Chapter 290: Chapter 180: The Fourth Great Limit Opens, Number One Among the Top Hundred of Heng Province!_2

In terms of skill, ten Ying Qis would not be a match for Shen Changyuan, but a life can only end one way—death upon defeat!

“If young Qin wins the top spot in the Hundred Powers Tournament, I would have no regrets. It’s time to settle this old score with the Ying family, so Ying Lin doesn’t keep stirring up trouble.”

Old Zhang’s eyelids drooped. At his age, he was buried up to his neck in yellow earth, surviving on sheer willpower.

The peers of his generation, those who died, died, those who went into hiding, hid, hardly any were left.

“If Nanhuang Daoist School could produce a Scorching Sun, my life would be worth it.”

…

…

Qin Shi’s figure resembled a scorching sun, the reserves of his Cultivation Furnace erupted, like a sun leaping out of a sea of clouds, radiating intense light and heat.

His current Life Force was roughly around eighty-eight points, ever since he started the wilderness trials, he had been continually fighting, honing, stimulating the vitality of his flesh and blood.

“Just one more step, and I can push through, jump to ninety points, and unlock the Fourth Major Limit!”

Qin Shi’s Spirit was intensely focused, his eyes shone as if they held bright lights, appearing extremely dazzling.

Before he made his move, he whispered:

“Old Zhou, if you don’t get up, you’re going to get beaten.”

Defeated Zhou Yuanchen’s eyes were hollow as he slowly raised his head and gazed at Qin Shi, who was like a rising sun, a hint of a relieved smile suddenly appearing.

To defeat young Qin before him and take first place in the Hundred Powers Tournament, even if he lost the sponsorship of Entropy Sea Bank, he could still rely on the resources poured in by the Central City Education Department and the emphasis placed on him by the Martial Arts Association to minimize his losses.

Zhou Yuanchen took a deep breath, countless images flashed quickly through his mind, those were his memories from childhood to adulthood.

There was no beauty, no warmth, no parental protection and care.

“Study, do exercises, cultivate, cram classes, training courses… I have always grown under heavy pressure, already accustomed! No matter what kind of predicament, it won’t break me!”

Zhou Yuanchen reignited his fighting spirit, the solidified Life Crystal within him trembled in an instant!

Threads of light, like tangible brilliance, illuminated his flesh and blood, emerging from his body!

A cold moon filled with chilling intent swiftly moved towards Qin Shi!

Boom!

The Ten Directions Frost Demon Path, one hundred percent activated!

“Such speed!”

Qin Shi only felt a flash before his eyes, Zhou Yuanchen’s figure became blurred, left as a residue on his retina.

But the opponent’s fist was already punching straight toward his face.

The surrounding airflow seemed to feel the outpouring extreme cold energy, condensing and freezing with a “crack” into crystal shards, which were then shredded by the fierce wind, exploding into a shower of powder scattered everywhere!

Thump!

Qin Shi crossed his hands to protect his head, barely blocking Zhou Yuanchen’s punch in time.

His arm bones, hard as steel, trembled slightly, almost cracking like porcelain, nearly fracturing!

His entire body was smashed down, his heels digging into the ground, forcing out spider web-like cracks!

“The physical quality within the Specialized Domain is indeed extraordinary!”

Qin Shi operated his Cultivation Furnace, the vigorous vitality of his flesh and blood filled his whole body, instantly healing his minor injuries as good as new.

He supported Zhou Yuanchen’s heavy punch, the heat from his internal breath billowing into smoke and dispelling the frost attached to his arm.

Then, he reversed his grip, grabbing Zhou Yuanchen’s wrist, like a giant snake turning over to fiercely bite, preparing to employ a grappling move.

“What a sturdy footing!”

Shock appeared in Zhou Yuanchen’s eyes. Despite losing the support of Entropy Sea Bank, his physical qualities within the Specialized Domain were fundamentally solid.

Yet this punch did not manage to shake Qin Shi’s Mortal Body’s center of gravity, nor collapse the opponent’s stance to gain the upper hand.

“The Foundation values of the Old Martial Sect are indeed absurd!”

With the Formless State enhancing him, Zhou Yuanchen’s combat awareness was extremely keen. The muscles in his two arms coiled tightly, large tendons pulsing, like springs compressed to the extreme.

With a boom, as if a steel cannon was fired, he attacked again fiercely!

Qin Shi’s grappling move was instantly broken, his chest felt like it was hit by a rapidly spinning, massive lead ball!

His body bent backward, and his chest flattened and contracted, causing the torrential punch power to miss, transferring most of the damage away.

“A genius in the Specialized Domain is indeed powerful!”

Blood trickled from the corner of Qin Shi’s mouth, experiencing this intensity of battle for the first time.

Zhou Yuanchen had no obvious weaknesses in combat awareness, on-the-spot reactions, and general physical qualities, excelling in some areas. During the two brief encounters, he exhibited a tendency to suppress Qin Shi.

“Young Qin, with the level of your Life Force, it is impossible to shake me!”

Having emerged from his depression and quickly recovered his Dao Heart, Zhou Yuanchen felt his Life Force becoming more focused and concentrated.

This allowed every one of his attacks to exert one hundred percent of his strength.

“I’m not so sure about that, Old Zhou.”

Qin Shi relied on his Mortal Body, which had broken the Three Great Limits, to go head-to-head with Zhou Yuanchen.

After two rounds, he had already figured out the opponent’s style.

Next, it’s his turn!

Qin Shi’s five fingers clenched, the Furnace within him seemed to break through some shackles, making the blazing sun formed by his overflowing Life Force even more glaring.

A strong wind blew the strands of hair in front of his forehead, his black trench coat flaring backward, and the broad and incredibly solid “mountaintop” seemed to be compressed and shattered, whirling around.

Hundred Phases Refining Stance!

Qin Shi opened with the Hong Sheng’s True Inheritance, swallowing the strong wind like a steel knife into the punch, transforming into a vast vortex radiating a horrifying Cutting Force!

Zhou Yuanchen’s eyelid twitched, sensing danger, but before he could react, Qin Shi’s figure, the hem of his coat pulled straight, streaked towards him like a sharp line.
