Sixth Rank! Extreme Strength!

"Boom!"

Wang Kai shouted, and in an instant, his aura surged explosively.

His powerful blood and qi churned the surrounding air, creating visible waves of energy extending several feet around him.

"Six... Sixth Rank!"

"Wang Kai, he actually broke through to the Sixth Rank!"

On the training ground, the disciples of the Martial Academy cried out in unison, their eyes filled with shock.

"This kid from the Wang Family, breaking through to the Sixth Rank at fourteen years old, what talent..."

From the surrounding spectator stands, the influential figures from various major powers were also stunned.

The Sixth Rank was a completely different level from the Seventh Rank!

The latter belonged to the lower three ranks of the Martial Arts Nine Ranks. With enough resources, even a cripple could be pushed to the peak of this level.

The former, however, belonged to the middle three ranks. Without talent, no amount of resources could help one break through.

The gap between these two was even greater than the gap between an ordinary person and a Seventh-Rank martial artist. Yet, Wang Kai had broken through to the Sixth Rank at just fourteen years old—he had the potential of a Fourth-Rank Martial Artist!

"Heh heh! This young fellow from the Wang Family has decent physical talent."

On the central viewing platform, seeing Wang Kai's explosive qi and blood, the Dean in green robes and Li You also smiled.

"Breaking through to the Sixth Rank at fourteen, with such physical talent, if nurtured properly, he can at least reach the mid-Sixth Rank by the time the Tianshan Sect holds its disciple assessment next year. With a bit of luck, he might even reach the late Sixth Rank."

"Even if he hasn't comprehended Extreme Strength, he'll have a high chance of being accepted into the Tianshan Sect then."

"And with this Lin Yi, if he truly has awakened his potential, he also has a great chance of entering the Tianshan Sect during next year's disciple assessment."

"Heh heh! Could it be that our Guangling Martial Academy, after seven years without a prodigy, is now going to produce two peerless geniuses at once?"

At this, the Dean and Li You both laughed.

On the viewing platform, other high-ranking officials of the Guangling Martial Academy also smiled, each offering auspicious words.

"Congratulations, Dean! Congratulations, Vice Principal! Under the leadership of our esteemed Deans, our Guangling Martial Academy is indeed flourishing with an endless stream of geniuses. Lin Yi and Wang Kai's talents are extraordinary; I believe they will both be accepted into the Tianshan Sect next year."

"You speak wisely, Grand Coordinator Wang! Our Guangling Martial Academy hasn't produced a peerless genius in seven years, and now we should have two in succession."

"Once Lin Yi and Wang Kai are both admitted to the sect, I'd like to see which of the other county city martial academies that mocked us will dare to speak nonsense! The sect will surely issue commendations as well."

"Grand Supervisor Sun speaks the truth. In my opinion..."

On the viewing platform, the academy's high-ranking officials were showering praise.

Meanwhile, on the stage, Wang Kai, who had fully unleashed his qi and blood, was brimming with confidence. He smiled at Lin Yi and said, "How about it, Lin Yi? I told you, you can't win against me today."

"With my cultivation at the early Sixth Rank and my Great Mountain Splitting Sword Technique at Great Accomplishment, my strength is now considered formidable even among mid-Sixth Rank martial artists."

"With this power, no matter how strong your Perfect Moon defense is, you won't be able to block me. Surrender!"

"Surrender?"

Hearing this, Lin Yi's expression remained calm. He still shook his head slightly and said, "Wang Kai, the word 'surrender' isn't in my vocabulary. If you want to defeat me, show me your true skills."

"Besides, although you've broken through to the Sixth Rank, it's still unknown who will emerge victorious in this battle today."

"As expected of Lin Yi, you truly have ambition. I didn't misjudge you."

Wang Kai wasn't angered by this. Instead, he smiled and nodded in praise. "Good! Since you wish to fight me, I shall grant your wish. Take this!"

If you find this book to your liking, please add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it next time.

"Boom!"

As soon as he finished speaking, an astonishing explosion of qi erupted.

On the stage, Wang Kai once again raised his greatsword with both hands and swung it down at Lin Yi, as if splitting the heavens and earth like Pangu.

This sword strike was still the familiar first form of the Great Mountain Splitting Sword Technique, "Mountain Splitting Strike." It was still straightforward and ferociously powerful.

However, compared to before, this strike was at least a level higher in both power and speed.

If the previous strike was one that few in the late Seventh Rank could withstand, then this strike was one that few in the peak Seventh Rank could block!

This was a sword strike powerful enough to sweep aside almost all Seventh-Rank martial artists, its momentum and might were incredibly formidable!

"This strike was delivered by a fourteen-year-old boy? Terrifying!"

"Sixth-Rank martial artists are indeed powerful! How long can Lin Yi's defense, though strong, hold up against such a terrifying attack? Thirty breaths? Twenty breaths? Or even less?"

"Yeah! Sixth-Rank martial artists are truly amazing!"

Witnessing Wang Kai's fearsome sword strike, the audience below the stage buzzed with discussion.

This time, no one favored Lin Yi. After all, the gap between the Sixth and Seventh Ranks was too vast, so large that conventional means couldn't bridge it. They couldn't imagine what capital Lin Yi had left to turn the tide.

"It seems the outcome of this battle will be decided soon."

On the viewing platform, Li You chuckled upon seeing this:

"For this Entrance Examination, it seems Wang Kai will be first, and Lin Yi second."

"Indeed! The result should be just like that."

The old man in green also nodded in agreement:

"Lin Yi, this young fellow, might have higher potential than Wang Kai, but for now, his strength is still inferior to Wang Kai's."

"In my opinion, Wang Kai will defeat him within twenty breaths at most…"

"BOOM!"

On the viewing platform, before the old man in green could finish speaking, the next moment he heard a terrifying, astonishing explosion suddenly ring out beside his ears.

The old man in green focused his gaze and saw that on the stage, Lin Yi, who had seemed like a lone boat in a vast ocean, about to capsize at any moment under Wang Kai's fearsome sword strike, had suddenly attacked.

His long saber was still the same long saber as before!

His move was still the same move as before!

But at this moment, the power and speed of the long saber in Lin Yi's hand had surged explosively at an unbelievable rate.

In almost an instant, its might far surpassed Wang Kai's!

Finally, it fiercely struck Wang Kai's greatsword.

"CLANG!"

Blade met sword, and a sound like a great bell or a grand drum immediately echoed throughout the entire stage.

The next moment, under the incredulous gazes of everyone, Wang Kai, who had been charging ferociously, was actually sent flying by Lin Yi's saber strike at a speed even faster than he had arrived. He retreated more than ten meters before finally stopping.

"What! I, I this…!"

On the stage, Wang Kai looked at the greatsword in his hands, his eyes full of disbelief.

And on the viewing platform.

"Bang! Bang!"

Two sounds of tables being slammed echoed. The Dean, the old man in green, and Li You suddenly stood up from their seats. Their eyes, which already held a sharp glint, now seemed to shine as they stared intently at Lin Yi below, their gazes filled with endless shock and ecstatic joy. Then, almost simultaneously, they slowly uttered two words:

"Force! Limit!"
