Chapter 382: Something out of nothing

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

If I can't block your attack, then I'll make you block mine .

Offence is the best defence . This was the mentality of the Stabilization Constabulary and Fang Zhengzhi understood it extremely well .

However, this would not be enough to defeat Nangong Hao .

In order to maximise the effectiveness of this technique, he had to be able to attack . If he couldn't even use his techniques, how was he going to go on the offence?

Fang Zhengzhi understood this very well .

As such, he decided to modify this idea slightly .

There was only one way that a weaker person could emerge victorious . He had to make his techniques messy and unpredictable .

In a battle between two people in different leagues, the weaker one could have the best possible techniques and the stronger one could use simple techniques . However, the results would always be the same .

The crowd would praise the expert for being able to make such an ordinary technique so powerful . Some of these experts would end up as 'guru' .

Then, the expert would placate the hardworking probie . Then, he would deal the lethal blow . . .

”No matter how good your technique, I can find its weaknesses . If you really want to be an expert, you have to move past these techniques . ”

This was what the best in the business did .

They would create something out of nothing!

Of course, Fang Zhengzhi could not possibly attain such a level instantly . Ever since he left the Northern Mountain Village, he had never been lucky enough to attain greatness through a single battle .

That was something virtually impossible .

Think about it . If it was that easy to understand these concepts, then those who made battle a daily occurrence in their lives . . .

These concepts would be so overrated .

Fang Zhengzhi did not understand it immediately, but he had a feeling . He felt that he could possibly manage something along those lines .

Nangong Hao could defeat anything that he tried . Nangong Hao could render his techniques useless .

In other words . . .

He was now the probie going up against the expert .

No matter how perfect or elaborate his techniques were, he would not be able to defeat his opponent's ordinary strikes .

The Dragon Combat Plan would steal the technique!

How domineering . . .

On the surface, this looked like an impossible technique to defeat . However, upon closer inspection, there were certain rules that had to be followed .

He had to see the technique for him to be able to break it down .

When Fang Zhengzhi's Mountain Waterfall Cascade came cras.h.i.+ng down, Nangong Hao's blade would merge with the waterfall .

That way, Fang Zhengzhi's attack would be rendered useless .

However, what if there wasn't a waterfall .

This was quite the audacious and impossible idea . After all, if there was no waterfall, there was no Dao . With no Dao, where would the sword get its power?

But . . .

If one really drilled into the bedrock, one would find that it was not completely impossible .

Fang Zhengzhi's waterfall in the Mountain Waterfall Cascade was formed through Dao . It used the shape to augment the blade's offensive power .

The Dao would come from the heavens and congregate at a single point before charging towards its target . The power embedded within this technique was unfathomable .

However, other than the Dao, the technique also drew upon something else .

That was . . .

The white mist inside his pocket dimension .

Dao was shape, and the white mist was Qi . When two people had the same amount of Qi, technique was the differentiating factor . However, Qi could also augment one's technique .

As such, when Fang Zhengzhi thought about no waterfall . . .

What he meant was that he would give up his elaborate techniques . To put it plainly, he was going to give up the power of Dao and rely purely on his 'raw power' .

Ordinarily, this technique would not be successful .

This was akin to someone having to quench the thirst of 1000 refugees with only a bucket of water . They would have to ration in carefully .

After all, they had to ensure that the refugees all received water .

But . . .

What if you had hundreds of acres of water?

Would you still need to ration the water? By that time, all you hoped for was that they wouldn't kill themselves from water poisoning .

Fang Zhengzhi had a ton of white mist in his pocket dimension . Not only did the white mist fill up the entire sky within his pocket dimension, it also filled up a vast ocean .

In this world, the white mist was known as the origin of Dao .

It was possible to channel the same amount of power into each strike without using Dao . However, the physical exertion would be many times greater . In other words, Fang Zhengzhi had to put everything he had behind each strike .

By giving up the Dao and just using the raw ingredients, Fang Zhengzhi was tapping on the vast reserves of white mist in his pocket dimension .

. . .

Those who grasped more than 100 Daos were the best in their cultivation state .

That was something that had been proven all throughout history . However, few people knew why that was the case .

Fang Zhengzhi did not understand either before this . But now, Chi Guyan's words kept repeating in his head .

”What you need to do now is calm yourself down and nurture your Daos!”

At that time, Fang Zhengzhi did not know what Chi Guyan meant . But now, he seemed to understand what she was trying to say .

His advantage was not that he had a tree filled with Daos .

Those Daos had not yet taken on their final form . Before they had been properly nurtured and developed, they were just a blunt sword . But . . . his reserve of raw materials . . .

That was terrifying .

That was what he was counting on now .

At the very least, it was his only hope for the near future . Once all of his Daos were fully developed, one could only guess the limits of his power .

Fang Zhengzhi looked at Nangong Hao, who was attacking from all sides .

This time however, he was not shocked . He was not prepared to sacrifice himself to breakout of this net .

He wanted the net . . .

To break first!

”Boom!”

Fang Zhengzhi and Nangong Hao clashed and the resulting shockwave sent earth flying skyward . This was different from the previous clashes that the other candidates had witnessed .
