Chapter 346: Infinite Hell

Chapter 346: Infinite Hell

Microsenses?

Tang Ling had no idea what that was. He viewed this state of his in quite a simple way.

Dodging with excessive movements was actually a lot less effective. It would easily expose his weak spots during the dodging process and consume a lot of time.

Milliseconds could alter the tide of the entire fight during a true battle, let alone a whole second.

If he could master the way of dodging with the slightest movement, it would skyrocket his combat capabilities.

Before this, Tang Ling never hoped to achieve this because of the shackles on his Precise Instinct! Precise Instinct could only observe external movements and capture all the minor details to allow him to predict the enemy’s movements. For example, his enemy had to curl his fist for the Precise Instinct to determine that the enemy was punching him.

However, with the spirit visualization method, Tang Ling was able to see through the surface and his predictions would be a lot faster. When his enemy wanted to punch him, he did not have to wait for the enemy to curl his fist. He could simply observe the muscle movements in the arm to determine that.

Tang Ling was right, but when he executed it, he realized the consumption was tremendous because he could not control his body as much as he wanted to.

Why not?

Tang Ling’s eyes remained closed. From the audience’s perceptions, his movement grew smoother and quicker. The rhythm of his body was carrying a subtle beat as if he was going into the microsensing state.

However, upon a closer look, Tang Ling’s tightened muscles were shaking and his forehead was covered in tiny sweat beads. He was at his limit!

Tang Ling did not want to admit it, but he had to! He still could not perfectly master extreme dodges. There was a veil that he could not penetrate blocking his way to the state that he sought after.

If that’s the case, then…

Tang Ling twisted his wrist and the dagger held in reverse finally revealed its glare. He started his attack at his target: the wrist.

The dagger precisely slit the zombie ape’s wrist, leaving a deep cut around it.

In the next moment, Tang Ling’s dagger turned and his thumb flung it out. The dagger technique that he had learned from Lionel Agnes allowed him to send the entire dagger into the injury, precisely cutting through the seams of the bones.

He then held it tightly by the grip and twisted.

A soft yet clear bone-cracking noise came as the dagger successfully separated the bones of the forearm: the ulna and the radius. The zombie ape’s claw started to twist in a freaky way.

This was the benefit of using the spirit visualization method to see through the zombie ape’s internal structure!

How outrageous was Tang Ling’s battle consciousness? Once a new battle technique was used, he would be able to branch out into new battle techniques that matched his ability and suited the situation.

Even if Tang Ling could not enter the microsensing state, his control remained on top of everything else. Therefore, whenever he used any battle technique, it would be used to the acme of perfection.

Joint dismemberment!

This was Tang Ling’s battle style!

Then, the audience welcomed an astonishing scene that they would never forget for the rest of their lives.

The dagger seemed to have come alive in Tang Ling’s hand as every attack landed precisely on the joints of the zombie ape’s limbs.

Weak spot attack, overlaying attack, precision attack…not a single attack was wasted. Every stab, slash, pull, twist, and everything a dagger could do, Tang Ling did it and used it to perfection.

He also seemed to possess a dagger-flicking technique that confused people’s eyes. The audience was awe-struck once more because the dagger-flicking technique had high demands on the control of timing and the weapon. Mastering this technique did not mean that one could execute it fluidly, yet he was able to attack artistically with it.

As though Tang Ling was a master of the dagger, he gave the dagger life with his movements.

This was one of the reasons why Precise Instinct was considered a monster. With all the movements performed perfectly, everything was planned out carefully and executed without mistakes.

The zombie ape’s claws were dismembered.

The zombie ape’s knees were disabled.

The zombie ape’s arms were twisted.

The whole set of the art of slaughter would remind those with vast knowledge about an ancient text from the old civilization, ‘Carving Up An Ox’. It was as if Tang Ling was performing the contents of the text for the audience.

“That little bastard! He’s just scraping the surface of God’s Eye and he’s starting to show off?” Joy was lingering at Boss Huang’s lips. He made it sound like he was mocking Tang Ling, but his admiration and pride were brazen.

“Old Huang, it’s not fair.” It was not Madam Qing who had spoken this time. It was Gu Dao. He held the pork trotter in his hand and grumbled flatly, but it was also a reminder of sorts.

“This is as fair as you can get.” Boss Huang denied Gu Dao’s words but did not explain why.

The colosseum reached the second climax after Tang Long’s performance.

Other than Tang Ling’s jaw-dropping performance, many other young geniuses cleared the challenge too. The worst rating among them was S rank and there were six SSS ratings that popped up together.

Dongyang: SSS rating.

Beiqi: SSS rating.

Xifeng: SSS rating.

Nanyu: SSS rating.

Ling Yu: SSS rating.

Zheng Ge of the True Capital Seven: SSS rating.

There was no trickery involved. All the teenagers who acquired SSS ratings went through the Hell difficulty. However, compared to Tang Long’s Bloody Tower and Tang Ling’s Gray Mist Street, they were a tiny bit easier, just a tiny bit.

As expected of the genius competitions, everyone was also to get high clearing ratings even in the Hell difficulty levels.

It was just the start of the competition. After the first batch, more and more teens clearing ratings popped up. As usual, no one achieved anything lower than S rating, and upon a closer look, every one of them went through the Hell difficulty.

The Simpering Pierrot shouted excitedly with perfect timing, “Did all of you see that? The battle between geniuses is exhilarating! My dear audience, have you noticed? I’m sure some of you have. All the scenes opened in Hell Ledge today are all Hell difficulty! It’s the first time in a hundred years that Hell Ledge has decided to open up the Hell difficulty on such a big scale!

“This means that the young geniuses will still have to face hellish scenes. It is anything but easy and it will get harder as they progress! This whole challenge is a feast, and a feast will never treat its contestants badly! As you all might have heard, they will be rewarded with energy, and with more energy, they’ll grow stronger, hence their battles will be even more exhilarating!”

“We shouldn’t just anticipate their clearing rating. We should anticipate some kind of miracle!”

The Simpering Pierrot’s voice was enchanting as ever. His words were not just instigating, but his devilish charms were alluring and infectious!

The applause was thunderous while the cheers were earth-shattering.

Then, all four of the Black Shroom Zombie Ape’s limbs were completely dismembered by Tang Ling. Its giant body fell to the ground with a resounding thump.

Tang Ling picked up his longsword without any expression and swung it down, beheading the zombie ape. The head rolled away and the mushroom cap on its head withered exponentially.

At the same time, a gray mist started to appear around the withered mushroom.

However, the victory notification did not come, so Tang Ling frowned for a second before he understood what had happened.

The enemy he faced was a complex organism, so dismembering the infected Black-scaled Moss Ape was not a victory at all. He still had to eliminate the parasite, the Black Spore Silk Mushroom.

A normal physical attack would never work against the Black Spore Silk Mushroom! Therefore, Gray Mist Street was an unclear scenario to newbies as one must acquire a certain level of talent to be able to truly clear the scenario.

Otherwise, the challenger would have to face a catastrophic end! The whole street was filled with the dead bodies of the Black-scaled Moss Apes. When the tiniest spore of the Black Spore Silk Mushroom landed on the host bodies, it could raise an undead army.

“It’s reaching the end. I heard that this Gray Mist Street is designed purposely for excellencers, and not just any excellencer but genius excellencers. One must have the physical capabilities of a Purple Moon Warrior and possess outstanding spirit combat capabilities to clear it. If there’s a newbie among the young geniuses, he’ll certainly outshine the others,” said one of the higher-ups of Darkness Port in one of the VIP rooms. He seemed to have quite an understanding of Hell Ledge.

“Mm-hmm, Gray Mist Street is a little special. It’s one of the two scenes in which the highest rating is only SS+. With his current rating, even if Tang Ling withdraws now, it’s still considered an achievement. His rating is even more valuable than some scenarios with SSS ratings,” said another higher-up in the room.

“Yeah, kid, withdraw. It’s just a competition. Even if he doesn’t get SSS, his performance still surpasses many other SSS ratings,” Gu Dao said after wiping his oily mouth.

Huang Dao glared at Gu Dao with a grudge.

Damn it! My money!

Even if he understood and sympathized with the situation, Gray Mist Street was not prepared for a mere reserved Purple Moon Warrior. His heart was bleeding.

Even the mysterious copper-faced man did not express his thoughts as he sat back and watched Tang Ling stand quietly in the street.

Withdrawing was the wisest choice. Otherwise, Tang Ling would have to face a wheel battle and a bloody group fight!

Unless he could kill all the infected Black-scaled Moss Apes in the street all over again, he had no other choice.

The second round of killing was definitely not a challenge that a reserved Purple Moon Warrior could clear! While Tang Ling had faced off a Black Shroom Zombie Ape, he could not face a group of them.

His previous kill might have seemed easy, but he had to heavily rely on his Precise Instinct and spirit visualization method. Every attack had to land precisely on the weak spots!

Otherwise, if Tang Ling were to go head-to-head with the zombie ape, even with his strength of nine bulls, his strength advantage might not be enough, let alone his speed advantage. More importantly, Tang Ling’s spirit was not sufficient to support him through the second round of killing!

His spirit was the key support for his Precise Instinct and spirit visualization method!

The Simpering Pierrot also noticed the situation, so he stepped onto the stage again and explained, “Gray Mist Street is the strangest scenario in Hell Ledge. You might not have heard of it before, but it has another name called the Looping Hell! A newbie can never get an SSS rating in Gray Mist Street because the highest rating it has is only SS+!

“All of you should know that talented reserved Purple Moon Warriors are weaker in melee combat and human’s spirit has a limited amount. There are only so many people that can excel in both! This scenario was actually designed for the impossible dual occupations, and I’m talking about Purple Moon Warriors and Excellencers! These people are as rare as they can get. It’s impossible for them to appear in newbie stages…” The Simpering Pierrot was talking about all kinds of impossible, but he was actually trying to defend Tang Ling.

Tang Ling was a popular contestant after all, but getting only an SS+ rating would affect his popularity. To Darkness Port, that was bad for business.

However, Tang Ling did not seem to be giving up just yet as he did not withdraw from the scene.

Was he planning to stay to face the Infinite Hell?
