Bang!
After exchanging over a hundred blows, Qin Chuan finally landed a hit on his opponent, but Qin Chuan's attack power was indeed somewhat awkward given Feng Shao's current level.
Qin Chuan's attack power, especially his ordinary attacks, was absolutely formidable at the same level, even capable of instantly killing someone of the same level.
However, Feng Shao's level was too high, and he couldn't escape this suppression. This was the suppression of a lower level by a higher level ability.
Because of his Golden Divine Eye, Qin Chuan was generally not suppressed by someone a whole level stronger than him. When his level was lower, even two whole levels, or even Egg Brother's whole level, couldn't suppress him.
But now that his level was higher, he shouldn't be suppressed by someone a whole level, in principle. However, Qin Chuan was being suppressed by Feng Shao.
Therefore, Feng Shao's level had exceeded the Immortal Emperor realm.
Even so, Qin Chuan was becoming more and more familiar with his footwork, gaining more and more initiative, and feeling invincible.
Feng Shao felt like vomiting blood. He had never felt so frustrated. With such a high level of strength, he couldn't even touch the hem of his opponent's clothes.
It was like an elephant stepping on an ant; the force could crush a stone, but it couldn't kill an ant.
Qin Chuan was now completely absorbed in his footwork. No wonder they say speed is everything; mastering true speed means invincibility.
This is why the most valuable martial arts techniques aren't swordsmanship, saber techniques, or internal energy cultivation methods, but rather body movements and footwork—these are the most precious.
Now Qin Chuan truly understood this. He had known this before, but never felt it as acutely as he did now.
Qin Chuan was finding the fight increasingly enjoyable, like a fish in water, while Feng Shao was growing increasingly frustrated, even reaching a point of extreme anger.
If this continued, Feng Shao felt he was about to vomit blood and die. Nothing could be more disgusting than being far stronger than his opponent, yet being constantly suppressed.
Anyone would feel this way, given the vast difference in strength, but the result was utterly unbelievable.
The main reason was that Feng Shao's cultivation level had increased rapidly; his actual combat strength was only average among those at the same cultivation level.
Qin Chuan's cultivation level wasn't improving quickly, yet he could instantly kill beings of the same level. Their physical qualities were also similar, so strictly speaking, it wasn't that they were without a fighting chance—
that was in principle. In reality, the one with the advantage, the absolute one, was Feng Shao, due to the suppression of his cultivation level, which gave him a huge advantage.
However, Qin Chuan's ability to do this was mainly due to his Divine Path Step. Without it, without a doubt, Qin Chuan would have no power to resist.
Absolutely none!
This was the suppression of strength and the cruelty of power. But since there are rules and suppression, there are always those outside the rules, those who can break them.
The Divine Path Step is such a being; not only is it outside the rules and unaffected by their suppression, but it can even break them.
After a while, Qin Chuan took out a dagger.
The Dragon-Slaying Dagger!
This exquisitely crafted golden Dragon-Slaying Dagger was engraved with a lifelike divine dragon talisman.
Moreover, Qin Chuan had processed this Dragon-Slaying Dagger many times, forging and tempering it with the Divine Forging Hammer. The benefits were few, but they accumulated.
Gradually, it began to possess the feel of a divine weapon.
The Divine Sword Hammer is a divine weapon, mainly used for striking Yin and Yang and turning stone into gold; it's very useful, but it's not suitable for today's occasion.
Today, a weapon that can intimidate the opponent is needed.
The Dragon-Slaying Dagger's greatest feature is its sharpness; the blade used to slay dragons demonstrates its strength. Furthermore, with Qin Chuan's attack buff and the enhancement of the talisman,
this is a divine dragon talisman.
*Poof!*
Blood spurted out; Feng Shao's shoulder was pierced by the fatal stab. Qin Chuan didn't kill him; after all, this was a member of the Ge family, a powerful clan. Killing him would cause endless trouble, and besides, Qin Chuan didn't intend to kill him.
So, he taught him a lesson, spared his life, and given Feng Shao's personality, he wouldn't bother him again.
Qin Chuan disliked trouble.
*Poof! Poof!*
Blood splattered, and at this moment, Feng Shao calmed down, realizing that the opponent had already shown mercy; otherwise, he would already be dead.
"Stop, stop, I surrender!" Feng Shao helplessly surrendered, unwilling but gradually accepting it, because speed is the only way to win.
He was far inferior to his opponent in speed and agility, and with the opponent wielding a divine weapon, he was utterly helpless.
The only reason he was still alive was because his opponent had shown mercy.
Bitterness!
The young madman was now filled with bitterness, a bitterness that left him dazed and confused. He didn't know how he left, he left without saying a word.
The young madman's primary pursuit was martial arts, and he was extremely arrogant in it,
believing himself to be second to none. He didn't take others seriously, even those inferior to him, believing they would soon be left behind.
He had a good background, powerful cultivation, and limitless potential; a prodigy, the pride of countless people.
Before, Qin Chuan was so intimidated by him that he dared not come out and went into seclusion.
But now, it was truly ironic.
This feeling was worse than being slapped in the face; it made him unable to hold his head up in Chuzhou Academy, utterly ashamed to face anyone again.
Qin Chuan didn't stop him, letting him leave. Today's battle had given him a great surprise, because the martial arts exchange was coming soon, in less than a week.
Qin Chuan had initially worried about not being able to showcase his abilities at the Martial Arts Exchange Tournament, but now he could. The Divine Path Step, combined with his ability to slow his opponent, and the Dragon Slayer Dagger, was more than enough.
He needed to upgrade the Dragon Slayer Dagger's Divine Dragon Talisman to level sixteen in the next few days.
He also needed to study formations, hoping to make progress
within a week; a breakthrough would be ideal. However, Qin Chuan didn't hold out too much hope. Although the talisman breakthrough meant that the formation and formation divine positions shouldn't be delayed too long, a breakthrough within a week was unlikely.
Regardless, the talisman breakthrough opened the door to the Immortal Emperor Realm, and he was certain he could enter the Immortal Emperor Realm within three months.
The news spread like wildfire the next day.
"Mad Young Master is no match for Qin Chuan. Mad Young Master has truly gone mad now."
"Mad Young Master has gone into seclusion. This time, Mad Young Master has been provoked."
"What's going on? Mad Young Master can't beat Qin Chuan?"
"I can't believe it, but the truth is the truth. There are so many monsters and beasts these days!"
"A true master doesn't reveal his abilities. If Mad Young Master hadn't pushed him so hard, Qin Chuan would never have shown himself. This is true profound strength. This mentality is invincible."
...
Furthermore, many people doubted the truth of the matter, saying they didn't believe what they had heard at all.
Luo Hua couldn't believe that Qin Chuan had actually won, and so easily at that, but she could tell that Qin Chuan's victory lay in his footwork and speed.
