Dojo Masters are among the strongest fighters in every city.
As the Dojo Master of the provincial capital, Yazhe is nearly impossible to defeat unless through ruthless, life-or-death combat.
(Wulei True Law – Heavenly Thunder)
Instant cast.
Battle isn’t a turn-based game; the situation where you charge a big move one turn and one-shot the enemy the next rarely happens.
A good technique wins by speed and surprise.
Sacrificing the power of a chant for swift, fierce attacks is the strategy with the highest chance of victory!
“Refreshing!”
The feel of this fight was completely different from the one with Cluru.
If the previous match was a boring punching bag session, now every second was a tense, all-out offensive clash.
Both sides abandoned defense.
Roaring lightning ravaged the arena; earth and sand whipped up yellow tornadoes. Right from the start, both sides went all out on special effects!
“Since you’re the Qilins Master, I’ll raise the stakes: you have to hold on for three minutes at five percent of my strength!”
“Since you’re the Dojo Master, I’ll go all out. Hope you’re still alive after three minutes.”
“Hahaha, come on! Let’s see if you can break this move!”
Yazhe suddenly changed his tactics.
He spun his spear like a giant candy cane; where the spear tip flicked, the ground turned into hard rock bullets, screaming forward in a continuous barrage.
This move was both offense and defense. The spinning spear formed a protective shield, while the launched rocks ensured ranged attacks.
Since the spear touched the ground, it acted as a lightning rod, completely nullifying the Five Thunder Curse.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The flying rock attack was shameless, like an infinite-ammo heavy machine gun.
I ran circles madly but was still grazed by stray bullets from time to time. My arms were covered in bruises.
“Just running away won’t work! Your stamina won’t hold.”
(Shameless Yazhe! You call that five percent of your strength? You’re kidding children.)
(This move— the Rock Bullet Whirling Spear Array—is your signature skill! You used it to cheat and defeat the Thunder Element Dojo Master of Five Elephants City.)
(Yazhe old dog, to avoid being schooled by a kid, even used his trump card!)
(This move even the Thunder Element Dojo Master couldn’t break; how could she possibly break it?!)
I had no time to pay attention to the live comments on my phone screen.
Yazhe’s offensive gave me no breathing room.
If it weren’t for the Qilin’s blessing making me fast enough, I probably would have lost on our first encounter.
“So it’s a direct counter to Thunder type…”
This move would infuriate all Thunder type Masters.
Thunder Masters are generally fast and use lightning attacks but have low health, fragile defense, and weak stamina.
Against this move, their offense is useless— they can only run and evade.
Running drains stamina, and stray bullets can break bones, leaving them unable to fight.
“Luckily, it’s not unbeatable!”
With rich battle experience in my mind, I quickly thought of two counters.
The first was to use a powerful enough voltage and current to burn Yazhe’s spear.
As a Qi Refining stage cultivator, that was impossible.
So I chose the second plan.
“Star-Gazing Thunder Eye— Activate!”
My vision began tracking trajectories and became clearer.
Star-Gazing Thunder Eye is a secret, high-level Divine Ability of the Tianji Sect.
They use it to observe stars because it can detect the subtlest movements in the stars, enabling them to calculate future trends.
Used in battle, it can predict an enemy’s movements.
The flying earth bullets, my speed, Yazhe’s spear trajectory—all became clear!
“Every two seconds, four rotations left, seven right—the defense on each side is so different! So that’s a habitual hand problem?”
After discovering the weakness, I decisively changed from blind fleeing.
I started moving toward Yazhe’s left rear side.
“Huh?!”
Yazhe’s pupils shrank.
—Was it coincidence? Or had she really discovered something?
His left hand was indeed weaker than his right, so when the spear spun with the left hand as the axis, the motion was slightly slower and stiffer.
This not only lowered hit rate but also weakened left-side defense.
But at high frequency, this flaw was completely concealed!
No way someone could see through that, right?!
Spinning at high speed, Yazhe was shocked to find the girl’s gaze locking onto him with perfect precision, undistracted by the dense assault.
The moment their eyes met, he glimpsed faint lightning traces in her eyes and felt a chill of foreboding.
“Break!”
With a twist of my waist, I kicked off the wall at the edge of the arena.
Using the momentum, my body became lightning itself, instantly closing the distance to Yazhe.
His defense seemed impenetrable, but I had already calculated the intervals.
With the inertia of high-speed rotation, Yazhe had already changed frequency and couldn’t keep up!
“It’s over!”
I condensed lightning blades in both hands, thrusting straight at Yazhe’s chest.
Forced to abandon his spear formation, Yazhe was stunned but kept his composure.
He decisively dropped the spear and retreated far away, narrowly escaping a humiliating direct defeat.
“You actually broke that move…”
Yazhe was incredulous.
Even a fellow Thunder Element Dojo Master had lost to this technique.
Yet, this girl, just beginning her path of cultivation, had cracked it?!
“After all, the Qilin is omnipotent.” I smiled faintly.
“…”
Is that the power of a Legendary Spirit?
Yazhe noticed the lightning in my eyes.
“Normally, the Azure Dragon represents Wood, Vermilion Bird Fire, White Tiger Metal, Black Tortoise Water, and the Qilin corresponds to the Central Emperor Gouchen Star, so it should be Earth attribute, right?” Yazhe muttered thoughtfully, “So how is your Qilin Thunder type…”
“This is a Flash variant version.”
“…”
In the world of Immortal Spirits, rare mutated variants exist, differing greatly in appearance and skills from the originals, often much stronger.
But the chance of such a mutant appearing is less than one in a hundred thousand—virtually impossible to find.
Now you say your Legendary Spirit is a mutant?
Mutant legend? Luck on top of luck? What are the odds???
“Maybe it’s the Monster ○ person version.” I shook my ear.
“…”
“Don’t know, but my Qilin is omnipotent. Bring it on!”
“Still have strength? Then come at me!” Yazhe excitedly pressed his hands to the ground, forming new rocky spears. It had been a long time since he felt this exhilarated!
The rest of the fight was pure speed and power.
Yazhe abandoned all spells and techniques, engaging me in close-quarters melee.
I wielded lightning twin swords, clashing against Yazhe’s spear amid yellow dust and sand.
Clang clang clang, lightning and scorching sand scattered everywhere.
Hit when you can, counter every strike.
The audience was thoroughly entertained.
“So strong… no wonder he’s a Dojo Master.”
It was obvious Yazhe was holding back.
Even holding back, I had to activate Star-Gazing Thunder Eye to keep up with his speed.
“Watch out! I’m going up to fifty percent speed!”
Yazhe warned and accelerated again!
Even with Star-Gazing Thunder Eye, I clearly saw his next move and knew what he’d do— but my body couldn’t keep up.
In that case, I unleashed spiritual energy and lightning to stimulate my muscles. Activate!
“Caught up again?!”
Yazhe was stunned to find my speed rising alongside his.
It was a struggle; my body flushed with a sickly red, but I truly kept pace!
“This is fifty percent of my speed level. Though I’m a Rock type Dojo Master, because of my special Immortal Spirit, I’ve never been slow— rivaling even the Fighting type Dojo Master.
You keeping up with me and your performance today— forget the college entrance physical test, I’ll give you full marks directly!”
Yazhe swung his spear and stepped back.
I didn’t pursue, gasping for breath as I exited burst mode and took the chance to recover.
“You passed.” Yazhe sheathed his spear, “You’re excellent, with more potential than any other Legendary Master I’ve met. No more fighting— we can’t risk hidden injuries for you or the Qilin.”
“This level of fighting won’t leave any hidden injuries.”
“Breaking my Rock Bullet Whirling Spear Array is already amazing. If this were life or death, I might have died just now.” Yazhe said with lingering fear. “I never expected fighting a kid like you would let me find the fatal weakness in this move. I’ve learned a lot from this battle.”
“You flatter me, not that great.”
“In any case, you passed. Let’s stop here. This was already a thrilling fight— you surprised me too much!”
As the Dojo Master of Chang’an City, the provincial capital, Yazhe is basically one of the top fighters in the province, and ranks within the world’s top 500.
Losing to him is no shame. Even being able to keep up at half his speed makes me a monster.
After all, I’m just a high school student!
.
Too bad I’m not good at dojo matches.
If the goal was to kill the opponent…
Assassination with poison— I have a seventy percent chance to kill Yazhe.
Assassination without poison— thirty percent.
A direct fight with life-or-death stakes— ten percent.
“That was satisfying. Thanks.”
My little tantrum after a sleepless night found its outlet in this fight.
Turns out when you’re in a bad mood, you need to smash something.
“Alright— today’s dojo match is over. I’ll take you all sightseeing~~”
Yazhe was even more eager to leave.
