On the Battlefield, You Would Already Be Dead

"I'll serve as the referee and witness."

"This is a battle with 50,000 Xia Guo Bi on the line!" Zhang Cheng announced loudly.

"Now, both students, take up your weapons!"

"This is going to be good!"

The onlookers eagerly waited for the drama to unfold.

"Who do you think will win?" someone suddenly asked.

"Hard to say. Lin Qi and Yang Lei are extremely close in the grade ranking. Their strength should be about the same."

"This will probably be another evenly matched fight."

"Yuelin, who do you think will win between them?"

In a corner, two girls stood together, both exceptionally beautiful.

One of them was tall and slender, with delicate features. She was Qi Yuelin, known as the Sword Sparrow.

Facing her friend's question, she shook her head. "I can't tell."

Her friend was also beautiful, with large, lovely eyes and a curvaceous figure. She was Zhu Yuqi, Lin Qi's former classmate.

She was also currently ranked fifth at No. 2 High School. She voiced her opinion:

"I think Yang Lei might win."

"Lin Qi ranks first among us martial arts students in cultural studies."

"His martial arts strength might not be that impressive."

Qi Yuelin nodded. "That makes sense!"

"Qi Ge, I believe in you! Teach Yang Lei a good lesson and let off some steam."

Lin Qi took down his training spear while Jiang Tao cheered him on from the side.

"Don't worry. He's bound to lose!"

Lin Qi spoke in a low voice. Jiang Tao shuddered, suddenly feeling an inexplicable chill.

In the open space at the center, Yang Lei gripped his long spear and faced Lin Qi. Both of them trained with spears.

The Martial Arts Classroom fell silent, with only the sound of breathing audible.

Yang Lei stared at Lin Qi and thought to himself:

Lin Qi doesn't even have the build for it, yet he insists on practicing the Mountain Shattering Spear Technique. He's practically courting death!

Today, I'll teach him how spear techniques are really practiced.

After saying that, he glanced at Zhang Cheng again.

I'll prove that I'm the stronger genius.

Zhang Cheng watched the two of them, eagerly anticipating the fight.

"Lin Qi, let me see what you've got!"

A few seconds later, he loudly announced:

"The battle begins!"

"Ha!"

Yang Lei shouted and launched himself forward like an arrow, both arms exerting force as the long spear in his hands swept out fiercely.

He unleashed his spear technique, the spear tip flashing with a cold gleam.

He stabbed out repeatedly at incredible speed!

Jiang Tao, standing among the crowd, inwardly cursed. Yang Lei had attacked first and seized the initiative.

Lin Qi's expression remained as calm as ever. He knew Yang Lei's spear technique better than anyone. Like him, Yang Lei practiced the fierce and domineering Mountain Shattering Spear Technique.

Yang Lei swung his long spear and launched several consecutive strikes in an instant.

Cloud Piercing!

Lin Qi's gaze sharpened. The trajectory of the spear technique appeared before his eyes as he pushed off with his feet and began to move.

Left!

He quickly tilted his head one centimeter to the right, narrowly avoiding the long spear.

Horizontal Cut!

He instantly crouched down, evading the attack again.

Whirlwind!

Lin Qi shifted his footing and took a step aside, dodging once more. He had successfully evaded Yang Lei's attacks three times in a row.

"What?"

"How is that possible?"

Many of the onlookers' expressions changed, while Yang Lei's heart jolted. How was that possible? Lin Qi had actually dodged his consecutive attacks, even though he had already used his full strength.

"I don't believe it!"

Yang Lei launched another fierce assault, exerting force with both arms as the muscles throughout his body bulged.

He stood nearly one meter ninety-five tall, massive and powerfully built. As he exerted himself, veins protruded across his body, his blood accelerated, and his entire face turned red.

He resembled a huge bear emerging from its den.

His entire aura erupted as he swung his great spear with fierce momentum.

He thrust the long spear forward with tremendous force.

Collapse Thrust!

Seeing this, Lin Qi finally swung his long spear. He used the same Mountain Shattering Spear Technique.

He drew upon the strength of the large muscles throughout his body, exerting force in an instant. The spear body shook and hummed, and in the next moment, the long spear shot out as its spear tip traced a circle.

Whirlwind Break!

The two Long Spears collided in midair, accompanied by howling strong wind.

"Clang, clang, clang—"

Force passed between the Long Spears.

From Jiang Tao's perspective, Lin Qi looked like a wolf facing a ferocious tiger when compared to Yang Lei, smaller by an entire size. Yet he calmly blocked Yang Lei's spear strikes with ease.

An invisible aura also erupted from Lin Qi's body.

"Clang, clang, clang—"

"Too slow. Too slow!"

"With your speed, how are you supposed to hunt Calamity Beasts on the battlefield?"

Lin Qi mocked him as he raised his great spear and swung it. Yang Lei's moves held no secrets in his eyes; he had already seen through them completely.

Yang Lei's spear technique had only reached around 70% of the First Order.

His own spear technique, meanwhile, had already broken through to 80% of the First Order. The gap was simply too great.

"Shut up!"

Yang Lei felt rage burn within him as he unleashed all the power in his body.

The long spear in his hand shot forward.

Rapid Advance!

"Good!"

Lin Qi also exerted force fiercely. His blood accelerated, his Blood Qi surged, and the vertebrae of his spine rose section by section like a great dragon. The large muscles throughout his body gathered their strength and exploded forth.

The long spear in his hands swung with overwhelming momentum.

He raised the great spear high and chopped down heavily, sending a fierce wind howling through the room.

Facing it, Yang Lei felt as if a collapsing mountain were bearing down on him, and fear involuntarily surged from within.

Mountain Shattering Spear Technique, fifth form—Soaring Leap!

"Clang—"

With a thunderous crash, the two Long Spears collided. Their Spear Bodies bent as immense force clashed between them.

"Bang!"

"Ah!"

Yang Lei's expression changed drastically. Terrifying force surged into his arms, numbing them so badly that he could no longer hold onto his long spear.

"Bang!"

Lin Qi twisted his body, gathering all his strength in his arms. Veins bulged like twisted steel cables as he swung the long spear with immense force, tracing a circle.

Basic Spear Technique—Shattering Spear!

Yang Lei's long spear instantly flew from his grasp. His body staggered backward uncontrollably before he landed hard on the padded mat.

"Whoosh!"

Lin Qi thrust out his long spear, stopping only one centimeter from Yang Lei's throat.

"Don't move!"

Yang Lei stared at the spear tip inches away. Though it had no edge, the icy killing intent it carried made him afraid to move again.

"On the battlefield, you would already be dead."

Lin Qi looked down at him and spoke coldly.

"I..."

Yang Lei looked up at Lin Qi, his body trembling uncontrollably. Anger, humiliation, unwillingness, and fear churned together within him.

In his eyes, Lin Qi was like a ferocious tiger released from its cage, baring its fangs as it prepared to hunt, making his body tremble without end.

"I announce that Lin Qi is the winner!" Zhang Cheng loudly declared the final result.

After speaking, he looked at Lin Qi with a gratified expression.

"Lin Qi has high comprehension. In his first real battle, he remained calm throughout and fully brought out the power of the Mountain Shattering Spear Technique."

"He has exceptional mental fortitude and Combat Talent. I really am liking him more and more."

"He won! Hahaha, I knew it!"

Jiang Tao was the first to burst into laughter. He pointed at Yang Lei and unleashed a barrage of insults.

"Whether it's Blood Qi, punch force, or speed, Yang Lei, you're inferior to Lin Qi in every category."

"Not to mention spear technique. You got completely crushed. You're no match for him in any respect."

"So who's the deadweight now?"

"Now you know the difference, right? Hurry up and transfer the money to Qi Ge."

After Jiang Tao finished, the others also began discussing it. Many were stunned.

"Lin Qi is really strong! He crushed Yang Lei across the board. He can't be underestimated," someone remarked.

"We really underestimated him. How did we never notice that Lin Qi was this impressive before?"

Kang Feiyue stared at Lin Qi in surprise, finding him strangely unfamiliar.

The old Lin Qi had been quiet and reserved, but the domineering Lin Qi in battle, like a ferocious tiger, was hard for him to connect with that former image.

"Damn, Yang Lei is so weak. He actually lost," Zhu Yuqi said, rather surprised.

Qi Yuelin looked at Lin Qi with a curious expression, but that was all.

He was third in the grade. In her eyes, Lin Qi's Blood Qi and spear technique were not worth mentioning.

If she had been the one fighting, she had countless ways to defeat Lin Qi with ease.
