Gao Wu: If this BOSS isn't nerfed, is it even playable?

Chapter 124 Instant Kill
"Are both players ready?"

The referee on the sidelines looked at the two men in the ring and asked them a question, albeit symbolically.

The crimson flames rising from Lei Xuewangshu's fists made his red hair appear as if it were burning fire.

"You're the first person to force me to use the Burning Fist."

Lin Ye couldn't tell whether his words were praise or insult.

In previous combat tests, even when Xue Wangshu was surrounded and overwhelmed by five puppets, he did not use this trump card.

The reason is that although the Burning Fist is extremely powerful and can double combat power, the price is that it burns one's own life essence.

Of all the members of the Xue family who have awakened this spirituality, very few have died peacefully in their old age.

This is a desperate tactic, and he certainly wouldn't use it in the actual test of the abnormal simulation exam.

But it's different now.

Someone has taken away his glory and first place.

He can't accept it!
In Xue Wangshu's eyes, fighting spirit and killing intent intertwined and surged.

"But that's all there is to it."

"A test is just a test. In a real life-or-death struggle, I hope you won't... reveal your true colors!"

Listening to these words from below the stage, Yan Hui felt a chill run from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and his hands and feet became ice-cold.

The last Dongjiang online exchange competition.

After he defeated Lin Ye.

The next opponent is Xue Wangshu.

Furthermore, this wasn't their first time facing off.

But Xue Wangshu never used the Burning Fist technique in any of these instances.

Even so, Yan Hui never won; in fact, every time he suffered a crushing defeat with no suspense whatsoever.

Even Xue Wangshu in his normal state was like an insurmountable mountain, so how terrifying must he be now, empowered by the Burning Fist?
Yan Hui dared not think about it.

Faced with Xue Wangshu's undisguised provocation and murderous intent.

Lin Ye did not choose to respond.

With a slight thought, he silently adjusted the P1 health on his system panel to the lowest level of 1 point.

"Game start!"

The moment the referee's voice fell, he immediately stepped back, afraid of being caught in the aftershocks of the terrifying battle on stage.

As it turned out, he was very prescient.

Because the very next moment after he announced the start.

One in black and one in red, the two figures collided violently in the center of the arena!
There was no probing, only the most primal and violent clash!
A raging heatwave swept out like a tsunami.

The audience in the front row could even clearly smell the burnt smell emanating from their own hair.

Some of the weaker students had stinging eyes and were constantly tearing up, making it impossible for them to see the scene on the stage.

too fast!
That's so brutal!
All they could hear was the deafening clang of metal striking metal.

Every collision between the gauntlets and the gun blade sent shivers through the air!

After a few seconds.

The two intertwined afterimages suddenly separated, each landing in a corner of the arena.

Xue Wangshu's chest heaved, and the look of surprise and doubt in his eyes grew stronger.

He had thought that once he activated the Burning Fist, it would be a crushing defeat.

But the other party actually managed to block it!
Not only that, but they seem to be handling it with ease!

the other side.

With just a few parries and block-and-response, Lin Ye's P1 health bar was emptied.

P2 phase activation!
This is why Xue Wangshu chose to distance herself from Lin Ye and did not continue fighting him.

Because at almost the same moment, his fighting instincts issued him the sharpest warning!
It seemed as if his opponent had unleashed some hidden power he couldn't even imagine.

If he stays any longer, he

On the second-floor viewing area, Li Kainian's ever-present smile froze slightly at this moment.

For the first time, a genuine look of surprise flashed in his deep eyes.

He felt it too.

On the arena, Lin Ye's strength seemed to have undergone a complete transformation.

【violent】!
Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Ye immediately activated his exclusive burst skill for Phase 2.

A terrifyingly large amount of blood and energy appeared out of thin air within his body!
At the same time, Lin Ye compressed all of this boiling blood and energy and poured it into his feet!
At the same time, Lin Ye's body sank slightly.

He quietly activated [Charged Strike]!
Lin Ye did not pursue maximizing his power.

Because he doesn't need to charge up his power to the maximum to end the battle.

[Instantaneous Movement]!
In everyone's eyes, Lin Ye's figure simply vanished into thin air!
It's not a residual image left by high-speed movement, but a true, complete erasure from sight!

"Ok?"

On the second floor, Li Kainian's expression changed, and his eyes flashed with a sharp light!

Even he was momentarily shocked by Lin Ye's incredible speed!
This speed is absolutely not something a martial artist at the Opening Meridian Realm can possess!

boom--!!!!!!

A thunderous explosion occurred the instant Lin Ye disappeared!

Previously, it was Lin Ye's punch that broke the sound barrier.

This time, it was his men who broke the sound barrier!
On the stage, Xue Wangshu's pupils shrank to the size of pinpoints, and the hairs on his body stood on end!

He didn't see his opponent at all, and didn't even have time to react in the slightest.

But he subconsciously crossed his arms, gathering all his strength and energy to protect himself!
puff! ! !
Amidst the violent sonic boom, a muffled, soft sound of flesh being torn apart was quietly masked.

next second.

When everyone's attention was refocused.

Three figures appeared on the arena.

Lin Ye held the gun in one hand, maintaining a thrusting posture, with the tip of the gun less than half an inch away from Xue Wangshu's throat.

The specially made, high-quality crimson gauntlets on Xue Wangshu's arms had shattered into pieces, turning into a pile of twisted scrap metal that fell to the ground.

His fists were mangled and bloody, the flesh and bone were visible, and blood was dripping from them.

And the third figure...

It was a man in black who appeared out of nowhere.

He stood expressionless between the two of them, his hand casually gripping the tip of Lin Ye's gun, a weapon powerful enough to pierce steel.

Lin Ye was deeply shaken.

He could feel that his teleportation was already at its fastest speed, but this man in black was even faster!
What chilled him to the bone was that he couldn't sense any fluctuations of energy or blood from this man, as if he were just an ordinary person.

But how could an ordinary person appear out of thin air on the stage and catch his fatal shot with one hand?
Lin Ye couldn't even imagine his true strength.

Even those at the Condensation Realm, like his own teacher Chen Meng.

Lin Ye could also sense the vast fluctuations of blood and qi emanating from his body using his mental power.

But Lin Ye couldn't detect the person in front of him at all.

When one's divine sense extends out, it feels as if it has fallen into a black hole.

This is……

A powerful expert in the Divine Intent Realm, above the Condensation Realm?
"you……!"

The excruciating pain shooting through his arms contorted Xue Wangshu's face, and cold sweat instantly soaked his back.

The raging aura of his Burning Fist on his body vanished instantly, as if doused with a bucket of cold water.

He became completely dejected.

It was only then that he realized what had just happened.

His eyes were filled with extreme fear and horror as he stared intently at the gun tip that was about to pierce his throat.

His lips trembled, and he was completely speechless.

Just now, Lin Ye's figure disappeared, and a sonic boom exploded in his ears.

He felt as if his soul had been pierced by a gun capable of penetrating everything!
The gun didn't arrive, but the intention came first!
That was the ultimate concentration of spear intent, and a chilling killing intent!
This shot even gave him the hallucination of being killed on the spot!
Xue Wangshu staggered back a few steps, no longer daring to look at Lin Ye again.

He knew. If it weren't for this mysterious man in black intervening.

The illusion he just saw will become reality.

He really will die.

Chen Meng, who was watching from below the stage, was also extremely excited.

He understood that at this moment, Lin Ye's marksmanship had finally reached the perfection of the third realm of killing.

All it takes is a trigger to enter the fourth realm.

But at the same time, looking at the student he had personally trained on the stage, he felt an unprecedented sense of unfamiliarity.

Is this still the student I know?
On the second floor, Li Kainian spoke softly, his voice not loud, but it clearly carried throughout the room.

"Wei Lin, come back."

Upon hearing this, the man in black on the stage released his grip, his figure flashed, and he disappeared without a sound. In the blink of an eye, he reappeared behind Li Kainian.

It's as if they never left.

This move sent chills down the spines of countless Dongjiang City buildings on the second floor.

What a terrifying strength.

On the arena, Lin Ye slowly sheathed his gun. The berserk state of Phase 2 subsided, and the surging blood and qi within his body returned to calm.

The referee on the sidelines suddenly realized what was happening and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

He loudly announced the outcome of the battle.

"In this match, Lin Ye from Dongjiang No. 1 Middle School wins!"

After the referee's voice faded, the entire observation hall fell silent.

Because everything happened so fast.

Has the battle begun?
It seems to have started.

has it ended?

It seems... it's over too.

From the moment the referee called the call to the first exchange of attacks between the two sides, and then to the moment the outcome was decided, the entire process probably took less than 10 seconds.

They didn't see anything clearly.

They only saw Lin Ye's figure suddenly disappear.

Then came a sonic boom, Xue Wangshu's gauntlets shattered, and horrifying wounds appeared on his hands.

Everything was somewhat absurd.

For years, he has suppressed all his peers in Dongjiang City and is hailed as the number one genius with the potential to become a martial arts saint.

Just like that...

One shot and he's dead!
After a brief silence, a deafening uproar and clamor finally erupted.

It almost lifted the entire dome of the venue!

Under the ring.

Yan Hui was equally astonished.

An indescribable sense of powerlessness, like an icy tide, overwhelmed him.

Xue Wangshu, who could easily kill him, was instantly killed by the person on the stage after activating the Martial Arts Spiritual Burning Fist.

At this moment, Yan Hui was just glad that he wasn't qualified to challenge him.

……

Second floor viewing area.

Li Kainian took a deep look at Lin Ye in the center of the arena, and the calm smile on his face reappeared.

He slowly got up, preparing to leave.

The purpose of this trip was merely to go through the motions, but unexpectedly, I actually discovered a rough gem.

At least, he remembered the name Lin Ye.

Just then, Wang Zhengguo, who was standing to the side, seized this last opportunity and suddenly spoke up.

"Director Li!"

This sound made Li Kainian, who was about to leave, stop in his tracks, and also made Sun Changkong, the director of the Municipal Education Bureau, feel a tightness in his heart.

Wang Zhengguo said with utmost sincerity, "Director Li, Lin Ye's goal has always been to participate in the Qiming General Training Camp held by the provincial military headquarters this year."

"If...if Dongjiang City has any spots available this year, could we send him to participate?"

These words were meant for Li Kainian.

He was saying this to Sun Changkong, who was standing next to him.

Sun Changkong instantly understood and immediately stated, "Director Li, rest assured! Dongjiang City's stance is clear! If the province can allocate a spot, it will not be given to anyone other than Lin Ye!"

Upon hearing this, Li Kainian simply smiled noncommittally.

He looked at Wang Zhengguo and finally said slowly, "The Qiming General Training Camp is directly coordinated by the military. As the deputy director of the Education Department, my reach is not that far."

He paused, his tone remaining calm.

"I don't know how many spots they'll give to Dongjiang this year."

"Or rather, there are no spots available."

Wang Zhengguo's heart skipped a beat and sank to the bottom.

This statement seems to say nothing at all.

But in reality, everything has been said.

If it was just uncertainty, Li Kainian could have simply said the first half of the sentence.

The purpose of adding the second half of the sentence is to illustrate a fact—

Dongjiang won't get a spot this year.

A surge of anxiety welled up in Wang Zhengguo's heart, and he pleaded again, disregarding everything else.

"Director Li... I've watched this child grow up step by step."

“His family background was poor, he had no resources or connections, and he has put in so much sweat and effort along the way. Even as an outsider, I feel sorry for him and think how hard it has been for him.”

“I know that perhaps other cities have produced even more extraordinary geniuses.”

"But you've seen Lin Ye's talent! If possible... if Dongjiang really doesn't have any spots, could you... could you help recommend him?"

He knew that a single word from the deputy director of the Ninghai Education Department carried significant weight with the military.

Moreover, Li Kainian himself came from the military system.

He might have more connections in the military than in the Department of Education.

This is Lin Ye's only chance.

Upon hearing Wang Zhengguo's words, Li Kainian's expression remained largely unchanged.

He did not give a direct answer.

But when his gaze returned to Lin Ye on the arena, he said calmly, "Entering the training camp might not be a good thing for him."

"Without awakening martial arts spirituality, one's competitiveness is ultimately weaker in that place teeming with monsters."

After saying that, Li Kainian did not linger.

He nodded slightly to Sun Changkong and the others, then turned and left with his entourage.

Sun Changkong was left with a bewildered expression, and Wang Zhengguo with his heart hanging in suspense.

Wang Zhengguo stood still, not moving for a long time.

Li Kainian's words need to be carefully considered.

Those words were more like a suggestion and a warning than a complete rejection.

Perhaps it was out of consideration for their camaraderie as former soldiers.

Perhaps it's simply a matter of valuing talent.

Although Li Kainian neither granted nor rejected his request.

This is enough.

I have done everything I could.

As long as Li Kainian is willing to mention it, Lin Ye still has a chance to be selected!
　Still 10,000 votes a day, can you still give me the votes?

　　Mwah, love you all!
