Technological practice: leading the human race to the stars

Chapter 13 True Strength

As soon as Li Weiming finished speaking, the students around him immediately burst into heated discussions.

They whispered to each other, their eyes showing deep doubts about Yuan Ze. In their minds, Yuan Ze might have been high and mighty.

But now, Yuanze seemed to have become a laughing stock who could only show off his bravery and lacked foresight. They shook their heads and sighed, as if they had witnessed Yuanze's inevitable defeat in advance.

As the discussions grew, the students who were watching stepped back consciously, leaving a clear space for the two.

"Mr. Li is sure to win. The gap in strength nowadays is huge." Someone in the crowd said confidently to the classmate next to him.

"Hmph, don't speak too soon." Someone behind him retorted disapprovingly.

"Who said that..." The man was about to argue, but suddenly turned around and saw Hjalma standing behind him. He immediately chose to remain silent.

Obviously, neither side is someone he can easily provoke.

He Can looked at this scene and couldn't help but shake his head gently, "How can someone who just goes with the flow be considered a true martial artist?"

The cold wind was still biting, tugging at the two men's clothes, making rustling sounds.

The two men rushed towards each other at the same time. Their fight was so fast that it dazzled all the students present. Even many students in the top classes could not fully see the movements of the two men.

Li Weiming was under a lot of pressure. Having been in a pampered environment for a long time, he had not encountered many real confrontations. Most people stopped at the appropriate time due to his status.

However, Li Weiming's reputation is not in vain, he is quite capable and good at finding opportunities. He forced Yuan Ze to retreat many times, causing the people around him to cheer and shout.

It is not difficult to see that Li Weiming still did not take the game seriously and preferred to enjoy the cheers from outside the stadium, but these cheers still distracted him.

Yuanze seized the opportunity and knocked Li Weiming to the ground with a palm, stopping the cheers of those people, leaving only the whistling cold wind.

This palm strike made Li Weiming sober up. This kid Yuanze even surpassed him in some aspects.

If it weren't for the decline of my source power, I would not be his opponent at all. But judging from the strength of that palm strike, I only lost some face, and there was no actual damage.

When Li Weiming got serious, he was still very difficult to deal with, and the two had another tough battle.

"The longer the time goes, the more serious the problem of Yuanze's lack of physical energy will be." He Can frowned and quietly told Harma about his discovery.

"What should I do?"

"Make an emergency plan. We can't let Yuanze get seriously injured." He Can's eyes accidentally met Yiyang's, and Yiyang seemed to be warning them not to act rashly.

As close friends, they hope Yuan Ze can win, but the current situation is so unfavorable that stopping the fight is a bad idea.

Li Weiming also discovered this. Although his chances of winning increased with time, he heard the cheers around him becoming smaller and smaller with time.

“How could I not cheer?”

Thinking this way, Li Weiming activated the genetic programming chip anyway. With a burst of dazzling red light, the admiring voices from the people around him became louder. Everyone seemed to have forgotten that he had said that he would not activate the chip.

The noise around seemed to be anticipating Yuanze's defeat, which made Li Weiming excited again.

However, Yuanze discovered that the red electronic circuits only covered the right half of Li Weiming's body. It seemed that his master was right. This was a semi-finished product that could not cover the entire body and mobilize the source power of the whole body.

But it is the master's masterpiece after all. The power and speed that can be exerted at once are greatly improved, and the consumption of source power will be reduced to a very low level. It is impossible to deal with it by relying on skills alone. We have to change our strategy.

"We can only continue to push Li Weiming into a corner, or wait for him to show his weakness."

Yuanze also saw where the satisfaction he felt after activating the chip came from.

Yuan Ze used "Flow" to tighten the consumption of source energy and switched to a more thorough defensive stance.

Li Weiming became even more anxious when he saw that Yuanze did not lose as he expected.

Therefore, he decided to overclock the chip to the maximum output power and adjust the combat power to the maximum. Suddenly, his figure became blurred, as if he turned into a flash of lightning, and shuttled freely on the playground. Each attack was with the force of thunder, as if he wanted to completely destroy Yuanze.

However, even with such a powerful attack, Yuan Ze still could not defeat him in one fell swoop. With the help of "Flow", Yuan Ze could see through almost all of Li Weiming's intentions and could accurately avoid his attacks most of the time.

However, once the super-powerful attack hits, Yuanze must use a large amount of source power to resist and recover. Under Li Weiming's overclocking attack, Yuanze gradually fell into a slump, and the attacks he suffered became more and more frequent, causing Yuanze to retreat one after another.

He never showed any intention of giving up, but He Can and Hjalma on the side became a little impatient and emerged from the crowd, trying to stop the fight.

"What do you want to do?"

Yiyang also came to the field and stopped the two.

The sudden change made the eyes of the audience around light up. There was new gossip and the voices of discussion became louder.

"Who dares to stop me?"

The impatient Halma tried to use his strength to knock Yiyang away, but his strength was as weak as hitting cotton.

He Can immediately cooperated with Halma to attack his lower body, but he did not move at all, as steady as a rock.

"I'm sorry, my friend." Although Yiyang's voice was low, the two could hear a hint of helplessness in it. Then He Can and Halma fell heavily on the grass, temporarily losing their combat effectiveness.

The speed was so fast that it even surpassed that of Li Weiming who was in overclocked state. No one present except Yiyang himself could see clearly what happened.

No one expected that Yiyang, ranked fifth, would instantly defeat the third and fourth.

Everyone around fell silent at once.

At this moment, something strange happened.

Yuan Ze, who had been suppressed, had golden lines appearing from his left hand to his entire body. Suddenly, a golden light burst out, forcing back Li Weiming's offensive momentum.

The bandage on Yuanze's hanging left hand gradually broke apart, and a square area gradually appeared, flashing with dazzling light, drowning out the red light on Li Weiming's body.

Then the golden light gradually spread to Yuanze's body, and was clearly visible on the skin exposed by the torn clothes. Then, the light gradually retreated, and only by looking carefully could the circuit and shape of the chip be vaguely seen.

"It's obviously more advanced than Li Weiming's."

This was the first thought in everyone's mind, but no one dared to speak.

When Li Weiming saw this, he knew that he had already lost face in front of everyone, not to mention that the side effects of overclocking were gradually getting stronger. He might not win if he continued to fight, which would only make him more embarrassed.

Li Weiming, who had no intention of fighting, took advantage of the fact that everyone's attention was focused on Yuanze and gave Yiyang a wink.

Yiyang had no choice but to act as a clown, standing between the two of them.

Yiyang declared expressionlessly: "Let's stop here. If we fight again, I'm afraid it will hurt the relationship. We can fight again another day. If you don't agree, you have to get past me first."

There was no choice but to call it a day. Even the wind on the playground seemed to hold its breath, quietly staring at the three people in the center.

Li Weiming had almost no scars, but his eyes were full of anger and unwillingness; Yuanze's clothes could not cover the scars on his body, but his face was calm; Yiyang stood in the center with an expressionless face, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Yiyang slowly walked up to Li Weiming and said something, but Li Weiming pointed at He Can and Harma who were gradually getting up from the ground and loudly rebuked Yiyang: "My little brother is so powerful, and you still want me to do it myself?"

He scolded Yiyang one sentence after another, as if he wanted to get back at his younger brother, without caring at all that it was he who asked him to save the situation. The scolding was just to convey to others that the big brother is superior to the little brother.

However, surprisingly, Yiyang was respectful and did not resist at all, he even seemed a little guilty.

At the same time, on the other side of the playground, Yuan Ze and his friend were supporting each other and leaving. Although Yuan Ze's friend was not seriously injured in the battle, Yuan Ze still ignored his own body and supported him carefully, fearing that he would be hurt again.

Everyone looked at the situations on both sides, with many things they dared not say. They could only slowly disperse, only daring to treat this matter as a topic of conversation after dinner.

Yuanze stopped and the time seemed to stand still when they passed each other. Yuanze stared at him for a long time, as if he wanted to see something from Yiyang's calm face.

Yuanze couldn't help but wonder:

"Why is he doing this?"
