Chapter 172: Goal
Body hardening is actually just the most intuitive manifestation of ability, but Xin Qizhe's ability is not just simple hardening.
To be precise, his ability should be physical control within a certain limit. He can change the shape of his skin, not only hardness, but also shape.
For example, a part of the hardened skin is protruded and shaped into a sharp and sharp shape, just like the sharp edges and corners of a stone.
In this way, his body is not only the strongest shield, but also transforms into a spear of attack.
Of course, the principle of doing this is based on the stretching and changes of its own hardened skin, so Xinqizhe cannot be covered with barbs like a hedgehog. At most, he can only concentrate on turning a few parts of his body into this.
But if you do this, the Nebula will not be able to maintain high speed and continuously output toward a point on the other party.
In other words, his solution ideas were equivalent to being cracked by Xinqizhe again, and he had to think of another new solution.
Xin Qizhe was not in a hurry at all. He stood opposite the ring and looked at him, chuckled, and began to chat leisurely.
"Do you know? Although we are all geniuses on this field and may be among the top players in their respective territories, it's different here."
Anyway, he was not the one who was eager to attack, so he couldn't hit Hou Xingyun with his own initiative, so he simply did nothing and started talking nonsense.
"Although every team in each province who came here brought three people, it was also because of the competition system. There was always one who was destined to be dragged down by one, and the other who had to be brought with him because there was no better choice."
He said this, snorted lightly and raised his eyelids.
"I think...this character is what you play in the team, right?"
Hou Xingyun didn't say anything.
But he didn't seem to be wrong with saying this.
No, or maybe he already felt that way in his heart.
Until the provincial selection competition, Houxingyun's Awakening Path has never had the word "defeated".
From the awakening, he has a natural advantage in speed, and his talent is quite considerable. He has almost never encountered any opponents on his growth path.
Everyone around him regards him as a top genius, and TV experts say so, so that everyone, including himself, thinks that the champion is his belonging. Many people even believe that under his leadership, Jing Chu can try to win the national championship with unprecedented success.
And as everyone has seen, it turns out that they underestimated the potential of other awakened people in this era.
In the end, he was only the third place selected in the province and was the bottom of this team.
It is definitely impossible to say that it has not been hit by any blow.
No matter how well it is concealed, the inner emotions cannot be completely eliminated.
It is precisely because I have never failed that I am particularly impressed for the first time.
Then it was at this clever opportunity that his younger brother Hou Xingtao opened his heart to him for the first time and conveyed his true thoughts in his heart.
"It's impossible for you to understand that you have never failed, brother?"
Hou Xingtao's former appearance came into his mind.
When he saw Xingtao's muscles swelling, his face turned red, and his body was bulging like a balloon filled. Through the lines on his skin, he even seemed to see blood flowing boilingly.
“Because this is so important to me.”
"I will not allow you to be defeated by anyone else before I surpass you!"
“…”
This was the first time he realized that there was always a chaser behind him.
At this moment, Hou Xingtao must have been paying attention to the game in the audience. He believed that his brother would not lose to anyone, because that was his direction, his goal of growing and catching up.
That is the new goal that Hou Xingyun found when he tasted the defeat for the first time and felt confused and at a loss. Or to put it simply, it was the reason for being motivated to continue to win.
Xin Qizhe's face changed slightly: "You...what are you doing?"
He realized that the atmosphere was not right.
Hou Xingyun's temperament became different. His muscles were slightly stretched out, and even the lines of blood vessels could be seen through the skin.
Because my younger brother thought he was invincible, he always admired him and chased him.
So even if this is just a lie, he must exhaust everything to maintain it.
...even if he is just the third place in this team.
Xin Qizhe began to feel a little nervous for no reason.
Could it be...
No, it shouldn't be possible. There is obviously no such trick in his information.
But this is the fact that actually happened before him.
Hou Xingyun also used taboo tactics, the unique skill that Hou Xingtao once practiced by himself in order to defeat him.
Blood Explosion Technique!
Houxingyun did not know this trick until the provincial trials.
The Blood Explosion Technique was actually practiced by Hou Xingtao in private, and the purpose was just to defeat his brother. This tactic is not within the conventional skill system of the two brothers.
Not to mention that this kind of tactic is not prepared for the awakened ones at this stage. One is that it is extremely difficult to practice, and the other is that even if it is practiced, it is not cost-effective for them.
It causes huge load on oneself, and it is fundamental to either die or be disabled. What's more important is that this skill is useless to the contestants whose main task at this stage is to compete for ranking.
Because even if you rely on the blood-explosion technique to force your strength to defeat a strong enemy, it will be difficult for you to recover before the next game under that side effect.
Even if you recover from injury, you can play again, after the blood-burning technique drains your physical potential, you will never be able to return to your best condition in the next game.
In addition, excessive use of this trick will leave hidden injuries to the body, and if accumulated over a long period of time, it may leave hidden dangers that cannot be eradicated.
Because of these disadvantages, no one usually learns this.
But just after the provincial trials ended, in just a few months now, Hung Yun also learned this trick.
Because he realized his shortcomings and knew that his strength was not as strong as originally thought.
Because he doesn't want to be a burden to the team, he becomes the only shortcoming among the three.
Because someone was watching from behind, he had to continue winning.
......
Xin Qizhe clearly saw the Hou Xingyun staying on the ring more than ten meters away, but he had already sucked a heavy kick in his abdomen.
The terrifying impact, which was completely different from the previous level, penetrated his skin and slightly vibrated his internal organs. Xin Qizhe shook his body and couldn't help but stagger back half a step back.
This speed and impact began to terrify him.
The Blood Explosion Technique will greatly increase the user's physical fitness, speed and physical strength.
Before and after Xingtao's attack when using the blood explosion technique could even penetrate Su Yao's arm armor. Now that the same move was used by Hou Xingyun, the power was incomparable.
Xin Qizhe gritted his teeth and hurriedly mobilized his ability. The skin on his abdomen was deformed, and he poked out a sharp thorn to prepare for the subsequent attack...
But the next development was unexpected.
Hou Xingyun did not stare at the same part and continuously strike because it was no longer necessary.
The dense fists and feet were blowing like a torrential rain, and they also came from all directions and angles, and they blasted on Xin Qizhe one after another.
It felt like a group of Gatlins formed a circle and surrounded Xinqizhe and shot wildly.
At first, Xin Qizhe could barely support his body by relying on his body hardness, but soon reached his limit. He felt like he had a sieve, and his body was exploding endlessly. The afterimages flashed around him turned into thousands of troops, and the air waves caused by his speeding fists and feet formed a storm, sweeping over the stage like a hurricane.
Chapter completed!
