This Martial Saint's Health Bar is Too Thick!-Chapter 446 - 8 The Chief’s Pact, Murmurs in Dreams

Chapter 446 -8 The Chief’s Pact, Murmurs in Dreams

“You’ve lost.”

Li Fei held the swords in both hands, suspending the blade above Meng Tao’s head.

Meng Tao, with a look of disbelief on his face, only reacted after Li Fei retracted the sword,

“Illusion?”

He didn’t believe Li Fei could remain completely unharmed after the move he had just used; the only explanation he could think of was that he had struck only an illusion.

Li Fei nodded.

From the beginning, he had exerted his enhanced Vajra Force to bear all the damage and charged forward, giving Meng Tao the impression he was recklessly attacking.

Then, just before closing in on him, anticipating a powerful attack from Meng Tao through his “Danger Perception,” he immediately employed his newly triggered Core Level Extraordinary Ability—Ghostly Shadow.

In that instant, Li Fei had executed “Human Shadow Separation”: he controlled his Shadow Clone to continue charging forward, while his true body stayed in the original spot.

The Shadow Clone contained his Mind Power, Qi-Blood, and Force. Meng Tao, lacking a Perception Core Level Extraordinary Ability, found it difficult to discern the real from the fake.

However, suddenly having an extra “person,” Meng Tao couldn’t possibly have failed to notice, so while Li Fei was employing “Ghostly Shadow,” he also utilized the Vajra Seal·Treasure Vase to converge all his Qi emanating from his true body.

Handling a Core Level Extraordinary Ability and the Vajra Seal, a top-tier Martial Art, simultaneously was immensely difficult. Only with the training from Shi Caiming and having reached the Divine Transformation Stage with [Illusion Leaf], which further enhanced his Mind Power, could he accomplish this.

The Shadow Clone continued forward, the true body remained in place concealing its Qi, combined with the misconception Li Fei intentionally caused; this led Meng Tao to misjudge in that instant, decisively releasing his Tao Power.

The Martial Arts Masters and Grandmasters present naturally understood all this, many finding it somewhat amusing.

Laughing at Nolan Zhi’s plotted scheme that came to naught.

Even Li Fei himself hadn’t expected that a mere ‘basic attack’ would fool a ‘major move’…

He had thought Meng Tao was simply launching a common attack and was prepared to exchange another dozen rounds; unexpectedly, his opponent launched a major one, then briefly fell into a ‘weakened phase’. Naturally, he wouldn’t miss this opportunity, achieving victory with a single move.

“So that’s how it is…”

Meng Tao laughed at himself deprecatingly and conceded with a bow, “You’ve won.”

Then, he turned and walked back with a dejected expression.

Had he not had a sect mission tasked to him, determined to defeat Li Fei at the fastest speed, he might not have lost so quickly.

But the fact that Li Fei could perform the Shadow Clone ability, and completely conceal his true body from detection,

Based solely on this, he knew even if the fight continued, he most likely wouldn’t be Li Fei’s match.

Similarly, the Core Level Extraordinary Abilities triggered by Implants varied from person to person, as the Core Level Extraordinary Ability resulted from the deep integration of the Implant and the human body, relating to factors such as one’s constitution, cultivation, force, and Mind Power.

Thus, although Nolan Zhi already knew that Li Fei had acquired [Ghostly Foot], he couldn’t have predicted what Core Level Extraordinary Ability Li Fei would trigger.

“Truly thrilling!”

Chi Xu, who had met Li Fei previously and was in no way inclined to cut Hongyi University any slack, clapped robustly, praising loudly.

Although Li Fei’s victory seemed coincidental, that instant clash contained much:

Psychological misdirection, skillful control, timing, and tactical application.

Even in the eyes of a Martial Arts Master, it would appear thrilling, especially considering it was from someone as young as Li Fei.

“Very well, indeed thrilling!”

From the main table, Crown Prince started clapping.

He led the applause, and others followed suit.

Only Nolan Zhi’s expression was grim.

Crown Prince stood with a smile, stepped out from behind the main table, followed by two eunuchs; one of them held an Elixir and the other a wooden box.

“You are indeed a rare talent; these are all yours.”

Crown Prince approached Li Fei, took the Elixir and the wooden box from the two eunuchs’ hands, and personally handed them to Li Fei.

“Many thanks, Your Highness.”

Li Fei received the two items and bowed to the Crown Prince.

“Well done, for this session of the Martial Arts Exchange Contest, I am optimistic about you winning the championship!”

Crown Prince, not minding formalities, affectionately patted Li Fei’s arm, saying cheerfully.

This statement left the crowd with odd expressions.

If it was just a contest among the thirteen universities, given the strength Li Fei displayed today, he indeed stood a good chance of winning.

But this exchange contest included the participation of the Taoist Three Sects.

Although the contest’s rule was that all university students and sect disciples be under 25 years of age, even so, the disciples from the Taoist Three Sects under 25 were exceptionally talented!

The first contest saw the top three places taken by sect disciples, with only two university students making it to the top eight:

One from Wuda, Wang Fengqing.

One talented student from Moyun University, who was over the age of 25 this year and thus could no longer participate.

This year, not only the Taoist Three Sects were participating but also Pudu Temple; this was a millennium old sect!

Getting their first opportunity to publicly appear before the world, Pudu Temple would certainly send their ‘strongest lineup’.

In such a situation, for the Crown Prince to publicly express his optimism for Li Fei winning the championship?

No matter how historical the first may be, after all, only 18 years old.

“Thank you, Your Highness.”

Li Fei once again bowed calmly.

The Crown Prince, in fact, was already over thirty years old, but well-maintained and looked much younger.

The more he looked at the young man before him, the more he liked him.

He had seen many arrogant and prominent youths, although he could tolerate these young individials’ various tempers, it was rare to see someone like Li Fei, who was humble, low-key, and righteous; the more he saw, the more he liked:
