226: Chapter 226 Leng Feng Makes His Move!

At that time, geniuses would gather together, and it was inevitable that there would be a sense of comparison and competition.

Rather than letting this competition evolve into private friction or malicious conflict,

it was better to provide an officially recognized channel for 'venting' and 'proving' oneself—the Arena Tournament.

Here, everyone could compete openly, verify their strength, and win honor.

To motivate the participants, Anya even set up rewards: in the Arena Tournament, if one could defeat three consecutive opponents, they would receive two drops of 'grandmaster true blood' as a reward on the spot!

This reward could be obtained once per day!

grandmaster true blood!

This reward held considerable appeal for the vast majority of young geniuses.

Especially for certain 'resource-hungry' individuals—such as our Student Qin Yan.

At this moment, Qin Yan was standing in the area where the Human Prodigies gathered, calmly watching the battle on the stage.

Standing beside him were Leng Feng, Sun Kong, Zhao Qingyun, and other members of Modu University.

On the stage, the combatants were Li Mu from Modu University of Martial Arts on one side, and an Elf Clan man named Yun Gui on the other.

Li Mu was currently wielding a heavy straight blade, struggling to withstand his opponent's storm-like offensive.

His opponent was an Elven youth named Yun Gui, who was agile and used a slender Elven longsword.

Yun Gui's swordsmanship was light and nimble, yet continuous and unending.

He constantly compressed Li Mu's defensive space.

"Li Mu is going to lose."

Qin Yan observed for a moment and said in a low voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, the situation on the stage changed abruptly!

Yun Gui seized a tiny flaw where Li Mu's old strength had just faded and new strength had yet to be generated, and the longsword in his hand suddenly accelerated!

On the blade, a foot-long pale green sword glow suddenly lit up, like a bolt of green lightning, piercing straight through Li Mu's middle path!

In his haste, Li Mu blocked horizontally, and the six layers of blade intent condensed on his straight blade collided fiercely with the green sword glow!

"Clang!"

A massive force surged through, and Li Mu was knocked off the stage.

"I yield."

Yun Gui sheathed his sword and stood still, without much pride on his face, simply cupping his hands calmly toward those below the stage.

By the stage, an Elf acting as the referee announced loudly: "Yun Gui, one victory!"

Almost at the same time the announcement fell, a female Elven healer who had been waiting by the stage stepped forward quickly to Li Mu, who was slumped on the ground.

She extended her hands, and a soft emerald green light rose from her palms, enveloping Li Mu's sword-wielding wrist and his slightly disordered aura.

The warm true qi seeped in, alleviating his pain and calming his churning blood and qi.

On the stage, Yun Gui's gaze swept across the crowd below.

He paused for an extra moment particularly on the area where the Human Prodigies gathered, and spoke in a clear voice: "Next."

Below the stage, the atmosphere where the several people from Modu University of Martial Arts were located was somewhat gloomy.

No matter how poor Li Mu's performance was, he still came from Modu University of Martial Arts and represented part of the school's face.

On Leng Feng's habitually expressionless face, his brows furrowed slightly.

He looked at Qin Yan, and the two exchanged a look.

Leng Feng then nodded.

In the next moment, his figure blurred as he leaped onto the stage.

He stood firm and raised his spear.

"Modu University of Martial Arts, Leng Feng. Please advise."

"Yun Gui, please advise."

The moment the words fell, the two moved almost simultaneously!

Leng Feng's movements were concise, without any flashy opening stance.

With a sudden kick of his foot, the silver-gray long spear in his hand turned into a straight cold light, piercing directly toward Yun Gui's chest!

This spear strike was fast, accurate, and ruthless!

The spear tip pierced the air, letting out a sharp whistle.

A majestic power of blood and qi erupted from within Leng Feng's body, turning into a physical sense of pressure that swept across the entire stage!

"Such strong blood and qi! third grade mid-stage, and an outstanding one at that!"

This judgment flashed through his mind, making his heart tighten.

But he was, after all, an Elf warrior who had undergone rigorous training, and his reaction was extremely fast.

The slender Elven longsword in his hand rose almost at the same time, and on the blade, the pale green sword glow lit up once again.

"Wind Chant · Whirling Slash!"

Immediately after, a suddenly swirling miniature cyclone wrapped around the sword blade, emitting a faint but clear humming sound.

He met the attack head-on!

However, Leng Feng's spear was far more sharp and overbearing than it appeared!

"Clang—!"

Yun Gui only felt a massive force surge wildly along the sword blade!

The blade was jolted high by the immense force from the spear tip, and even his entire right arm was numb and aching.

His feet even retreated three steps in a row before he barely managed to shed the impact and stabilize his figure, his face already filled with horror.

"Such strong power! Such refined blood and qi!"

Yun Gui was shocked in his heart.

The opponent's spear strike had no technique to speak of; it was pure power suppression.

Combined with that terrifyingly refined blood and qi, it actually directly broke his sword technique of using skill to overcome force!

"third grade mid-stage... truly powerful!"

This human named Leng Feng was more than one level stronger than the previous Li Mu!

Leng Feng's face remained as calm as a deep well.

He did not pause at all; the moment Yun Gui had just stood firm, he exerted force with his feet, and his whole person pounced forward like a hunting leopard.

At the same time, he held the spear with both hands, using the momentum of the forward charge.

The spear body traced a semi-circle, carrying the sound of whistling wind, and smashed down fiercely toward Yun Gui's head from above!

This strike was no longer a thrust, but a smash!

The spear body was infused with vigorous blood and qi, as if it had turned into a heavy iron rod, intending to crush all obstacles in front of it!

Yun Gui's pupils contracted as he felt the terrifying power like Mount Tai pressing down from above; it was already too late to dodge.

He gritted his teeth, and the blood and qi in his body poured frantically into the longsword, the green light on the blade flaring up!

"Myriad Forest · Verdant Wood Barrier!"

He held the sword with both hands, raising it horizontally over his head, and the blade instantly seemed to come alive.

Layers of green light and shadows extended out, quickly weaving into a semi-circular light shield carrying a resilient wood-attribute aura.

This was one of the ultimate moves of his Body Tempering Martial Art.

Its defensive power was extremely strong!

But he was not confident he could catch this heavy and powerful blow!

"Boom—!!!"

The long spear smashed heavily onto that green light shield!

Amidst the ear-piercing explosion, the light shield vibrated violently, and its surface was instantly covered with spiderweb-like cracks!

After supporting for less than two seconds, it shattered under Leng Feng's tyrannical and unmatched power!

The impact of the shattered light shield and the remaining massive force of the long spear poured unreservedly onto the longsword Yun Gui held horizontally.

"Puff!"

Yun Gui felt as if he had been struck by a heavy blow, his face turned pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

His whole body flew backward and crashed heavily onto the edge of the stage.

He struggled for a moment but failed to climb up immediately, clearly having suffered significant internal injuries.

"Leng Feng, one victory!" the referee immediately announced.

A healing Elf immediately stepped forward to treat Yun Gui.

Leng Feng slowly withdrew his spear, his face still calm.

As one of the top individuals in the highest martial arts academy in Huaxia, defeating a third grade early-stage opponent among his peers was indeed nothing to be proud of.
