Chapter 313: Chapter 313: Defeating Senior Brother Li Qing

”So fast?”

Li Qing was the most shocked of all. He stared at Lin Qi in disbelief.

”Junior Brother, I was stuck for a whole month on this! I only managed to master it after getting pointers from Senior Sister every now and then.”

”It’s only been a little over a month since I broke through, and you’ve already broken through too?”

”Isn’t your speed a little too fast?”

Lin Qi replied humbly, ”I was also stuck for several days before I finally mastered it.”

Li Qing looked at Lin Qi with a complicated expression. ’Do you even hear yourself talking?’

His teacher, Mu Hong, and his senior sister, Wang Zixuan, also recovered from their surprise.

Mu Hong let out a breath, his feelings mixed. ’As expected, I’ve underestimated Lin Qi yet again.’

The boy had never followed common sense. Looking at the calm-faced Lin Qi, he slowly spoke.

”Li Qing, you and Lin Qi will have a sparring match.”

”It’s a good chance to test Lin Qi’s current Spear Technique!”

”You got it!”

Upon hearing this, Li Qing quickly selected a white Training Lance from the weapon rack and said:

”Junior Brother, let’s have a friendly match between us martial brothers!”

Lin Qi also took a white Training Lance from the rack and replied:

”Alright!”

”Senior Brother, please guide me!”

Mu Hong and Wang Zixuan stepped back to give the two space.

Li Qing, dressed in white, assumed a single-handed Middle Level Spear stance, while Lin Qi, in his black Martial Arts Uniform, faced him with a high-level spear stance.

”Begin!” Mu Hong announced in a clear voice.

”Watch out, Junior Brother! I won’t be holding back!”

”SWOOSH~”

As soon as Li Qing finished speaking, his figure blurred into motion. His agile body became a phantom as his Long Spear cut through the air like a meteor streaking across the sky.

”WHOOSH~”

’So fast!’

Lin Qi had to admit that Senior Brother Li Qing’s Spear Technique style was the most similar to their teacher, Mu Hong’s.

Facing the attack, he bent his knees, rooting himself to the ground like an old tree, as steady as a rock.

”SHIING~”

Li Qing used his full strength, not daring to hold back. ’It would be too humiliating to lose to my own junior brother.’

’I have to play to my strengths and catch him off guard with my fastest attack.’

He exerted his strength, his body vibrating as Power gathered at the tip of his spear.

The spear tip flickered like starlight, piercing the air!

*Starlight Spear Technique*—Meteor Piercing!

”BANG!”

In an instant, their lances clashed in mid-air.

Lin Qi swung his Training Lance to intercept the blow.

The moment they engaged, both began to unleash their Power in an invisible clash.

Lin Qi could feel a tremor in his arms as waves of Power, like sharp needles, pricked at his muscles and blood vessels.

This Power was more subtle and damaging than the Meteor Force from the *Meteor Spear Technique*, and it also possessed its own Attribute.

This gave the Power a stronger piercing capability.

If not countered by one’s own Power, it could instantly rupture blood vessels, rendering the body incapable of resisting.

In just a moment, he felt a sharp pain in his arm.

However, Lin Qi unleashed his own Mountain Shaking Power to counter it.

Li Qing’s expression changed slightly. He felt a vast and majestic Power, like countless sharp Weapons rampaging together.

”BOOM!!”

The moment his Power collided with it, it was shattered. The remaining Power surged down the shaft of the spear and into his body.

The intense pain made his arms go numb. The web between his thumb and forefinger ached, and his Qi and Blood churned.

He couldn’t stop himself from stumbling back several steps before regaining his balance. In contrast, Lin Qi was as steady as a rock, not moving an inch.

”This...”

Li Qing was in disbelief. ’We’ve only just begun trading blows, and I’m already at a complete disadvantage?’

”Junior Brother’s physical constitution...”

Wang Zixuan sucked in a sharp breath.

”The difference in physical constitution between Lin Qi and Li Qing is too great!” Mu Hong said, shaking his head, secretly shocked.

The gap in their Qi and Blood Values wasn’t large, but the difference in their physical conditioning was much greater than he had imagined.

Lin Qi was also a bit stunned as he watched Li Qing retreat.

’Senior Brother Li Qing’s physical conditioning is a bit poor!’

’I thought I’d be the one getting suppressed.’

”Again!”

Feeling a little embarrassed, Li Qing swung the white Long Spear in his hand and launched another attack.

This time, he executed his Body Technique, which seemed to merge with his Spear Technique, transforming him into a silver star as he thrust his Long Spear forward.

The Flow of Power covered the spear’s shaft. As he danced with the Long Spear, its tip trembled, creating a multitude of afterimages that glittered like a field of stars.

At the same time, Power separated from the spear, shooting out like sharp arrows along with the spear tip.

Dance of a Thousand Stars!

Seeing this, Lin Qi stepped forward, swinging his Training Lance in wide, sweeping motions.

Although countless spear afterimages flickered before him, Li Qing’s movements seemed to slow down in his eyes.

And he could clearly sense the arrow-like Power Separation mixed in with the attacks.

The Flow of Power circulated within his body, and a sharp aura radiated from him.

Power coated his lance. He also thrust out, his wrist snapping as he unleashed dozens of stabs in an instant.

His Power shot out as well!

”BANG! BANG!!”

”WHOOSH~”

The two engaged in a fierce collision. The air vibrated with explosive sounds, stirring up gusts of wind that blew at Mu Hong’s and Wang Zixuan’s hair and clothes.

Li Qing’s face was grim. He combined his body’s muscles, strength, and Power, perfectly integrating his Body Technique and Spear Technique.

He perfectly unleashed his full strength, like bursts of starlight Tearing through the air as they fell.

But Lin Qi easily blocked every single attack.

A sharp pain shot through his arms. His muscles felt torn, numb, and swollen, and they trembled uncontrollably.

It was already affecting his performance.

’How can Junior Brother be this strong?’

He was horrified. He was certain his Qi and Blood Value, Spear Technique, and Body Technique were superior.

But the result of the battle was completely different. The gap was even wider than he had imagined.

As much as he hated to admit it, the truth was that he was no match for him at all.

’This is supposed to be a sparring match, but it’s really just Lin Qi completely crushing me.’

”BANG!”

”CRACK!”

The two Training Lances clashed again, but this time, the shafts could no longer withstand the force of their blows. The cylindrical bodies shattered from within.

”SNAP!”

Cracks formed all over them before they finally broke into two pieces, each half flying off and landing on the soft mats.

Seeing this, both Li Qing and Lin Qi stopped. Lin Qi spoke slowly:

”Senior Brother, let’s call it a day for sparring!”

Li Qing’s face flushed slightly as he nodded. ”Let’s stop here.”

’If we had kept going, I almost certainly would have lost. Junior Brother is giving me face by choosing to end the match himself.’

’It would be too humiliating to lose so openly.’

”Teacher, these Training Lances are too flimsy!” Wang Zixuan said, changing the subject.

Mu Hong nodded as well. ”They’re just Ordinary Training Lances, after all. They can’t withstand the force and Power of a Fourth Realm Martial Artist!”

Then he looked at the two of them and said:

”Lin Qi, your Spear Technique has reached Tier Three Mid-stage, and you’ve mastered the second Killing Technique. I have nothing to worry about for the Global Freshman Tournament.”

”I’ll be leaving the school for the battlefield tomorrow.”

”I hope to hear good news about you from the battlefield.”

”If you make it to the finals, I’ll go online to watch.”

”He will!” Li Qing said confidently.

’Even I, a top-level sophomore genius, am no match for Lin Qi now, let alone anyone else.’

”I have faith in our junior brother too,” Wang Zixuan nodded.

”Teacher, I will do my absolute best!”

”I won’t let you down!” Lin Qi nodded earnestly.

...

Half an hour later, the class was dismissed.

Only Mu Hong remained in the Martial Arts Room, recalling the spar from earlier.

He felt a mix of awe and pride.

Awe at Lin Qi’s Talent. The boy seemed to have no limits, challenging his understanding time and time again.

’Even without being Awakened, his future is limitless.’

’And I’m proud that such a genius is my disciple. In the future, everyone will envy me.’

...

Outside Cangjing Building, Li Qing and Wang Zixuan were riding the tram back to their dorms.

Li Qing looked up at the sky and sighed.

”Junior Brother is a real monster. Before I knew it, he had already surpassed me.”

”Fighting him is like facing an insurmountable, towering mountain. I couldn’t move him an inch no matter how hard I tried.”

”There’s always someone better out there.”

”A genius like our junior brother has really opened my eyes.”

Wang Zixuan smiled. ”Isn’t that a good thing?”

”No matter how much of a genius he is, he’s still our junior brother. I believe it won’t be long before he surpasses me, too.”

”With a genius like our junior brother in Xia Country, our hopes of fending off the Calamity Beasts in the future are even greater.”

Li Qing clenched his fists. ”That’s right!”

”I hope Junior Brother can win the championship at the Global Freshman Tournament and keep getting stronger!”

...

Half an hour later, Lin Qi returned to his private villa, No. 01.

He stood on the soft mats in his Martial Arts Room, swinging his own black training lance.

His mind replayed the spar with Senior Brother Li Qing.

He had originally expected a head-on clash.

After all, Senior Brother Li Qing was no nameless nobody; he was an A-level Talent signed with the Red Dome Martial Arts Dojo.

He was also a top-thirty genius among the sophomores.

And he had a whole extra year of Cultivation on him.

But from the very first exchange, his only impression was... weakness.

’Too weak!’

’There was none of the sense of crisis I felt when fighting Xiang Long. That guy had an intense Sharpness, he was fast, powerful, and his special Power rampaged like blades.’

’The moment I exerted even a little force, Senior Brother Li Qing couldn’t handle it at all.’

He thought it over for a moment, and after a brief analysis, he realized the result wasn’t surprising.

’Senior Brother Li Qing is, after all, just an A-level Talent. His physical gifts and Comprehension aren’t that much greater than others.’

’Once I caught up to him in Qi Blood and Martial Arts, he lost all his advantages.’

’He’s like the opponents I insta-killed in the National Freshman Tournament. He might even be a little weaker than Mao Jia was back then.’

’After all, Mao Jia was an S-class Talent.’

Lin Qi thought to himself that his strength had, without him realizing it, already reached the very top tier among the sophomores.

Among the sophomores, aside from the S-class Talents or the geniuses from the Tenth Institute who had Awakened a Special Ability, no one else was his match anymore.

...

「April 24th, the day before the Global Freshman Tournament.」

In the vice dean’s office of Cangjing Building, at the Azure Sky Sixth Institute.

Dean Liu was multitasking, feeding the pet fish in his tank while his eyes were fixed on the projected screen in front of him.

’Old Mu has already left for the North River Province battlefield!’

’The addition of an Eighth Realm Martial Artist should relieve a great deal of pressure.’

’But for him to leave now... doesn’t that mean Lin Qi has already mastered his second Killing Technique?’

Dean Liu paused, then let out a breath and broke into a smile.

’What a fine breakthrough!’

’The upcoming Global Freshman Tournament will be all the more exciting.’

Thinking this, he sprinkled the food in his hand into the fish tank, and all the pet fish scrambled to devour it.
