My slightest action was the system's limit.

Chapter 168 Approaching Second Breakthrough? Annihilation!
"Damn it!"

"This guy," the short-haired man said, his face ashen, "is he using us to hone his skills?"

How could he not see Jiang Ye's suppressed outburst?

However, there are differences between different outbreaks.

The difference between circulating star energy and not circulating star energy is significant.

The difference between the burst damage of a normal move and the burst damage of a special move is like night and day.

Previously, Jiang Ye had only unleashed ordinary gun techniques.

It wasn't until Jiang Ye unleashed his ultimate move that the short-haired man realized just how terrifying his opponent was.

"Is this the genius from Penglai University?" The short-haired man had already vaguely guessed Jiang Ye's identity: "If it weren't for Shen Yin, I wouldn't even have the qualifications to come into contact with such a genius."

"But now, I have the opportunity to fight him, and even kill him!"

"That's enough, that's enough."

"For Shenyin's sake!" The short-haired man's eyes suddenly turned vicious: "I won't let you destroy this place, you'd all die!"

Glug! Glug~
The short-haired man's throat twitched.

The next moment, his skin began to shrink at a visible speed, turning pitch black in the blink of an eye, as if it had merged with the darkness.

They have become highly assimilated with the Shadow Clan!
This consequence is irreversible; he will never be able to transform back into human form.

But, it can be exchanged for—

"Boom!" A terrifying surge of life force erupted from the short-haired man's body.

His martial spirit instantly broke through that shackle.

Building upon the foundation of breaking through the peak, we will go even further.

Nearing second breakthrough!!
"Pfft!" Shen Changxi killed a peak-level cultivator with a single sword strike, his skill unparalleled.

Suddenly, she sensed that terrifying fluctuation, and her expression shifted slightly.

"It's Jiang Ye's side."

"Has he encountered an enemy close to the second breakthrough level?" Shen Changxi glanced at him and then looked away.

She moved with light, graceful steps, her killing movements becoming increasingly fierce.

Clean up this area as quickly as possible, then go support Jiang Ye!

"Oh no, Jiang Ye has encountered an enemy who is close to the second breakthrough level?"

Liu Wanxiao's expression also changed: "There are people on the second level who have mastered the second-stage secret technique?"

Previously, they had only made a guess.

But this moment truly proved it.

Someone in this underground fortress possesses a second-stage secret technique that can elevate one's cultivation level by two minor realms!

"Can Jiang Ye handle this?" Liu Wanxiao wondered.

Facing an attack by dozens of people!

Add to that a powerful expert nearing the second breakthrough level; even he might not be able to defeat him.

"Jiang Ye, we're in trouble." Yun Qing'er glanced in Jiang Ye's direction.

next moment.

"Boom boom boom boom!" She unleashed her full power, striking two hundred times per second, instantly smashing a black-clad man at the peak of the first breakthrough stage to pieces.

Like a killing machine, it mercilessly slaughters.

"Die!" The short-haired man roared like a wild beast and slashed at Jiang Ye with his knife.

The terrifying blade light, like a monstrous wave, crashed down.

"Second-stage secret technique?" Jiang Ye's eyes turned cold as he retaliated with his gun.

The opponent's sudden surge in strength put him under immense pressure.

But he wasn't surprised.

Jiang Ye had already witnessed the second-stage secret technique on the first level, which could raise one's cultivation level by two minor realms.

Sure enough, I saw it on the second floor.

"Approaching the second breakthrough?" Jiang Ye's eyes flashed with killing intent. Perfect, he wanted to see how many moves this opponent could withstand!

boom!
Jiang Ye unleashed his full power, holding nothing back. The spear in his hand transformed into a black dragon, unleashing unparalleled intimidation.

Tens of thousands of strands of star energy instantly surged into the spear.

The second ultimate move of the Great Sun Spear Technique – The Blazing Sun Across the Sky!
"Die!" Jiang Ye swept his spear horizontally, the light of which burst forth like a dazzling sun.

The blazing sun sweeps across the sky!

Then, it rapidly expanded and exploded.

"Boom!!" Terrifying energy poured out like a torrent, instantly tearing apart all the late-stage first-stage powerhouses around them.

Those peak-level experts who had broken through to the first level were also seriously injured in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, the dozens of people who were still besieging Jiang Ye were quickly killed.

Only the short-haired man remained.

All of this happened so fast that it was almost impossible to react.

“Once the Great Sun Spear Technique reaches 67%, the power of the second ultimate move increases again,” Jiang Ye realized.

The next moment, he gripped his spear tightly and charged towards the short-haired man.

The short-haired man looked at you with a hint of horror in his eyes.

But soon, a ruthless glint flashed in his eyes, and with a burst of fierce energy, he wielded his knife and slashed forward wildly.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!" The two collided like lightning.

Star energy continued to erupt.

"Kill! Kill!" the short-haired man roared repeatedly, "You geniuses all deserve to die, all of you deserve to die!" With each roar, his attacks became increasingly ferocious.

Each attack was close to breaking through the second barrier, engulfing the Jiangye like a storm!
However, Jiang Ye, despite his full-blown outburst, was not suppressed; on the contrary, he subtly gained the upper hand.

He calmly accepted every attack from his opponent.

"Jiang Ye!" On the other side, Shen Changxi, Liu Wanxiao and the others had already dealt with the enemies in their respective areas.

When they arrived at Jiang Ye's direction, they all showed a look of surprise.

"This guy, he can still suppress an enemy who is close to breaking through to the second level?" Liu Wanxiao was very surprised.

It is extremely difficult for someone at the peak of the first breakthrough to suppress a powerhouse who is close to the second breakthrough.

Any slight flaw will lead to swift and crushing defeat.

This is enough to show that Jiang Ye has a very deep foundation in martial arts, and he does not reveal the slightest weakness when facing stronger opponents.

“We don’t need to intervene.” Shen Changxi stopped.

She could tell that the short-haired man was starting to show signs of weakness.

Jiang Ye will definitely win.

If she intervenes at this time, it would be stealing credit, which would make Jiang Ye resentful.

"Qiang! Qiang!"

"Boom!" The battle between Jiang Ye and the short-haired man had entered a white-hot stage.

Shen Changxi and the others looked relaxed.

But in reality, it was a life-or-death battle for both sides!

If Jiang Ye reveals even the slightest flaw, his opponent will seize the opportunity and eliminate him in an instant.

This life-or-death crisis unleashed unprecedented potential in Jiang Ye.

"Kill! Kill!" Jiang Ye shouted, unleashing a barrage of attacks with his spear. In just one minute, he had exchanged hundreds of blows with his opponent.

suddenly.

Jiang Ye's eyes suddenly lit up.

"An opening." Jiang Ye's spear moved like a dragon, deflecting the short-haired man's long sword with a single thrust.

boom!
The next moment, a faint red spear light burst forth, instantly breaking through the short-haired man's defenses and piercing his chest.

"Pfft!" The spear flashed!

Half of the short-haired man's body suddenly exploded, and terrifying stellar energy raged, shattering his internal organs with a flick of his finger.

"Pfft~" Jiang Ye pulled his spear out forcefully, bringing with it a spray of dark blood.

The short-haired man stood frozen in place.

The light in his eyes gradually faded: "Is this what genius is?"

The short-haired man, after joining the Hidden God Organization, became the squad leader on the second floor of this underground stronghold due to his perfect fit for the Hidden God Secret Technique.

In a short period of time, he gained power close to that of the second breakthrough.

Even so, he still perished at the hands of the genius from Penglai University.

The short-haired man's eyes were filled with resentment as his mediocre yet sinful life flashed through his mind before he collapsed to the ground.

"A genius?" Jiang Ye muttered, "Barely."

He might barely qualify now to be called a 'martial arts genius'.

【Great Sun Spear Technique: Minor Success (67%) → (70%)】

"Great Sun Spear Technique, Thirty-first Form." Jiang Ye looked at the panel: "Success?"

The life-or-death struggle he had just fought had once again dramatically improved his marksmanship.

We're one step closer to the third ultimate move.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ye couldn't help but swing his spear.

"Whoosh~whoosh!" The spear moved like a dragon, roaming freely, accompanied by a dazzling burst of star energy, thrusting back and forth.

"Boom! Boom!"

Each shot left a deafening buzzing sound in the air.

In the blink of an eye, he had already fired more than ten shots, the force of which was becoming increasingly terrifying.

Accompanied by ever-increasing energy fluctuations.

"Boom!"

When Jiang Ye thrust out the final shot, the energy surged to its peak, producing a rapid sonic boom.

"Buzz!" A pale red sun appeared, spinning rapidly.

In an instant, hundreds of scorching rays of light burst forth, scattering in all directions.

The Thirty-First Form of the Great Sun Spear Technique – Splashing Light!
"Phew~" Jiang Ye slowly finished his practice, his eyes shining brightly: "It really worked."

at the same time.

The others who witnessed this scene were all stunned.

"Jiang Ye, your Great Sun Spear Technique has already entered the third stage?" Liu Wanxiao couldn't help but exclaim in shock, "So fast?"

Yun Qing'er couldn't help but look at Jiang Ye repeatedly, her expression strange.

The Great Sun Spear Technique is divided into five stages.

White, light purple, light red, orange-red, and reddish gold.

The move Jiang Ye just used was clearly a pale red sun. Although the color was very pale, it was indeed the third stage!
"You broke through during the battle?" Shen Changxi looked at Jiang Ye, her beautiful eyes full of surprise.

"A lucky breakthrough." Jiang Ye put away his gun and smiled slightly at the group.
