Eternal Life: I Have the Favor System-Chapter 140 - 125: Rout (3)
Chu Lingguang finally understood why Yan Chengdu had been hiding at the back from the very start.
It seemed Yan Zhen had told him about the academy’s rules, which was why he was on guard from the beginning. When the group rushed forward, Yan Chengdu unsheathed his Willow Leaf Saber. He unleashed the Yan Family’s Ultimate Killing Saber Technique, slashing at one of the men in black.
"BAM!"
All the men in black were bare-fisted, and they moved through the crowd completely unopposed.
Examinees were sent flying one after another.
"AHH!"
Although Lin Longde and Chu Lingguang were hiding at the back, they were soon targeted by one of the men in black.
Indeed.
After knocking two other examinees into the lake, one of the men in black charged toward them. His Fist Technique, Tiger Roar in the Forest, trapped both Chu Lingguang and Lin Longde.
Because they were hiding at the back,
they had ample time to assemble their Long Spears.
Lin Longde thrust his weapon forward, blanketing the man with his Life-taking Linked Spear technique.
"CLANG!"
"BAM!"
"THUD!"
A series of sounds rang out. The man in black hammered at the Long Spear with both fists, instantly shattering Lin Longde’s defense. A single punch landed on Lin Longde’s abdomen, sending him flying off the island. He crashed into the lake behind him, joining the other floundering examinees.
WHOOSH!
Chu Lingguang’s expression hardened.
’The opponent’s Fist Technique was simple, but its power was astonishing. Every punch harnessed the Potential Energy of his surroundings.’
Without a moment’s hesitation, he struck with his spear.
As his Long Spear danced, he drew upon the Potential Energy of the gentle breeze, infusing his otherwise unremarkable Spear Technique with uncommon power. He had now found the point of Human-Spear Resonance, allowing him to achieve the Unity of Man and Spear.
As his Spear Technique flowed,
the Potential Energy felt like his own Qi Power, ready to be unleashed at his command.
"CLANG!"
Chu Lingguang’s Long Spear swept across, striking the man’s arm.
A powerful rebounding force surged from the man’s arm. It sent Chu Lingguang stumbling backward, right to the edge of the lake. Just as he was about to fall, he used the Power of Penetration from his Heaven and Earth Art to dissipate the momentum.
"WHOOSH!"
His Spear Technique shifted. A power like a gale sweeping across the ground erupted from his Long Spear, rushing toward the man in black like a hurricane.
The man in black looked astonished.
’When his arm had collided with Chu Lingguang’s Long Spear, he’d sensed that the boy had found the point of Human-Spear Resonance. Examinees like him had appeared in years past.’
’But it was rare to see one who, like Chu Lingguang, could wield this power so flexibly.’
’What’s more, he had actually managed to absorb the force of the blow, stay out of the lake, and even launch a counterattack. Among this batch of examinees, Chu Lingguang’s strength might not be the absolute best, but it was certainly in the upper ranks.’
"SPLASH!"
Yan Chengdu had fallen into the lake, Willow Leaf Saber in hand. As he broke the surface, he happened to see Chu Lingguang fighting the man in black.
’It was the same Basic Thirteen Spear Techniques, but now, every single move held extraordinary power. In his continuous exchange with the man in black, even though Chu Lingguang was struggling just to parry, he always managed to hold that final line by the shore, keeping himself from falling into the water.’
"Impressive, kid!"
The man in black exclaimed in admiration.
The power behind his fists suddenly exploded.
Chu Lingguang saw the shadow of his opponent’s fist vanish from his Spear Technique’s range of defense. Even his enhanced Tiger’s Eye vision couldn’t track it.
By the time he saw the fist’s shadow clearly again, it had already broken through his Spear Technique’s defense and was right in front of his chest.
In that instant, he lowered his Long Spear, 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
using the shaft of the spear to block the blow.
"BAM!"
The Fist Force of the punch penetrated the spear shaft, striking him like a fierce tiger descending a mountain—unstoppable. Chu Lingguang tried to use his Heaven and Earth Art to dissipate the force and steady himself, but he flew uncontrollably from the island. As Yan Chengdu watched, he soared over his head and plunged into the lake.
Yan Chengdu saw ripples of Qi Power, visible to the naked eye, emanating from the man’s fist. His face went slack with shock. ’Chu Lingguang actually forced him to use that much power?’
