Chapter 421: Chapter 405: Fighting Wang Hailong

”PFFT—”

All Kong Ruoxuan saw was a streak of black lightning lancing out. The spear tip, radiating a chilling sharpness, pierced through her chest with a style she found all too familiar.

A spray of blood erupted before her eyes.

’So fast!’

’That spear strike was too fast!’

”BANG!”

Her body was sent flying like a skewered candied haw, slamming heavily onto the ground. She tumbled several times, collecting a thick layer of dust before dissipating into nothingness.

[Match 10: Lin Qi (Sophomore) Wins!]

Above the arena, an automated voice emotionlessly announced the final result.

Lin Qi and Kong Ruoxuan were instantly transported back to the spectator stands.

Kong Ruoxuan was in a daze, still unable to process her ”death” from a moment ago.

She stared at Lin Qi, who wasn’t far away, her heart filled with shock.

’What happened to him ”offering guidance”?’

She hadn’t learned a single thing; all she’d felt was Lin Qi’s unparalleled power.

With his terrifying strength, he had defeated her with the ease of snapping a dry twig.

’How could the gap between us be this huge?’

She wasn’t the only one dumbfounded; everyone from Nether Sea Martial Academy was as well.

During the Global Freshmen Tournament, Lin Qi had to put in some effort to defeat SS-level opponents.

But now he could instantly kill an SS-level genius?

Yu Zhuoran and Wan Ming were also stunned.

Wan Ming couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise, ”Holy crap, the fight’s over already?”

Yu Zhuoran smiled. ”The fight ended in two moves!”

The fiery Chu Yu also looked at Lin Qi and laughed.

”Your strength is even greater than we imagined!”

Only Lin Qi remained calm, saying,

”Just standard procedure.”

...

Meanwhile, in another section of the spectator stands, twenty to thirty middle-aged men and women sat together, each exuding a powerful aura.

After watching the battle, Vice Dean Xu Wenji stroked his beard and said with a chuckle,

”Lin Qi has gotten stronger again!”

”In just a few months, his mastery over his Special Ability, [Jin Feng], has reached a state of perfection.”

”The SS-level geniuses in his year are no longer a match for him.”

”Perhaps he’s already starting to catch up to the SSS-level geniuses.”

Dean Liu, who was sitting beside him, nodded. He wasn’t surprised by Lin Qi’s performance.

After all, they viewed Lin Qi as someone who raised the ceiling for all SS-level geniuses.

However, he was still a step behind the SSS-level geniuses.

Unless Lin Qi’s strength experienced an explosive leap, advancing to become an SSS-level genius would be incredibly difficult.

...

The competition continued, but Lin Qi chose to log off. He went to the swimming pool to practice his Spear Technique.

His Spear Technique had hit a bottleneck. He was just one step away from comprehending a Killing Technique, which would allow him to break through.

Once he mastered his first Killing Technique, his combat power would increase tremendously.

...

The first round of the Celestial Vault Competition, consisting of 90 matches, took a full day to conclude.

As cultivators’ Realms and stamina increased, their physical conditioning improved, and their Special Abilities offered powerful protection, some battles naturally lasted for a long time.

Situations like Wang Hailong’s and Lin Qi’s, where they practically insta-killed their opponents, were rare.

”Contestants!”

At the Celestial Vault Competition venue, Vice Dean Xu Wenji’s projection appeared once again.

”After a full day of fierce battles, the first round has officially concluded. Congratulations to the contestants who have advanced to the second round.”

”You will be awarded 500 kilograms of Level 7 Disaster Beast Flesh and Blood.”

”Furthermore, the 46 contestants who advance to the third round will directly receive 1,000 kilograms of Level 7 Disaster Beast Flesh and Blood!”

As soon as he said this, those who hadn’t advanced looked on with envy.

This was especially true for Kong Ruoxuan. She wore a bitter expression; if only she hadn’t been matched against Lin Qi.

With her strength, she might have had a chance to make it to the third round.

But in the end, Lin Qi had shattered her third-round dream with a single spear strike.

Lin Qi glanced around. His sophomore class had the most students out of the four years, as well as the highest number of SS-level and SSS-level geniuses.

After just one round, a full two-thirds of them had been eliminated.

It couldn’t be helped. There were too many S-class geniuses who were simply no match for the juniors and seniors.

Among them, Chu Yu and Du Shanyan had both easily defeated their opponents to advance to the second round.

”Next, the second round of the Celestial Vault Competition will officially begin.”

Xu Wenji waved his hand, and a brilliant river of stars materialized before everyone’s eyes.

He reached in and scooped out a brilliant star, which transformed into a name.

[Bye: Meng Yuxuan (Junior)!]

Hearing the automated announcement, many people’s gazes simultaneously shifted to a girl with a black ponytail in the junior section of the stands.

She was tall and slender, with healthy, wheat-colored skin and the air of a panther.

Her features were striking and glamorous, and she had sensual red lips.

She was the SSS-level genius from the junior class, Nether Sea Martial Academy’s very own—Meng Yuxuan.

Lin Qi saw in her the same kind of aura as Teacher Jiangtao and Liu Ran.

However, Meng Yuxuan’s future goal was the Nine Realm Title Level, so she had more potential than Liu Ran.

Seeing she had received a bye, Meng Yuxuan crossed her arms, accentuating her fine figure.

’A bye is fine by me!’

As an SSS-level genius and the fourth-ranked person in the Disaster Beast Trial Tower, she only wanted to fight the top three.

’No one else is even worth mentioning.’

...

At the same time, countless giant hands reached into the river of stars, scooping out 90 stars and arranging them into the match-up chart for the second round: a total of 45 matches.

Lin Qi was stunned again when he saw his opponent.

[Match 2: Lin Qi (Sophomore) VS Wang Hailong (Freshman)]

...

He had a strange expression on his face. He’d actually been matched against Wang Hailong in just the second round.

’This SSS-level genius’s luck is just as bad as Kong Ruoxuan’s!’

Meanwhile, Wan Ming, who had just finished reading the match-up chart, couldn’t help but blurt out,
