High Martial Arts: Grinding for the Supreme Talent

Chapter 248: Chapter 248: Ultimate Bombardment

"You can’t possibly win!"

As Han Zhen spoke, a red glow bloomed in his pupils. A terrifying aura erupted from his imposing frame.

"Ha!"

He roared, stomping his right foot hard on the concrete ground.

BANG!

The ground shook. Unable to withstand the force, the hard concrete shattered, forming a web of cracks around a deep footprint.

SWOOSH~

He spread his arms, brandishing the Silver Battle Saber as he charged forward like a meteor.

His muscles flexed, his speed exploding. He lunged toward Lin Qi like a tiger pouncing on its prey, moving so fast he left afterimages.

The instant Lin Qi saw him, he calculated Han Zhen’s short-range burst speed. ’He’s even a little faster than I expected.’

The most crucial part was Han Zhen’s Battle Saber. A crimson light, visible to the naked eye, coated the sharp blade, imbuing its edge with scorching heat.

The friction with the air caused it to radiate outwards, sending a blast of hot wind surging toward him.

An intense killing intent washed over him. Lin Qi sensed extreme danger and decided to no longer hold back.

He too kicked off the ground with all his might. His muscles tensed, and a vast Power erupted from within him.

His figure flickered like a flash of Thunder Light. As if bolstered by an invisible force, he shot forward like an arrow released from a bow.

He brandished the Black Great Spear in his hand, his muscles bulging and veins popping as an endless stream of strength poured from his body.

The Power gathered like a surging tide. Under his precise control, every muscle began to rev like a small, high-speed engine.

He charged forward recklessly, unleashing his strongest Spear Technique—the Mountain Splitting Spear Technique.

A massive aura surged forth like a tidal wave. With a flick of the spear tip, he swung the shaft in a wide arc, his body extending as he swept it forward with immense force.

It tore through the air, letting out a piercing whistle.

It was as if he meant to sweep away all the filth between heaven and earth.

WHOOSH~

They closed the twenty-meter distance in an instant.

The Silver Battle Saber and the Black Great Spear—one silver, one black—slashed through the air and collided violently.

In this opening exchange, Han Zhen showed no carelessness, striking with his full strength from the very beginning.

Immense force erupted from his entire body as he viciously channeled his special Power into the Silver Battle Saber.

The hot wind howled. He revealed a vicious smile, planning to end the fight in three moves and take the championship.

Lin Qi did the same. He held nothing back, unleashing his full strength like a general on an ancient battlefield as he thrust out his Great Spear.

BOOM! BANG!!

The Battle Saber and the Great Spear collided. In that instant, the surrounding air was intensely compressed, then exploded outward in a transparent shockwave.

The air crackled as the two began their first clash.

At the moment of impact, Lin Qi felt a Power completely different from anyone else’s, accompanied by an immense force.

It was like a blazing Fire Dragon, tyrannical and overbearing, surging up the shaft of his spear and into his arms.

A burning pain shot through his arms, which went numb. His blood vessels ruptured, and his muscles even began to tear.

’Such strong Power!’

Lin Qi was shocked. His body, unable to resist the terrifying force, was sent stumbling backward.

THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!!

He took more than a dozen steps back before steadying himself. He frowned at Han Zhen, his arms throbbing with unbearable pain.

The sensation was like having his skin peeled back and boiling water poured into the wounds.

It had astonishingly destructive effects on his muscles, blood vessels, and Great Tendons.

’So this is the special Power that Guo Heng mentioned. The enhancement it provides to techniques is terrifying.’

’No wonder the others couldn’t even withstand two of his moves!’

Lin Qi’s brow furrowed. If this continued, his hands would be crippled in just a few more exchanges.

’This is going to be a brutal fight!’

Meanwhile, Han Zhen, who was on the other side, also showed a look of surprise at the moment their weapons collided.

A vast Power had blasted out, breaking through the defense of his own Power and rampaging unreasonably up his arms.

The impact made his arms go numb and the web of his thumb ache.

HISS~

The tyrannical force made him stumble back ten steps before he could regain his footing.

’What’s going on?’

Han Zhen was shocked. ’Lin Qi’s strength is immense! It’s almost on par with mine.’

He had a Qi and Blood Value of 79! After Awakening his Special Ability: Red Flame, his physical Talent had undergone continuous transformation.

His own strength had grown ever stronger; it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say he had Innate Divine Strength.

Even top-level geniuses with Innate Divine Strength like Huo Wanyang and Wei Peng were completely inferior to him in terms of physical Talent.

The Source Energy he cultivated came from the Lava Sparrow Evolution Technique.

This was an Evolution Technique created by the world’s number one expert, Emperor Red, and its ability to transform and temper the body was unparalleled by other Cultivation Techniques.

But now, this Lin Qi facing him—he was just an ordinary genius who hadn’t even Awakened a Special Ability!

’And his strength is barely less than mine?’

"Again!!"

Han Zhen roared as power erupted from him once more. His body tensed, and his eyes blazed with a blood-red light.

He wore a black and red Combat Suit that tightly hugged his body, and his bulging muscles made his frame look even more imposing.

The lines of his muscles were smooth, as if carved from steel. The skin on his neck flushed red, and faint crimson patterns even began to glow there.

His body temperature skyrocketed, and he radiated scorching hot air.

BANG!

He once again charged out like a meteor, swinging the Battle Saber that now pulsed with crimson Power.

His Saber Technique was exceptionally refined, forcing Lin Qi to remain vigilant. After taking a quick breath, Lin Qi also charged forward as a vast Power welled up inside him again.

"Kill!!"

A Golden Light flickered in Lin Qi’s eyes as every muscle in his body was fully activated.

He swung his Great Spear with a roar!

In the center of the ruined arena, the two clashed again in a direct, head-on confrontation, swinging their weapons with all their might.

Lin Qi pushed his physical strength to its absolute limit.

His Mountain Splitting Spear Technique was grand and sweeping with every move. This was also a rare occasion for him to use the Spear Technique with his full power since breaking through to Tier Three.

He fully displayed the fierce and domineering nature of the Spear Technique.

BANG! BANG! BANG!!

Within just a few exchanges, they had clashed several times.

Han Zhen precisely controlled his Power, blasting out scorching streams of it that seemed capable of incinerating all creation.

Lin Qi felt wave after wave of scorching Power rushing at him. The air around them compressed and exploded with each impact.

With every collision, the pain in his arms intensified. They even began to give off a scorched smell.

This Power even began to surge toward other parts of his body, and he felt a searing pain in his heart.

’This guy’s Saber Technique is incredibly refined!’

Lin Qi gritted his teeth against the pain. ’His control of Power through his Saber Technique is exquisite. His Saber Technique Realm is higher than mine.’

’He’s completely suppressing me.’

’If this keeps up, I’m sure to lose.’

...

In the audience stands, everyone was stunned.

"Lin Qi is actually fighting Han Zhen on even ground? Is this for real?"

"Am I seeing things? How is Lin Qi this strong?"

"Could this be Lin Qi’s true strength?" Countless people blinked, thinking they had seen wrong.

Instead of a one-sided slaughter, it was a clash of titans, shattering everyone’s expectations.

In the stands for Shanyu Martial Arts University,

Tan Pei’er’s eyes were wide as she craned her neck. "How is this possible?"

"How can he possibly withstand Han Zhen’s Red Flame Saber Technique?"

Nearby, Liang Yuxin, Zhong Xinyan, and Gong Hui all looked as if they had seen a ghost.

In the section for Nether Sea Martial Academy, Li Hanjiang’s face lit up with excitement when he saw this:

"I knew it! He definitely has the ability to fight Han Zhen."

Not far away, Wei Peng blinked hard and rubbed his eyes to make sure he wasn’t mistaken.
