C105 I Have to Use a Part of My Strength!!
"It's actually a battle physique!"
"Donglai Chang'an is already a top-tier Fifth Level genius. With the addition of this battle physique, facing off against a peak Fifth Level genius wouldn't pose a problem..."
"It's worth noting that battle physiques are quite rare, even among Sixth Level geniuses..."
Some human experts remarked, filled with astonishment. Had Donglai Chang'an not belonged to the Donglai Family, they would have undoubtedly exhausted every resource to recruit him...
In the midst of the arena, Donglai Chang'an had become somewhat frenzied.
His battle physique was exceptionally fearsome. Though it wasn't a bloodthirsty divine power, its controlling nature was rarer and more formidable!
At the very least, Chu Yi was feeling increasingly constrained.
Chu Yi was somewhat frustrated.
After all, Donglai Chang'an was a prodigy who had mastered the power of metal. While the opponent possessed a single attribute, which on Earth would be akin to a genetic warrior of a single lineage, in actuality, this single attribute was far more fearsome than having three or even four attributes.
The power of metal was inherently aggressive. Those who had mastered it were known to be fearsome in their ruthlessness.
Put simply, these warriors who had grasped the power of metal had invested all their skill points into their offensive capabilities.
But who could have predicted that Donglai Chang'an's battle physique would specialize in control?
Control-based powers were loathsome, and this held true not only in the current world but also in the Immortal Demon World.
Chu Yi felt nauseated facing such control.
His punch, which appeared to be executed flawlessly, was reduced to half its strength under the influence of the divine power—and even that wasn't guaranteed to land.
When his fist neared Donglai Chang'an, the battle physique's divine power would unleash its might. Although it controlled Chu Yi for just an instant, that instant was sufficient.
In the clash of truly exceptional geniuses, victory or defeat often hinges on a single moment.
Thus, a scenario unfolded that left Chu Yi feeling utterly stifled.
Even if he managed to strike Donglai Chang'an, the inflicted damage was negligible. In contrast, each of Donglai Chang'an's attacks dealt significant harm to Chu Yi.
"The battle has ended..."
A voice from the Human Race spoke, laden with regret.
Was Chu Yi strong?
Yes, incredibly powerful!
Had it not been for the unleashing of his battle body, Donglai Chang'an wouldn't stand a chance against Chu Yi.
While Chu Yi's initial tactics were seen as underhanded by some, his genius was indisputable.
Back then, Donglai Chang'an was no match for Chu Yi, who dominated in both strength and momentum, grinding his opponent into the dust.
"Even after Donglai Chang'an manifested his Battle Body, he still couldn't best Chu Yi."
"That's something I'm quite curious about too..."
Despite the formidable nature of the Battle Body, it was insufficient against Chu Yi.
Even though Donglai Chang'an's Battle Body wasn't designed for combat, a Battle Body is still a Battle Body, providing a significant and sometimes terrifying boost.
"However, everything changed with the emergence of the Battle Body Divine Ability."
"It must be said, the Battle Body Divine Ability is incredibly overpowered..."
The Battle Body Divine Ability was the game-changer. Without it, Donglai Chang'an might have been utterly defeated by Chu Yi by now.
"Chu Yi has done quite well for himself. He might even have the potential to challenge the upper echelons of the Five-star talents in the future."
"Sadly, it looks like he's done for this time..."
Many believe that Chu Yi has met his end this time around.
That is, assuming Chu Yi has no more aces up his sleeve.
But even if Chu Yi did have something hidden, many doubt its usefulness, considering he's up against the Battle Body Divine Ability.
That power is among the most elite in the universe, an unbeatable force among peers.
"Die!"
Donglai Chang'an's eyes were still bloodshot, his once suave demeanor replaced by a snarling rage.
For Donglai Chang'an, maintaining his cool mattered, but it paled in comparison to pulverizing the scoundrel before him.
The deception and mockery he had endured were unforgivable in Donglai Chang'an's eyes.
Thus, having played his strongest hand, Donglai Chang'an's sole focus was to obliterate Chu Yi!
Only then could he achieve peace of mind.
Another punch landed, and in an instant, Chu Yi's chest collapsed, blood spilling from his mouth.
Chu Yi was sent flying backward. Before he could even rise, Donglai Chang'an had already reappeared.
At this point, Donglai Chang'an had cast aside any concerns about martial ethics with Chu Yi. His mind was consumed by a single thought: to ruthlessly crush Chu Yi.
Thus, Donglai Chang'an's every strike was merciless.
In just a short time, there wasn't a single part of Chu Yi's body left unscathed.
Blood drenched every inch of him, his condition so pitiable it was difficult for onlookers to watch.
Yet, Chu Yi's state remained surprisingly strong. The audience saw no hint of defeat on his face; instead, they were astonished by the excitement gleaming in his eyes.
Yes, excitement!
Against all odds, Chu Yi was still thrilled by the battle!
Had Chu Yi been a long-established top-tier fighter, his reaction might have made sense.
Many warriors thrive on combat, growing more exhilarated the bleaker their situation becomes.
But this wasn't expected of Chu Yi.
No one could believe Chu Yi would be such a madman.
"Kill, kill, kill!"
Donglai Chang'an was in a frenzy. Another punch came, piercing straight through Chu Yi.
It appeared Chu Yi had lost his ability to fight.
Chu Yi had intended to use this moment, offering his body as bait for a deadly counterstrike against Donglai Chang'an. But despite Donglai Chang'an's near madness, he remained alert.
The moment Chu Yi attempted a counterattack, the battle body divine skill in the void had already re-targeted him.
This gave Donglai Chang'an ample time to respond.
And so, Chu Yi faced utter defeat.
He collapsed to the ground, his blood staining the earth beneath him a deep red.
The sight of his defeat sent shivers through the crowd.
They knew Chu Yi had lost.
It wasn't a matter of if, but that he had already been defeated.
Had Chu Yi not been so formidable, he might well have been dead...
With his chest now pierced by Donglai Chang'an's punch, the latter did not pursue further killing.
He was gradually regaining consciousness.
Observing Chu Yi, Donglai Chang'an could tell that his opponent was nearly out of combat strength.
"Do you realize?"
"I seldom get this angry."
"And yet, you've managed to provoke such fury in me. That's quite a feat."
"But you're already aware of the consequences..."
Donglai Chang'an's gaze was icy as he stared at Chu Yi.
As the scion of the Donglai Family and one of the top three Invincible Geniuses in its storied history, Donglai Chang'an carried a sense of pride that was uniquely his own.
To him, Chu Yi's earlier taunts were utterly unacceptable.
Chu Yi was at a loss for words.
He hadn't intended any mockery; he was merely stating the facts.
But at this point, explanations were futile.
He tried to rise, inadvertently aggravating the myriad wounds on his body, causing him to wince in pain.
He was no stranger to pain and could withstand it, but that didn't mean the pain would simply vanish.
"You're quite merciless..."
Chu Yi said, shaking his head as he looked at Donglai Chang'an.
He had previously thought of Donglai Chang'an as calm and collected, but he hadn't expected such ferocity.
Chu Yi didn't see anything wrong with that approach. Hesitation in the face of an adversary was nothing short of foolishness and a death wish.
Donglai Chang'an remained silent, his cold gaze fixed on Chu Yi. He raised his arm, seemingly ready to deliver the final blow and end the fight.
In Donglai Chang'an's view, Chu Yi stood no chance of retaliation. Any hidden cards Chu Yi might have held were now irrelevant.
With his body having sustained such a severe beating, how much of his remaining strength could he possibly muster?
The outcome of the battle seemed inevitable.
"Truthfully, I just wanted to engage in a fair fight with you, without any mockery," Chu Yi explained earnestly.
"Of course, whether you believe me is your choice. But it seems rather pointless to discuss it now."
Chu Yi gazed intently at Donglai Chang'an.
"I have come to respect your strength."
"In my eyes, you've earned the right to see me unleash some of my true power..."
Upon hearing Chu Yi's declaration, Donglai Chang'an's eyebrows gave a slight twitch.
He had already sacrificed his arm and had held back his final, lethal strike.
Donglai Chang'an was curious to see if Chu Yi was just talking tough or if he truly had the skills to back it up.
This was, after all, merely a competitive fight. While winning was significant, for Donglai Chang'an, the experience of a fulfilling battle was far more valuable than the victory itself.
Chu Yi's smile reemerged.
In that instant, the countless spectators in the stands witnessed something remarkable.
They observed numerous points of starlight materializing on the platform.
Initially, they were mere specks, but in a flash, the heavens seemed to be blanketed with an infinite number of stars!
The stars swirled around him, radiating with vibrant colors and stunning beauty.
Then, in the next instant, the myriad of stars spiraled simultaneously and rapidly merged into Chu Yi's body!
Just as the countless fearsome edges had penetrated Donglai Chang'an's body before, now the frenzied influx of starlight surged into Chu Yi. And in a mere moment, a formidable presence and energy pulsated from Chu Yi's physique!
