Chapter 320 – The Strong Claim Everything; Grand Elder Jen’Gal Yuan - Part 1
The spear quivered, snapped forward, then stabbed, quick and sly as a venomous snake. Yet the Ice Folk’s weapons lacked spring; cast from deep-blue ice, they were built for straight thrusts and nothing more.
As the clash unfolded, Li Yuan quietly studied the youth nicknamed Blacktooth.
Each time the youth attacked, he roared like a lion, wild with excitement. His spear ripped the frigid air open with a sound like tearing silk. The young man had power. plenty of it. But his form was abysmal. Every thrust bristled with openings.
Li Yuan saw at least ten ways to kill him each exchange.
KLANG! The spears met, and both men hopped back.
Blacktooth threw back his head, laughing. “Marvelous! Splendid! Hahaha! Outsiders have come before, but none as skilled as you. To last this many rounds against me is no small feat.”
Li Yuan cupped his fists. “Blacktooth, you awe me with your strength. My palms are still numb. But next, I’ll use a secret art passed down through my clan.”
Blacktooth grinned. “Show me!”
The two closed in again.
Li Yuan had seen enough. Reading the other’s spear path, he set his own spear at the boy’s throat before the thrust even began.
His spearmanship had long since blended every school’s strong points, reached its own pinnacle, and then gone beyond.
His seventh rank ultimate skill, Six Convergences, was a relic of the past. Previously, his spear would come in all directions, trapping the victim in a web of death. Now, it spear left no trace at all—one mist-light motion, yet it landed exactly where he wished.
