210: One move

“Good! Then let's decide the victor in one battle!” Lu Shijie said straightforwardly.

After the referee, Guo Feng, on the stage loudly announced this decision, whether below the stage or on the Martial Arts Home, people were excitedly shouting, because everyone knew that this match would undoubtedly be the grand finale of this Inter-school Competition!

Although many people still couldn't discern what cultivation Realm Long Yuan had reached, his ability to defeat Valley Fei Yu in itself proved his strength, and as a Prodigy specially brought in from the Nanming Base by Qianlong Middle School for this competition, Zhou Yuan's combat power was self-evident. When two powerhouses clashed, it was bound to be spectacular.

Under everyone's gaze, Zhou Yuan walked onto the stage, carrying a long spear…

As he walked, his Aura gradually unfolded, a rather dense Qi and blood circulated around his body, and a faint phantom flickered, instantly attracting everyone's attention!

“Xuanwu?!”

“Oh my god, it's actually Xuanwu Bloodline!!!”

“This is the Xuanwu Bloodline, one of the five legendary Divine Beasts, no wonder Zhou Yuan was specially invited by Qianlong Middle School to assist in the battle!”

“This is stable now…”

“Not bad, Zhou Yuan, well done!”

“Wake up and give it your all, you must win…”

“Whether we eat porridge or meat next depends on you, Zhou Yuan…”

Those who bet on Qianlong Middle School naturally supported Zhou Yuan, but those who were fans of Long Yuan kept cheering him on. There was also an overlapping group among these two factions, and these people were in a difficult position. If they supported Zhou Yuan, they really liked Long Yuan. If they supported Long Yuan, they had bet on Qianlong Middle School to win. They were truly torn…

“Nanming Zhou Family, Zhou Yuan!”

“First Middle School, Long Yuan!”

After they exchanged names, Zhou Yuan asked again, “Don't you use a weapon?”

Long Yuan raised his fist, smiling without a word…

“Very well, then I won't be polite!” Zhou Yuan's expression became serious, he thrust his long spear forward, assumed a starting stance, his steps slightly shifting, as steady as Mount Tai…

The battle between Long Yuan and Valley Fei Yu earlier had greatly shocked Zhou Yuan. He had already obtained some information about Long Yuan from his team members, and what he was most concerned about was Long Yuan's Mental Energy talent. This talent was quite astonishing. If Long Yuan truly Cultivated to a certain Realm, then he would pose a great threat to him. After all, he hadn't made very good preparations when he came to Fengyang this time. He originally just intended to make a brief appearance and gain some experience, but he didn't expect that even in this small third-level base, there were hidden Dragons and crouching tigers. Not to mention Lai Min and Valley Fei Yu, an even stronger opponent like Long Yuan had appeared. This filled him with vigilance. If he didn't go all out, and was ambushed by Long Yuan's Mental Energy, then capsizing in a ditch would make him a laughingstock in his Family, and even potentially affect his future reputation in Qianlong Academy. Therefore, he absolutely had to guard against the opponent's hidden moves and defeat Long Yuan.

In Zhou Yuan's opinion, Valley Fei Yu's previous defeat was very likely due to being ambushed by Long Yuan's Mental Energy. Otherwise, why would her Bloodline Power, which was operating perfectly, suddenly be interrupted, leading to her failure?

Facing such a talented opponent, Zhou Yuan went all out from the start. One must know that his Bloodline was Xuanwu, and he also had an A-grade earth attribute talent, so defense was inherently his advantage. At this moment, after releasing a Xuanwu Blood Shield to establish a good defense, his other Profound Rank High Grade Martial Skill—Startling Rainbow Spear—launched a fierce attack!

A lion uses its full strength even to hunt a rabbit!

“Kill!!!” Zhou Yuan roared, his long spear locking onto Long Yuan. His steps shifted, his body moving with the spear, and under the pressure of Xuan Power, the spearhead actually spat out a yellow spear light about a foot long, like a startling rainbow, streaking across the sky and attacking Long Yuan!

“Wow!!!”

“Spear Light?!!!”

“Could Zhou Yuan also be a Martial Ancestor?!”

“Too terrifying!!!”

Only by achieving Xuan Power expulsion and reaching a certain Realm could such a long spear light appear. Therefore, many discerning people were shocked when they saw Zhou Yuan pierce out such a terrifying spear light. They all stood up in astonishment, their eyes wide and bright…

They clearly understood that this spear light seemed to be only a foot long, but with this foot-long spear light, Zhou Yuan could almost defeat over ninety-five percent of his opponents in this Acquired Realm. This was beyond doubt…

“Holy shit!!!” @Tomorrow Slaying Only Beasts.

“Brother, I didn't expect Zhou Yuan to actually possess the power of a Martial Ancestor!” @Only Hand Supporting Galaxy.

“Indeed, Zhou Yuan has already perfectly integrated his Bloodline Power into his Xuan Power. The Fusion of the two powers has unleashed Martial Ancestor-level strength. It seems there's still a bit of hope…” @Tomorrow Slaying Only Beasts.

“What? Only a bit of hope? Can't possessing Martial Ancestor power guarantee a win against Long Yuan?” @Only Hand Supporting Galaxy.

“A guaranteed win is out of the question. After all, Long Yuan also possesses Martial Ancestor power. Although it's unclear whether Long Yuan has Bloodline Power, he indeed unleashed Martial Ancestor-level power. Now, the main thing is to see what Martial Skill Long Yuan Cultivates and whether he can defend against Zhou Yuan's Startling Rainbow Spear. It's just…” @Tomorrow Slaying Only Beasts.

“Just what?” @Only Hand Supporting Galaxy.

“Long Yuan possesses high-level footwork. I'm afraid Zhou Yuan's Profound Rank Martial Skill might not even be able to hit him…” @Tomorrow Slaying Only Beasts.

“Indeed, brother, have you discerned which Martial Skill Long Yuan's footwork is?” @Only Hand Supporting Galaxy.

“Can't tell! Seems like I've never seen it before…” @Tomorrow Slaying Only Beasts.

“What? Even you, brother, haven't seen it?!” @Only Hand Supporting Galaxy.

“Haha, there's nothing surprising about that. There are so many Martial Skills in the world, how could I have seen every single one? But what surprises me is that even now, I haven't figured out how this footwork operates. I am truly ashamed…” @Tomorrow Slaying Only Beasts.

As the two discussed, the battle on the arena had officially begun. Seeing the spear light approaching, Long Yuan remained unhurried, not moving at all. Amidst the screams of numerous fans, the spear light was about to strike when Long Yuan suddenly swayed, evading the spear light. Immediately, he punched the spearhead at its seven-inch mark, and with a “bang,” a bright yellow light burst forth. Zhou Yuan felt a huge force, and his hands couldn't hold the spear shaft. The Startling Rainbow Spear flew out of his hand and shot towards the sky!

“Oh!!!” Everyone cried out in surprise, their eyes involuntarily looking upwards. They saw the long spear, like an arrow released from a bowstring, shoot straight into the high sky after that strike, leaving only a faint trailing shadow for people to ponder…

With another loud “bang,” people's attention was drawn back to the stage. A figure was seen flying up, thrown far away, and heavily slamming onto the arena floor, his head already buried in the ground, with only a pair of legs still wiggling on the ground…

“Ah?!!!” Everyone was dumbfounded…

But seeing only Long Yuan standing on the stage, gently wiping his fist, they knew who that person who fell headfirst was…

The entire venue was silent for a while, until someone finally reacted, “Long Yuan won!”
