Chapter 39: Shattered Gold Blade Techniques (Please Continue Reading)
[Start matching!]
This time, the promotion match took far longer than Lin Qi had anticipated.
He guessed that with his high win rate, finding a formidable opponent wasn’t easy.
Fifteen minutes later, when Lin Qi had already practiced his spear techniques multiple times out of boredom, the system finally matched him.
[Match found!]
On the vast arena, two towering figures materialized one after another, spotting each other instantly.
Lin Qi’s eyes, peering through his black mask, locked onto his promotion match opponent.
The man was burly and towering, with a broad, muscular back and shoulders like a bear. His thick, powerful arms and rugged features were accentuated by his red combat suit as he swung a sharp greatsword.
[Nickname: Big Blade]
Lin Qi hesitated slightly upon seeing him. He recognized this person—though only recently.
This was none other than Guo Heng, the curly-haired man Wu Feng, friend of Lü Xiang.
He hadn’t expected his promotion match opponent to be him. For someone to qualify as his rival in this match, Wu Feng’s strength was self-evident.
Seeing Lin Qi’s masked figure, Wu Feng sneered disdainfully. “Your appearance is pretty intimidating.”
“So you’re Yang Jian, huh?!”
“Looks like my luck’s good. I’ve run into you in my promotion match.”
“I’ll cut you to pieces with my blade and advance to Star Rank. Time to avenge Lü Xiang—killing two birds with one stone.”
“Clown.”
Lin Qi replied slowly.
“What did you say?”
“Clown.” Lin Qi repeated.
“You’re asking for death!” Wu Feng roared, his fury erupting.
[3… 2… 1…]
[Match officially started!]
The arena’s emotionless electronic voice announced the beginning.
“Let me crush you!”
Wu Feng bellowed, spreading his arms wide and charging forward with thunderous steps. Over 1.95 meters tall, his bear-like frame erupted with explosive power, resembling a charging grizzly.
His greatsword slashed through the air like a storm, radiating a deadly aura.
Lin Qi swung his Black Long Spear, his figure darting forward like a panther in a frenzied sprint.
The spear tore through the air, creating a howling gale as the battle’s tension filled the arena.
In an instant, they collided at the arena’s center, blade clashing violently against spear.
Wu Feng’s sword was a heavy, battle-tested saber—over 1.2 meters long, broader and heavier than standard issue. His arms, like granite pillars, swung the blade downward with earth-shattering force.
Shattered Gold Blade Techniques, Second Form—Whirling Gold Slash!
Lin Qi thrust his spear, his arms bulging with veins like coiled steel cables. His strength erupted as the spear pierced the air.
Mountain-Shattering Spear Method, Second Form—Collapse Thrust!
“Clang!”
They clashed like battlefield generals, head-on and unyielding, their collision echoing through the arena.
The weapons met midair, their faces tightening. Though Lin Qi’s mask hid his expression, he felt a tremendous force surge through his spear into his arms.
Wu Feng narrowed his eyes, inwardly startled. Damn, his strength isn’t weak either.
“Clang!”
The sheer force sent both combatants reeling backward several steps.
Lin Qi swung his spear, suppressing the numbness in his arms. This Wu Feng, like him, relied purely on brute strength.
His Shattered Gold Blade Techniques were fierce and unrelenting—each slash felt like a thousand-jin weight, capable of cleaving steel.
Due to the Scarlet Realm’s restrictions, their Vital Energy stats were capped at 6.0.
They were evenly matched in power, but Lin Qi sensed Wu Feng’s martial skill was slightly superior.
Victory wouldn’t come easily.
“Exciting! Let’s go again!”
Wu Feng grinned, swinging his blade once more. His style was straightforward—no flashy moves, just overwhelming, wide-ranging attacks.
He charged again, like a wild beast.
Lin Qi, seeing this, ignited his Vital Energy, his strength surging with it.
He swung his spear in dazzling arcs, the tip slicing the air with piercing gusts.
Mountain-Shattering Spear Method, Fifth Form—Leap Sky!
In an instant, they met midair—one ascending, one descending—as blade and spear collided violently.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
Raw, unbridled power clashed, their weapons a blur of steel and sparks.
Golden Blade Horizontal Slash!
Golden Blade Continuous Slash!
They exchanged blows in rapid succession, pure strength at its peak.
Wu Feng rained down slashes like hail, each strike packing devastating force.
“This is strange!”
What’s going on with this guy?
Wu Feng inwardly gasped. The opponent’s spear techniques seemed full of openings, yet he couldn’t land a decisive blow.
Though he held the advantage, he couldn’t break through.
Lin Qi’s arms ached from the impacts, but his eyes burned with focus. He memorized Wu Feng’s blade patterns, searching for an opening to end it in one strike.
“If that’s the case, I’ll use an even stronger move to kill you!”
His spear techniques aren’t as refined as mine. He definitely hasn’t mastered the first killing move yet.
Wu Feng resolved to unleash his ultimate technique—even if it was newly learned and not yet perfected, it would be more than enough to defeat this “Yang Jian.”
As they pushed apart again, he charged forward without hesitation, launching his killing move.
No frills, no hesitation—just raw power poured into his blade.
His aura surged with an overwhelming, overbearing force, like a beast pouncing. The blade’s momentum felt like a mountain collapsing, capable of cleaving through peaks and shattering steel.
Shattered Gold Blade Techniques, Ultimate Move—Shattered Gold Decapitation!
“Die!”
Wu Feng roared, unleashing his ultimate slash with full force.
Hmph!
Lin Qi’s expression hardened. Every movement of Wu Feng’s was clear in his eyes.
“Now!”
In an instant, Wu Feng exposed an opening—right as he swung.
Lin Qi had been waiting. His feet exploded into motion, his spear weaving a flurry of strikes, four techniques merging seamlessly.
Like a tiger descending from the mountains, his aura turned terrifying.
His eyes gleamed with golden light, and in his vision, Wu Feng’s body seemed to have a shifting weak point.
In a flash, he shot forward like an arrow, his Vital Energy boiling, his strength flooding into the spear. He struck with lightning speed, like a raging torrent in a stormy sea.
Mountain-Shattering Spear Method, Ultimate Move—Raging Surge Collapse Thrust!
Hmph!
Pfft!
The spear tip tore through the air, screeching as it split the atmosphere.
“What?!”
Wu Feng watched in shock as his opponent unleashed a killing move at blinding speed, their movements seemingly on different levels.
“Faster!”
Wu Feng’s eyes bulged, desperate to swing his blade faster.
But Lin Qi’s spear was faster. Unimpeded, it shot past his blade’s range, striking the precise weak point he’d identified.
Pfft!
Clang!
The spear pierced through the air, its cold light flashing. As it pierced Wu Feng’s chest, the greatsword came down.
The weapons collided, but at that moment, Lin Qi released his grip. The spear flew free, knocked aside by the impact.
The tip, dripping with Wu Feng’s blood, struck the ground, splattering crimson.
Clang!
Wu Feng’s greatsword fell beside it, the metallic clang echoing.
Pfft!
“How?!”
Wu Feng collapsed to his knees, blood spilling from his mouth. His wide eyes couldn’t believe his defeat.
“You lost, clown.”
Lin Qi loomed over him, his voice icy.
“You…”
Wu Feng tried to speak but dissolved into nothingness, vanishing from the arena.
Wu Feng’s Personal Space
“Agh!”
Clutching his head in pain, Wu Feng writhed. The agony of being killed was unbearable.
But what hurt most was losing to “Yang Jian.”
“I actually lost…”
His blade techniques were clearly superior. He’d expected an easy victory to avenge Lü Xiang.
Yet he’d still lost, failing to advance to Star Rank.
And that insult—“clown.” The memory made him seethe.
“Right, I still need to advance to Star Rank.”
“Yang Jian, just wait. Next time, I’ll kill you.”
Suppressing his rage, Wu Feng immediately began searching for a new opponent.
If he didn’t advance by midnight, the consequences would be too great.
