Chapter 878 - 338: The Final Begins Early, Container No. 3 Is Ready!
Fang Qingyu paused, seemingly recalling the perception at that moment.
"In such a situation where twenty figures simultaneously attack, as long as one can maintain absolute calmness and clearly distinguish the subtle differences in the killing intent each figure carries, locking onto the most core, most lethal one... you can determine the position of the real body."
He looked at Chu Kuanglan and added, "This requires extremely strong control over one’s perception and the ability to sharply capture the fluctuations of the enemy’s killing intent."
"Killing intent... subtle differences... absolute calmness..."
Everyone listened to Fang Qingyu’s explanation, and their faces showed thoughtful expressions.
Wu Feng and Zhou Zhen, those Martial Saints with rich combat experience, subconsciously simulated the scene in their minds.
Twenty figures pounced from all directions, their aura identical, moves as quick as phantoms...
To maintain absolute calm in such an extreme chaos?
And to distinguish among twenty almost identical killing intent fluctuations, and accurately lock onto the only true one within them?
This...
"Gulp..."
Chu Kuanglan swallowed with difficulty, and the look in his eyes toward Fang Qingyu completely changed.
It wasn’t the look of seeing a powerful person anymore.
It was the look of seeing a monster.
"Qingzi..." his voice was somewhat dry, "In that kind of situation... Stay calm? Distinguish the killing intent? Can a human really do that?!"
He ruffled his hair vigorously: "If it were me, my first reaction would be to unleash a huge attack and stir things up! Who the hell has the mind to distinguish which killing intent is real?!"
Wei Banmeng’s cool eyes were also full of heaviness.
She considered herself able to maintain a considerable degree of calmness at critical moments, but to the extent Fang Qingyu described...
Almost impossible.
Lu Jiuyuan: "Theoretically feasible, but the actual operational difficulty... is inhuman."
Wu Feng and Zhou Zhen exchanged a glance.
They saw deep shock and a hint of helplessness in each other’s eyes.
They finally understood why Fang Qingyu could make such a big name on the Arctic Front, why he could become Thunder God.
This terrifying will and insight that operates like a precision instrument even in life-and-death situations is simply despairing.
"You really are a monster..." Chu Kuanglan finally let out a long sigh, his tone incomparably complex.
Fang Qingyu listened to everyone’s reactions and smiled wryly.
His explanation had no logical problems.
It was indeed a theoretically feasible method.
Only... the requirements for the executor were a bit too monstrous.
"Let’s go, wait for the draw to return."
Fang Qingyu didn’t dwell on the topic any longer, heading out of the arena first.
Everyone crowded around him and Jiang Wei, merging into the surging crowd.
...
Night fell, and lights began to shine.
The core area of the City of Injustice did not stop its hustle and bustle due to the end of the competition.
Instead, it became even more lively.
The streets were crowded with people, and the taverns were bustling with noise.
Everyone was eagerly discussing today’s eight matches.
Especially Shi Hao’s brutal punch that crippled Lin Boyue.
And Thunder God’s domineering two-punch knockout of Shadow.
Video clips of these two battles spread like a virus on the City of Injustice’s network, dominating all discussion boards.

Similar headlines were endless.
The major underground betting houses were bustling with activity.
The odds between Shi Hao and Fang Qingyu were extremely close, almost neck and neck.
The supporters argued fiercely.
"Shi Hao is invincible! His physical body confronts Tier Four! No matter how strong Thunder God is, if he can’t break the defense, it’s useless!"
"Bullshit! Thunder God’s Shenxiao Thunder is the power of authority! It’s meant to break all evils! Can Shi Hao’s tough body withstand Celestial Thunder?"
"Upstairs is talking nonsense! Shi Hao’s is purely physical power! What’s it got to do with evils!"
"Stop arguing! Just wait for the match between the two and see who crushes whom!"
The online clamor did not affect the calm of the top-floor suite in the downtown hotel.
Fang Qingyu and the others had finished dinner.
Sitting around the living room.
That night, the quarterfinals schedule arrived as promised.
Thunder God VS Tu Qianshan
Bail Huo VS Sun Qian
Shi Hao VS Huo Wu
Thousand Threads VS Mo Li
As soon as the list came out, the reactions within the suite varied.
"Thank goodness!" Chu Kuanglan patted his chest and let out a big sigh of relief, "Qingzi and Sister Jiang didn’t run into each other, nor faced that muscle monster ahead of time! Tu Qianshan and Sun Qian? Although they’re both Heavenly Kings, compared to that monster Shi Hao, the threat is much smaller!"
Wei Banmeng carefully examined the list, a hint of rational analysis in her cool eyebrow: "Tu Qianshan’s saber technique is known for its ferocity and bloodthirstiness, with extremely strong offense, but relatively weak defense, which is precisely restrained by Qingzi’s Shenxiao Thunder. Sun Qian’s Sky-splitting Spear is swift and tricky, but it’s hard for him to get close to Jiang Wei, similarly restrained. As long as normal performance is exerted, there’s no big problem."
Lin Yu added: "The key is on Shi Hao’s side. Huo Wu’s strength is weak among the Twelve Celestial Kings, and her Heaven-Burning Flame probably can’t even scorch Shi Hao’s skin. Shi Hao advancing to the semifinals is almost certain. Just depends on how the semifinal grouping turns out."
Everyone’s gaze ultimately fell on Fang Qingyu and Jiang Wei.
The real challenge lies after the semifinals.
Fang Qingyu just calmly glanced at the list, with no ripples in the vertical pupils of Melted Gold.
Tu Qianshan?
In his eyes, there’s no essential difference from previous opponents.
The next day, Central Arena.
The quarterfinal battle, the focus of all attention.
The duel between Fang Qingyu and Tu Qianshan was scheduled for the third match.
