Chapter 785: Dead End! Xu Jingming Wins!

"This is... the SSS-rank Lightning technique, Wan Leitian!"

"An SSS-rank technique has been unleashed—looks like Xu Jingming won't drag this out any longer."

"Of course he won't—if he drags it on, he's definitely going to lose!"

"......"

The psychics seated in the audience, all at least sixth-rank, naturally could see the battlefield clearly.

Knowing Xu Jingming couldn't afford to stall, his victory or defeat now rested entirely on this technique!

So, one by one, they held their breath and fixed their eyes on the holographic projection ahead.

Leng Yuexi also clenched her small fists, her pale, lovely face filled with tension.

Zilaa! Zilaa!......

Lightning poured down, each bolt carrying an impact force of tens of thousands of kilograms!

Even with a powerful Wind-element shield holding firm, Wu Xuan's speed plummeted under the overwhelming force.

"It's working!"

Xu Jingming's spirit surged—the lightning swirling around his body suddenly blurred like mist!

S+ rank movement technique: Huan Lei Bu!

Shuuu—

His flight speed skyrocketed, accompanied by a sonic boom as he shot toward Wu Xuan!

Behind him, a golden halo spun, and Xu Jingming, wreathed in lightning, looked like the sovereign of thunder.

Wherever he flew, all lightning bolts instinctively parted to let him pass.

But at that moment, Wu Xuan's voice came from ahead:

"Xu Jingming! Don't think only you can use an SSS-rank technique—I have one too! Wind God Tornado!!"

Huu—

A violent tornado, over a hundred meters tall and five hundred meters in radius, erupted, shielding Wu Xuan within!

At this moment, the once formless gales took on tangible shape.

They blocked every bolt of lightning, and debris from the ruined city rose into the vortex, sucked into the storm.

Yet correspondingly—

Wu Xuan was fixed in place like the eye of the storm, utterly unable to move!!

"It's the SSS-rank technique, Wind God Tornado! Both offense and defense!"

"Exactly—the fierce winds block all lightning. Even if Xu Jingming tries to charge in, he couldn't withstand it."

"Hah! We've won! Master Wu has won!"

"......"

At this point, Leng Shu and the others finally relaxed completely, laughing loudly.

But then, Xu Jingming, as if blind to the tornado, charged straight into it.

"What?! He's still charging in?!"

"Tsk tsk—looks like Xu Jingming doesn't know how strong this technique is."

Leng Shu and the others were startled at first, but then relaxed entirely.

They had seen Wu Xuan use this technique before.

In the wilderness, even an upper eighth-rank lord-class beast couldn't survive it.

How much less could Xu Jingming?

But before they could celebrate long, they suddenly realized—Xu Jingming's speed inside the Wind God Tornado hadn't slowed at all.

He didn't even seem to have a single wound!

"How is this possible? You can actually tank the Wind God Tornado?!"

Watching Xu Jingming hurtle toward him at breakneck speed, Wu Xuan, trapped in the eye of the storm, was utterly stunned.

"You forgot I'm not just an elementalist—I'm also a martial artist, right?"

Xu Jingming's laughter rang out from afar.

At this moment, his towering, muscular frame—three meters tall—was completely sheathed in liquid lightning.

The liquid lightning flowed together, faintly forming the shape of armor.

S-rank technique: Mingyu Lei Kai!

Shuuu shuuu shuuu...

Inside the tornado, wind blades continuously slashed across his body.

These powerful wind blades could slice through Mingyu Lei Kai in an instant.

But Xu Jingming didn't just have Mingyu Lei Kai—he also had an SS-rank battle suit!

With both Mingyu Lei Kai and the battle suit reducing the impact, the wind blades that finally struck him still carried over ten thousand kilograms of force.

But for Xu Jingming's formidable physique, it was utterly negligible!

And though Mingyu Lei Kai kept being slashed apart, it also kept regenerating, maintaining its defense.

That's precisely why he could endure the Wind God Tornado's damage!

"A defensive technique?"

Wu Xuan also noticed the Mingyu Lei Kai on Xu Jingming's body.

But he still couldn't understand.

Even with the defensive technique and battle suit reducing the damage, the wind blades inside the tornado had lost their sharpness.

But even just from impact alone, each blade should still carry over ten thousand kilograms!

And hundreds of these tiny wind blades struck Xu Jingming every second!

Yet he still endured it!

"What kind of monster are you?" Wu Xuan felt despair.

If he himself charged into the Wind God Tornado, he'd be reduced to a puddle of flesh in an instant.

Worse, while the technique was active, he couldn't move.

And if he stopped casting, he'd be pinned down by Xu Jingming's dense lightning, unable to create distance.

In other words, at this point, it had become a dead end!

Just then, golden lightning flashed ahead.

Xu Jingming suddenly closed the hundred-meter gap and appeared before him.

Shuuu—

His right hand gripped the air—and a massive halberd materialized in his grasp.

"This battle ends here!"

Cang Lei Ba Wang Qiang!!

Gong!!

The halberd, brimming with golden lightning, slashed down like lightning.

Wu Xuan was a pure elementalist—his physique was pitifully weak.

He didn't even see Xu Jingming's movement before the sharp blade severed his head!

Puch—

Blood spurted like a geyser from his neck; the Wind God Tornado instantly collapsed.

Wu Xuan's corpse fell helplessly to the ground with a thud.

"This is the fate of an elementalist who lets a martial artist get close."

Xu Jingming stood proudly in midair, golden lightning flickering over his body.

Good thing he wasn't just an elementalist—he was also a martial artist.

Whether at range or close combat, he had no weaknesses.

"Sure enough, the six-stat warrior is the best." Xu Jingming smiled.

Had his physique been weaker, unable to withstand the Wind God Tornado's assault—

He never would have won this match.

Outside, in the audience seats, with Wu Xuan's death, everyone fell into silence.

They never imagined the match would end this way.

The referee was momentarily stunned, but quickly snapped back and announced loudly:

"Round Four: Xu Jingming wins!"

"Leng Yuexi's team wins with three victories and one loss, claiming the final victory in this match."

After the referee announced the final result, the previously silent audience erupted in gasps and murmurs.
