Chapter Thirty-Five: Endless Worries
Murong Lie's throat was like his own elbow being sent to the gallows.
Murong Lie's throat took this hit, his head involuntarily tilted back a bit. Gaotianming saw that his attack was successful and didn't dare to delay, using his right foot as the axis, his left hand swung in a semicircle, striking Murong Lie's throat again.
"This time, the sound of 'Dong' was even louder than before, and Murong Lie's body could no longer maintain its balance, taking a step back."
Although he hit Murong Lie twice in a row, Gao Tianming's heart sank. The strength of the fourth rank was far beyond his imagination. Such dense attacks had only dispersed more than half of his internal energy, to think that last time Gao Tianming had used only two attacks to disperse Wang Ziqing's protective aura, and now he had learned the basic application of internal energy, his strength had increased by more than half, yet two attacks had only dispersed more than half.
Looking at Murong Lie, Gao Tianming's eyes suddenly became fierce. If he couldn't severely injure him this time, there wouldn't be another chance next time, so he went all out. As Gao Tianming withdrew his left fist, his right hand also formed a sword finger and directly stabbed towards Murong Lie's throat.
"High" Tianming's fingers transmitted a severe pain, but his fingers finally broke through the defense of the air, and suddenly hit Murong Lie's throat. However, due to the buffering effect of the air, the force of the hit was not as great as imagined.
"Ah!" Murong Lie couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, his throat being one of the most vulnerable parts of the human body. Having suffered such an injury from the blow, Murong Lie was unable to withstand it.
Seeing Murong Lie's momentum being broken by himself, Gao Tianming flashed out a step like lightning and made a close-up move that directly knocked Murong Lie flying out. After making this move, Gao Tianming suddenly started panting on the spot, and several consecutive moves caused Gao Tianming's breathing to become somewhat disordered.
Seeing Murong Lie 3 meters away, lying on the ground, Gao Tianming thought of going forward to abolish Murong Lie's martial arts, otherwise there would be endless troubles.
Gao Tianming had just taken a step forward when Murong Lie's right leg kicked off the ground, his hands spread wide like a large bird spreading its wings, and he slid backwards into a standing position.
Murong Lie looked at the front of Gao Tianming, his face no longer had a smile, only a hint of gloom, and said: "Heh heh, unexpectedly, it's a reversal in the dark ditch, being beaten into serious injury by someone who is only one day older than me. I remember you."
When Murong Lie stood up, Gao Tianming was startled. The excessive use of his special ability earlier had left him still dizzy, and now he felt like his head was going to explode whenever he tried to use it again. If Murong Lie were to attack him now, Gao Tianming could imagine how ugly his death would be, given the latter's incredibly fast movements.
Gao Tianming didn't dare to retreat, otherwise he would be seen through, so he slowly walked towards Murong Lie.
Watching Murong Lie walk towards him, Murong Lie's face suddenly turned crimson, "Hiss" and spat out a mouthful of blood. Murong Lie's voice was somewhat hoarse as he said: "You have guts, dare to launch a surprise attack. I'll spare your arm for now, next time I'll come back for it." After saying this, Murong Lie disappeared from Gao Tianming's line of sight in just a few steps.
Seeing Murong Lie's disappearance, Gao Tianming's heart relaxed a bit, and he wanted to sit down on the ground immediately, but he was stopped by himself. He feared that Murong Lie had not left at all, but was observing around, if he sat down, he would come out and attack him immediately.
The sky was bright and clear, so he pretended to be relaxed, walking slowly in the direction of his dormitory.
Gao Tianming's caution this time indeed played a crucial role, as Murong Lie had not left. He was now hiding behind a tree, and earlier he saw Gao Tianming's pale face, thinking that his body might have also been affected by some condition. However, he did not dare to gamble because his protective aura had just been broken by Gao Tianming. If Gao Tianming was fine and he rushed up, he might be defeated by Gao Tianming and have his martial arts disabled.
He didn't dare to take the risk, but he wasn't willing to give up either, so he hid behind a tree to observe.
Gao Tianming maintained a steady pace all the way, and finally returned to the dormitory half an hour later. As soon as he entered the dormitory door, Gaozi immediately discovered that Gao Tianming's face was pale, and hurriedly asked: "Tianming, what's wrong with you? Why does your face look so bad?"
Gao Tianming smiled and stopped Paozi and Luozigui from coming over, then climbed onto his own bed alone and said: "Don't worry about me, it's just that the wind is strong at night and I might have caught a cold. I think I'll sleep for now."
Baozi took out his own cold medicine and asked: "I have some medicine here, Tianming, do you want to take some before going to sleep?"
Gao Tianming waved his hand and directly fell onto the pillow, fainting.
Gangzi and a few others found that Gaotianming fell onto the bed all of a sudden, thinking he had fallen asleep. They didn't dare to speak loudly, and in just a few minutes everyone else also turned off their lights and went to bed.
##################
It was past 4 in the morning, and Gao Tianming woke up as usual. He sat on his bed and found that he was still wearing a tailcoat. He was stunned for a moment before realizing that he had passed out directly after returning to his dormitory yesterday.
His head still feeling a bit dizzy, Gao Tianming lay down again and entered his inner vision state, wanting to see what had happened with his abilities yesterday.
The internal energy was normal, but when Gao Tianming looked at the light ball in his mind, he found a problem. The size of the light ball had not changed, but its color had become much lighter, even lighter than before he practiced Ping Shui Jue.
"Could it be that yesterday's paranormal explosion caused the light sphere to consume too much energy, resulting in this situation?" was all Gao Tianming could think of.
No problem seeing the light ball, Ga Tianming looked at his own right hand meridian again. Last night, he used the maximum internal force that the meridian could bear to break through Murong Lie's protective aura on his right hand fingers, resulting in damage to the meridians of Ga Tianming's right hand fingers, fortunately, the damage was not too serious.
The injury to the meridian is not too serious, but the external injury to the fingers is more severe. After all, Gao Tianming has never practiced any finger-based martial arts like "One Finger Zen", so when he stabbed his finger so hard yesterday, Gao Tianming felt that his finger bones were about to break off. Even with internal energy nourishment, such an injury would take at least a week to recover from, but the school basketball game is in just three days.
In this state, it's impossible for me to participate in the first few matches of the team. Gao Tianming couldn't help but feel a wave of annoyance, looks like things haven't been going well lately.
