Free Web NovelChapter 681: Chapter 679: Surrender?
On the mountaintop, Jin Ze was wreathed in lightning. He resembled a Thunder God, looking down upon the world as he stared at Lin Xuan, gritting his teeth. "Kid, so what if you can fight across eight realms? I now possess the combat power of a Three-Star Grandmaster, and with my Thunder Shock Body, defeating you will be as easy as turning over my hand."
Lin Xuan hadn’t expected his opponent’s strength to increase as well. But so what? He shook his head. "It’s useless. I have a Quasi-Saint Body. Even if your power has been boosted to the Three-Star Grandmaster Realm, you’re still no match for me."
"Nonsense! You can’t possibly have a Quasi-Saint Body!" Jin Ze took a step forward, and the Thunder Power on his body erupted, surging out like a sea of thunder.
The entire mountaintop shook violently. Cracks spiderwebbed across the ground, and the surrounding boulders instantly tumbled down the slopes. Under this immense force, Zisu and the other two new geniuses retreated continuously.
The sea of thunder lunged at Lin Xuan, but he remained unafraid. Taking a step forward, a dragon’s roar echoed from within him. The aura of the Dragon Dao erupted from his body, sweeping forward like a tornado. In an instant, it collided with the sea of thunder. The two forces clashed, producing a deafening roar that seemed to tear the very void apart.
The shockwave forced Zisu and the others to retreat again and again. They now somewhat regretted rushing to the mountaintop so early. These two were simply monsters; they couldn’t even withstand the auras emanating from them. Having already retreated to the very edge of the summit, they stared at the battlefield ahead in horror.
Down below, the spectators exclaimed in surprise. Whether senior students, freshmen, or even the elders, everyone held their breath as they looked up at the mountaintop. They knew the coming battle would decide who would be this year’s "Rookie King."
Who will win?
The sea of thunder and the tornado clashed, locked in a stalemate. But at that moment, Jin Ze moved. His body flickered, and like a bolt of lightning, he shot forward. In an instant, he was before Lin Xuan, striking out fiercely with his palm once again.
Thunderous Palm!
This palm descended from the sky, carrying a Destructive Power as it aimed for Lin Xuan.
At the same time, Lin Xuan also made his move.
World-Ending Flood Dragon Fist!
He threw a punch toward the sky, and the two forces clashed once more. Another deafening boom echoed out as the entire mountaintop shook violently. The two were once again evenly matched.
Seeing this, lightning flared in Jin Ze’s eyes. He pushed his Golden Thunder Body to its absolute limit, and the Spirit of the Thunder Crane seemed to fuse completely into his Physique, enhancing the power of his Thunderous Palm. It directly overpowered the Serpent Fist. The phantom of the serpent collapsed, and Lin Xuan’s own fist was knocked back.
"Hahahaha!" Jin Ze threw his head back and laughed. "Did you see that, kid? This is my true power! You are no match for me!"
Jin Ze looked down on Lin Xuan from above. "Surrender obediently," he said coldly. "Otherwise, don’t blame me for being merciless."
As he finished speaking, the Thunder Power on his body erupted once more. He looked like a Thunder God descended, his might shaking the four corners of the world.
So what if this Lin Xuan is a Dragon Warrior? So what if he can fight across eight realms? He’s still not my match! This time, I will trample him under my feet in front of everyone. I will make this arrogant bastard submit to me! I will let everyone know that I, Jin Ze, am the Rookie King! The strongest genius!
Zisu and the others trembled. Before this power, they felt the urge to kneel.
He’s too strong. The power radiating from Jin Ze is simply too strong!
The spectators down below gasped.
"Damn, is that Jin Ze’s power? It’s terrifyingly strong!"
"It looks like Jin Ze has the upper hand!"
"That guy, Lin Xuan, is going to lose."
"Yeah, even his Fist Technique is being suppressed. He’s no match for Jin Ze."
The crowd was abuzz with exclamations.
A cold smirk touched Gu Xinghe’s lips. I knew it would turn out this way. How could that Lin Xuan possibly win?
Elder Lei also let out a hearty laugh. My disciple is truly invincible.
"Not good, Young Master Lin is in danger!" Lu Jiu’s expression changed drastically. Ning Xue’s heart leaped into her throat.
"It’s all over, kid!" On the mountaintop, Jin Ze snorted coldly and delivered another palm strike. His Thunder Power erupted completely, and the Destructive Power once again enveloped Lin Xuan.
It seemed the outcome was decided; the kid was going to lose.
As the crowd gasped, Gu Xinghe laughed. "He won."
But the next moment, he froze. He saw that Lin Xuan had not fallen.
"How is that possible?!" he exclaimed.
The others all looked as well, staring at the scene on the mountaintop, equally stunned.
On the mountaintop, Jin Ze’s face darkened. He had thought that palm strike would finish his opponent for good, but unexpectedly, the kid had blocked it again. His Thunder Palm had stopped less than a meter away from Lin Xuan, held in place by what felt like an invisible force.
"Hmph. Still have some fight left in you?" Jin Ze snorted coldly. So what? I refuse to believe you can block this!
"Thunder Gold Seal!" Jin Ze roared, forming a seal with his hands. The lightning on his body flared, rapidly condensing in the air into a golden sigil. An even more terrifying Destructive Power erupted from it, threatening to annihilate heaven and earth.
"Suppression!" Jin Ze bellowed. With a wave of his hand, the golden Thunder Seal plummeted down. In the blink of an eye, it was above Lin Xuan’s head, pressing down with immense force like a golden mountain of lightning descending from the heavens.
At the edge of the mountaintop, the faces of Zisu and the other two turned pale. They sensed a fatal crisis from that golden sigil.
It’s terrifying... even more terrifying than the Thunderous Palm. This time, that Lin Xuan probably can’t block it.
Down below, the many spectators gasped when they witnessed this scene.
"Heavens! What kind of technique is that?"
"I can feel its destructive power even from this far away!"
"Just imagine the pressure Lin Xuan must be under, bearing the brunt of that attack."
Gu Xinghe laughed heartily. "That is the Thunder Gold Seal, an Ultimate Skill of the Golden Thunder family! Its power is infinite. Once unleashed, it can suppress and destroy anything. If that kid doesn’t admit defeat now, he’ll be annihilated!"
Hearing this, the surrounding disciples felt their scalps tingle. So that’s an Ultimate Skill of the Golden Thunder family... No wonder it’s so terrifying.
"Not good!" Lu Jiu’s expression changed drastically. "Young Master Lin is in danger!"
Ning Xue cried out in alarm, "Lin Xuan, don’t try to block it head-on! Just admit defeat!"
Lu Jiu added desperately, "Yeah, Young Master Lin! It’s no shame to admit defeat! Being able to fight across eight realms is already heaven-defying! Don’t risk your life over this! You’re still young; there will be other chances in the future!"
The two of them desperately tried to persuade him, not wanting to see Lin Xuan come to any harm.
The others in the crowd also began to discuss the situation.
"Will the kid admit defeat?"
"He’d better. He should use a Life-Saving Talisman."
"He can’t possibly block that attack. Resisting it head-on means certain death."
Everyone thought Lin Xuan would admit defeat. But instead, Lin Xuan simply reached out his hand, grasping toward the sky.
"What?!"
"The kid didn’t surrender!"
"He’s still trying to fight back!"
"He’s lost his mind!"
"Does he really think that just because he has a Quasi-Saint Body, he can block that with his bare hands?"
"He’s courting death!"
