105: Chapter 105 One Punch Shatters a Star!
The crowd from Moda University quickly lowered their heads as they looked at the stunning figure above them; the oppressive aura of a Ninth-Rank Expert was too overwhelming.
The teacher from Moda University quickly cupped his hands in a salute and spoke respectfully:
"Greetings, Dean Mu. Since Dean Mu has spoken, then we at Moda University will not be polite. Song Yuting, you go and spar with Student Lin Yuan. Remember to stop when enough is enough!"
This teacher emphasized the final four words, "stop when enough is enough," clearly intending for Song Yuting to not hold back and to embarrass Lin Yuan.
Only to see Song Yuting take a step forward and point at Lin Yuan.
"Lin Yuan, I don't know what cheating methods you used when climbing the tower. Now, in front of everyone, let's see how you cheat. I will show you just how big the gap between us is!"
Song Yuting said disdainfully. He still firmly believed that Lin Yuan must have used some unsavory cheating method during the tower climb.
"A gap? Fine, you will see it soon enough," Lin Yuan replied calmly.
Song Yuting wasted no more words and directly unleashed his aura, which was at the Third-Rank Initial Stage.
As expected of an S-rank, his cultivation speed was indeed not slow. Coupled with the support of Moda University's resources, this strength was definitely enough to crush his peers, though this naturally did not include Lin Yuan.
"Third-Rank Initial Stage? I thought your strength was much higher. You accuse me of cheating while possessing this level of strength? How did you even pass the fifth floor? Aren't you embarrassed? I don't know who is really cheating..."
Lin Yuan said dismissively. The fifth floor contained five spectral figures, each possessing the strength of a peak Third-Rank. With just Song Yuting's Third-Rank Initial Stage strength, even with powerful Martial Arts, it was unlikely he could have passed the fifth floor.
Even if he was an S-rank ability user, fighting above his rank was not impossible, but extremely difficult.
Unless he used some special means, it would be impossible to defeat the combined force of five opponents who surpassed him by two entire realms.
Hearing this, Song Yuting's expression immediately became somewhat unnatural.
Lin Yuan had actually guessed correctly. In order to show off at Qing University, Song Yuting had directly used a Spirit Qi Bomb given to him by his grandfather for life preservation.
The Spirit Qi Bomb was forged from special ore. A master would inject their own spiritual energy into it, and upon release during combat, it could form a massive explosive force.
His grandfather had given him three of these in total, each capable of unleashing an attack with the intensity of a Grandmaster.
It was precisely by utilizing this Spirit Qi Bomb on the fifth floor that he managed to reach the sixth floor.
He thought he would steal the spotlight and crush the New Students from Qing University, but unexpectedly, even when revealing his trump card, he still lost completely in front of Lin Yuan.
"Who cheated? Don't just slander people!" Song Yuting immediately reacted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
"Whoever cheated knows best in their heart. I'm too lazy to argue this point with you. Are you sure you want to fight me alone, and not all of you ganging up on me?" Lin Yuan glanced at the Moda University crowd.
"What's with the arrogance? Say that after you manage to beat me! Take this! Starfall!"
Song Yuting roared through gritted teeth, grasping a silver spear over three meters long. He flicked the spear tip, creating a flourish.
A bright silver light suddenly erupted from the spear body, enveloping it. Then, Song Yuting exerted force with his feet and charged directly toward Lin Yuan.
"Hmm? This is? It has the feeling of stars. Could it be?" Lin Yuan felt confused.
"That's right, this is the Star Element, possessing the power to manipulate the stars. It's a variation of the Earth Element. This kind of ability is much stronger than ordinary elements. His talent is barely passing," Chu Yunfeng commented.
"The Power of Stars, interesting."
Lin Yuan's lips curved into a smile. He drew the swimming dragon sword and looked towards Song Yuting, who had leaped into the air.
Song Yuting flipped in mid-air and thrust his spear directly at Lin Yuan. The speed was extreme, and the imposing might was unstoppable and sweeping.
Lin Yuan did not move to dodge. Instead, he raised the swimming dragon sword in his hand and suddenly stabbed toward the tip of Song Yuting's spear.
Clang!! The swimming dragon sword immediately let out a crisp sword hum!
Ding!!
A sound of metal clashing was heard as the spear tip and sword tip collided, then abruptly separated.
The swimming dragon sword pointed diagonally into the air, motionless, while Song Yuting, suspended in the air, was sent flying backward rapidly.
Song Yuting's eyes widened, looking at Lin Yuan in disbelief. The long spear in his hand vibrated intensely, shaking his hands so much that he couldn't grip the shaft at all.
The immense impact force caused a churning sensation in his chest, and blood felt like it was about to surge out of his mouth uncontrollably...
Just then, as if he knew something beforehand, Lin Yuan stared into the mid-air.
The next moment, a massive meteor exceeding five meters in diameter suddenly appeared and rapidly smashed down toward Lin Yuan, resembling a miniature star.
This was precisely Song Yuting's Martial Art, Starfall.
The effect of Starfall was to use the Power of Stars to attack the target. Song Yuting's previous spear thrust was merely a feint; this Starfall was his true killing move.
This combination of feint and reality made it impossible to defend against.
This stellar meteor suddenly burst out of space and plummeted down. An ordinary martial artist, caught unprepared, would either die or be severely injured...
"Good timing!"
Lin Yuan's eyes flashed with excitement and confidence. He sheathed his sword, his blood boiling, and threw a punch toward the stellar meteor.
"Hahahaha... Lin Yuan, you are too laughable, absolutely idiotic! To dare use your fist to smash my Starfall! Now no one can save you!" Song Yuting laughed triumphantly as he retreated in the air and saw this.
Lin Yuan's expression was calm as his fist suddenly collided with the meteor.
The next second.
Boom!!
Lin Yuan's fist, shimmering with golden light, shattered that giant meteor over five meters in diameter with a single punch. The meteor seemed to vaporize on the spot, kicking up clouds of dust.
Pfft!!
Song Yuting had just been caught by his teammate and landed on the ground, immediately spitting out a mouthful of blood.
It was unclear whether it was from the shock of the previous collision or from fear...
"Junior Lin, so domineering! You are truly damn domineering!"
"One punch shatters the stars! That's terrifying! Are the little brats from Moda University scared to death already? Hahahaha..."
"Junior Lin has such a powerful physique, such immense strength! If this punch landed on that Song Yuting fellow, wouldn't it just blow him up?"
The scene instantly ignited as enthusiastic cheers erupted.
Hearing the surrounding mockery, Song Yuting spat out another mouthful of blood, staring at Lin Yuan, who stood perfectly straight on the field, his eyes seemingly spewing fire.
"This is impossible! How can he be this strong? Impossible! I am the number one genius among the younger generation!! I am!" Song Yuting muttered in despair.
Ever since he awakened his ability, he had been the center of attention, never suffering a defeat, which once led him to believe he was the best under heaven.
But today, he was defeated by Lin Yuan in the first exchange, and the opponent clearly hadn't used his full strength...
Lin Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, sweeping his gaze over the Moda University crowd, a slight arc on his lips.
"You wouldn't listen when I told you all to come up together, insisting on a one-on-one duel, and now you're spitting blood? I told you, today, every single person from Moda University who came for this exchange, I, Lin Yuan, will take on alone. Did you think I was joking? I don't have the leisure time. Hurry up and come together! After I take down this bunch of trash, I still have to go back to film variety shows."
Hearing Lin Yuan's arrogant provocation, the Moda University crowd became furious. They exchanged glances continuously.
Judging by Lin Yuan's strength in shattering the stars with one punch, he was definitely not weaker than their fourth-year students. No wonder he was so arrogant; he was simply a monstrous freak...
"Brothers, should we all go up together and take him down?"
"Sigh... If the ten of us go up together, even if we defeat him, people will still laugh at Moda University for bullying the weak with superior numbers."
"But if we don't defeat him, won't Moda University be even more ridiculed? What should we do? Teachers, please give us some direction."
Listening to the students, a teacher from Moda University clenched his fist and made a decision:
"Fine! All ten of you go up together, make it quick, and you must cripple that little beast!"
"Yes!"
The ten from Moda University immediately stood up, drawing out various weapons. Powerful auras soared towards the sky...
