Chapter 68 Breaking ThroughTao Wancheng or Li Tao would have been defeated by similar attacks by then.
Was this prodigal son even better than the two stars of the Royal National Junior College?
The students who were witnessing the fight were also greatly shocked.
In their imagination, this battle should have been as easy as smas.h.i.+ng an ant for Shen Fei.
But the facts were speaking against this. Instead, the battle had reached a weird 50-50 deadlock.
It couldn"t be said that Shen Fei was weak—Shen Fei would have defeated any of the other students present with less than three strikes. But Lin Beichen, a prodigal son, was terribly tough. It"s a very weird thing to see him actually persisting up to that point.
Li Tao and Tao Wancheng cast a glance at each other.
They both felt that the situation was unreal.
Especially Tao Wancheng.
Obviously, he had been able to beat up Lin Beichen in the past.
But according to his current performance, Lin Beichen would be the one doing the beating.
“Was this sc.u.m deliberately hiding his strength?”
“Why did he do that?”
Time flew by.
Things began to develop in a very weird direction.
At this time, Shen Fei was finally unable to stand this situation.
“Nine Sky Starfall!”
He shouted and made the Mystery Energy in his body be run in a very strange way and at a very strange rate.
It was a secret fatal move of the Starfall Sword Skill.
“Let it all end.”
The Tai"e Sword in his hand suddenly emitted a bright crimson light. The temperature rose sharply within a three meter radius from the sword; a scorching heat was spreading from the Tai"e Sword, and the air around both sides of the blade rolled outward like transparent water waves.
Shen Fei chopped at Lin Beichen with the long sword.
Lin Beichen vaguely felt as if he were being targeted.
He could neither avoid nor retreat.
All opportunities and angles had been sealed off.
He had to confront the strike directly.
Was this the power of the martial skills that received the star rating?
He clenched his teeth and grasped the Sword of Morals with both hands. He lifted his sword up high in the sky to resist Shen Fei"s sword.
The two swords were fighting against each other.
The fight seemed to come to a sudden standstill.
After a moment of stillness, with a bam, there was a terrible blast which enveloped both fighters.
The strong blast blew away the sand and dust, making it spread wildly in all directions.
While exclaiming, the students present couldn"t help but step back, covering their faces with their sleeves and fending off the flying particles.
There was no more fighting in the field.
The sand also stopped flying.
Shen Fei had already sheathed his sword and retreated.
Lin Beichen still held his former pose, with the sword raised high to resist the Shen Fei"s previous attack.
A few strands of hair were burnt and curled.
Even his eyebrows seemed to have been burned.
His leather armor was also charred badly.
At first glance, Lin Beichen looked like a burnt wood carving.
The winner was evident.
The looks of Li Tao, Tao Wancheng and the other students seemed to be saying, “The winner is as we expected.”
Wu Xiaofang with a swollen face and Mu Xinyue hidden in the dark, both were pleased and shocked.
Was this the strength of the talented students at Shen Fei"s level?
Although Shen Fei"s final strike used the mysterious power of the secret fatal move, he unexpectedly released the Mystery Energy outside his body and developed it into a flame with the cultivation level of a warrior. Had he vaguely approached the level of a warrior expert?
At least, he would be a warrior above the eighth grade.
When they were in the Third College, they indeed had a very narrow view.
It turned out that the real top genius in the Cloudy Dream City was Shen Fei.
They had thought that Lin Beichen"s sudden rise, almost like a miracle, was quite amazing.
But compared with Shen Fei, Lin Beichen was as humble as a pile of sh*t.
Learning from a top genius, you would become an ordinary genius.
Learning from an ordinary genius, you would only become an ordinary person.
In the future, they still had to learn from the top geniuses such as Shen Fei in order to rise further.
As for Lin Beichen?
Bah!
Who was he?
“Senior Brother Lin…”
Yue Hongxiang exclaimed and rushed over to help Lin Beichen.
“Do not move.”
Ling Chen"s voice resounded. “He won"t die. Just watch.”
Yue Hongxiang froze.
At this time—
Crack!
Crack—Crack!!
It was like the sound of charred wood breaking slowly, continuously coming from Lin Beichen"s stiff body.
It was as if some kind of force were breaking his bones inch by inch.
Lin Beichen moved slowly, like a marionette.
Puff!
He opened his mouth and spat a gush of grimy blood.
Yue Hongxiang was surprised and about to rush over again.
Ling Chen pressed her palm on Yue Hongxiang"s shoulder, and said coldly, “Don"t move. Just watch.”
Before her voice had died away—a strong spirit had been released from Lin Beichen"s body, and the surrounding sand and dust was lifted up by an invisible airflow, forming a tiny vortex.
“Is this a breakthrough for me?”
He looked at his own palm in surprise.
After spitting that gush of grimy blood, he seemed to have directly expelled a lot of impurities from his body.
He felt very comfortable at the moment, as if his body had been thoroughly remolded.
An unprecedented amount of energy was surging inside his body.
This original thread of Mystery Energy had turned in to trickles that flowed through his veins, moisturizing meridians and flesh like water flowing in a dried riverbed.
The Mystery Energy had undergone a qualitative change.
At the same time, the world around him became extremely clear.
When he focused and tried to watch the world as carefully as possible, he could clearly see the exact shape, the number of edges, and the color of every grain of sand, as well as the gaps between every two grains of sand…
“Sh*t!
“Have my eyes turned into microscopes?”
Lin Beichen exclaimed in his heart.
But once he became distracted, the world returned to normal in an instant.
After looking around, he finally saw Shen Fei.
“Let"s fight again.”
Lin Beichen was so valiant that he rushed toward Shen Fei with his sword once again.
He really broke through.
It was an incredible breakthrough under the enormous pressure brought by Shen Fei.
The breakthrough was based on the practice according to the apps in the mobile phone.
Lin Beichen had thought that he only needed to cultivate with the mobile phone to live an easy life, without working hard and paying attention to the cultivation in real life.
But facts had proven him wrong.
The battles, cultivation, and hard work in real life would also bring him some gains.
Moreover, Lin Beichen also realized that compared with the steady progress brought by the cultivation through the mobile phone, sudden breakthroughs in real life could bring qualitative leaps.
“Clang!”
Shen Fei waved the sword.
The swords collided, leading to a chain of clangs.
Sparks were produced by the clashes; they s.h.i.+ned like fireworks.
The recoil was transmitted to Shen Fei"s wrist along the handle of the Tai"e Sword.
“Huh? His strength… has doubled.”
Shen Fei"s wrist felt numb.
He was greatly shocked by this.
Including the Big Dipper Falling strike, the speed and power of Lin Beichen"s attacks posed no threat to him before.
However, Shen Fei felt that Lin Beichen"s force had more than doubled in this new match.
