Moonset's Residual Light, as the stars sink and leave their traces, everything comes slowly, yet it is actually approaching at an unbelievable speed.
The lightning-fast strike of this killing move immediately caused an uproar in the audience.
"Is this child’s body forged from steel? In such a short time, he has unleashed so many powerful moves without any burden on his body. This kind of physical quality is terrifying, like a humanoid beast."
"How frightening! This is simply a monstrous existence. To be able to gain the upper hand while fighting above his level, who exactly is this Fellow?"
Many sharp-eyed Fellows in the crowd were astonished. They asked themselves, if they were in a state of Intermediate Level strength and engaged in a battle above their level, enduring even two exchanges would be their limit, let alone gaining the upper hand and launching a counterattack. This was something many proud individuals could not achieve.
With a roar!
A spear surged forth like a dragon, carrying immense momentum, following closely behind the retreating Barto. This spear struck unexpectedly like a returning horse but was even more powerful and lethal than an ordinary returning horse strike. It was like a meteor streaking across the sky, trailing a long light tail; it was clearly visible one moment and vanished the next.
Barto’s pupils suddenly contracted. The sudden intense sense of crisis tensed every muscle in his body. At this life-threatening moment, he could no longer afford to think too much. The earlier disdain had long been cast aside. If he did not unleash his killing move now, he would have no chance left.
"Greedy Wolf Sword Technique—Blazing Wolf Smoke!"
Almost at the moment Bu Qiang’s terrifying spear pierced through him, Barto’s dark green longsword suddenly shattered into countless fragments that shot forward, gathering before him to form a pitch-black wolf smoke made entirely of sharp fragments. It howled and spun, tearing through the air like a torrent of steel; anyone caught within would likely be shredded into pieces in an instant.
"To force Barto to use the Blazing Wolf Smoke, this newcomer is gradually piquing my interest. If he can break this move, I might consider recruiting him as my elite subordinate," Golan nodded slightly in the private box on the second floor, feeling somewhat intrigued.
Thunderous rumble!
The entire hall trembled at that moment, dust falling from the eaves as cracks appeared in the surrounding walls with loud noises. Stones were swept up by the energy whirlwind like cannonballs flying everywhere. The crowd retreated again and again; the luxurious and spacious hall of Cypress Inn had turned into a wasteland. Several supporting stone pillars even showed signs of cracking, as if they would break apart under pressure at any moment.
"These two Fellows are causing such a commotion without regard for anyone else. Why hasn’t Cypress Inn sent anyone to stop them? At this rate, the entire inn will be demolished."
"It seems someone has tacitly allowed this to happen, letting these two Fellows run amok. Otherwise, with Cypress Inn's background, even if they are students of Holy Light Academy, they would have been apprehended on the spot."
Many people were aware of Cypress Inn's powerful background. There had been instances before where troublemakers had caused disturbances within Cypress Inn, but those who caused trouble were always captured and severely punished. This included several formidable individuals who had reached Intermediate Level 5. Once such strong characters went wild, even with only two streets worth of space, Cypress Inn would be insufficient to contain the destruction they could cause.
However, such a character had no chance to unleash their fury before being captured. Many had witnessed the High-Level Giant suppressing others, and thus, Cypress Inn gradually became shrouded in mystery in everyone's eyes. Some students from the Holy Light Academy, not believing in the supernatural, insisted on trying it out for themselves, but the end result only further enhanced the reputation of Cypress Inn.
In theory, on the territory of Holy Light Academy, the students were equivalent to overlords. No one had the authority to punish them except for the academy's enforcement elders. However, Cypress Inn was an exception; all guests staying at the inn were treated equally. Anyone causing trouble would be apprehended, and Holy Light Academy had never shown any dissatisfaction or intent to intervene. Over time, rumors spread that Cypress Inn was built by high-ranking officials within Holy Light Academy.
At this moment, Barto was truly enraged and no longer considered the consequences. He only wanted to use the killing move of the Greedy Wolf Sword Technique to take down this newcomer to the academy.
Previously, he had never intended to cause trouble at Cypress Inn, but Kathy's slap had become the spark that ignited everything. Following that, there was a sudden attack from another individual, escalating the situation. He even kicked one of the inn's staff across the room. The matter had grown larger and larger, yet no one came to hold him accountable. Barto suspected that the higher-ups at Cypress Inn had tacitly approved of their actions, turning a blind eye.
Barto was not a fool; he was neither a High-Level Giant nor a highly ranked student within the academy. There was no reason for Cypress Inn not to intervene against him, yet they chose to ignore it. This clearly indicated that they wanted to see him teach a lesson to this newcomer.
With Bu Leng's mocking words in front and Kathy's threatening demeanor behind him, coupled with Cypress Inn's indifference, he thought he was not made of clay and had nothing to fear.
However, at this point in the fight, Barto found himself unable to back down. The newcomer proved more formidable than he had imagined; an Intermediate Level individual could unleash attacks that made him feel an intense sense of danger. To counter this attack, he was forced to use the killing move of the Greedy Wolf Sword Technique, known as Blazing Wolf Smoke.
Now, the situation was completely out of Barto's control. He was no longer concerned about losing face but rather whether he could escape unscathed.
Blazing Wolf Smoke, being one of the killing moves of the Greedy Wolf Sword Technique, naturally possessed extraordinary qualities.
This move should only be used in dire situations because it required self-destructing his weapon first. The shattered remnants would then form a storm of blades to annihilate all incoming foes.
A martial artist is defined by their martial prowess; "martial" can refer to spirit, techniques, skills, or various weapons. A martial artist can only exert their full combat power when armed with their weapon. Even those skilled in hand-to-hand combat who do not primarily rely on weapons would find themselves helpless if their hands and legs—essentially their weapons—were rendered useless.
As Step Forward pressed forward with a spear strike known as Moonset and Starfall, it forced Barto into a corner where he had no choice but to counter with Blazing Wolf Smoke. This meant pushing him into a desperate situation; if Blazing Wolf Smoke could not withstand the momentum of Step Forward, then without his weapon, Barto would be left entirely defenseless.
This was not merely about winning or losing; it pertained to momentum—a force that could rise and fall dramatically.
When Step Forward shattered Barto's tearing claws technique, his once overwhelming momentum dissipated. By the time he unleashed his technique called Wolf's Journey of a Thousand Miles, even the massive head of the giant wolf was smashed by another strike from Step Forward. Once again, Barto’s momentum faltered; if his last resort—Blazing Wolf Smoke—was also broken through, his spirit would be utterly depleted. Even if he managed to wield another weapon afterward, without momentum he would be like a coward facing a fierce tiger—holding a weapon yet too afraid to strike.
The thunderous sound echoed through the hall like continuous booming thunder. Accompanying this violent noise were waves of energy creating shockwaves. At that moment, the main hall of Cypress Inn swayed like leaves in a storm, on the verge of collapse as if it would start crumbling from the roof at any moment.
In the arena, Step Black soared, blood spilling from the corners of his mouth, his cheeks lacerated by the flying shards. He wielded a spear, roaring with each strike, each blow like a falling meteor, powerful and furious.
Before him, a metallic storm raged, seemingly intent on shredding him to pieces. Through this terrifying storm, the blurred figure of Barto was less than three inches away.
If not for Barto's use of Blazing Wolf Smoke, Step's shot Moonset and Starfall would have already struck him. However, at this moment, that three-inch distance became an insurmountable barrier due to Blazing Wolf Smoke.
A minute had passed since Bloodline Transformation was activated. If he could not quickly take down Barto, once the time limit of Bloodline Transformation expired, the advantageous situation he held would be instantly reversed. Unless he dared to risk suspicion by letting Hong Lian take the field, he would have no means to deal with Barto.
"I can't delay any longer; I must unleash Fusing God and the combat techniques attached to Taiyuan Spear," Step decided as he felt the energy within him depleting rapidly.
Fusing God was a Forbidden Technique that could significantly enhance physical strength and power within ten breaths. It consumed a large amount of Mental Power to refine oneself; the more Mental Power consumed, the stronger the refining effect on the body. This was a body tempering technique.
At this moment, Step's Mental Power rapidly dissipated, merging into his body. His cells began to become active, propelled by Mental Power in a strange way that caused them to split and recombine quickly. His muscles swelled with movement, becoming tougher and more powerful. The bones creaked as they grew denser and harder. His viscera and even skin pores were rapidly optimized and strengthened.
Power! Strong! Unprecedentedly fierce! The state of Bloodline Transformation already provided comprehensive enhancement to his body; now combined with Fusion of the Divine, this frenzied strengthening multiplied exponentially.
If one were to look at Step's personal attribute status bar at this moment, they would see his strength, Agility, and physique values skyrocketing. In just an instant, these three values reached one hundred thirty points—an almost terrifying attribute comparable to Crimson Lotus Incarnation—an absolute anomaly that would never appear in any Intermediate Level warrior. This kind of formidable physique was unmatched at his level.
