Chapter 206: Clash Against Huo Wanyang
Chapter 206: Clash Against Huo Wanyang (Requesting Monthly Vote)
At Azure Firmament Third College’s section, Ruan Qian smiled broadly:
“Haha, even Ao Feng lost.”
“So I’ve got nothing to be ashamed of either. Losing to second place isn’t embarrassing.”
Ruan Yu, her demeanor refined and elegant, chimed in with a smile: “Lin Qi’s truly a dark horse. Ranking tenth nationally in the National College Entrance Exam, yet defeating Ao Feng who placed fourth.”
“Hidden Tiger indeed—what a fitting nickname!”
…
At Azure Firmament Fourth Institute’s seating area, Li Lei, built like a hulking bear, sighed in admiration:
“He’s genuinely impressive. I faced Ao Feng myself during the Genius Battle Tournament and got crushed completely.”
“Now he’s been defeated by this Lin Qi so decisively. Looks like I wouldn’t stand a chance against him either.”
“I’m thoroughly convinced now!”
…
In Azure Firmament First Institute’s stands, Huo Wanyang watched the battle’s conclusion with arms crossed, his rugged face splitting into an excited grin.
“Interesting, this Lin Qi will be my final opponent.”
“He’s the only one worthy of challenging me.”
“Once I defeat him for the championship, those gifted with Special Abilities will become my next targets.”
…
In the Vip section, Azure Firmament Nine Courtyards’ deputy principal Azure Robe’s expression darkened as Ao Feng fell.
“Never expected Ao Feng, ranked fourth nationally, to lose to Lin Qi, tenth place.”
The neighboring college leaders’ remarks felt like daggers to her heart.
“Seems Dean Liu had the foresight to recognize Lin Qi’s innate talent, recruiting him even at tenth place,” praised a First Institute leader.
Dean Liu chuckled. “Just lucky, I suppose.”
Nearby, the Second Institute leader’s face twisted in discomfort.
Earlier mocking Liu’s judgment now backfired painfully.
Meanwhile, Deputy Principal Xu Wenji from the Six Colleges watched Lin Qi’s match, a warm smile forming.
…
In Azure Firmament Six Colleges’ area—
“Brother Qi’s the man!”
As Lin Qi returned to the stands, the crowd erupted.
“Knew Ao Feng stood no chance against Brother Qi!” Jiang Tao roared.
Laughter rippled through the crowd.
“Now only Huo Wanyang remains. Beat him, and Brother Qi becomes the Freshman Competition champion—the undisputed freshman king,” Zhou Xi Yin smiled.
“Exactly. Let’s crown him today!” Guan Shan declared.
“Today’s the day!”
“Comrades!”
Deputy Principal Xu Wenji’s hologram reappeared.
“The Freshman Competition’s Individual Tournament has reached its climax.”
“Azure Firmament First Institute’s Huo Wanyang and Six Colleges’ Lin Qi have reached the final showdown.”
“Now the arena awaits their duel for supremacy.”
“Let’s crown the ultimate freshman champion of Azure Firmament Martial Academy—and award the 6,000,000 Xia Kingdom Currency prize!”
“Hear this: The Individual Tournament begins now!”
“Bring forth the contenders!”
With his decree, Xu Wenji dissolved into digital fragments.
At Six Colleges’ stands, Lin Qi rose slowly.
“Brother Qi, today’s the day to seize rookie supremacy!” Jiang Tao bellowed.
“Boom!!”
Lin Qi vanished in a crimson light column.
At First Institute’s section—
“Once Huo Wanyang beats Lin Qi, we’ll be undisputed champions. Let all colleges know who reigns supreme,” someone sneered.
Li Zehao logged in to witness Huo Wanyang’s victory.
Huo Wanyang clenched his fists, leapt eagerly, and dissolved in his own crimson beam.
In the arena—
“Boom!!”
Two crimson columns erupted, revealing two titans.
Huo Wanyang, 2.06 meters tall, clad in red battle armor, strode forward—thick black hair cascading over his broad shoulders, wielding a massive red great axe etched with dragon motifs. Its gleaming blade radiated menace, while his steel-like physique radiated the terrifying aura of an eighth-level Disaster Beast: Earth-Shattering Dragon.
A force capable of obliterating all life.
“Clack!”
Lin Qi, in black battle armor, stepped onto the arena’s stone floor—single-handedly gripping his Black Long Spear, its golden lightning patterns crackling. At 1.92 meters, he stood 14 centimeters shorter, his frame leaner yet sculpted with explosive muscle, like purified steel.
Facing Huo Wanyang’s onslaught, Lin Qi’s gaze ignited with golden light as his Golden Vajra Tiger roared inwardly, its primal energy clashing.
The invisible battle of auras began—Earth-Shattering Dragon versus Golden Vajra Tiger.
Observing his foe, Lin Qi analyzed: Huo Wanyang cultivates the Earth-Shattering Dragon Evolution Method—a Primordial Energy martial art granting monstrous strength and durability. At the Third Realm, he likely surpasses 3,200 kilograms of fist power. He’s the nation’s second strongest, and I must prove my strength.
Huo Wanyang swung his great axe casually, generating a gale. “Didn’t expect you’d make it here.”
“Your strength’s not bad. Let’s see if you can match my brute force?”
Lin Qi’s lips curled. “Same to you. Don’t fall too quickly.”
The air thickened with tension.
【Arena Preparation Initiated!】
【Countdown: 3… 2… 1…】
【Combat Engaged!】
The arena’s emotionless AI voice announced the duel’s commencement.
“Hya~”
“Lin Qi! Witness true power!”
Huo Wanyang charged first, his roar thunderous. The ground trembled as he lunged—his 100-kilogram great axe howling like a storm.
The blade descended like a falling mountain, cleaving the sky with a shriek of tearing air.
“Here we go!”
Lin Qi felt the onslaught but surged with exhilaration—this was the rival he craved.
He exploded forward, gripping his 100-kilogram Black Long Spear, matching Huo Wanyang’s charge.
Though smaller, his aura rivaled the other’s.
“Boom!!”
Lin Qi’s superior speed closed the twenty-meter gap instantly.
Twirling his spear, he launched a sweeping strike mid-charge.
Both warriors chose brute force—their styles unyielding, their confidence absolute.
“Crash!!”
The heavy weapons collided—metal screeching, Vital Force exploding. Shockwaves rippled outward.
Lin Qi felt immense force jolt through his arms, numbing them as he staggered backward, barely resisting the momentum.
Huo Wanyang, too, grimaced as the impact reverberated through his chest, forcing him back three steps.
Their eyes locked—each calculating, each impressed.
Huo Wanyang’s expression hardened. This one’s no pushover. His strength rivals mine.
“Again!”
Huo Wanyang roared, his Vital Energy surging like a wild beast. He swung his dragon-patterned axe with ancient warrior ferocity.
“A lone warrior holding the pass against ten thousand!”
Lin Qi’s aura flared defiantly. If Huo Wanyang was a reincarnated Lu Bu, he’d be Emperor Xiang Yu reborn.
He swung his Black Long Spear anew, unleashing his Split Mountain Spear Techniques—wide, crushing strikes echoing thunder.
Neither dodged. Neither defended—only power against power.
“Crack!!”
Weapons clashed, sparks flying.
The sheer force sent both retreating, regaining ground to launch renewed assaults.
Blow after blow—halberd against spear, raw might dominating the arena.
…
The stands erupted with cheers. For martial artists, this was the ultimate spectacle.
“How much strength do they have?!”
“This is true martial artist combat—unbelievable!”
“Heavenly warriors battling!”
“Ancient generals couldn’t compare!”
On the Vip stand, First Institute’s Dean Wu Yueze frowned.
“Huo Wanyang’s innate divine strength surpasses all peers. Born a martial prodigy.”
“His Body Constitution ranks among the rarest!”
“Without Special Ability awakenings, he’s the pinnacle of ordinary geniuses.”
“His Crimson Tempest Halberd Art hones pure force—reaching 3,200 kg at Second Realm peak.”
“That great axe amplifies his power. Most couldn’t survive one strike.”
“And yet Lin Qi matches him blow for blow?”
