108: Proficiency: Divine Skill
"This... this is impossible!"
Zhou Xinyang, caught in the sea of fire, had his pupils tremble in shock.
He, a dignified Three-Star Martial Artist.
Under his full-strength strike, he could actually only tie with the opponent?
Could it be that this young man impersonating Su Ting is also a Three-Star Martial Artist?
Moreover, he must be an outstanding talent among Three-Star Martial Artists!
In a satellite city like Luofeng City.
Those who can reach Three-star are definitely the cream of the crop in a city.
Would such a person of status really go out of their way to make trouble for people from their academy?
Therefore, he had previously assumed the opponent was only a Two-star Late Stage, or perhaps Peak.
And that they were only taking such risks to accumulate the resources needed for a Breakthrough in their Realm.
Now it seems, he had guessed completely wrong!
"You killed so many people from my Hanghai Martial Arts Academy!"
Zhou Xinyang forced himself to endure the pain of the flames scorching his body and glared furiously,
"No matter who you really are, you will definitely pay the price with your life!"
He roared, his face twisted, and charged at Li Canglan again.
He held a solid battle staff, the fierce wind it carried nearly extinguishing the flames.
Li Canglan only felt a sharp gust of wind rushing towards his face.
He curled his lips, his hands itching, craving a fight.
"You should worry about whether you can survive first!"
Both sides collided again with tacit understanding.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The piercing sound of metal clashing rang out continuously through the forest.
Some Two-star Demonic Beasts nearby heard the commotion and gathered around.
They wanted to see if there was a midnight snack delivered to their door.
But the next instant, they tucked their tails and turned to flee for their lives!
Just because their intelligence is inferior to humans doesn't mean they aren't afraid of death.
Only a few Demonic Beasts waited for the two to both suffer losses.
As the halberd and staff clashed, both Li Canglan and Zhou Xinyang felt their arms go numb from the vibration.
"The strength of a Three-Star Martial Artist is indeed not to be underestimated!"
Relying on the strength of his Giant Spirit Sky-Breaking Force, Li Canglan did not fall behind.
His eyes were filled with surging Battle Intent.
Within the same Realm, there was almost no enemy who could compete with him.
Only someone like Zhou Xinyang, who could suppress him in terms of Realm, could give him a hearty battle.
On the other side, Zhou Xinyang, who had failed to defeat Li Canglan for a long time, had a terrifyingly gloomy expression.
Li Canglan's words sounded like something only a Two-Star Martial Artist would say.
Not to be underestimated?
Does this mean he is only a Two-Star Martial Artist?
Zhou Xinyang, who had just concluded the opponent was a Three-Star Martial Artist, began to doubt again.
"Impossible, you absolutely cannot be a Two-Star Martial Artist!"
Zhou Xinyang felt his worldview had been shaken.
He roared and attacked Li Canglan with all his might.
But no matter how he attacked, Li Canglan had only one goal.
Even if he was barely pushed back by Zhou Xinyang.
Li Canglan would do everything in his power to force him back into the sea of fire.
Even when Zhou Xinyang tried to escape from other directions, Li Canglan would blast him back with Wind Sweeps Ten Thousand Thunders.
Not to injure Zhou Xinyang, but just to block him back!
Then, relying on his incomparable speed, he would charge up.
With his proficiency in Meteor Cloud Steps skyrocketing, his speed even began to surpass Zhou Xinyang's.
In this battle, Li Canglan felt that his proficiency with Thunderbolt Slash was approaching its limit!
Following another violent collision.
Both sides were knocked flying.
And Li Canglan's Divine Sense suddenly became clear.
In that instant, many insights regarding Thunderbolt Slash appeared in his mind.
Godlike proficiency!
Li Canglan was ecstatic, his fangtian halberd piercing through the air.
Zhou Xinyang, who had just been pushed back, felt a flash of lightning appear before his eyes in a daze.
A sense of fear inexplicably rose in his heart.
Zhou Xinyang shook his head and braced himself to meet it.
Bang!
The wild impact sent Zhou Xinyang flying more than ten meters away instantly!
A flash of astonishment crossed Zhou Xinyang's eyes.
How did the opponent's attack suddenly increase so much?
Before, it was only on par with his own.
Now he could easily suppress him?
Not only that, when Zhou Xinyang was knocked flying.
The halberd in Li Canglan's hand swept across as if effortlessly, adding two wounds to Zhou Xinyang's waist!
There was even a sizzling electric current, constantly irritating his wounds.
Zhou Xinyang's expression changed drastically, filled with shock and confusion.
As a long-handled weapon, the fangtian halberd involves wide, sweeping movements in battle and has various limitations in its use.
How could it have such a fast attack speed?
Unless the opponent had mastered an extremely profound halberd Martial Skill!
However, he would never have guessed that what Li Canglan had mastered was merely the most common Thunderbolt Slash.
Thunderbolt Slash, as a common offensive Martial Skill, naturally could not be released without limit.
Or rather, almost all Martial Skills are like this.
Otherwise, Li Canglan could just mindlessly use Wind Sweeps Ten Thousand Thunders to blast away.
Close-quarters combat would then lose its meaning.
But after reaching Godlike proficiency.
Every one of Li Canglan's attacks could trigger lightning damage!
The lightning damage increased as his proficiency with lightning elements and Thunderbolt Slash grew.
This meant that his every move was a Martial Skill!
Wounds soon appeared all over Zhou Xinyang's body.
It was already at the point of no return.
Only the strong vitality of a Three-Star Martial Artist allowed him to barely hold on.
"I don't believe that I could lose to a Two-Star Martial Artist today!"
Zhou Xinyang clutched his painful wounds, his eyes splitting with rage.
Today's battle was a huge blow to him!
As an outstanding graduate and a favored son of heaven.
When had he ever suffered such humiliation?
Overcome with grief and indignation, Zhou Xinyang, with a twisted expression, took out a bottle of green potion from his spatial ring.
The liquid inside kept churning, looking like a lethal poison that could kill someone instantly.
As Zhou Xinyang tilted his head back and drank the potion in one gulp.
His complexion slowly turned purple, as if he had been poisoned.
The battle armor on his body suddenly expanded, and his body swelled up like a balloon.
After a few breaths, he became a small giant with immense oppressive force!
His nearly three-meter-tall physique was full of oppressive force.
In close-quarters combat, he almost possessed an absolute advantage.
"To be able to force me to use this potion that damages my Foundation, you will definitely die today!"
Zhou Xinyang took heavy steps and charged towards Li Canglan.
At this moment, he was even more violent than a wild bull.
A seemingly ordinary step cracked the ground.
"You say that as if you would let me go if I hadn't forced you."
Li Canglan sneered, then carried his fangtian halberd.
And fled into the distance!
Zhou Xinyang: "???"
You guy, you're not playing by the rules!
I used my ultimate, and you're running away?
Shouldn't you be fighting me to the death at this moment?
Zhou Xinyang took a deep breath and took a long look at the direction Li Canglan had fled.
Through the battle during this time, he understood that relying on his own speed, it was impossible to catch up to the opponent.
Since that was the case, he had to run away too!
In an instant, both of them ran in opposite directions.
