650: Chapter 650 Frustration!

Although he showed disdain verbally, he was very serious in his heart.

After all, this was his first time facing a Half-step Grandmaster powerhouse alone!

Back in Qingyun City, when he killed the Crimson Flame Magic Lion, he had the assistance of a Formation.

With the blood qi of nine people stacked upon him, his base blood qi had reached a terrifying 1.4 million cal, far exceeding his usual level.

But now, there was no assistance.

There was only him and his long spear.

"However, I am not weaker than I was then."

Qin Yan thought to himself.

At that time, his base blood qi was only 890,000 cal.

Now, his base blood qi was 1.25 million cal.

Then, his Spear Intent was only the third grade Nirvana Spear Intent, which provided a 3.2x blood qi boost.

Now, he had the first grade Xuanming True Water Spear Intent, providing a 4x blood qi boost.

He had made leap-forward progress during this period.

"Come at me."

Qin Yan took a deep breath, and the True Qi within his body surged wildly!

A deep blue light suddenly lit up upon the long spear!

first grade Xuanming True Water Spear Intent, burst!

A fourfold blood qi boost! This was the power of his first grade Spear Intent; although it was only at one percent of the Entry-Level progress, it was already enough to give him a boost that crushed most Martial Artists of the same rank.

A blood-colored radiance enveloped the long spear!

Blood Burst, activate!

A twofold blood qi boost!

At the same time, the moyuan spirit weapon was also emitting light.

During this time, his moyuan spirit weapon had been absorbing various resources obtained from previous battles.

The spirit weapon inscriptions on the spear shaft had already grown to 321 lines.

The moyuan spirit weapon with 321 inscriptions provided him with a cumulative 2.3x boost!

The fourfold from the Xuanming True Water Spear Intent, the twofold from Blood Burst, and the 2.3-fold from the moyuan spirit weapon—the triple boosts stacked layer upon layer like three massive waves, pushing Qin Yan's original base blood qi of 1,254,000 cal all the way up.

1,254,000 multiplied by 7.3 resulted in a final figure that reached a staggering 9,154,200 cal.

At this moment, the blood qi erupting from Qin Yan's body swept in all directions like a violent storm!

The ground beneath his feet cracked under the pressure of this Aura, with fractures spreading outward; the heat waves in the air were dispersed, and the temperature within a radius of several meters plummeted;

Even the halo surrounding the Molten Core Giant King was trembling slightly.

9.1 million cal of blood qi was only slightly inferior to that of the Molten Core Giant King!

Sensing the Aura on Qin Yan, the Molten Core Giant King's fiery red pupils suddenly constricted!

For the first time, a look of solemnity appeared in those crimson crystal eyes.

This human... is so strong!

At Rank 6 Peak, to be able to erupt with such terrifying blood qi, he is definitely a Prodigy of the Human Race!

It had lived for many years and seen countless human Martial Artists break into the Lava Secret Realm.

Some were strong, some were weak, some were ordinary, and some were Geniuses.

But it had never seen such a Prodigy.

Even before their Lava Secret Realm was conquered, the strongest Prodigy in their Secret Realm was not as good as this human before it!

"I cannot let him live!"

A flash of killing intent crossed the Molten Core Giant King's eyes.

"Today, I shall slay a great Prodigy of the Human Race!"

Deep in its heart, it also felt a profound hatred for the Human Race.

Humans had conquered their Lava Secret Realm, turned their home into a training ground, and turned their clansmen into prey.

This enmity was irreconcilable.

Watching the long spear attacking it, the Molten Core Giant King clenched its massive fist, which was wrapped in layers of flame markings.

Those flame markings were like runes condensed from fire, densely packed and covering the entire fist.

As the flame markings lit up, the surface temperature of the fist rose sharply, causing the air to sizzle as it was scorched.

A punch was thrown!

The fist, carrying world-destroying power, collided with Qin Yan's long spear!

"Boom—!!!"

Ice and fire intertwined!

The deep blue ice Spear Intent collided with the crimson fire fist force, erupting in a deafening roar.

Two diametrically opposed forces fought frantically at the point of impact, eroding and wearing each other down.

Coldness spread while flames burned; the air was filled with bone-chilling frost and scorching heat waves.

The shockwave expanded outward, blowing away volcanic rocks from the ground, scattering distant ice sculpture fragments, and churning the heat waves in the air.

Then, both of them retreated simultaneously.

"Fight!"

"Fight!"

Almost at the same time, they both steadied themselves, let out a roar, and charged toward each other!

Instantly, the two turned into two streaks of light, flying into the sky.

One was white, and one was crimson.

The white one was Qin Yan, and the crimson one was the Molten Core Giant King.

The two streaks of light intertwined, collided, and separated high in the sky, then intertwined, collided, and separated again, their speed so astonishingly fast that they were almost impossible to track with the naked eye.

"Clang, clang, clang—"

"Boom, boom, boom—"

The sounds of weapons clashing with fists, the explosions of True Qi and flames, and the sonic booms of the air being torn apart intertwined, echoing across the entire sky.

The two exchanged blows extremely quickly; in just a short moment, they had already exchanged hundreds or thousands of moves!

Every collision was accompanied by flying sparks and surging airwaves.

Every retreat was the beginning of the next round of attacks.

The Molten Core Giant King's Body Refining path was extremely strong, and its skin was incredibly hard.

When Qin Yan's long spear landed on it, it could only leave behind shallow white marks.

Those white marks would quickly disappear under the scorching of the flames, unable to harm its foundation at all.

It wasn't until Qin Yan employed the three-attribute fusion True Qi—the sharpness of Taibai Sharp Gold True Qi, the vitality of Yimu Longevity True Qi, and the heat of Nanming Li Fire True Qi—that the three-colored light intertwined on the spear tip and finally managed to barely break through the opponent's defense!

After the three attributes fused, the sharpness of the spear tip increased significantly, finally allowing it to leave wounds on the Molten Core Giant King's rocky body.

The wounds were not deep, only an inch or two; for the fifteen-meter-tall Molten Core Giant King, they were merely superficial injuries.

But a wound was a wound; many small ones could eventually become fatal.

The Molten Core Giant King was also shocked that Qin Yan could break through its defense!

Their Molten Core Giant race was naturally gifted in the path of Body Refining.

They were born with the Physical Body strength of a third grade Body Refining Martial Artist and naturally reached Rank 6 Peak upon reaching adulthood.

And it was the king among Molten Core Giants, its defense having undergone Golden Body tempering to become even more powerful.

Yet the opponent was able to break its defense.

This boy's methods were simply astonishing!

What made the Molten Core Giant King feel even more frustrated was that its attacks were being blocked one after another by the opponent's long spear.

Its fists were heavy and powerful, each punch carrying a thousand-jun force, enough to smash a Martial Artist of the same rank into a meat patty.

But the opponent's Spear Technique was exquisite; he could accurately block its attacks every time, leaving its power with nowhere to be vented.

(Emmm, I originally thought I could finish the Secret Realm today, but I didn't... hehe.)
