The war spear blade shattered the scales, leaving a wound an inch deep, but failed to inflict a fatal injury.
The Tyrannosaurus Rex roared in pain and swung its massive tail sideways again. Chu Kuang had no time to pull back his spear to block and was sent flying, man and weapon alike.
"He's finished."
"Even with a Life Level as high as seven, taking that full-powered tail sweep head-on will probably leave him severely injured and unable to fight."
Among the spectators, Zhao Wu could not help sighing.
But at that instant, Chu Kuang, who had been flung backward, suddenly adjusted his posture. His war spear stabbed into the cliff wall and bent into a fierce arc. Using the shaft to disperse the force, he spun around and shot toward the Tyrannosaurus Rex like an arrow.
With Heavenly Dragon Pounces on the Moon, Chu Kuang became a streak of golden light and crossed dozens of yards. The broad spear blade trembled sharply in his hand as Golden Spear Piercing the Sun struck at the massive tyrannosaur's vulnerable throat.
"Pfft—"
The speed of Thousand Jun Formation Breaker exceeded imagination. Caught off guard, the tyrannosaur could not adjust its body in time. Its scales were instantly pierced, and the spear blade sank several inches into its neck, leaving a deep wound.
"Roar!"
In an instant, the tyrannosaur howled in pain, its roar shaking the heavens. An indescribable force surged from the tip of the spear.
Chu Kuang felt the world sway. It was as though he had been struck by a giant hammer, and he was hurled dozens of yards away. He barely managed to stab his spear into the ground, dragging a furrow more than ten yards long before stopping his retreat.
When he looked back, he saw blood spilling from the giant dragon's neck. Violent crimson light enveloped its body as it charged fiercely at Chu Kuang.
"It's berserk again."
"Unfortunately, my strength is just a little lacking."
Chu Kuang shook his head. If his strength had been thirty percent greater in that previous move, he could have pierced the dragon's carotid artery and killed it in a single strike.
Now that the tyrannosaur had gone berserk, its strength, speed, and physique had all increased dramatically. Chu Kuang would find it difficult to seize another chance to defeat it.
"Berserk mode cannot last long. I only need to stall until it ends, then I can defeat it."
Chu Kuang quickly formed a plan. He instantly struck at the Tyrannosaurus Rex with his war spear, then used the recoil to withdraw in an explosive retreat, once again widening the distance between them by dozens of yards.
The tyrannosaur pursued him relentlessly, every attack carrying the crushing force of Mount Tai bearing down. Yet Chu Kuang kept moving without engaging, relying on the instincts granted by Blood Battle in All Directions and the extreme speed of Thousand Jun Formation Breaker to keep tangling with it.
At this moment, the effects of Thousand Jun Formation Breaker finally became apparent. This movement technique sacrificed evasion and agility, but the extreme speed it granted made even the tyrannosaur unable to catch up.
Combined with the defense provided by Chu Kuang's perfected Iron Armor Technique and Iron Bell Shield, it allowed him to ignore the vast majority of attacks and threats.
So long as he did not fight the berserk Tyrannosaurus Rex head-on to the death, the damage it dealt could at most inflict minor injuries on Chu Kuang.
As the fierce battle continued, more than a dozen exchanges passed in the blink of an eye.
Seeing Chu Kuang circle without fighting, the anger in the tyrannosaur's pupils nearly solidified into substance.
It roared as it forced Chu Kuang into a corner, then suddenly drew in a deep breath before opening its mouth and releasing a heaven-shaking dragon roar.
"Boom—"
A surging blood-colored blaze erupted in an instant. Scorching dragon breath flooded dozens of yards ahead, completely engulfing Chu Kuang.
At that moment, the faces of everyone watching from the mountain changed drastically. Though they were hundreds of yards away, they could still feel the heat wave rolling toward them, and cold sweat broke out across their bodies.
"Tyrant Dragon Flame! This is a Bio-Beast that has awakened an innate treasure art. Have those people at the school gone mad? How could they arrange an opponent like this for us?"
"Perhaps what the school wants is geniuses capable of passing such a trial."
Ye Shuanghen spoke slowly, his eyes filled with incomparable shock.
As everyone trembled in alarm, Chu Kuang felt endless flames scorching his body. The blazing heat was enough to melt refined steel, and even his alloy battle armor issued a red alert.
"System scan complete. The current attack is about to exceed your endurance limit. If you cannot withstand it, the intelligent system will determine that you have been eliminated."
Facing such an attack, Chu Kuang remained exceptionally calm. He forcibly activated the powerful force of inner and outer unity, reinforcing the dual defenses of Iron Armor Technique and Golden Bell Shield.
After the battle armor scanned him again, the red alert before Chu Kuang's eyes finally turned into a yellow alert.
"You have sustained minor injuries. The rate of internal energy consumption has increased dramatically..."
Chu Kuang ignored those warnings and simply pushed his two defensive martial arts to their limit.
At last, after ten breaths of continuous burning, the blood-colored energy around the Tyrannosaurus Rex gradually faded, and it finally stopped spewing dragon flame.
Its eyes swept across the depths of the valley, as if waiting for something. As the dragon flames filling the sky gradually vanished, calm footsteps sounded from within the valley.
Everyone looked up to see a man clad in black battle armor walking slowly through the smoke. Every step he took carried an indescribable sense of oppression.
"Your berserk state is over. It seems that Tyrant Dragon Flame consumes a great deal of your strength."
"Then next comes my moment of domination."
As his words fell, Chu Kuang strode forward. Golden aura boiled around him, and the immense force born from the unity of inner and outer power fused with Golden Bell Shield and Iron Armor Technique, erupting with incomparably vast strength.
He became a streak of golden light sweeping across the ground. Heavenly Dragon Pounces on the Moon followed by Gold-Splitting formed a flawless combination attack, and its terrifying power struck the tyrannosaur's flesh, once again leaving a wound several inches deep.
This blow still could not kill it, but it was far from a minor injury for the tyrannosaur.
If Chu Kuang were allowed to keep inflicting such damage, it would not be long before the beast succumbed to grievous wounds.
In an instant, the Tyrannosaurus Rex went berserk. Its claws, massive tail, and fangs attacked in succession, but even with all that, it was still difficult for it to strike Chu Kuang under the enhancement of Blood Battle in All Directions.
It occasionally managed to hit Chu Kuang, but most of those attacks were blocked by his war spear or failed to seriously injure the peerlessly defended Chu Kuang.
After repeated fierce clashes, Chu Kuang was not uninjured either. Yet his fighting intent blazed as he treated every exchange like a battle of life and death.
Finally, after more than a hundred exchanges in this peak confrontation, dozens of spear wounds covered the Tyrannosaurus Rex's body, while its movements and strength began to decline sharply.
At last, its injuries had become too severe to sustain. Even its attacks gradually slowed.
"Die!"
Finally, Chu Kuang hesitated no longer. Gold-Splitting Spear erupted completely as all the strength in his body gathered at the spear tip. Golden Spear Piercing the Sun was driven to its limit and stabbed toward the wound in the tyrannosaur's throat.
With Chu Kuang's current Life Level, and the full enhancement of Gold-Splitting Spear, the force of this strike had already surpassed seventeen tons.
Incomparably terrifying power surged into the spear tip. Like a giant bolt fired from a dragon-hunting ballista, it pierced through the dragon's throat along the wound.
"Pfft!"
With a wet tearing sound, blood sprayed across the ground.
Chu Kuang pulled out the broad spear blade and watched as the giant dragon wailed and collapsed, witnessing with his own eyes as it breathed its last.
