Chapter 415: Crushing Chu Yu!
Chapter 415: Crushing Chu Yu! (Requesting Monthly Vote)
Boom!!
Chu Yu gritted his teeth, unleashing his full strength. His body trembled, veins bulging, vital energy surging wildly as every organ worked at maximum capacity.
Energy transformed wildly into crimson flame power.
Strands of vital force intertwined with crimson flame, his battle will blazing to its peak. Scorching flames gathered at his razor-sharp battle saber.
Boom!!
He swung violently. The crimson flame expanded instantly, coalescing into a blazing phoenix!
Flame Surge Art Ultimate Move—Blazing Phoenix Dance!
The roaring inferno surged toward Lin Qi.
Lin Qi’s eyes narrowed. He erupted with power, his Grand Scenic Aesthetic manifesting instantly, merging into his body.
Vibrating!!
His Special Ability Golden Edge reached maximum output. Golden blades rotated and flowed, condensing into a spear of light that expanded twofold.
He swung the colossal golden spear downward with mountain-shattering, river-splitting force.
As the golden spear descended, it seemed countless blades converged into one devastating strike—river and mountain collapsing in tandem!
River and Mountain Spear Techniques Ultimate Move—Mountain-River Collapse!!
The two forces collided violently. The initial impact of their ultimate moves exploded with deafening roar, tearing through air and warping space.
To the naked eye, only chaos remained—red and gold light streaking across the battlefield.
On the Audience Stand, many spectators struggled to comprehend why the duelists had suddenly unleashed ultimate moves.
But now, all attention was locked on this climactic clash—victory was within moments.
They all wondered: Who would emerge triumphant?
...
Ruins Arena.
Boom!!
Crash!!
Amidst the colliding ultimate moves, soundwaves erupted like thunder.
Chu Yu’s body shook violently. His facial muscles rippled like ocean waves, overwhelmed by relentless force crashing over him like tidal waves.
Terrifying blades pierced through him like a thousand arrows.
Excruciating pain robbed him of control—his body instinctively staggered backward, each step carving deep footprints into the earth.
So strong!
Chu Yu’s mind reeled. He’d already unleashed full power—how could he still not defeat Lin Qi?
I’m a Sixth Realm cultivator!!
How could this happen?
As an Sss-Rank Genius, his strength and combat power should surpass Lin Qi’s.
Yet he felt crushing defeat.
Across the field, Lin Qi also felt searing pain.
Sweat poured from his forehead as his body felt like it was incinerating. The impact left him severely wounded—arms numb, body aching, and weighed down.
Lin Qi gritted his teeth. He’d never experienced such agony before.
His arms trembled, Demon Tiger Bone vibrating with faint cracks.
Yet he endured. He knew retreating could dissipate most damage—and create the perfect moment to strike.
Ignoring his grievous wounds, he swung his black long spear again.
The spear tip shimmered with river essence, amplifying its power. River and Mountain Spear Techniques surged forth!
Flowing Water Pierce!!
What?!
Chu Yu widened his eyes, stunned that Lin Qi could strike immediately without recovery time.
Panic surged through him.
Under life-threatening pressure, his body’s potential ignited. Searing flames erupted again.
He regained control, frantically activating his Special Ability Crimson Flame.
The blazing fire condensed into a flaming dragon, rushing toward Lin Qi.
Hiss~
Lin Qi’s spear met him head-on. The tip tore through the sky, slicing the fire dragon apart.
Quick!!
Chu Yu swung his battle saber. Flames gathered, power infused, desperately trying to block Lin Qi’s fatal strike.
Vibrating!!
The golden spear clashed against Golden Edge and battle saber, sending them reeling.
The spear continued its path, golden light flashing coldly.
Chu Yu could only watch helplessly as a razor-sharp spear tip pierced through his heart.
Puh~
His crimson flame barrier, battle suit, and durable skin all pierced—his powerful heart torn apart.
Blood sprayed like crimson snow, splattering across the battlefield.
Huff!!
Gales howled, the searing heat dissipating. The stage fell silent.
Thud!
Chu Yu’s body collapsed, blood trickling from his mouth.
He looked up at Lin Qi:
“I lost…?”
Lin Qi stopped, his expression calm.
“I won.”
As he spoke, Chu Yu’s body dissolved into nothingness.
[Match 2: Lin Qi (Sophomore) Victory!]
A robotic voice echoed over the ruined, crater-ridden battlefield.
Lin Qi sheathed his long spear. Waves of exhaustion crashed over him—arms trembling, body aching.
Fatigue, pain, and weight—every negative sensation surged forth, even his Minor Divine Ability couldn’t suppress them.
He’d sustained severe injuries, the first time using Minor Divine Ability in years.
Chu Yu truly was an Sss-Rank Genius—inflicting such grievous wounds.
But fortunately, victory was his.
Vibrating!!
His form vanished, teleporting back to the Audience Stand.
The audience stood in stunned silence.
Wan Ming stared at Lin Qi:
“Brother Qi, you actually beat Chu Yu?!”
Lin Qi replied calmly: “You think I couldn’t?”
Wan Ming waved his hands frantically: “No, no, no!!”
“But honestly, none of us expected you to win.”
Others nodded, still reeling from shock.
Lin Qi defeated Chu Yu—an SS-Rank Genius defeating an Sss-Rank Genius.
No one would believe such a claim beforehand.
Yet now, it happened before their eyes.
They exchanged glances, disbelief evident in every gaze.
Nearby, Wang Hailong watched Lin Qi, suddenly realizing his own defeat earlier seemed inevitable.
If Sixth Realm Chu Yu lost, how could he—a Fifth Realm cultivator—stand a chance?
Among the Sophomore Sss-Rank Genius Du Shanyan looked equally stunned.
Chu Yu lost?
Does that mean I’m no match for Lin Qi either?
Chu Yu’s defeat hit hardest. Back at his seat, his mind blanked.
The battle replayed endlessly in his mind.
Defeated by Lin Qi?
That opponent was merely an SS-Rank Fifth Realm martial artist—while he was a Sixth Realm cultivator.
Yet he was still crushed in an upset!
He replayed every moment—how did Lin Qi attack instantly after a devastating collision without recovery time?
Was his body made of Delta Alloy?
His expression twisted watching Lin Qi receive praise.
Once, he’d dismissed Lin Qi entirely—viewing him as just another strong SS-Rank Genius.
He, however, was an Sss-Rank Genius destined to follow Red Emperor’s footsteps, battling Juniors, seniors, even other Sss-Rank Geniuses.
Yet now, he’d fallen to Lin Qi midway.
This crushing defeat left his vital energy, vital force, and spiritual power withered.
“By the way, Brother Qi has already defeated Chu Yu.”
“Does that mean… he’s no longer just an SS-Rank Genius?”
Wan Ming suddenly asked.
This question stunned everyone.
Right! If Chu Yu was Sss-Rank, does that mean Lin Qi deserved that title now?
...
Meanwhile, on the Junior Audience Stand.
Meng Yuxuan, the sole Junior Sss-Rank Genius, sighed:
“Truly impressive!”
“An Innate Prodigy—showing clear Sss-Rank potential!”
“Such a genius shouldn’t remain just an SS-Rank Genius!”
Senior students Lei Shuang and Zhang Tianyang also turned in admiration:
“Unbelievable talent—truly enviable innate talent!”
Shen Heng, clad in black robes, nodded. Only one other had defeated an Sss-Rank Genius through realm transcendence.
Though that person trained at Heavenly Dome Institute, they hadn’t participated in this competition.
Clutching his fist, Shen Heng resolved:
“I must breakthrough to Seventh Realm soon!”
...
Leadership Section!
Hearing the announcement, Wang Yunpeng stroked his chin:
“Lin Qi actually won!”
“An SS-Rank defeating an Sss-Rank Genius—unprecedented!”
Xue Zhou laughed heartily:
“I knew Lin Qi would win!”
“As expected!”
Others secretly marveled. Even these former prodigies had never seen such an upset.
Dean Liu chuckled:
“Since Lin Qi defeated Chu Yu, an Sss-Rank Genius, he clearly deserves that rank himself.”
“We should consider promoting Lin Qi to Sss-Rank immediately.”
Mu Hong, dressed in black, nodded:
“I agree.”
Others followed suit.
Vice Principal Xu Wenji nodded:
“After the Azure Firmament Grand Tournament, the Crimson Vault Martial Arts Pavilion will hold a meeting for formal discussion.”
“We’ll also need Principal’s approval.”
“Unfortunately, Principal’s been busy lately. His presence might avoid lengthy discussions.”
Dean Liu nodded. Every Sss-Rank Genius required recognition from Nine Realms Martial Artists—they needed mentors of Level 9.
If Principal remained occupied, the process could delay.
Dean Liu nodded again, no objections raised.
Lin Qi’s promotion to Sss-Rank Genius seemed certain.
Reflecting, he sighed—how could anyone predict that a once ordinary S-Rank Genius would now ascend so swiftly?
...
The tournament continued. After Lin Qi’s match, four more duels remained.
The final four quickly emerged, with Du Shanyan eliminated.
The final six included Lin Qi, Junior’s Sss-Rank Genius Meng Yuxuan, and four senior prodigies.
Vice Principal Xu Wenji’s projection appeared:
“Students, Round Five concludes!”
“Congratulations to our six finalists advancing to Round Six.”
“They’ll receive 2000 kilograms of Grade 7 Disaster Beast Flesh and 100 kilograms of Grade 8 Disaster Beast Blood.”
“Now, let’s begin Round Six! Among these six, only three will advance.”
Without further words, Xu Wenji waved his hand. Six blazing suns materialized—red and blue pairs converging into three Taiji formations.
