Dongfang Hong turned sideways, just in time to avoid Zhang Jin's slash. At the same time, the spear flexibly shifted like an arm, and in a blink of an eye, he stabbed Zhang Jin's waist with another spear.

This place is a critical point. With the power contained in Dongfang Hong's spear, it may be able to break through the protective armor and allow the sensor inside to send out a signal, directly eliminating Zhang Zhen.

However, Zhang Jing also relied on his superb body skills to avoid it cleverly. At the same time, he raised his long sword and swept it across again. The Taizi sword technique was used like flowing clouds and flowing water, trying to cover Dongfang Hong inside.

Generally, if a warrior uses a gun and is approached with a sword, it will be difficult to resist.

However, in Dongfang Hong's hands, the spear was as short and long as he wanted, and he could move left and right as he pleased, as if he had practiced the spear as if it were part of his body.

You must know that Dongfang Hong is not yet 20 years old. At this age, he can have a strength close to the seventh level of the mortal level, and he can also practice marksmanship so well. If he does not have a golden finger like Zhang Yan, he is a top genius, and he is not

The kind that lacks inheritance and resources.

Due to his superb marksmanship, Dongfang Hong blocked the continuous sword moves behind Zhang Jin.

He knew that the advantage of the spear required keeping a distance, so he tried every means to stay away from Zhang Yan when parrying.

Zhang Jin also understood the importance of distance, so how could Dongfang Hong achieve his goal easily? His feet seemed to be greased, his body was like a fish or a snake, and his sword skills were continuous, and he stuck Dongfang Hong firmly.

Soon, the two of them exchanged more than twenty moves.

At this time, just like Qin Tiandong, Dongfang Hong discovered something strange about Zhang Yu - his strength and speed not only did not decline as the fierce battle continued, but instead became stronger as he became more proficient in the use of martial arts.

After a while, seeing himself being forced to the edge of the ring, Dongfang Hong felt that he had to give it a try, otherwise he would be forced out of the ring in frustration.

Seeing a gap between Zhang Jin's attacks, he shot out his spear like a dragon and hit Zhang Jin's chest!

bass!

Zhang Zhen swung his shield diagonally, forcing Dongfang Hong's spear to deflect.

Not only that, but Zhang Yan then hooked his arm around the body of the spear and trapped it tightly in the creaking nest!

At this time, Dongfang Hong and Zhang Jing were already very close. It was difficult to use even a straight knife, let alone a spear.

However, the spear was caught by Zhang Zhen. Dongfang Hong still did not give up. Suddenly, he pointed like a sword and stabbed Zhang Zhen's throat!

In order not to affect the flexibility of the warrior's neck, the armor leaves a large gap here, enough for a person's fingers to pierce!

At the critical moment, Zhang Jing smiled.

Then, just when Dongfang Hong's fingers were only an inch away from Zhang Zhen's throat, he suddenly felt a heavy blow to his abdomen - but it was Zhang Zhen who had already kicked out the spear when he clamped it, hitting Dongfang Hong in the abdomen first.

Although Dongfang Hong relied on his strong body and calm stance to take only one step back under Zhang Yan's heavy kick, he lost the chance to counterattack again.

I saw Zhang Zhen slashing across his waist with his sword!

Click!

Dongfanghong's waist armor was directly deformed and partially broken.

This blow caused Dongfang Hong's expression to change suddenly - not only was Zhang Zhen's blow painful to him, but also because he understood that this blow must have triggered the sensor.

Sure enough, the next second the referee shouted: "Dongfang Hong suffered a critical injury to his waist. Zhang Ying wins this match!"

Now that the results of the competition have come out, Zhang Zhen will naturally not fight Dongfang Hong again. He immediately put away his sword and shield and said, "I accept."

Dongfang Hong didn't say anything, and walked directly off the ring with his hands on his waist.

He was protected by protective armor. Although he was not cut in half by Zhang Zhen's sword, his waist was also slightly injured. He had to go take medicine as soon as possible, apply medicine and have a professional doctor perform acupuncture and massage in order to recover as soon as possible.

Zhang Zhen didn't care either.

In a martial arts competition, injuries are inevitable.

···

The battle with Dongfang Hong improved Zhang Yan's combat effectiveness, but it also made him realize that seed warriors like Dongfang Hong who are expected to enter the national team are almost all stronger than ordinary sixth-grade mortals.

And if the top 100 rankings on the Internet are reliable, then the five people ranked above Dongfang Hong are probably even stronger.

If he were to fight freely in the wild, even if his opponent was slightly stronger, Zhang Yan would still be quite confident in killing him.

It's a pity that now it's an arena competition with a lot of rules and restrictions, and it's also live broadcast for the whole country to watch, making it impossible for him to use many of his methods.

'It seems that I am more certain to win the first place, so I can only continue to temper my bones.'

If we look at the effect of increasing strength, adding a little bit to improve the tempering of muscles, bones, and skin membranes has the most significant effect.

However, using the body-refining energy of drugs to temper muscles, bones, and skin membranes can easily cause qi and blood to become deficient, and the increased strength will also take time to adapt, and may even lead to a short-term decline in combat effectiveness due to lack of adaptation.

To be more specific, the improvement in tempering of muscles, bones, and skin membranes mainly increases strength, followed by speed, and thirdly reaction ability.

And in terms of strength, the increase in speed is very small, and the increase in reaction ability is even more minimal.

This will make it easier for warriors to become unadapted to the new strength, lose balance in body control, and suffer a decline in combat effectiveness.

Although using the body-building energy of the medicine to temper the bone marrow can also cause deficiency of Qi and blood, tempering the bone marrow is actually a marrow cleanse, which removes harmful substances from the human body from the source of Qi and blood and improves the physical constitution.

In addition, the tempering degree of bone marrow is increased, and although the strength improvement is not as significant as that of tendons, bones, and skin membranes, it is more comprehensive and balanced, and there will be no problem of declining combat effectiveness.

Of course, tempering bone marrow is very painful, and there will be a period of weakness after each tempering.

However, Zhang Zhen had already tempered his bone marrow three times before. Not only was the pain during the marrow cleansing reduced a lot, but the period of weakness was also shortened a lot.

Refining the bone marrow at night and resting overnight was enough for him to return to normal.

With an idea in mind, he won a few more games in the ranking match in the afternoon and won 22 games in a row. After returning to the dormitory campus in the suburbs, Zhang Zhen used his merit points to get more from the accompanying teacher who was responsible for managing various body refining drugs. Exchanged two pieces of yellow silk fleece-flower root.

Then, he used 6 yellow dots to upgrade the two yellow-threaded Polygonum multiflorum roots into green-threaded Polygonum multiflorum roots, took them to the bathroom, locked the door, and ate one piece at a time.

Now a piece of green silk Polygonum multiflorum can only provide him with three-fifths of the green energy, but in the first bone marrow refining stage, he needs to consume one-half of the green energy for one tempering.

This time he planned to increase the tempering degree of bone marrow by another ten percent (10%), so he prepared two green threads of Polygonum multiflorum...

More than half an hour later, Zhang Zhen walked out of the bathroom with a weak look on his face and walked towards the bedroom with a slight stagger.

When Feng Shengnan heard the commotion, he took the soap and prepared to go to the bathroom to take a bath. Seeing Zhang Jing's appearance, he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you? How can you make yourself weak after taking a bath?"

"You're weak." It's okay that Zhang Zhen didn't speak, but once he spoke, he seemed even more weak.

Thinking that Zhang Zhen had been in the bathroom for more than half an hour and came out like this, Feng Shengnan had some indescribable guess in his heart, and then he felt that as a good brother, he must give a warning.

"Zhang Jing, I know that you were aroused by that little demon girl Zhong Xiu today, but these days are the ranking matches. No matter how strong the evil fire is, you should hold it in. Look at you, you are doing it to yourself.

With this being the case, what should I do if my legs get weak on the stage tomorrow?"

"Fuck you." Zhang Yan cursed with an angrily smile, then held on to the door and said, "Don't worry, I'll be full of energy after just a nap."

After saying that, no matter how weird Feng Shengnan's eyes were, he locked the door, climbed into bed and fell asleep.

The next day, on the bus to Fengchao, Zhang Jin sat next to Long Feiyan, watching the videos collected by Long Feiyan.

"After yesterday's ranking competition, the top 100 rankings predicted on the Internet have changed again. As the only participating warrior with 22 consecutive victories yesterday, you were ranked third."

Long Feiyan put one arm on the back of the chair in front of her and was facing Zhang Yan diagonally as she spoke. The prominent curves made people worry that the buttons on her top would be broken.

Zhang Jing, however, was carefully watching the competition video on his tablet computer. Hearing this, he asked: "Who are the other two who have won 22 consecutive victories?"

Long Feiyan smiled and said, "Xiao Qian, Class 1, Class 1, Yanhuang sophomore, and Xu Kai, Class 1, Class 1, Dragon Soul sophomore. Just looking at the three of you, our Beidou is truly tied with Yanhuang and Dragon Soul.

But Li Motian also had a good record yesterday, winning 20 consecutive games and currently ranking fifth.

The other person in the top five is Wang Tao from the Guwu Wang Family. Therefore, among the top five, Beidou holds two exclusive positions, surpassing Yanhuang and Dragon Soul. This is the first time since the school was founded!"
