What a nice belt.
I heard that the robbery will be a full set, Heavens is really kind towards me...
"Die!" Hua Kangan moved. His body turned into a white line and shot towards Fang Zhengzhi. If one inspected carefully, that white line was formed by an icy mist.
Using the spray of icy mist to increase his speed, Hua Kangan evidently didn’t intend to hold back.
In a flash, he arrived in front of Fang Zhengzhi.
When elites fight, they aimed to kill in one blow.
Fang Zhengzhi looked at the rainbow tactics of Hua Kangan, then looked at the sword that stabbed towards his throat, and twitched his mouth. He didn’t like to fight directly, the biggest reason for that was that he didn’t have much experience in close combat.
After all, he was just a normal person in his past life, and didn’t have much battle experience.
In this life, even though he had trained, but he still grew up in a village, hence nobody had taught him any superior battle tactics. Everything had to be discovered by him alone.
Dragon Claw?
It seemed to not feel very suitable…
Fang Zhengzhi was rather helpless. He was full of power, but his moves weren’t cool enough.
"First, dodge. Then, punch his face…" As Fang Zhengzhi mumbled, he also moved. Then, he dodged.
And after that...
Hua Kangan felt a sharp, burning pain on his face!
"Boom!" A sound echoed, backed by a strong gust of wind, like the wild wind blowing across fallen leaves.
Hua Kangan hadn’t even understood what had just happened. All he saw was a figure flashing in front of him, then, he flew up and slammed onto the ground.
"Plop!" He fell backwards onto the ground, facing the sky.
The pain on his face caused Hua Kangan to feel like crying, but he still decided to ensure for a moment. Just as he prepared to stand up, the sword on his hand was stepped on. Then, his chest was similar stepped on by somebody and rendered immobile.
"You…" Hua Kangan couldn’t understood. They both reached the Star Conglomerate State, but why didn’t he even have the ability to retaliate in front of Fang Zhengzhi?
He wasn’t satisfied, he was enraged! He really couldn’t understand what Fang Zhengzhi had just done. He seemed to have not done anything, but the problem was that he somehow fell.
"Don’t struggle, your speed… is too slow!" Fang Zhengzhi looked at Hua Kangan, his expression filled with disdain. This direct clash was really meaningless and tactless, hence he decided to bring a quick end to the battle.
The surrounding examinees, who were preparing to see a great battle, were all completely stunned. Didn’t this end a little too fast?
Looking at Hua Kangan who was pinned onto the ground by Fang Zhengzhi’s feet, none of them were able to regain their senses. What had just happened?
Speed?! A glimmer of shock appeared on Hua Kangan’s face at this moment. He tried hard to recall the scene that just transpired. All along, he believed that his speed was very fast. But, compared to that ghostly speed that Fang Zhengzhi had just demonstrated…
He felt as powerless as a walking baby.
Was this all based on speed?!
Hua Kangan suddenly felt somewhat bitter. Ever since young, he was the only who bullied others. But now, Fang Zhengzhi seemed to have not even bothered using any moves, and instead, used speed alone to bring him to the ground.
This feeling of being bullied really felt too bitter.
"I lost! But, I don’t wish to be like Cai Yongfeng, not even knowing how I lost! I only wish to ask you one question, what… is your enlightenment state?" Hua Kangan really didn’t wish to believe that a person could be as fast as tis. Hence, he had to grit his teeth and ask the question he was most unwilling to ask.
"I don’t know either." Fang Zhengzhi spoke the truth. Nobody had ever spoken about enlightenment states with him, hence, he really didn’t know.
"You don’t know?! Alright… let me put it this way. In my pocket dimension, I have already gathered three stars. I accessed Dao through water, hence, I mastered the water star, mist star, ice star - these three forms! How… many stars do you have?"
"How many stars?" Fang Zhengzhi recalled the countless number of glowing fruits on the tree in his pocket dimension, and thought, this should be the star that Hua Kangan is referring to?
"I haven’t really counted it specifically, but it should be around one or two hundred!"
"Around one or two hundred!" Hua Kangan’s expression instantly froze. His two eyes turned round, and stared fixedly at Fang Zhengzhi. He really wanted to say.
You must be lying?!
