Chapter 420 - 296: The Assessment Ends
Li Yi’s time refining Gang Qi was short, so the Gang Qi within his body was not ample; being able to condense a sword radiance was already commendable. However, this situation was only temporary. As time passed, and he traveled further down the path of refining Gang, the Gang Qi within his body would grow ever more vigorous until all his Qi-Blood transformed into Gang Qi.
But now, just this thread of Gang Qi was enough to help him break through his limits.
At this moment, with sword radiance in hand, and the enhancement of the Guiding Skill, Li Yi shone splendidly. He didn’t retreat but advanced instead, charging towards Shen Chong. He knew that Shen Chong was a powerhouse of the Soul Realm, and moreover, was a genius who had joined the Golden Academy early on. Facing such an opponent, he didn’t need to hold back, nor did he need any reservations; all he needed was to burst forth with all his might.
Accompanied by the tearing sword radiance across the sky, Li Yi’s towering stature burst forth with robust Qi-Blood. Wherever he passed, the air trembled and buzzed, as if a ferocious Extraordinary Creature was roaring, attempting to unleash all its potential to break through the formidable enemy before it, and forcibly carve a path to survival.
The dazzling cold light was swift as thunder; the nearly twenty-meter distance seemed to have been slashed open with a ferocious wound, and in the blink of an eye, this slit had torn its way to the front of Shen Chong.
"Not bad speed, what an unstoppable momentum," Shen Chong’s eyes narrowed slightly before he excitedly began to comment, "Among so many students participating in the assessment, your frontal combat ability can be ranked among the top."
However, what puzzled Li Yi was that.
This thrust of sword radiance stopped just a few centimeters away from Shen Chong, as if there were layers of invisible shackles entwining his sword radiance, preventing it from advancing any further.
Li Yi tried to exert more force, but his sword radiance began to show signs of collapse and disintegration.
"What’s going on?" His eyes narrowed slightly, unable to comprehend what was happening before him.
It should be known that there was no Protective Gang Qi in front of Shen Chong, and even if there were, Li Yi believed that with his Hundred Refinement Gang Qi, he should be able to rip open a gap. But at this moment, he could not feel any force around him.
