The force of the spearhead easily deflected the throwing knife that Xia Zhihong had fired, making Xia Zhihong's face turn extremely ugly as he faced the spearhead.
Almost the instant the throwing knife was deflected, the spearhead was close to his body.
He now has only two choices: either surrender immediately, in which case the powerful referee can instantly help him block the attack, or endure the blow. As for whether he will have the strength to stand up and fight again after enduring the blow, that's uncertain; he might very well be transferred directly to the hospital.
The audience was stunned by Kong Lei's thunderous attack. For a moment, almost everyone thought that Kong Lei was going to finish off Xia Zhihong and end the fight.
Just then, Xia Zhihong's golden supernatural power surged into his hands like a pulse, and then spread out instantly. The gun tip, which was about to penetrate his chest, bent and stopped abruptly just one millimeter away from his chest, almost piercing through his body.
After he stopped, no matter how much force Kong Lei used, he couldn't get him to go any further.
Everyone in the room was shocked to see this. Who would have thought that Xia Zhihong would actually withstand this attack?
Kong Lei, standing in front of him, was also taken aback. The whirlwind ability he used to unleash the spear was already the most powerful shot he had ever made. He had received a notice from the school while in the preparation room that losing three matches in a row was too embarrassing. He was determined to defeat his opponent as quickly as possible in the next match and win back Lingnan City's honor.
Therefore, he was prepared to crush his opponent as soon as he entered the arena, but who would have thought that his shot would actually be blocked.
Damn it!
Kong Lei cursed inwardly, then spun the gun around and flicked it, slamming it down on Xia Zhihong's chest with a thud.
Although the spearhead of Kong Lei's spear was made of metal, the sound of the spear was made of wood. Therefore, Xia Zhihong's metal superpower had no way to control the spear.
Kong Lei was six levels higher than Xia Zhihong, and his strength was also extremely great. Although only the shaft of the gun hit Xia Zhihong, it still sent him flying forty or fifty steps.
Xia Zhihong crashed heavily to the ground, but before he could even stand up, Kong Lei burst forward, turning his spear and aiming straight for Xia Zhihong's neck.
If there were no obstruction, this shot would have been enough to sever his neck.
Xia Zhihong's expression changed drastically. He used his metal powers again, causing the gun tip to veer off course, but the force remained undiminished.
After all, he was only level fourteen, and his ability to control metal was still too poor.
His face turned extremely pale. Was he really going to have his head chopped off by Kong Lei?
The audience gasped, and many even stood up.
But just as the spearhead was about to hit his neck, it suddenly stopped.
A terrifying gust of wind blew along the gun barrel toward Xia Zhihong, causing his hair and clothes to roll backward.
Kong Lei stopped, gripping the gun.
"You should surrender. The difference in strength between us is too great. I can crush you."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Kong Lei stopped at the last moment; otherwise, Xia Zhihong would probably have suffered a ruptured artery and died on the spot.
Although there are very powerful light-elemental users on the sidelines ready to save people at any time, it is still difficult to save them if the injuries are too severe.
Kong Lei's decision to stop thrusting the gun at the last moment earned him cheers from the audience.
"Kong Lei!"
"Kong Lei!"
"Kong Lei!"
Everyone was shouting Kong Lei's name; the entire venue was filled with deafening cheers.
Although Kong Lei didn't have a particularly impressive performance in his first match, everyone was still very excited, since his overwhelming dominance was enough.
Xia Zhihong felt his clothes were soaked with sweat. He grabbed Kong Lei's hand, stood up, raised his hand to the referee to indicate that he had given up, and slowly walked off the stage.
Watching Xia Zhihong's departing figure, Kong Lei's expression was not good. His orders were to defeat the enemy in one strike and leave gracefully, but in the end, he wasted a little more time. It was neither graceful nor handsome enough. Although he gained a lot of face, he didn't know if the teachers and the school were satisfied.
After the referee announced his victory, he slowly turned around and returned to his preparation room.
When Xia Zhihong returned to the preparation room, Chen Feng and the others were already waiting for him. They went up and hugged Xia Zhihong, and then let him sit down and rest.
"You've done a very good job. I didn't expect your gold ability to be this strong."
"Stop teasing me, I couldn't even withstand one of his moves," Xia Zhihong said with a wry smile. "This guy is terrifying. He's already a level 20 ability user. Did you guys feel it in the preparation room?"
"We felt it." Chen Feng and the others nodded. Although the preparation room was far from the central arena, and sometimes they had to watch the matches through a screen in the preparation room, the entire stadium was actually under tight security. Apart from the ability users on the central arena who could release their abilities, people in other places were not allowed to release their own abilities. Therefore, they could feel the ability fluctuations on the arena and thus accurately judge that Kong Lei was already a level 20 ability user.
"This guy is simply outrageous. I feel that even if you, Chen Feng, were to play, you might not be a match for him."
