Battle Through the Heavens: Attribute Draw, Top-Tier Comprehension at the Start

As soon as the referee finished speaking, a bluish-green battle aura instantly enveloped Zhao Yuan.

Qin Yu stood still, watching Zhao Yuan's movements.

Zhao Yuan feinted, then suddenly accelerated, his right foot carrying a sharp gust of wind as he aimed straight for Qin Yu's left ribs.

That kick was fast and vicious, clearly intended to be a heavy blow.

Qin Yu dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding the attack. He lightly touched the ground with his foot, creating a distance of several body lengths between himself and Zhao Yuan.

"Is this the same strategy we're using...?"

Zhao Yuan was not surprised by Qin Yu's choice, but he did not let Qin Yu lead him by the nose. Instead, he maintained his own offensive rhythm.

Qin Yu dodged left and right, retreating repeatedly on the stage, showing no intention of making a move. A murmur of discussion immediately arose from the audience.

Why is that freshman always hiding?

"Nonsense, he's only a nine-star Dou Zhe, and his opponent is a two-star Dou Shi. What else can he do but dodge?"

"Then why bother fighting? Let's just admit defeat; it's a waste of time."

Hearing the sounds around him, Xiao Yu felt uneasy, after all, Qin Yu was facing a true Dou Shi level opponent.

If we were to do what we did with Luo Zheng before—first figuring out the opponent's background, then finding a weakness, and defeating him in one strike—it would probably be quite difficult.

"wrong…"

Xiao Yu's gaze was fixed on Qin Yu's retreating posture on the arena, and her brows furrowed slightly.

Qin Yu's posture doesn't seem like he's testing the waters.

"Damn it, how can he still keep his composure!"

Zhao Yuan attacked for more than a dozen rounds, but he couldn't even touch Qin Yu's clothes a few times, and his fighting spirit was quite depleted.

He abruptly stopped his attack, stood firmly in the center of the arena, and stared at Qin Yu a few meters away with a sinister look.

"Qin Yu, you don't actually think you can make me anxious and reveal my weakness by doing this, do you?"

Qin Yu did not answer. He lowered his eyes, as if sensing something. After a few breaths, he raised his head and looked at Zhao Yuan with a meaningful gaze.

Thank you.

"what?"

Qin Yu didn't explain, but simply moved his wrist slightly. Zhao Yuan looked at his expression, and the unease in his heart instantly reached its peak.

But the arrow was already on the bowstring, and it had to be released.

He gritted his teeth and lunged forward again, this time without holding back.

He unleashed his full wind-attribute battle qi, his right hand spread wide, his fingertips gathering sharp cyan battle qi, aiming straight for Qin Yu's chest.

"Splitting Wind Claw!"

Qin Yu stood still, motionless.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Yu's face turned pale. She opened her mouth, wanting to shout, but found that she couldn't even make a sound.

Just as Zhao Yuan's attack was about to hit, a thick, earthy-yellow halo suddenly appeared on Qin Yu's body, transforming into a semi-transparent brown armor that covered his torso, limbs, and shoulders.

The armor's surface was covered with patterns resembling layered mountains, each layer trembling slightly.

"Thousand-Peak Earth Dragon Armor?!"

Upon seeing this, Zhao Yuan's eyes widened in disbelief. Qin Yu had actually learned a high-level Xuan-rank fighting technique so quickly?

Zhao Yuan's attack landed heavily on Qin Yu's chest. The wind-attribute battle qi collided head-on with the earth-attribute battle qi, producing a dull thud.

The next moment, Zhao Yuan felt as if his fingers were stuck into a clump of mud and sand.

That powerful force surged from Qin Yu's armor in layers, dissolving, distributing, and weakening the force in his fist.

In the end, his all-out attack seemed to have crashed into a bottomless abyss, without even a ripple.

Qin Yu glanced down at the armor on his chest; several fine cracks had appeared on the semi-transparent brown light shield.

However, with the continuous infusion of his fighting spirit and the power of the earth, the cracks were healing at a visible speed.

"The defense is still a bit lacking, but it's enough."

"you…"

Zhao Yuan stared incredulously at the unmoving figure in front of him. His full-force attack hadn't even broken through the opponent's defense.

He roared, pulled back his right hand, and filled his left fist with fighting spirit, then slammed it towards Qin Yu's face again.

But this time, Qin Yu did not give him another chance.

Just before Zhao Yuan's fist landed, Qin Yu tapped his right foot and retreated.

After landing, Qin Yu slightly bent his knees, and his internal fighting spirit converged on his right hand and both feet.

Zhao Yuan sensed that Qin Yu was about to make a move, so he gave a low shout, and a layer of blue gauze robe suddenly appeared, protecting his body.

This is a battle qi veil that only a Battle Master can use. Although its defensive power is not as good as the battle qi armor of a Great Battle Master, it is enough to deal with attacks from Battle Warriors.

As long as we can defend against Qin Yu's attack, things will be much easier afterwards!

However, when Qin Yu's fist actually landed on him, Zhao Yuan realized he was wrong.

The aura-covered veil did prevent Qin Yu's fist from harming him immediately, but the subsequent burst of internal energy penetrated the veil and struck him squarely.

The next second, Zhao Yuan's body arced through the air and slammed heavily onto the ground below the arena.

"Qin Yu wins!"

Qin Yu stood at the edge of the arena and looked down at his palm.

The triple force of the Angry Qilin Fist, combined with the defense of the Thousand Peaks Earth Dragon Armor, and the agility of the Mountain Qilin Leap.

The combination of the three fighting techniques has already shown initial results.

However, the Thousand Peaks Earth Dragon Armor is only at the entry level; its defensive capabilities are insufficient, and it needs further refinement.

He removed his armor, jumped off the stage, and looked past the crowd to Xiao Yu, who was not far away.

The girl was still standing there, her expression having changed from fear to relief, her eyes slightly red.

She noticed Qin Yu's gaze, quickly turned her head away, and wiped her eyes with the back of her hand.

"Yu'er, your Qin Yu won! Aren't you going over there?"

Xue Ni moved closer to Xiao Yu and gently nudged her twice.

Zhao Yuan lay on the ground, the excruciating pain in his chest making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

His two companions rushed over and helped him up, their faces filled with disbelief.

"Brother Yuan, are you alright?"

Zhao Yuan did not answer. He raised his head with difficulty and looked at the back of the figure walking towards Xiao Yu on the arena. His lips trembled twice, but in the end he did not say anything.

A nine-star Dou Zhe (fighter) defeated a two-star Dou Shi (master).

He was clearly well-prepared, held the advantage in cultivation, and hadn't been led by the nose by the opponent's tactics...

How did we lose?

He didn't feel anything at the moment Qin Yu threw that punch.

But then, he felt an extremely heavy force pierce through his battle aura robe, blasting him off the stage.

His protective aura robe wasn't torn, but his body was still attacked.

Zhao Yuan gritted his teeth and, with the help of his companions, struggled to his feet, clutching his chest as he walked out of the crowd.

"you..."

Xiao Yu approached Qin Yu, her lips moved as if she wanted to say something but then stopped herself.

She wanted to ask him why he insisted on taking Zhao Yuan's punch head-on, but she swallowed the words back.

Qin Yu wanted to test the defensive capabilities of that new combat technique.

"Don't take such risks next time. What if you get hurt?"

Qin Yu didn't say much, and continued to pat his head.

It's three thousand.
