The spearhead shattered the scales, leaving a wound an inch deep, but it wasn't fatal.

The Tyrannosaurus Rex roared in pain, its massive tail sweeping out again as it turned. Chu Kuang didn't have time to withdraw his spear to block and was sent flying, along with his weapon.

"He's finished."

"Even with his Life Level at seven, a direct hit from that full-power tail swipe would likely leave him severely injured and unable to fight."

Amidst the watching crowd, Zhao Wu sighed and spoke.

But in that instant, Chu Kuang, flying backward, suddenly adjusted his posture. He thrust his great spear into the cliff face, bending it into a sharp arc. Using the shaft to absorb the force, he spun around and shot towards the Tyrannosaurus Rex like an arrow.

With the Heavenly Dragon Pounces on the Moon, Chu Kuang turned into a golden light, crossing dozens of yards. The broad spearhead shook violently in his hand. Simultaneously, he unleashed Golden Spear Piercing the Sun, aiming directly for the Tyrannosaurus's vulnerable throat.

"Pfft—"

Thousand Jun Formation Breaker's speed was beyond imagination. The Tyrannosaurus, caught off guard, couldn't adjust its stance in time and was instantly pierced through its scales. The spearhead sank several inches into its neck, leaving a deep gash.

"Roar!"

Instantly, the Tyrannosaurus roared in agony, its cry shaking the heavens. An indescribable force surged from the spear tip.

Chu Kuang felt the world spin as if struck by a giant hammer. He was sent flying dozens of yards, barely managing to stop his momentum by jamming his spear into the ground, creating a ten-yard-long gouge.

He then turned back to see the giant dragon's neck bleeding, enveloped in a furious bloody light. It charged fiercely towards Chu Kuang.

"Berserk again."

"It's a shame my strength is just a bit lacking."

Chu Kuang shook his head. If his strength had been 30% greater in the last move, he could have directly pierced the dragon's carotid artery and killed it in one blow.

Now that the Tyrannosaurus was Berserk, its strength, speed, and physique had all greatly increased. Chu Kuang found it difficult to find an opportunity to defeat it.

"Berserk can't last long. I just need to hold out until its Berserk state ends, and then I can defeat it."

Chu Kuang quickly made up his mind. He instantly struck the Tyrannosaurus with his war spear, using the force to disengage and retreat, creating dozens of yards of distance between them again.

After that, the Tyrannosaurus relentlessly pursued him. Each attack carried the weight of Mount Tai, but Chu Kuang consistently evaded and dodged, using the instincts of Blood Battle in All Directions and the extreme speed of Thousand Jun Formation Breaker to keep it at bay.

At this point, the effect of Thousand Jun Formation Breaker finally became apparent. This movement technique sacrificed evasion and agility, but the resulting speed made it impossible for the Tyrannosaurus to catch up.

Combined with the defense provided by Chu Kuang's Great Accomplishment Iron Armor Technique and Iron Bell Shield, he could ignore most attacks and threats.

As long as he didn't engage in a head-on fight with the Berserk Tyrannosaurus, the damage it inflicted would at most cause minor injuries to Chu Kuang.

They continued to clash like this, and in the blink of an eye, over ten exchanges had passed.

Seeing Chu Kuang evade and dodge, the Tyrannosaurus's rage was almost palpable.

It roared, cornering Chu Kuang, then took a deep breath before letting out a heaven-shattering dragon's roar.

"Boom—"

Instantly, a torrent of bloody flames erupted, and the scorching dragon's breath engulfed the area dozens of yards ahead, completely submerging Chu Kuang.

At that moment, the onlookers on the mountain peak turned pale. Even from hundreds of yards away, they felt a wave of heat wash over them, and they all broke out in a cold sweat.

"Tyrant Dragon Flame! This is a Bio-Beast that has awakened its innate treasure technique! Are those guys at the school crazy? Why would they assign us an opponent like this?"

"Perhaps what the school wants is a genius who can pass this test."

Ye Shuanghen spoke slowly, his eyes filled with immense shock.

As everyone was startled, Chu Kuang felt endless flames burning him. The scorching heat was enough to melt iron, and even his alloy Battle Armor emitted a red alert.

"System scan complete. Current attack is about to exceed your tolerance limit. If unable to resist, the Intelligent Brain will determine you are eliminated."

Facing such an attack, Chu Kuang remained remarkably calm. He forcefully activated the mighty internal and external combined energy, reinforcing the dual defenses of his Iron Armor Technique and Golden Bell Shield.

Instantly, after another scan of his Battle Armor, the red alert in front of Chu Kuang finally changed to yellow.

"You have sustained minor injuries. Internal energy consumption rate has increased significantly..."

Chu Kuang ignored these alerts and focused all his effort on pushing his two defensive martial arts to their absolute limit.

Finally, after ten breaths of burning, the bloody energy surrounding the Tyrannosaurus gradually disappeared, and it stopped spewing Dragon Flame.

Its eyes scanned the depths of the valley, as if waiting for something. As the Dragon Flame gradually dissipated, calm footsteps echoed from within the valley.

The crowd looked up and saw a man in dark black Battle Armor walking slowly through the lingering smoke. Each step carried an indescribable weight.

"Berserk has ended. It seems this Tyrant Dragon Flame consumed a great deal of your energy."

"Then, it's time for my reign."

As his voice fell, Chu Kuang strode forward, golden protective energy boiling around him. The mighty energy from his internal and external combination, fused by the Golden Bell Shield and Iron Armor Technique, erupted with immense power.

He turned into a golden light, streaking across the ground. With a perfect combo of Heavenly Dragon Pounces on the Moon and Gold-Splitting, his fearsome power struck the Tyrannosaurus's flesh, leaving another inch-deep wound.

This blow was still not fatal, but it was no minor injury for the Tyrannosaurus.

If Chu Kuang were allowed to continue inflicting such damage, it would be severely wounded and die before long.

In an instant, the Tyrannosaurus went berserk, its claws, tail, and fangs attacking in rapid succession. However, with the enhancement of Blood Battle in All Directions, it was still difficult to hit Chu Kuang.

Occasionally, it managed to hit Chu Kuang, but most of the time, its attacks were blocked by his war spear or were unable to inflict serious damage on the supremely defensive Chu Kuang.

In the midst of the continuous battle, Chu Kuang's condition was not perfect, but his fighting spirit was ablaze, treating each clash as a life-or-death duel.

After a peak showdown lasting over a hundred exchanges, the Tyrannosaurus Rex bore dozens of spear marks across its body, its movements and strength gradually waning significantly.

Finally, its injuries were so severe that it could no longer sustain itself, and even its attacks became sluggish.

"Die!"

Without further hesitation, Chu Kuang unleashed a final blow with his Gold-Splitting Spear, channeling all his strength into its tip. He pushed the Golden Spear Piercing the Sun technique to its absolute limit, aiming for the wound on the Tyrannosaurus Rex's throat.

With Chu Kuang's current Life Level, amplified by the full power of the Gold-Splitting Spear, this strike's force surpassed seventeen tons.

An incredibly fearsome power was infused into the spear tip, akin to a giant arrow fired from a dragon-hunting ballista, piercing the Tyrannosaurus Rex's throat through the existing wound.

Pfft!

With a squelching sound, blood gushed onto the ground.

Chu Kuang withdrew his broad spear blade, letting the Tyrannosaurus Rex wail and fall, watching with his own eyes as it breathed its last.
