Chapter 136  : Ultimate Release Of Power

There was no fierce confrontation between Lin Yao and Zhuang Jian. One could not see a flash of electricity, nor any surging winds. Everything was silent.

This atmosphere even affected the surrounding spectators, making them close their mouths, not daring to make a sound.

Silence spread in the field, lasting for five seconds. In the end, it was Lin Yao who spoke first.

“You are indeed a student from No. 1 High School. You are very calm and steady.”

“…”

The opponent reacted indifferently to Lin Yao’s words. He merely stared intently at Lin Yao, guarding himself against his surprise attack.

Lin Yao was not disappointed by his response. Instead, a faint smile formed on his face.

“You are very good. It’s a pity that tomorrow will be a sunny day and I only need to fight one battle today.”

“?”

The opponent did not understand Lin Yao’s words, but he soon knew what he meant. As soon as Lin Yao finished speaking, there was suddenly a flash of thunder and lightning all over his body.

Buzz, buzz!

The terrifying thunder and lightning raged, causing Lin Yao’s hair to stand on end and his eyes to become silvery white. Lin Yao was a powerful presence amid the thundering light. His energy and power had skyrocketed in a very short time and surpassed his condition yesterday.

Zhuang Jian sensed the momentum and could no longer remain calm. There was a flash of panic in his eyes.

“You are crazy!”

He was not the only one who shouted in shock. The two commentators on the edge of the arena were also startled, their eyes widening in alarm.

“Stop it now.”

“This is just a competition. There is no need to go all out!”

Exclamations rang out one after another, and the reason everyone was so surprised was that they had discovered that Lin Yao was draining and exhausting his body to the extreme.

When unleashing the military boxing gene lock, the human body could withstand 100% of the power. However, unleashing 200% of the power would be considered desperate. As long as it was stimulated to a certain degree, regardless of whether it could defeat the enemy or not, it would cause injuries to oneself. If it was released continuously, one might even suffer irreversible injuries.

Lin Yao had the Body of Light and the guardian holy seal to protect himself. Therefore, his body’s ability to withstand such power was much stronger than that of ordinary people. Hence, 200% of power was considered normal for Lin Yao.

However, right now, Lin Yao was stimulating his muscles, causing them to unleash more than 200% of power. He was stimulating his muscles with all his strength so that they would release the most powerful force in the shortest time. Even though Lin Yao had the protection of the power of light, his body still could not bear such a terrifying release of power. As thunderbolts surrounded him, blood spurted out of Lin Yao’s seven orifices.

Lin Yao had yet to attack the opponent and was already injured.

Right now, his stimulation of the physical body had reached 300%.

The terrifying release of power caused tremendous pressure on Lin Yao but also increased Lin Yao’s strength to the maximum limit that could be reached at this stage.

Lin Yao grinned at Zhuang Jian and stepped on his left foot.

He smashed the hard stone slabs of the arena with a loud bang, and his figure instantly turned into an electric light, charging forward like thunder.

“Scoundrel!”

Zhuang Jian was furious that Lin Yao was fighting at the expense of his own life. However, when Lin Yao charged over at him, he naturally had to resist his attacks. He spun his long spear right away, stabbing it forward like a charging dragon.

The simplest move of the spear was stabbing it forward at the enemy. However, the simplicity of this move did not mean that it lacked power or strength. From a young age, Zhuang Jian had practiced the stabbing moves millions of times. The movements had been inscribed into Zhuang Jian’s body and mind. When he stabbed the long spear forward, he had already integrated all his energy, aura, and strength into the move.

Lin Yao, who faced the charging long spear, felt that there was no way he could dodge.

However, he had no intention of dodging it. The moment he approached the extreme state, a ray of thunder light was pulled out by Lin Yao, followed by a loud clang.

The dazzling thunder light slashed fiercely toward Zhuang Jian like the whip of Thor and collided hard with his long spear.

Then… the battle was over.

The long sword collided with the long wooden spear, causing a fierce roar to echo in the field.

Amidst that terrifying sound, Zhuang Jian’s long spear shattered into pieces. Instantly, a dazzling thunder light hit Zhuang Jian directly as if he was in no man’s realm, sending him flying more than 10 meters away, spurting blood into the air.

The opponent had been crushed and completely defeated.

In terms of skills, Zhuang Jian, who had practiced since he was young, was in no way weaker than Lin Yao. In fact, Lin Yao, who was as fast as lightning and wind, felt as if he could not dodge Zhuang Jian’s attacks.

However, although Zhuang Jin was skillful, Lin Yao’s single sword move was so powerful that he could defeat ten martial artists. No matter how skillful the opponent was, he was able to unleash all his combat power and slash at the opponent in split seconds. Those who could block his move would survive, and those who could not would die.

Phew…

After sending Zhuang Jian flying away, Lin Yao got down on one knee in the arena, panting hard for breath. He had no strength to stand up.

At the same time, blood constantly flowed from Lin Yao’s seven orifices and his whole body. This was because his capillaries were broken. After breathing for a while, Lin Yao coughed a few times. He must have hurt his internal organs.

Lin Yao was almost half-dead after a single sword move.

However, no one dared to underestimate him. Zhuang Jian had used the profound meaning of a combat skill, yet he had still been sent flying away by Lin Yao, left with no way to resist his attacks. Everyone could tell how powerful Lin Yao was.

Lin Yao did not have to wait for long. Very soon, the personnel of the arena competition led him away for treatment.

When Lin Yao was taken away by the medical staff, the audience finally recovered from the shock and started to discuss what had just happened.

The battle had ended too quickly, and many people had no idea what had just happened.

Fortunately, there were commentators around.

Upon recovering from his surprise, E Longsheng noticed that everyone was puzzled and hurried to explain the situation to them.

“The winner of the battle has been decided. Final result: One Sword, aka Lin Yao, won.

“Although this battle was short, it was very exciting and they sparred for countless rounds throughout it.

“Student Zhuang Jian knew Lin Yao’s fighting style before the start of the battle, so he did not take the initiative to attack. Instead, he prepared himself to resist the first attack. Student Zhuang Jian did the right thing. This was the best way to deal with Student Lin Yao’s Lightning Flash. As for why Zhuang Jian failed, it’s not because he used the wrong strategy but because Lin Yao was too strong at that moment.”

“Too strong? What do you mean?”

E Longsheng continued to explain. “We all know that Student Lin Yao is an intermediate martial artist, while Student Zhuang Jian is an advanced martial artist. By right, Lin Yao is inferior to Zhuang Jian in terms of basic attributes. However, there are explosive skills within combat skills. The Blood Explosion of Iron-Blooded Battle and unlocking the military boxing gene lock are such combat skills. These combat skills can improve the basic attributes in a short time. Just now, Lin Yao broke his body’s shackles to achieve a physique higher than that of a warlord instantaneously. He was then able to make use of pure strength and speed to fight head-on and shatter the defense of Student Zhuang Jian, defeating him in seconds.”

“Warlord? Doesn’t this mean that only warlords are evenly matched with Lin Yao?”

“That’s not the case. A warlord always possesses such an ability, while Lin Yao’s power could only last briefly. Besides, after the release of power, it is inevitable that he will feel weakness in his body. The power-release was too terrifying this time, and I wonder if Lin Yao will still be able to fight tomorrow.”

“Is it that serious?”

“Of course. I ask for everyone to please pay more attention to their foundation. Don’t place too much hope on explosive power. After all, it is baseless.”

Soon, E Longsheng diverted everyone’s attention by talking about other topics.

After hearing the commentary, the ordinary audience no longer feared Lin Yao’s powerful release of power.

However, that only applied to ordinary people. The young elites who were about to face Lin Yao were scared stiff.

“So much for it being baseless. If the scoundrel keeps unleashing his power, no one in the youth team will be able to resist his attacks.”

“You must be exaggerating.”

This was a post on a local forum in Ninghai City. Lin Yao became fairly popular as soon as his battle ended, and someone had already analyzed Lin Yao’s situation. The remark that no one could resist his attacks was naturally mocked by many people.

“I agree with the previous post. Didn’t Teacher E say that this is only a temporary increase and can only last a few seconds?”

“That’s right. If we resist beyond these few seconds, we will be fine.”

Many posts followed. However, the person who had posted on the thread that there was no way to resist Lin Yao’s attacks soon started to rebut what the others said.

“Crap! We can naturally survive other people’s attacks, but that scoundrel One Sword only has one trick, the Thunderbolt Sword-Drawing Technique. This ability of his will determine one’s life or death. There is no way others can do anything within a few breaths, but it is enough for this guy to defeat the enemy.”

“Sigh… I am also here to participate in the competition. After watching One Sword’s match, I too feel that it is too difficult to resist his attacks. That single sword move was too fast. There is no way to dodge it, and we can only face it head-on. Even if the warlord state can only last for a few seconds, Student Lin Yao is still very powerful and ruthless. How can we resist a warlord’s full blow?”

“Damn it, it’d be okay if he had mere strength, but the most important characteristic of the Thunderbolt Sword-Drawing Technique is the perfect combination of strength and speed…”

“In fact, it’d still be fine if he only used the Thunderbolt Sword-Drawing Technique. We can also resist his attacks if he only temporarily advances to a warlord. However, if he combines the two, it will be a full blow at the warlord level. I have the feeling that even warlords might not be able to survive this move.”

“You must be exaggerating.”

“This is indeed the case.”

…

There was a lot of discussion on the Internet, and many of the contestants felt desperate. At present, many people were praying that Lin Yao, the daredevil who was willing to risk his life, was seriously injured and would not be able to fight again tomorrow.

Unfortunately, their prayers were not answered.

It was true that Lin Yao, who had unleashed that force, was injured. However, he had the Body of Light and the guardian holy seal to protect his body, so Lin Yao’s injury was not unbearable.

Of course, even if this was the case, ordinary people would still need to rest for 10 days to half a month. This was the consequence of unleashing extreme combat power.

However, Lin Yao’s Armored Body Of Light came with the Light Healing ability. As long as he had sufficient power of light, his body would recover quickly.

Although it was raining today and Lin Yao could not absorb the power of the sun, he had been half-naked for almost a whole day yesterday. The Sun God Pattern on his chest had stored a lot of solar power.

At that moment, the power of the sun was flowing continuously into Lin Yao’s body, repairing his injuries and healing his body.

‘The light energy stored in the Sun God Pattern is enough for me to recover and go back to normal. Although there will be no more light energy left in the Sun God Pattern and my Armored Body Of Light won’t be activated, I have no matches today. Tomorrow is a sunny day, so I don’t have to be afraid.’

Lin Yao lay comfortably on the bed, feeling the changes in his body as he got better.

He might be having a good time, but the medical staff looked at his body with envy.

“There is no need for you to come to the hospital in the future. You can recover by yourself from any injuries.”

“How can that be? I will recover faster in the hospital.”

This was not merely general recovery. Although the hospital was very small and would not waste resources to provide Lin Yao with the best recovery treatment, he was in a recovery chamber filled with healing fluid.

The light energy and the healing fluid worked to heal Lin Yao, and instead of spending the entire day in the hospital, he was able to recover within two hours. Lin Yao’s body was restored to its original condition even before the competition outside was over.

In fact, he still had some light energy left in his body and was able to activate his Body of Light.

However, due to insufficient energy, the Body of Light was only able to enhance the body’s basic attributes by 30%.

‘I feel really good.’

After cheering internally, Lin Yao sensed a sullen gaze directed at him.

He turned, looked around, and noticed that his opponent at the competition just now, Zhuang Jian, was still soaking in the nutrition chamber.

His opponent’s eyes were full of envy and jealousy. Lin Yao could not help but touch his nose. “Buddy, take care and recover soon. I’m leaving.”
