As Shen Qian stepped onto the first step, another beam of light shone down from the dark dome, and a figure gradually appeared.
The stone steps under your feet began to extend, and finally became the size of a ring suitable for the length and width.
When Shen Qian saw that the man was still stunned, he did not take advantage of the danger. He turned around and looked around. Stars were lighting up in the distant darkness, gradually turning into dense stars all over the sky.
If Shen Qian guessed correctly, each star should represent a candidate.
This is the first level of the stairs, so there are the most people.
"The second province of Northeast China, No. 3 Middle School of Qi City, Feng Kong."
At this time, a voice sounded from behind, but it was the chubby boy who finally came to his senses and rushed forward to clasp his fists.
"Southwest, Shen Qian."
Out of politeness, Shen Qian also reported his name.
"Come on!"
The boy was obviously a little nervous, his muscles all over his body were tense and he was trembling slightly.
Seeing this, Shen Qian probably judged that the other party had very little actual combat experience.
But this is normal. Although there are basic martial arts classes in high school, they only practice some fake moves. The teachers always say that only in college can you get exposed to actual combat. Only a small number of people who are unwilling to be mediocre will train in actual combat through simulators or other methods.
What Feng Kong represents is actually the average level of most ordinary students.
He smiled and said: "Brother Kong, it might hurt a little."
"What, and my surname is Feng, isn't it..."
Feng Kong was stunned at first, but before he could finish his words, he rushed straight towards him.
Feng Kong raised his hand in panic to parry, but it was full of flaws. Shen Qian's punch easily penetrated his arm and hit the opponent's Adam's apple.
There are only a few vital points in the human body. To end the battle quickly, the relatively fragile Adam's apple is a good choice.
Click!
Feng Kong didn't even make a sound before he fell to the ground.
The light beam that enveloped Feng Kong dissipated, and Feng Kong also disappeared. The stone steps under his feet changed, and a second level extended not far away.
This also means that Shen Qian has won a victory and can continue to move forward.
However, Shen Qian did not move in a hurry, but stood there thoughtfully.
The punch he just punched had already exceeded the force of 149Kg and the instantaneous speed of 100 meters in 10 seconds.
But after thinking about it, he already understood what was going on.
The explosive strength of 149Kg actually represents higher physical strength.
Calculating that a normal person's strength control degree is about 75%, the standard body now controlled by Shen Qian actually has a body strength of about 200Kg.
At this time, without the influence of vitality, Shen Qian, under the influence of the system, was able to achieve more than 87% of power control.
In other words, the actual power Shen Qian can unleash is around 170Kg.
No, that’s not right, it’s actually higher...
Because Shen Qian's own realm is much higher than that of ordinary quasi-warriors, when he uses a higher realm to control a weaker body, this in itself will bring a bonus.
At this moment, Shen Qian suddenly realized that people with high realms do not suffer.
Even if they have the same physique, they still have natural advantages.
It's just that Ma Gongzuo didn't say it directly.
Without considering skills, it means that if the opponents Shen encounters before and after are stronger, it means that the original level of that person is higher.
But so what, I am still invincible... Well, we are still invincible.
Shen Qian smiled confidently and stepped onto the second level of the stairs.
……
When Shen Qian stepped on the second stone step, before he could get familiar with the surrounding environment, a fierce wind had already hit his face.
Carrying out a sneak attack?
Shen Qian raised his eyebrows and leaned back to avoid the opponent's whip.
Shen Qian, who was almost stunned, frowned and looked at the opponent who had temporarily stopped to adjust his breath quickly. The first thing that caught his eye was a smooth and rather large body.
Female?
Why does it still look familiar...
At this time, the other party seemed to recognize Shen Qian and said in surprise: "Are you... Shen Qian from Jingcheng?"
With Shen Qian's current mental strength, photographic memory is just a basic operation. After a little search in the memory palace, Shen Qian found the scene about the other party.
"You are that sister, Cao Wen, right?"
The petite girl standing in front of Shen, with a ponytail and tight clothes, is also from the first province in the southwest. She is one of the two perverts in Mingcheng according to Gu Zifang and others, namely Cao Wen, one of the twin brothers and sisters. .
Shen Qian had met each other before in Jiutian Pavilion.
Cao Wen didn't say anything, but just stared at Shen Qian, her expression much more cautious.
Even though Shen Qian did not seem to have received an invitation from Qianxing Club, as the most famous "number one" in Jingcheng, she still would not underestimate him.
Shen Qian did not expect that more than 500,000 people would compete on the same stage, and in just the second game, he would meet an "acquaintance" from the same province. It was too much of a coincidence.
But then I thought about it, it was normal. His first battle lasted very little time, and the person who could match him in the second battle at the same time must not be a weakling.
The brothers Cao Qian and Cao Wen were even vaguely stronger than Geng Qianqiu according to Shen Qian's previous perception.
He is a strong enemy.
Phew!
Cao Wen did not speak to Shen Qian anymore. After adjusting her posture, she took a lunge and rushed towards Shen Qian like a swooping cheetah, launching another offensive.
The extremely fast speed even made the air make a harsh friction sound.
Sure enough...
Shen Qian's eyes flashed.
The actual strength that each person can exert is still closely related to his realm.
Exhaling loudly, Shen Qian also accelerated on the spot and rushed towards Cao Wen without any hesitation.
In all the combat experience left to him by the system so far, "he" has never taken a step back.
And unknowingly, Shen Qian's fighting style already had a trace of the system.
Bang! Bang!
Shen Qian's fist was caught by Cao Wen's arm, and Shen Qian was hit on the shoulder blade.
However, before the pain returned, the two of them had already launched the second move at an extremely fast speed.
There is no ventilation, no animal power, and no bells and whistles.
The two people, who had only mastered basic martial arts, started fighting in the most unpretentious way at a very close distance, with fists and fists.
After exchanging more than a dozen moves, the bigger Shen Qian finally suffered a secret loss in flexibility. Cao Wen caught him in the crotch unexpectedly, and then kicked Shen Qian hard in the waist who had no time to turn around. .
Bang!
Shen Qian groaned, fell far away, and rolled twice on the ground before he stopped.
Cao Wen did not rush to pursue. She knew that this was not enough to completely suppress Shen Qian. She gasped and began to adjust her state again.
Shen Qian stood up and stared at Cao Wen, his eyes full of surging fighting spirit.
Cao Wen is stronger than he thought.
Control of power equal to one's own, skilled combat skills, and calm fighting consciousness...
Gu Zifang and Ouyang Fei combined are no match for her.
Shen Qian is extremely sure of this.
Shen Qian knew very well that there was still some gap between him and his opponent just by relying on himself.
But the more this happens, the more unwilling he is to back down.
Because the gap is not so big as to be hopeless.
And as a person who has been influenced by the system, can’t I even take this step?
Shen Qian refused to accept it.
Holding his palms, Shen Qian let out a hoarse roar, and suddenly rushed out. When he was three meters away from Cao Wen, Shen Qian jumped up high, and hit Cao Wen with a powerful and heavy whip. Wen Dangtou fell.
A surprise flashed across Cao Wen's eyes, and she immediately made a parrying movement without hesitation.
It is true that the whip kick can exert maximum force, but once it cannot defeat the opponent, it will reveal fatal flaws.
This is also the reason why she immediately retreated after the sneak attack with whip legs failed at first.
When the two of them were about the same strength, Cao Wen didn't know where Shen Qian got the confidence to dare to use this move in front of her.
Bang!
Click!
Cao Wen was hit half-kneeling on the ground. She raised her head in disbelief, looking at her broken arms and half of her shoulder bones.
"You, why did your power suddenly surge..."
"Because I have enlightened."
Shen Qian stood on one leg, his face full of joy.
He defeated Cao Wen head-on with his own strength.
With his strong mental power and so much perfect combat experience, his power control should not be limited to this.
At the moment when he was feeling powerful and unwilling, Shen Qian figured this out and suddenly improved his power control, almost like an epiphany.
It was at this moment that Shen Qian experienced a little bit of genius.
Shen Qian didn't know the exact amount, but he knew that his power control must have exceeded 90%.
A slight difference makes a world of difference.
Cao Wen didn't ask any more questions, but just stared at Shen Qian's face. Before the figure disappeared, she raised her head and said the last words with a little pride, "You are no match for my brother. You are the first province in the southwest." The number one pick is still his."
Shen Qian was startled, then smiled nonchalantly and took back his foot.
He doesn't need to compare with anyone.
Because these people who are born with genius don’t know how low their starting point is.
And no one can understand what he is chasing...
The stone steps extended, and the third staircase appeared in front of Shen Qian.
According to the rules, after Cao Wen is defeated, she will stay on the second floor and wait for her next victory before going to the third floor.
……
The third floor, the fourth floor, the fifth floor...
Until he reached the tenth step, Shen Qian never encountered an opponent who could pose a strong threat to him.
Cao Wen's strength does not belong to the second level, but the two met in advance.
Standing on the stone steps of the tenth floor, Shen Qian was closing his eyes to rest and summarizing some of his previous experiences.
Five minutes have passed, but his opponent has not yet appeared.
There are two possibilities, one is that no one has been able to set foot on the tenth floor yet, the other is that those who have already set foot on the tenth floor are still fighting each other, and Shen Qian is the one who is alone.
Those who can reach the tenth floor have defeated at least nine opponents. Shen Qian’s intuition is that starting from this level, the opponents will become stronger and stronger.
At least the possibility of climbing up by luck is getting lower and lower.
There are a total of 520,000 people. If calculated according to the power of 2, the total number of battles will be between 19 and 20. This means that no one is defeated.
But there are also people on the same level who lost one game and then relied on other wins to get ahead. These people will fight more times.
Of course, this has nothing to do with Shen Qian.
Judging from the pitfalls in the physical fitness test and willpower test, Shen Qian always felt that there would be some pitfalls in the actual combat exam, but he hasn't discovered it yet.
But in short, if you want to get full points, the most basic condition must be not to lose a game. There is no doubt about this.
After about two minutes, Shen Qian suddenly opened his eyes.
As the light fell, a tall figure with exposed curves began to appear.
Female again?
This is the second woman he has met after Cao Wen.
When the two sides gradually became clear in each other's eyes, the girl who made a vigilant gesture first let out a surprised chuckle, "Shen Qian, I didn't expect to meet you."
Shen Qian also quickly recognized the other party.
This is also the candidate from the first province in the southwest, the top genius of this class in Xicheng, the one who is said to be Li Jiaqi, who comes from a family of former warriors.
Shen Qian had a deeper impression of her. After all, she was fair-skinned, beautiful, and had long legs. She had more memorable points than Cao Wen, who was average in appearance.
I didn’t expect to bump into geniuses from the same province one after another, but the circle does get smaller as you go up, so there’s nothing strange about it. It wouldn’t be surprising to meet Cao Qian again.
"Hello." Shen Qian greeted.
"Should we chat and get to know each other first, or should we start fighting directly?"
Li Jiaqi chuckled.
Shen Qian was not confused by the other party's bright smile, because he could see clearly that although Li Jiaqi kept smiling, there was always a kind of indifference in his eyes.
She didn't take Shen Qian seriously at all.
Just like the last time in Jiutian Pavilion, Li Jiaqi never paid attention to anyone in Jingcheng from beginning to end.
"Come on."
Shen Qian gave a brief reminder and took the lead.
Li Jiaqi was still laughing, until Shen Qian's fist almost touched her chest. She suddenly bent her body back at an incredible angle, and then kicked Shen Qian's abdomen hard with her calf.
Shen Qian leaned sideways and just avoided the kick, but Li Jiaqi put one hand on the ground, completed a 180-degree turn in an instant, and kicked Shen Qian in the neck even more fiercely.
Shen Qian, who had no time to dodge, could only raise his hand to block in a hurry.
Bang!
Shen Qian staggered back a few meters before he could regain his balance.
His arms were shaking uncontrollably, and this kick almost cracked Shen's front bone.
"Boring, you are much weaker than I thought."
Li Jiaqi did a somersault and stood up again, clapped her hands and said casually.
Shen Qian did not refute, but asked solemnly: "What kind of martial arts are you doing?"
Li Jiaqi's martial arts skills are very strange. They have gone beyond the scope of basic martial arts skills, but they are not martial arts skills performed with vitality. She can actually use simple fists, feet and body transformations to achieve the effect of combos, with graceful yet fierce postures.
Shen has never seen such martial arts before.
It’s both flashy and practical, and it’s hard to guard against. It’s definitely not something in a textbook.
The last time Shen Qian saw such a smooth offensive was on "himself".
It's just that the system uses a seamless combination of basic martial arts, which is essentially different from Li Jiaqi's coherent moves.
"Gu Wu, butterfly legs...haven't you seen them before?"
Li Jiaqi didn't hide it, she smiled.
Ancient martial arts?
Shen Qian guessed that this might have something to do with the other party's background. The Xianwu family had a very deep heritage. Shen Qian had already sensed this since he used Huo Ling'er's skills for free.
Huo Ling'er was from the Xianwu family, and Shen Qian later learned about it from Huang Tao.
"I'm sorry, I'm still rushing to the next floor!"
Seeing that Shen Qian didn't speak for a long time, Li Jiaqi lost her patience, stretched out her figure, and flew over like a wild goose.
Shen Qian already had a hunch that he was no match for Li Jiaqi.
The opponent's strength control and combat skills are all one level better than mine.
"Huh, I'm really unwilling..."
Shen Qian let out a sigh of relief. After all, he could only reach the tenth floor with his own strength.
Perhaps if the opponent at this level was not the top Li Jiaqi, Shen Qian could still win, but Shen Qian was satisfied. After all, he still defeated Cao Wen, who was not weak.
Li Jiaqi's offensive posture is equally graceful, like an elegant black swan, hiding beautiful murderous intent.
From passive defense at the beginning to barely resisting later, Shen Qian fell into a disadvantage at an extremely fast speed.
"Defeat all the opponents you encounter along the way."
Shen Qian stopped procrastinating. Since it was not a life-and-death crisis and there were no visible resource targets, Shen Qian could only proactively issue a hang-up command in his mind.
"The task target has been generated and the system is parsing..."
"It is predicted that many high-quality battles will occur in succession, which will greatly improve the host. In order to save storage space, the system will switch to performance mode and enable real-time idle."
"Ding! Yellow warning!"
"After this hang-up, the system energy will drop below 50%. Please ask the host to detect suitable resources as soon as possible so that the system can replenish energy. Otherwise, the system may activate self-protection mode and forcefully store energy (Note: The consequences of forced energy storage are unknown, please try to avoid )."
Shen Qian was stunned by a series of reminders that sounded in his mind.
Real-time AFK mode?
Although this is unexpected, it is acceptable. After all, the system has demonstrated different modes before, such as the perfect idle record of clearing the Kirito Formation, which has proven that it is possible for the system to take Shen Qian with him.
At this moment, Shen Qian was still quite emotional. It has been nearly four months since the system appeared. Are the two "people" finally going to fight side by side for the first time?
As for the reminder of insufficient energy in the line below, Shen Qian also kept it firmly in mind.
To this day, Shen Qian can probably think that the initial electromagnetic storm that swept through the city was caused by the system, which completely drained the instantaneous power of the four nuclear power plants in Jingcheng.
Not to mention the weather protection system, even the city protection system is paralyzed.
Looking back, Shen Qian’s memory is still fresh.
If you can find other channels to replenish energy, it is best not to let this happen again.
When Shen Qian was distracted, Li Jiaqi's always indifferent eyes showed mood swings for the first time, which was a kind of anger.
How dare you stay in a daze at this time?
Is it because my fist is not strong enough or the soles of my feet are not strong enough?
Li Jiaqi's face turned cold after taking off her disguise. After gently pushing aside Shen Qian's block with a palm, she suddenly turned her palms into claws and grabbed at Shen Qian's lower abdomen.
"Mode switching successful, the system is automatically finding the path..."
Shen Qian returned to the feeling of loading the perfect idle record. He was conscious and aware but unable to control his body. There was no illusory graininess around him. This was the real moment.
And Li Jiaqi also met Shen Qian's reopened eyes.
There was a kind of extreme indifference and depth in those eyes, and there was an inexplicable sense of strange beauty in them, which made Li Jiaqi lose her mind for a second.
But the movements in her hands did not slow down.
At this time, when Shen Qian saw the other party's action of exterminating his descendants, even though he was in the consciousness space, his spine felt a little hairy.
Of course, "Shen Qian" was not affected in any way. He turned his body slightly to one side and easily avoided Li Jiaqi's palm.
"You..."
Li Jiaqi screamed in surprise, because Shen Qian's speed suddenly increased a lot, and it was obviously impossible for him to react.
Not only that, "Shen Qian" also punched him from behind.
Although Li Jiaqi was confused, her basic reaction was still there, and she subconsciously caught Shen Qian's fist.
The severe pain made Li Jiaqi even more frightened. Not only did this person's speed increase, but his strength also suddenly increased?
What the hell!
Just when Li Jiaqi wanted to pull away and retreat, the scene that really made Li Jiaqi fall into a sluggish state appeared.
Before she could react, Shen Qian's fist suddenly turned into a claw and pinched her wrist firmly. Then Shen Qian took a step forward, leaned forward, and bent his elbows inward at the same time, fiercely moving towards her. My head hit me.
"This, this..."
Li Jiaqi’s inner shock was beyond words.
Because Shen Qian used the martial arts she had just used, and she hit a landslide!
This is one of the basic ancient martial arts, and it is also an unheralded secret of her Xianwu family. It is quite difficult. Even with the guidance of experience, it will take at least several months of hard practice to get started.
And at this moment, Shen Qian's posture was smooth, her skills were skillful, and her attacks were fierce...it was actually three points better than her own.
Where did he learn it?
How could he learn it!
Ridiculous!
Li Jiaqi's heart was screaming wildly, and in a hurry, she could only grit her teeth and put her palms on her head as a buffer.
Click!
Li Jiaqi flew several meters into the air and fell heavily to the floor.
Although she saved her "life", she paid a heavy price.
The bones in my hands were shattered, and my temples were bruised. My whole body became groggy, and I couldn't get up from the ground for a while.
"Shen Qian" only used one move to completely defeat her.
And "Shen Qian" didn't give her a chance to breathe at all, Ling Kong pounced on her again.
"Shen Qian, you, wait..."
Li Jiaqi shouted, she knew she had lost, she just wanted to find out what was going on.
However, "Shen Qian" didn't give her a chance at all. After landing, he easily broke her neck.
Shen Qian silently watched the system's cold-blooded actions, and also sympathized with Li Jiaqi.
He could see Li Jiaqi's widened eyes at the last second, full of resentment, shock, doubt and confusion about life.
Given the other party’s arrogant and arrogant character, this kind of reverse blow would probably be doubled.
Belongs to the typical "dying with eyes closed"...
I stole other people's martial arts skills and trampled on other people's souls. The system is really a wolf destroyer.
But "Shen Qian" obviously didn't have so many boring emotions, he just stood with his hands behind his hands indifferently, waiting quietly.
After the stone steps transformed into the eleventh floor, "Shen Qian" took a step forward and walked up without a moment's delay.
