Chapter 302: Chapter 284: Tiger’s Roar Breaks the Soul-Chaser, Shattering Arrogant Bones
"Zhou Qi already conceded to you, yet you kept pressing him and even injured him. That violates the rules of sparring, doesn’t it?"
"Lin Yi?"
"Lin Yi, COUGH, COUGH, COUGH... You’re back?"
The moment Xu Tai and Zhou Qi saw Lin Yi walk in,
they both had completely different reactions.
A glimmer of delight appeared in Zhou Qi’s eyes.
But Xu Tai’s eyes grew even more crazed.
Lin Yi glanced back at Zhou Qi. "Leave the rest to me. Go get some rest."
"Okay!"
Zhou Qi nodded and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
Wei Nan and Sun Tao helped him up and supported him as he left.
When Lin Yi turned back to Xu Tai,
he could tell something was wrong from the man’s crazed, bloodthirsty gaze.
He knew a little about Xu Tai, after all.
They had interacted a few times.
The heir to the Breaking Army Spear Technique, a man who possessed a respectable Martial Arts spirit.
Especially during sparring matches, he always knew when to stop.
But the Xu Tai of today was like a completely different person.
This struck Lin Yi as strange.
’It’s only been a few days. How did he become like this?’
"Senior Xu Tai, are you..."
Before Lin Yi could finish his sentence,
the bloodlust in Xu Tai’s eyes intensified.
He sneered, "Lin Yi, I’ve been waiting for you for far too long!"
"None of this trash is worthy of being my opponent! Only you are qualified to fight me!"
"Come on, bring out your Black Gold Tiger Head Spear!"
"Today, we must settle this once and for all!"
Xu Tai’s expression was savage, his tone arrogant.
Seeing this, Lin Yi sighed softly and nodded.
Facing this version of Xu Tai, he couldn’t be bothered to say anything more.
SHING—
The Black Gold Tiger Head Spear appeared in his hand.
Lin Yi fixed his gaze on Xu Tai. "Please."
The next moment, Xu Tai charged at Lin Yi with wild abandon.
And in that instant, Lin Yi’s mind stirred.
The moment Xu Tai entered the range of his perception, his movements seemed to slow down in Lin Yi’s eyes.
This change, though sudden, seemed incredible to Lin Yi.
But it also filled him with ecstatic joy.
Just as Xu Tai closed in,
Lin Yi smashed the Black Gold Tiger Head Spear directly at him.
BAM—
There was no move to dodge.
Even Xu Tai himself couldn’t understand how he had been hit.
The immense force sent Xu Tai flying.
BOOM—
Xu Tai’s body slammed heavily onto the ground.
The scene that had just unfolded
had actually taken place in just a few short seconds.
When Xu Tai had launched his all-out attack, lunging at Lin Yi,
all the students watching the spectacle from outside had their hearts in their throats.
Even Zhou Qi and Wei Nan were breaking out in a cold sweat for Lin Yi.
Xu Tai’s spearmanship had become increasingly sharp and ferocious.
Even if Lin Yi managed to dodge this blow, it would have looked like a difficult struggle.
But who could have imagined
that Lin Yi would just stand there, without moving a single step,
and send Xu Tai flying with a single strike of his spear?
"Holy shit, is Lin Yi this strong now?"
"He’s not just strong, he’s ridiculously strong!"
Wei Nan and Sun Tao were both utterly shocked.
Ever since Xu Tai had fused the Breaking Army Spear Technique with the Breaking Army Soul-Chasing Spear Technique,
his spearmanship had become nearly unrivaled in all of Xingwu University.
And for the past few days, Xu Tai had been seeking out students who practiced the spear to spar with.
As a result, he went from confident at the beginning to slowly becoming crazed.
By now, he was like someone who had suffered a cultivation deviation, looking down on everyone.
His attacks were vicious, every spear strike aimed to kill.
Just yesterday, two sophomores who sparred with him were both sent to the School Medical Bureau for treatment.
If Lin Yi hadn’t returned in the nick of time today,
Zhou Qi would have likely followed in their footsteps and ended up recuperating in the School Medical Bureau for a few days.
Who would have thought that when Lin Yi stood there,
Xu Tai wouldn’t even be able to take a single move from him?
This made Wei Nan and Zhou Qi, who had just been sweating bullets for Lin Yi,
all let out a long sigh of relief.
"Lin Yi is still the same old Lin Yi. I feel like the gap between us and him has widened again!"
"Widened? We can’t even see his shadow anymore!"
"What kind of monster is he? How did he get so strong?"
Wei Nan and the others couldn’t help but exclaim in amazement.
And at that moment,
Xu Tai struggled to his feet.
Lin Yi glanced at him with a faint smile. "Senior Xu Tai, want to continue?"
"Hmph, Lin Yi, it’s not over! Of course we’re continuing! Again..."
Xu Tai roared and charged at Lin Yi once more.
CLANG—
BOOM—
With just two strikes of the spear, Xu Tai was sent flying again.
And that was with Lin Yi having no intention to kill.
Otherwise, he would have been a dead man after that last exchange.
PTHOO...
He spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
Xu Tai felt his vision go black.
After a long moment, he climbed to his feet again.
Lin Yi didn’t try to persuade him anymore, just stared at him with an ice-cold gaze.
Xu Tai had completely lost it.
Completely disregarding the risk of serious injury, he charged at Lin Yi again and again.
However, the result never changed.
This time, Lin Yi didn’t even truly trade blows with him.
As soon as Xu Tai entered the range of Lin Yi’s perception, he was effortlessly defeated.
After several more times in a row,
Xu Tai was sprawled on the ground, unable to even stand up.
He glared at Lin Yi, his eyes looking like they would pop out of his head.
Lin Yi, in turn, watched him with a placid gaze.
"Senior Xu Tai, still want to go?"
As the words fell, Xu Tai gritted his teeth and tried to get up again.
But halfway up, his body gave out with a THUD, and he collapsed again.
He struggled for a long time but couldn’t get back on his feet.
It was then that several other people from the Gun Skill Association all ran in from outside.
They rushed to Xu Tai’s side and whispered, "President, stop fighting! We’ve lost!"
"President, it’s already over! Don’t fight anymore!"
Xu Tai glared venomously at Lin Yi.
Just as he was about to say something,
his vision went black again, and his consciousness rapidly faded.
Then, with a THUMP, Xu Tai fell unconscious.
Seeing this, the members of the Gun Skill Association scrambled to lift Xu Tai and hurriedly ran out of the Weapon Hall.
At this moment, an eerie silence fell over the Cultivation Field.
Only the sound of panting could be heard.
The students watching from outside all stared at Lin Yi inside the Weapon Hall with complex expressions.
No one knew what they were thinking.
But their expressions held a new mixture of awe and fear.
There was even some admiration.
A martial arts candidate from the Old District...
...being able to evoke admiration from these local students, who had always considered themselves a cut above the rest and were full of pride...
...Lin Yi was probably the only one.
When Lin Yi put away his Black Gold Tiger Head Spear and walked out of the Weapon Hall,
he completely ignored everyone else’s stares and walked over to Zhou Qi and Wei Nan.
"Let’s go. Time to get your injuries checked at the School Medical Bureau."
