CLANG! CLANG!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ye’s spear moved like a dragon as he switched to the more agile Soaring Dragon Form, continuously parrying the three razor-sharp shield fragments that appeared and disappeared unpredictably, attacking from tricky angles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Cheng Shanhe didn’t just stand there and watch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he saw Lin Ye pinned down by the shield fragments, he charged!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Shanhe’s build wasn’t particularly burly, but the sheer power of his charge as he raised that massive shield and smashed it ferociously toward Lin Ye’s face sent a sudden chill through him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This shield bash was immensely powerful, carrying an immense, crushing force!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This kid’s skill in manipulating his own Qi and Blood is far more advanced than I imagined!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Judging by its practical effect, I definitely can’t take this shield bash head-on!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as it happened, he was completely pinned down by the three high-speed rotating shield fragments, his escape routes totally cut off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A glint flashed in Lin Ye’s eyes, and he steeled himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BAM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He let out a muffled grunt, taking the full force of the solid shield bash with his shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On one hand, Lin Ye genuinely wanted to test the extent of Cheng Shanhe’s attack power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, on the defensive end, the boy was clearly top-tier, whether in terms of his Cultivation Technique, martial skills, or the quality of his Profound Iron Shield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, Lin Ye hadn’t forgotten his ultimate goal for this endeavor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had always longed to find a true opponent, someone strong enough to force him into his P2 phase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the heavy blow merely forced Lin Ye back a few steps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, a spinning shield blade grazed him from behind, leaving a shallow, bloody gash on his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-117!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-56!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Lin Ye could see the two red numbers floating above his health bar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In terms of raw damage, the shield bash was still the more powerful of the two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the scary-looking gash on his back, it had actually only broken the skin and hadn’t even reached the muscle layer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ye’s current base Defense Power was absurdly high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Lin Ye take a heavy shield bash head-on and then get grazed by a shield blade, yet still act as if nothing had happened, a delighted light instantly bloomed in Cheng Shanhe’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Big brother, you seem to be great at defense too!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My dad told me since I was little, you have to be able to take a punch before you’re qualified to throw one!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, I am not alone in my path!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the little brat on screen spouting all that pompous, classical-sounding crap, Dong Dongchen couldn’t help but laugh in exasperation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’How old are you, spouting \"I am not alone in my path\"? Are you studying for your grad school entrance exams or something?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ye said nothing. He didn’t like to taunt during a fight, and he had no intention of interacting with his opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From that brief exchange, however, he had already gained a rough understanding of the boy’s strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Solid fundamentals, elite weaponry, versatile in both offense and defense, and excellent tactical awareness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was indeed on a completely different level from all the opponents he had been matched with before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...that was all there was to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ye decided not to hold back any longer and unleash his full strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The momentum of his spear changed in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He switched from the agile Soaring Dragon Form to the wide-sweeping, relentlessly advancing Breaking Army Form!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SWOOSH!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ye’s figure left a faint afterimage as his speed skyrocketed in an instant!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, the smile on Cheng Shanhe’s face froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He keenly sensed that his opponent had merely been probing him until now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, he was finally getting serious!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the very moment Lin Ye’s speed exploded, in Dong Dongchen’s livestream, the bullet comments, after a brief pause, completely erupted!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Holy shit? So fast! Is this the same fucking guy from before?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He’s at least thirty percent faster!

Chen, say something, Chen!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahahaha! Mystery solved! When this Goblin Soldier was fighting Chen, even when he started to counter-attack at the end, he was just probing and not using his full strength?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Goblin: I wasn’t even serious yet, how’d you go down so fast?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dong Dongchen’s face flushed bright red as he stared at the screen full of mockery and teasing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was so embarrassed he could have dug a three-bedroom apartment out of the floor with his toes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dong Dongchen could only cough a few times, pretending not to see the comments, and continued to narrate the battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two clashed, exchanging several blows in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dong Dongchen’s mouth moved almost on muscle memory as he narrated at an extremely fast pace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Too fast!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cheng Shanhe’s shield blades can’t keep up with his rhythm at all!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On screen, the three spinning shield blades now looked like three headless flies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were left far behind by Lin Ye’s phantom-like Body Technique, able only to chase futilely after his afterimages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Shanhe had clearly realized this as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mature composure on his young face finally vanished, replaced by an unprecedented gravity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He made a split-second decision.
