Chapter 439

"Hoo!!"

A violent wind suddenly rose on the arena, and Song Song Zhengzai swung his battle blade.

"Heavy Mountain Blade Technique" — Mountain Style!

The towering mountain smashed down suddenly, and Lin Qi sensed the heavy aura rushing toward him.

His expression was calm, and a violent aura also erupted from his body in an instant.

His eyes released golden light, and the black great spear in his hand was wrapped in golden sharpness, becoming a golden great spear.

A violent wind rose from his body, and in an instant, he stepped forward, rushing out like a golden tiger.

The golden great spear in his hand thrust out suddenly, the golden sharpness and the mountain-river force converged, and as the spear tip shook, the sharpness also condensed and shot out a golden spear glow.

In an instant, Song Song Zhengzai's heart warned him frantically, and he felt a crisis sufficient to be fatal.

Especially the opponent's spear glow, which made him feel intense danger.

He slashed his battle blade suddenly, colliding with the golden spear glow.

A single spear glow wants to push me back?!!

He exerted force suddenly, his special ability 【Heavy Earth】 erupted, his strength was blessed, and his whole body radiated light.

"Bang!!"

The golden spear glow collided with his battle blade, the air exploded, and the violent wind raged.

Song Song Zhengzai felt an intense energy impact, the stone armor on his body shattered, and his body couldn't stop retreating backward.

"Da da da!!"

Song Song Zhengzai was shocked; just a single spear glow pushed him back?

What kind of strength is this?

It is well known that a martial artist's strongest move is the combination of their weapon and special ability.

Unleashing a special ability alone, while powerful, is not enough to deal with a martial artist of the same level.

But he was actually pushed back by a spear glow.

So Song Song Zhengzai was horrified.

"Swish~"

The next second, Lin Qi appeared before his eyes, turning into an afterimage.

Lin Qi swung the black great spear, the force circulating, emitting a booming sound.

Thrusting out like lightning, the spear tip shook, a cold light flashed, and killing intent surged.

"Bang!!"

"Puff~"

Song Song Zhengzai's chest was guarded by hard armor highly condensed from brown stone.

But Lin Qi easily penetrated the hard armor, gravel splashed, then pierced through the combat uniform, skin, and shredded his heart.

Making his stone armor protection useless.

Blood sprayed from his body, and his body was pierced through by the great spear.

Song Song Zhengzai felt the pain in his chest and looked at Lin Qi in disbelief.

He actually died just like this.

The defensive power brought by 【Heavy Earth】 was of no use at all.

"You..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he turned into nothingness and dissipated.

He was teleported back to the spectator stands.

His face was gloomy; he didn't even have time to unleash his minor divine ability before being stabbed to death by a single spear.

Special abilities of the earth attribute all have unique capabilities in defensive power.

The special ability 【Heavy Earth】, while superior under the blessing of strength.

But in terms of defensive power, it was not weak at all.

Yet it couldn't withstand Lin Qi.

Originally, he thought that no matter what, he could rely on 【Heavy Earth】 to withstand two or three moves.

Now it seems he overestimated himself.

The opponent's strength had already far surpassed his own.

He was like someone at the foot of a mountain, while Lin Qi was already standing on the mountainside; they were not on the same level.

"Junior Brother Song Zhengzai, don't be sad."

Not far away, a tall and handsome boy with gray hair smiled confidently:

"If I match up against Lin Qi from the Xia Guo in the later matches, I will personally eliminate him."

Li Li Hexuan beside him also nodded:

"Senior Brother Jin Jin Zhongyu is an SS-rank genius in his fourth year, a Sixth Realm martial artist of Marrow Refining; he will definitely be able to defeat Lin Qi from the Xia Guo."

Song Song Zhengzai nodded after hearing this; no matter how strong Lin Qi was, there was a limit.

And an SS-rank genius in their fourth year was not someone he could deal with.

……

【Match 10: Lin Qi (Xia Guo) wins!】 On the arena, the intelligent system announced the result, and at the same time, a screen appeared so that all the audience could see.

The audience who finished watching this battle were all stunned.

Especially some people who had participated in the Global Freshman Tournament before.

And the audience from the Silla Nation were all broken.

"How could this be?"

"Defeated just like that? Is this our Silla's SS-rank genius?"

"Has he been training hard at all?"

Geniuses from other countries also sighed:

"As expected of Lin Qi; over the past year, he has become even stronger."

"An SS-rank genius might no longer be his opponent."

"Did you see that? He actually awakened a special ability; could it be that he already possesses the strength of an SSS-rank genius?"

……

!

In the high-level spectator stands,

After King Shanhe's firm face finished watching this battle, he also revealed an appreciative smile:

"Very good!"

"Lin Qi is very good; even placed in the Sixth Realm, he is not weak."

"He must have already practiced the Vajra Fist to Great Completion, and his control over his special ability has reached Great Completion, allowing him to unleash his power to the maximum extent."

"Many geniuses are only able to practice the Five Elements Fist to Great Completion when they reach the Seventh Realm."

"Becoming an SSS-rank genius is more than enough!"

The several high-level officials beside him also revealed smiles after hearing this.

They were waiting for this sentence from King Shanhe.

With his endorsement, after the tournament ended, they could upgrade Lin Qi to an SSS-rank genius.

……

After Lin Qi was teleported back to the spectator stands, SS-rank geniuses from other countries like Genzaburo Miyamoto, Victor, and Javier all frowned.

They had already given up.

Once they matched up against Lin Qi, they might as well just surrender.

Lin Qi sat in his seat, and the others didn't have much of a reaction.

Lin Qi was now among the top five in the Disaster Beast Trial Tower at the Firmament Academy.

An SS-rank genius in their second year could only rank around 80th at the Firmament Academy.

They were completely no match for Lin Qi.

The subsequent matches continued, with 8 matches taking place simultaneously.

Chu Yu and Du Du Shanyan, two SSS-rank geniuses, also took the stage, and they easily defeated their opponents to advance.

Besides them, Shen Heng, Meng Meng Yuxuan, Lei Shuang, and Zhang Zhang Tianyang also easily defeated their opponents and achieved victory.

Besides them, there were other powerful contestants from other countries.

Quite a few were not even weaker than Lei Shuang and Zhang Zhang Tianyang.

They were also his future opponents.

After watching for a while, he went offline to train.

Inside the martial arts room, Lin Qi slowly walked out of the white virtual pod.

As the tournament progressed, his training time was becoming shorter and shorter.

He felt that his spear technique was also about to break through, within these few days.

……

8:00 PM

After a full day, the second round of the main tournament officially ended.

Basically everyone from the second-year grade at the Firmament Academy had advanced.

Inside the lecture hall of the Firmament Building.

All 51 students were present.

Liu Yuanzhang looked around at everyone and praised slowly:

"I am very happy that everyone was able to enter the third round."

He raised his hand to project a huge green screen and continued:

"The upcoming third round is the truly dangerous one; a large number of people among you may be eliminated."

"According to the backend data of the Red Realm, among the 1,000 contestants who advanced, 624 are awakened geniuses, averaging 208 per grade."

"90 SS-rank geniuses."

"15 SSS-rank geniuses."

After Liu Yuanzhang finished stating the data, everyone felt shocked.

Calculating it this way, the number of geniuses was really not small.

The top-tier geniuses alone exceeded 105.
