67: When lightning turns into a sword!

“This…”

A Great Examiner was speechless, staring at the screen, unsure of what to say.

“No way, Xia Qi can actually fight the Dancing Giant Crab to a standstill?”

“No, which eye of yours saw a standstill? Xia Qi is clearly suppressing the Dancing Giant Crab, alright?”

“How did this kid do it? Is he perhaps an SSS-Rank Talent? This is the Dancing Giant Crab, an existence that no one has been able to defeat in the college entrance examination for so many years. He couldn't have defeated it, could he?”

“No, no, look, although Xia Qi’s offensive is very strong, the Dancing Giant Crab doesn’t seem to be seriously injured.”

As the lightning gradually dissipated, several Great Examiners also saw the situation on the battlefield clearly.

The Dancing Giant Crab was covered in lightning marks, and its grassy green body had turned a charred black, but in reality, its crab shell had not yet been broken.

“So tough?”

Xia Qi’s chest heaved as he took a breath.

In just this short time, he had maxed out the AOE damage of the Purple Extreme Wild Lightning + Nine Heavens Thunderclap combo skill.

The key was that he still hadn't knocked the Dancing Giant Crab down.

Even its crab shell was still intact.

“Wait… it’s not that there’s no damage, but that the damage has been dispersed.”

Looking into the distance, when Xia Qi saw the cracks on the Dancing Giant Crab’s shell, he immediately understood.

His attacks were still too crude.

The Dancing Giant Crab’s body was twenty to thirty meters, and the Purple Extreme Wild Lightning he summoned was only a few centimeters. Even if Nine Heavens Thunderclap covered its entire body,

The chaotic attacks were only suitable for clearing minor monsters. For high-Rank bosses like this, the damage being spread out prevented him from breaking their defense.

“I should focus on one point to maximize the damage.”

As Xia Qi’s words fell, the Great Examiners watching felt their scalps tingle.

He really did hit the nail on the head.

The Dancing Giant Crab seemed invincible, but in reality, as long as you could concentrate all damage on one point, there was still a way to defeat it.

But this was only theoretical.

To put it into practice, one must possess extremely strong capabilities.

Otherwise, like other examinees, it would be good enough to just escape the Dancing Giant Crab's attacks; how could you even think about counterattacking?

“This kid, not only is his Talent strong, but his combat awareness is also freakishly strong.”

“It really was as I said, this kid is probably going to be the top scorer in the national college entrance examination.”

“Quiet, quiet, watch carefully, the outcome is still uncertain.”

....

Just as Xia Qi was about to test his idea, a crab claw suddenly lunged towards Xia Qi’s head.

This attack was very sudden, without any warning.

Barely dodging the blow with Thunder Breathing, Xia Qi knew someone must be watching his examination, otherwise, using Instantaneous Movement wouldn't be so difficult.

Fortunately, the Dancing Giant Crab wasn't completely unaffected after enduring Nine Heavens Thunderclap.

Besides destructive power, the power of lightning also had a paralyzing effect.

It was very difficult for the Dancing Giant Crab’s massive body to avoid the numerous bolts of lightning, so it was actually constantly under the effect of paralysis.

Perhaps that last strike had already exhausted all its strength.

Watching the Dancing Giant Crab stop in place after one strike, Xia Qi thought to himself, as expected, the Dancing Giant Crab was paralyzed.

“Good opportunity!”

With eyes like lightning, Xia Qi did not continue to summon Frenzy Lightning but instead drew the Inferno Longsword from his waist.

He stared intently at the giant crab’s antennae, a smirk forming on his lips.

Now, it’s your turn to make a move.

He exhaled a puff of white mist, and the blade of the Inferno Longsword emitted a blue-purple glow.

Thunder Breathing!

Lightning Flash!

Zzzzt...

Energy surged through his body, and Xia Qi transformed into a streak of light, his figure instantly vanishing.

“What’s going on?”

“Why did he suddenly use a sword? Isn’t he a mage?”

“Uh, this kid couldn't be Dual Cultivation of warrior and mage, could he?”

“He even knows swordsmanship?”

Under the shocked gaze of the Great Examiners, Xia Qi’s figure was as fast as lightning. The one-meter longsword in his hand suddenly transformed into a three-meter lightning sword, charging towards the giant crab’s antennae at an extremely high speed.

Slash!

A roaring sound erupted.

Accompanied by a fleeting flash of lightning, the Dancing Giant Crab’s two antennae were split in two, directly severed.

“Crab… Crab!!!”

The Dancing Giant Crab, having suffered a heavy blow, suddenly became enraged and began to dance wildly, causing the entire ground to shake violently.

These antennae were its sense of touch and smell.

After being severed, its sensory functions failed.

But Xia Qi’s offensive wasn’t over yet.

Xia Qi, enveloped in lightning, landed on the Dancing Giant Crab’s head, then once again disappeared as a streak of lightning.

Lightning Flash again!

Lightning Flash continues to flash!

Flash for me!!!

Xia Qi used the Dancing Giant Crab’s body as ground, running at extreme speed around its massive body. From a distance, he looked like a blue-purple streak of light rapidly leaping around the giant crab’s body.

With each leap, the Dancing Giant Crab became more enraged, and a huge pit was trampled into the ground.

But no matter how the Dancing Giant Crab danced or raged,

This streak of light remained steadily wrapped around its body.

Until, Xia Qi’s figure appeared directly in front of the Dancing Giant Crab, and the Inferno Longsword in his hand had already broken.

He tossed the hilt onto the Dancing Giant Crab’s leg like trash, Xia Qi didn’t even bother to look back, already knowing the outcome.

“Thank you, thank you…”

The Dancing Giant Crab’s pupils began to dilate. After it uttered its last words, countless sword marks suddenly appeared all over its body.

Immediately after, countless blue-purple light beams emanated from the sword marks.

Boom!

In a massive explosion, the fifteen-meter tall, twenty to thirty-meter long Dancing Giant Crab disintegrated into scattered limbs flying everywhere.

Dark green blood rain then poured down.

Xia Qi used his last remaining energy to envelop himself, preventing himself from being contaminated by the foul-smelling blood.

“Oh my goodness!”

One Great Examiner finally couldn’t help but shout, the word “shocked” already struggled to describe his expression.

“Monster, Jiangcheng No. 1 High School really produced a monster!”

When everything returned to calm, several Great Examiners were now speechless, staring blankly at the screen, only able to use the word “monster” to describe Xia Qi’s performance.

At this point, only one minute had passed since the fifth round of the examination began.

Xia Qi had overwhelmingly defeated the fifth stage, known as the college entrance examination’s nightmare.

Xia Qi’s score, after stopping for only a minute, soared like a rocket.

23,600 points.

This represented a perfect score in the college entrance examination, regardless of the maximum score.

Such a score last appeared ten years ago, achieved by an SSS-Rank Talent.

At the same time, above Kyoto City.

Suddenly, the sky and earth changed color, and the temperature plummeted.

In the Void Realm, a giant whale, like a steel battleship, violently crashed into the city’s protective shield.

Crack!

A sound like shattering glass rang out, and the protective shield above Kyoto City…

Shattered…
