Revelation of the Way of Heaven

Perhaps influenced by the discussions below the stage, or perhaps Jin Qiu also felt that it was too much for a freshman like him to participate in the competition, he couldn't help but frown, walked up to Qin Xiaochuan, and asked him, "Are you still okay? Do you want to continue?"

"Fight, of course we'll fight!" he said fiercely, then quickly got up from the ground.

He told himself he had been too careless.

Although his spiritual power level was higher than Su Chen's, he had only just reached level 5. Not only were the types of skills he could use limited, but he also lacked a complete skill system. In reality, his level 5 spiritual power was no stronger than Su Chen's level 4 spiritual power, which had been established much earlier. Yet, he hadn't taken Su Chen seriously at first, which was both arrogant and careless.

Perhaps my recent rapid progress has made me overconfident. I should take this as a warning and be cautious in dealing with any opponent I encounter.

He seriously reflected on himself.

"Oh, is this all you've got, Junior Qin? This is so disappointing. You promised to hold out longer, but you're so weak. I don't even dare to make a move." Su Chen said to him sarcastically.

"Hmph." He snorted coldly at Su Chen and said, "Since you're so eager to get beaten up, then I'll grant your wish."

"Oh, really? I was just warming up. You'll experience even more fun next," Su Chen said, not to be outdone.

"In that case, let's go!" Qin Xiaochuan shouted, leaping forward and running quickly towards Su Chen.

"Huh? What's he doing? Why is he actively approaching Su Chen? Is he a melee fighter?" Another murmur arose around the arena.

Su Chen didn't seem to understand Qin Xiaochuan's actions either, but he didn't care what the other person did, because in his eyes, no matter what Qin Xiaochuan did, it was all in vain.

"Earth wall!" As Qin Xiaochuan was moving at high speed, he heard a loud shout from ahead. Immediately afterward, an earthen wall suddenly rose from the ground around him, trapping him firmly in place.

Just as he was about to smash the earthen wall with a punch, Su Chen's voice came from ahead again, "Raging Wind Blade." Immediately afterwards, a rapid gust of wind came from outside the earthen wall.

"A wind-type B-rank attack skill. It seems this kid is completely finished." A cry of surprise came from outside.

"This time, a D-rank silver shield won't be enough to stop it."

"Won't this cause problems?" someone asked worriedly.

"Something happened? How could such an attack cause me any trouble?" He sneered inwardly, quickly forming several hand seals, and a grayish-brown tortoise-shell-shaped shield appeared in front of him.

Xuanwu Shield.

Boom! The earthen wall was instantly destroyed, and a huge wind blade struck the Xuanwu Shield. Dust filled the sky, and the sounds of onlookers suddenly disappeared. All that remained in his ears was the sound of the wind. However, he had already activated his Heavenly Eye in advance, and this situation actually helped him to quickly approach Su Chen.

One step, two steps, he ran forward quickly, hoping to get as close to Su Chen as possible before the dust settled.

"Ah, there he is!"

Suddenly, a scream came from the crowd. Qin Xiaochuan had finally been spotted, but he was now only two meters away from Su Chen.

"He's completely unharmed!" A surprised exclamation arose from the crowd.

"Fireball!" With a thought, Qin Xiaochuan quickly launched a fireball at Su Chen, but the other party easily dodged it.

As a D-level skill, the fireball spell not only deals little damage but is also easy to dodge, posing almost no threat to a level 4 spiritual power user. However, his fireball spell was not intended to harm Su Chen but to restrain him. The time he spent dodging the fireball spell was enough for him to get close to his opponent.

Time seemed to stand still, and the area around the arena fell completely silent as everyone watched him and Su Chen with bated breath.

Then everyone watched as he slowly approached Su Chen, and then punched him in the face.

boom!

After a loud crash of flesh against flesh, the arena fell silent once more.

Qin Xiaochuan stared in disbelief at Su Chen, who had actually blocked his fist with his own.

How is that possible?

You have to understand that after such a long period of physical training, his physical strength has greatly improved. Ordinary people would not be able to withstand his strength at all, but Su Chen actually blocked his attack with his fist. How is that possible?

Qin Xiaochuan was somewhat puzzled.

He used his Heavenly Eye to look into Su Chen's body and found that the spiritual power that was originally located at the Baihui acupoint had spread throughout the body. He quickly guessed that the other party's power came from this spiritual power.

"You're really stupid, trying to attack me in close combat." Su Chen looked at him with a cold smile. "But your strength is really weak."

"Is that so? Then let's see how long you can hold out." Qin Xiaochuan said as he continued to attack him at close range.

However, each of his attacks was easily blocked by his opponent. Moreover, while blocking, Su Chen continuously released some D-level skills to attack him, trying to use these D-level skills to widen the distance between the two.

"Wind Slash!" Su Chen shouted coldly, and with a wave of his hand, a rapid stream of air slashed towards him.

"Silver Shield." Qin Xiaochuan helplessly raised his silver shield to block the opponent's skill.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Su Chen quickly leaped back a few steps, while simultaneously making a series of hand gestures. "Ground Thrust!" As soon as he finished speaking, several earthen spikes emerged from the ground beneath Qin Xiaochuan's feet, piercing towards him.

Seeing this, Qin Xiaochuan quickly dodged left and right, narrowly avoiding each of the earthen cones. However, at this moment, he found himself stuck by the earthen cones and unable to move for a while.

"I don't believe you can dodge my attack this time," Su Chen said hatefully, then made a few more hand seals.

It's Stormblade again.

In Su Chen's eyes, Qin Xiaochuan's ability to dodge his skill was purely by luck.

Since he couldn't defeat his opponent in close combat, he had no choice but to use skills. Qin Xiaochuan thought to himself that the current situation presented him with an opportunity.

The Storm Blade drew ever closer to him. Unlike last time, the surrounding onlookers became unusually quiet. Perhaps they themselves didn't even realize that they had been drawn into the battle between the two, or perhaps they also wanted to know how Qin Xiaochuan had dodged the Storm Blade last time.

The wind howled again in Qin Xiaochuan's ears, and at the same time, the gray-brown tortoise-shaped shield reappeared in front of him.

"Black Tortoise Shield! It's actually a B-rank defensive skill, Black Tortoise Shield! How is this possible? He's already reached level 4 in spiritual power! Isn't he a freshman this year?"

The surrounding area erupted in cheers once again. Not only were the audience members speechless with shock, but even the other contestants in the preparation seats and the judges on the viewing platform were getting restless. Some of the more impatient ones even stood up.

"Are you all surprised by this?" Qin Xiaochuan sneered inwardly. This was just the beginning.

Just as the Storm Blade collided with the Xuanwu Shield, a pair of giant black hands suddenly emerged from beneath Su Chen's feet. When Qin Xiaochuan leaped across the aftershocks of the Storm Blade and arrived in front of Su Chen, the latter still wore a shocked expression.

"Embrace of the Earth, it's actually a B-rank control skill, Embrace of the Earth. It seems he really has reached level 4 in spiritual power."

Upon seeing Qin Xiaochuan's fist, Su Chen initially wanted to throw another punch to block the attack, but at this moment, Earth's Embrace had completely controlled him, and he couldn't move at all.

Bang! It was like a huge drumbeat striking everyone's hearts, making them widen their eyes in surprise. This time, Qin Xiaochuan's fist landed squarely on Su Chen's face.

Su Chen wasn't knocked into the air because Earth's Embrace had already gripped his feet tightly, and he could only fall straight backward.

Bang! Another huge drumbeat. Without hesitation, Qin Xiaochuan jumped over and straddled Su Chen's back. He then threw a second punch at Su Chen's face. Just as he was about to throw a third punch, Jin Qiu rushed in front of him and blocked his fist.

Qin Xiaochuan took a deep breath, glanced at Su Chen who looked incredulous, and slowly stood up from the other person.

The surroundings were deathly silent; everyone seemed frozen, staring blankly at him.

Qin Xiaochuan slowly turned his head to look at Xia Ruoyi in the crowd, and she was also looking at him with a complicated expression. She was biting her lip tightly, and her lips were so red that they were almost bleeding.

The two of them stared at each other in the crowd, a deep, unwavering gaze, like strangers from two different worlds.
