High Martial Arts: Grinding for the Supreme Talent

Chapter 459: Chapter 441: Face-slapping

Jin Zhongyu, an SS-level genius and a third-year student from the Silla Kingdom.

His Awakened Special Ability was [Gale].

It granted him unparalleled, wind-like speed, making him a top-level genius similar to Miyamoto Genichiro.

As a third-year, his Realm had already reached the Sixth Realm, and he had even mastered a Little Divine Power.

He was even stronger than Miyamoto Genichiro of Japan.

Among the 1,000 contestants, he was a genius who could rank in the top one hundred.

Yet now, in the third round, he was matched against Lin Qi.

In his view, it was Lin Qi who was unlucky to have been matched with him.

WHOOSH!!

Jin Zhongyu was wreathed in gusts of invisible Gale. The Sharp Sword in his hand was also covered by Gale Force, which condensed into an azure sword gleam.

He swung his Sharp Sword, unleashing several streaks of the sword gleam, each one a high concentration of Gale Force and Power.

WHOOSH!!

They instantly tore through the air, slashing toward Lin Qi.

At the same time, he also moved, transforming into a gust of Gale as he charged forward.

He had said he would pierce Lin Qi’s chest with his Sharp Sword within ten seconds, and he would absolutely do it.

VMMMM!!

At that very moment, a Golden Light erupted from Lin Qi’s body, and golden, tadpole-like patterns appeared on his exposed skin.

His Special Ability, [Jin Feng], was unleashed from within him.

Golden specks of light appeared, transforming into Golden Sharpness, and finally condensed into countless small, Sharp Blades.

He held the Black Great Spear in his right hand and waved his left hand forward.

All the Golden Sharpness gathered together, forming a massive Golden Blade that shot forth.

It collided with the azure sword gleam released by Jin Zhongyu in mid-air.

BANG! BANG! BANG!!!

The air exploded as the two sides clashed for the first time.

A fierce gale raged. Facing the attack, the Golden Blade was unstoppable, slicing all of the sword gleams in two.

The azure sword gleams dissipated into a fierce wind.

The Golden Blade, however, continued onward.

At the same time, Lin Qi also moved. His leg muscles exploded with power, and he pounced like an agile golden tiger.

Golden Strength condensed into a thin layer of golden armor on his body—the Body Protection technique from the Vajra Fist Five Techniques.

He transformed into a streak of black lightning, instantly flashing across the sky.

The Black Great Spear in his hand was also enveloped in Golden Sharpness, which condensed to form a spear gleam.

BANG!!

Facing the Golden Blade that tore through the air, Jin Zhongyu swung his Longsword and shattered it.

BAM!

The Golden Sharpness broke into specks of golden light, which then reformed into Sharp Blades and shot out.

BAM! BAM!!

Under the powerful impact, Jin Zhongyu was forced to a halt and even took two steps back.

’How is this possible?’

Jin Zhongyu was shocked.

It was almost the exact same technique, yet he, like his junior Song Zhengzai, couldn’t withstand it.

At this thought, a strong sense of danger washed over him.

Without further hesitation, he directly activated his Little Divine Power!

BOOM!!

In an instant, the power hidden within his body was unleashed. His Qi Blood surged, veins bulged on his skin, and his entire body shone with a brilliant azure light.

The air around him seemed to twist as the power of the wind condensed to an extreme degree.

The surrounding airflow became chaotic, fully mobilized by his power.

SWOOSH~

Lin Qi could feel the aura around Jin Zhongyu intensify. The surrounding Gale acted like invisible Sharp Blades, clashing against his own Golden Sharpness.

In the air, the Golden Sharpness and the Gale continued to collide.

’This is it!’

An endless stream of immense power surged forth, filling Jin Zhongyu with intense confidence once again.

Now, when he looked at Lin Qi, his every move seemed to be in slow motion.

’I’ll kill him in one fell swoop!’

He brandished his sword. The immense Power in his body erupted like a storm, gathering and fusing with his Gale Force.

It condensed once more into an azure sword gleam, and gusts of Gale swirled around his body.

VMMMM!!

His body shot out like a gust of Gale, shuttling through space.

After activating his Little Divine Power, his physical attributes had increased dramatically.

His speed, in particular, had seen the most exaggerated improvement.

In the eyes of the audience, Jin Zhongyu’s speed had suddenly skyrocketed.

”Senior has activated his Little Divine Power! He’s sure to win!!”

In the Silla Kingdom’s spectator stands, many people erupted into a frenzy upon seeing Jin Zhongyu’s imposing aura, their shouts and cheers exploding forth.

Jin Zhongyu was starting to display his divine might, on the verge of turning defeat into victory.

On the screens projected above the arena, bullet comments flew wildly.

Only the audience from Xia Country was also posting sarcastic comments.

”Getting all worked up over a measly Little Divine Power? Can’t you see Jin Zhongyu is the one at a disadvantage?”

”It’s just a desperate struggle. With Lin Qi’s strength, he could crush this Jin Zhongyu with one hand.”

”Couldn’t stand that guy from the start.”

...

On the arena stage, Lin Qi’s expression was calm as he mobilized even greater power.

His body trembled as power poured out from within him in a ceaseless flow.

Golden Strength flowed to the tip of his spear. He swung the weapon in a sudden horizontal sweep, carrying the force of a landslide.

Gripping the great spear with both hands, veins bulging all over his body, he fully mobilized every ounce of his strength.

Every muscle, even his Inner Organs, contributed to the strike. The great spear, wrapped in Golden Sharpness, tore through space in a downward slash, its momentum like that of mountains and rivers collapsing.

Mountain and River Spear Technique—Mountain and River Collapse.

The Mountain and River Realm also manifested around him.

Seeing this, the eyes of the King of Mountains and Rivers, who was in the audience, lit up.

”Excellent Spear Technique!”

...

Jin Zhongyu brandished his Longsword, unleashing an azure sword gleam as the frenzied Gale Mental Realm emerged from his body.

WHOOSH!!

The azure sword gleam pierced through the air, carrying a fierce wind with its thrust.

Tornado Swordsmanship—Gale Stab!

BANG!!

In the center of the arena, their Special Energies collided first, followed by the clash of their Weapons.

CLANG!!

The impact of their Weapons striking each other created a shower of sparks.

The collision of Jin Feng and Gale made the air tremble, and the shockwave blasted both of them.

An excited smile appeared on Jin Zhongyu’s face.

’He felt incredibly powerful now. Lin Qi of Xia Country would absolutely not be able to withstand his attack.’

He could already picture his sword gleam piercing through Lin Qi’s Golden Sharpness, his Longsword running through his heart.

’It has already been more than ten seconds, but that doesn’t matter. As long as I win, it’ll be fine.’

BAM!!

The instant they collided, a searing pain instantly shattered his thoughts.

Agonizing pain traveled up from the blade of his sword as a terrifying force was transmitted into his body.

It was a pure, overwhelming power, as if mountains and rivers were crashing down upon him.

The intense pain twisted his face. His body went numb, and he was sent flying through the fierce wind like a broken sack.

THUD!!

His body slammed heavily onto the arena stage. He collapsed like a boneless heap, as limp as mud.

Jin Zhongyu felt as if every bone in his body had been shattered. A sharp pain stabbed at his heart, and then there was nothing. In his Perception, he knew it had been pulverized by the Power of the blow.

In that clash, even with his Little Divine Power, he was utterly unable to withstand a single spear strike from Lin Qi.

”How could this be...”

Soon, Jin Zhongyu’s body, lying on the ground, dissipated into the void.

The system had determined that he was dead.

He was quickly teleported back to the spectator stands.

The fierce wind on the arena stage dissipated, and calm was restored.
