Chapter 428 - 411: Ending the Battle in Three Moves

Chapter 428: Chapter 411: Ending the Battle in Three Moves

In the sophomore section of the audience.

Wan Ming and the others watched the arena with curiosity.

"So, do you guys think Lin Qi can win?"

Wan Ming suddenly asked out of curiosity, then added,

"According to the data I’ve gathered, Wang Rui’s strength is not to be underestimated."

"He’s a fourth-year genius from Shanyu Martial Arts University. In every aspect, he’s like an enhanced version of Xiang Long."

"Plus, he broke through to the Sixth Realm a long time ago. It’ll be difficult for Lin Qi to win."

Hearing this, the red-robed Chu Yu let out a laugh.

"A genius like Wang Rui? It’s not that hard to defeat him."

"If I went up there, I could take him down in three moves."

"But if it’s Lin Qi, he should have a chance to win."

"After all, he’s a genius I have my eye on."

The others looked at each other, speechless. ’After all that, was Chu Yu just praising himself?’

...

In the leadership section of the audience, Dean Liu rested his hands on the armrests of his chair, smiling as he watched the arena and said,

"Lin Qi got lucky with this match. He’s been paired with Wang Rui, an opponent he has a good chance of defeating."

"If he had been matched against Chu Yu, Du Shanyan, or one of those other SS-level or SSS-level geniuses,"

"it would have been almost impossible for him to advance!"

The others all nodded. Getting a bye was nearly impossible.

With 181 geniuses participating, the rules dictated that someone had to get a bye.

So, they had made some... subtle arrangements. For example, every bye went to one of the handful of top-level geniuses.

It was basically impossible for anyone else to get a bye.

From their perspective, Lin Qi’s luck was quite good. Since he couldn’t get a bye, he had managed to avoid the top-level geniuses and successfully advance this far.

...

On the dilapidated arena floor, the battle was about to erupt.

"WHOOSH!!"

An intense pressure erupted from the two of them. The change in air pressure whipped up violent gusts of wind across the arena.

"BUZZ! BUZZ!!"

An astonishing Golden Light burst from Wang Rui’s body. Golden patterns slithered across his skin like vipers as a Golden Sharpness enveloped him.

He was like an unsheathed Divine Weapon, humming in the air.

His aura changed as he unleashed his Special Ability: [Jin Feng].

Innumerable Golden Blades instantly condensed from the surrounding air.

He raised the Silver Battle Saber in his hand, which had now turned into a golden battle saber under the shroud of Golden Sharpness.

Wang Rui swung the golden battle saber with a smile, stomped his foot hard on the ground, and shot forward like a giant tiger.

His speed was incredible, leaving a silvery afterimage in his place!

He controlled [Jin Feng], his body covered in a golden glow, and his battle saber instantly tore through the air with a piercing whistle.

The aura of the battle saber in his hand was immense, as if a single swing could tear apart the sky and suppress all creation.

His Saber Technique was fierce and domineering. Silken threads of Golden Sharpness coiled around the blade, forming a Saber Aura.

Sky-breaking Saber Technique—Splitting Sky!

"Lin Qi, let me teach you how to use a Special Ability."

In an instant, Lin Qi felt an intense sense of danger.

Wang Rui had already broken through to the Sixth Realm, and his physical attributes were greatly enhanced.

He could control more Power, and his mastery of the Special Ability [Jin Feng] was exceptionally strong.

Especially the Saber Technique Secret Manual he was using—the Sky-breaking Saber Technique.

It was a simplified version of the Ultimate Skill created by their Azure Sky Martial Arts Academy’s principal, Liy Qifeng: the Sky-breaking Celestial Blade.

The Saber Technique was incredibly fierce, with a magnificent aura, as if intending to shatter the very sky.

As an ordinary S-class genius, Wang Rui ranked among the top at Shanyu Martial Arts University; aside from the SS-level geniuses, he was the most powerful existence.

At that very moment, Lin Qi also made his move.

"BOOM!!"

His entire body was also covered in Golden Sharpness. Golden patterns emerged and flowed as, under his control, the Golden Edge Power left his body.

Countless Golden Blades shot forth.

He wielded a golden Big Gun in one hand, forming a golden spear-light that shot out like a bolt of Thunder splitting the sky.

"BANG! BANG!!"

Before they even reached each other, their respective Golden Sharpness had already begun to clash.

The Golden Blades were like a golden torrent, colliding violently in mid-air.

A powerful gale swept across the arena.

In the next instant, Wang Rui and Lin Qi collided on the arena floor.

"WHOOSH!"

The golden Saber Aura slashed down, but Lin Qi’s golden Big Gun suddenly thrust upward, the force of the spear like a Mountain Collapse and Earth Split!

Mountain and River Spear Technique—Mountain Town!

A massive Mental Realm materialized behind Lin Qi: the magnificent and majestic Mountain and River Realm.

"BANG!!"

The two of them clashed violently in an instant.

The Battle Saber and the Big Gun collided, Saber Aura and spear-light clashed, Energy reverberated, and the air crackled.

In that instant, Wang Rui felt a terrifying force transmit from the blade of his saber.

His arms went numb and his Qi Blood surged. For a moment, it felt as if he had lost control of his own strength.

But he recovered quickly and swung again.

Sky-Splitting Slash!

"BANG! BANG! BANG!!"

In a flash, the two of them clashed once more.

Within a very short period of time, they exchanged three blows in a head-on collision.

Lin Qi’s expression remained calm. Wang Rui’s immense Power battered his body, but his superior physical constitution withstood it all.

And with each exchange, his own strength grew even greater.

He gripped the spear with both hands, gathered his power, and brought it crashing down.

"BOOM!!!"

As the third collision ended, Wang Rui’s expression changed drastically. He had momentarily lost control of his body.

"CRACK!!"

His entire body was sent flying like a kite with a broken string, as countless rays of Golden Sharpness transformed into sharp blades and slammed into him.

His defenses were instantly pierced, and several bloody gashes appeared on his face.
