Lin Yao ignored the wails of the losers. After learning about the means and abilities of the top 10, he skipped the other contestants and looked directly at the fourth place in the top class, who was also the strongest intermediate martial artist.
There was no need for the instructor to invite him. As soon as Lin Yao's voice rang out, a tall man jumped into the arena.
"Flash and thunderous sound are good, but your moves are useless against me."
This was a tall man, about the same height as Zhou Yang, who had been in Lin Yao's previous class. The difference was that Zhou Yang had not grown up yet. He … He had not completely grown up either, but he had already begun to show his extraordinary potential.
Upon seeing him, Lin Yao's expression turned solemn. He could sense the threat from the opposite party. However, this threat did not make Lin Yao afraid. Instead, excitement grew in his heart.
'I've finally met an evenly matched opponent. You're Shi Qiang, right? I hope you can entertain me to the fullest! '
"An evenly matched opponent? Aren't you underestimating me? You are one level lower than me, you scoundrel! "
Before he could finish his words, Shi Qiang's huge body had already dashed toward him like a mammoth.
As he ran, his muscles suddenly swelled, and his body glowed with a metallic luster. A terrifying aura pressed down on Lin Yao.
Phew.
Lin Yao had no intention of retreating. While facing Shi Qiang, who was like a mammoth, Lin Yao merely took a deep breath, sheathed his long sword, and made a sword-drawing gesture.
"It's the Sword-Drawing Technique again, but I'm not afraid!"
Rumble!
Shi Qiang, who was dashing toward him, slapped Lin Yao with the Great Monument Breaking Hand. The huge palm tore through the air, causing Lin Yao's hair to dance wildly and the air to buzz.
Lin Yao had a feeling that even steel would shatter under this palm.
However, Lin Yao had no intention of dodging this palm. When the iron palm struck, Lin Yao's eyes flashed, and he once again entered the state of accelerated thinking.
After receiving a series of electric currents in his brain, everything in the world seemed to slow down in Lin Yao's eyes. He could clearly feel the power of the huge palm, as well as Shi Qiang's physical skills.
'I can't resist it with my physical strength alone. Release the shackles! '
As Lin Yao focused his gaze, crackling sounds were heard continuously in Lin Yao's body. This was the sound of the electric current stimulating his muscles and unlocking the safety restrictions of his body.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Yao had released 200% of the shackles in his body and integrated the power of his body immediately.
Lin Yao seemed to be thinking about a lot of things, but due to his accelerated thinking, all this happened in the blink of an eye. When he closed his eyes and opened them again, Lin Yao had already integrated the power in his body. Then, there was a thunderous explosion.
Lin Yao pulled out a bolt of lightning and struck it in front of him at an extreme speed.
"Chi!"
The stone wall was powerful, but Lin Yao, who had been stimulated by the thunder and lightning, moved even faster. In the end, relying on his extreme speed, Lin Yao's ironwood sword, which was full of electric sparks, bypassed the violent Great Monument Breaking Hand and struck the stone wall first.
"I've won. Martial artists not only need to be big and tough, but they also need to be fast enough!"
As the sword fell, Lin Yao waited for Shi Qiang to be sent flying backward, just like his previous enemies.
However, Lin Yao was stunned by what happened next. Unlike the previous times when he had sent his opponents flying with one sword move, when the sword struck the stone wall, Lin Yao felt as if he had struck a mountain made of iron and stone. The ironwood sword, which was full of electric sparks, rubbed against the stone wall and produced dazzling sparks, as if two pieces of steel had collided.
Chi! Chi!
After the sparks, there was only a shallow wound on the stone wall's body. He was not injured at all.
"It's so tough. How is this possible?"
A horrified expression appeared on Lin Yao's face. However, this was not the time to talk about this. The stone wall was as immovable as a mountain.
When the sword fell, Lin Yao, who had returned empty-handed, had to face the stone wall's powerful and heavy palm.
Fortunately, Lin Yao's physique did not improve after being stimulated by the thunder and lightning, but his speed and strength had skyrocketed. Since the Sword-Drawing Technique had failed, he immediately placed his left hand on the ironwood sword, held the hilt with both hands, and slashed at the stone wall's palm with all his might.
Relying on the speed stimulated by the thunder and lightning, Lin Yao finally managed to strike the stone wall's palm with the long sword before the stone wall could attack him.
However, something that made Lin Yao's heart tremble happened again. Lin Yao had used all his strength to strike the sword, but he still failed to subdue Shi Qiang.
With a loud bang, the sword and the palm collided. In the end, the ironwood sword, which had been with Lin Yao for a long time, shattered.
"What a powerful force."
The shattering of the sword with all his strength made Lin Yao truly feel how powerful Shi Qiang was.
This guy might not have gorgeous martial arts skills or special talents, but he was powerful and strong, and his body was as hard as iron. He was a headache to deal with.
Bang! Shi Qiangqiang\'s powerful and heavy palm slapped Lin Yao\'s chest hard despite the ironwood sword.
There was a loud bang, and Lin Yao was sent flying five meters away by the slap.
Fortunately, the previous sword strike was not in vain. Although the ironwood sword had shattered, Lin Yao's sword had also dissipated some of the force of Shi Qiang's palm.
This palm did not hurt Lin Yao's muscles and bones. Of course, more importantly, Lin Yao had the Body of Light, so his defensive ability was not very weak.
After being slapped and sent flying, Lin Yao's body swayed. He tapped the ground with his toes and relied on the lightning to move extremely fast, avoiding Shi Qiang's subsequent series of attacks and deactivating the state of accelerated thinking.
Phew …
After taking a deep breath and looking at Di Qiang's body, Lin Yao felt a headache coming on.
'This is troublesome. It's too difficult for me to hurt him.'
Lin Yao was having a headache. Shi Qiang was a little surprised to see the scar on his chest and the palm that had been slapped crooked.
"You actually hurt me and even made my palm crooked. You're not bad."
Upon seeing Lin Yao's dissatisfied expression, he said,
"Do you know that I practice the Titanium Body and the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm? The former allows me to fuse metals to enhance my defense, and the latter gives me the strength of the Dragon Elephant. With these two abilities, even an advanced martial artist who has not mastered the profound meaning is no match for me. You're only a beginner martial artist, yet you're able to hurt me. The principal was right about you."
As he said that, a sinister smile appeared on his face.
"However, you're a genius, and so am I. Don't think of using me as a stepping stone!"
Boom!
Before he finished speaking, he rushed toward Lin Yao like a mammoth again. The large tendons on his palms were twisted, and they were glowing with a metallic luster as they slapped toward Lin Yao's body.
As he looked at Shi Qiang and sensed his terrifying aura, Lin Yao felt a headache coming on. He also lamented the horror of martial arts after the abundance of resources.
'The geniuses in No.4 High School in an ordinary city are already so terrifying. How terrifying are the powerhouses in Shanghai and the capital? My current talent is not the best yet.'
While Lin Yao was lamenting, Shi Qiang had already rushed to Lin Yao's front and slapped Lin Yao's body with an irresistible force.
However, the moment his palm attacked, Lin Yao's body swayed and he flashed to Shi Qiang's side.
After fighting for a while, Lin Yao found out how powerful Shi Qiang was and his weakness.
His defense was indeed indestructible, and his attacks were powerful and heavy. However, the characteristics of the Titanium Body, which was fused with steel, gave him unparalleled defense, but it also made him extremely heavy and could not move fast at all.
Even without activating the thinking speed acceleration, Lin Yao was able to swim around the stone wall like a swimming fish by relying on the Body of Light's 90% boost to his physical strength. Thus, Shi Qiang could not catch him at all.
"Scoundrel! A man should fight force with force. Fight with me! Why are you running?!"
He was roaring angrily, but Lin Yao turned a deaf ear to him.
Lin Yao was so infuriated that he yelled loudly. His palms danced in the air, but he could not catch Lin Yao's figure.
However, Lin Yao was also helpless. Shi Qiang's defense was too strong.
After Lin Yao lost the ironwood sword, he went to Shi Qiang's side and repeatedly hammered Shi Qiang's body with military boxing. However, after a round of hammering, Lin Yao discovered that Shi Qiang was not affected except for the pain in his palms.
'What is the Titanium Body? Could it be a king-level technique? It's too hard.'
Lin Yao was completely helpless against this iron lump.
'Fortunately, he can't do anything to me … Wait a minute, this is …'
Just when Lin Yao thought that he could not do anything to Shi Qiang and Shi Qiang could not do anything to him, something happened that made Lin Yao's eyes almost pop out.
Upon seeing that the consecutive attacks were ineffective, Shi Qiang took a deep breath. This scene was very familiar to Lin Yao, and he had a bad feeling about it.
"Lion's Roar!!!"
"Roar!"
"Rumble!"
Terrifying thunder boomed in the arena. One sounded like a lion's roar, while the other sounded like a thunderbolt.
Two terrifying sounds echoed in the room, causing the crowd of geniuses to cover their ears and feel a buzzing in their heads.
Of course, they were still fine. The two people in the arena were the ones who were really injured by the roar.
Lin Yao and Shi Qiang's eyes were rolling back, and they looked dumbfounded.
They were dizzy from the shock.
The students watching the battle below the arena burst into laughter when they saw the two of them staring at each other dumbfoundedly.
"Pfft, I'm dying of laughter. Shi Qiang has finally met his match. In the past, when he couldn't catch his opponent, he used the lion's roar to stun them. This time, he has met someone who roars even louder than him."
"The battle has turned into a roar. It's so funny."
"Hey, who do you think will come to their senses first?"
"Of course it's Shi Qiang. He has a strong body and a stronger resistance to abnormalities."
"If Shi Qiang recovers first, Lin Yao will be in danger. Shi Qiang will be invincible in close combat."
"He deserves it. Who told him to be so arrogant?"
"Arrogant? I don't think so. He defeated Xu Qingyang and fought with Shi Qiang. Even if he is defeated this time, he is still a powerhouse. After all, Shi Qiang is the top intermediate martial artist in our class."
…
While the people below the arena were discussing, Shi Qiang had already recovered.
"That's a good response, but my body recovered first!"
"I won this time."
Shi Qiang, who had recovered first, did not hesitate at all. He slapped Lin Yao's chest fiercely, preparing to win while Lin Yao had not regained consciousness.
That powerful palm strike carried Shi Qiang's hopes as it pierced right through his chest …
"It pierced through? Oh no, it's a trap … "
Shi Qiang's expression changed completely when he saw that his palm had not sent Lin Yao flying. Instead, it had pierced through Lin Yao's chest.
At that moment, he still realized that he had been tricked.
Unfortunately, there was no time for regret.
After he struck out with his palm, from the side, a fist covered in lightning had already struck his shoulder fiercely.
With a loud bang, Shi Qiang, who had been caught off guard, was sent flying by the punch. There was a slight dent on his shoulder, and then a cracking sound was heard in the arena.
However, when the dust settled, everyone was surprised to see that Lin Yao was the one who had broken his arm. Although Shi Qiang had been caught off guard and sent flying, he only flew for five meters before he managed to stand still.
"It's so hard."
"It's a pity that he used the Clear Mirror Body Technique just now. Student Lin Yao is very smart. Although I don't know what method he used to recover with Shi Qiang, he didn't reveal his real body after he recovered. Instead, he used the Clear Mirror Body Technique to deceive Shi Qiang and then attacked him when he was unprepared. It's a pity that Shi Qiang's body is too hard."
"Indeed, that guy is a lump of iron."
…
Everyone was discussing this. Shi Qiang, who had been sent flying, was also very angry. However, just as he stood up and was about to charge again, Instructor Tu Hong's voice was heard.
"Okay, stop it. You've already lost."
Shi Qiang was infuriated by the instructor's words, and he was even more dumbfounded.
"Hey, Instructor, don't stop it. I'm going to defeat him with my own hands … Wait a minute, I've lost. What do you mean?"
"What else can I mean? Use your brain and think!"
