Chapter 138 - 112: Terrifying Winning Streak
"To be fair, the streamer watches people fight every day. By now, even a pig would have picked up a few moves! Haha!"
"But that Goblin he’s fighting is no slouch, managing to block the streamer’s fierce assault!"
On the battlefield, Dong Dongchen and Lin Ye disengaged, putting several meters between them after a rapid exchange of blows.
His chest rose and fell slightly, his eyes filled with amazement.
"Dude, you’re pretty good!"
He switched on the public microphone again, his earlier flippant tone gone and replaced by genuine admiration.
"Your spear style is pretty standard, and your Cultivation Technique probably isn’t anything special, but your fundamentals are rock-solid."
"Not bad. Really, not bad at all!"
’Perhaps it was a professional habit kicking in.’
Dong Dongchen began to critique Lin Ye right then and there.
"But this is where it ends!"
Dong Dongchen’s gaze suddenly sharpened.
"Round two! I’m getting serious now!"
Hearing this, Lin Ye spoke as well, a rare occurrence.
"Alright."
"Then I’ll get serious, too."
The moment the words left his lips, the world in Lin Ye’s eyes transformed.
Across from him, Dong Dongchen’s figure blurred into an afterimage and charged forward again.
This time, he was at least thirty percent faster than before!
It was as if he had become one with his spear, transforming into a silver dragon that rushed forward with a shriek that tore through the air.
’I already acknowledge his strength,’ Dong Dongchen thought. ’Now, it’s time to use my overwhelming advantage to teach this kid about the cruelty of the Martial Realm and the terrifying power of a great clan’s foundation!’
The live stream chat erupted in gasps of astonishment.
"Holy shit! That’s so fast! Chen, you motherfucker, you were holding back this whole time?!"
Unfortunately for him, the speed he unleashed with all his might was nothing special in Lin Ye’s eyes.
This time, Lin Ye didn’t choose to block.
Just as the impossibly fast glint of Dong Dongchen’s spear was about to hit him, Lin Ye swayed slightly.
It was an infinitesimally small sidestep.
Perfectly timed.
The fatal thrust grazed the hem of his clothes, striking nothing but air.
Startled, Dong Dongchen immediately changed his attack to a horizontal sweep!
But Lin Ye simply took a single step back.
The spear howled past, missing its mark once more.
What followed was an unbelievable scene that unfolded before the eyes of the hundred thousand viewers in the live stream.
As if possessed, Dong Dongchen pushed his spear technique to its absolute limit.
His assault was furious and relentless, seemingly sealing off every possible path of escape.
And yet, Lin Ye was like a small boat tossed on a stormy sea.
He used only the simplest, most basic footwork to evade again and again.
Every move he made placed him perfectly within the blind spots of Dong Dongchen’s spear.
None of Dong Dongchen’s attacks could so much as graze the corner of Lin Ye’s clothes.
Meanwhile, Lin Ye was rapidly making an assessment.
’He compared his opponent’s attack patterns to those of his teacher, Chen Meng.’
’Hm, still not as good as my teacher.’
’My teacher’s fighting style was forged in countless life-or-death battles; it’s wild and unpredictable.’
’Every move is designed to kill.’
’This opponent, on the other hand... his spear technique is exquisite, but far too formulaic.’
’All technique, not enough killing intent.’
But it was precisely because he had sparred with Chen Meng for so long, enduring countless hellish training sessions to strengthen his Body Technique, that Lin Ye could now display such an almost demonic, effortless dodging ability.
Beads of cold sweat had already formed on Dong Dongchen’s forehead.
’Something’s wrong.’
’Something’s very wrong!’
’Why does it feel like my ferocious assault is nothing more than a child flailing a wooden stick around?’
His opponent hadn’t even attempted to block.
[?????????]
"I’m getting the feeling this Goblin soldier is more than he seems..."
"More than he seems? I’d say he’s the real deal!"
"No shit! We’ve watched so many of Chen’s streams. Have you ever seen a top expert, when being pressured this hard, just dodge and not fight back?"
"He’s had several chances to counter-attack the instant he dodged, but he didn’t take them!"
"What’s he waiting for? Is he testing his Body Technique?"
Amid the discussion, the situation on the battlefield changed dramatically.
Having completely deciphered his opponent’s attack patterns and tested his own Body Technique after its recent surge in stats, the light in Lin Ye’s perpetually calm eyes sharpened.
With almost no warning, Lin Ye’s counter-attack began.
His spear tore through the air with a deep whistle.
It was an incredibly ordinary, incredibly basic horizontal sweep.
The sweep was so fast that Dong Dongchen’s pupils contracted instantly; he had no time to make any evasive maneuvers.
’Dodging is impossible!’
Dong Dongchen could only grit his teeth, pour all his body’s Qi and Blood into his arms, position his spear horizontally before his chest, and brace for impact!
CLANG—!!!
An unprecedented, thunderous roar echoed throughout the arena!
Dong Dongchen felt an irresistible, terrifying force erupt from his opponent’s spear shaft.
His arms went numb in an instant, the webbing of his hands split open from the impact, and his entire body was sent flying backward uncontrollably!
Before he could even stabilize himself in mid-air,
the shadow of a black spear was already upon him, following like a phantom!
It was an overwhelming torrent of spear shadows, a relentless assault that plunged him into despair!
Every thrust was impossibly fast!
And yet, the power behind each thrust was also terrifyingly immense, as if every collision were a strike from a giant siege hammer!
This completely defied logic!
Dong Dongchen’s mind went blank.
In Lin Ye’s previous spear style...
Heavy spear strikes were for raw power, while fluid techniques excelled in speed. One could not have both.
