Seek Battle!
Who exactly is Seek Battle?
This has become the biggest mystery in the Battle Arena. He emerged out of nowhere, reaching Level 3 Battle Star in less than seven days, and Level 4 Battle Star in less than a month. He defeated three初级战武将 consecutively, creating an astonishing record of 160 wins and 0 losses.
However...
Suddenly, he vanished.
Like a ghost, he disappeared without a trace from the Battle World.
※※※
"Do you think Seek Battle might be a ghost in the Battle World?"
"I think so. Isn't this a common plot in many穿越 novels, where the body dies but the soul remains in the virtual network?"
"Stinky River God! Don't scare us like that!"
"Then how do you explain the sudden appearance of a Level 4 Battle Star? I heard that in the past half month, Mentor Li Tong from the neighboring faculty has turned the Ancient Martial Arts Faculty upside down and hasn't found a single hair of Seek Battle!"
...
Seek Battle has been missing from the Battle Arena for nearly half a month.
Ever since he defeated three初级战武将 consecutively, Seek Battle vanished without a trace, as if he had evaporated.
Despite this, the legend of Seek Battle still lingers in the Battle Arena. A secondary account even appeared, using the name 'Seek Battle' and with the same appearance and build, but while the name and appearance can be imitated, the strength...
Is worlds apart.
...
Seek Battle has become a legend.
But Lin Feng lives in the real world.
In the past half month, Lin Feng, apart from picking up his sister at the end of the month and spending time with his mother, has not left his dormitory once, nor has he entered the Battle Arena. Apart from soaking in the gene liquid and absorbing the energy of heaven and earth on schedule, he spends the rest of his time immersed in the consciousness space.
Not to practice new martial arts, but...
Ancient martial arts.
"The first move, Evil Dragon Bind." Lin Feng's movements perfectly mirrored the figure simulated by the super brain, as if he were looking in a mirror. He continuously practiced the first four moves of the Seven Spiral Slash, with a particular focus on the first move, 'Evil Dragon Bind,' because Lin Feng believed that the blade intent of the first move would be the easiest to comprehend.
It was very hard, very tedious, and even very boring.
But Lin Feng practiced like a machine, repeatedly swinging his blade, one after another, striving for perfection, even to the tiniest detail!
Form!
Is it useful to practice ancient martial arts in the style of new martial arts?
Lin Feng didn't know.
But, how would he know if it could succeed without trying?
"Since the new martial art 'Meteor' can be converted into ancient martial arts, why can't ancient martial arts be converted into new martial arts for practice?" As Mother Ji Ruhua said, Lin Feng's heart is very determined, gentle on the outside but strong on the inside, never giving up, like the old man moving the mountain, doing something that others might see as foolish.
If other ancient martial artists saw Lin Feng practicing his blade this way, they would surely laugh their heads off.
However...
Many times, what seems impossible is only because no one has tried.
"Evil Dragon Bind!"
"Again!"
"Once more!"
...
How many times? Ten thousand times, a hundred thousand times, or even a million times?
Countless swings of the blade brought a relentless pursuit of perfection. Lin Feng clearly knew that 100% perfect 'form' would inevitably lead to the comprehension of blade intent. The so-called new martial arts are merely the condensation of blade intent into every movement, every detail, as precise as the operation of a super brain.
What is destined to come, will eventually come.
"Limitless Qi Sea." Lin Feng closed his eyes, deeply feeling the vastness like the ocean.
The Gray Wolf Battle Blade in his hand swung out, like a surging sea wave, forming a fierce and ferocious dragon that soared into the sky. In an instant, Lin Feng's eyes opened, shining brightly, and the swing of the blade shattered the entire consciousness space.
The blade move, completed!
...
Strike while the iron is hot!
Lin Feng clearly understood the current situation.
The realm of blade move intent is divided into initial understanding, proficiency, and perfection. The completion of the blade move does not mean reaching the maximum power. To be precise, Lin Feng has only just begun to understand the blade move intent. Truly mastering it will take much longer. But compared to the confusion and blindness of the past, like a blind man crossing a river, now...
The path is completely clear.
The rest is practice!
Comprehend!
Practice again, comprehend again!
※※※
The legend of Seek Battle still lingers in the Battle Arena.
But, it is gradually being forgotten.
After all, Seek Battle's disappearance has exceeded a month, and even the senior mentor Li Tong has given up in despair.
The selection tournament on April 1st is drawing near, and the Battle Arena is becoming increasingly lively. The so-called effect of strong players has led to an increase in the number of students observing and learning, with the permanent population exceeding three hundred, and reaching four hundred during peak times.
"Lost again."
"Isn't losing normal? Do you want to win against the genius from Zone S?"
"How can Jin Haochen be so strong? He has already defeated many Level 4 Battle Stars from Zone A."
...
"How many now?"
"Who knows? At least a dozen Level 4 Battle Stars have been defeated by him. With Jin Haochen's strength, he should have no problem advancing to Level 5 Battle Star."
"It seems that Jin Haochen is determined to win this college selection tournament."
...
A grand challenge.
Jin Haochen, the first person of the 101st generation of gene warriors.
He is extremely arrogant, but he has the capital to be so. Even among Level 4 Battle Stars, there are differences in strength. Jin Haochen's strength can be gauged by his record, having defeated over a dozen Level 4 Battle Stars, which speaks volumes.
...
"Are you not going to challenge him?" Guo Li asked.
"I'm not his match." Ge Yi's voice carried a hint of helplessness.
Guo Li said, "He has improved very quickly. Half a year ago, when we sparred, we were evenly matched, but now... I might even lose to him."
Ge Yi sighed, "The quality of my elemental heart is far inferior to his. As a gene warrior, my battle boots are no match for his. Most importantly... even if we set aside these external factors, in terms of mastering elemental martial arts, I have already completely lost to him. He has already mastered the first level of the 'Nickel Domain,' while my 'Potassium Kai' has yet to form."
"Elemental martial arts..." Guo Li murmured, his eyes filled with envy.
Elemental martial arts are truly the genuine 'new martial arts.' His current strength is slightly better than Ge Yi's, but if Ge Yi masters the first level of 'Potassium Kai,' he will likely be the one to lose.
"No one dares to challenge him anymore." Ge Yi's smile was bitter.
Seeing his opponent's strength far surpass his own, the feeling... is not just disappointment, but also a sense of despair.
"It's about time." Guo Li nodded.
"Right." Ge Yi responded, then suddenly asked, "By the way, Senior, have you found... Lin Feng?"
"Not yet, it's like he has vanished into thin air. Not just our Sunset Martial Hall, but the four major martial halls are all searching, almost turning the entire Sunset City upside down." Guo Li shrugged, "Although we have received many messages, it's too hard to distinguish the truth from the lies."
"Vanished into thin air?" Ge Yi was taken aback, then laughed, "Speaking of which, there's also someone who has vanished from the Battle Arena, for over a month now."
"Wasn't it something like 'Battle' something?" Guo Li pondered, "I've heard a bit about it. Hmm... What's up?"
"Look, there's another fearless challenger taking on Jin Haochen." Ge Yi smiled.
"Really?" Guo Li immediately opened the Battle Space, "Oh, a Level 4 Battle Star, what's his name... Seek Battle? Such a familiar name." His gaze turned to Ge Yi, whose eyes were wide open, as if he had been suffocated, his body petrified.
Seek Battle!
