I got a newbie—perfect chance to have some fun crushing a noob.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So fast!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi was secretly startled—no wonder he was a True Person; his movements were agile and crisp, nothing like the stiff, mechanical motions of the AI.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Swoosh~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi pushed off with his feet, muscles in his thighs coiling and blood qi exploding simultaneously as he swung his black great spear forward, the shaft trembling to draw a radiant circle in the air, spinning a dazzling spear bloom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shhh~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The curly-haired man swung his great sword, icy light engulfing the space as sword shadows surged forward, launching the first strike with wind-like speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Clang! Clang! Clang~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the center of the arena, sword and spear collided instantly; the crisp ring of metal on metal echoed all around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Icy sword light, suffused with lethal intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The curly-haired man unleashed sword shadows, attacking from every direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shadow Rise Form!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So fast!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi was startled—the curly-haired man’s strikes were lightning-fast, leaving no time to react before the blades were already before his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sword technique he used clearly had one defining trait: speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Too slow! Too slow!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bro, if your speed’s this sluggish, how are you gonna survive in the arena?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The curly-haired man suddenly taunted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi froze slightly—AIs never spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shhh!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A single thrust shot out, icy light flashing—suddenly piercing through the spear, appearing right before Lin Qi’s face, ready to kill him in the next instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Newbie, welcome to the Crimson Realm!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The curly-haired man laughed, and though his words were spoken, his movements grew even faster!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Retreat!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi jolted awake, his body snapping into motion, arm slamming sideways as the spear instantly shifted position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Clang~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the spear and sword clashed, the great sword veered off course.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Puff!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sharp blade slashed across Lin Qi’s face, drawing a bloody line; the pain jolted his nerves, forcing his body to instinctively stagger backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi frowned—too close. One fraction slower, and that blade would’ve pierced his eye. He’d nearly died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A formidable opponent!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The curly-haired man was surprised: “You dodged that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kid, you won’t be so lucky next time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he blurred forward like an arrow loosed from a bow, spinning his sword into a flurry of icy light as he attacked again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huu~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battle offered no respite—the terrifying killing intent surged once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi exhaled, heart pounding violently, blood surging through his veins, his eyes growing sharper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He recognized the sword technique: The Swift Shadow Sword Art, a Black Iron-grade manual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swift as wind, coming and going without trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strikes were lightning-fast, the technique mastered even better than his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Truly strong!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes brightened further; every major muscle group in his body tensed, blood qi surging through him as he exploded forward, veins bulging on his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His speed surged dramatically; the spear swung with overwhelming momentum, radiating fierce energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his vision, the curly-haired man’s blade thrust, his body twisting and turning, sword and motion perfectly synchronized, moving like lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shadow Pierce Form!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lin Qi saw it clearly now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Solutions flashed into his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Left!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tilted his head, shifted his body, letting the blade graze past his cheek, then ducked low—dodging again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two near-fatal strikes evaded in one second!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The curly-haired man froze in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the critical moment, Lin Qi seized the split-second hesitation in the curly-haired man’s stance, coordinating waist and hand to unleash a sudden thrust—his black great spear shot forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Point Break!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With precise thrusting, he shattered the Swift Shadow Sword Art.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the curly-haired man’s eyes, a sudden glint of spear tip flashed—brimming with lethal intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Puff~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sharp spear tip pierced his heart, blood spurting wildly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Battle Ended: “My Great Sword” is dead!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bang!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The curly-haired man collapsed to the ground, his vision filled with a figure in a black mask looming above him—beneath the mask, cold, indifferent eyes stared down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you for the lesson.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The curly-haired man tried to speak, but dissolved into nothingness within the arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the curly-haired man opened his eyes again, he was back in his personal space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it, I actually died.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was frantic, face twisted in frustration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I lost to a newbie?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, I must’ve been careless—that’s why he won.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The curly-haired man comforted himself with an excuse, eager to rematch and reclaim his pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately opened matchmaking, desperate to crush “Yang Jian” and restore his honor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, on the other side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Battle Ended!

I nearly lost.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recalling the battle, Lin Qi still felt a chill—the tension, the thrill, were sensations he’d never experienced before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mind was razor-focused; victory or defeat hinged on a fraction of a second—his spear moving just 0.1 seconds too slow, and he’d be dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But after one fight, the gains were enormous. I’ve gained new insight into the ‘Crushing Mountain Spear Art.’”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Spear Art and Mobility improved too fast—every fight boosts them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Again!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi selected another match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three minutes later, two figures appeared in the arena—this time, Lin Qi’s opponent was a beautiful woman in green combat gear, wielding a long sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Newbie, let me give you a lesson!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman stared at Lin Qi with a predatory grin, like a hunter eyeing prey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what met her was a black great spear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, an hour passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Battle over.

There’s a huge gap in our realms—he likely already reached over 90% of First Stage.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi recalled the battle: after his first match, he was matched with four more opponents of similar strength; he grew increasingly comfortable and won three of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the final match, the opponent was far too powerful. Even with his acute intuition, he was no match—he was cut down in a single slash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ranking feature?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi clicked “Yes,” and the interface began to change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Chi Realm Arena Rankings (Tianhai Branch）】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Nickname: Yang Jian】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Points: 12】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Rank: 328】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi frowned. 328th? Did that mean there were 328 people stronger than him in the Chi Qiong Martial Arts Gym?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shook his head.
