Universal Ascension: Starting with SSS-Level Talent

Chapter 43: Excellent, Wind and Cloud Terminator

The two sides clashed.

Shouts echoed continuously.

Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun were not just berserk.

After activating Kirin Blood, Nie Feng could coordinate with Bu Jingyun’s Kirin Arm, forming the Wind and Cloud Combination.

However, Li Chengfeng and Shu Fuyao were no less formidable.

A perfect match, like golden youth and jade girl, their combined swordsmanship was unparalleled.

After fifty exchanges, the outcome was still undecided.

Sword Qi, Leg Qi, and Palm Qi continuously flew across the battlefield.

The surrounding grass, trees, and stone furnaces were all shattered to pieces.

After a fierce battle, both sides were exhausted.

They pulled back, gasping for breath, trying to recover their strength and Qi.

“Cough, cough, they’re too strong!”

Shu Fuyao coughed, expressing her amazement.

While channeling Earthly Force and Wood attribute Qi to heal herself, she placed her hand on Li Chengfeng’s back, also transferring a stream of Earthly Force and Wood Qi to him.

As the Wood Qi entered his body, it felt cool and soothing, quickly alleviating the burning discomfort caused by internal injuries.

Shu Fuyao’s internal Qi was pure, with minimal side effects from mixed Qi, making her healing exceptionally effective.

Li Chengfeng’s internal injuries were quickly alleviated.

As they resumed the battle, Li Chengfeng and Shu Fuyao began launching Qi attacks.

Wind and Cloud clashed with them.

But Li Chengfeng and Shu Fuyao, both possessing dual internal energy cores, had a faster rate of Qi attacks than Wind and Cloud.

Especially Li Chengfeng, who was like a walking powerhouse.

【Sword Qi Tremor】, ——slash, slash, slash——slash, slash, slash——

Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun were at a loss, finding themselves at a disadvantage in Qi attacks.

However, their speed was very fast, making it difficult for the Qi attacks to hit them.

Wind and Cloud deliberately closed the distance.

The two sides engaged in close combat once again.

Thanks to Shu Fuyao’s healing, both Li Chengfeng and her were in excellent physical condition.

In contrast, Wind and Cloud couldn’t fight and heal at the same time.

Their poor health condition became apparent when they fought against Li Chengfeng and Shu Fuyao.

Their speed and strength noticeably slowed down.

Li Chengfeng seized the opportunity and quickly executed 【Sword Qi Tremor】.

Nie Feng was hit, feeling puzzled:

“What’s going on with this guy? In such intense close combat, he can still muster the internal Qi to unleash a powerful move.”

Clang, clang, clang!

Weapons clashed.

【Sword Qi Tremor】.

Bu Jingyun was hit.

Li Chengfeng continued to find openings, unexpectedly unleashing powerful moves.

Even with Wind and Cloud’s strong defense, they couldn’t withstand the penetrating attacks of 【Sword Qi Tremor】.

After more than thirty exchanges, Wind and Cloud’s injuries worsened, and they began to show signs of defeat.

The two sides pulled back again to catch their breath.

Even machines need to cool down, let alone humans.

After such intense combat, their bodies couldn’t take it anymore and needed a break.

Li Chengfeng and Shu Fuyao continued to rest and heal.

The gap between the two sides gradually widened, Wind and Cloud were covered in wounds, clearly beyond recovery.

A dozen or so exchanges later, the battle was over.

Bu Jingyun’s Kirin Arm fell to the ground.

Nie Feng’s “Mad Blood” was also drained due to the hundreds of cuts all over his body.

The two of them collapsed heavily at the feet of Li Chengfeng and Shu Fuyao.

It was finally over.

Li Chengfeng slumped down, his whole body aching.

Although Shu Fuyao continuously healed him, his injuries could only recover up to eighty percent at most, with the remaining twenty percent unable to heal quickly.

Shu Fuyao lay flat on the ground.

She was in worse shape than Li Chengfeng.

During the battle, she had coughed up blood twice, and when she took off her battle helmet, there were bloodstains inside.

【Ding! You have defeated the berserk Wind and Cloud in hard mode, earning the achievement: Excellent – Wind and Cloud Terminator.】

Both of them received the notification.

They looked at each other and couldn’t help but share a knowing smile.

After a fierce battle, they had earned an excellent achievement.

After recuperating for a while, they felt better and began to inventory their spoils.

There were still two treasure boxes.

Just like last time, it was individual loot.

Li Chengfeng opened the treasure box.

A wisp of golden light enveloped him.

【Money +48,000 yuan.】

The remaining items were a blue-glowing card and a crystal stone.

Normally, the Wind and Cloud Boss in hard mode would reward good-quality items.

But because it was the berserk Wind and Cloud, the rewards were enhanced.

So what he obtained were superior-quality items, higher than excellent quality.

Li Chengfeng’s blue card was a blue-lettered [Superior – Nie Feng’s Battle Boots].

The other gem was orange-red, with a faint blue light swirling around the number “10.”

It was the same type of gem that Shu Fuyao had obtained last time, a speed crystal stone.

However, this was a 10-star speed crystal stone.

It could increase the speed of Qi attacks by 100 meters per second.

This was a great item.

Li Chengfeng needed it badly.

During the battle with Wind and Cloud, he had released many Sword Qi attacks.

However, the flight speed of the Sword Qi was not fast enough, making it easy to dodge.

Less than one-tenth of the Sword Qi actually hit the target.

Ninety percent of the Sword Qi was wasted.

If he could increase the flight speed of the Sword Qi, the hit rate would naturally improve.

100 meters per second was equivalent to an increase in speed of 360 km/h.

That was almost the speed of a high-speed train.

Good-quality weapons had a gem socket.

Li Chengfeng had been saving the socket on his Jade-Breaking Sword.

At this moment, he didn’t hesitate to embed the 10-star speed crystal stone into the Jade-Breaking Sword.
