This time, I won again.

"What! Extreme Strength!"

"This... this is Extreme Strength!"

"Heavens! This martial academy genius named Lin Yi actually comprehended Extreme Strength at the age of fourteen?"

"This, this is too monstrous!"

As the two deans on the viewing platform were shocked, on the surrounding spectator stands, various discerning nobles also recognized the Extreme Strength Realm contained within Lin Yi's blade. They all cried out in surprise.

Extreme Strength! This was a martial realm that only fifth-grade martial artists could comprehend. Even many fifth-grade martial artists had failed to comprehend it!

Yet now, Lin Yi, a mere fourteen-year-old boy, had comprehended it. How monstrous was this?

Such a genius was something many people had never seen even in their entire lives.

"Extreme Strength?"

On stage, hearing the shocked exclamations from all around, Wang Kai also reacted. He first looked at Lin Yi in disbelief, then after a moment of stunned silence, a wry smile couldn't help but appear on his face:

"Extreme Strength, impressive! Truly impressive! I never expected Lin Yi, you would comprehend such a profound martial realm so quickly."

"Although ever since you opened your Apertures, I knew that with your talent, you would eventually comprehend Extreme Strength, I thought that no matter how monstrous you were, since you opened your Apertures not long ago, you would at least wait until next year to reach this stage?"

"I never imagined I still underestimated you! You are even stronger than I imagined!"

"What? Wang Kai, are you losing confidence after saying so much? Do you want to surrender to me now?"

Hearing this, Lin Yi chuckled, teasing him.

"Surrender to you?"

Hearing this, Wang Kai also laughed:

"How is that possible! Lin Yi, don't underestimate me either. Your strength is indeed terrifying after comprehending Extreme Strength, but I, Wang Kai, am not made of mud!"

"I am at least at the mid-sixth-grade strength. Plus, I heard that those who have just entered Extreme Strength cannot unleash it many times if their physical strength is not enough, so whether you can defeat me today is still debatable."

"Moreover, you didn't surrender to me before, so how could I, Wang Kai, surrender to you now?"

"Come on! Lin Yi, if you want to defeat me, show me your full strength. I want to see how powerful you, this master of Extreme Strength, truly are!"

"Good! Since that's the case, then, as you wish!"

Lin Yi nodded, then stomped his foot.

"Boom!"

A loud noise erupted. On the bluestone stage, as Lin Yi exerted his strength, his entire body instantly became like a grasshopper holding a long saber, slashing towards Wang Kai at extreme speed.

After a brief rest, Lin Yi unleashed another powerful strike.

The cold, sharp saber tore through the void with immense power and speed, leaving a dazzling saber glow in its wake.

Seeing this terrifying saber glow, Wang Kai's breath hitched, but his powerful fighting spirit compelled him to raise his greatsword and unleash a fearsome sword move in a flash.

Great Mountain Splitting Sword Technique, Seventh Form—Sword Sweeps Mountains and Rivers!

"Boom!"

The sword light swept out like a diagonally descending great axe, fiercely clashing against the brilliant saber light.

"Clang!"

Sword and saber collided, and Wang Kai was once again pushed back by Lin Yi without any suspense.

"Again!"

Defeated in one move, Wang Kai's face flushed, his blood surging. He then swung his greatsword again, launching a sword attack at Lin Yi.

Unable to unleash his full power this time, Lin Yi didn't meet the attack head-on. Instead, he spun his saber and employed the strongest defensive move from the Bright Moon Saber Art, "Perfect Moon," to parry Wang Kai's terrifying assault.

"Boom!"

The air exploded. Under Wang Kai's powerful sword strike, Lin Yi was once again sent flying without suspense.

However, he was merely sent flying. Although Lin Yi's strength was significantly inferior to Wang Kai's when he couldn't unleash his full power, he could still withstand a few moves by relying on the defensive prowess of the Bright Moon Saber Art. He couldn't be defeated in a single blow.

"Haha! Again!"

"Again!"

On the stage, Wang Kai laughed, growing more excited as he pressed his advantage against Lin Yi.

And so...

"Clang clang clang!"

"Boom boom boom!"

The stage echoed with the sounds of clashing weapons and exploding air as Lin Yi and Wang Kai battled fiercely.

One unleashed explosive power, while the other possessed strong sustained output. Their clash was like a battle between dragons and tigers, evenly matched, leaving the surrounding audience gasping in amazement and thoroughly entertained.

"Strong! Strong! Strong! So strong! Is this the true strength of the top geniuses in Guangling Commandery? They are truly too strong!"

"Terrifying! Absolutely terrifying! I can hardly imagine that the two fighting on stage are just two boys who have barely turned fourteen. If I hadn't seen their young faces, I would believe anyone who told me they were seasoned experts! Compared to them, my entire life has been wasted!"

"Brother Li! Let's commoners not compare ourselves to such geniuses! Not just us, but how many of the top nobles and experts present, high officials and dignitaries, can compare to these two geniuses? Both of them are destined to enter the Tianshan Sect and become important figures!"

"Especially that Lin Yi, at only fourteen years old, he can already comprehend the Extreme Force. In my opinion, as long as nothing unexpected happens, he will almost certainly achieve the Fourth Rank, and even have a chance to become the top expert in our Guangling Commandery!"

"Exactly! These two are truly too powerful!"

The merchants and nobles exclaimed one after another.

At this moment, Lin Yi and Wang Kai, who had already exchanged over three hundred moves, finally entered the white-hot stage of their battle.

"Great Mountain Splitting Sword Technique—Mountain Shatter!"

On the stage, Wang Kai once again slashed at Lin Yi with his sword, as if intending to split Lin Yi off the stage entirely.

However, just then, due to the intense burst of over a thousand moves combined, his greatsword suddenly faltered.

"Good opportunity!"

Seeing this, Lin Yi's eyes flashed with brilliance, and without hesitation, he unleashed the Extreme Force.

"Boom!"

Layers of air were directly split apart. At this moment, the air in front of Lin Yi instantly formed a blade-like energy wave around his saber.

The energy wave enveloped Lin Yi, making him appear as if he had transformed into a colossal heavenly blade, slashing towards Wang Kai.

"Not good!"

Seeing this move, Wang Kai's expression changed. He quickly turned his greatsword, switching from offense to defense, attempting to block Lin Yi's fatal blow.

But this saber strike was too fast! Too fierce! Even with Wang Kai's full defensive effort, he was still a hair's breadth short.

"Whoosh!"

The two figures crossed paths, and a cold saber light grazed Wang Kai's temple, cutting off a lock of his black hair, just like their previous spar at Training Ground Number One when they broke through.

"Sorry, Wang Kai, this time, I won again."

Seeing this, Lin Yi turned his head and looked at the somewhat dazed Wang Kai, a faint smile on his face.
