One of the spectators with glasses stood outside the competition area, separated by a pale blue protective shield. He carefully observed Yuan Hanshuang, his gaze lingering on her ID above her head and her petite figure. Without saying a word, he walked to the betting area outside the arena and whispered, “I bet a thousand Star Coins on SpongeBob.”

“Bro, are you kidding?” The other spectators were shocked, “That SpongeBob is only Tier 1 Low-level, going against two Tier 1 Intermediate-level opponents is just asking to be defeated. You’re not burning money like this, right?”

“No, you don’t understand.”

The glasses-wearing spectator spoke mysteriously, lowering his voice, “I often watch matches in the combat arena. Although SpongeBob is still a relatively unknown newcomer in the Talented Combat Division, she is quite famous in the regular human combat division. Despite her young age, she is fierce in fights. I didn’t expect her to suddenly move up the divisions. I had to take a good look a few times to confirm.”

“Really?” The person was half skeptical.

“Really. It’s daytime now, and there aren’t many spectators in the combat arena. Plus, the two divisions don’t interact much, so not many people come to watch. If it were in the regular division, SpongeBob’s matches would be announced in advance. People love watching her fight; it’s violent and exciting. She even beat Talented combatants before, so she has quite a few fans.”

The glasses-wearing spectator patted his shoulder. “If you trust me, bet a few hundred Star Coins to try it out. If you lose, just consider it a bit of fun. It’s not much money anyway.”

While considering the glasses-wearing person’s confident appearance, the spectator hesitated.

Watching the odds on the screen rise to 5:1, he thought for a moment and decided to bet one hundred Star Coins. “Alright.”

After all, one hundred Star Coins were just a drop in the bucket, and losing wouldn’t be a big deal.

The match on the field continued.

The Wolf Spider struggled to evade the attacks of the Wind Spirit Cat, who, with the added enhancement, reached an extreme speed, leaving him no room to counterattack, let alone deal with the support role.

For a while, the Wolf Spider was helpless.

He could only run while relying on the spider silk to resist, cursing his teammate.

“SpongeBob, do you have no conscience? Just watching your teammate get beaten up! You scum!”

“SpongeBob, are you a spy from the other side? You won’t join the team fight and expect me to 1v2?!”

Yuan Hanshuang wasn’t bothered. Let them curse all they want, it doesn’t hurt her.

Once she have figured out the attack patterns of the two opponents, she calmly moved her wrists.

The next second, Yuan Hanshuang pushed off with her back foot and shot out like an arrow.

Spirit grass rabbit user, who was paying attention to the match, exclaimed, “The other person disappeared!”

Windspirit Cat split his attention, “Where did they go?”

“I don’t know, I didn’t see… Ah!”

Mid-sentence, Spirit grass rabbit user suddenly felt a great force behind her and screamed.

In surprise, she tried to turn around but felt a pair of weak and boneless hands wrap around her neck.

Immediately, Yuan Hanfrost exerted force from her waist, lower leg, and neck at the same time, utilizing the flexibility of a child’s body, and threw Lingcaotu out of the arena.

In a team fight, the support is the first target to kill. This is common knowledge among all skilled players.

“Be careful—”

Seeing this, Wind spirit Cat’s pupils contracted, and he decisively gave up on the wolf spider and rushed towards them.

He regretted in his heart. The first half of the game went too smoothly, causing him to underestimate the support and drift further away.

Fortunately, the buffs on him were still active. Wind spirit Cat maximized his speed, used his skills, and just managed to catch Spirit grass rabbit  in mid-air, pulling her back from the edge.

He stabilized Spirit grass rabbit user, “Stand behind me. She’s fast, definitely an agility type.”

Spirit grass rabbit user, still dazed from being thrown, nodded in response.

Seeing the two opponents regrouping, Wolf Spider was both anxious and angry, “SpongeBob, what the hell are you doing? Can’t even last-hit minions?”

When Spirit grass rabbit user was thrown out by Yuan Hanshuang, she could have easily blocked Wind spirit Cat and eliminated one opponent. But she just stood there, watching as the support was saved by the enemy.

Wolf Spider was infuriated.

Yuan Hanshuang ignored her teammate’s scolding. She stood still, looking down at her own hands.

After synchronizing with her manifestation ability, her speed and strength increased dramatically, almost three times compared to before!

And this was only with her being a first-tier.

It’s hard to imagine the incredible power of those who can synchronize with higher-level manifestation abilities. The textbooks talk about moving mountains and seas with a wave of the hand, instantly annihilating nebulae with a single thought – it’s definitely not a joke.

Thinking about this, Yuan Hanshuang straightened up.

Nothing helps people adapt to the rhythm better than real combat.

After warming up, Yuan Hanshuang planned to test her newly developed skill.

“Next, on to the next experiment.”

The words spoken by Teacher Xiao Yunmeng in that class gave her a lot of inspiration.

After thinking for half a month, she found the embryonic form of her future skill from her own expertise in martial arts.

—Bajiquan.

In her previous life, Bajiquan represented the pinnacle of Chinese martial arts, standing at the top of many martial arts pyramids. It was known for its explosive and fierce movements. After martial arts was improved, its power increased several times over. Once mastered, it was a rapid advancement, dominating the martial arts arena, making its practitioners the kings of the competition.

However, the difficulty of practicing Bajiquan was just as famous as its power.

Practitioners not only needed exceptional bone structure and talent, but they also had to undergo a three-day and three-night bath with precious medicinal herbs, followed by sitting on an ice-cold bed, using pure yang internal energy to clear their meridians and thoroughly change their physical constitution before they could officially start practicing.

Because of this, there were very few martial artists who mastered Bajiquan.

Fortunately, Yuan Hanshuang was one of them.

Bajiquan was her signature move in her previous life, her pride.

But in this life, Yuan Hanshuang could never find the herbs needed for the medicinal bath, so she had to put it aside for now, feeling quite regretful about it.

But now, things were different!

If Bajiquan could successfully evolve into a manifestation skill, then Yuan Hanshuang wouldn’t need to open her meridians and forcefully change her constitution like in her previous life. She could use it directly!

If this were in her previous life, the ancient martial arts world would have been completely shaken.

And now, it was time to test whether this idea could succeed.

Yuan Hanshuang took a deep breath, focused her energy, and assumed the starting stance.

Success or failure hinged on this one move!

But just as he was halfway there, he was suddenly startled by the opponent’s sudden surge of momentum.

“What’s going on?!”

The red color in Yuan Hanshuang’s pupils became even more dazzling, as if igniting a cluster of fiery flames.

The memories deeply engraved in her soul, even if she changed her bloodline, erupted violently.

[First Form of Bajiquan (Eight Extremes Fist) – Eagle Claw Capturing Snake!]

“Ha!”

Her fist struck with great force, accompanied by a mighty thunderous momentum.

In this vast interstellar world after countless generations, ancient Chinese martial arts finally radiated brilliance.

“No, it’s not an agility type!”
