Shattering Gold Saber Technique

[Matchmaking begins!]

This advancement match took even longer to find than Lin Qi had expected.

Lin Qi guessed that with his high win rate, it would not be easy to find a powerful opponent.

Fifteen minutes later.

By the time boredom had driven Lin Qi to practice his spear technique several times over, the match finally succeeded.

[Match found!]

Two tall figures appeared one after the other in the empty Arena, seeing each other.

Through his Black Mask, Lin Qi looked at his opponent in this advancement match.

He had a sturdy build and stood tall, with broad shoulders and a thick waist, a pair of powerful dark arms, rugged features, a red Combat Suit, and a sharp Big Blade in hand.

[Nickname: Big Blade]

Lin Qi froze when he saw him. He knew this man, and they had only just met.

This man was Guo Heng, Curly-Haired Man Lü Xiang's friend—Wu Feng.

He had never expected his opponent in this advancement match to be Wu Feng. The fact that Wu Feng could serve as his advancement match opponent spoke volumes about his strength.

When Wu Feng saw Lin Qi, he gave a disdainful laugh. "You look pretty intimidating."

"So you're Yang Jian, huh?!!"

"Looks like I'm lucky. I actually ran into you in an advancement match."

"I'll chop you to pieces with my Big Blade, advance to Star Rank, and avenge Lü Xiang while I'm at it. Killing two birds with one stone."

"You pathetic clown!"

Lin Qi spoke slowly.

"What did you say?"

"You pathetic clown!" Lin Qi repeated.

"You're courting death!" Wu Feng flew into a rage.

[3, 2, 1...]

[The match officially begins!]

The emotionless electronic female voice announced the start of the match.

"Watch me chop you apart!!"

With a roar, Wu Feng spread his arms and charged forward in huge strides. He stood over 1.95 meters tall, broad-shouldered and thick-waisted. With his full strength unleashed, he was like a charging giant bear.

The Big Blade in his hand whistled like a raging wind, and danger rushed straight at Lin Qi.

Lin Qi swung his Black Great Spear and flashed forward, sprinting wildly like a hunting leopard.

The Long Spear tore through the air, bringing a gusting howl with it as the scent of battle spread through the Arena.

In an instant, they collided at the center of the Arena, Big Blade and great spear crashing fiercely together.

Wu Feng swung his Big Blade. His Battle Saber was an Anti-War Broadsword, long and broad, over 1.2 meters in length and much wider than an ordinary Big Blade.

His two arms looked as though they had been carved from granite. He raised the Battle Saber and brought it crashing down, as if he could split everything apart.

Shattering Gold Saber Technique, Second Form—Whirling Gold Slash!

Lin Qi thrust out his Long Spear. His arms exerted force, veins bulging like steel bars coiled together as power burst forth and the spear pierced through the air.

Mountain Shattering Spear Technique, Second Form—Collapse Thrust!

"Clang clang~~"

The two were like generals charging across a battlefield, colliding head-on with fierce dominance and unstoppable momentum.

Their weapons crashed violently in midair. Both of their expressions changed slightly, though Lin Qi's was hidden behind his mask.

Still, he could feel a powerful force pass through the Long Spear and into his arms.

Wu Feng focused, secretly startled. Good heavens, he's strong too.

"Clang~~"

The tremendous force knocked both of them back several steps.

Lin Qi swung his Long Spear, exerting force through his arms to suppress the numbness. Wu Feng, like him, followed the path of strength.

The saber technique Wu Feng used was called the Shattering Gold Saber Technique. It was fierce and forceful; every slash seemed to carry Thousand Jun Strength, enough to sever and shatter steel.

Because of the Red Realm's restrictions, both of their vitality values were limited to 6.0.

They were evenly matched in strength, but Lin Qi could sense that his opponent's technical realm was slightly higher than his own.

Defeating him would not be easy.

"Good! Again!"

Wu Feng grinned and swung his saber again. His moves were not complicated—straightforward, wide, and powerful. A crushing offensive was his specialty.

He charged out again like a beast.

Seeing this, Lin Qi's blood and qi surged through his body, strength rising along with it.

He suddenly swung his Long Spear, spinning dazzling Spear Shadows through the air. The spear tip sliced through the air, stirring gust after gust of wind.

Mountain Shattering Spear Technique, Fifth Form—Soaring Leap!

In an instant, the two met once more. One above and one below, the Battle Saber and great spear collided violently.

"Bang bang bang!!"

Fierce and overbearing, powerful and forceful—the terrifying strength collided between their weapons. Saber light and Spear Shadows flashed, cold gleams shone, and sparks scattered everywhere.

"Golden Saber Horizontal Slash!"

"Golden Saber Continuous Slash!"

The two clashed repeatedly in an instant, meeting force with force and pushing their strength to the limit.

Wu Feng swung his Big Blade continuously, attacking Lin Qi like raindrops. Every slash carried astonishing destructive power.

"Strange!"

What was going on with this guy?

Wu Feng was secretly shocked. Lin Qi's Spear Technique seemed full of flaws everywhere, yet he could not break through it.

Though Wu Feng held the upper hand, he had failed to inflict any real damage.

Lin Qi's arms were numb as he swung his Long Spear to block the blows. His gaze was blazing as he frantically memorized his opponent's saber technique, searching for a flaw and an opportunity to kill him in one strike.

"Then I'll kill you with an even stronger move!"

"His Spear Technique Realm isn't as high as mine. He definitely hasn't comprehended the First Ultimate Move yet."

After thinking that, Wu Feng decided to use his Killing Move. Though he had only recently comprehended it and was still unfamiliar with it, it would be more than enough to defeat Yang Jian.

The two were knocked back once more. Wu Feng gathered his strength and swung his saber fiercely, launching his Killing Move without pause.

He swung his Big Blade without any fancy flourishes or wasted motion, pouring all his strength into the saber technique.

His momentum was fierce and tyrannical, like a pouncing beast. His saber force was like Mount Tai Pressure, as if it could cleave mountains and shatter steel!

Shattering Gold Saber Technique Killing Move—Shattering Gold Slash!

"Die!"

Wu Feng widened his eyes and unleashed the Killing Move with all his strength.

"Whoosh~"

Lin Qi's expression sharpened. Every one of Wu Feng's movements fell into his eyes.

"Now!"

In that instant, Wu Feng revealed a flaw—the moment he swung down.

Lin Qi had long been prepared. His feet exploded with force as the great spear in his hand spun into Spear Shadows, four forms rapidly executed and fused together.

He was like a tiger descending the mountain, a terrifying aura erupting from his body.

A golden gleam seemed to flash through his eyes. In his vision, a Point on Wu Feng's body seemed to be constantly moving.

In an instant, he shot forward like an arrow released from the bowstring. His blood and qi boiled as all the strength in his body poured into the Long Spear, which stabbed out with lightning speed like a surging torrent in a raging sea.

Mountain Shattering Spear Technique Killing Move—Raging Wave Shattering Thrust!

"Whoosh~"

"Pfft~"

Where the spear tip passed, the air seemed to tear apart, letting out a piercing shriek.

"What?"

Wu Feng watched as his opponent unleashed a Killing Move at lightning speed. Their speeds seemed to be on entirely different levels.

"Faster!"

Wu Feng's eyes nearly split apart as he tried to swing his Big Blade down faster.

But Lin Qi's great spear was faster. Unhindered, it arrived in an instant, passing beyond the range of Wu Feng's Big Blade and striking directly at the flaw Lin Qi had seen.

"Pfft~"

"Clang~"

The Long Spear ripped through the air, its cold gleam flashing. The instant it pierced Wu Feng's chest, the Big Blade came slashing down as well.

The Long Spear collided with the Big Blade, but at that moment, Lin Qi released his grip. The spear flew from his hand and was knocked away.

The spear tip drew blood from Wu Feng's heart. As the Long Spear struck the ground, blood splattered across the floor.

"Clang~"

Wu Feng's Big Blade fell as well, its crisp sound ringing in both their ears.

"Pfft~"

"How could this be?"

Wu Feng dropped to his knees, vomiting blood. His eyes were wide with disbelief that he had actually lost.

"You lost, pathetic clown!"

Lin Qi looked down at Wu Feng and spoke coldly.

"You..."

Wu Feng wanted to say something, but he had already turned into Void and vanished from the Arena.

Wu Feng's Personal Space.

"Ah!!"

Wu Feng clutched his head in pain. The agony of being killed left him miserable.

Of course, what hurt most was losing to Yang Jian.

"I actually lost..."

His saber technique realm had clearly been stronger than his opponent's. He had thought he would win easily and avenge his friend Lü Xiang.

Yet he still lost, and he had failed to advance to Star Rank.

Especially that "pathetic clown" from his opponent—whenever he recalled it, fury surged through him.

"Right, I still have to advance to Star Rank."

"Yang Jian, just wait. Next time, I'll definitely kill you."

Wu Feng suppressed his anger and immediately began matching for another opponent.

If he failed to advance to Star Rank by twelve o'clock, his losses would be too great.
