Chapter 475: Chapter 189: The Terror of the Fourth-level Killing Technique! Rapid Progress for the Top-grade Primordial Acupoints! The 30-Year Planetary-Level Ambition
In a spar that wasn’t a life-or-death battle, the possibility of accidental injury was negligible.
Besides, at their level, their bodies’ regenerative capabilities could be described as terrifying.
Even if some unexpected superficial wounds occurred, it was no big deal—they would heal in an instant.
The moment their eyes met, the air seemed to freeze.
In the next instant, the battle erupted!
BOOM!
At almost the exact same time, two figures shot up from their positions. The alloy-plated arena beneath their feet let out a tremendous groan, as if unable to bear the force.
Two afterimages flashed across the hundred-meter distance, converging violently in the center of the arena like a pair of colliding meteors!
CLANG—!
The tip of the Long Spear and the shaft of the long stick collided precisely in mid-air, unleashing a deafening clang of metal.
A visible shockwave radiated madly outward from the point of impact.
The violent force traveled up their weapons and into their arms, but it was instantly neutralized by their powerful bodies and exquisite techniques for dispersing force.
The first blow was a draw!
However, this was only the beginning!
A powerful battle intent erupted in Wan Kun’s eyes. With a flick of his wrist, the heavy long stick in his hand seemed to become weightless, transforming into an impenetrable screen of black shadows that descended upon Qin Feng with the force of a thunderclap!
Each shadow of the stick contained a peculiar fluctuation of Spiritual Energy.
Facing this torrential assault, Qin Feng’s gaze was as calm as still water.
His mind entered a state of absolute calm. Instructional images of ’Heavy Spear’—a killing technique from the Level 4 Spear Skill he had just acquired—flashed through his mind like a slideshow.
’...Use Mental Power as a guide to construct a stable triangular force field at three Spiritual Energy nodes...’
’...The moment you thrust, channel the aggregated Spiritual Energy, making it spiral along the spear’s shaft. The force can be increased by thirty percent...’
Relying on his combat instincts, which had long since reached a state of perfection, Qin Feng swung his Long Spear to parry Wan Kun’s attacks. At the same time, he clumsily and awkwardly tried to apply the methods of Heavy Spear in actual combat.
He channeled the silver stream of his Mental Power, attempting to touch and guide the surging golden Spiritual Energy within his body. Following the methods of Heavy Spear, he tried to construct the so-called "stable triangular force field."
However, there was always a vast chasm between theory and practice.
His guidance of his Mental Power was intermittent.
The force field he constructed was on the verge of collapse.
He felt like a toddler who had just learned to walk but was being asked to perform an incredibly complex gymnastic routine.
Wan Kun, in contrast, moved like flowing water, exuding the air of a Grandmaster.
His control over his Mental Power and the variations in his Techniques were perfectly integrated, without the slightest hint of sluggishness.
In his hands, the jet-black long stick was sometimes as swift as the wind, creating a dazzling array of illusions that filled the air.
At other times, it was as heavy as a mountain, with each swing carrying the terrifying power to sunder mountains and crack stone.
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!
The dense sound of clashing weapons was incessant, like a downpour in a raging storm.
Under Wan Kun’s relentless assault, Qin Feng began to retreat step by step.
’Wan Kun’s speed... is so fast!’
In the heat of the fierce confrontation, Qin Feng’s pupils suddenly shrank.
He was horrified to discover that Wan Kun’s speed when executing his moves was not the least bit slower than his own. In fact, in certain bursts of speed, Wan Kun was even slightly faster!
This discovery sent a tremor through him.
He had a monster-class body, after all!
Its potential was comparable to that of a Starry Sky Giant Beast cub of the same rank!
At the same life force index, his absolute strength, absolute speed, and even his endurance should have been dozens of times greater than the standard for a human with a Golden Bloodline!
This had always been his greatest asset, the thing he relied on to crush opponents of the same rank!
Yet now, an opponent whose life force index was only a hundred points higher than his had actually matched and even faintly surpassed him in speed!
’Is this the power of a Fourth-level Killing Technique?!’
Qin Feng instantly understood the key.
The perfect fusion of Mental Power and Spiritual Energy didn’t just increase destructive power; it explosively enhanced a Martial Artist’s every physical function!
By relying on his "Minor Accomplishment" level of mastery in a Level 4 Stick Skill killing technique, Wan Kun had forcibly bridged the enormous gap between their physical foundations!
Another dozen rounds of fierce clashes passed.
On the arena, golden spear phantoms and black stick shadows intertwined wildly, throwing off sparks as brilliant as holiday fireworks.
Although he was still at a disadvantage, Qin Feng’s retreat had stabilized.
And in the midst of battle, his understanding of how to integrate Mental Power into his spear skill went from completely clumsy to gradually getting a feel for it.
He began to vaguely grasp the "point" where Mental Power and Spiritual Energy combined, and he started to clumsily attach threads of this fused energy to the tip of his spear.
However, just as he was starting to get the hang of it, the battle suddenly came to an end.
Wan Kun’s combat experience was far more seasoned than he had imagined!
After another fierce exchange, Wan Kun seized an opening—a momentary lapse in the flow of Qin Feng’s Mental Power and Spiritual Energy!
A sharp glint flashed in his eyes. He suddenly changed his technique; no longer pursuing wide, powerful strikes, his long stick transformed into a venomous snake. From an unbelievable angle, it tapped lightly but with perfect precision against the shaft of the Long Spear in Qin Feng’s hand.
