Chapter 481: Chapter 463: World Champion

CLANG!

Lin Qi nimbly dodged the attack, displaying astonishing flexibility and agility.

The heavy Black Great Spear in his hand shot forward, piercing the air as a golden aura coalesced at its tip, causing a powerful shockwave.

"ROAR~"

Ivan’s muscles bulged as he explosively swung his Battle Saber to block.

The Great Spear and Battle Saber collided. The spear’s aura and the saber’s aura crashed. The air cracked with the impact.

The powerful impact shattered the Sword Aura, and Ivan felt a terrifying force slam into his body.

His Power was blasted apart, his arms went numb, and his Qi Blood roiled. He couldn’t stop his body from stumbling backward.

’Such immense strength!’

Ivan was shocked. He was a Seventh Realm Martial Artist! Even without a Combat Power amplification, his physical constitution was far from poor.

Furthermore, he had just broken through to the Seventh Realm, his very blood undergoing a transformation that had vastly improved his physical condition.

’And yet, in a direct contest of strength, I’m completely outmatched?!’

’No wonder Jenos from the White Eagle Federation was no match for him. This strength is simply inhuman.’

His gaze sharpened, and he quickly regained his composure. He was not Lin Qi’s match in strength, but that wasn’t his forte anyway.

"WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH!!"

After forcing Ivan back with a single blow, Lin Qi planned to press his advantage, but a warning flared in his mind—intense danger was near.

A Flying Knife shot toward him, whistling through the air like a silver bolt of lightning.

He instantly swung his Great Spear and struck the Flying Knife, but a surge of force still slammed into him.

Lin Qi’s body froze for a moment; he had felt a powerful impact.

"WHOOSH WHOOSH!!"

From behind him, two more Flying Knives attacked simultaneously. Lin Qi continued to swing his Great Spear to block them.

"What a powerful impact!"

Lin Qi was inwardly alarmed. The force of this impact was clearly stronger than before. The speed empowering the Flying Knife had dramatically increased its might.

He also felt the powerful force of a Mental Realm. The Spiritual Telekinesis and the power of the Mental Realm could actually be fused together.

This fusion made the impact even stronger—something only achievable through Mental Realm Communication with the Divine.

The Flying Knives, sent flying through the air, seemed to have a life of their own. They carved bizarre trajectories, the three knives attacking from various tricky angles.

"CLANG CLANG!!"

Just as Lin Qi was dealing with the Flying Knives, Ivan launched a surprise attack. His Body Technique was phantom-like as his Silver Battle Saber cleaved through the air.

"SWOOSH~"

Lin Qi’s figure was agile, streaking across the arena like a bolt of black lightning and leaving two afterimages in his wake.

He pushed his Body Technique, >, to its absolute limit. He dodged the Flying Knives’ attacks and, sensing danger, simultaneously raised his spear to block.

"CLANG!"

The Great Spear and Battle Saber crashed together, and Lin Qi was caught off guard.

His body stumbled backward uncontrollably.

Ivan’s eyes lit up. He swung his Battle Saber, his Mental Realm erupting completely and fusing into the blade as he controlled the Flying Knives to attack in concert.

The speed of his saber strikes grew faster and faster, while the angles of the Flying Knives’ attacks became increasingly tricky.

In an instant, Lin Qi was plunged into a crisis.

The slightest misstep, and Ivan would cut him down with a single strike.

...

In the stands, within the Bear Country’s section, they watched as Lin Qi was put on the defensive.

Ivan’s master—a tall, curvaceous Ninth Realm Powerhouse with blonde hair, red lips, and the title "Ice and Snow King"—suddenly smiled.

"It seems he’s about to lose. Your Xia Country’s Lin Qi possesses the greatest strength in this Global Martial Arts Tournament."

"But in terms of combat ability, he seems even inferior to Shen Heng. At least Shen Heng wouldn’t be forced into a Desperate Realm this easily."

"As my disciple, Ivan has shown extraordinary intelligence and observational skills since he was a child."

"This Talent of his peaked when he Awakened his Special Ability, Spiritual Mind Master, at the age of sixteen."

"After he was identified as an SSS-level genius, he took me as his master."

"Even after becoming a top-tier genius, he didn’t grow arrogant. Instead, he continued to train diligently, and his strength grew by leaps and bounds, which is how he achieved his current power."

"His Combat Talent and Spirit Talent already allowed him to defeat a Seventh Realm Martial Artist when he was only in the Sixth Realm."

"Now that he has broken through to the Seventh Realm and his Saber Technique has advanced, his Combat Power has increased dramatically."

"No one is a match for him."

"He is destined to become one of our Bear Country’s most elite Ninth Realm Martial Artists."

"Therefore, this match will be over quickly. It won’t be as exciting as the semi-finals."

"Ivan will definitely win the championship!!"

The burly man next to her, Alexander, also spoke up.

Meanwhile, in the Xia Country’s section, the many High Realm Martial Artists were displeased.

The King of Mountains and Rivers, whose aura was as solid as a mountain, showed no change in his expression.

After hearing the Ice and Snow King’s words, he actually smiled and said:

"Ice and Snow King, I know this is the Global Martial Arts Tournament where you have the best chance of winning the championship."

"I understand your excitement."

"But please, don’t be so hasty. The match isn’t over yet, is it?"

The Ice and Snow King shook her head and chuckled. "I’m not the one who should be worried. You are."

Celestial Blade Liy Qifeng also smiled and said, "Then let’s just keep watching the match."

The North River Sword King looked toward the arena and suddenly said:

"It seems the tables have turned!"

The hearts of the Ice and Snow King and the other High Realm Martial Artists from Bear Country suddenly skipped a beat.

They whipped their heads around to look at the arena.

...

The crowd from Bear Country was already in an uproar, eager to see Ivan finish off Lin Qi with a combo.

"Ivan!!"

The geniuses from Bear Country, like Victor, couldn’t help but clench their fists.

...

「On the arena stage」

Lin Qi felt a storm-like crisis bearing down on him.

He was retreating, unable to properly exert his strength, while the three silver Flying Knives shot forward like bolts of silver lightning.

They aimed for three different spots: the back of his head, his feet, and his heart.

Unless Lin Qi could instantly shift his position a significant distance, he would inevitably be hit and injured.
