Chapter 479: A Breakthrough? No Problem!

Chu Yunfan’s basic staff techniques quickly reached the Impeccable Stage, which meant that he could enter the stage of real combat.

Previously, Chu Yunfan’s defense had been airtight. He relied on his physical fitness to hold back Jiang Pengfei.

The purpose of martial skills was to increase one’s own strength, just like an amplifier. But no matter how much the increase was, it was still reliant on one’s base strength.

Chu Yunfan grinned. “Jiang Pengfei, the game ends here. You claimed I wouldn’t be able to use staff techniques. Well then, take a look.”

Boom!

Chu Yunfan made his move. The black-gold staff in his hand swept toward Jiang Pengfei.

Jiang Pengfei did not dare lower his guard. Originally, he had not taken Chu Yunfan to heart. Just as he said, although they were both students of Federation University, the difference in strength between them could be greater than a whole stage. Just because they were students of Federation University did not mean they were on the same starting line.

However, after exchanging blows, Jiang Pengfei discovered that his deduction was completely wrong. Chu Yunfan’s strength was not inferior to his one bit. In fact, he was slightly stronger than Jiang Pengfei.

Chu Yunfan was relying on a basic staff technique that he was completely unfamiliar with, yet he managed to beat Jiang Pengfei to a standstill.

This made all of Jiang Pengfei’s previous deductions turn into jokes. Without a doubt, as Chu Yunfan’s mastery of the staff continued to improve, his flaws lessened. He was even able to launch continuous counterattacks.

...

Jiang Pengfei could not understand how Chu Yunfan had improved so quickly. Just a few months ago, when he was already in the Acquired Stage, Chu Yunfan was only in the Energy Refinement Stage. Now, Chu Yunfan has caught up to him.

Jiang Pengfei was at the peak of the fifth level of the Acquired Stage. He was ranked third among all the university students. How could Chu Yunfan be more powerful than him?

But even so, Jiang Pengfei had already reached this point. He could not back down now.

Zzt!

Chu Yunfan’s staff smashed the air into pieces. It was just a simple action, but it contained a terrifying power.

Clang!

The staff smashed into the Blood Saber, setting off a terrifying tide.

When Chu Yunfan made his move, the battle instantly escalated. The rising violent True Energy gave the crowd no choice but to retreat, unable to get close at all. There was fear and trepidation in their eyes.

Most of the students in the crowd were only in the Energy Refinement Stage. In front of a battle of this level, they felt that if they were grazed by the waves of True Energy rolling out, they would be seriously injured.

Many could not follow the battle between the two anymore. They could only see the sky filled with attacks.

“This is terrifying. The Acquired Stage is indeed much stronger than us.”

“Forget about Jiang Pengfei. He’s ranked third—second only to Mei Haiyun and Dong Fanghao. But Chu Yunfan has made a huge comeback. With just a staff, he’s able to suppress Jiang Pengfei to this extent. If he used his sword, I’m afraid Jiang Pengfei would not last very long.”

“This year’s Dao Conference will be even more exciting than last year’s. The champion of last year’s Dao Conference was from an overseas sect. This year, we should be able to win it back.”

“Hate! Hate! Hate! Kill! Kill! Kill!”

The battle had reached the point of madness, and Jiang Pengfei had gone mad. Chu Yunfan’s attacks were too terrifying. The staff that was smashed down so casually made his arm go numb. He had been forced to such an extent.

All of the True Energy in Jiang Pengfei’s body began to churn and then swept out toward Chu Yunfan. Vast amounts of hate surged through his head and began to affect his mind. He had exceeded his limits. He had been affected by his own cultivation method.

If things continued this way, Jiang Pengfei would be overcome by madness. Under normal circ.u.mstances, with Jiang Pengfei’s willpower, it would be impossible for such a situation to occur. Yet, Chu Yunfan’s appearance had broken his understanding. It caused Jiang Pengfei’s mind to fracture. He was then affected by his own boundless hatred, or even controlled by it.

“It’s time to end this,” Chu Yunfan said calmly. The staff in his hand once again smashed down fiercely. The Blood Saber in Jiang Pengfei’s hand was instantly blown away.

Everyone saw that Jiang Pengfei’s palm was already bleeding profusely. Only then did everyone finally understand what Jiang Pengfei had endured in the collision just now.

When they looked at Chu Yunfan again, their gazes were completely different from before. Chu Yunfan held the staff in one hand and casually swung it down. It held such great power.

Just when everyone thought that the victor had been decided and that Chu Yunfan was definitely going to win...

Boom!

The aura in Jiang Pengfei’s body rose to another level. Under the driving force of that boundless hatred, his cultivation had forcefully rushed from the peak of the fifth level of the Acquired Stage to the sixth.

Everyone was stunned. Breaking through on the battlefield was a legendary thing, but only a few people were able to do so. Most people’s breakthroughs would only happen when the conditions were exactly right.

Chu Yunfan watched and instantly understood. Jiang Pengfei must have been stuck at the peak of the fifth level of the Acquired Stage for some time now. With the help of this great battle, he had managed to break through.

Chu Yunfan was speechless. He had become the catalyst for Jiang Pengfei’s breakthrough.

“Hahaha, Chu Yunfan, you’re dead meat. It was heaven’s arrangement for me to break through. I’ll let you taste the greatest fear in the world!”

Jiang Pengfei laughed maniacally. After being suppressed by Chu Yunfan for a long time, he suddenly broke through. The tables were about to turn. He could not hold back and burst out with maniacal laughter.

Jiang Pengfei was not as calm and in control as before. At the end of the day, he was barely out of his teenage years.

Swoosh!

Jiang Pengfei suddenly pounced at Chu Yunfan. Although the saber in his hand had been blown away, his b.l.o.o.d.y hands turned into a pair of eagle claws and clawed at Chu Yunfan.

Anything that was caught by these claws, even steel, would be torn into two halves.

“Is he going to make a comeback—ugh!” a student screamed out in alarm. But before he barely finished his sentence, it was as if his throat had gotten stuck.

Before Jiang Pengfei could touch Chu Yunfan, Chu Yunfan suddenly retracted his staff and swept it out.

Jiang Pengfei grunted and he flew backward. He got swept away like a ball and landed on the ground.

There was only a thin line between Jiang Pengfei’s breakthrough and counterattack to his instant defeat!
