Chapter 379 - 373: Jin Feng VS Thunder

Chapter 379: Chapter 373: Jin Feng VS Thunder

In the audience stands, twelve people from the Tenth Institute, including Huo Wanyang, had logged on early.

Wan Ming glanced around, looking at the group of leaders seated nearby. He estimated there were over twenty of them, all High Realm Martial Artists.

"Holy cow, so many leaders actually came."

Pei Jiu was also inwardly shocked and whispered, "I see Principal Liy."

At his words, everyone looked toward the leaders’ section and, sure enough, spotted a striking, white-haired, middle-aged man among them.

He had a unique aura and an extremely powerful presence, his entire being exuding a faint Sharpness, like a blade slicing through the air.

This was none other than the principal of Azure Sky Martial Arts Academy, Liy Qifeng—a Ninth Realm Martial Artist of the Xia Country, titled the Celestial Blade.

In the Xia Country, he was acknowledged as one of the top ten Ninth Realm Martial Artists.

He was also renowned worldwide.

"I never thought a sparring match between Yu Zhuoran and Brother Qi would attract even Principal Liy’s attention!" Wan Ming said in surprise.

The others also looked on curiously at the two in the arena.

Meanwhile, in the leaders’ section, the opening ceremony had ended. Over twenty leaders from the ten institutes had logged on to watch the fight.

Xue Zhou, a man with a dashing and unrestrained air dressed in a blue robe, spoke up.

"Who would have thought Lin Qi would Awaken on his own!"

He had learned from Dean Liu just yesterday that Lin Qi had Awakened—and without using an Awakening Fruit.

"Now that Lin Qi is Awakened, his Talent and Comprehension will undergo a transformation."

"I’m quite curious about his strength, and I trust you all are as well," Vice-Principal Xu Wenji said with a chuckle, stroking his beard.

He glanced at the others. Indeed, they were all quite curious about Lin Qi’s strength.

But what surprised them most was the man in the center: the fact that the principal, a Ninth Realm Martial Artist, had actually come to watch this sparring match.

Liy Qifeng, seated in the center, said nothing, quietly waiting for the match to begin.

...

On the vast arena, Yu Zhuoran and Lin Qi faced each other. Yu Zhuoran had set no restrictions for this battle.

The Red Dome Martial Arts Dojo’s top-level virtual reality technology had scanned his Special Ability completely.

Therefore, he had no restrictions in this battle and could unleash his full strength.

A frenzied, thunderous aura erupted from his body.

It clashed invisibly with the Sharpness radiating from Lin Qi.

Yu Zhuoran wore a purple Combat Suit that revealed his powerful physique. Every muscle looked as if it contained the frenzied Power of Thunder and Lightning.

He held a Silver Battle Saber that glinted with a cold, metallic sheen in the sunlight.

Yu Zhuoran spoke first.

"Lin Qi, I’m going all out. I hope you do the same."

Lin Qi was also dressed in a black Combat Suit, wielding a heavy Black Gold Spear.

An intense Sharpness radiated from him at all times.

He needed an opponent to test his strength—the stronger, the better.

An opponent like Yu Zhuoran had arrived at the perfect time.

Hearing Yu Zhuoran’s words, he nodded.

"Don’t worry. I will."

[Countdown: 3, 2, 1...]

[Lin Qi VS. Yu Zhuoran!]

[The Match Officially Begins!]

An AI voice announced emotionlessly from above the arena.

"WHOOSH—"

Fierce gales whipped across the arena, stirred up by the auras emanating from the two combatants.

In an instant, the two were each enveloped in a different type of Energy.

Frenzy versus Sharpness. Thunder versus Jin Feng. The Nine-headed Serpent Emperor versus the Platinum Evil Tiger.

"BZZT—"

The battle ignited in an instant. Yu Zhuoran’s eyes flashed silver as Thunderbolt Silver Snakes coiled around him, illuminating the arena.

Silver patterns appeared on his exposed arms, neck, and face.

A stunning electrical current even began to radiate outward from him.

The friction between the Power of Thunder and Lightning and the air generated fierce gales.

In a flash, he shot forward like a bolt of lightning, silver serpents dancing wildly on the Silver Battle Saber in his hand.

"BOOM!"

He suddenly slashed his Battle Saber through the air, his body vibrating as he condensed an immense amount of Power.

Using Power Separation, his Power merged with the Thunder, transforming into a Thunderbolt Silver Snake that shot forward.

It was incredibly fast, and Lin Qi sensed intense danger.

He instantly activated Jin Feng.

Golden Light erupted from his eyes, a golden glow radiated from his body, and profound golden patterns appeared on his skin.

A terrifying force erupted from within him, the Sharpness forming a suit of armor around his body.

"HUMMM!!"

He suddenly exerted his strength, unleashing the vibrating Power within. His Golden Edge Power resonated with the Black Gold Spear as he swung it out in a tiger-like thrust.

"BANG!!"

The air cracked, fierce gales raged, and the powerful collision of Energy made the air tremble.

The Thunderbolt Silver Snake was shattered instantly, but the Thunder and Jin Feng within it collided, and the impact immediately traveled up the spear shaft to strike Lin Qi’s body.

"BZZT!!"

"HSSS—"

Lin Qi shuddered as ripples spread across the surface of his muscles. A powerful electrical current had broken through the protective shield formed by his Golden Edge Power and was now surging through him.

The current instantly shot from his arm to every corner of his body.

Lin Qi remembered the feeling of static electricity from his childhood. It was not a pleasant sensation.

And Yu Zhuoran’s current was countless times stronger than mere static electricity.

Pain flooded him in an instant, and for a moment, he lost control of his body.

’So strong!’

Lin Qi was inwardly shocked. He had used his Golden Edge Power to nullify most of the attack’s force; if it had been his old self, a direct hit from that silver snake...

...would have most likely resulted in severe injury.

’This is the Special Ability of an Awakened. An Ordinary person would probably be turned to charcoal in an instant.’

’It’s just like those news reports from my past life, where people touched high-voltage power lines and were instantly fried.’

"BOOM!"

Like a flash of Lightning splitting the night sky, Yu Zhuoran appeared before Lin Qi in an instant.

His blade, wreathed in the Power of Thunder and Lightning, struck out at extreme speed. His Saber Technique was as fast as Lightning, each blow carrying the force of a mighty Thunderbolt.

Thunder Shocking Saber Technique—Thunder Serpent Frenzy!

’So fast!’

Lin Qi’s heart jumped. Boosted by the Power of Thunder and Lightning, Yu Zhuoran’s speed had increased by a huge margin—even he couldn’t ignore it.

He swept his Long Spear, once again unleashing the Power within him and merging it with his Golden Edge Power to execute the Rainbow Transformation Spear Technique.

"CLANG—"

The explosive clang of metal on metal rang out as sparks and Lightning flew from their Weapons.

Both had combined their Special Ability with their Power in the attack.

"BZZT!!"

Golden Edge Power also erupted from Lin Qi, clashing with the Thunder.

Although it was just a probing exchange, the power in their Techniques was anything but weak. The air around them filled with the clash of silver Thunder Serpents and Golden Blades.

The air vibrated. Lin Qi was inwardly shocked—this time, an even more frenzied Power of Thunder and Lightning blasted out.

However, he had released his Golden Edge Power this time as well.

Their powers canceled each other out, and both absorbed the Rebound Force.

’Such immense strength!’

Yu Zhuoran gritted his teeth, inwardly shocked. From that single exchange, he could already feel the terrifying force behind Lin Qi’s spear.

’If I hadn’t used my control over Thunder to offset some of that force, my arms would have gone numb from that single blow.’

’I have to end this quickly.’ At that thought, he swung his blade again, unleashing a chaotic dance of Thunder Serpents and a sky full of saber afterimages!
