132: Chapter 132 Immovable as a Mountain, Spells Ineffective, Bone Quality

Rumble!

The storm of intertwined thunder and fire, carrying an Aura of total destruction, completely engulfed a corner of the Tianqiong Arena.

The scorching white light made countless spectators instinctively close their eyes.

The violent energy shockwave even caused ripples to spread across the protective barrier surrounding the arena.

"It's over."

On the commentary stand, a veteran commentator pushed up his glasses, his tone firm.

"Contestant Zhao Lei's attack, [Thunder-Fire Skyfall], has reached the peak power of a Second-Turn skill. Never mind a LV.1 newcomer, even a defensive-class professional of the same level would lose a layer of skin if they took it head-on."

His partner beside him nodded repeatedly.

"Indeed, a match without any suspense. This arrangement by Longya Academy is truly incomprehensible; it is simply irresponsible regarding the contestant's life."

The audience of one hundred thousand, after the initial gasp, erupted into sighs and discussions.

"Sigh, he's dead for sure. Won't there even be scraps left?"

"Too tragic, burned alive into charcoal."

"Does Longya Academy have a hole in their heads? This isn't how you feed kills!"

On the arena.

Zhao Lei slowly lowered his raised staff, the corners of his mouth curling into a cruel and gratified arc.

He couldn't even be bothered to look at the center of the explosion.

Under that level of energy bombardment, it was impossible for any living thing to survive.

He turned around, spread his arms, and prepared to welcome the cheers and applause belonging to the winner.

However.

The expected mountain-shaking, sea-roaring cheers did not appear.

The entire Tianqiong Arena fell into an eerie silence.

The venue for one hundred thousand people was frighteningly quiet.

"Hm?"

The smile on Zhao Lei's face stiffened, and he looked towards the audience in confusion.

He discovered that everyone's eyes were staring straight in one direction.

That direction was behind him.

It was the area that had just been ravaged by the thunder-fire storm, which was currently filled with dust and smoke.

An ominous premonition crept into Zhao Lei's heart.

He spun around abruptly.

As the dust and smoke slowly dissipated, a slender figure gradually became clear.

That person was still standing in the same spot, hands tucked into the pockets of his casual jacket, not even changing his standing posture in the slightest.

Let alone being injured.

He didn't even have a single wrinkle on the corner of his clothes.

"This... how is this possible?!"

Zhao Lei's eyes were about to pop out. He rubbed his eyes vigorously, thinking that the light from the energy explosion was too strong, causing him to hallucinate.

But that figure was so real.

Those violent thunder-fires, capable of melting gold and iron, struck his body, and an inconceivable scene occurred.

It was as if water droplets had fallen onto a red-hot iron plate, causing no damage whatsoever.

Instead, the moment they touched the surface of his body, with a hiss, they were evaporated, repelled, and dissipated into nothingness by an invisible force.

[Physical Spell-Breaking / Spell Repulsion].

After [Silver Bone] reached Major Achievement, Lin Qi's Physical Body had initially acquired the characteristic of repelling low-tier elemental energy.

These flashy Spells had energy structures that appeared complex, but to Lin Qi's Martial Saint-level perception, they were full of flaws.

A slight surge of True Qi on the surface of his body created a force field that could easily shatter their structure.

To put it bluntly.

It was too weak to even tickle.

"No... I don't believe it!"

Zhao Lei's sanity received an unprecedented shock; he acted like a madman, raising his staff again.

This time, the mana within his body poured out frantically without reservation!

"Go to hell!"

"Ultimate Move! [Thunder-Flame Dragon Roar]!"

Roar—

A deafening roar resounded through the sky!

A huge elemental Dragon with a skeleton made of lightning and flesh made of fire roared out from the tip of his staff!

This Thunder-Flame Dragon was over twenty meters long; wherever it passed, even the air was scorched and twisted, and the scorching Dragon breath caused the temperature of the entire arena to suddenly rise by more than ten degrees!

"My god! Zhao Lei was actually forced to use his ultimate skill!"

"This move killed a Tier 3 Lord-level monster instantly last year!"

The audience was completely boiling over!

Everyone held their breath, staring fixedly at the ferocious Dragon rushing toward Lin Qi!

This time, that Blank Slate should be dead, right?

Facing this world-destroying strike, Lin Qi finally made a move.

He boredly took his right hand out of his pocket.

Then, at the moment that huge Dragon head was about to crash into his face.

He raised his hand.

Toward that ferocious Dragon head.

Just like swatting away an annoying fly.

He backhanded it with a light slap.

Smack!

An incredibly crisp sound overwhelmed the Dragon's roar, overwhelmed the gasps of the entire crowd, and clearly reached everyone's ears.

Time, at this moment, seemed to have been pressed to slow motion.

Under the gaze of one hundred thousand pairs of eyes.

That monstrously imposing Thunder-Flame Dragon, that Dragon head composed of violent elements, was directly... shattered by that seemingly light slap.

The energy structure was forcibly shattered by the purest, most overbearing physical brute force!

The Dragon, having lost its head, stiffened in the air for an instant.

Immediately after.

Exploded with a boom!

It turned into a sky full of brilliant sparks and lightning, like a grand display of fireworks, and then returned to nothingness.

The whole world went quiet.

On the commentary stand, the veteran commentator opened his mouth wide, and the microphone in his hand fell onto the table with a "clatter."

In the VIP stand, the expressions on the faces of the representatives of the major factions completely froze.

The team leader from Starry Sky Academy had the teacup in his hand crushed into fragments with a "crack."

In the resting area for all contestants, those Geniuses who had previously been mocking Lin Qi now stood up one by one, their faces filled with incomprehensible absurdity.

What the hell is this?

A physical attack, destroying a Spell?

This completely exceeded their understanding of this digitized world!

This was power outside the rules!

On the arena, Lin Qi withdrew his hand and shook it with some disgust, as if he had just swatted a dirty thing to death.

Then, he took a step.

Step by step, he walked toward Zhao Lei, who was completely dazed.

His pace looked slow, leisurely, and full of the ease of a stroll.

But in Zhao Lei's vision, a scene occurred that induced Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering.

The opponent had clearly only taken one step.

Yet the distance between the two had instantly shortened by ten meters!

[Yu Step · Shrinking Ground to Inches]!

"Don't... don't come over!"

Zhao Lei finally woke up from his petrified state, the color draining from his face.

He retreated in terror, waving the staff in his hand wildly.

"Fireball!"

"Lightning Chain!"

"Ice Arrow!"

Instant low-tier Spells were thrown at Lin Qi like they were free of charge.

However, it was useless.

Completely useless.

Those colorful Spell light orbs would automatically annihilate and dissipate when they came within one meter of Lin Qi's body.

He was like a god walking on earth, carrying his own absolute anti-magic Domain.

All Laws, in front of him, were rendered completely ineffective.

One step.

Two steps.

Three steps.

After only three steps, Lin Qi had crossed dozens of meters, and like a ghost, stood in front of Zhao Lei.

The distance between the two was less than half a meter.

He could even clearly see himself, small yet like a demon god, in the other's pupils.

Thump.

Zhao Lei could no longer withstand this pressure; his legs went soft, and he collapsed directly onto the ground.

The expensive blue staff slipped from his exhausted hands and rolled to the side.

Lin Qi lowered his head, looking down at this Genius mage who had been scared into a daze.

He looked at the timer above the arena.

Then, in a tone so flat that it lacked the slightest emotional fluctuation, he spoke softly.

"One minute is up."

"Is this your full strength?"
