Chapter 202: Huo Wanyang's Terrifying Strength (Please Vote Monthly)
[First match preparation beginning!]
[Countdown: 3, 2, 1...]
[Match officially started!]
"Whoosh~"
Chang Xialiu began her attack the instant the AI announcer declared the start.
Like Li Zehao, she possessed wind-like speed, her waist tight and steps powerful.
She transformed into a green whirlwind, swinging her Wildgoose Saber as endless blade light enveloped the arena.
Facing her attack, Lin Qi moved instantly, piercing forward like lightning.
So fast!
Chang Xialiu's expression changed dramatically!
In the next instant, Lin Qi twisted his wrist and thrust his spear like a dragon. This simple straight thrust instantly created powerful gales, carrying terrifying momentum.
"Clang! Clang!!"
Chang Xialiu swung her Wildgoose Saber to block, but the sharp blade couldn't alter the spear's trajectory.
Cold light flashed as the dragon-like spear advanced.
"Phew~"
The spearpoint pierced Chang Xialiu's throat. The battle ended.
Chang Xialiu dead!
[First match: Lin Qi (Sixth Institute) wins!]
The AI announcer declared.
Lin Qi retracted his spear and disappeared from the battlefield. His current strength was simply too overwhelming, most opponents couldn't even withstand two of his spear thrusts.
Back in the spectator seats, he understood his physical constitution now far surpassed others. In terms of pure strength and speed, few freshmen could match him.
"Clap! Clap!!"
Thousand of people from Azure Firmament's Six Colleges erupted in thunderous applause.
The audience seats once again boiled with excitement.
"Another one-hit kill, the gap is too huge!"
"Who can still resist Lin Qi?" someone shook their head.
At Azure Firmament's First Institute spectator area, a muscular figure with smooth muscle lines - Huo Wanyang - stood with arms crossed. His rough features made his smile seem fierce:
"Good, a decent opponent."
"The stronger the better, defeating someone strong will feel more satisfying!"
With that, he stood up.
Transforming into a crimson red light column, he vanished and appeared on the battlefield.
From the red light column emerged Huo Wanyang in red combat gear.
At 206cm tall, broad-shouldered with steel-like musculature, he exuded a mighty aura.
He held a heavy red great axe, its sharp blade edge emitting a cold, sharp gleam.
He looked like a beast ready to devour men.
Opposite him, Guo Heng emerged slowly with a serious expression. He also had a tall, muscular build.
His height also exceeded two meters, matching Huo Wanyang. Holding a battle saber, he radiated fierce momentum.
Yet facing Huo Wanyang, his frame appeared half a size smaller. The invisible pressure from his opponent clearly suppressed him.
This was the difference in their body constitution.
He felt intense pressure - the overwhelming pressure from the national second place contender.
"I want to see just how big the gap between us really is."
[Match officially started!!]
The AI announcer instantly declared in the air.
"Whoosh~"
Both combatants erupted with terrifying auras. Guo Heng cultivated the Golden Vajra Tiger Evolution Method, and a golden giant tiger seemed to condense on his body.
Opposite him, Huo Wanyang grinned, a huge black creature resembling a powerful lizard forming around his body.
"Whoosh!"
Guo Heng swung his battle saber, unleashing mighty force as he charged forward. His saber, infused with vital force, came like a massive wave surging from the sea.
Huo Wanyang swung his red great axe, stepping heavily on the ground. The great axe split air like an axe blade, crashing down powerfully.
"Boom!!"
The silver battle saber and red great axe violently collided mid-air, creating an explosive sound.
Guo Heng's face changed dramatically as he felt a terrifying force from his saber crash into his body.
The intense vital force tore through his muscles, both arms instantly going numb.
Internally shocked, he thought, "I cultivate the Golden Vajra Tiger Evolution Method, now approaching 35 in vital energy stat. I should have about 2600kg of fist strength. How could I be completely suppressed in direct confrontation?"
"Boom!"
The terrifying force sent his body uncontrollably backward. Huo Wanyang, with his thick single arm, grabbed the great axe and thrust it forward sharply. The blade tip pierced the air with a sharp whistle, creating a gust of wind.
So fast!
Guo Heng gritted his teeth, swinging his battle saber to parry.
"Clang!"
"Phew~"
The battle saber struck the great axe, but couldn't change its trajectory. He himself was pierced through the heart by the sharp blade tip.
Guo Heng fell backward, looking at Huo Wanyang while shaking his head:
"Boring, too weak!!"
In the next instant, Guo Heng vanished into nothingness, returning to the spectator seats.
He said solemnly:
"Huo Wanyang is too strong. Sorry, I've done my best. I couldn't force him to show stronger strength."
Jiang Tao comforted him: "It's okay, Ah Heng, you've done very well."
Everyone's faces darkened. Huo Wanyang gave them an unshakable feeling of overwhelming power.
They understood Guo Heng's strength - yet he was completely overwhelmed without any resistance ability.
Lin Qi, who had disappeared from the battlefield earlier, also frowned watching Huo Wanyang. The opponent's strength was indeed formidable.
Unrivaled power - innate divine strength, a heavy great axe unleashing terrifying force, overpowering opponents directly.
Though his vital energy stat hadn't broken through to the third realm, it was already at the peak of the second realm.
Moreover, his spear techniques weren't low either, even reaching around 80% of the second stage, close to the high second stage.
Few could withstand his attacks.
An extremely powerful opponent.
...
Meanwhile at a nearby spectator seat, a handsome short-haired woman shook her head.
"Ah Heng's innate talent is already pretty good, but against S-Rank Geniuses, it's simply not enough."
"Unless his innate talent can continue improving, I'll need to help him a bit."
After muttering to herself, she chose to log out.
...
The fourth round continued.
After Lin Qi and Huo Wanyang's match, the following battles were also spectacular, but the Academy Head battles often ended very quickly.
Ao Feng, nicknamed Soul Severer, possessed unpredictable blade techniques and extreme speed, defeating opponents with two sword strikes.
Duan Chuchu shared the same style, her sword techniques fierce like a golden serpent's wild dance.
Lin Qi watched their battles from the spectator seats, gaining a rough understanding of everyone's vital energy stats and martial arts proficiency.
At 9 PM, the fourth round officially ended.
The final 25-strong were announced. Lin Qi looked around - only Guan Shan and Jiang Tao from Azure Firmament's Six Colleges remained, making three total.
Which was already many. Azure Firmament's Seven Halls had only one Academy Head left.
...
The next day arrived.
8 AM
"Whoosh~"
A gust of fierce wind swirled around Lin Qi, who sat cross-legged in the martial arts training hall.
The moment he opened his eyes, the fierce wind began dissipating, blowing the silver curtains.
A terrifying aura erupted from Lin Qi's body.
[You completed a training session, your vital energy stat has increased, vital energy stat +0.1]
[Vital energy stat: 38.9→39]
...
"Whoosh~"
Lin Qi stood up, looking at his 39 vital energy stat. He was just 1 away from 40.
Very close to reaching 40 vital energy stat.
"After the individual tournament, I should prepare to breakthrough to the third-circle martial artist."
Lin Qi mused, unable to help but marvel at how the university was truly a martial arts holy land, with such fast progression.
After a brief reflection, he entered the neural pod, preparing to start today's individual tournament.
Today, he would officially claim the top spot among freshmen at Azure Firmament Martial Academy.
"Beep!"
"Buzz!!"
After a tingling sensation, he opened his eyes again to hear noisy, lively sounds coming from all directions.
The spectator seats around the arena remained lively, filled with heated discussions.
"From 25 to 13 strong, besides 12 S-Rank Geniuses, there's one A-Rank Genius. Maybe I can directly advance", Jiang Tao said.
Others laughed after hearing, but they all had to admit Jiang Tao had grown rapidly.
Unknowingly, he had improved from around 10th place in the Sixth Institute to third place level.
Only now did they realize he was also a top-tier genius.
"Brother Qi, yesterday someone posted a poll on the school forum about who would win the championship."
"Huo Wanyang had the highest votes, Ao Feng second, you third, Duan Chuchu fourth."
"They don't really believe in you. You must show them who's better." Jiang Tao said indignantly.
"They'll pay for their underestimation", Zhou Xi Yin also spoke.
Lin Qi's lips curved slightly as he said:
"Then let's give them a little surprise!"
Jiang Tao laughed too. He knew Brother Qi would start showing his true strength. The individual tournament championship of this freshman competition definitely belonged to Azure Firmament's Six Colleges.
...
"Students!"
The vice principal began smoothly, instantly silencing the entire auditorium.
"Today is the final day of the Freshman Competition Individual Tournament, and the ultimate champion will be decided today."
"Yesterday's 25 qualifiers will now determine the final 13 competitors who will advance to the sixth round, each receiving a reward of 3 million Xia Kingdom Yuan!"
As his words fell, he raised his hand. The 24 holographic figures instantly began forming groups, with one person remaining on his palm.
Lin Qi saw this and smiled.
[Bye: Lin Qi (Sixth Institute)]
"Lin Qi from Azure Firmament's Six Colleges gets a bye!"
At the same time, the other 12 match pairings were all displayed.
Many in the audience had different expressions upon seeing this. Almost all matches were Academy Head vs others, no Academy Head vs Academy Head matches.
It was hard not to suspect the school was manipulating things behind the scenes, though they accepted the results.
Lin Qi sat in the spectator seats watching Huo Wanyang, Ao Feng, Duan Chuchu's battles.
He also memorized the martial arts techniques and body techniques they used.
Only by knowing both yourself and your enemy could you win a hundred battles.
He believed Huo Wanyang and others would also investigate his Split Mountain Spear Techniques and Thunderclap Body Techniques.
He wondered if the upcoming opponents could bring him some excitement.
...
Half an hour later
Fifth round officially ended!
The final 13 strong were determined. Besides the 12 S-Rank Geniuses, there was one A-Rank Genius - Guan Shan.
"Old Guan, impressive!" Jiang Tao exclaimed looking at Guan Shan.
Guan Shan's lips curved upward: "If I don't show my strength, you'll really think I'm weak!"
"In Bei Jiang Province, I'm also one of the top five geniuses."
Everyone nodded. From the Disaster Beast Hunting Competition to the Individual Tournament, Guan Shan had shown top-level combat strength. In Azure Firmament's Six Colleges, he was the strongest besides Lin Qi.
"Students, the sixth round is now finished."
"Next, let's officially begin the seventh round. Of the 13 competitors, only 7 will advance to the next round, each receiving a reward of 3,500,000 Crimson Heaven Points."
Vice Principal Xu Wenji said slowly.
At the same time, the 12 holographic figures formed new match pairings.
Everyone anticipated the upcoming Academy Head showdown!
