Chapter 139: Ultimate Combo! Complete Domination!

The second phase is a stronger form that MMO dungeon bosses enter only after their HP drops to a certain threshold.

It was strangely fitting to describe the current state of Xu Jingming and Kilan on the arena.

"This..."

Kilan on the arena was stunned—how do you also have a form transformation?

Feeling the overwhelming pressure emanating from Xu Jingming, he asked instinctively:

"S-rank combat technique?"

"You guessed right, but unfortunately, no reward..."

Xu Jingming's dragon-like vertical pupils, wreathed in lightning, held not a trace of emotion.

He raised his left hand, gently clenching it toward Kilan, and a voice as majestic as a god rang out:

"Thunder Prison!"

Zzzzt!

In an instant, blue-purple lightning formed a cage, trapping Kilan completely in place!

"It's a restriction-type combat technique! Bad! He's about to unleash that S-rank heavenly lightning technique!"

Kilan's face turned pale—if Xu Jingming succeeded, there would be no chance left.

"Enough! Blood Armor!"

Kilan's blood surged violently, forming a defensive layer over his body like armor.

Immediately, his towering two-meter-two frame forcibly burst out of the Thunder Prison!

Crackling—

Despite the dual protection of Blood Armor and a B-rank combat suit,

the intense lightning from the prison still struck him so hard he gritted his teeth in pain!

He felt his entire body numb, his movements slowed.

Yet before he could catch his breath, a sonic boom erupted—something deadly was rushing toward him!

"Charge!"

Kilan hastily used a movement-type combat technique to dodge sideways.

The next instant,

a lightning spear whizzed past the edge of his body!

Boom!

The lightning spear slammed into the arena floor behind him and exploded violently!

The ground cracked open into a deep crater, trembling slightly, as a mushroom cloud brimming with wild blue-purple lightning slowly rose from the impact point.

"Such terrifying lightning spear!"

Kilan swallowed hard—had it struck him directly,

he'd be dead, or at least critically wounded.

But at that moment, Xu Jingming's lightning flickered—and vanished from his spot!

The next instant,

the towering figure of his opponent, wreathed in lightning, appeared before him.

Simultaneously, a black-blue spear wrapped in lightning stabbed forward like a coiling dragon:

"Lightning Gale Break!"

"So fast?"

He had just used a movement-type technique; his blood was still churning, unable to activate another.

Faced with this thrust, he could only hastily raise his long blade in front of him!

Clang!

The spear struck the blade with a deafening crash!

The immense force transmitted through the blade sent Kilan staggering backward, barely holding his balance!

Done!!

The thought had barely flashed through his mind when the towering figure before him, like a thunder god, swung the spear again!

"Chain Lightning Spears!"

Spear shadows laden with terrifying lightning surged forward—Kilan, his center of gravity shattered, could not defend!

He could only watch helplessly as the spear pierced toward him!

"If I can withstand this one move, I still have a chance!"

Kilan's face twisted with determination—he prepared to endure the blow head-on!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!...

In less than half a second, Xu Jingming thrust seven spears in rapid succession!

When Kilan finally regained awareness, seven bloody holes gaped across his body!

Yet under the dual stimulation of his S-rank enhancement ability and adrenaline, Kilan felt almost no pain!

At last, he stabilized his stance, his face contorting fiercely as he swung his blade:

"Now, it's my turn!"

Facing Kilan's counterattack, Xu Jingming's resolute face showed no change—he simply uttered one word:

"Detonate!"

As soon as the word left his lips, lightning flickered within the seven wounds on Kilan's body!

The next instant,

Boom! The seven wounds on Kilan's body erupted violently!

Under the force of the thunderous explosions, his body was blasted backward as if struck head-on by a speeding train!

He only stopped when he slammed into the boundary's mist shield.

"Puh—"

Lying on the ground, Kilan's chest was a mangled mess of blood and flesh—he spat out a mouthful of blood immediately.

The next instant,

he felt the sharp tip of a spearpoint pressed against his forehead.

One more inch forward, and it would pierce his skull, ending him.

"I... surrender."

Feeling the lethal threat, Kilan spoke with difficulty.

Though he hated to admit it, he had truly lost.

And lost without any dignity.

Before Xu Jingming's overwhelming physique and masterful control of lightning abilities and combat techniques,

he had no resistance at all!

Perhaps his fate had been sealed the moment both entered their special states...

"Winner: Xu Jingming!"

Vice Principal Jiang Mo of Jin University announced the result with slight surprise.

Thus ended this direct clash between two S-rank combatants.

Kilan, the veteran third-rank S-rank, had been mercilessly crushed by Xu Jingming in near-total domination!

"Sss..."

"That's terrifying."

Only when Vice Principal Jiang Mo declared the winner did the freshman spectators snap out of their shock.

Their faces filled with stunned awe.

Fast! Too fast!

They had expected this S-rank versus S-rank battle to last over ten minutes, even half an hour.

Yet in reality, it ended in under two minutes!

And Xu Jingming's relentless, dominant posture throughout left a deep impression on everyone.

A lightning ability user had out-muscled a Qianghuaxi ability user?

How was that even possible?

They couldn't understand.

"I have to say, Ming's technique chaining was flawless—he gave Kilan zero opening!"

"Yeah, if it were me, I could never execute it so cleanly."

"Hah, if it were you, you couldn't even block one of Kilan's casual swings."

Though the freshmen didn't understand what techniques Xu Jingming used,

they could clearly see how fluidly the techniques flowed into one another.

They gave Kilan not a single moment to breathe!

"Use Thunder Prison to restrict movement, then Lightning Spear to force Kilan to expend his movement technique.

Then use Lightning Flash to charge in, link into Lightning Gale Break to disrupt his balance, and finish with Chain Lightning Spears.

This combo was perfectly chained—if any single step failed, such a clean victory would've been impossible."

The three-school instructors in the front row nodded repeatedly.

Compared to the new students, they could analyze far more detailed information.

The more they analyzed, the more terrifying they found Xu Jingming to be.

On one hand, to execute this sequence of combat techniques smoothly, one must possess an extremely strong combat awareness!

On the other hand, one must also have a high level of proficiency in these combat techniques.

Then the question arose.

As of now, they knew that Xu Jingming had already cultivated two S-rank combat techniques.

And the Thunder Flash, Thunder Spear, and others he just used were all A-rank combat techniques.

With so many high-rank combat techniques, how had Xu Jingming achieved such mastery?
