Whether thrusting, splitting, crushing, or piercing with the spear...
Every strike Lin Qi launched poured his entire strength into it.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Within an instant, the two clashed several times, their Mountain-Shaking Forces colliding like thunderous waterfalls.
Lin Qi clenched his teeth, forcing himself to endure his body's strain. His Mountain-Shaking Force felt completely overwhelmed by Xiang Long's peculiar Vital Force.
His own energy was like a strong unarmed man, while Xiang Long wielded a sharpened weapon. Though his physical constitution surpassed Xiang Long's, the opponent's Vital Force had somehow exceeded his own through some mysterious enhancement.
He'd fallen behind, and the pain in his arms intensified. Fortunately, his Steelbone constitution allowed him to withstand Xiang Long's strikes. A normal person would've already dropped their weapon.
If this brutal exchange continued, his body might collapse entirely. He might actually lose.
He needed to find Xiang Long's opening and finish him in one strike!
Across from him, Xiang Long's face darkened. He'd always been confident in his bodily talents—his strength and speed had never failed him, even against SS-Rank genius Yu Zhuoran.
But today...
In their direct clash, he had lost in sheer power!
Only his special Vital Force had prevented immediate defeat. The thought made his blood boil.
"Clang!!"
Their spears met again, forming an X-shape that sparked violently.
The sharp spear tips hovered less than two centimeters from their throats. With their strength, a flick of the wrist could sever arteries.
They both surged forward, bulging muscles straining as Vital Forces erupted in a seismic confrontation.
"Xiang Long—shocked?" Lin Qi's eyes gleamed as he taunted. "That my unawakened body surpasses yours in strength?"
"You're nothing without your Special Ability!"
Xiang Long's eyes flared. Lin Qi's words pierced his mind like daggers. Rage surged through his veins.
"Die!" Xiang Long roared.
"Boom!"
Lin Qi suddenly thrust backward, creating distance while gathering power. Xiang Long paused too, channeling energy into his legs for a mighty leap. His body coiled like a bowstring, spear radiating Mountain-Shaking Force.
Golden spear raised, he descended like a collapsing mountain.
"Sky-Shaking Spear Techniques" first killing move—Mountain Collapse Earth Split!
"Die!" Xiang Long bellowed.
Lin Qi felt the spear's oppressive edge slicing his face, piercing his eyes with pain. Shadows engulfed him as the spearpoint's cold gleam locked onto his life.
Spectators gripped their seats.
"Here it comes!" Cheng Lei, arms crossed, grinned confidently.
Dean Liu unconsciously gripped his Smart Seat's armrest, warping the metal.
Mu Hong stared, unblinking.
...
In the Crimson Realm Arena:
As the golden spear neared, Lin Qi's body suddenly blurred.
Thunderflash Instant Kill Step!
With explosive leg strength, he dodged laterally in a flash.
"Huh?!" Xiang Long's eyes widened as his spear smashed ground, cracking earth and scattering debris. His attack had missed!
Then—danger!
A cold gleam flashed. Lin Qi's Black Long Spear pierced forward. Xiang Long swung wildly, but Lin Qi's fully-charged strike compressed air itself, creating a white shockwave.
Speed beyond limits—his reaction time shattered.
Xiang Long's Vital Force projection dispersed instantly under Lin Qi's onslaught.
The silver spearpoint pierced his throat, blood spraying across the arena.
"Whoosh~"
The storm calmed. Silence fell.
"You lost, Xiang Long. No Special Ability—you're nothing. Even awakened—you're still nothing!"
"Kuh..." Xiang Long spat blood, body dissolving into mist.
[Match Ended—Lin Qi Victorious.]
The arena's emotionless AI announced his triumph.
...
In the observation hall, stunned silence reigned.
"He actually won!" Wan Ming swallowed hard.
"How could Xiang Long lose?" Shen Zhenzhen gaped. "Lin Qi's movement was too fast at the end!"
I Wei sighed. "Lin Qi hid his strength from the start. Everyone focused on their power clash, but Xiang Long underestimated his speed."
"Wait—he trained Golden Vajra Tiger Evolution Method too? Balanced power and speed?" Xia Lian asked.
"Exactly. He baited Xiang Long into committing fully, then exploded with a killing strike."
Pei Jiu nodded. "Pure talent domination. Most of us would've lost in Xiang Long's place."
Cheng Lei's face twisted. His disciple had lost to Liu's protégé.
Mu Hong laughed heartily. "Cheng, seems your student wasn't so great after all."
Nearby, a white Neural Pod hissed open.
