Chapter 1101: Ghost-Spirit Peerless (Exclusive)
September 27, 2017
Youzhou. At the foot of Lingzhi City.
The battle between Huang Zhong and Dian Wei continued.
This wasn't the first time Huang Zhong and Dian Wei had joined forces against an opponent, but it was their toughest fight yet.
Even though Dian Wei had quickly joined the battle after Huang Zhong, their situation didn't ease up much with his arrival. They still couldn't gain any advantage against their opponent.
Pei Yuanying was undoubtedly the strongest and most terrifying enemy they had ever faced.
This guy could be described as unfathomable; he was like a deep ocean, and no matter how hard Huang Zhong and Dian Wei fought, they couldn't seem to grasp the extent of Pei Yuanying's abilities.
Even at this moment, Pei Yuanying had only used his Demon Transformation, and he hadn't even utilized his unique-level General Talent. Huang Zhong and the others could clearly sense that Pei Yuanying wasn't exerting his full strength in his current state. Yet, he still managed to pressure Huang Zhong and Dian Wei immensely.
Dian Wei, in particular, felt the most pressure during the fight against Pei Yuanying.
This wasn't because Dian Wei was weaker than Huang Zhong, but because his fighting style put him at a disadvantage. Dian Wei's style was all about brute force, similar to Pei Yuanying's approach.
Dian Wei was indeed the most powerful warrior under Lu HaiKong's command, and even Lu HaiKong himself might not be able to match Dian Wei's strength. However, compared to Pei Yuanying, Dian Wei's already superhuman strength fell short.
His battle with Pei Yuanying was mostly one-sided, as Dian Wei was being overwhelmed. Huang Zhong had exchanged nearly two hundred moves with Pei Yuanying without sustaining much injury, but Dian Wei had already suffered significant wounds after a similar number of exchanges.
Moreover, Dian Wei's injuries were mostly internal, caused by the intense clash of brute force, with no visible external wounds.
Fortunately, it was Dian Wei; if it had been Huang Zhong, he would have been knocked down by now.
But Dian Wei didn't falter; even in this heavily injured state, his aura continued to intensify, becoming increasingly ferocious. Black flames flickered in his eyes.
On the city walls of Lingzhi, Lu HaiKong's eyes narrowed as he witnessed this scene.
At that moment, Dian Wei's condition reminded him of the Yellow Turban Rebellion years ago, specifically when Zhang Liang had pierced Lu HaiKong's throat with a spear, killing him instantly.
Back then, upon witnessing Lu HaiKong's death, Dian Wei had entered a berserk state, turning completely dark and his combat strength skyrocketing to near 100.
Dian Wei's current state was quite similar to that time, but there were some differences. His strength was now far superior to what it had been then, and while his aura was ferocious, he hadn't entered a full-blown berserk state.
Understanding the situation, Lu HaiKong immediately realized that Dian Wei was breaking through under the pressure of this formidable opponent, Pei Yuanying.
Indeed, Dian Wei's foundation was exceptionally profound. After reaching a combat strength of 98, he had been stuck at that level for a long time without any breakthroughs. It wasn't surprising that he was breaking through at this critical moment.
As Dian Wei let out a furious roar, his Phantom Spear clashed violently with Pei Yuanying's battle hammer. Simultaneously, a terrifying aura, akin to a ghostly spirit, surged from Dian Wei's body.
As Dian Wei's aura erupted, the ghostly shadow behind him merged into his body, and black flames erupted. At the same time, Lu HaiKong received a system notification.
[Your historical warrior, Dian Wei, has broken through his combat strength under intense pressure and now possesses a combat strength of 99!]
[Your historical warrior, Dian Wei, has improved his General Talent under intense pressure, and his talent, Ghost-Spirit Peerless, has evolved!]
Two consecutive system prompts appeared in Lu HaiKong's ear, and as he listened, a hint of joy appeared on his face. While observing Dian Wei's frenzied attacks after his breakthrough, he opened Dian Wei's attribute page to check his current stats.

In a 169-page book, no mistakes!
Ghost-Spirit Power (Basic): Upon activation, it increases Dian Wei's physical attributes threefold and transforms his internal energy into Ghost-Spirit Power, which possesses incredible and mysterious effects.
These were Dian Wei's current attributes. Lu HaiKong focused his attention on the General Talent, which was described vaguely. Although Lu HaiKong knew that such vague talents were often extremely powerful, he needed to witness the battle between Dian Wei and Pei Yuanying to truly understand its terror.
As Lu HaiKong examined Dian Wei's attributes, the situation on the battlefield had already changed significantly.
Pei Yuanying, who had been dominating the fight against Dian Wei and Huang Zhong, now faced Dian Wei's unleashed twelve-strike assault. With each strike, Pei Yuanying retreated a step, and by the twelfth strike, he was blasted back several meters.
Witnessing this, the numerous generals on Lingzhi City's walls couldn't help but smile. This was the first time Pei Yuanying, the fierce warrior, had been at a disadvantage since his appearance.
It was undeniable that Pei Yuanying's strength had put them under pressure, especially after seeing that Huang Zhong and Dian Wei were still unable to gain the upper hand against him. The situation was incredibly stressful for Lu HaiKong's generals.
Fortunately, Dian Wei's powerful outburst seemed to have turned the tide of battle.
However, not everyone on Lu HaiKong's side was as optimistic. At least three individuals didn't share this optimism: Dian Wei, who had just blasted Pei Yuanying away; Huang Zhong, who was nearby; and Lu HaiKong himself, standing on the walls of Lingzhi City.
These three individuals keenly understood that Pei Yuanying was not an easy opponent. He hadn't even used his full strength yet, and even with Dian Wei's advancement, it was uncertain if they could defeat him.
In truth, Pei Yuanying had been toying with them from the start.
His true strength was on a different level from Dian Wei and the others. In fact, he was even a step above Qin Shu Bao. Pei Yuanying was the first opponent Lu HaiKong had encountered who, in terms of combat strength, was purely and utterly a hundred-level existence without any external influence.
Such a terrifying existence was not easily defeated.
Indeed, Pei Yuanying, who had been blasted away by Dian Wei, quickly stood up. Despite enduring Dian Wei's twelve consecutive strikes, he showed no signs of injury, which was impossible.
After rising, Pei Yuanying's mouth curled into a smile filled with interest: "Interesting, very interesting. I've been waiting for Huang Zhong's breakthrough, but unexpectedly, it's you who broke through first. This is fascinating! Now, I can let loose and have some real fun!"
As he spoke, Pei Yuanying's aura surged.
While Lu HaiKong's expression remained unchanged, the faces of Du Rouhui and the middle-aged scholar beside him in the Demon Legion had already turned pale.
