This Martial Saint's Health Bar is Too Thick!-Chapter 216 - 12 Genius is Just the Threshold to Meet Me (Large - )_4
His Arena Points were 33, Li Fei needed at least 23 points to duel with him.
Li Fei had already won fifteen consecutive matches, earning 15 points; he needed at least another eight consecutive victories.
"He'll keep fighting. You go sign up now."
Duanmu Weicai said.
"Yes."
Despite his reluctance, Duanmu Rong rose and left.
Over the next half-hour, Li Fei defeated nine more opponents, bringing his streak to 24 victories!
He was just one win away from tying Wang Fengqing's record of consecutive victories, and unlike Wang Fengqing's intermittent matches over nearly a month, Li Fei's streak was continuous.
Therefore, the record Li Fei was about to set was worth more than Wang Fengqing's!
"Do you want to continue?"
Zheng, the supervisor, asked as usual.
Li Fei nodded.
Up to that point, he had used Overlord Body over thirty times, and given his displayed cultivation of the Body Breaking Late Stage, he could use it maybe a dozen more times at most.
Li Fei planned to use these 'last' dozen instances of Overlord Body to break Wang Fengqing's record and then push it even further!
He stood silently waiting for his next opponent. When this person entered the arena, gasps arose from the stands.
Then came a wave of murmurs.
The entrant was Duanmu Rong.
As the seventh-ranked combatant, he naturally had some fame in this arena.
Actually, Duanmu Rong did not want to fight Li Fei at this time, as he feared being accused of kicking an opponent when they were down.
Victory wasn't honorable, and defeat was even more embarrassing.
Sadly, he had no authority to decide for himself and had to comply with Duanmu Weicai's request to step into the arena to test his skills against Li Fei.
"Zhi Ge Department, third-year student, Duanmu Rong."
Holding a longsword, Duanmu Rong bowed to Li Fei.
"Senior, please."
Although Li Fei did not know Duanmu Rong was a top-ranked martial artist, the pressure from the other side was stronger than all his previous opponents, which made him take the duel more seriously.

"Begin."
As Zheng's words fell, Duanmu Rong left an afterimage in his place, charging at Li Fei with incredible speed!
Whoosh—
In an instant, a strong wind erupted, powerful enough to blow an adult away!
Duanmu Rong's Implant was the Mutant Attribute Wind Feet, one of his Extraordinary Abilities that could create gales.
Besides, Wind Feet gave him a far greater speed than ordinary people.
Relying on Danger Perception, Li Fei blocked Duanmu Rong's thrust in advance.
Duanmu Rong, missing his strike, immediately changed direction and stabbed at Li Fei from the side, repeating the process.
Every time he thrust his sword it was with the wind, while Li Fei had to block against it; without Danger Perception, he wouldn't have been able to fend off Duanmu Rong's sword in time.
Duanmu Rong's speed became faster, and the wind he generated also grew stronger.
In the arena, more than a dozen afterimages surrounded Li Fei, as if he were being attacked by multiple Duanmu Rongs at once!
Wind Feet's second extraordinary ability was 'Sustaining Wind,' which increased Duanmu Rong's speed over time and allowed him to create stronger wind forces.
There was, of course, a limit to 'Sustaining Wind,' but before it reached its limit, Li Fei had been forced to use Overlord Body, countering Duanmu Rong's strikes with his formidable defensive power.
Each activation of Wind Feet's extraordinary ability came with a delay, but after three years of learning and honing in Wuda, Duanmu Rong could now perform Qi Exchange in the blink of an eye, leaving almost no chance to exploit his 'vulnerable periods.'
In contrast, Li Fei, if he generated Geng Metal True Qi within his body, could maintain Overlord Body indefinitely, but that would reveal his realm. Therefore, he needed to 'exchange Qi' every dozen seconds or so, ending the Overlord Body state.
However, with the current trend, once he ended Overlord Body, he would be immediately wounded by Duanmu Rong.
Having observed so many of Li Fei's bouts, Duanmu Rong had figured out Li Fei's pattern and estimated that in just two or three seconds, Li Fei's Overlord Body would end.
Then, he would decide the outcome in one fell swoop!
Since winning wouldn't be glorious, he intended to win as handsomely as possible.
Swoosh—
He thrust his sword at Li Fei from the side once more.
But this time, his sword wasn't blocked by the invincible Overlord Body; instead, it pierced through.
"Huh?"
Duanmu Rong was surprised.
But the next second, the soft flesh turned rock-hard again, trapping the blade of the sword that had penetrated!
This sudden turn of events was abrupt, and Duanmu Rong's reaction was quick. He forcefully tried to withdraw his sword but was slowed down, giving Li Fei the chance to grab the blade with his left hand.
With his left hand grasping the blade and his right hand wielding his sword, Li Fei slashed at Duanmu Rong!
Duanmu Rong had no choice but to drop his sword and retreat.
"Wow—"
A gasp went up from the stands.
The other students didn't expect Duanmu Rong, who had just had the upper hand, to be forced to abandon his sword in the blink of an eye.
Without his weapon, he has essentially lost this martial arts competition.
"Indeed,"
Wen Ke nodded as she watched the competition.
Beside her sat a professor, one of the three specially preparing to create a new course for Li Fei.
"Using Danger Perception to predict the opponent's attack point and setting a trap in advance, impressive. Both the in-the-moment reaction and the use of Extraordinary Ability are commendable. This young man seems to have been instructed by a famed mentor,"
the professor seated beside Wen Ke commented.
"Have you decided what you want to teach him?"
Wen Ke asked softly.
The male professor chuckled, "No rush, let's wait and see. If this young man can polish his Mind Power quickly here in the arena and make a Breakthrough soon, I can guide him in the use of Innate Qi, which is my forte."
"Mm."
Wen Ke nodded, turning her gaze back to the stage.
After losing his weapon, Duanmu Rong did not continue to struggle or waste time.
It would have appeared too undignified, so he decisively admitted defeat.
"Li Fei, victory!"
Supervisor Zheng announced.
With this, Li Fei has achieved 25 consecutive victories, equaling the record set by Wang Fengqing!
"Your mastery of 'Overlord Body' to a state of both toughness and flexibility is admirable. I concede without grievance; respect!"
Duanmu Rong approached Li Fei and saluted him with a fist.
The characteristic of 'Overlord Body' is its fierce and commanding force, but at that moment, Li Fei managed to make his skin and muscles temporarily soft before instantly reverting them back.
This level of control deeply impressed Duanmu Rong.
"I yield,"
Li Fei returned the salute to Duanmu Rong.
In fact, his strong control was connected to his practice of 'Breaking Heart Barrier'; having advanced to the Qi Change Stage through 'Breaking Heart Barrier,' his control over the [steel armor] Implant became this powerful.
Speaking of which, he had also taken advantage of a higher Realm.
"Do you wish to continue?"
After Duanmu Rong left, Supervisor Zheng still posed the question to Li Fei.
Li Fei nodded at his opponent, "I would like to continue."
Supervisor Zheng gave him a profound look, a trace of a smile dawning on his face:
"Very well."
Soon after, the twenty-sixth opponent took to the stage.
This time, the adversary wasn't a top fighter from the Combat Power ranking. In a few minutes, and using 'Overlord Body' twice, Li Fei conquered his opponent once more.
With that, the consecutive victory record at Wuda Arena was rewritten by Li Fei to 26 wins!
And he showed no signs of stopping.
In front of several hundred student and instructor witnesses, he began to forge a new legend:
27 consecutive wins, 28, 29...
The midday sunshine was brilliant, and to many, the continually victorious Li Fei was as dazzling as the sunlight itself!
It wasn't until his thirty-third opponent was defeated by Li Fei that he proactively said to Supervisor Zheng:
"That will be all for today."
Supervisor Zheng nodded at him,
"Alright, go and rest well."
"Thank you, Supervisor Zheng."
Li Fei bowed, then stepped away from the competition stage one step at a time.
It wasn't until he left the stage that an explosion of noise erupted from the stands!
33 consecutive victories! This was the new record for Wuda Arena.
And this was a record set through one continuous stint of uninterrupted combat!
It's uncertain how many years will pass before this record is broken.
Not long after Li Fei left, the Combat Power ranking on the arena walls was updated.
This list is refreshed daily, the latest update for the martial artists' Combat Power ranking.
Combat Power ranking number six—Li Fei, 33 points.
At the city gate, many gathered below, looking up at the list above.
Countless students had expended great effort without ever being able to make it onto this list, yet Li Fei had done so with ease.
Today he entered the arena.
Today he made it onto the Combat Power ranking!
