This Martial Saint's Health Bar is Too Thick!

Chapter 228: Chapter 17 The Way of Magic, Brand New Soul Skill

“What a profound Innate Qi, his strength has increased again!”

Li Fei was exchanging blows with Cao Yiqing in the martial arts arena, while a young man on the stands watched the two with a grave expression on his face.

The young man was named Meng Xinyuan, ranked Second on the Martial Master combat power list.

He had always been outstripped by Cao Yiqing, only able to reach the Second Rank on the combat power list during their time as martial artists, and it remained the same after advancing to the martial master stage, so he had always regarded Cao Yiqing as his biggest competitor.

When he heard that Cao Yiqing was going to compete with Li Fei, he immediately rushed to watch the battle.

Meng Xinyuan’s cultivated Innate Qi was Gui Water Yuan Qi, renowned for its profoundness and endurance. However, witnessing Cao Yiqing summon over a hundred Flame Flying Needles using his Innate Qi, he suddenly felt that even in terms of profoundness, Cao Yiqing wasn’t much weaker than him!

He simply couldn’t imagine how Cao Yiqing had managed to achieve this.

“Brother Meng, who do you think will win this match?”

A companion suddenly asked.

Meng Xinyuan watched the fight below, “Cao Yiqing’s Flame Flying Needles are incredibly tyrannical. They’re no less powerful than bullets and come with the special effect of high-temperature damage. Plus, they are area-of-effect attacks. Even with danger perception, Li Fei can’t completely dodge them. Just relying on ‘Overlord Body’ isn’t going to last long – if this keeps up, I think Li Fei will definitely lose.”

Cao Yiqing’s display of terrifying combat prowess made him feel slightly desperate. He didn’t believe that Li Fei, who had only recently broken through to the Qi Change Stage, could defeat Cao Yiqing.

At this point, Li Fei had completely fallen into a passive state, getting hit by more than twenty Flame Flying Needles, with his outer robe entirely burned away, leaving only his Third Level Protective Clothing.

Even the Third Level Protective Clothing had multiple holes, revealing charred skin beneath.

After another burst of attacks from Cao Yiqing, he estimated Li Fei wouldn’t be able to hold on much longer.

Bing Fire True Qi was masculine and tyrannical, and once it made contact, it was very difficult to remove. Having been struck by so many Flame Flying Needles, even with the ‘Overlord Body’ resistant to injury, the meridians and Implant inside Li Fei’s body must have sustained damage.

As the injuries accumulated, the Extraordinary Abilities and Innate Qi that Li Fei could mobilize would grow weaker and weaker.

And the condition Li Fei was showing seemed to indeed confirm this.

Once Cao Yiqing confirmed his speculation, he moved in close again to attack Li Fei. The iron mace in his hand collided with Li Fei’s steel knife, easily breaking Li Fei’s stance, and his other iron mace immediately struck toward Li Fei’s chest.

Snap!

The iron mace hit Li Fei’s chest heavily.

Just as Cao Yiqing thought the fight was over, Li Fei not only wasn’t knocked down by his strike, but a massive rebounding force emanated from his chest, forcing Cao Yiqing’s iron mace to fly open!

“What?”

Cao Yiqing was shocked.

Because the iron mace was unexpectedly forced open, he was wide open, presenting a flaw.

Swoosh—

The flash of a blade passed by, Cao Yiqing retreated quickly, but a cut still appeared on his chest, slicing through the Third Level Protective Clothing!

He looked at Li Fei, who was pursuing him, in surprise, unable to comprehend how the other seemed unharmed.

“The defensive power of the Overlord Body is actually this strong?!”

Cao Yiqing’s Innate Qi was also limited. After a burst of continual attacks, he was no longer capable of unleashing it like before. He could only engage in close-range combat with Li Fei, occasionally unleashing a few Flame Flying Needles.

But such attacks posed no threat to Li Fei, who had Danger Perception. He even set up ‘traps’ on purpose, deliberately withstanding Cao Yiqing’s attacks and then using the ‘Overlord Body’ to reflect the iron mace back, leading to Cao Yiqing exposing flaws, which he then exploited with counterattacks.

After dozens of exchanges, Cao Yiqing had accumulated five more cut marks!

Bing Fire True Qi was difficult to cleanse, and so was Geng Metal True Qi. As a result, Cao Yiqing’s wounds bled incessantly.

“How could this be?”

Meng Xinyuan revealed a look of astonishment in the stands, “How could his defense be so strong?”

The defensive power Li Fei demonstrated totally overturned Meng Xinyuan’s perception.

He knew that the steel armor Implant used by Li Fei was of a high Grade, a top-quality Second Grade, but this level of defense was simply unreasonable!

With Cao Yiqing’s outburst of power and the extreme yang of Bing Fire True Qi unable to break through, who else could be a match for Li Fei at the martial master stage?

On the field, the number of cuts on Cao Yiqing’s body increased until he eventually chose to concede.

There was no point in getting seriously injured over a single martial competition, which would delay his future cultivation.

Cultivation is a long-term affair, being inferior at one moment doesn’t mean being inferior forever.

So Cao Yiqing generously made a fist and palm salute to Li Fei:

“Younger martial brother Li indeed is formidable. Cao admits defeat.”

Li Fei returned the salute with a fist and palm:

“Thank you for letting me win.”

He ended up using the Myriad Blood Pearl in this martial contest.

Although he didn’t use the Blood Soul Skill, he absorbed damage using the Myriad Blood Pearl.

After defeating Cao Yiqing, Li Fei gained +5 Arena Points, but his ranking didn’t change.

Cao Yiqing, despite losing 5 points, still retained the top spot on the list.

There seemed to be no change, but the impact of their battle was enormous!

Soon, the news of Cao Yiqing’s defeat at the arena by Li Fei spread throughout Wuda.

…

That evening, several staff members came to Li Fei’s dormitory with three metal boxes.

“Student Li Fei, here are the items you need for your custom services. Please sign for them.”

The staff said to Li Fei.

“Have they finally arrived?”

Li Fei looked at the three metal boxes on the ground with some excitement.
