Chapter 346: Chapter 346: Champion

BAM!

CLANG! CLANG!

Lin Qi and Havier’s Long Spears clashed, and a continuous stream of Power erupted from their bodies’ vibrations.

Every movement stirred up fierce gales, sending invisible ripples through the air.

’Faster, faster, faster!!’

Havier screamed internally as the thrusts from his spear grew faster and faster. He needed more speed!

Under the immense pressure, his Spear Technique began to break through!

His control over his Power became more refined, and his strikes became even faster!

But it was as if he had been caught in an invisible net woven by Lin Qi, unable to break free. It felt like his Spear Technique had been completely seen through.

Every single one of his strikes—whether it was a Thrusting Spear, Beng Gun, Polearm, or Spear Splitting—was easily blocked.

After more than a dozen exchanges, Lin Qi seemed like a bottomless abyss. Havier couldn’t see his limit.

CLANG!

With another clash, a jolt of Power surged into his body.

It left his arms numb. His body was no longer just faintly aching; it was now racked with pain everywhere.

Lin Qi was a Top-Level expert whose strength had crushed Victor.

With every collision, a terrifying force traveled up the shaft of the spear and into his body.

’This is bad. If this keeps up, I’ll definitely lose!’

Havier’s expression was grave. As his arms trembled, confusion began to cloud his mind.

The battle was not going at all how he had imagined.

He knew exactly how fast his strikes were.

He practiced the Body Technique Secret Manual, "Flowing Light Body Technique," and his Spear Technique was the "Rainbow Transformation Spear Technique."

These were the Secret Manuals most suited for him, enhanced by his Top-Level physical Talent.

His [Light] Special Ability augmented his Power, granting him even greater striking speed.

All these advantages stacked up, giving him a speed that far surpassed others!

Even Miyamoto Genichiro of Sakura Palace was nowhere near as fast.

Only Yu Zhuo, Xia Country’s strongest SS-level genius, could barely match him.

But this other Top-Level genius from Xia Country, Lin Qi, was completely different. ℴ

His opponent’s Black Great Spear was clearly heavier than his own Long Spear.

Yet Lin Qi wielded it as if it were weightless, and the speed of his Spear Technique wasn’t the least bit slow.

He was even faster than Havier himself!

’How is he doing that?’

Havier’s heart grew heavy, and for a moment, a sense of powerlessness washed over him.

But the feeling came and went in a flash.

He was an SS-level genius, one of the best. He possessed immense Psychological Quality and Combat Talent.

His mind raced, his sharp gaze analyzing Lin Qi’s Spear Technique, searching for a way to break the stalemate.

He could sense that Lin Qi’s Spear Technique was on par with his own. The gap wasn’t large; they were both in the same Realm.

Aside from a slight difference in physical conditioning, there wasn’t much of a disparity.

’A direct confrontation is almost impossible to win now.’

’I have to outsmart him!’

As this thought crossed his mind, Havier scanned his surroundings: dilapidated buildings, a wrecked car...

Havier’s eyes lit up. An idea instantly formed in his mind!

CLANG~

WHOOSH~

Havier thrust his silver Long Spear, but Lin Qi casually swung his Black Great Spear like a black Flood Dragon, easily catching the attack.

He, too, felt it was time to end this fight.

’Havier should be using his Little Divine Power by now!’

’Otherwise, he doesn’t stand a chance!’

SWOOSH~

Havier used the force of the impact to slide backward like a streak of white light.

BAM!

Next to him was a wrecked car. With a light swing of his Long Spear, he flicked it into the air, sending it hurtling toward the charging Lin Qi.

In that same instant, an astonishing red light burst from his eyes.

White and red markings appeared on his neck and even his face as a terrifying aura erupted from his body.

Little Divine Power, [Red Light Transformation], activate!

His aura surged in an instant. White vapor emanated from his body, and his every breath turned into a fierce gale.

An endless torrent of strength burst forth from within him.

His physical attributes were massively enhanced in a split second.

He felt the blood in his veins surging like a burst dam, releasing Power that flowed through him. His muscles, Great Tendons, and bones felt as if they had been blessed by some mystical force.

His body had never felt so alive.

Havier was intoxicated by the power welling up inside him.

His confidence returned completely. This was the power of a Little Divine Power.

SHING~

In a flash, he swung his silver Long Spear, which seemed to transform into a rainbow of light as it shot forward.

...

「In the upper-level spectator stands」

Lode, a burly, blonde man and the strongest expert from the White Eagle Federation, sat in the center of the group, his aura the most formidable of all.

He watched the events in the arena with his arms crossed and an expressionless face.

However, his expression had shifted from initial calm to a deep frown when Havier was being suppressed.

But when Havier used the car to create an opening and activate his Little Divine Power, his brow relaxed once more.

"What a clever decision!"

The blonde woman next to Lode said with a smile.

The rough-featured Lode nodded. "No one could have expected Havier to be so completely suppressed by Lin Qi of Xia Country."

"This is a genius even more powerful than Yu Zhuoran!"

"Faced with such an opponent, most fighters would be filled with doubt, even a sense of powerlessness."

"But instead, he was able to calmly search for any sliver of opportunity!"

"He not only possesses exceptional Talent, but also a resilient Psychological Quality and superb Combat Talent!"

"Sometimes, a battle isn’t just won with the body, but with the mind!"

The blonde woman looked at the arena and said, "It looks like Havier can use this move to kill Lin Qi of Xia Country outright!"
