How Do We Play If This Boss Isn't Nerfed?-Chapter 65 - 63: Breakthrough
Just being watched by those calm, emotionless eyes made Jiang Feng feel a tremor of fear that originated from the depths of his soul!
The pride from his long, undefeated streak was shattered in an instant!
He understood at once.
Lin Ye was giving him a taste of his own medicine!
Just like how he had toyed with Liao Donglai before!
Only when he had grown completely bored and lost all patience did he finally bare his true, despair-inducing fangs!
Except this time, the one being toyed with was him.
"You... you’re courting death!!"
The extreme humiliation instantly transformed into a towering rage that consumed Jiang Feng’s reason!
He let out a beast-like roar and, holding his spear in his left hand, charged at Lin Ye once more!
However, what met him was Lin Ye’s still-composed and powerful aura.
Faced with Jiang Feng’s increasingly distorted, even frenzied, assault,
Lin Ye couldn’t even be bothered to block.
His body weaved through the afterimages of the spear like a phantom.
For a long time now, under Chen Meng’s hellish spear-fighting regimen, Lin Ye had ended every single day covered in bruises, gritting his teeth against excruciating pain.
They were both using spears.
But in terms of strength, speed, or even the so-called intent behind his spear technique, Jiang Feng was worlds apart from Chen Meng.
The fact that the man before him was also ruled by his emotions only made Lin Ye sneer in disdain.
Dodging one of Jiang Feng’s thrusts, Lin Ye sidestepped as if teleporting, then swung his alloy staff in a diagonal sweep, viciously striking him under the ribs!
Jiang Feng’s forward charge faltered, and the butt of Lin Ye’s staff, moving like a shadow, smashed heavily into his chest!
BAM!
BAM!
BAM!
Each blow was heavier than the last!
It was a one-sided, utterly predictable beatdown.
Like an adult toying with a toddler who had just learned to walk.
Lin Ye’s every dodge and weave was flawless, and all of Jiang Feng’s attacks could only graze fruitlessly past the corner of his clothes.
Meanwhile, every strike from Lin Ye’s staff landed with pinpoint accuracy on the most glaring openings and vulnerable points on Jiang Feng’s body!
Everyone was stunned.
They had expected an earth-shattering clash between a dragon and a tiger.
They never thought it would end up as a dull, one-sided slaughter.
Another blow from the staff came crashing down.
Heavy and swift, it was a strike devoid of any flourish.
Jiang Feng’s body, like a broken sack, was smashed to the ground by the immense force, and the alloy floor of the arena let out a dull thud.
Lin Ye looked down on him.
In those eyes, there was none of the joy of victory Jiang Feng had imagined, nor was there the pleasure of a cat toying with a mouse.
There was only pure, unadulterated annoyance.
Jiang Feng lay prone on the ground, coughing up a mouthful of bloody foam. He struggled to raise his head.
His gaze met Lin Ye’s.
He understood.
It was the kind of look one would give a pile of worthless trash on the side of the road.
That look, more than any vicious curse or cruel tactic, pierced his heart and crushed his dignity!
Several months ago, he had seen a similar coldness in the eyes of an opponent who had effortlessly defeated him.
That person’s face, that person’s attitude.
They had become the inner demon that had weighed heavily on his heart for all these months.
"AHHH—!!!"
A completely inhuman roar, filled with savagery and madness, was forced from Jiang Feng’s throat!
Pushing himself up with his arms, he shakily got back to his feet.
Lin Ye’s gaze narrowed slightly.
The data above Jiang Feng’s head had changed.
The characters for "LV11" flickered, then suddenly jumped!
LV12!
’A mid-battle breakthrough?’
’The same kind of Martial Arts Spirituality as Xiong Qihong?’
No.
Lin Ye instantly dismissed that guess.
Although Jiang Feng’s aura had surged, it was chaotic, frenzied, and full of impurities.
Drawing on his previous experience fighting Lone Wolf,
Lin Ye understood in an instant.
’He... used a drug.’
In the next moment, the last shred of respect Lin Ye had for this fight completely vanished from his eyes.
"To think, the top student in the entire school."
"Turned out to be trash like you."
Lin Ye spoke, his voice calm yet filled with undisguised disgust.
Jiang Feng’s reason was completely incinerated by those words. He transformed into a blurry, blood-red shadow, and his Black Scale Dragon Tooth Spear let out a piercing shriek as he violently lunged at Lin Ye again!
Having taken a forbidden drug, his speed and power had both climbed to a whole new level!
Lin Ye’s "Overwhelm" mechanic was nullified because Jiang Feng had used a special method to reach the same level, LV12.
He no longer possessed that overwhelming advantage.
Nor did he have the luxury of toying with his opponent at will.
But that was all.
Faced with Jiang Feng’s frenzied, all-or-nothing lunge that completely abandoned defense, Lin Ye did not retreat either.
The battle between the two instantly devolved into the most primitive, most brutal exchange of attacks!
On the arena stage, the clang of metal on metal was as dense as a torrential downpour!
The black spear’s afterimages and the seemingly unremarkable staff’s shadow clashed wildly within inches of each other. Every impact erupted with a shower of blinding sparks and a visible shockwave!
Their figures moved so fast they blurred into two entangled tornadoes, sweeping wildly across the arena and letting out a series of sonic booms that tore through the air!
The students below the stage were already dumbstruck.
Their minds were completely unable to process the battle before them, which had far surpassed the limits of their comprehension.
To them, this was a battle between gods.
Unconsciously, all the spectators began to feel as if they were hallucinating.
They discovered that at some point, Lin Ye’s alloy staff seemed to have actually grown an invisible, sharp spear tip.
It had transformed into a peerless, divine spear shimmering with silver light, engaging in the fiercest clash with the Black-Scaled Dragon Fang in Jiang Feng’s hands!
Lin Ye’s mind was clearer and more serene than ever before.
In his mind, every swing of his staff from over the years,
Every battle.
Every thrust of his spear.
All the insights, all the experience, all the techniques...
Under the pressure of Jiang Feng’s torrential assault, they all began to be smelted, compressed, and integrated at an unprecedented speed!
All the fragments were gradually converging.
The staff in Lin Ye’s hands was no longer just a staff.
In the next instant, Lin Ye felt as if he had broken through a thick fog.
It was as if he had arrived in a whole new world.
Everything began to point toward a single destination.
And that was the ultimate—
Piercing!
Facing another one of Jiang Feng’s powerful, heavy thrusts that could shatter stone, flames seemed to ignite in Lin Ye’s eyes.
A move that had never appeared in the Staff Skill forms he practiced,
nor was it a move from the Cloud-Piercing Army-Breaking Spear Skill that Chen Meng had taught him,
was executed by Lin Ye as if it were the most natural thing in the world!
His alloy staff, following a trajectory that completely defied the laws of physics, suddenly dipped, spun, and then thrust upward!
The body of the staff seemed to have condensed the force of a thousand mountains!
