Chapter 250: Stunning Everyone

Chapter 250: Chapter 250: Stunning Everyone

"I lost!"

Han Zhen replayed the entire fight in his mind. He had suppressed Lin Qi for the whole match, but for some reason, his opponent’s strength had suddenly skyrocketed, and he had been overwhelmed by pure power.

’How did he do that?’

After thinking it over, his entire face flushed red!

’I actually lost to an Ordinary genius. This is a huge embarrassment.’

"I came here to experience the thrill of crushing weaklings, but now I’ve lost to an Ordinary genius. This is just too humiliating."

Right now, Han Zhen wished he could find a hole to crawl into and never come out.

"I can’t believe it. Han Zhen, you actually lost?"

"You’ve really brought shame to our Tenth Institute." The pretty girl beside him spoke up, her voice full of surprise.

Han Zhen plopped down into his seat, his face bright red as he lowered his head and said nothing.

"By the way, Brother Jiu, how did Lin Qi suddenly get so strong?"

The girl asked the gentle-mannered young man, her expression turning puzzled.

The gentle-mannered young man frowned and said:

"That’s a Little Divine Power!"

"A Little Divine Power?"

The girl was confused, and Han Zhen looked up as well, staring at the young man with the same puzzlement.

The gentle-mannered young man gave a simple explanation of what a Little Divine Power was.

After listening, the girl asked in amazement, "Are Little Divine Powers that powerful?"

The young man replied, "Extremely powerful. Once it’s used, your physical stats increase dramatically. Han Zhen should know this well, having been crushed by pure power."

"You can’t use your Special Ability, and even if you have special Power, it’s useless against that kind of pure strength."

"This Lin Qi is truly formidable. No more than three people a year manage to master a Little Divine Power."

"I only knew of one. Now there’s another."

"Han Zhen, your loss wasn’t unfair!"

...

「In the Shanyu Martial Arts University stands.」

After watching the entire match, Tan Pei’er’s expression changed drastically.

"That was a Little Divine Power?!!"

"How is that possible? How could an Ordinary genius master a Little Divine Power?"

"This is impossible?!"

Tan Pei’er’s world was spinning. She felt utterly humiliated.

Her participation in the National Freshman Tournament was already controversial, earning her ridicule from the other geniuses of the Tenth Institute.

Losing to Han Zhen and only getting third place was embarrassing enough for her.

But now that Han Zhen had lost to Lin Qi, she was even more disgraced. Double the humiliation.

BAM!

She felt like she was about to explode with anger. She slammed her hand down on the armrest of her chair and logged off directly.

...

[Finals: Lin Qi (Azure Sky) is victorious!!]

"Let’s congratulate contestant Lin Qi! He has successfully created a miracle and made history!"

"In the 30 years we’ve held the National Freshman Tournament, no one has ever been able to defeat a genius with an Awakened Special Ability. Not a single person!!"

"But today, contestant Lin Qi did it!"

"He successfully defeated Han Zhen and has claimed the final championship!"

"Let’s give him a thunderous round of applause!"

Xu Wenji’s projection reappeared, his voice ringing out as he announced the final result.

Although his voice was calm, the joy within it was unmistakable.

Xu Wenji was overjoyed, both shocked and delighted.

He was shocked that Lin Qi had actually mastered a Little Divine Power and defeated Han Zhen, and delighted that the championship ultimately went to Lin Qi.

Lin Qi had made new history!

CLAP! CLAP! CLAP!!

The moment the battle ended, thunderous applause and a tsunami of cheers erupted from the audience.

Nearly two million spectators were all in an uproar.

"He won? He actually won?!"

"Oh my god!! Lin Qi actually beat Han Zhen! How did he do it?"

"How did his strength suddenly jump so much that he beat Han Zhen in one move?"

"Lin Qi made history! This is the first time someone has been able to beat a Tenth Institute genius in the National Freshman Tournament. From now on, Lin Qi is my idol."

"Haha, my friend didn’t see this match. He’s definitely going to regret it!!"

Countless people voiced their astonishment.

Lin Qi’s performance was simply too outrageous, completely shattering their understanding.

In the Shanyu Martial Arts University stands, Liang Yuxin wore a look of shock. ’Lin Qi actually won?!’

’That was a Little Divine Power. How did he do it?’

Geniuses like Zhong Xinyan and Gong Hui were also exceptionally shocked.

’Lin Qi actually comprehended a Little Divine Power?’

’He actually defeated Han Zhen, a genius from the Tenth Institute, and won the championship!’

A twofold shock filled their hearts.

...

「In the Nether Sea Martial Academy stands.」

Li Hanjiang shot to his feet and applauded. After the initial shock, a smile spread across his face.

"I knew that guy Lin Qi would give us a little shock!"

"A Little Divine Power... it causes a huge surge in one’s physical abilities. At his level, with a Little Divine Power, no one is a match for him."

"It’s a shame I never managed to master one. I need to work even harder!"

...

「In the leadership gallery.」

The leaders from the Thirty-six Martial Arts Universities were all stunned!

Many of them watched the scene in astonishment.

"Someone actually managed to defeat a Tenth Institute genius!"

One High Realm Martial Artist exclaimed in amazement:

"A theory has become reality. Many people have discussed this issue in the past."

"If a genius with an Awakened Special Ability has their ability disabled, and another genius has comprehended a Little Divine Power, who would win in a fight between them?"

"Most people believed the one with the Little Divine Power would win, but there was never a real-world example."

"But today, someone has finally proven the theory."

...

The leaders of Shanyu Martial Arts University and Nether Sea Martial Academy were now sighing with admiration and envy.

They marveled at Lin Qi’s strength. His championship was well-deserved, as not even two geniuses from the Tenth Institute could stop him.

At the same time, they were dying of envy. ’Why isn’t a genius like that at our university?’

Suddenly, Liang Yuxin and Li Hanjiang didn’t seem so special anymore.

To think, during the college entrance exams, Lin Qi had only ranked tenth!

Every one of their universities had a chance to recruit him, and now they were all kicking themselves with regret.

...

「In the leadership seats for Azure Sky Martial Arts Academy.」

"A Little Divine Power?!!"

The refined Wu Yueze shot up from his seat, his expression one of astonishment as he said:

"If I’m not mistaken, that was a Little Divine Power. Lin Qi cultivates the Vajra Tiger Evolution Technique, so what he mastered must be the [Vajra Transformation]."

"He actually mastered a Little Divine Power?"

Wu Yueze was beginning to feel a pang of regret. ’If only we had recruited Lin Qi into our Azure Sky First Institute during the entrance exams.’

But that was hindsight. Back then, anyone would have chosen Huo Wanyang, who was like a reincarnated Lv Bu.

No one would have dared to gamble on the uncertain future of the tenth-ranked student—Lin Qi.

This included Dean Liu of the Azure Sky Sixth Institute himself.

You could only say it was all down to luck!

He wasn’t the only one; the others were also extremely surprised.

"If he’s mastered a Little Divine Power, then defeating Han Zhen isn’t so unbelievable. That must have been his trump card."

The purple-clad woman from the Ninth Institute spoke, her heart filled with envy.

"Congratulations, Old Liu. You really lucked out with a top-level genius like Lin Qi." The other deans began to congratulate Dean Liu.

Dean Liu chuckled and said, "I just got a bit lucky, that’s all."

But beneath his loose sleeves, his fists were clenched tightly, suppressing his intense excitement.

"Old Mu, congratulations to you, too. You’ve got a fine disciple," he said, congratulating Mu Hong who was beside him.

Mu Hong, dressed all in black, could no longer hide his joy and replied with a smile:

"I have to thank you, Old Liu, for sending this genius my way."
