# Chapter 572: Ultimate Secret Technique of the Powerful Vajra Finger! (Bonus Chapter)
In an instant, his heart pounded like a war drum, pumping blood at extreme speed!
Jiangnan's 70% Blood Incineration was already second nature!
He wasn't underestimating Wei Teng in the slightest!
What kind of people were in the Pioneer Academy? The elite of the elite!
They treated cross-level challenges like eating and drinking—nothing like those big losers outside!
Wei Teng charged forward like a ferocious demon, his two spirit blades crossed and slashed down, fierce as ghost claws!
But Jiangnan still showed no intention of drawing a blade, raising his middle finger and meeting the attack!
It made people's scalps tingle, scaring Zhong Yingxue into covering her eyes!
(ﾉ)﹏(ヾ)
"Clang!"
A sound of metal clashing rang out, sparks flying everywhere!
Wei Teng's two fiercely descending spirit blades were steadily caught by a single middle finger from Jiangnan, then flicked upward!
Both blades were sent flying to the side!
Zhong Yingxue: (づﾟﾛﾟど)
Not only were the two of them stunned, everyone's minds buzzed as they sucked in a sharp breath!
The outdoor temperature of the dormitory area rose by 3°C!
What the hell, was there a mistake?!
He actually caught the spirit blades with his finger?!
Looking at Jiangnan's middle finger, there wasn't even a mark left!
"I'm now seriously suspecting that Nan Shen isn't human! How tough is that middle finger?"
"Is it really a golden finger? How can it be this strong?"
"Pfft—haha! This dirty trick? I bet Wei Teng's stomach is throbbing in pain!"
Wei Teng wasn't just stunned—what the hell? How come?!
Both of them were human, so why could his finger catch spirit blades?!
Seeing Jiangnan arrogantly flipping him off, Wei Teng was furious inside!
"Ahhh! I'll cut you!"
The third blade slashed down fiercely, again caught by Jiangnan's finger, then flicked upward!
He wore a relaxed smile: "Bring out all your ultimate moves, alright? I'm in a hurry!"
[Wei Teng's Resentment +1000!]
[Wei Teng's Resentment...]
"Blade Storm!"
Wei Teng completely erupted, his blades moving like an extension of his body, tracing sharp cold flashes through the air!
The blades even left afterimages, all three blades slashing continuously like a raging storm, giving Jiangnan no chance to breathe!
But Jiangnan still had his right hand in his pocket, left middle finger raised, a carefree smile on his face, strolling leisurely through the field!
Due to the extreme speed of his finger strikes, even afterimages of his middle finger formed in the air!
For a moment, it seemed like thirty or fifty middle fingers were pointing at Wei Teng!
Wei Teng grew even angrier, screaming wildly!
Mad slashing!
"Clang, clang, clang~" — the sound of metal clashes was like the most beautiful symphony, sparks flying everywhere, dazzling!
Xia Yao covered her face!
Heavens! Xiao Nan was actually holding his own against the Three-Blade Style with just one middle finger, not losing ground?!
Why did such a childish battle even exist in this world?!
Earlier, Jiangnan had said that no student in the Pioneer Academy could beat him!
Xia Yao hadn't believed it!
Now she believed it...
Jiangnan hadn't even been serious!
The watching students were dumbfounded!
"We're all human, but how is Nan Shen so flashy?!"
"Are you sure he's even human? When it comes to showing off, I only admire Nan Shen! Fighting Wei Teng with one middle finger? I freaking..."
"I really want to learn that move! In a duel, catching all attacks with one middle finger? That's just too cool, okay? Even if you can't win, you'll piss off your opponent to death!"
"Divine Middle Finger? How did Nan Shen train that divine skill?!"
On the balcony, Xiao Zhen smiled bitterly—this was just unwatchable!
Wei Teng was nowhere near Jiangnan's level; they weren't even in the same realm!
"No need to watch! Wei Teng could exhaust himself and never cut Jiangnan!"
Meanwhile, Jiangnan looked thoughtful.
The Golden Middle Finger hadn't let him down—it was tough enough!
But using his finger to execute blade techniques was good for defense but lacked offense!
The fundamental problem was that his finger was too short; this wouldn't do long-term!
So Jiangnan decided to attack with his Golden Middle Finger!
As soon as he thrust it out, a line of system text appeared in his mind!
[Skill Triggered! Powerful Vajra Finger: LV0!]
Jiangnan was startled!
There really was a finger technique?
Powerful Vajra Finger combined with his Golden Middle Finger? A perfect match!
He checked his skill points—still over 620,000 left!
He had maxed out his halberd technique last time and hadn't used the rest!
No need to think twice—just dump points in!
Even if he couldn't max out Powerful Vajra Finger, he could at least push it to top level!
As for the 1 million skill points needed to reach Grandmaster, he could earn them by setting up a street stall later!
[Skill Points Added: 111,100!]
[Skill Upgraded! Powerful Vajra Finger (Top Level): LV0!]
Instantly, countless techniques regarding finger strikes flooded into his mind, merging into every muscle of his body!
Jiangnan smirked devilishly: "Finger Gun!"
A flash of golden light came first, then the finger thrust out like a dragon!
The hard middle finger broke through the blade light, poking Wei Teng dozens of times all over his body!
Wei Teng: Σ(|||Ŏ3Ŏ) Pwah~
He felt as if his body had been sprayed with several rounds of buckshot—it hurt like hell!
Was this really a finger?!
He came with full confidence to spar—held it in for over ten days—and ended up being defeated by Nan Shen with a single middle finger?!
No way! No way!
There was nothing more humiliating in the world than this!
"Person and Blade as One! Triple Tiger!"
In an instant, Wei Teng's two blades became like tiger claws, and the blade in his mouth like tiger fangs!
He slashed wildly in an unstoppable posture, giving an overwhelming sense of pressure!
Truly stunning!
Jiangnan frowned slightly—the three-minute Blood Incineration time was almost up!
Time to end this!
He leaned forward, burst into a charge, dodged Wei Teng's slash like a rattlesnake maneuver, and circled behind him!
Left hand's Golden Middle Finger from bottom to top, aimed dead center, and thrust out wildly!
"Ultimate Secret Technique of the Powerful Vajra Finger: One! Thousand! Years! Deaaaath!"
The finger struck dead center!
A "plop" sound rang out!
Everyone's eyes widened in horror as they sucked in another sharp breath!
Siiigh~
They all shuddered, chills running down their spines!
Wei Teng seemed to be pressed on the pause button, eyes bulging with bloodshot veins, mouth wide open!
His three blades clattered to the ground!
Wei Teng: (›ಠﾛಠ‹) Ohhhh~ Hooooh~ Hoooh~
After a scream that didn't sound human, Wei Teng shot into the air like a rocket from Jiangnan's finger, and landed on the ground in the "⊥|￣|○" position, face green!
Jiangnan stood still, right hand in pocket, left arm raised high, middle finger pointing to the sky!
The golden radiance on his middle finger was the glow of victory!
Jiangnan: (*ˇᴗˇ*)-`凸´-
Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao stared blankly at Jiangnan's golden finger, disgust on their faces!
"Eww~ We still need to eat later! Where did you poke?!"
"Hey, why is Xiao Nan's finger golden? Could it be that just now..."
Jiangnan: !!!
Hey hey hey! Don't you two make wild guesses!
This middle finger of mine was dyed gold by the Paralysis Ring!
It definitely wasn't dyed gold by some weird stuff!
Wei Teng was practically crying—he really had been defeated by Nan Shen with a single middle finger!
He said it was a full-hearted duel to pave the way for the ranking battle?
It was complete domination. The gap was huge. And at the end, he even... wuwuwu!
(٥꒦ິ﹏꒦ີ)
"Master! How can I become as strong as you? Teach me! Teach me!"
Jiangnan wiped his finger, grinning: "Want to learn, huh?"
Wei Teng nodded frantically!
Jiangnan's expression turned serious: "I told you before—external strength isn't true strength!"
"True strength comes from within!"
"If you have a sword in your heart, anything can be a sword! A green onion is a sword; a middle finger is also a sword! Understand?"
"That's called mindset! Got it?"
Wei Teng suddenly realized: "Master, you mean if I have a blade in my heart, I can also do what you did with my middle finger?"
Jiangnan clasped his hands behind his back: "Perseverance leads to achievement! Kiddo, you still have a long way to go!"
With that, he took Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao's hands and walked toward the villa.
Wei Teng lay on the ground, staring at Jiangnan's retreating figure, his eyes shining with incomparable brightness, fists clenched tightly.
"I will also have a blade in my heart! No blade surpasses having a blade! I will also catch my opponent's attacks with my middle finger!"
"Perseverance! I will definitely do it! Wei Teng, you can do it!"
Xia Yao, however, held Jiangnan's left hand as if she had discovered some new treasure!
"Xiao Nan! How did you do it? Is it really just perseverance?"
Jiangnan: (･᷄ٹ･᷅) Nope, nope. What separates you from catching attacks with your middle finger is just a Golden Paralysis Ring!
"Want to wear it? It's a blast!"
If the paralysis effect of his Golden Paralysis Ring were still active, Wei Teng would have been done in from the very first poke!
Seeing Jiangnan's mischievous smile, Xia Yao shook her head like a rattle!
When Nan Shen smiles, life and death are unpredictable!
She wasn't going to fall for his trick!
Zhong Yingxue: "Remember to wash your hands before dinner next time. And don't poke just anywhere!"
Jiangnan: (´◔﹏◔`)
