Lin Yi and his senior sister, Wei Shengtian, begin their long-awaited battle. Lin Yi uses a powerful laser cannon skill, but Wei Shengtian defends herself with a protective shield and then uses a skill to enhance her physique and speed. She charges Lin Yi, nearly striking him, but he narrowly dodges and prepares his next move.

Lin Yi's abilities are not well-known to the general populace.

Unbeknownst to Wei Shengtian, at the precise moment Lin Yi was enveloped in golden light, he had entered a state of absolute invincibility against any opponent who had not yet mastered the Power of the Primordial or spells below Tier Ten.

With remarkable swiftness, Lin Yi closed the distance and immediately unleashed his Tier Seven skill, [Heaven-Obliterating Hammer].

The visibly tangible golden Source Power began to condense rapidly, manifesting as armored contours around Wei Shengtian’s hammer.

Her brawny arm, swollen to immense proportions, gripped the colossal hammer and swung it in a graceful arc, creating a sharp sound of air being torn apart, accompanied by visible spatial distortions rippling outward.

Students of Shenxiao are all considered prodigies. Since the Blue Star Will grew stronger, everyone has been intensely focused on improving their own power, leaving this particular arena relatively untouched for a considerable time.

While each individual felt a surge of pride in their enhanced abilities, believing themselves to be uniquely chosen, they soon realized that this significant enhancement seemed to extend beyond just themselves.

Consider the formidable power displayed by Wei Shengtian, the top-ranked student. The sheer, terrifying Source Power channeled through the [Heaven-Obliterating Hammer] would likely pose a considerable challenge for even average War Gods to confront directly.

The combination of explosively bulging muscles and the fearsome might unleashed by immense Source Power is precisely the kind of situation that ordinary War Gods would typically seek to evade.

It is important to remember that this was merely a Tier Seven skill, not a Forbidden Curse!

Observing the radiant golden luminescence of the Heaven-Obliterating Hammer, countless Shenxiao students displayed reactions of palpable excitement.

This single hammer strike not only challenged Wei Shengtian's formidable status as the head sister but also seemed to crush the hopes harbored within the hearts of the assembled Shenxiao students.

The crowd had grown accustomed to witnessing scenes where powerful individuals effortlessly subjugated those weaker than them.

However, when an individual who could only be considered ordinary in comparison to Lin Yi swung that world-shattering hammer at him with all her might, every teacher and student present at Shenxiao found themselves deeply invested emotionally due to Wei Shengtian's desperate effort.

If this single blow could even slightly mar Lin Yi's clothing, or cause him to exhibit even a fleeting moment of discomposure, it would have been deemed a significant achievement.

Everyone had become accustomed to seeing prominent figures dominate others; regardless of how imposing Lin Yi might have appeared, the outcome felt justifiable in the eyes of the onlookers.

Nonetheless, the narrative of the underdog overcoming a superior opponent possesses a strong capacity to engage the audience.

A collective anticipation built, with many hoping that Wei Shengtian might, just possibly, manage to push Lin Yi back a single step.

Alas, Lin Yi proved to be exceptionally steadfast, not easily moved.

The mountain-splitting hammer connected directly with Lin Yi’s head, and in that instant, the surrounding golden light intensified further.

However, the anticipated shockwave failed to materialize; Lin Yi remained firmly planted, unyielding, while the potent recoil force completely numbed Wei Shengtian’s arm, causing her to involuntarily release her grip on the hammer.

Wei Shengtian found herself unable to resist as a spectral hand suddenly materialized and firmly encircled her delicate neck.

"Senior sister, be cautious, my hand is not to be trifled with."

The very instant Lin Yi’s words concluded, an irresistible force erupted, nullifying all of Wei Shengtian's supplementary enhancements.

Wei Shengtian’s muscles, which had noticeably swollen just moments before, rapidly receded, returning to their normal, proportionate size.

A profound sense of helplessness, stemming from the dissolution of her power's effects, permeated Wei Shengtian's entire being.

"So, the disparity between us is truly this immense?"

A blush coloring her cheeks, Wei Shengtian managed to force these words out with great difficulty.

Initially, she had harbored the hope that by uttering these words, her junior would perhaps show some leniency. However, Lin Yi's response was solely a fierce, decisive attack.

Bam!

Their figures transformed into streaks of light, violently impacting the ground below. A thunderous sound accompanied their descent, causing fragments of the incredibly resilient arena floor to fly in all directions.

This devastating impact shattered the resolve of numerous Shenxiao students.

Such a terrifying strike, landing with pinpoint accuracy, yet it couldn't even dislodge a single strand of Lin Yi's hair; was Lin Yi truly invincible?

Observing Wei Shengtian's rapidly dwindling health bar, the passionate fervor of the Shenxiao teachers and students instantly evaporated.

The dream of bridging the chasm through diligent cultivation and becoming a celebrated hero of Blue Star had been so effortlessly shattered by Lin Yi's offensive action.

Their hearts sank.

Their breaths caught.

Had the slightest exertion from that seemingly insurmountable mountain proven so overwhelmingly terrifying?

As the dust settled, Lin Yi remained standing in the same spot, his expression unreadable, his gaze fixed upon the battered young woman amidst the debris.

Did I perhaps strike with too much force?

It shouldn't be the case; the feedback from my Eye of All-Seeing indicated that Wei Shengtian did not possess such fragility.

Noticing the student's lost focus, Lan Ruoxi, the dean, shook her head with a sense of resignation.

Why would such excessive force be necessary between fellow students?

As this thought crossed her mind, a familiar surge of healing energy silently emanated from Lin Yi's body.

In the very next moment, Wei Shengtian, who had lost consciousness, experienced a sudden return of lucidity in her eyes.

"Junior brother, this senior sister isn’t finished yet! Let’s continue!"

Rising swiftly, she broke away from Lin Yi at maximum speed, rapidly chanting skills.

Tier Eight skill [Holy Hammer True Form]

Forbidden Curse [Illusion Destruction]!

Since his awakening from being knocked unconscious, Wei Shengtian had gained a new appreciation for the concept of battle.

Both his skill chanting speed and combat reaction speed had seen significant improvements.

This was the outcome Lin Yi most desired to witness.

Indeed, risking one’s life in battle is the paramount method for enhancing one’s strength.

Given the vast disparity in strength between the two combatants, the Eye of All-Seeing could instantly decipher the details of Wei Shengtian’s abilities.

The Tier Eight skill [Holy Hammer True Form] bestows the user with a Holy Hammer weapon, granting them fifteen seconds of invincibility. During this period, they are impervious to all attacks below the level of a Forbidden Curse.

Concurrently, the user’s offensive capabilities transform into true damage, their speed dramatically increases, and their life force is restored by fifty percent of the damage dealt, while damage taken is reduced by 90%.

The Forbidden Curse, Illusion Destruction, elevates the user’s maximum life value, attack power, speed, and recovery rate by a staggering 1000%. While active, it provides immunity to all abnormal status effects below Tier Ten. Furthermore, every attack deals two additional damage instances, each equal to 200% of the base damage, and guarantees a 0.1-second stun effect on the target.

Wei Shengtian’s skills might not feature an abundance of flashy effects.

However, upon closer inspection, the skill attributes are exceptionally potent.

In terms of damage output, recovery potential, and control capabilities, everything has been pushed to its absolute limit.

Considering solo combat prowess alone, it’s improbable that even among the War Gods of Xia, Blues could find skills as formidable as these.

Before Lin Yi could even process what was happening, Wei Shengtian, enveloped in armor forged from Holy Light, had already surged towards him.

That small, white fist unexpectedly contained the Supreme Law of Infinite, a power nearing the Harmonization Layer!

Whoa!

Is this senior sister’s strength truly this overwhelming?

Could this be attributed to the enhanced Blue Star Will, or has the top student from this prestigious academy always been this formidable?

Moreover, it seems rather unusual that this top student, affiliated with Nuwa Academy—an institution renowned for cultivating support-focused professionals—possesses predominantly offensive high-tier skills.

This particular aspect bears a strong resemblance to Lin Yi; both are forging unconventional paths.
