Top disciples like Yan Yaoyang and Nie Shanshan also wore grave expressions. They mused that if they were in Chen Qing’s position, facing this dual Great Success Spear Technique that could shift between hard and soft, heavy and sharp, in an instant, the pressure would be immense.

Seeing this, masters like Chu Jinyun and Tan Yang revised their opinion of Li Lei upward once again.

Mastering two Spear Techniques to the Great Success level proved his exceptional talent for the Spear Path.

Given time, he stood a good chance of cultivating them to Perfection, perhaps even reaching the Extreme Realm and comprehending Momentum.

An overwhelming storm of Meteor Spear Shadows instantly enveloped Chen Qing!

Each spear shadow possessed terrifying Penetration Power, enough to pierce Gold Stone. Their angles were Cunning, Ruthless, and Fierce, sealing off all of Chen Qing’s escape routes!

Li Lei’s presence swelled to its absolute peak. The oppressive weight of the dual Great Success Spear Technique seemed to make the very air above the arena freeze.

The hearts of the Cyan Wood Institute disciples leaped into their throats.

Just at this critical moment!

Yet Chen Qing, locked down by countless sharp spear shadows, had exceptionally calm eyes.

HUMMM—!

The Cloud-Coiling Spear let out a low, eager dragon’s cry! The cyan-black spear shaft seemed to come alive.

Facing the points of cold starlight that tore across the sky, Chen Qing took a step forward, advancing instead of retreating. The Cloud-Coiling Spear in his hand traced a flawless, circular arc. Its tip, deceptively fast despite its slow appearance, gently guided and led the incoming attack.

Moving Mountains and Unloading Seas!

A strange gravitational force manifested from thin air, as if carving an invisible riverbed through the violent meteor shower.

Li Lei’s Spear Force, powerful enough to pierce gold and shatter stone, was forcefully diverted from its original trajectory by this seemingly casual maneuver.

The instant he neutralized the danger, Chen Qing’s waist twisted violently. His spine rippled like a great dragon as True Qi flowed smoothly through his entire body, gathering in his arms before pouring into the spear.

The Cloud-Coiling Spear shifted from the pinnacle of softness to the apex of hardness!

The spear transformed into a cyan bolt of lightning that tore through the void. With an unparalleled momentum that could pierce a rainbow, it thrust forward boldly!

Mountain-Breaking Rainbow Piercing!

This thrust was fast! Accurate! Vicious! Its Penetration Power was so concentrated to the extreme that it even distorted the air before the spear’s tip!

The ferocity of its momentum and the purity of its intent far surpassed Li Lei’s own execution of the very same move!

Li Lei’s pupils contracted violently; he sensed a mortal threat!

In his haste, he abandoned his offense. His Iron Spear instinctively whirled back to parry as he unleashed Immovable Prison Suppression with all his strength.

CLANG—!!!

A metallic crash, a hundred times more piercing than any previous collision, echoed to the heavens!

Sparks exploded like fireworks!

Li Lei felt an indescribable, colossal force slam into the shaft of his spear. The power was not merely immense; it felt as if it would run him through, spear and all. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

His arms screamed in agony, feeling as if they would be torn apart. The webbing between his thumbs split open instantly, staining the spear shaft red with blood. His robust Earth True Qi was brutally blasted away.

As if struck by a charging behemoth, he staggered back seven or eight steps—STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP—each step leaving a deep imprint in the arena floor as stone fragments flew.

His face turned deathly pale in an instant, and the qi and blood within him churned as if boiling.

However, Chen Qing’s assault hadn’t ended.

He seemed to have become one with his spear—the man followed the spear, and the spear borrowed the man’s Momentum!

The instant the Cloud-Coiling Spear forced Li Lei back, its Spear Momentum shifted from a thrust to a horizontal sweep!

Breaking Mountains and Dividing Territory!

The cyan-black spear shadow swept out. It lacked the wild dominance of Li Lei’s execution, but possessed an effortless grace, a fluid mastery that suggested absolute control!

Wherever the spear shadow passed, the air was sliced open without a sound, leaving a clear vacuum in its wake.

It seemed as though a thousand mountains and ravines would be ground to dust before this single strike!

Li Lei had just regained his footing, his Power not yet restored. A flicker of horror crossed his eyes as he faced this unavoidable strike.

He could only force his Iron Spear upright to his side and meet the blow head-on once more!

BANG—!!!

Another colossal boom, like muffled thunder!

As if struck by a sledgehammer, Li Lei’s Protective True Qi shattered on impact.

He was sent flying like a kite with a snapped string, spitting an arc of blood as he flew. He crashed heavily onto the edge of the arena and, after struggling for a moment, found himself unable to rise!

Chen Qing let his True Qi settle into his Dantian. He cupped his fist toward Li Lei and said, "Brother Li, thank you for the match."

The entire arena was deathly silent!

You could hear a pin drop!

Everyone stared, dumbfounded, at the figure standing on the arena with his spear.

’Li Lei, who had the upper hand just moments ago, was defeated in the blink of an eye!?’

’Mountain Prison-Suppression Spear! The Realm of Perfection!’

A single thought exploded like a Thunder Shock in everyone’s minds!
