Lin Ce was not alarmed.
He had already roughly assessed the opponent's strength before the opponent used the spear.
It must be said that the innate true energy is indeed powerful, but it is still not enough to hurt him.
Even now, with the addition of a spear as long as a black dragon, it remains the same.
"Boom!"
Fist and spear clashed.
Having been infused with true energy, the spear tip, which should have been indestructible, was now pressed against Lin Ce's fist, unable to advance an inch.
The two men, who had thrust out their spears and thrown their fists, seemed to have fallen into a brief state of stagnation.
But everything around them will not stop.
The torrent of true energy emanating from the spear surged and tried to attack Lin Ce's body, but it was blocked by his skin and flesh, and collided violently with the needle-like true energy contained within his flesh and blood.
In the collision, a powerful force poured out in all directions.
As the endless smoke and dust dissipated, a circular pit several tens of feet in diameter appeared outside the two people.
Only the spot where the two of them stood remained, like two solitary peaks, standing silently.
The onlookers at the training ground were stunned when the dust and smoke billowing from the circular pit covered their faces.
Having never witnessed a battle between innate martial artists, they could never have imagined that even the aftershocks of the fight could be so exhilarating.
They quickly retreated more than ten feet away.
Although they were worried about the potential dangers, they couldn't bear to miss the duel between the two masters.
This battle had already alarmed the area around the martial arts school, and those watching now were not just the school's disciples.
"This battle is probably no less fierce than the battle fought by Master Yan on the Lanjiang River back then, isn't it?"
"What are you talking about? Open your eyes and watch. This battle will definitely be much stronger than the one on the Lanjiang River. You know, back then, Master Yan hadn't even broken through to the Innate Realm yet, but now he's a genuine Innate Realm martial artist."
"However, regardless of the final outcome, Chief Escort Lin is quite impressive. Sihai Escort Agency, Sihai Escort Agency... Why does that name sound so familiar?"
"So you're too young. Don't you think about what the words 'Sihai' signify? This escort agency was once very prosperous, but it has declined now."
...
Such discussions were not uncommon among the spectators.
Among the crowd were two young women, both with strikingly beautiful faces, who stood out from the others.
"Rose, who do you think will win this battle?"
"Just watch. If I had told you beforehand, wouldn't you have missed out on a lot of the fun of watching the show?"
"Tch, stingy. By the way, between Chief Escort Lin and you, who's stronger?"
Facing Su Caiying, who was staring at her with wide eyes, Qiangwei looked indifferently at the scene.
"I want to kill Yan Zhengtong; one move is enough."
The implication is that Lin Ce, who has fought Yan Zhengtong to this point, could easily be dealt with by her.
"Little girl, just enjoy the show, why are you bragging?"
Some bystanders turned to look, quite displeased.
Rose snorted coldly and flicked her sleeves.
Instantly, an invisible force field appeared, and the people surrounding them lost their footing and fell outwards.
The area around his body was 10 feet, so it was cleared.
"Keep a low profile, keep a low profile."
Su Caiying cautiously looked around and whispered to Qiangwei.
"I heard that Third Brother was assassinated a few days ago and was injured. We can't let our guard down."
"Don't worry, if there's anyone I can't resist, I'll die right in front of you."
"..."
Su Caiying, feeling disheartened, sighed, "Let's just watch the competition instead."
Although he exchanged a few casual words with Rose, he had not missed the duel in the arena.
Because after the initial attack, the two did not immediately engage in further combat, but instead made a bet.
Many duels among martial artists in the martial arts world are like this.
"Is the Yanzheng Martial Arts School short-staffed? Why is Master Yan acting like that?"
Su Caiying blinked and asked Qiangwei in a daze.
It's no wonder she had such a question.
The wager set by Yan Zhengtong was that if Lin Ce lost this battle, he would become the honorary instructor of Yan Zheng Martial Arts School for six months.
Rose shook her head.
"This is not a question of whether we are short of people or not."
In fact, this is just a matter of face for martial arts practitioners.
This battle has escalated to the point where Yan Zhengtong has no way out.
As the head of the martial arts school, he valued his reputation highly, as it was a matter of great importance to the school's survival.
He can only win this battle; he cannot afford to lose.
Having taken such a huge risk, he was naturally unwilling to let Lin Ce off easily.
Defeating your opponent and making them an honorary instructor of the martial arts school will further enhance the school's reputation. At that time, countless people will come to sponsor the school and pay for martial arts training.
Whether Lin Ce is at the martial arts school or not is completely unimportant.
"OK."
Lin Ce nodded, not resisting Yan Zhengtong's request.
"Since that's the case, then I'll also make my request. If I, Lin, happen to win, then Master Yan should also become an honorary bodyguard of the Four Seas Escort Agency for a period of six months. What do you say?"
Following the other party's request, everyone assumed that Lin Ce was simply mimicking what was being said, unaware that he was harboring his own scheme.
"Okay, it's a deal."
There's nothing more to say now; we can only go all out and surge forward.
Yan Zhengtong shook his spear, and the true energy wrapped around it began to sway, gradually taking on a scorching heat, almost like flames.
"My true qi has actually developed some kind of attribute?"
Rose's expression shifted slightly. "Yan Zhengtong has gone quite far on the path of the sixth-grade innate realm."
Su Caiying's eyes lit up, and she also looked at the scene.
Lin Ce's expression hardened, clearly indicating that he had also sensed this change.
He pushed all the martial arts he knew to their limits, his flesh and bones seemed to be crying out, and the inner layers of his skin and flesh shimmered with a radiant glow.
"The Crimson Dragon Spear Technique was something even Dugu Wang couldn't witness back then, but today it's yours, Chief Escort Lin."
Before he could finish speaking, a spear thrust at him.
In Lin Ce's eyes, he vaguely saw a crimson dragon wreathed in flames, fiercely pouncing towards him.
This time, he didn't stand still, but took the initiative to move forward.
"Knock knock knock~"
Each step that landed on the ground produced a thunderous roar.
At this moment, he also unleashed the "Sea Mirage Sound".
The "Sea Mirage" on the sixth level is clearly too difficult to completely ensnare a Xiantian martial artist.
But that doesn’t stop him from subtly creating a little misconception for the other party.
"It's done."
Lin Ce's heart skipped a beat, sensing a change in the opponent's gun stance.
This time, the illusion created by the "sea mirage" only caused the other party to misjudge the distance by a tiny bit.
The spear, which should have been three inches away from truly piercing Lin Ce, began to erupt prematurely under the influence of this illusion.
This slight illusion doesn't actually have a huge impact; it only reduces the intensity of the attack to about 90%.
But that was enough for Lin Ce.
In battles at this level, even the slightest difference can alter the outcome.
"Boom!"
Lin Ce moved to the side, creating a large crater in the ground. He then charged towards Yan Zhengtong like a giant flying mountain from the side of the spear tip.
Breaking through the mountain and flying rocks!
This combination of ultimate moves, after his flesh and blood were infused with true qi needles, clearly displayed an even more dazzling brilliance.
