Chapter 199: The Unbearable Jin Yi

Jin Yi looked utterly shocked, pointing at the magma pillar on the platform.

It was clear he was truly stunned by Luo Ge.

"Ahem, of course you can. Just don't think about reneging on the deal."

He had already struck a deal; how could he let Jin Yi renege? Today, at all costs, he must fight Jin Yi.

Of course, he could hold back a little.

Seeing Luo Ge's serious expression, Jin Yi said no more, resolving in his heart to proceed with caution.

If he couldn't hold on, he would simply admit defeat; after all, it was just a sparring match, and admitting defeat wasn't shameful.

Jin Yi continued, "Then we must change locations. Continuing to fight here, I'm afraid you'll shatter the entire Sea Cliff."

"Fine."

A few breaths later, Luo Ge followed Jin Yi, both transforming into two streaks of light that slashed across the sky, leaving only Lei Zha in the warehouse with a bitter expression.

Knowing this, he wouldn't have such high expectations.

Who knew the gap was so terrifying?

A desolate grassy wilderness, rarely visited by people.

Jin Yi had specifically chosen a remote corner on Zhidao.

Even if the battle destroyed it beyond recognition, it would affect nothing, and repairing it would be easy.

A wisp of clear breeze brushed past; Jin Yi and Luo Ge stood on opposite sides, gazing at each other.

Jin Yi couldn't help but say, "How about we change the condition? I truly worry that if you don't hold back, you'll knock me out completely."

Jin Yi's words were mainly a joke, but there was indeed a thought to avoid it if possible.

Netero often asked him to spar, but he would always find various reasons to avoid it.

Over time, the old man grew tired of seeking him out; after all, without even speaking, he knew what excuses Jin Yi would make.

In many cases, Jin Yi's phone was unreachable.

"How about this? I'll introduce you to someone; he also loves sparring to refine his martial arts."

"Although he's a bit older, his strength still belongs to the top tier."

Jin Yi suddenly thought he could use Netero as a shield.

He believed that an opponent like Luo Ge would surely appeal to Netero.

Luo Ge thought for a moment: "The one you're talking about isn't the old man Netero, is it?"

"I've already fought him."

Jin Yi was stunned.

Already fought him?

Really or fake?

After a pause, Jin Yi asked hesitantly, "Then... who won?"

He didn't know why he asked that; after all, in his heart, Netero was still an existence of top-tier strength.

He should... not lose to Luo Ge, right?

"After this fight, you should know who won."

Luo Ge's body sank slightly; he placed his hands one forward and one back, assuming a combat stance, expressing his subtext.

Come!

Jin Yi narrowed his eyes slightly; after a moment, he smiled, casually storing away his robes, and assumed a combat stance as well.

All that talk is useless.

Let the hands decide the truth!

Almost instantly, both released their aura simultaneously; two different streams of Nen shot straight into the sky!

Their auras collided, drawing a clear dividing line in the middle; the powerful wind pressure made the grassland tremble.

A strong gale made their sleeves billow, constantly producing slapping sounds, yet at this moment, both had only each other in their eyes.

In an instant.

Two figures vanished from the spot simultaneously.

When they reappeared, the two were already facing each other in combat, their fists wrapped in thick Nen, the power overwhelming.

【Hardness】!

Boom!!

In a flash, jellyfish-shaped force suddenly exploded, as if the air had been compressed by their fists until it burst; the sound echoed to the clouds.

Feeling the immense force transmitted through his hands, Jin Yi's expression changed; he gritted his teeth, and even his face unconsciously tensed.

What kind of immense force is this?!

With the same force, he had only felt it from Netero, and it even seemed slightly inferior.

Unable to match!

Jin Yi's figure violently retreated several meters, barely dissipating the impact force; in contrast, Luo Ge stood still in place, unaffected.

The distinction between strong and weak was clear at a glance!

【Truly terrifying~】

【Such Nen and power; perhaps even the old man now cannot match?】

【He is so young; not yet an adult, yet possessing such a level, with strength sufficient to rank among the world's top tier.】

【Truly a peerless prodigy.】

Jin Yi shook his slightly trembling right hand, secretly marveling, feeling ashamed of his own inadequacy compared to Luo Ge's terrifying talent.

He was not yet old, yet he possessed talent that differed from ordinary people and strength with few rivals in the world.

Yet this brilliant talent appeared dim before Luo Ge, completely unworthy of display.

Although the battle had only just begun, Jin felt a vague premonition in his heart.

He would probably be unable to win.

"The warm-up is over; now it is time to get serious."

Luo Ge said calmly.

The moment his words ended, he suddenly appeared on Jin's right side, a sharp whip-kick breaking the air and whistling toward him.

Jin's eyes sharpened; the reflexes honed through countless battles allowed him to shift his body in time, crossing his arms before him.

A streak of cold light flashed.

Jin's arms were covered by mental energy; suddenly, his arms took on a metallic texture, dyed with a layer of ink-black luster, greatly increasing their defense.

【Steel Hands】: As long as mental energy is consumed, the hands can be turned into fine steel, causing attack power and defense to rise.

Drawbacks:

One: Once activated, the hand posture becomes fixed; for example, if used while clenched into a fist, it remains fixed as a fist and can move again only after release.

Only the hands can become fine steel; the arms are unaffected and can still move freely.

Two: This ability can be used only on the hands; other body parts cannot employ it.

……

This was not Jin's own mental ability, but rather his own talent!

If Luo Ge was an unparalleled prodigy,

then Jin was at least a prodigy as well.

Jin possessed two terrifying talents, but in sum, they could be called one—talent for learning.

Jin's learning ability was extraordinarily formidable; it seemed that no matter what field of knowledge, he could quickly master it and draw further conclusions from a single example.
