Chapter 521 - 229: War God Intent! The Strongest Gang Condensation Realm in History

Yi Jiugao spoke calmly, "With a Qi and Blood index of over forty thousand, plus his masterful power control and martial skill, it’s not surprising for an ordinary person at the mid-stage of the Divine Realm to be at a slight disadvantage in a pure clash of strength."

Hearing this, Li Kai Nian felt a wave of absurdity wash over him.

’Someone in the Gang Condensation Realm got the upper hand in a contest of strength against a Divine Realm expert?’

’Is that something a fucking human would even say?!’

Meanwhile, on the battlefield.

Zhou Ke shook his slightly numb right hand. As he looked at Lin Ye, a hint of solemnity finally entered his gaze.

"Very solid martial arts, and astonishing strength."

"Examinee Lin Ye, be careful. I’m getting serious now."

The instant the words fell, Lin Ye felt his mind go hazy. The scene before him seemed to distort for a moment!

It was in that moment of distraction!

A dazzling blade of light had already torn through his defensive stance, slashing straight for his face!

Alarm bells screamed in Lin Ye’s mind. In a flash, he kicked off the ground and shot backward in a rather desperate retreat, narrowly avoiding the fatal strike!

However, before he could steady himself, a second and then a third blade of light followed, relentless and lethal, one after another!

The overwhelming tide of attacks was suffocating him!

Lin Ye quickly sensed that something was wrong.

He felt as if something was suppressing him; his body’s speed seemed to have slowed considerably.

’No...’

’My speed hasn’t slowed.’

Lin Ye quickly analyzed the key point.

’My reactions are slower!’

A sense of oppression originating from his Spirit, even his very soul, followed him like a shadow—it was everywhere!

As the battle continued, phantoms even began to flash before his eyes without warning, severely affecting his judgment of the situation.

Soon, Lin Ye was forced into a constant retreat. He could only rely on his superhuman combat instincts to barely hold on amidst the torrential storm of attacks.

In the observation hall, Zhu Mingyi finally breathed a small sigh of relief upon seeing this.

This was the most fundamental difference between the Divine Realm and the Gang Condensation Realm.

The Primordial Spirit of the Divine Realm held absolute suppressive power over a Spirit that had not yet transformed.

Under this kind of spiritual and soul-level pressure, one’s thoughts would slow, reactions would dull, and one might even experience hallucinations.

Zhu Mingyi said, "Even a prodigy like Lin Ye will be completely suppressed by this kind of higher-dimensional attack."

However, no sooner had he spoken...

...than the situation on the screen took an unexpected turn!

Zhou Ke, who was in the middle of a fierce pursuit, suddenly had a dazed and hazy look in his eyes. His assault faltered for a moment!

It was in that one moment!

Lin Ye seized the opportunity. His spear moved like a dragon as he instantly broke free of the suppression and thrust back at Zhou Ke’s chest!

The lethal edge of the spear was about to hit him when Zhou Ke snapped out of it as if jolted from a dream. His expression changed drastically as he retreated explosively, barely dodging the heart-piercing thrust!

He steadied himself and looked at Lin Ye, his eyes filled with disbelief.

’What happened?’

’Why did I suddenly feel so sleepy just now?’

Of course, he didn’t know.

This was a temporary skill Lin Ye had used to counter and neutralize the Primordial Spirit suppression of the Divine Realm.

A temporary skill he had also used.

Soul-Catching and Dream-Planting!

What surprised Lin Ye, however, was that...

...this officer named Zhou Ke, just like Ah Qiang before him...

...was only affected by his Soul-Catching and Dream-Planting for a single moment.

In a flash, Lin Ye’s counterattack had arrived.

But strangely, Zhou Ke found himself once again falling into that drowsy, muddle-headed state!

By the time the bone-chilling sense of crisis jolted him awake again, the tip of Dark Night was less than half a foot from his throat!

Zhou Ke roared and, for the first time, was forced to use his Protective Gang Sha!

A thick layer of solid, orange-red Gang Sha instantly covered his throat!

CLANG!

The spear tip struck the Gang Sha with pinpoint accuracy, letting out a sharp crack, but it failed to break through.

His strike having failed, Lin Ye immediately pulled back, putting distance between himself and Zhou Ke.

’The Gang Sha of a Divine Realm expert...’

’The quality is too high!’

Lin Ye could clearly feel that it wasn’t just a matter of it being solid or not.

’His opponent’s Gang Sha seems to be fused with a unique "will" or "true intent." That must be the key to its indestructibility!’

’It seems the signature abilities of the Divine Realm are the suppression from their Primordial Spirit and the all-around enhancement that comes from the complete fusion of their spirit, body, and Gang Sha.’

Back in the observation hall, however, an uproar had erupted.

"What’s going on? What just happened?"

"Didn’t that Divine Realm instructor just use his Primordial Spirit to suppress Lin Ye and dull his reactions?"

"How did the tables turn so suddenly? Now the instructor is the one who’s dazed?"

"Am I seeing things? The first one forced to use their Gang Sha for defense... was actually the instructor?!"

Zhu Mingyi’s expression was a bit awkward.

A second ago, he had just confidently declared that Lin Ye would be completely suppressed by the Primordial Spirit.

The very next second, Lin Ye used a similar, even stranger technique to suppress the Divine Realm instructor in return.

’This kid...’

’How many more fucking surprises are you hiding that I don’t know about?’
