As a martial artist with the Spear Technique at the fourth level peak, Li Yuan’s grasp of the battlefield situation was exquisitely precise.
This spear thrust, full of fury, came just when the second-rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior and Xu Bo were exhausted after intense combat.
Hu!
Xu Bo seemed to have sensed it coming, his body shifted, blocking the second-rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior’s line of sight for a moment, and then he drifted horizontally past.
Li Yuan’s spear tip narrowly missed Xu Bo’s body, thrusting straight at him, looking perilously close.
Fierce! Wild!
“Hm?” The second-rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior’s face changed drastically as he swept a saber to repel Xu Bo and hacked down angrily, attempting to block Li Yuan’s thrust.
In the end, as a second-rank powerhouse, his strength and speed were far superior to Li Yuan, his pure reaction speed was unbelievably fast.
“Boom!”
Saber light grazed the spear shaft, colliding in a rush, the terrifying force momentarily deflecting Li Yuan’s long spear, slicing past the second-rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior’s arm, instantly leaving a visible laceration.
“Such resilient skin,” Li Yuan immediately sensed the toughness of his opponent’s body.
Definitely more sturdy than steel.
Similar damage had been inflicted on the second-rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior by Xu Bo many times, only Li Yuan’s blow was the more severe.
“Ahh~” The second-rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior roared, his combat saber swooping down furiously.
Hu!
Li Yuan slipped away, ghost-like, evading the terrifying blow, and, seizing the opportunity, he charged past the second-rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior with his long spear whistling around in return.
He thrust back furiously.
Turnabout Spear!!
Too fast, Li Yuan’s thrust far exceeded the second-rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior’s expectations, it couldn’t dodge in time.
“Puchi~”
The spear tip stabbed into its body like lightning, piercing nearly ten centimeters deep before it was stopped by the tough, terrifying muscles, exhausting all the spear’s momentum.
At the same time, the terrifying impact contained within the spear also made the second-rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior stagger.
“Scram!” The second-rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior bellowed.
Spitting out a language Li Yuan couldn’t understand.
In the next instant, the second-rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior, having sustained heavy damage, spun around and swung its saber at Li Yuan.
Hu! Li Yuan had just mustered the strength to pull his long spear out from the opponent’s muscular body when he saw the furious swing coming. In his urgency, he had no choice but to use his spear to block.
In terms of Spear Technique, the second-rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior was far inferior to Li Yuan, the gap was enormous.
But the most sophisticated techniques ultimately have a limit to enhancement, all needing strength and speed as the foundation for battle.
Without a doubt, the second-rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior’s strength and speed were enough to bridge this gap, allowing it to completely suppress Li Yuan.
“Bang~”
The giant saber landed on Li Yuan’s spear shaft, the terrifying force causing the spear to bend instantly, followed by the shaft striking Li Yuan’s chest directly.
Hu!
Li Yuan was sent flying out like a shooting star, crashing into the distant woods, the terrifying force passing through his Origin Power Battle Suit, impacting his entire body, his blood and qi uncontrollably churning.
“Boom.”
The second-rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior moved swiftly, locking down the injuries on its muscles, ready to pounce at Li Yuan, intending to finish him off completely.
It realized that this newcomer human martial artist, though proficient with the Spear Technique, was much weaker in strength and speed.
And certainly, much weaker in vitality.
“Shoo!”
“Shoo!” A barrage of spear shadows already came whistling over, forcing the Second Rank Fish Spirit Clan warriors to halt their advance.
It was Xu Bo, who had been attacking continuously, yet his grasp of timing was far behind Li Yuan’s due to the limitations of his skills.
“Li Yuan! It’s Li Yuan!” Xu Bo’s heart was filled with unparalleled anxiety at this moment, “How is he doing?”
In the brief exchange just now, he recognized that the powerful human martial artist who came to the rescue was his most accomplished student over the years, ‘Li Yuan’.
And the furious strike from the Second Rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior had him particularly worried.
A wrathful blow from a Second Rank powerhouse was enough to directly shake a martial artist below level 18 to death.
But.
Xu Bo had no time to inquire into Li Yuan’s wounds, he could only fight with all his might against the Second Rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior, to buy Li Yuan time to recover.
Suddenly.
“Boom!” Like a furious gust sweeping past, the surrounding air burst noisily.
Whoosh!
A black figure dashed out from the darkness like lightning, a streak of light piercing the dark night sky, aiming straight for the head of the Second Rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior.
It was Li Yuan’s spear!
“Bang~” The Second Rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior seemed to have anticipated it, spinning around with a furious chop, and with a massive thundering bang, Li Yuan’s long spear clashed in an instant.
The terrifying power tore through the sports field, splitting the ground, and sending numerous fragments of stone flying.
But.
The stones had no impact on the three individuals engaged in battle.
“Roar~” The Second Rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior stared at Li Yuan in shock and anger, finding it inconceivable. Didn’t its enraged slash have any effect on this frail human martial artist?
“Li Yuan?” Xu Bo was also surprised and delighted, “What just happened?”
Xu Bo was equally astonished in his heart.
“Teacher, I’m fine, not going to die,” Li Yuan responded, with a faint trace of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.
In reality, with the subtlety of his soul, Li Yuan had scrutinized every part of his body—nerves, bones, flesh—and had already sustained minor injuries from the direct clash just now, especially in the directly hit chest area where numerous capillaries had burst and the muscles were slightly torn.
Luckily!
His Origin Power Battle Suit, infused with Origin Power, significantly increased Li Yuan’s defense, allowing him to barely withstand the attack.
Further, with his exquisite skill, Li Yuan managed to adjust his posture midair as he was sent flying, landing in such a manner as to unload the force, thereby minimizing the damage.
Otherwise, with that one hit, Li Yuan would have been severely injured or even dead.
“Kill.”
“Kill!” Li Yuan and Xu Bo moved together. After the exchange just now and observing each other’s strength, they instinctively made their move in perfect understanding.
Whoosh!
Xu Bo attacked head-on, his long spear jabbing furiously, fast as lightning.
“Roar~” The Second Rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior roared and swung its dual swords furiously in a chopping motion.
At the same time.
Li Yuan shifted positions and charged from the other side, his long spear transforming into countless spear shadows.
The Stellar Spear Technique’s ‘Galaxy Waterfall’!
One thrust followed by another, continuous and relentless, the spear momentum formidable.
“This spear technique.” The Second Rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior gritted its teeth, forced to divide its attention to fend off Li Yuan’s attacks while trying to repeat its previous move and send Li Yuan flying once again.
“`
However.
After the first round of engagement, Li Yuan knew he couldn’t withstand a direct attack from a Second Rank warrior, so his long spear would retract immediately upon contact with that ferocious combat saber.
He wouldn’t directly engage at all.
“My role is to assist, to tie down a part of the Second Rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior’s attention, giving Teacher an opportunity,” thought Li Yuan, remarkably calm in his heart, but with a battle spirit soaring to the skies.
“Kill!”
“Kill! Kill! We must kill it before my Origin Power is completely drained,” he thought desperately.
“Otherwise, if I die, Li Yuan alone will definitely not be able to hold it off,” Xu Bo was equally frantic, a terrifying battle spirit burning in his eyes, “This battle is probably my last one in this life.”
“We must kill it! We must!” Xu Bo had fallen into an extremely special state.
If previously he was just trying to buy time, Li Yuan’s arrival truly gave him hope of killing the Second Rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior.
Moreover.
The sight of Li Yuan being sent flying by a slash had also terrified him, followed by complete madness.
At this moment.
Both Xu Bo and Li Yuan were attacking with all their might, the shadow of their spears whistling as they struck from two directions.
The pressure on the Second Rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior skyrocketed like never before, its head, eyes, neck, chest, groin, and legs were all under attack.
At this instant, the large size of the Second Rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior had become a disadvantage.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! The collision of the three fighters’ weapons sent shockwaves shooting in all directions, intensifying the battle to its peak.
…
“Too strong?”
“Are both Li Yuan and Xu Bo this strong?” Instructor Xing, watching from a distance, was dumbstruck, “I heard from the Hall Master before that Xu Bo at his peak wasn’t much weaker than him, but I didn’t expect it to be true. After being injured for so many years, he could still be so powerful?”
“And Li Yuan, to be able to get involved in a battle of this level? He could probably defeat me in just a few exchanges,” Instructor Xing thought, deeply shocked.
…”Captain.”
“Li Yuan?” Fang Longhu and the others were also immensely shocked; they knew Li Yuan was strong, but they didn’t expect him to be formidable to this extent.
To be able to get involved in a Prime Warrior-level battle?
How old was he?
18 years old!
“A genius,” Fang Longhu felt the most shocked, “A year ago, I could suppress him with just 10% of my strength.”
“Now? He could defeat me in one move.”
…On the school sports field, three figures were fighting fiercely, reaching a fever pitch.
“AOAOAO!!” The Second Rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior roared, as within an extremely short amount of time, more than a dozen new wounds had been added to its body.
While each wound wasn’t significant on its own.
The accumulation of these wounds, along with the previous injuries, had already caused it a tremendous amount of damage.
The most impactful was the stab from Li Yuan earlier into its waist, greatly affecting the warrior’s ability to exert force with its sword technique.
The waist is the critical hub for the flow of vigor in the limbs.
The Second Rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior realized that it had no chance of winning against these two human martial artists teaming up.
And, since it had revealed itself and started fighting, more than two minutes had passed.
So much time had gone by.
“Other human Prime Warriors must be arriving soon,” thought the Second Rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior.
“`
It did not want to fight to the death.
Under the command of the matriarch, after entering the human world, once they were able to break through from First to Second Rank, they were to avoid fighting to the death as much as possible, in order to play a bigger role.
“Roar~”
The Second Rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior roared, his combat saber furiously cleaving down, instantly forcing Li Yuan to retreat.
Boom!
It then burst forth in a sprint, rushing toward the direction of Nan Ye Lake.
The lake would be its home ground, and once it entered the waters, shaking off the pursuit of the human martial artists would be much easier.
“It’s trying to escape.”
“Li Yuan, keep it here, we absolutely cannot let it escape, this is a major disaster.” Xu Bo shouted angrily and also dashed out like lightning, charging at the Second Rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior.
Boom!
At this moment, Xu Bo could no longer hold back, activating the circulation of his Star Meridian as if burning his life potential, significantly boosting his speed.
With continuous stabs, Xu Bo and the Second Rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior embarked on an extremely terrifying head-on confrontation, not giving an inch, directly blocking its path.
“Whoosh!”
“Whoosh!” “Whoosh!” Li Yuan also remained incredibly calm, catching up like lightning, vigorously attacking the Second Rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior.
Straight thrust! Furious cleave! Throwing stab! Li Yuan brought his mastery of Spear Technique to the peak.
He manifested a sky filled with spear shadows.
“Clang! Clang clang clang!” The most critical outburst came from Xu Bo, whose spear was so fast at that moment that the Second Rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior became somewhat dazed by the hits.
It was now completely at a disadvantage.
“This isn’t right.”
“This one using Fire Origin Power, he is a true Prime Warrior!! But why didn’t he burst forth earlier? If he had done so earlier, I would probably have been killed by now.” The Second Rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior could hardly believe it.
It really wanted to flee, but faced with the extremely ferocious Xu Bo and Li Yuan, who was assisting attacked on the side.
It simply couldn’t break free.
“Bang~”
After another lightning-fast exchange, Xu Bo suddenly closed the distance, raising his long spear high and furiously slashing down, forcing the Second Rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior to meet the attack with dual sabers. Then, under the impact of terrifying power, its massive body had to stagger backward.
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!” Li Yuan’s long spear whistled through the air, his Spear Technique continuous like a rolling galaxy, growing more and more terrifying in power and leaving more wounds on its body.
Many of those wounds were shocking, making its injuries even more severe.
“Heavier!”
“Faster! More fierce!” Li Yuan’s eyes were fixed on the Second Rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior, exerting his utmost to perform the Stellar Spear Technique.
This life-and-death battle made him vaguely gain more insight into the Spear Technique.
Time and time again, they clashed.
The Second Rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior kept retreating, it had completely panicked, feeling death drawing closer.
Suddenly.
“Puchi~” Xu Bo’s long spear thrust out like lightning, piercing through the gap between the dual combat sabers, sinking deeply into its chest, penetrating the muscle as copious amounts of blood splattered everywhere.
“Whoosh!”
Another pale yellow spear light flashed by, slashing across the neck of the Second Rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior, causing a gush of blood to surge forth.
Thump!
The Second Rank Fish Spirit Clan warrior stumbled backward, feeling its vitality rapidly fading, its life swiftly drawing to an end.
