“Arrogant!”
Purity knew that she was no match for Wang Yu. However, she still dared to raise her spear against an opponent like him. Clearly, she was a person that would not succumb to adversities and had her own pride to uphold.
Upon hearing Wang Yu’s statement, Purity was infuriated. She brandished her spear once more and dashed towards Wang Yu.
Purity had a well-proportioned body and was blessed with naturally good looks. Her body danced along with the movement of her spear, displaying a spectacle that was mesmerising to see.
However, seeing Purity sending a flurry of spear strikes at Wang Yu, enveloping him in it, was akin to witnessing a storm raining down upon a lone tree. Her spear strikes came at Wang Yu from all directions.
However, facing the flurry of attacks, Wang Yu remained firm like a mountain. The Dragon Halberd in Wang Yu’s hands unhurriedly met the incoming attacks. Even though the seemingly random sweeps and arcs drawn with it seemed simple and brutish, the halberd somehow manages to accurately parry Purity’s attacks every single time. From the beginning till the end, Wang Yu did not take a single step away from his original position.
Using the simplest of moves to parry the heaviest attacks!
Upon seeing the realm of spearmanship that Wang Yu was displaying, all of the experts in the martial arts circle observing the battle turned pale in shock.
The people there were all renowned and experienced martial artists. Thus, even if they did not specifically train in spearmanship, they still had a certain degree of understanding towards it. At the end of the day, all the different branches of martial arts still originated from the same origin. When one reached the realm of martial arts that these experts were at, the weapon placed in their hands no longer made much of a difference anymore.
Even though Purity’s attacks were sharp and fierce, the experts there were confident that they would be able to defend against these attacks relatively well. However, upon seeing Wang Yu’s spearmanship, they had to admit that there were only a rare few in the martial arts circle that would be able to replicate what he just did and defend so efficiently against Purity’s attacks.
Wang Yu did truly live up to his reputation as a heaven-defying genius.
Not just the martial arts practitioners, even the audience that had no knowledge of martial arts were stunned silly by the fight between the two.
Even though from the start till now, neither party had yet to unleash an ability, and neither of them had received any damage. Regardless of how ignorant everyone was, they were at least able to discern the level of skill both players possessed, from a gamers’ perspective, from their ability to dodge, predict and parry these attacks .
The two continued exchanging blows, with the attacker resembling that of a relentless wave, ruthlessly crashing down upon its target, and the defender resembling that of an immovable mountain, unwavering and firm.
At this moment, everyone had the same thought in their hearts, “F*ck, are we… are we still playing a game? Why do I feel as if their characters are that from an online martial arts novel?”

From the moment Purity started displaying her spearmanship until the end, she was still unable to break through Wang Yu’s defences, resulting in her starting to feel a little restless at the current situation. Furthermore, the strikes from Wang Yu’s Dragon Halberd were heavy and suppressive. Thus, shortly after, Purity’s spearmanship started becoming chaotic, and in her hurriedness, Purity grabbed onto the bottom of the spear shaft and shook it, unleashing nine spear shadows.
[Nine Dragon Cloud Soaring Spear]!!
“Haha!”
With a faint smile on his face, Wang Yu’s left hand held onto the halberd as his right violently grabbed onto the incoming spear, dispelling the nine spear shadows.
“Get down!”
With a loud cry, Wang Yu viciously yanked upwards at the spear in his hand. As Purity did not have enough time to withdraw her momentum, she was flung into the air along with the spear.
“This, this is impossible…”
The pupil of Purity’s eyes narrowed as she frantically released her grip on the spear. With a twist of her body in mid air, she released a punch towards Wang Yu’s head.
Upon seeing the oncoming fist, Wang Yu breathed in a deep breath of air before viciously stomping his foot on the ground.
“Ha!!”
Following Wang Yu’s cry, his right elbow abruptly shot out.
At the same time, seeming as if Purity was purposely collaborating with Wang Yu’s movements, she suddenly appeared right in front of Wang Yu’s elbow.
“Boom!”
With a loud collision, before Purity’s fist could land on Wang Yu’s head, his right elbow had firmly smashed onto Purity’s chest.
In the game, there was no such thing as being able to neutralise the force of a strike towards the chest just because one had bigger breasts. With this elbow strike from Wang Yu, Purity did not even get the opportunity to respond to the blow before she turned into a ray of white light.
It was best not to use martial arts against Wang Yu. In comparison with abilities, Wang Yu was more adept at dealing with the former.
Unpleasantly speaking, Wang Yu had a greater understanding of Purity’s moves compared to herself. By allowing the enemy to gain such an understanding of oneself, the battle would inevitably be lost.

The entire arena descended into complete silence for a moment as no one had expected such an outcome from the very beginning. After coming back to their senses, the audience erupted into a sea of thunderous applause and cheers.
In actual fact, a large portion of the audience were unable to understand what was going on during the fight, after all, there were barely any abilities being casted throughout the fight. However, the intensity of the battle and compensated for that, leaving everyone in awe at the fight that had just unfolded in front of them.
“It’s… it’s over?”
Seemingly dissatisfied that the fight had ended so abruptly, the emcee curiously asked Wang Yu, who was still standing on the stage, “Was that martial arts that you guys were using just now? What was the name of the last move that you used?”
“Unifying the body and stance!”
Wang Yu coolly answered, before leaping off the stage.
The audience once again erupted into a sea of applause.
“Martial arts… to think that it still existed even today…”
“That’s right… I feel like learning it.”
From this point forth, the audience had wholeheartedly changed their view of this ancient art.
The moment the various martial arts houses saw the curiosity in the hearts of the audience, they started tearing in excitement. Shortly after, they began to eagerly display sign boards to the crowd saying, “If you’re looking to learn martial arts, look no further! We are the original martial arts sects.”
“Original martial arts sects?”
Upon reading the sign, the audience started scrutinising the name on each and every one of these sign boards.
<Six Paths Sect>, <Heart and Mind Sect>, <Sparrow Sect>…
After reading the names of these gates, their mouths twitched in response and said, “Che, one look and you can tell that these are third-rate factions…”
“Pft…”
A martial artist from one of the sects spat out a mouthful of blood upon hearing it.
…
“Big Sis, what do we do now? Are we still going to compete?”
‘Killing the heart of the opponent’, Quan Zhen Sect had completely accomplished this goal.
Purity was the team’s spiritual support. Now that Wang Yu had defeated Purity, he had also dealt a heavy blow to the hearts of all of the team members.
At this moment, there were members from the team that started to doubt if they had the ability to fight against the bunch from Quan Zhen Sect.
“Fight! How can we not fight!” Purity exclaimed in response, “It’s just the third match. Apart from the one surnamed Wang, they do not possess any other experts in their team. For the fourth battle, Thirteen will go up next!”
“En!” After pondering over it for awhile, Thirteen Ji nodded her head heavily.
Thirteen Ji’s martial arts wasn’t any weaker than Purity’s. Apart from having poorer equipment in the game, her overall strength should be about the same as Purity’s.
On the other hand, in Quan Zhen Sect, apart from Wang Yu, there wasn’t any other opponent that could deal with her.
Of course, the quick witted Fearless had already thought of this point and had thus already planned the member to participate in the fourth battle.
Seeing the confident Darknorth Fisher, Fearless instructed once more, “Old Fish, we are counting on you this time round. We have already won the first three matches. All we have to do is to ensure that the point gap in the next two matches are not too far apart. I’m sure you understand what you have to do.”
Darknorth Fisher nodded his head with a smile and said, “I understand!”
After both teams had selected their players, with a ray of light, Thirteen Ji and Darknorth Fisher were both sent onto the stage.
“Hehe!”
Upon seeing Thirteen Ji furiously glaring at him, Darknorth Fisher bashfully smiled, before retreating to his corner.
