"He's actually going head-on."
Lin Feng's actions instantly roused the thirty thousand spectators.
The mysterious and dazzling Soul Skill was indeed brilliant, but the head-on fighting style could stir the spectators' emotions and make their blood boil.
"Go, Lin Feng!"
Some girls couldn't help screaming.
In Hongyun University, even if he refined a Grade 1 demon spirit, the rich and handsome Lin Feng still has many female fans.
Zhang Xingyu never imagined that Lin Feng would be so arrogant. His eyes flashed with astonishment. Although they're both Grade 2 Martial Artists, Lin Feng has just entered Grade 2, while he's already at the pinnacle of Grade 2. He's only a step away from Grade 3.
How could Lin Feng have the courage to go head-on against him?
Facing Lin Feng's sharp fist, Zhang Xingyu's fighting spirit surged. Facing the attention of tens of thousands of spectators, he didn't dodge or defend. Fiery red spiritual energy covered his fist, bringing along a scorching aura as he threw out a punch as well.
"Boom!"
A thunderous sound exploded on the stage. Lin Feng took three steps back, while Zhang Xingyu took five steps back before coming to a stop.
It was Lin Feng's first head-on clash, and he actually won.
This was beyond the expectations of all the teachers and students.
"Damn."
"My dog eyes have been blinded."
"How is this possible? Lin Feng's strength is actually stronger?"
"I knew it. Without a trump card, Lin Feng wouldn't dare to act like an invincible Grade 2 Martial Artist."
Many students exclaimed, finding it unbelievable. Zhang Xingyu's face slightly changed. His lowered right hand slightly trembled. He didn't hold back and went all out.
At this moment, Zhang Xingyu's gaze was on Lin Feng. A thought flashed through his mind, "Martial Technique?
Or is it a difference in cultivation techniques? "
A trace of doubt flashed through Zhang Xingyu's heart.
Just now, Lin Feng didn't use any martial technique, but purely used his physical strength. Only when the difference in cultivation techniques is too great would it be possible to surpass a realm and win against him in strength.
However, he's cultivating a Grade 8 cultivation technique. Even if Lin Feng's cultivation technique is a King Tier cultivation technique, it's impossible for him to win so easily.
Unless it was a Deity level cultivation technique?
However, that was simply impossible.
How long had it been since Linfeng became a martial artist? In such a short period of time, even a monstrous martial artist would not be able to successfully cultivate a divine level cultivation technique.
Could it be that he was born with divine strength?
In a corner below the arena, compared to the enthusiastic audience, six people's faces changed. Five young men and one young girl had serious looks in their eyes. As the next challenger, Lin Feng's strength was so terrifying that they wouldn't have any advantage in a pure martial arts duel.
"I don't have an advantage in terms of strength, and Linfeng's combat talent is stronger. He also knows two Rank 3 Martial Techniques. I can only rely on Demon Spirit Possession."
Linfeng's strength made Zhang Xingyu understand that he was no match for him in a pure martial arts duel.
"As expected, Linfeng is not that simple. Without some strength, how would he dare to declare war on all Rank-2 people?"
A thought flashed through Zhang Xingyu's mind. When Linfeng took the initiative to attack and flew over, Zhang Xingyu's figure retreated. In the process of retreating, a faint light enveloped his body.
As the light dissipated, a crackling sound came from his bones. His figure suddenly grew taller. Originally, he was about 1.8 meters tall, but now, he's two meters tall. Both of his legs became strangely slender. His calves were deformed, with an obvious curvature.
Not only his height, even the muscles on his body began to expand. His body was covered with grey hair. His originally black hair turned green. Two white, crescent-shaped fangs protruded from the side of his mouth. His eyes turned cold green. The joints on his hands grew longer and larger, and his nails turned into sharp claws.
At this moment, Zhang Xingyu looked like a werewolf walking upright.
"Grade 9 demon spirit, Storm Wolf!"
Many people exclaimed.
Even in Hongyun University, a student that can refine a Grade 9 demon spirit is very rare.
Storm Wolf, a wind attribute demon spirit. Demon spirit possession, it doesn't have a strong increase in strength or elemental attack. However, it can give a Demon Spiritualist unparalleled speed.
Swift and violent speed, in addition to the wolf's sharp claws, can easily tear a person's body apart.
After the demon transformation, Zhang Xingyu coldly looked at Linfeng, as if he was looking at his prey. Both of his legs slightly bent, forming an unimaginable curve.
Whoosh!
Both of his legs suddenly straightened. Zhang Xingyu's body was like a bow as he jumped up. Like lightning, he appeared in front of Linfeng. His sharp claws clawed towards Linfeng's chest.
Zhang Xingyu originally trained in wind attribute cultivation technique. Speed is his advantage. Now that he's in demon transformation, his speed has nearly doubled.
The ferocious speed, along with the wind pressure, made Linfeng slightly squint his eyes. His face was calm as he looked at the sharp claws whistling in front of him. Linfeng slightly tilted his body. The sharp claws scratched past his ear.
With a light tap of his feet, Linfeng was like a shadow, appearing beside Zhang Xingyu like a ghost. With a flip of his palm, a silver dagger appeared and slashed towards Zhang Xingyu's neck.
A chill came from his neck, causing Zhang Xingyu's face to change. He immediately turned his body slightly, dodging to the side.
After a failed attack, the dagger didn't stop and continued to slash downwards.
"Dang!"
Zhang Xingyu blocked with his claws. Sparks flew and a crisp sound rang out. His right hand clenched the dagger tightly. In the next moment, Zhang Xingyu wanted to snatch away Linfeng's dagger. However, the dagger was flipped over. With the advantage in strength, Zhang Xingyu couldn't control it. Not only were two of his nails cut off, the dagger also pierced into his palm, leaving a deep wound.
He took a step back and retreated. Fresh blood dripped down his arm. The piercing pain from his palm made Zhang Xingyu's green eyes even colder. The uneasiness in his heart deepened.
Speed had always been his advantage. But now, he couldn't do anything to Lin Feng, even if he was in his demon transformation state.
Although he was fast, Linfeng's Lightning Steps were also fast.
In terms of straight line speed, he was even faster than him.
However, Linfeng's speed was fast, but the specialty of Lightning Steps was that it was straight. In the process of moving forward, there was no way to change direction. If there was danger, it would be difficult to stop quickly. It was far from being as agile as him.
As long as he faced Linfeng directly, a Rank 3 Lightning Steps wouldn't be much of a threat to him. If not for Linfeng's rich battle experience and perfect control of timing, he would have been caught by him long ago.
"First Soul Skill: Gale."
As he chanted in his heart, a green light lingered around Zhang Xingyu's feet. The light became brighter and brighter, as if he was stepping on two green clouds.
"Gale."
Linfeng immediately recognized this Soul Skill.
Gale, Silver Soul Skill.
This is a Soul Skill that many speed-type Demon Spiritualists would absorb.
Although it's very common, it's very practical.
After using this Soul Skill, Zhang Xingyu's speed became even faster. Linfeng knew that he might not be able to keep up.
"This challenge was originally unfair to you. You're already possessed by a demon spirit. Originally, I didn't want to use a Soul Skill on you. However, your strength is too strong."
Zhang Xingyu said in a serious tone, "I can't lose this battle."
Towards this, Linfeng's expression didn't change. He didn't have any reaction.
In his view, his opponent spoke too much nonsense. Knowing that there was a live broadcast, he purposely said it for the whole country's audience to hear.
Seeing that Linfeng didn't have any reaction, Zhang Xingyu didn't continue with his nonsense. His figure moved, leaving behind an afterimage as he charged towards Linfeng. However, when he was two meters away from Linfeng, he didn't attack. Instead, he tapped the ground with his feet and circled around Linfeng, looking for an opportunity to attack.
Linfeng looked at Zhang Xingyu's running figure and slowly rotated his body.
"Damn it, this brat is simply a veteran. He doesn't have a trace of panic. He's very experienced."
Seeing that no matter how he changed his position, Linfeng's gaze would always be locked onto him even if his body couldn't keep up, Zhang Xingyu lost his patience as his Soul Power continued to deplete. Without any hesitation, he bent his legs and shot towards Linfeng. At the same time, his sharp claws emitted a faint red glow.
"Second Soul Skill, Fang."
Fang, a Silver Soul Skill. It could give weapons and claws a faster attack speed and penetrating power.
This time, facing Zhang Xingyu who had used two Soul Skills, Linfeng surprised everyone once again. He didn't dodge and charged straight at him. At the same time, the dagger in his right hand was tilted downwards. A dazzling light streaked across the air and appeared in Zhang Xingyu's eyes.
The eyes were the most sensitive and fragile part of the body. The sudden appearance of the light caused Zhang Xingyu to close his eyes. He cursed in his heart and frantically waved his claws. At the same time, he wanted to retreat.
But from the moment he closed his eyes, the battle had already ended.
Linfeng was originally charging towards Zhang Xingyu. His figure swayed and dodged the sharp claws. Linfeng clenched his right fist and punched towards Zhang Xingyu's chest. Because he was wearing long-sleeved sportswear, no one noticed that there were golden scales on Linfeng's arms.
"Kacha … …"
Following a crisp sound, a figure flew out, drawing a parabola in the air before landing heavily on the ground.
Looking at the figure that had collapsed on the ground, the thirty thousand spectators' eyes froze. The cheers and discussions came to an abrupt end at this moment.
Defeated!
Zhang Xingyu, who was ranked sixty-third on the second-year ranking, a Peak Second Grade, refined a Ninth Grade demon spirit and absorbed two Soul Skills, was defeated just like that.
The exciting battle that they had bitterly waited for had ended so hastily.
Only two minutes later.
Linfeng, aside from using his Third Grade Lightning Steps, didn't even use his Lightning Explosion.
"How is this possible? Am I dreaming?"
"That's too despicable. That silver dagger can reflect light."
"Which idiot said that it's despicable? According to what you said, those archers and those who are proficient in using hidden weapons are despicable people."
"That's not the same."
"How is it different? Linfeng has just entered Second Grade and refined a First Grade demon spirit. How do you want him to fight?"
Amidst the discussions, Linfeng slowly walked towards Zhang Xingyu. This caused many people's faces to change.
This duel was a life and death duel.
Zhang Xingyu had already lost his fighting strength and was defeated.
And now, Linfeng still went forward. Was he trying to kill him?
Was there a need to?
There wasn't any deep hatred between them.
In Hongyun University, there would be a few life and death duels every year. However, very few people would actually kill each other.
The reason for a life and death duel was to fight without any scruples and avoid trouble.
After all, in an ordinary duel, if the opponent was seriously injured or killed, they would have to take responsibility.
"You've won."
Zhang Xingyu's face was pale. The pain from his chest made his body tremble. Looking at Linfeng slowly walking towards him, although he was a little unwilling and depressed, he wasn't afraid.
He didn't have any intention of killing Linfeng. Naturally, he didn't think that Linfeng would really kill him.
"That's it?" Linfeng stood in front of Zhang Xingyu and asked condescendingly.
If the life and death duel was settled like this, everyone could fight him. What's the point of it?
Zhang Xingyu's face slightly changed. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "I'll give you one hundred million."
One hundred million was the minimum amount that Linfeng had set for the duel.
"I gave you two choices. You chose the life and death duel. I won't kill you, but the life and death duel are different. The bet will be doubled to two hundred million.
“
Zhang Xingyu's face was ugly. His eyes were filled with anger.
At that time, he didn't think that he would lose, which was why he chose the life and death duel. If the bet was one hundred million, the Yunjin Corporation would pay it. After all, he was representing the Yunjin Corporation.
But if it was two hundred million, he might have to take responsibility for the extra one hundred million.
One hundred million was a huge sum, even for him.
"Only one hundred million. If it's not enough, you can kill me."
Zhang Xingyu looked at Linfeng and said word by word.
He didn't believe that Linfeng would dare to kill him.
In front of the teachers and students of Hongyun University, no one dared to kill. After all, no one wanted their classmate to be a cold-blooded killer.
Moreover, this duel had attracted the attention of the whole country.
Killing someone in front of the whole country?
It was normal for martial artists to kill each other. But as a classmate, Linfeng would definitely be boycotted if he killed someone over such a small matter.
"Are you fearless?"
Facing the calm Zhang Xingyu, Linfeng's lips curled into an interesting smile. "You guessed right. I won't kill you. It's too bloody, but I can cripple your Soul Sea."
After that, Linfeng slowly placed the dagger on Zhang Xingyu's lower abdomen. The tip of the dagger was aimed at the Soul Sea. He smiled and said, "Do you dare to take a gamble?"
Take a gamble!
Zhang Xingyu's body trembled, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes. He was clearly frightened. Linfeng's indifferent eyes, although not murderous, revealed a trace of eagerness.
At that moment, Zhang Xingyu wanted to say, "Do it if you dare," but he didn't dare.
If his Soul Sea was destroyed, he would be half-crippled!
"I really don't have the money!" Zhang Xingyu shook his head and said bitterly.
Linfeng smiled slightly. "If you don't have the money, go to Yunjin Corporation. Didn't they send you?
Tell them that if the money isn't in my account in five minutes, your Soul Sea will be pierced by my dagger. They won't dare to refuse. "
Zhang Xingyu's face was bitter. Indeed, if he made this call in front of the whole country, Yunjin Corporation would have to give him the money even if he had to grit his teeth.
However, if they gave him the money, he was afraid that he would no longer be able to get resources from Yunjin Corporation.
However, did he have any other choice at this time?
"You win."
Zhang Xingyu said helplessly. He dialed the number on his phone and didn't even explain in detail. Yunjin Corporation already knew what was going on.
After all, this was a live broadcast.
They were also the audience.
Two minutes later, Linfeng's phone rang. A message indicated that the 200 million had been transferred to his account.
Just as he had expected, even if he was unwilling, he had to give it to the whole country without hesitation.
If he gave it to him, he could still leave a good impression. If he didn't, even if Linfeng didn't dare to do anything, Yunjin Corporation's reputation would be ruined.
After paying, Zhang Xingyu gave Linfeng a deep look. Then, he got up and walked down the ring. He staggered a little and kept his head down.
At that moment, Linfeng looked at the referee. "Next, the deathmatch!"
