Chapter 240: A Crushing Battle (Requesting Monthly Vote)
“Hah!”
In the middle of shattered ruins and open concrete pavement, the battle erupted with a roar. Wei Peng clenched his war axe, his muscles bulging with explosive power as the blade’s sharp edge gleamed under the sun like a cold, merciless crescent.
“Crack!”
He stomped the ground, fracturing the concrete into spiderweb-like cracks, sending tremors rippling through the arena. Stones scattered like shrapnel as he surged forward, a blur of raw power charging straight at Lin Qi.
The war axe howled through the air like a collapsing steel gate, cleaving the atmosphere with a thunderous boom. Each step he took sent debris flying, as if the earth itself recoiled from his wrath.
Furious Tide Axe Method – Raging Waves Unleashed!
Lin Qi stood firm, his legs rooted like ancient oaks. Instead of attacking, he swung his black long spear in sweeping arcs, weaving a defensive vortex of silver light.
Adamantine Body Technique – Adamantine Form!
In the stands of Shanyu Martial Academy, the perpetually stoic Gong Hui blinked in silent shock. This was the Adamantine Body Technique—the very spear art he’d mastered. Yet Lin Qi wielded it with terrifying fluency, surpassing even his own skill.
Is this for real?
The clash came—a deafening clang! as axe met spear. Shockwaves rippled outward, shaking the arena. Wei Peng’s hulking frame loomed close, his breath hot as a starved beast’s snarl. Lin Qi’s arms absorbed the tide of power, the force of a storm surging through his bones.
This brute strength! Even Lin Qi had to admit—Wei Peng’s power was monstrous.
Wei Peng’s war axe, heavier than a boulder, pressed down with unrelenting fury. Yet the impact felt like striking an unshakable mountain.
His axe rebounded harmlessly.
Unease flickered across Wei Peng’s face. This defense… was it even possible?

In Minghai Martial Institute’s stands, Li Hanjiang frowned thoughtfully.
“Wei Peng’s Innate Divine Strength is legendary. At ten, he stood six feet tall, built like a grizzly bear. Among freshmen, none could rival his strength.”
“His two-hundred-kilo war axe shatters stone with a swing. His Furious Tide Axe Method mimics raging seas—relentless, overwhelming.”
“When I fought him, I had to deflect his blows. Even then, my arms numbed, my insides ached.”
“Victory came only by exploiting speed to find gaps.”
“Lin Qi usually relies on Meteoric Spear Art—dancing around enemies, whittling them down. But now? He’s just… defending?”
The spectators murmured. From Azure Firmament Martial Academy, a voice cried, “Wei Peng’s assault is unstoppable! Lin Qi’s defense won’t last!”
Huo Wanyang, however, studied the duel with growing unease.
“Wei Peng’s strength rivals mine. A head-on clash would be brutal.”
“But Lin Qi… his power once eclipsed mine entirely. If Wei Peng can’t finish him fast, this fight turns deadly.”
He knew Lin Qi’s prowess firsthand—flawless speed, defense, stamina, strength. A colossus without weakness.

Back on the battlefield, Wei Peng grinned savagely, his axe a storm of steel. Lin Qi retreated step by step, his spear ringing like a bell with each collision.
“Die!”
Wei Peng’s muscles coiled, his vital force blazing like wildfire. His axe, now cloaked in radiant power, cleaved downward—a celestial cleaver splitting the heavens.
Lin Qi’s eyes sharpened.
He planted his feet, twisted his waist, and in a flash of lightning, pivoted. The axe’s edge grazed his face, severing strands of hair.
The axe struck the earth, obliterating a boulder in an explosion of stone.
“What?!” Wei Peng roared. His strike—dodged?!
The war axe swung sideways, a lethal arc. Lin Qi’s muscles swelled, his vital force erupting like a tidal wave. With a thunderous clash, his spear parried, bending under the force before sending shockwaves rippling—a white aura expanding outward.
Wei Peng staggered, his arms trembling as pain lanced his shoulders. He retreated ten steps, each leaving cracked earth.
Lin Qi, unfazed, launched forward. His spear flashed—a thousand meteors streaking across night.
Meteoric Spear Art – Meteor Chase the Moon!
“Clang!”
Wei Peng raised his axe as a shield, but the spear pierced his wrists, drawing blood. The weapon slipped from his grip, embedding itself into the ground.
The next strikes tore through his throat. Vital force lanced like needles, organs ruptured, and blood sprayed.
Wei Peng collapsed, staring at Lin Qi.
“You did your best.” Lin Qi’s voice was cold. “But you’re still no match for me.”
Wei Peng vanished in a wisp of light.
---
Back in the stands, Wei Peng’s body materialized, radiating fury. His face dark as a storm cloud, he seethed inwardly.
He’d lost? So easily?
The one who’d crushed him—the National College Entrance Exam top scorer—had he become a joke?
---
[First Match: Lin Qi (Azure Firmament) Victorious!]
The arena erupted in thunderous applause.
“Lin Qi barely broke a sweat!”
Wei Peng, the National College Entrance Exam First Place, fell in seconds!
Huo Wanyang exhaled sharply.
How had Lin Qi done it? How strong was he now?
The answer eluded him.
