65: Break through the limits!

Time flew by!

About three minutes later, Lin Chuan indeed showed obvious signs of exhaustion!

To outsiders, his breathing was unstable, his body swayed, and every attack was shaky!

But his own feelings were even more real than what others saw!

He felt like he had just finished an exhilarating marathon, with all his muscles sore and heavy!

When he clenched his fists, the muscles tensed on his arms were almost harder than his fists!

As if they were about to explode the next second!

All over his body, others only saw blood.

What he felt more clearly, however, was sweat!

Wet, salty sweat covered his body, like towering mountains, making it hard for him to breathe!

Even his vision was subtly blurred!

This was clearly an extremely bad state, and finally, his next punch not only missed Xu Wenjian but also caused him to fall directly!

With a 'bang', he fell onto the arena!

The audience in the stands below booed and cursed.

Xu Wenjian on the stage, however, showed no joy of impending victory; instead, a hint of shock subtly emerged from his serious and calm expression.

He looked down at the fallen Lin Chuan and suddenly uttered in a deep voice: "Your real-world attributes have already broken through the upper limit of the apprentice stage?"

Lin Chuan panted heavily, looking as if he didn't even have the strength to get up!

Naturally, he didn't answer.

Xu Wenjian's eyes narrowed, and after a long while, he suddenly let out a heavy sigh: "Alright, I'll give you a hand. But as agreed, I'll only give you half an hour! And now, there's less than a quarter of an hour left until half an hour!"

With that, he actually threw away his sword, which he never parted with, and switched to punching, launching another fierce attack on Lin Chuan!

And Lin Chuan continued to dodge!

However, with his physical strength severely overdrawn, almost every one of Xu Wenjian's punches landed on him!

By this time, the battle between the two had turned into a pure brawl!

The audience in the stands were puzzled, but in the VIP boxes, some big shots finally saw through it—

"This kid, could he be trying to break through the human limit in an extremely high-pressure battle? What a joke? This is Paradise! And, have his own attributes broken the upper limit? How dare he do this?"

And on the arena, Lin Chuan endured blow after blow!

He was like a sandbag, being relentlessly beaten by Xu Wenjian.

Not to mention blurred vision, even his brain started to go blank!

With his body pushed to its limit, the only thing supporting him was his will!

Just like that, he was beaten like a sandbag by Xu Wenjian for a full quarter of an hour!

Xu Wenjian's promised half an hour was up!

He looked solemn and stern, and said calmly: "You failed."

With that, his next strike was indeed a killing blow, a palm strike aimed at Lin Chuan's chest!

With his strength and Lin Chuan's condition, everyone knew this fatal blow—

Lin Chuan couldn't dodge it!

After this blow, the arena match would end!

However!

A scene that left everyone dumbfounded occurred!

Lin Chuan, whose physical strength was severely overdrawn, clearly looked like a walking corpse, not even having the strength to throw a punch!

But he actually, suddenly dodged this fatal blow!

The audience in the stands were puzzled, thinking that Lin Chuan's poor state was faked and that he still had the strength to cope.

But in the VIP boxes, where the battle was being watched, one after another, big shots instantly stood up, their eyes fixed on Lin Chuan on the screen!

Even Xu Wenjian himself was shocked!

The usually calm and reserved young man, who was almost expressionless, now showed a ghost-like expression!

After the shock, his eyes suddenly lit up!

In those eyes, a fierce fighting spirit ignited!

He picked up his sword again!

His subsequent attacks were full-force, with no holding back!

However, each attack could no longer hit Lin Chuan!

Blood-stained Lin Chuan seemed like a changed man!

His appearance was still like a walking corpse, as if the words "dazed and confused" were written all over him!

However, in this very state, he effortlessly avoided all of Xu Wenjian's attacks, as if under no pressure!

By this time, even in the stands, people finally noticed something amiss and exclaimed in surprise:

"What's going on?! After this arena master was beaten badly, why does it feel like his combat power has increased by a level?!"

"Was he holding back before? Doesn't seem like it, does it? I feel his current state is very strange!"

"Oh my! I feel his state is very much like, the legendary, breakthrough of limits?!"

"What? Breakthrough of limits?!"

"I also heard people say that the attribute upper limit in the apprentice stage is 100 points! But some big shots in the Source Plane can break through this limit! However, breaking the attribute upper limit doesn't mean the strength upper limit is also broken!"

"Simply put, a big shot might break the attribute upper limit in the apprentice stage and have 110 points of attributes! But the strength he can exert is still 100 points! The part beyond the upper limit is difficult to utilize!"

"For example, I heard there's a genius big shot in the Source Plane named Xu Wenjian, who reached level 10 long ago, and his Siwei attributes are as high as 160 points! But what he can truly exert is still only 100 points!"

"To truly exert strength beyond 100 points, first, your attributes must exceed 100 points! Next, you must break through the human limit!"

"It is said that when breaking through the human limit, one enters a mysterious 'instinctive' state! This state is somewhat similar to 'enlightenment', and a person's combat power will be greatly enhanced as if by divine aid!"

"What?! So, this arena master's current state is a breakthrough of the human limit??? Does that mean his real-world attributes have also exceeded 100 points?! Is he that awesome?"

"Am I the only one who thinks that genius in the Source Plane, whose apprentice-stage attributes are as high as 160, is also terrifyingly strong?!"

"What's 160! He has a powerful background, so there are many ways to improve attributes! The key is that even if attributes are improved, they can't be fully utilized! The human limit is not that easy to break!"

"I've also heard of cases of breaking through the human limit, but it was among big shots in the first and second transitions! I heard that breaking through the human limit in the apprentice stage is the most difficult!"

"But it's also the most beneficial!"

Just as everyone was discussing whether Lin Chuan might have broken through the human limit.

On the arena, Lin Chuan's battle became even more fluid and graceful, looking delightful to watch!

And by this time, the situation of his battle with Xu Wenjian had reversed!

From Xu Wenjian suppressing him before, it could now be said that he was suppressing Xu Wenjian throughout!

Xu Wenjian's sword couldn't even touch a single corner of his clothing!

Suddenly, with a 'bang', Lin Chuan's fist heavily struck Xu Wenjian's forehead!

He was dizzy for 0.3 seconds!

But in a clash between masters, just this instant of 0.3 seconds can already decide the outcome!

Lin Chuan's blood-stained hand grabbed Xu Wenjian's hand, twisted, turned, and stabbed!

Xu Wenjian's own sword, under Lin Chuan's control, was reversed and plunged into his own chest!

And his figure instantly disappeared from the arena!

At this moment, the stands erupted in cheers that shook the sky!

And in the VIP boxes, a deathly silence fell!
