13: The clown is actually myself?! Li Wei goes completely insane!

Above the ring, the atmosphere solidified.

Instructor Battle Axe announced the rules.

"The rules for sparring: stop when a point is made."

"One side losing the ability to fight, or actively admitting defeat, will be considered a loss."

He glanced at Li Wei, his tone growing a few shades heavier.

"Lethal blows are strictly forbidden. Violators will be expelled directly from the Dragon Shield Bureau and held accountable!"

"Understood!" Li Wei responded loudly, but his gaze remained fixed on Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan shrugged indifferently.

"Understood."

"Ding—"

The match began.

Almost the instant the bell rang, Li Wei moved!

He showed no hesitation, launching directly into a killing move.

His hands crossed, and a blue light swirled in his palms, forming three crescent-shaped wind blades.

"Die!"

He let out a low roar.

The three wind blades formed a character 'Product' shape, sealing off Lin Yuan's escape routes from above, middle, and below.

Their speed was incredibly fast!

Their angles were devious!

The newcomers below the stage felt their hearts leap into their throats.

Any one of them, facing this move, would not be able to completely dodge it!

However.

Facing this seemingly inescapable situation.

Lin Yuan's movements were so simple they were baffling.

He merely... tilted his body slightly in advance.

Then, he shifted his right foot back half a step.

Just such an insignificant movement.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The three incomparably sharp wind blades grazed his clothes and flew past, striking the guardrail at the back of the ring.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

Three crisp sounds, sparks flew everywhere.

Three scratches were left on the hard guardrail.

Everyone's eyes widened.

He... he dodged it?

Just like that?

Was it a coincidence?

Li Wei was also stunned.

He stared intently at Lin Yuan, his face filled with disbelief.

"I don't believe it!"

Li Wei roared, as if to prove something.

He thrust both hands forward, and the energy within his body surged wildly.

This time, it wasn't just three wind blades.

Instead... dozens!

Dense, blue wind blades poured down on Lin Yuan like a torrential rain, covering the sky and earth.

"Let's see how you dodge this time!" Li Wei's face was twisted.

Such a dense area attack left no blind spots for evasion!

However, what happened next completely overturned everyone's understanding.

Lin Yuan moved.

He didn't retreat; instead, he took a step forward.

His left foot tapped the ground, and his body swayed slightly.

His right shoulder dropped, and his head tilted gently.

Every movement was just right.

Each sidestep allowed a wind blade to narrowly pass his nose.

Each duck of his head allowed another wind blade to graze his scalp.

He moved through the deathly rain of wind blades, his steps calm, his posture elegant.

Not even a corner of his clothes was touched.

The newcomers below the stage were completely dumbfounded.

"This... how the hell can a human do this?"

"Ghost! It must be a ghost!"

"How does he know where the wind blades will attack from? Can he predict them?"

On the high platform, Battle Axe leaned forward slightly, his face showing a hint of solemnity.

But only Lin Yuan himself knew.

All of this was thanks to Electromagnetic Induction.

In the eyes of others, those were wind blades too fast to react to.

But in his sensory world, every time Li Wei mobilized energy, every time his muscles exerted force.

Even the trajectory and speed of the wind blades were merely streams of information.

He wasn't predicting.

He was looking at the "standard answer."

This battle, from the very beginning, was unfair.

"Is that all?"

Lin Yuan dodged while still having the leisure to taunt.

"Did you not eat, or something?"

"Your attacks are so weak, they're too feeble even for a massage."

"Hey, put some effort into it!"

Each sentence was like a slap, fiercely hitting Li Wei's face.

Humiliation!

This was blatant humiliation.

The whispers from the surroundings made him even more furious.

"Pfft... too weak even for a massage, that's too mean."

"Li Wei has completely lost face; he's being made a fool of."

"It seems Lin Yuan didn't even use his full strength in the previous test!"

Rage consumed Li Wei's reason.

He suddenly stopped his attack, his chest heaving violently, his eyes bloodshot.

"Useless..."

"You forced my hand!"

He let out a roar.

He clasped his hands together in front of his chest!

Boom!

A violent surge of energy, several times stronger than before, erupted from his body!

A blue gale, centered on him, swept outwards in all directions, making it impossible for the crowd below to open their eyes.

"This energy fluctuation... something's wrong!" Battle Axe's expression changed on the high platform.

This power already exceeded the scope of someone who had just entered the Condensation Realm!

In the spectator stands, a researcher next to Su Wanqing pushed up his glasses and whispered, "Strange, Li Wei's energy fluctuations... there's a kind of 'corrosiveness' that doesn't belong to the wind element."

Below the stage, everyone's faces were filled with terror.

Li Wei completely ignored the horror of others.

All his focus was poured into the technique he was currently condensing.

"Secret Art—"

He spoke slowly, his voice hoarse and frantic.

"Azure Gale Storm!"

As his words fell.

The gale gathered around him suddenly compressed and rotated!

Countless miniature wind blades were swept into it, forming a blue tornado connecting heaven and earth!

Wherever it passed, the ring's floor was carved with grooves.

It carried an aura of destruction, grinding towards Lin Yuan's position!

This was a true area-of-effect attack!

There was no escaping it!

Facing this storm that covered the entire ring, the playful expression on Lin Yuan's face finally disappeared.

He took a deep breath, his body sinking slightly into a standard horse stance.

Crack—

A faint cracking sound was heard.

The specially made alloy floor beneath his feet actually developed cracks due to the force of his squat.
