Invincible through Touching Corpses
Chapter 572 - 569: Successfully Reaching the TopCheng Tian used to enjoy nothing more than being the center of attention.
But at this moment, he discovered that sometimes, being the center of attention wasn’t a good thing. Right now, for instance, he would much rather be a little more low-key.
Because facing Lin Xinghai, he truly couldn’t imagine any possibility of victory.
However, with everyone’s eyes on him—the number one prodigy on the Hero Ranking—if he conceded without even putting up a fight, he would probably lose all the prestige he had built up.
’I can’t just concede,’ he thought, his gaze suddenly growing determined. ’Even if I can’t win, as long as I can wound him, I’ll be better than everyone else.’
With this in mind, he strode toward the arena.
Many people had assumed Cheng Tian would give up. Seeing this scene, their interest was instantly piqued.
"Wow, that’s Cheng Tian for you. He actually dares to go up."
"But it feels useless even if he does. He definitely can’t win. With Lin Xinghai’s Speed, which is like Instant Teleportation, he won’t even be able to touch him."
"Alright, stop arguing and just watch! Cheng Tian wouldn’t deliberately go up there to be humiliated. He must have some trick up his sleeve. Let’s just see how far he can go."
Instantly, the crowd below the stage erupted into discussion.
Even Lin Xinghai himself was now interested.
He was also curious to see if this number one on the Hero Ranking had any real skills that could cause him some trouble.
"Mr. Lin, I ask for your guidance," Cheng Tian said, his expression grave.
"No need to be so formal, Senior Cheng. We’re just sparring," Lin Xinghai replied, making a welcoming gesture.
At the same time, he was surprised to find that Cheng Tian hadn’t brought a weapon with him.
But he soon understood why. As Cheng Tian walked to the other side of the arena, a dazzling golden light emerged from his hand. The ball of light continuously twisted and warped, gradually morphing into the shape of a long spear.
This golden spear gave off an extremely sharp feeling. The shaft was covered in a Dragon Scale-like pattern. The strangest thing was that the spear didn’t seem like an inanimate object; instead, it felt incredibly agile and alive.
No, it wasn’t just a feeling. Lin Xinghai could actually see the spear moving freely, as if it were a living creature.
"There it is, Cheng Tian’s Summoning Superpower: the Dragon Scale Spear. They say his spear is indestructible and can automatically find an enemy’s weakness like a living thing. I wonder if it’s true."
"That’s got to be an exaggeration. How could there be an indestructible Superpower? Tell him to try stabbing a Divine Demon Realm expert to death and see what happens."
"You’re just being a contrarian. Of course, you can only compare it to others at the same Level. I heard his Dragon Scale Spear is a powerful one even among Rare Superpowers, and his Superpower has even awakened three times. They say that at the same Level, no one can withstand the attack of his Dragon Scale Spear. It’s hailed as the strongest spear."
Another wave of discussion rose from below the stage.
These voices naturally reached Lin Xinghai’s ears. He curiously sized up his opponent’s Dragon Scale Spear. The weapon did indeed give him a sense of danger.
Of course, even the strongest weapon was useless if it couldn’t hit its target, so Lin Xinghai wasn’t worried in the slightest.
After walking to the other side and gripping the Dragon Scale Spear, Cheng Tian seemed to have regained some confidence.
He looked at Lin Xinghai and said with a smile, "Mr. Lin, I have to admit your strength is immense. Your Speed and Attack Power are both beyond compare for me. But I believe you’re not invincible. Your weakness is your insufficient Defense Power."
"And it just so happens that I have a move that’s perfect for countering enemies with insufficient Defense Power."
As he spoke, the Dragon Scale Spear in his hand shone with golden light once more. A ball of light was drawn out, gradually forming a miniature Dragon Scale Spear only seven or eight centimeters long.
Then, more and more balls of light were drawn out. Soon, the nearly two-meter-long Dragon Scale Spear in his hand had disintegrated into over a hundred miniature Dragon Scale Spears.
Under the control of his Superpower, these Dragon Scale Spears floated up and surrounded his body, forming a spherical shield.
Of course, this shield had no defensive capabilities, but anyone who wanted to attack Cheng Tian would inevitably face the assault of the miniature Dragon Scale Spears.
Lin Xinghai was a little surprised to see this, but that was all.
"Are you ready?" Lin Xinghai asked.
Seeing Lin Xinghai’s calm expression, Cheng Tian’s heart skipped a beat for no reason.
But in this situation, he had no choice but to brace himself and press on.
"Bring it on!"
The moment Cheng Tian’s voice fell, Lin Xinghai’s figure vanished from his sight.
Although he had witnessed it once before, experiencing it firsthand brought a sense of despair that was completely different from watching from below.
’Don’t panic. I’ve already deployed my Superpower. As long as I don’t reveal any openings, he can’t do anything to me for now,’ Cheng Tian quietly reassured himself.
"Is that so? You might have some misconceptions about my Defense Power," a voice sounded beside his ear.
Cheng Tian instantly felt the hairs on his body stand on end. When he whipped his head around, he saw that Lin Xinghai had appeared beside him at some unknown point.
Blood Qi Power swirled around him, forming an incredibly thick defensive shield. The released Dragon Scale Spears were ensnared by his dense Blood Qi Power, completely unable to break free.
"This!" Cheng Tian was dumbfounded, momentarily at a loss for words.
But Lin Xinghai, on the other hand, couldn’t be bothered. His fist, infused with immense Blood Qi Power, shot directly toward Cheng Tian’s head.
Cheng Tian subconsciously tried to dodge, but Lin Xinghai’s punch was simply too fast—so fast he couldn’t react before his head was struck.
However, the Attack Power of Lin Xinghai’s fists couldn’t compare to his Divine Demon Transformation legs. So, by protecting his body with his own Blood Qi Power, Cheng Tian managed to endure the blow.
But before he could even breathe a sigh of relief, he saw a sky full of fist shadows.
In the blink of an eye, he was hit more than a dozen times. His Blood Qi Power couldn’t hold up; it dissipated after just five or six punches.
The remaining punches landed squarely on his face, knocking him unconscious.
Although this battle didn’t end as quickly as the previous ones, the shock it delivered to the crowd was still considerable.
Just a moment ago, Cheng Tian had claimed that Lin Xinghai’s weakness was his Defense Power. Now, his words had been thrown right back in his face—a double humiliation, both physical and mental.
Of course, in a way, Cheng Tian wasn’t wrong. But unfortunately, he had forgotten one thing: Lin Xinghai possessed an enormous amount of Blood Qi Power.
The more Blood Qi Power one had, the stronger the defensive layer they could form. With Lin Xinghai’s vast reserves of Blood Qi Power, the barrier he could create when fully unleashed was almost as strong as that of some ordinary Defensive Superpower Users.
Of course, he had to admit that Cheng Tian’s Dragon Scale Spear was indeed very strong.
In just those two or three seconds, he felt he had consumed nearly 400 points of Blood Qi Power. Even with his total reserves, he couldn’t have held out for more than a few seconds.
Naturally, the reason he lost so much Blood Qi Power was that he wanted to test the attack strength of the Dragon Scale Spear. Otherwise, he could have closed the distance instantly and finished the fight in a second.
And at the moment Cheng Tian fell, he had successfully claimed the top spot.
