Chapter 190 - 102: Subduing the Entire Training Camp on the First Day
Faced with the powerful, heavy slash,
Lin Yi’s gaze was as calm as still water.
He didn’t even take half a step back. With a flick of his wrist, the long spear sprang up as if it had a life of its own, its shaft tracing a precise arc.
CLANG!!!
A deafening screech of metal on metal exploded outward.
A shockwave radiated out from the two of them, sending ripples across the Energy Shield.
Li Hao felt an immense force travel up from his blade, jarring his hand. His footing grew unsteady, and he was forced back several steps—STOMP, STOMP, STOMP—before he barely managed to stabilize himself.
In contrast, Lin Yi stood as firm as a mountain, not moving an inch.
Only the muscles in the arm holding the spear rippled slightly.
"Good! You truly are a Powerful Martial Artist who has gone through torso bone Refinement!" The fierce glint in Li Hao’s eyes intensified. Far from being afraid, he licked his lips, his fighting spirit growing even wilder. "Plenty of strength! Let’s see how many hits you can take!"
He roared and charged again, his momentum even more ferocious than before!
A trace of surprise also flashed through Lin Yi’s mind.
’That last spear thrust was just a probe. But the power Li Hao just unleashed far exceeds the limits of a normal Second-Grade Martial Artist.’
’That surge of Qi and Blood definitely broke the 600-point mark!’
’This isn’t the level a Second-Grade Martial Artist should have!’
’Could this Giant Stone Spiritual Essence amplify his Qi and Blood?’ Lin Yi wondered.
Just as Li Hao swung his saber for a second time, the blade about to strike home!
Lin Yi moved!
The spear struck like a viper!
SHING!
The spear tip didn’t meet the blade head-on. Instead, it shot out like lightning from an extremely tricky angle, striking the side of Li Hao’s blade with pinpoint accuracy at its point of least resistance.
VMMMM!
Li Hao felt the momentum of his blade shift. The immense force behind his attack vanished as if a clay ox dropped into the sea, leaving him wide open in an instant!
CRACK!
Lin Yi flipped his wrist, and the spear became a vicious blur, like a staff. It whistled through the air with a dull thud before viciously striking Li Hao in the ribs!
BANG!
As if struck by a sledgehammer, Li Hao was sent flying sideways. He tumbled wretchedly across the arena for five or six meters before skidding to a halt, kicking up a cloud of dust.
However, instead of pain, a nearly maniacal, excited grin spread across Li Hao’s face.
He leaped to his feet, beat his chest, and roared:
"Lin Yi! I’ve figured you out! Your attacks can’t break my ’Immovable Mountain’! It’s not even enough to scratch an itch! But if I land one hit on you, you’re going down! Hahaha!"
Lin Yi watched the crazed Li Hao.
A flicker of admiration did cross his eyes.
Of course, this admiration wasn’t for Li Hao himself.
It was for the miraculous "Giant Stone Spiritual Essence" inside his body.
’What an incredible Giant Stone Spiritual Essence!’ Lin Yi marveled internally. ’Not only does it drastically increase the total amount of Qi and Blood, but it also grants the body a terrifying, rock-like defense. He’s like an unkillable monster!’
’If only I could have it, too!’
The thought was fleeting.
Lin Yi’s gaze immediately turned cold and sharp.
’Li Hao himself?’
’Utter trash!’

’The guy has bet everything on the talent from his Spiritual Essence.’
’His own Martial Skills and Cultivation Level are a complete mess.’
’That pathetic level of Sword Skill is like a child playing with a blade in my eyes—so crude it’s appalling.’
’It’s painful to watch. I can’t even bear to look!’
’If Li Hao had just put in a bit more effort into his Sword Skill and reached the ’Subtlety’ realm, his threat level would multiply, given the physique granted by this "Giant Stone" Spiritual Essence!’
’But as he is now?’
’I’ve already figured out his strengths and weaknesses.’
’He’s just a waste of talent who relies on an external object.’
Lin Yi’s eyes narrowed, his killing intent decisive:
’It’s over!’
Just as Li Hao, laughing maniacally, charged forward like an out-of-control chariot for the third time!
Lin Yi’s right arm suddenly tensed!
VMMMM!
The Qi and Blood in his arm surged like a bursting river, roaring as it flowed. His muscles and fascia visibly contracted, stacking layer upon layer!
First charge! Second! Third!
A triple charge, complete in an instant!
The long spear became a black bolt of lightning, tearing through the air!
It struck Li Hao’s chest once again!
BOOM!
A terrifying force, three times greater than before, erupted from the spear’s shaft!
But that was only the beginning!
The instant the spear shaft touched the skin of Li Hao’s chest—where the earthy-yellow glow was thickest—
Wave Intent! Activate!
A peculiar oscillating force, like a surging undercurrent, transmitted through the spear!
This force didn’t just stay on the surface. Like the most cunning of vipers, it bypassed Li Hao’s rock-hard skin and enhanced muscles and bones. It penetrated layer by layer, wave after surging wave, oscillating and transmitting its power ever deeper!
SQUELCH! SQUELCH!
It was as if invisible sledgehammers were pummeling him from the inside!
The maniacal laugh on Li Hao’s face froze instantly, his eyes bulging from their sockets!
Under the high-frequency, fatal shockwaves, the internal organs he was so proud of—his kidneys, liver, and spleen, all enhanced by the Spiritual Essence—were pulverized inch by inch, like tofu thrown into a blender!
His internal organs were instantly shredded!
Copious amounts of blood gushed madly from his ruptured vessels!
"Gaaah!!!"
A short, shrill scream, barely human, was forced from Li Hao’s throat.
SPURT!
Like a broken kite with its string cut, he went flying, a fountain of blood spewing from his mouth, tracing a startling crimson arc through the air!
BOOM!!!
Li Hao’s body slammed viciously into the shimmering blue Energy Shield at the edge of the arena, creating a heart-stopping thud.
The barrier of light flickered violently a few times.
His body then slid down the shield like a pile of sludge and crumpled to the ground. His head lolled to one side as he lost consciousness completely. Only his body continued to twitch uncontrollably as a pool of crimson blood quickly spread out beneath him.
’I only used a triple charge combined with Wave Intent’s internal vibrations... He’s probably not completely dead, right?’
