112: Chapter 112 Five Elements Brand!!

With an unstoppable, desperate resolve, it blasted towards Qin Yan!

"It's over!"

Qin Yan's gaze was icy cold, locking onto his target.

The peerless, vicious spear in his hand, bearing sixfold power, moved!

The long spear tore through the air, descending with the most domineering and direct strike, "Splitting Mount Hua with Force!"

Before the spear tip arrived, its fierce momentum had already torn through the air.

The fist force unleashed by the white figure was like mist before this spear, instantly annihilated by the slash.

But this was only the beginning!

After shattering the fist force, the spear's momentum did not diminish but instead increased.

With a resolve to sever everything, it struck with pinpoint accuracy on the right arm the white figure had thrust forward!

"Ssssh—!"

There was no clang of metal on metal, only the sound of energy being forcibly torn apart!

The white figure's right arm, condensed from pure energy, was severed cleanly at the shoulder!

The severed arm instantly transformed into a shower of sparkling energy fragments, scattering in all directions!

Just as the severed arm scattered, he gave his wrist a sharp flick.

The spear shaft, like a living spirit snake, traced a sharp semi-circular arc using the momentum of the slash.

The spear tip pulsed with a heart-stopping pale golden light, sweeping across like a thunderbolt!

An arc of pale golden light, condensed to the extreme, flashed and vanished!

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

As the golden light dissipated, the white figure had been sliced in half at the waist.

The two halves of its body slowly separated, ultimately dissolving into specks of white energy and vanishing.

Two moves!

From the moment Qin Yan unleashed his final killing move, "Triple Shockwave," he used only two moves.

With overwhelming force, he completely crushed this tenth floor guardian, the so-called "final nightmare" that had blocked countless first-tier geniuses!

Qin Yan stood proudly, spear in hand, amidst the drifting rain of energy light.

His chest heaved violently, sweat having long since soaked through his clothes.

But his eyes were bright as stars, filled with the joy of victory and the exhilaration of surpassing his limits!

However, this extreme outburst had also nearly drained all his strength.

An intense feeling of weakness washed over him like a tide.

He could no longer hold on; the spear in his hand clattered to the ground.

His legs gave way, and he slumped to the ground, gasping for breath.

But a brilliant, immensely proud smile played on his lips.

The tenth floor—cleared!

At that moment, the space in the central area of the tenth floor seemed to be stirred by an invisible force.

Countless streams of visible energy surged and converged as if summoned.

They slowly coalesced into two distinctly different balls of light.

One ball of light was pure as snow, emanating a piercing chill and sharpness, as if it could pierce through all falsehoods;

The other shimmered with five-colored brilliance.

Gold, green, blue, red, and yellow alternated and shone, containing the ever-renewing essence of the Five Elements.

Before Qin Yan could take a closer look, the pure white light suddenly moved.

Like a meteor piercing the sky, it shot straight towards his forehead and instantly vanished into it.

"Boom—!"

Qin Yan felt as if a thunderclap had exploded in his mind, shaking his spirit.

Immediately after, countless insights, secrets, and concepts about Spear Techniques poured into the depths of his consciousness like a bursting dam.

It was a profound interpretation of "force."

His comprehension of Spear Techniques, infused with this vast torrent of information,

began to soar at an unprecedented rate.

The barriers of his realm seemed fragile before this mighty flood.

The process seemed extremely long, yet also as if it lasted only an instant.

The surging flood of insights finally gradually calmed, settled, and ultimately became part of Qin Yan's own foundation.

His tightly closed eyes suddenly snapped open; a sharp spear gleam seemed to flash deep within them.

His entire aura became several degrees sharper.

He rose to his feet, casually picking up the spear leaning beside him, and gave his wrist a casual flick—

"Hum!"

The spear shaft trembled lightly; at its sharp tip,

three intensely condensed spear forces instantly appeared, the air emitting a sharp tearing sound.

But this was only the beginning!

Immediately following, a fourth spear force coalesced almost without a gap.

It resonated with the first three, increasing the imposing aura even more!

However, the improvement still hadn't stopped!

Qin Yan felt his control over spear force had reached a whole new level; the surging insights were still propelling him forward.

"Fifth force, condense!"

"Hum—!"

The fifth spear force emerged as commanded!

Five pale golden spear forces, like five guardian dragons, coiled and spiraled around the spear shaft.

The sharp aura they emitted seemed to make the surrounding space turn viscous!

Five spear forces!

This was the most distinct marker of Spear Technique reaching the "peak of the Third Stage"!

It must be known that once Spear Technique steps into the threshold of the peak Third Stage, one can initially condense a fourth spear force.

And as a martial artist delves deeper into this realm, their understanding of Spear Technique becomes more thorough and their control more refined,

the number of spear forces will slowly increase, approaching the limit just before the fourth stage—six spear forces!

This was precisely why the white figure on the tenth floor of the Secret Realm Tower was so difficult to overcome.

Qin Yan focused his mind and summoned his personal status panel:

[Spear Technique: Third Stage (95%)]

"95%!"

An uncontrollable wave of joy surged in Qin Yan's heart.

Previously, his progress was 61%; this inheritance had directly boosted him by 34%!

If he had relied on technique points to pile this up, it would likely have cost around 10 points!

This was absolutely a huge saving.

"Could it be... this is the 'small reward' Teacher Jiang Mo vaguely mentioned before, for clearing the tenth floor?"

Recalling his mentor's hint, Qin Yan guessed to himself.

Just as his heart was surging with emotion, the ball of Five Elements light that had been quietly suspended in mid-air,

as if finally confirming something, also transformed into a stream of light.

It flew lightly towards Qin Yan and finally imprinted itself on the center of his forehead.

Forming a tiny, swirling pattern of five-colored light.

A warm, tolerate, and slightly cool sensation flashed by and vanished.

The Five Elements seal flickered a few times.

Then, like a drop of water merging into the sea, it quietly vanished beneath his skin, disappearing without a trace.

The space returned to its deathly silence.

Qin Yan instinctively closed his eyes again, focusing and preparing,

anticipating another massive influx of information like the Spear Technique insights from before.

However...

Nothing happened.

His mind remained calm; his body felt no unusual sensations.

It was as if that eye-catching Five Elements light had merely been a dazzling illusion.

Or just an insignificant mark.

He waited patiently a while longer, but everything remained calm.

Just as Qin Yan began to doubt what use that Five Elements light actually had, a white light suddenly shone on his body.

"Here it comes! There really is a reward!"

A look of joy crossed Qin Yan's face, thinking this was the tangible benefit from the Five Elements light being activated.

However, the next instant, that familiar, slight dizziness washed over him.
