Chapter 26 The sky falls to the extreme
"The last one, Lin Jiu."
When Jiang Rang's calm voice rang out in the training ground, more than two hundred eyes turned to the simply dressed girl in the first row.
The meaning is clear: everyone is curious about the abilities of this new classmate from a military family.
Ling Jiu could feel the weight of those gazes—curious, expectant, scrutinizing—as well as Liu Yiqiu's quiet thumbs-up under the table.
She took a deep breath, which sank into her dantian and flowed through her body with the warmth unique to the Qi and Blood Realm.
Then she stood up and walked step by step to the center of the field.
To Jiang Yun's surprise, her biological mother didn't panic or even have a racing heart this time.
Her steps were steady.
The silver-gray alloy floor gleamed with a cold, hard sheen underfoot, while pale blue energy shields flowed silently across the surrounding walls.
And then there were the shrinking bubbles of emotions seen in the "Eye of the Butterfly God".
So, have all my efforts these past few days finally paid off?
He felt like he was playing a very new kind of game where you raise a mom.
Jiang Yun looked at her mother's emotional bubbles and then paused, stunned.
She actually took the initiative to calm herself down.
She forcefully suppressed all those distracting thoughts about whether she would be knocked away in a second or lose face in front of him.
At this moment, besides focusing on the battle itself, all she could think about was the instruction to protect her stomach with 'Crystal Dust'.
Even though she knew this was a virtual space and wouldn't harm the fetus.
But her maternal instincts led her to do it.
A surge of blood energy, as hard as crystal, churned within the meridians, quietly covering the lower abdomen and forming an invisible halo within the body, gradually solidifying like crystal.
Cleaning dust.
That's her most effective defensive move.
My mindset is much better than before.
Jiang Yun, who was still in her belly, couldn't help but sigh, "No wonder people always say that mothers are strong."
At the same time, Ling Jiu's real-time physical data panel popped up in front of him:
[Physical Fitness: 29]
[Qi and Blood: 1.1]
Life Level: 2.1
This is the panel for when the Blood Refining Realm begins to awaken.
These are very standard early-stage Blood Refining level 1 data. However, with the addition of Cleansing Dust, the protective strength of the abdominal area has at least tripled.
"Are you ready?"
Jiang Rang's voice came from three meters away. He stood with his hands hanging naturally at his sides, his black martial arts uniform making him look as tall and straight as a pine tree.
But through the observation of the "Butterfly God's Eye," Jiang Yun vaguely sensed that within the pitch-black bubble of her father's emotions, a wisp was trembling slightly.
Ling Jiu did not answer.
She simply nodded, and then in the next instant—
Meteorite Bone, open!
"boom!"
A dull cracking sound came from within his body, as if a giant boulder had rolled over the depths of his marrow. The numbers on his physique stat panel jumped dramatically: 29 → 61! His physique enhancement had more than doubled!
But it's not over yet.
The light shone brightly!
Her Qi and Blood value instantly soared from 1.1 to 3.0, and the air around Ling Jiu seemed to be stirred by an invisible force, emitting a faint hum.
Her leg muscles bulged and contracted beneath her martial arts uniform, and even the alloy floor beneath her feet developed faint cracks from her footsteps.
Charge forward with a sudden burst of speed!
There were no fancy starting moves; it was simply the most straightforward, brutal, and fastest straight-line charge! The speed was so fast that it left a blurry white afterimage in the eyes of ordinary students.
As the charging distance closed, her health points continued to soar!
She didn't intend to consider Jiang Rang's skills or predictions at all. Instead, she planned to use the mysterious enhancement of the "Purple Jade Embracing Mystery Skill" to catch Jiang Rang off guard with extreme power and speed!
"So fast!"
Someone in the stands gasped in surprise, seemingly unable to understand how this previously unknown truant girl could possess such talent.
Inside her belly, Jiang Yun touched the flesh wall, which was harder than a wall, and nodded. Ling Jiu's reaction was completely predicted by "Return to Emptiness Dream Performance".
Indeed, in theory, her idea was correct. Faced with an absolute difference in speed and strength, many techniques become meaningless.
But Jiang Rang was, after all, a cultivator in the Hidden Spirit Realm, and he entered the Hidden Spirit Realm through martial arts.
His wisdom, his understanding, and his perception of qi, strength, form, and technique far surpassed Ling Jiu's.
Although he didn't fully understand the complete mystery of the technique the moment Ling Jiu's skin emitted a crystal-like purple glow, her bones cracked, and her speed increased.
After all, this is a Heaven-rank cultivation technique personally compiled by the strongest human being, so its level is too high.
However, firstly, Ling Jiu had not yet cultivated to the Heavenly Rank level, and secondly, Jiang Rang's rich combat experience allowed him to instantly judge Ling Jiu's intentions.
"Trying to break the deadlock with brute force...?"
Jiang understood.
He moved. Without dodging or blocking, he took a half-step forward, raised his right hand, and spread his fingers, intending to take the full-speed charge head-on!
Has he gone mad?!
Should I avoid him?
Or is he just that confident?
A few bubbles of emotion jumped out from around Ling Jiu, but she didn't stop charging forward or change direction.
Jiang Rang's hand was already raised to his chest.
It was obvious they were preparing to take the hit head-on, and the others on stage couldn't even see their actions clearly.
But they were destined not to be the ones to collide with Earth like a comet.
Because Jiang Yun is there.
He was fed up with the feeling of being trapped in Ling Jiu's belly, even though he was already at the first level of Body Tempering and Bone Forging, and his limbs could never be fully extended.
He needs to get on the plane!
Just as Ling Jiu's fist, carrying a violent current of energy, was about to strike his palm, Jiang Yun's consciousness, like a taut bowstring, suddenly snapped open in the amniotic fluid.
[Mother and Child Connected], Deep Takeover Mode – Activated!
"Buzz..."
Ling Jiu felt as if a switch had been flipped in her mind. The feeling was strange, not like being controlled, but more like... a sudden flash of inspiration.
It was as if, at the very moment of the charge, a dormant instinct deep within my body suddenly awakened.
She seemed to suddenly know how to play, and was incredibly confident that she could play well.
Of course, Jiang Yun was actually playing in his place.
Just before the fist was about to touch Jiang Rang's palm, Jiang Yun controlled her blood and qi to instantly condense and gather from all her meridians to her calves.
Gathering strength!
The so-called Blood Refining Realm consists of three stages: the first three stages involve exchanging blood and marrow to hone internal strength; the middle three stages involve refining the five internal organs to cultivate external strength; and the last three stages involve combining internal and external cultivation to cultivate innate true qi.
Ling Jiu is at the first level of Blood Refining, in the Marrow Cleansing stage. Her greatest strength lies in the instantaneous destructive power of her internal energy after it enters the target's body.
Jiang Yun already had a plan on when to kick him out.
So his original straight-line charge trajectory was strangely deflected at the last moment.
Instead of punching his father's hand, he used the momentum of his forward movement to step forward, raising his fist a body length above his father's. Then he grabbed his father's wrist and, using his strength, flipped his body upwards into the air!
With a clean and crisp somersault, he leaped three meters into the air.
Then--
The sky is falling to the extreme!
The imagery depicts a meteorite whose core and energy are fully solidified, and whose outer shell has hardened and crystallized. After a long journey, it finally encounters an energetic planet, then accelerates rapidly, crashes through the clouds, and plunges to the earth.
The Dao Heart of the Heavenly Fate Martial Embryo was activated to its fullest extent, and he fully brought out all of his and Ling Jiu's understanding of this technique!
At this moment, I am that meteorite.
He tucked his calves in, and all the blood and energy in his body converged, compressed, and solidified wildly towards his right leg!
Jiang Rang's pupils contracted slightly.
This unexpected move was not among any of the possibilities he had anticipated.
This is a realm that ordinary cultivation methods cannot achieve. However, all kinds of cultivation methods and martial arts techniques are available in the Imperial Library's cloud. Logically speaking, with his Dao wisdom, he should be able to understand them.
Unless it is a cultivation technique personally written by a high-level being, or even tailor-made for them.
That's normal, after all, it's her.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and he instinctively retreated instantly.
But he couldn't see the speed clearly; it was the subtle enhancement of the artistic conception. Then, he saw the opponent's right leg suddenly slash down!
Like a meteor falling to earth, it crashed down squarely into the center of his chest!
