Chapter 136 First Injury
In the CCTV live broadcast studio, two top commentators were already in place. Their voices trembled slightly with excitement as they used all sorts of flowery language to create a grand prelude to this highly anticipated semi-final.
"Dear viewers! Welcome back to the Galaxy Martial Arts University freshman entrance exam!" The male commentator's voice was high-pitched and full of passion. "Now, we are about to witness the semi-finals of this year's exam! And our station will be broadcasting this highly anticipated showdown live!"
"Yes, Teacher Zhang!" The female commentator's voice was equally sweet and full of anticipation. "The two players facing off in this match can be said to be the two most anticipated contestants of this year's exam! On one side is our top prodigy, Tang Dongshan, who has shown unparalleled dominance since the beginning of the competition!"
"On the other side, there is the biggest miracle of this year's exam, a remarkable comeback from 9988th place, achieving a perfect record to enter the top four—Lin Qiye!"
"That's right! One is a top-tier prodigy already renowned, and the other is a mysterious king who has risen to power! Their duel will surely be a clash of titans, a collision of planets! Will Tang Dongshan's 'Triple Wave Slash' be invincible, or will Lin Qiye's martial will prevail? Let's wait and see!"
Following their introductions, Lin Qiye and Tang Dongshan slowly entered the training ground through their respective passages.
Tang Dongshan was of medium height and had an ordinary appearance; he was the kind of person who would be easily overlooked in a crowd.
But his eyes were incredibly bright, as if two sharp blades were hidden within them, their edge fully revealed.
Unlike his previous opponents who chose multiple weapons, he simply took a standard alloy longsword from the weapon rack.
He didn't even glance at Lin Qiye, he just stood there quietly.
It was as if in his world there was nothing but himself and the knife in his hand.
A cold and pure sword intent slowly emanated from him, formless and intangible, yet it froze the atmosphere of the entire training ground.
On the other side, Lin Qiye remained the same as always.
He carried a long spear, a small shield, and six javelins on his back.
He looked at Tang Dongshan, who was wiping his knife, and his expression became more serious than ever before.
He could clearly sense a tremendous threat emanating from the other party.
It was a power completely different from Xiao Ying's spiritual power, Qin Xiaoxiao's medicine, and Wang Haotian's military spirit.
It is the purest and most extreme heart of a martial artist, who pours everything into the sword in his hand, becoming one with the sword.
This is a true powerhouse!
As the bell rang, the competition officially began!
Tang Dongshan slowly raised his head, and his sharp, razor-sharp eyes finally landed on Lin Qiye.
His gaze was eerily calm, devoid of the slightest emotional fluctuation, as if he were looking at a dead man.
"Triple Wave Slash, First Slash".
He announced it calmly, and then his whole body moved.
Without the slightest warning, his figure seemed to vanish into thin air.
In the next instant, a dazzling blade of light, like lightning tearing through the night sky, appeared in front of Lin Qiye!
fast!
Extremely fast!
It was so fast that even the most advanced high-speed cameras at the headquarters could only capture a blurry afterimage!
At the same time, a chilling, bone-piercing blade intent, like a maggot clinging to bone, instantly locked onto Lin Qiye's mind!
However, what awaited him was a supervolcano that had already awakened and was about to erupt!
Lin Qiye's eyes instantly turned scorching, and his already controlled Level 6 [Martial Will - Fiery Rage] erupted with a roar!
boom!
Tang Dongshan felt a terrifying aura, powerful enough to burn even the soul to ashes, crashing into his rock-solid sword intent like a shockwave from a supernova explosion!
His body jolted suddenly, and his forward momentum faltered uncontrollably by a barely perceptible slowing.
A hint of horror finally surfaced in his sharp eyes!
Such a strong will to fight!
It was far, far better than he could have imagined!
Although the shock of that moment shook him to his core, it did not completely destroy his fighting spirit!
He bit his tongue sharply to calm himself, and the long knife in his hand continued its momentum, still carrying an unparalleled sharpness, as it slashed down fiercely towards Lin Qiye's neck!
However, Lin Qiye's reaction was much faster than he had imagined!
Just as the dazzling blade was about to strike, a small, round alloy shield appeared precisely before the blade, as if it had foreseen the future!
"Clang!"
A deafening explosion resounded throughout the entire training ground!
Sparks flew everywhere!
An overwhelming force surged from the shield!
As Lin Qiye stepped back to dissipate the force, his spear, like a venomous dragon emerging from its lair, pierced Tang Dongshan's weak point with unparalleled penetrating power!
Faced with this fatal blow, Tang Dongshan's movements were ultimately slowed by the terrifying impact of the martial arts will.
Normally, his second strike would have been ready to be launched, enough to force Lin Qiye to switch back to defense.
But now, he faces a difficult choice.
Is it to abandon the continuous sword strike, stop the second strike, and focus all efforts on blocking Lin Qiye's sure-kill spear?
Or... risk everything, even at the cost of injury?!
In Tang Dongshan's mind, there was almost no hesitation; only one thought remained, as deeply ingrained as a brand—
Draw your sword!
In his view, once the first strike is made, a second strike must follow! Once the sword's momentum is unleashed, it is like a surging river, moving forward relentlessly with no possibility of retreat!
However, Lin Qiye's spear was ultimately a fraction longer and a fraction faster!
puff!
The cold tip of the gun pierced through his combat uniform at the side of his waist without any doubt, and deeply penetrated his flesh!
However, Tang Dongshan let out a muffled groan, a terrifying madness flashing in his eyes! Instead of retreating, he advanced, letting the spear pierce through his body, using the force to pounce on him again like a ghost!
How decisive!
He used his own flesh and blood to withstand Lin Qiye's fatal shot, creating an excellent opportunity for his second strike!
"Second strike!"
His voice remained calm, but the glint of the blade in his hand was even more dazzling and swift than before!
The dazzling blade light seemed to transform into a thunderbolt descending from the sky, carrying the power to judge everything, and once again slashed towards Lin Qiye!
Lin Qiye's pupils suddenly contracted!
He knew he absolutely could not take this blow head-on!
He took a step back, narrowly avoiding the fatal blow!
Sizzle—!
A dazzling flash of light grazed his shoulder, leaving a deep, bone-revealing gash on his million-dollar "Guardian" combat suit, sparks flying everywhere!
A trickle of bright red blood slowly seeped out from the tear in the combat uniform.
He's injured!
This is his first injury since the start of the season!
