No one had expected Lin Zhen to fight Hedgehog to this extent.
Although Lin Zhen had only managed this with Jackdaw, the Profound Yellow Pagoda, and the Sun Ring, that was how Martial Artists were. The power of their equipment was also part of their strength. Otherwise, why would so many people fight so desperately over equipment?
By this point, the battle was no longer merely a contest of strength. It was also a contest of willpower.
Hedgehog controlled his Flying Swords to attack Lin Zhen while resisting Lin Zhen's Mental Impact.
Lin Zhen relied on his powerful vitality and recovery ability to withstand the Flying Swords, all while relentlessly bombarding Hedgehog with Mental Power.
The sheer brutality of the battle made the spectators stare in shock.
"The hedgehog will definitely make it! He'll definitely hold on!"
"No problem, absolutely no problem! He's a super expert who won one hundred million matches in the Dimensional Arena—a Quasi God King!"
Everyone in the Dimensional Arena clenched their sweaty palms, constantly encouraging themselves inwardly and cheering Hedgehog on.
Yet many things simply did not go as people wished. After several consecutive clashes, Hedgehog could no longer hold on!
"Ahhh! I don't believe it!"
Hedgehog could not believe that he had actually lost to Lin Zhen in a contest of willpower. The man stood there, pierced through by countless Flying Swords and clearly on the verge of collapse, yet his Mental Impacts continued to slam out again and again.
Rather die than retreat, rather break than bend!
Hedgehog's brain was about to be beaten into mush. Fear had risen in his heart, and he knew that if this continued, he would be the one to lose.
But he could not lose. He could not afford to lose. Hedgehog was also a strong-willed man.
