After seemingly being evenly matched in one blow, Zhang Lin on the opposite side excitedly said, "Chen Xuedi, pay attention, I'm going to be serious."

As he spoke, golden sword energy suddenly burst out from the sword in Zhang Lin's hand. Under the powerful recoil force, the whole person flew back more than ten meters, and then he held the sword with both hands and prepared to charge.

Chen Chu stood still with his halberd in hand and said in a deep voice, "Come on."

"Eight parts rotate!"

In an instant, Zhang Lin turned into a golden afterimage and shot out. The huge sword in his hand was emitting a one-meter-long golden sword energy, which was extremely sharp.

Wherever it passed, it cut the air into a three-meter-wide and more than ten-meter-long black flat crack. It was a strange phenomenon that the air was instantly chopped into a vacuum.

However, even though Zhang Lin's sword was more powerful and faster, and he changed his moves more than a dozen times in an instant when approaching, he was still accurately blocked by Chen Chu's halberd.

Boom! The sword that cleaved the air once again collided with the Eight Desolate Battle Halberd, unleashing an even more violent and terrifying impact.

When practitioners fight, they not only hack and slash with swords and sticks, they also use powerful Zhenwu fighting skills.

In the violent impact caused by the explosion of the dragon elephant's true power, Zhang Lin's sword retreated at the touch, and his figure flashed and turned into three figures appearing around Chen Chu, with the same aura and even appearance.

The three Zhang Lins were waving their swords in their hands, with the sword energy shining, like golden flashes tearing through everything and slashing towards Chen Chu.

Phantom, mirror image! Chen Chu's eyes remained unmoved, and he casually swept his halberd in the direction of his sight, and casually blocked the sword coming from the left with his side blade.

Boom! Instantly, a violent true power explosion shock wave erupted, turning into a strong wind that blew away the other two figures.

"Good!" Zhang Lin, whose Phantom Slash was revealed, looked even more excited, while Chen Chu, who didn't have much power, looked calm.

Clang clang clang! Zhang Lin, who was using the secret method of explosive speed, was moving at an astonishing speed. He used a body movement similar to the Eight Diagrams and attacked Chen Chu frantically with golden afterimages.

The blade in his hand flashed like lightning, and the huge sword was incredibly powerful at subsonic speed.

Chen Chu was not weak either. He stood still with the black and red light of the halberd in his hand flickering. He used stabbing, chopping, sweeping, slashing, and locking moves at will to block all attacks.

It's totally impossible to tell that he is a person who has only practiced halberd techniques for a few days, but a halberd master who has been practicing for ten years.

In particular, although Chen Chu was standing in the same place, his attack speed was even faster. At close range, the halberd in his hand was swung at almost the speed of sound, and every time the halberd was slashed horizontally, a sonic boom would occur.

That was the thunder and wind that exploded the air.

Every time the golden sword light and the black and red halberd light collide, a powerful impact will erupt, true energy will overflow, and strong winds will howl.

From time to time, a golden sword energy would fall on the ground, tearing the earth into a crack several meters long, and the black and red halberd light would explode when it fell to the ground.

For a moment, sand and rocks flew everywhere within a radius of dozens of meters, and the earth shook, like two violent beasts.

Such a loud noise made Tang Tian and the other three in the distance look solemn.

But they didn't know that Chen Chu didn't burst out much power at this time. He was observing the strength of the dragon elephant domineering and the sword energy of the late advanced skills, as well as his body movements and combat skills.

This time, he challenged not for the sake of any ranking, but to estimate his own strength through Zhang Lin, the second-year genius, so as to know himself and his enemy.

At this moment, Chen Chu, who had been on the defensive, suddenly let out a long roar. In an instant, the muscles in his arms swelled, a terrifying force burst out, and the spear swept across.

boom!

In an instant, a strong wind howled, and smoke and dust that rolled for dozens of meters instantly dissipated under the black and red circular wind. At the same time, a golden figure burst out.

Bang! Zhang Lin, whose halberd was hit by Chen Chu, flew dozens of meters across the ground. He still involuntarily retreated two meters before stopping.

“What a strong force.”

Looking at Chen Chu, who was standing dozens of meters away with a halberd in his hand, standing in the center of the ruined land without moving, Zhang Linlin took a deep breath and his expression became serious.

From the contempt at the beginning to the excitement after trying one move, and then to the unmoved state after fighting for hundreds of moves, Zhang Lin knew that he might be in trouble today.

This first-grade genius is very strong, so strong that he is like a monster.

It seems that we can't hold back anymore.

Thinking of this, Zhang Lin's aura surged again, and dazzling golden light gathered on the sword in his hand. In an instant, the sword energy surged to two meters.

"Eight-arm wheel slash!"

Zhang Lin let out a long roar, and was instantly surrounded by golden sword lights. Those golden lights looked like pairs of golden arms, and also like sword energy.

The materialized golden sword energy tore through the air covering an area of ​​more than ten meters, tearing cracks on the ground with him as the center, like an eight-armed Vajra suppressing everything.

boom!

Zhang Lin moved with a loud bang, and rushed towards Chen Chu like an eight-armed Vajra that could destroy everything. Wherever he passed, sand and rocks flew, and the ground was plowed over.

Suddenly, the golden sword energy around him merged with the sword in his hand. The sword energy surged, forming a faster and more terrifying golden sword light that tore through the earth and slashed towards Chen Chu.

The eight arms rotate, releasing eight sword energies that merge into one, instantly increasing the power of the sword energy several times.

He once used this move to severely injure a level five early mutant beast with one blow, and finally killed it easily with the help of his teammates.

Looking at the golden sword energy that almost shattered the earth, Chen Chu's body moved suddenly, and wisps of black and red light wrapped around the Eight Desolations Halberd in his hand, like a roaring demon dragon.

Boom! The violent black and red true power at the moment of contact was like a missile explosion, irrational, and the terrible explosion was mixed with countless sharp halberds.

Although the impact of the true power explosion was crushed by the eight-arm rotating sword light, it also made the solid and sharp pure golden sword light unstable and collapsed.

Amid the violent turbulent energy, the halberd flew across the sky and landed on the sword as wide as a door panel with unrivaled domineering power.

In an instant, Zhang Lin's face changed. He felt a terrifying force like a mountain collapse and the earth splitting. He was sent flying backwards with a bang.

Because of his extremely fast speed, Zhang Lin was accompanied by a string of white transparent sonic boom shock waves. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the woods more than a hundred meters away, knocking down many large trees.

Suddenly the mountains and forests shook, and large tracts of trees collapsed.

The sudden change made Tang Tian and the other three in the distance all stunned and stood there in a daze.

What happened? They seemed to have seen Zhang Lin flying out just now! !

But how is this possible? Weren't the two men fighting evenly matched before? How come Zhang Lin, who used his fighting skills to unleash even greater power, was suddenly blown away?

The four of them looked at the domineering figure standing in the distance holding a halberd, with black and red light wrapped around his body, and shock gradually appeared on their faces. This freshman was so strong, Zhang Lin might lose.

“Hahahaha…come again!”

Accompanied by loud laughter, Zhang Lin burst out from the woods with dazzling golden light emitting from his whole body. Because his speed was so fast, he almost left a trail of golden light and shadows behind him.

In addition to the sudden increase in speed, Zhang Lin also exuded an even more powerful aura of strength at this time, and the true energy that originally existed outside his body like golden armor even felt like it was burning.

"Brother Chen, the three secret techniques I practice are Strength Enhancement, Swift Shadow, and True Energy Boiling. Take my full-strength Vajra Eight-Part Slash."

After saying that, Zhang Lin let out a long roar, and the whole person soared into the sky with a bang when he was dozens of meters away. In the air, he slashed out golden sword energy that was several meters long at a terrifying speed.

The sword energy condensed but did not disperse. In the blink of an eye, it formed a golden halo that fell from the sky, and it was like a golden waterfall rushing down, making a roar and vibration.

Such a powerful move made Chen Chu look slightly solemn, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Suddenly, the endless physical strength in the body was completely released and merged with the domineering dragon-elephant power.

In an instant, Chen Chu's aura like that of a god or a devil burst out, and shrill wails were faintly heard around him as black and red light shrouded him. In an instant, a black and red halberd shot up into the sky.

Boom boom boom!!

The halberd that condensed true power was invincible, and the golden sword lights were shattered by the black and red halberd edge.

The escaping golden blade energy exploded and covered an area of ​​more than ten meters around Chen Chu, like a waterfall, cutting two or three meter cracks on the ground.

For a moment, Chen Chu's surroundings were instantly engulfed in smoke and dust, leaving only the roar of the earth shaking.

boom!

When the halberd and the sword collided, the power that exploded instantly destroyed almost everything around them. The ground beneath Chen Chu's feet shattered, and cracks spread three feet with him as the center.

In this attack, Zhang Lin almost unleashed all his strength. With his cultivation in the late fourth level, the blessing of the three secret techniques and the kinetic energy falling from the sky, even Chen Chu felt his shoulders and arms sink.

However, Chen Chu only felt his shoulders and arms sink, while his body remained motionless.

At this moment, the muscles in Chen Chu's arms expanded, and the infinite power in his body was released, causing the surrounding air to twist and expand, forming a violent gust of wind.

boom!

Under the indescribable terrifying force, Zhang Lin was swept away by Chen Chu's halberd again, and his body was blown away dozens of meters away. The ground shook under his heavy boots.

Is there no limit to his power? Looking at the figure in the distance whose aura of power was becoming more and more domineering, Zhang Lin's face was also shocked.

In the first test, both sides were evenly matched. The one who unleashed his normal strength was knocked away by the opponent's halberd. This time, even with the full power of his secret technique, he was still unable to shake him in the slightest.

That burly figure was like a real dragon-elephant beast, unshakable.

Even the true energy that was condensed like a substance did not look like that of the early stage of the Fourth Heaven. He would even believe that it was at the peak of the Fourth Heaven. It was too thick and overbearing.

Just when Zhang Lin was in doubt, Chen Chu said slowly: "Senior Zhang, it's my turn next."

Boom! Instantly, a sonic boom rang in everyone's ears.

When entering supersonic speed with absolute power and speed, Chen Chu only felt that the whole world had turned into a deep sea, and every step forward was full of resistance.

The Eight Desolations War Halberd in his hand was like a world-destroying blade that created the world, and it appeared above Zhang Lin's head in an instant.

Boom! Zhang Lin blocked the halberd that was about to chop him with his sword.

But the moment he blocked it, his face turned red, and under the incomparable and unstoppable terrifying force, his whole body sank and he half-knelt on the ground.

boom!

Under the overwhelming force, the ground within ten meters around Zhang Lin shattered, forming a deep pit with a diameter of ten meters, and cracks spread in all directions.

Zhang Lin, who was kneeling on one knee, had a flushed face, staring at the back of the knife that was slowly pressing down on his head and the side blade of the halberd that was getting closer and closer.

When the palm-thick blade pressed against Zhang Lin's shoulder with unstoppable force, the five-centimeter-thick protective energy outside his body instantly vibrated.

At the same time, the patterns on his golden scale armor emitted a dazzling light, reflecting each other to form a tough and powerful defense.

Just as Zhang Lin's face flushed and he was about to burst out with strength to shake off the halberd that was pressing on the knife, the black and red halberd light on the halberd exploded with a loud bang.

boom!

Zhang Lin was blown over by the powerful energy that exploded in his face. The earth shook, and the solid and tough golden energy that protected his body completely collapsed.

The dissipated golden, black and red true energy fell on the golden scale armor worn by Zhang Lin, making a banging sound.

At the moment when Zhang Lin was stunned by the explosion, a halberd in the smoke and dust swept up a black and red light, sweeping across the world.

Bang!

Zhang Lin was blown away by Chen Chu again, turning into a golden light and falling into the woods more than a hundred meters away.

boom!

Before Zhang Lin landed on the ground, Chen Chu had already caught up with a string of white air waves and piercing screams. With overwhelming momentum, he fought again with Zhang Lin who had stood up.

However, this time he did not confront Chen Chu head-on, but instead used his body skills to fight him continuously.

Boom boom boom!!

The entire forest was shaking violently, golden sword lights and black and red halberd lights shot up into the sky from time to time, and large tracts of trees collapsed and exploded.

Every time Chen Chu swung his spear, everything around him would be destroyed. Rocks would explode, trees would break, and even the ground would be plowed into trenches.

Zhang Lin, whose blood was aroused during the battle, only dodged more than ten moves before he could not help but fight with Chen Chu again.

And then... BOOM BOOM BOOM!!

Every time Zhang Lin's sword came into contact with the halberd wrapped in black and red light, the halberd light would explode, and he would be shocked by the violent explosion and feel so uncomfortable that he wanted to vomit blood.

If the armor he was wearing was not extraordinary and had not been blessed with true power to greatly weaken the energy impact, he would have been seriously injured.

Not to mention the overwhelming power. If you don't dodge, you will be swept away. You can't stop it at all. You are suppressed...

Of course, he had no idea that Chen Chu was still maintaining his normal power burst at this moment.

Looking at the towering old trees that collapsed in the distance and the shaking ground, Tang Tian's face turned pale: "You must be kidding, they are first-year students!!"

Ding Chen smiled bitterly: "We were not mistaken. Zhang Lin was indeed suppressed by that freshman, or in other words, he had no power to fight back."

The four of them were silent for a moment, not knowing what to say.

This is completely different from what they thought when they came down. Shouldn't Zhang Lin, who has a higher level of cultivation, a more solid foundation, and stronger combat power, be the one suppressing the new genius?

Or are they just too useless? They practiced hard for almost two years, fighting and practicing hard in the battlefield of strange beasts, but they were still surpassed by a freshman.

At this moment, the battle in the distance where half of the forest had been razed to the ground suddenly stopped.

"it's over."

"Let's go and take a look..."

The four of them immediately burst out with their true strength and used their body skills to fly over.

After a few breaths, the four of them passed through the collapsed forest and saw two people standing more than ten meters apart in the middle of the battlefield with collapsed trees in the distance.

Fortunately, what made them feel relieved was that Zhang Lin did not seem to be seriously injured. He just stood there with his sword in a rather awkward manner, his breath was weak, and his armor was dim.

Chen Chu on the opposite side was still standing with his spear in his hand as usual. He had already restrained his true strength, but he still exuded an invisible and heavy sense of oppression, making it difficult for people to breathe.

Tang Tian, ​​who was the fastest, appeared beside Zhang Lin in a flash and asked with concern: "Zhang Lin, are you okay?"

Zhang Lin smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I'm fine."

After saying this, he looked at Chen Chu who was not far away and said gratefully: "Xiaodi Chen, thank you for showing mercy."

At this time, Chen Chu said modestly: "No, Senior Zhang, you are too polite. In fact, I just burst out with all my strength, and I just won by luck."

“…Junior brother Chen, you don’t have to be so modest.” Zhang Lin took a deep breath and suppressed the urge in his heart to beat Chen Chu up.

You defeated me by chance, did you really defeat me by chance?

You are clearly suppressing me with absolute strength, okay?

However, this time Zhang Lin was convinced. Only after fighting with Chen Chu did he realize how terrifying this first-year genius was.

He has unparalleled strength, domineering true power, and terrifying combat awareness. His halberd moves are so skillful that they seem like instinct, and his reaction speed is so fast that it is terrifying.

It can be said that Chen Chu has no weaknesses at all. He is like a complete hexagonal warrior. He seems mediocre but is actually so powerful that it makes people despair.

In addition to this, there is the characteristic of true power that will explode upon touch, which is simply abnormal. Every time the true power explodes, others will be blown to the ground and their combos will be interrupted.

However, this time the fight between the two was just limited. After testing Zhang Lin's defensive limit, Chen Chu withdrew some of his strength in the subsequent battles.

This is also the reason why Zhang Lin was grateful just now, otherwise no matter how strong the defense of the extraordinary armor is, it cannot withstand the sharp and domineering attack of the heavy halberd.

The two sides were just competing in martial arts, not fighting to the death.

After resting for a while and recovering his inner strength, Zhang Lin bowed and said, "Brother Chen, we have something else to do, so we'll leave first. We'll meet again later."

"...See you later." Chen Chu was stunned by Zhang Lin's chivalrous bow, and then nodded politely.

Zhang Feng, Ding Chen, and Tang Tian also greeted Chen Chu politely, and then the five of them used their skills to disappear into the woods, looking clean and neat.

After watching the five people leave, Chen Chu's eyes revealed a thoughtful look.

After this battle, Chen Chu roughly understood his current combat power.

Under normal circumstances, that is, when all the physical strength and the dragon-elephant true power are released, the attack is around the middle and late stages of the fifth level when the halberd is swung.

This means that he is very strong in the middle stage of the fifth level. Ordinary practitioners in the middle stage of the fifth level are no match for him.

After unleashing the two killer moves of the Eight Desolate Inferno Halberd, the instantaneous burst of combat power can reach the late fifth heaven. If the Elephant's Fury Rune is activated, it can sweep across the fifth heaven.

In this comparison, it seems that Chen Chu's normal combat power is only two small levels higher than Zhang Lin.

But you have to know that the other party's cultivation is in the late fourth level. His true strength is several times stronger than Chen Chu's in the early fourth level, and it is more condensed and heavy.

By the end of the battle, Chen Chu's true energy was almost exhausted, and he was relying entirely on his absolute physical strength to suppress his opponent.

He also had to wrap his remaining true energy around the halberd to prevent the halberd, which was just an ordinary alloy weapon, from being damaged or even cut off by the opponent's extraordinary sword.

This was also the reason why Chen Chu detonated the little Dragon Elephant's true power almost the moment he touched it, preventing him from taking advantage of his weapon and true power level.

Therefore, when facing a battle against a higher level beast later on, he must fight quickly and decisively, not giving those higher level mutant beasts or enemies the opportunity to consume his true strength.

Thinking of this, Chen Chu couldn't help but sigh: "It's still not strong enough."

Even Zhang Lin, a genius in the late fourth level who was at the bottom of the performance list, could surpass the level and reach the middle fifth level with the help of secret techniques, extraordinary weapons, and extraordinary armor.

In this case, the combat power of those fifth-level geniuses in the top 100 will naturally be even stronger.

Especially those third-year monsters who are at the peak of the fifth level. Their accumulation is even more profound, and their secret techniques and combat skills must have been cultivated to a high level.

Only with combat power far beyond their realm, these monstrous geniuses dared to go deep into the Yunwu Mountains to train, fight with level six mutant beasts, and search for precious resources.

"Come on, and strive to break through to the sixth level of Dragon Elephant True Power within a month."

After encouraging himself, Chen Chu returned to the giant mountain bear. The black and red light on the Eight Desolations Halberd flickered, tearing a huge wound on the chest of the corpse.

Soon, a crystal emitting pure life energy appeared in Chen Chu's eyes.

Sure enough, there is a life crystal.

However, this time Chen Chu did not crawl in completely. Instead, he used his spear to hook the crystal and slowly pulled it out.

Chen Chu grabbed the fist-sized life crystal, rubbed it on the fur of the mountain giant bear, and then chose to transform. Suddenly, a row of transparent words appeared in front of his eyes.

"You transformed a high-purity life crystal and gained 81 attributes."

Looking at the free attribute that soared to 148 on the attribute page, Chen Chu smiled.

Just as Chen Chu burst out with strength and struggled to rush back, dragging the corpse of the giant mountain bear weighing dozens of tons.

Red lights flashed on the large screens in all bases.

"Chen Chu, with the cultivation base of the early Fourth Heaven, defeated Zhang Lin, the martial master of Longshan. The halberd's edge was unparalleled, and he roared like a dragon and an elephant. He is currently ranked 949th on the battle record list."

Suddenly, many people in the base looked up and saw the big red words flashing on the big screen with some surprise, surprise, and astonishment.

Among them are some students from Longshan Military High School.

"That guy Zhang Lin was actually defeated by a freshman?"

"It's useless. I was actually used as a stepping stone by a freshman."

"Next time you go into the mountains, if you meet that guy named Chen Chu, you must let him know how powerful we are at Longshan Martial Arts High School. That guy Zhang Lin is such a disgrace."

"That's easy to say, are you going to challenge him?"

"Hey! Forget it. I'm only in the middle stage of the third level. I won't bring shame to the school..."

At the Nantian Wugao Base, just as the big red characters were flashing, a team of five people returned exhausted. Two of them were the sisters Lin Xue and Lin Yu, who were wearing armor.

When they saw the shining red characters, both women were stunned.

Lin Xue couldn't believe it, her lips slightly parted, and she said in a lost voice: "How is it possible, Chen Chu is here, and...!"
