53: Chapter 53 War Kong

During this time, only two people refused to give up and went up to the stage to try again.

The results were as expected, exactly like Lu Chuan.

Before Qin Yan's heavy and powerful long spear, neither could last more than two moves before being defeated.

At this point, no one else dared to easily challenge Qin Yan.

Qin Yan was happy to have some peace, carefully observing the battles in the field.

He noticed that among the New Students present...

Almost half of the students had already broken through to the Martial Artist realm!

One must know that at the beginning of the month, the number of Martial Artists was less than a hundred!

"Modu University of Martial Arts truly deserves its reputation as a martial arts institution standing at the peak of China..."

Qin Yan couldn't help but sigh with emotion again in his heart.

"The people gathered here are indeed elites from all over the country.

If these students were placed in other ordinary martial arts universities...

I'm afraid any one of them would have the strength to compete for the top ten in their grade."

The competition here was far more intense than the outside world could imagine.

An hour later, as the dust settled on the final challenge match, the selection trials officially ended.

The list of the top one hundred students in the grade was finally determined.

And Qin Yan firmly held onto his eleventh-place position.

He gained the qualification to participate in the next round, the Arena Match, which would truly determine rankings and resource allocation.

A greater challenge was about to come.

The smell of gunpowder in the air grew increasingly thick.

"The Arena Match officially begins!"

Instructor Lin Jian's clear voice was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirring up layers of ripples across the Martial Arts Arena.

Everyone's eyes focused on the ten arenas that symbolized honor and strength.

Xiao Wangshu, Sun Kong, the Class Monitor, and the other powerhouses firmly ranked in the top ten of the New Students, who had been waiting for a long time, moved upon hearing the voice.

Their figures were agile, some like soaring swans, others like wild bulls, as they each leaped onto the arena corresponding to their rank number.

As soon as they stepped onto the stages, various levels of imposing and aggressive auras rose from their bodies.

Their faces all bore the confidence and composure belonging to geniuses as they quietly awaited the arrival of challengers.

Qin Yan did not hesitate for a moment.

His goal was crystal clear—tenth place, King Kong!

He took a step forward and steadily ascended the number ten arena.

This action immediately attracted the gaze of the vast majority of students below the stage.

"There's a good show to watch! Eleventh place is challenging tenth place!"

"This Qin Yan really has some guts. He just established his prestige in the selection trials and now he's aiming directly for the threshold of the top ten!"

"One has surging momentum, the other has a deep foundation; this match is definitely worth watching!"

Discussions broke out everywhere, filled with expectation.

In Freshman Class 1, many students who knew the inside story had flickering eyes.

They were well aware of the somewhat unpleasant past between Qin Yan and King Kong.

This battle, whether for public or private reasons, was destined not to end quietly.

On the arena, King Kong looked at Qin Yan standing opposite him.

The corners of his mouth curled into a somewhat sinister grin: "I didn't expect you'd actually dare to pick me as your target?

What, aren't you afraid of being beaten to tears in a moment and running back to complain and beg your Senior Sister for help again?"

He brought up the old matter again, intending to gain a verbal upper hand over Qin Yan and disturb his state of mind.

Hearing this, Qin Yan's expression didn't fluctuate at all; he just gave King Kong a faint glance.

That gaze was as calm as a deep pool, making King Kong's calculated verbal provocation feel like it had hit empty air.

This disregard instead caused a fire to rise in King Kong's heart.

Seeing both sides in position, the referee said no more and lowered his arm: "Begin!"

Swoosh!

Almost the instant the referee's voice fell, Qin Yan moved!

The long spear in his hand was like a venomous snake that had been lying in wait, suddenly snapping out.

It turned into a bolt of black lightning, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, piercing straight for King Kong's chest!

The speed was so fast and the angle so tricky that it drew bursts of low exclamations from below the stage.

"Good timing!"

King Kong gave a loud shout and, without dodging, actually met the attack with an attack of his own!

He wore a pair of gauntlets on his fists that glinted with a metallic cold light.

The blood and qi within his body surged as his right fist roared out, accurately smashing toward the incoming spear tip!

Clang—!

The gauntlet and spear tip collided violently, producing a piercing sound of clashing metal!

A wave of air expanded outward from the point of impact.

Under the collision, King Kong felt a sharp and majestic force travel through his gauntlet.

His body uncontrollably staggered back several steps before he managed to steady himself.

"Impressive indeed!"

King Kong felt a chill in his heart.

From watching the battle between Qin Yan and Lu Chuan earlier, he had vaguely guessed that Qin Yan might have broken through to the Mid First Rank.

Now that they had personally exchanged blows, he immediately confirmed this thought.

Qin Yan stood with his spear, the shaft vibrating slightly and emitting a low hum.

He looked at King Kong and spoke calmly: "You are also quite impressive, having already broken through to the Late First Rank."

He was not lying.

If King Kong hadn't already ascended to the Late First Rank, significantly increasing his total blood and qi and physical strength...

That strike just now, which contained spear force, could never have simply pushed him back a few steps.

King Kong's expression turned completely solemn as he cast away his last shred of contempt.

He gave a low roar, and the blood and qi throughout his body churned like boiling water.

The color of his exposed skin began to change, quickly becoming coated in a deep and solid bronze hue.

His entire being seemed to transform into a bronze-cast strongman, emitting a heavy and solid aura.

"Again!"

King Kong roared, his feet slamming into the arena floor like a rampaging bronze bull.

Carrying a momentum that could crush anything, he launched another charge at Qin Yan!

With every step he took, the arena emitted a dull thud.

"Is this the effect of a Body Tempering Martial Art?"

Qin Yan's eyes narrowed slightly as he watched the transformed King Kong, understanding dawned in his heart.

He didn't dare to be careless in the slightest, and with a thought...

Pale gold spear force instantly coiled around the spear tip, adding more sharpness and destructive power to the long spear.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The two instantly clashed in a chaotic battle!

Golden spear shadows and bronze fist shadows constantly collided and intertwined.

Qin Yan's Spear Technique was sharp and tricky, and combined with the indestructible spear force, every thrust carried the power to pierce through everything.

Meanwhile, King Kong's bronze defense was equally astonishing; as his fists and palms moved, he met the spear's edge head-on.

Continuous crisp metallic clashing sounds rang out, and sparks flew in all directions!

The battle was exceptionally fierce as the two moved rapidly across the arena, exchanging spear thrusts and fist strikes.

For a time, they were locked in a stalemate, drawing continuous gasps from the audience below.

However, after a particularly violent clash...

The two separated again, both panting, their gazes locked tightly onto each other.

Qin Yan thought to himself: "This King Kong's Body Tempering Martial Art is definitely at a very high level!

His defensive power is amazing; my spear force is actually finding it hard to easily break his defense."

Through this exchange, he gained a deeper and more intuitive understanding of the strength of those firmly in the top ten.

On the other side, King Kong's heart was even more turbulent.

Except for his final trump card which he hadn't used yet, he had almost exhausted all his means, yet he still couldn't take down Qin Yan!

The opponent's long spear was like a maggot on a bone, and the spear force had extremely strong penetration.

It jarred his blood and qi, and a faint pain had already appeared beneath his bronze skin.
