152: Chapter 152 The Thrill of Battle

The fourth floor.

The scene transforms into a square space resembling a martial arts arena.

Lin Yun once again chooses a longsword as his weapon.

【Trial Tower, fourth floor, challenge begins.】

White light converges. This time, the White-Light Figure that forms is also wielding a longsword.

Moreover, the moment it sets its stance, a smooth, flawless, and restrained Sword Intent permeates the area!

"Sword Intent at the Realm of Perfection!" Lin Yun's eyes narrow.

Not only that, but the White-Light Figure Moves slightly, manifesting several solid afterimages with mysterious and unpredictable footwork—it is also a movement technique at the Realm of Perfection!

"Yellow-tier Peak sword technique at Perfection! Yellow-tier Peak movement technique at Perfection!"

An opponent with physical abilities exactly the same as his own, and also possessing two Yellow-tier Peak Combat Techniques at Perfection!

"Well done!"

Lin Yun is not alarmed but delighted; his Battle Intent surges within his chest!

Previous opponents were too weak, leaving him unable to fully enjoy himself.

This one, however, looks like a real challenge!

"Battle!"

He shouts softly, pushing both Thousand Shadow Steps and Startling Swan Shadow to their limits, transforming into a torrent of sword light interwoven with afterimages, actively attacking the White-Light Figure!

"Clang! Clang, clang, clang! Swish—!"

The two figures collide instantly, sword light crisscrossing and afterimages overlapping in a dazzling display.

The sounds of metal clashing, Sword Qi cutting through the air, and footsteps striking the ground are continuous!

This time, it is no longer a one-sided crushing defeat.

The White-Light Figure's sword technique is equally exquisite, with tricky angles and fierce offensives.

Its movement technique is similarly ethereal and unpredictable, always able to dodge Lin Yun's lethal Moves at the critical moment and counterattack.

This is a true match of equals!

Lin Yun feels the blood in his entire body boiling, his mind highly focused.

Every subtle movement, every circulation of Qi and blood, every change in sword Move, requires him to give his all and calculate precisely.

This evenly matched, exhilarating battle is exactly the tempering he needs right now!

In the monitoring room, everyone watches the intense battle on the screen, holding their breath, their faces full of shock and excitement.

"Good heavens! This White-Light Figure is exactly like Lin Yun!"

"Incredible! Truly incredible! Both sides are evenly matched, their Combat Techniques are equivalent; this battle is truly a Peak showdown!"

"Lin Yun has finally met his match! Seeing him fight so happily, it's clear he hasn't had such a satisfying fight in a long time!"

Shen Qingqiu sits in the main seat, a gratified smile on her face.

This is Lin Yun's true strength, without suppression, without reservation.

Fully unleashing his Combat Techniques, fighting to his heart's content—this is when he is most dazzling.

In the virtual world.

The battle between Lin Yun and the White-Light Figure continues intensely.

The two exchange blows, sword light intersecting.

Figures shuttle back and forth; the rhythm of the battle gets faster and faster, and the collision of Qi and blood force becomes increasingly violent.

After fighting for nearly ten minutes, neither shows the slightest sign of fatigue.

Instead, they fight with growing courage, their sword light becoming sharper and their movement techniques more agile.

Lin Yun stares intently at the White-Light Figure's movements, carefully observing the flaws in its Moves.

Although the sword technique used by the White-Light Figure is as fast as a gale and every Move is tightly linked,

it has one fatal flaw: occasionally, when connecting to the next Move, there is an extremely subtle pause.

It is just that this pause is too brief for an ordinary person to notice.

But Lin Yun, after ten minutes of fierce fighting and with his century of martial arts insights as a foundation,

has long since become familiar with the White-Light Figure's battle rhythm and accurately captures this subtle pause.

Just as the White-Light Figure launches another attack, thrusting with its sword, at the moment of connecting its Moves,

Lin Yun's eyes narrow, seizing this golden opportunity.

He Moves his feet, pushing Thousand Shadow Steps to its full potential.

His figure instantly appears at the side of the White-Light Figure, gripping his longsword, fully executing Startling Swan Shadow.

The sword light is sharp, thrusting straight toward the White-Light Figure's heart.

This strike is fast, accurate, and ruthless, with no superfluous movement, giving the White-Light Figure no chance to dodge.

"Pfft—!"

The sword light pierces the White-Light Figure's heart, and its body instantly freezes.

The white light surrounding it gradually dims.

Immediately after, it turns into specks of starlight and dissipates in the virtual world.

Lin Yun pants slightly, standing with his sword, a satisfied and happy smile on his face.

This fight was exhilarating!

However, the challenge is not over yet.

Black light converges, and a new opponent appears.

This time, the Black Light Warrior is holding a spear that exudes a chilling Aura.

The tip of the spear points at him from afar, and a Spear Intent that is similarly flawless but even more domineering and sharp locks onto Lin Yun.

Facing the Black Light Warrior who wields a spear and possesses a domineering Aura, Lin Yun does not dare to be the slightest bit careless.

He quickly adjusts his breathing, calming the fluctuations of Qi and blood brought about by the previous fierce battle, his longsword humming as he gathers the sharpness of Startling Swan Shadow once more.

The Black Light Warrior Moves!

Without probing, it thrusts its spear—the spear strike is like a Dragon!

The spear tip tears through the air, emitting a sharp hiss, carrying an unstoppable penetrating power as it thrusts straight at Lin Yun's heart!

The speed, power, and angle are all perfect.

Combined with the agile footwork brought by the movement technique at the Realm of Perfection, it seals off most of Lin Yun's space for evasion.

Lin Yun's pupils contract slightly, pushing Thousand Shadow Steps to the limit.

His figure turns into several afterimages, drifting backward to the side.

At the same time, his longsword traces several arcs, attempting to block and deflect the spear's momentum.

"Clang! Clang, clang!"

Spear and sword collide, sparks flying everywhere!

Every collision sends a condensed and domineering force through the spear shaft, causing Lin Yun's wrist to go slightly numb.

This Black Light Warrior's spear technique is not only at Perfection but also extremely fierce and aggressive, completely different from the exquisite and agile sword technique of the previous White-Light Figure.

In terms of raw power and violence, it is even superior to the sword technique!

"Great spear technique!"

Lin Yun praises silently, his focus intensifying.

He does not panic; the century of martial arts insights granted to him not only provides Combat Technique Realms but also a near-instinctive combat wisdom and insight.

Facing this unfamiliar and powerful spear technique, he chooses not to clash head-on.

Instead, he pushes Thousand Shadow Steps to its limit, the afterimages shifting between real and fake.

He weaves through the martial arts arena, avoiding the sharpest point of the spear.

At the same time, his longsword no longer pursues a one-hit kill but transforms into a dense net of sword light.

Parrying, guiding, sticking, or deflecting...

He constantly probes and senses the rhythm, force changes, and energy manipulation methods of the opponent's spear technique.

Although the Black Light Warrior's spear technique is fierce, Lin Yun's response is like a master butcher dismembering an ox, using skill to break force.

The Thousand Shadow Steps at the Realm of Perfection provide unparalleled evasion ability.

The Startling Swan Shadow at the Realm of Perfection ensures that, aside from evading, he can always respond to the most dangerous attacks with the most exquisite sword Moves.

Lin Yun's brain operates at high speed.

His century of martial arts experience acts like a vast database, constantly comparing and analyzing the characteristics of this unfamiliar spear technique.
