Everyone reacted differently to Lin Yao\'s extreme state, but he was the first to be attacked.
While he was increasing his strength explosively, Quan Lei did not stay on the spot and wait for Lin Yao\'s attack like Lin Yao\'s previous opponents. Instead, he took a step forward and pounced on Lin Yao like a cheetah.
This was not an exaggeration. As he pounced, his humanoid body suddenly distorted, and shiny fur and spots grew on his body. In a very short time, the man named Quan Lei transformed from a human into a half-human, half-cheetah half-orc.
After transforming into a half-orc, his basic attributes skyrocketed. In the blink of an eye, he crossed a distance of more than 10 meters and pounced on Lin Yao. His pair of sharp claws were so fast that they left afterimages, tearing the air and grabbing at Lin Yao\'s head.
\ 'He\'s very fast.\'
Lin Yao\'s mind raced, and there was a flash of lightning in his eyes. Amid the intense lightning, everything in the world seemed to slow down in his eyes.
In the past, everything seemed to be moving in slow motion in this field of vision. However, the situation had changed this time. Even with accelerated thinking, Quan Lei\'s sharp claws were astonishingly fast.
\ 'If I can\'t block it … I won\'t block it then!\'
The electric current was connected to his brain, and Lin Yao\'s arithmetic ability and reaction speed had also been greatly enhanced. As soon as he thought of not blocking it, Lin Yao\'s arm, which was still in a sword-drawing posture, suddenly twitched, and he drew out the lightning.
The bright lightning swept past the two sharp claws and cut toward the chest and abdomen of the half-orc from the middle. Of course, after this action, the two sharp claws were no longer hindered, and they went straight for Lin Yao\'s head.
"You want to perish together with me? Unfortunately, I have already guessed your move."
As the sword gleam approached, there was no trace of fear in Quan Lei\'s vertical eyes. There was only calmness and cruelty toward his prey.
A moment later, when the sword gleam reached Quan Lei\'s body, the spots on the cheetah that Quan Lei had transformed into suddenly darkened, and a strange scene took place. When the spots darkened, Quan Lei could not detect any information about the cheetah. The long sword with the dazzling lightning flashed past the cheetah, as if it had hit an illusion.
\ 'Is this a clone ability?\'
Lin Yao was also shocked to encounter this situation. However, he soon came back to his senses and discovered that the cheetah had not dissipated. Instead, the spots lit up after it passed by him, and he could sense its aura again. This made him understand what he had encountered.
"It's not a clone, it's a void-form."
By relying on the acceleration of nerve conduction by the electric current, Lin Yao had a premonition that something was amiss. He pulled out the long sword and swung it backward abruptly, trying to stop Quan Lei, who had transformed into a cheetah. However, it was too late.
After evading the Thunderlight Sword-Drawing Technique and bypassing Lin Yao, Quan Lei's pair of sharp claws grabbed Lin Yao's torso from behind.
"It's over."
"His ability is not bad, but his combat experience is too little. Instead of leaving after missing his attack, he immediately counterattacked. He hasn't encountered any setbacks before."
"Entering the arena, but not guarding against Quan Lei's ability at all. What laziness."
Lin Yao and Quan Lei moved very quickly, and many people in the venue could not see them clearly. However, there were still powerhouses present, and those who could see clearly knew that Lin Yao had made a mistake.
There were too few low-level vital energy seeds, and one mistake was enough to cause one to lose. Therefore, many people judged that the battle was already over.
But soon, a scene that made their eyes narrow happened.
Quan Lei, who had relied on his void-ification to launch a surprise attack, had indeed attacked Lin Yao. However, when the attack landed on Lin Yao's body, there was no sound of flesh being torn apart. Instead, there was the sharp and irritating sound of claws scratching steel.
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle …
The sound was sharp and ear-piercing, but it quickly disappeared. When the sound receded, Lin Yao and Quan Lei had already separated.
Sensing that the Holy Light Garment on his back had been scratched and torn, Lin Yao felt …
Well, there was nothing. He was still very convinced of the Holy Light Garment. In addition to the holy garment, his body had been activated by the light energy and was very strong.
Because of this ability, he did not waste time listening to Instructor Tu Hong's explanation.
One had to be strong to be fearless.
As he felt the light energy restoring his body, Lin Yao was even in the mood to reflect on the battle just now.
'After missing my attack, I shouldn't have swung my sword backward. At that time, I should have rushed forward and distanced myself from Quan Lei. That way, his attack would have also missed. Sure enough, I still have too little combat experience. '
Along the way, Lin Yao had fought many battles. However, he had either relied on unexpected combat skills to win those battles, or he had temporarily unleashed powerful strength and crushed the enemy with absolute strength and speed. Lin Yao had rarely experienced an anxious battle with someone of the same level.
Even if this was the first time, it had also exposed his lack of combat experience.
However, compared to Lin Yao's emotional reflection, his opponent, Quan Lei, had an ugly expression on his face, as if his father had died.
"I can't even break it with a full blow. What is that thing?"
"It's a defensive combat skill. Your attack power is very strong. If I hadn't comprehended the profound meaning of this combat skill, I wouldn't have been able to defend against it."
Lin Yao felt more at ease when he sensed that the cracks in the holy garment on his back were being repaired by the light energy.
However, he felt at ease. Quan Lei looked at Lin Yao, who had been maintaining the holy garment's cover, and was on the verge of breaking down.
"Scoundrel, how can this be a profound meaning? The profound meaning of the combat skill can never be maintained for such a long time."
Quan Lei, who had transformed into a shadow leopard, was not afraid of the profound meaning of the defensive combat skill. Based on the knowledge he had learned, except for some special people, most of the profound meanings of defensive combat skills were indeed powerful at a low level. However, due to energy consumption, these profound meanings could often only be used for a short period of time.
This was also very terrifying. The profound meaning of defense could block almost all low-level attacks in a short period of time. Powerful martial artists would use this to block fatal moves and turn the situation around.
However, this profound meaning could only turn the situation around. The outcome of the battle depended on a battle of wits and courage, as well as the grasp of timing.
However, Lin Yao was shameless. He had covered his entire body with the move that others regarded as a fatal move. What was more terrifying was that this kind of defense could last for a long time. This made Quan Lei feel helpless.
"I don't believe it. It's impossible for you to maintain it for such a long time."
Unwilling or in disbelief, Quan Lei transformed into a cheetah and dashed toward Lin Yao again.
However, while he was dashing forward, Lin Yao would not be knocked down by the same move a second time.
"Inhale …"
Lin Yao took a deep breath, and his abdomen bulged slightly. Quan Lei, who knew Lin Yao's move, had a cold expression on his face, and his cheetah ears collapsed, covering his ears.
'You are really guarded against me. '
Upon seeing Quan Lei's actions, Lin Yao did not roar after taking a deep breath. Instead, a round mirror-like object rose from behind Lin Yao and eventually stood on top of his head.
"What is that?"
This was the question on many people's minds, and they soon found out. After the round mirror rose, there was almost no hesitation, and light burst out of the mirror.
The dazzling light shot straight 100 meters away, and the furious Quan Lei, who was dashing forward, was hit directly.
'It's a pity that the condensed light energy is still not much. Otherwise, this would be a high-power laser cannon … However, this is enough for now. '
It was indeed enough. The light in the round mirror continued to shine. What was uncomfortable was that although this light did not have the power of a laser, its brightness was amazing. It was like a flash bomb, and Quan Lei could not open his eyes.
Compared to an ordinary flash bomb, the duration was very short, but the round mirror kept shining. Quan Lei was not only blinded by this strong light, but it also continued to be blinded.
What was even more tragic was that he had dashed straight toward Lin Yao, and Lin Yao's mirror had risen at the right time. As a result, he was plotted against when he was close to Lin Yao, and he had no chance to escape.
"What should you do? Do you want to turn into nothingness or charge forward?"
Holding the hilt of the sword, Lin Yao was ready to strike.
He did not have to wait for long. Blindness had a huge impact on people. In a panic, the spots on Quan Lei's body darkened again, and its aura disappeared from Lin Yao's perception.
Two breaths later, Quan Lei's figure flashed past Lin Yao's side, and he returned from his illusory state.
As soon as he appeared, the slate under Lin Yao's feet suddenly shattered, and he rushed forward like a thunderbolt.
The two were very close to each other, and Quan Lei had almost no time to react. He could only turn his head and get ready to fight Lin Yao.
Then, he was dumbfounded. The round mirror-like light had not disappeared. It continued to emit light toward the front as Lin Yao moved. Quan Lei, who had turned his head, happened to be illuminated. His eyes instantly lit up, but he could not see anything other than the strong light.
Clang!
There was the sound of a sword being unsheathed. Lin Yao drew out the thunderlight again and slashed it in front of him.
Since he could not see, Lin Yao had thought that there would be no mishaps with this attack. However, something unexpected still happened. Since he could not open his eyes, the half-orc that Quan Lei had transformed into waved its pair of sharp claws and actually blocked Lin Yao's Sword-Drawing Technique.
[Beast Intuition]
Kacha!
The sword and the sharp claws collided. Lin Yao and Quan Lei went all out, desperately trying to overwhelm each other.
During the collision, Lin Yao was surprised to discover that the basic attributes of the opponent were only slightly lower than his.
This was normal. Quan Lei had been at the peak of a martial artist for a year and a half, and his Black Body was likely to have exceeded 150%. Beastification also gave him an advantage.
Beastification was a kind of talent that belonged to the physical awakening category. At a low level, people who obtained the beastification ability could transform, which would greatly improve their physical fitness.
According to the awakened bloodline, the basic attributes of the martial artist after beastification would be improved differently. However, most of them could be improved several times, and some creatures with illusory beasts could also obtain some talents.
The only pity was that, except for some rare illusory beasts and divine beasts, most beastists had a limit. This was why this kind of talent was not rated highly.
However, the low potential was a problem for the future. Beastists were really strong in the early stage, and this was the situation that Lin Yao was facing now. The cheetah, or rather, the shadow leopard, was not a weak beast. The opponent was only slightly suppressed by Lin Yao.
The stalemate lasted for a moment. A moment later, the floor under Lin Yao's feet exploded again. He activated the Thunderbolt Sword-Drawing Technique — Charging Momentum, and his entire body smashed forward like a cannonball.
The physical cannonball appeared again.
