Chapter 49

Looking down at his father on the sidelines, Gotalin nodded at him, signaling that he should go all out. Whatever the consequences, his father would take responsibility. Thus, Gotalin no longer held back.

Lu Feng, now I'll show you the full strength of this young master. I only need one move to cripple you!

With this thought, Gotalin first unleashed a Crescent Slash, then his power erupted, the golden light becoming more intense than ever before. His entire body, enveloped in the sharp golden glow, transformed into a massive sword.

Advanced Blue Rank Secret Combat Technique — Sword and Man as One!

Although he was very angry, Gotalin did not lose his composure. His moves were still swift, precise, and lethal. He first used the Crescent Slash to restrict Lu Feng's movements, then locked onto his path.

From the astonishing momentum, it was clear that this move was extremely powerful.

Secret combat techniques were stronger than the regular combat techniques taught at the academy, and with the effect of the gold attribute, its actual destructive power should be comparable to the highest-level Blue Rank combat technique!

Lu Feng was immediately in a difficult situation. Breaking through the Crescent Slash was not a problem, but the move that followed was the greatest threat. While he was dealing with it, Gotalin would definitely take the opportunity to launch a decisive attack. Even if he used the Spring Step, he wouldn't be able to escape.

In other words, Lu Feng could only fight Gotalin head-on.

However, up until now, he had only been able to win through skill. If it came to a direct confrontation, he was clearly inferior to Gotalin.

The students of Class 8 all held their breath, none of them had expected this move from Gotalin.

Aaren's face changed. Gotalin's combat technique should be able to pierce through iron. If Lu Feng fought him, it wouldn't just be a loss; his body would be riddled with holes!

Without attempting to escape with the Spring Step, Lu Feng instead stopped in his tracks.

When Gotalin was making his last stand, it was also the time for Lu Feng to use that move!

Heh heh, this kid is desperate, actually thinking of fighting me. You're dead!

At this distance, it was a sure hit. Gotalin, with the massive sword, began to accelerate, plunging down towards Lu Feng.

"Idiot, quickly dodge..." Aaren's scream was cut short as his eyes widened.

The aura barrier around Lu Feng's body had disappeared!

Could it be that his combat aura had suddenly retreated to the Essence Stage?

No, it wasn't like that!

Lu Feng's arms rose, his palms crossed, palms facing outward, emitting an extremely bright light.

This is... the starting posture of that move!

Because that move required an enormous amount of combat aura, it caused Lu Feng's aura barrier to temporarily disappear.

Everyone also noticed that Lu Feng's momentum was very fierce, and they were greatly surprised.

Could it be that he had some higher-level combat technique? But even if it was a higher-level technique, it couldn't compare to Gotalin's secret technique.

"Whoosh!"

A burst of aura shot out from Lu Feng's palms.

Everyone almost fainted. At this level of combat, the aura burst of the lowest-level Blue Rank combat technique was not even worth mentioning. The two had never used it until now, but at this critical moment, Lu Feng actually fired an aura burst. Wasn't this suicide?

"Pop!" Without a doubt, not to mention Sword and Man as One, the aura burst was easily shattered by the Crescent Slash that arrived first.

However, a second aura burst shot out from Lu Feng's palms, followed by a third, fourth, fifth...

By the time Lu Feng fired the fifth aura burst, the Crescent Slash was finally broken, but it wasn't over yet.

The sixth, seventh aura bursts... they continued to rain down on Gotalin, who had transformed into a massive sword. Although the power of the aura bursts was weak, their numbers were overwhelming, like an endless stream, densely packed, like a shower of small meteors constantly impacting the massive sword, each one dimming the golden light a little.

In just an instant, Lu Feng had fired so many aura bursts. This was no longer just a matter of rapid firing!

After Lu Feng fired over a dozen aura bursts, the golden light on the massive sword had become so faint that it was barely visible, and it had shrunk significantly. This indicated that Gotalin's Sword and Man as One had been greatly weakened, but at this moment, the aura bursts suddenly stopped.

Ha ha, great, his combat aura is exhausted!

Gotalin was overjoyed. With the pressure reduced, he accelerated and plunged towards Lu Feng again.

Everyone couldn't help but exclaim in shock, but none of them expected that Lu Feng's palms suddenly burst with combat aura, even more intense than before.

He hadn't run out of combat aura; he had been saving it to launch a stronger final attack.

"Boom!"

A massive aura sphere shot out from Lu Feng's palms, trailing a long tail as it rushed towards Gotalin.

If the previous aura bursts were small meteors, this one was a giant meteor.

Seeing the "giant meteor" approaching in an instant, a strong sense of oppression arose in his heart. Realizing its destructive power, a hint of fear appeared in Gotalin's eyes.

But now, he couldn't back down.

"Boom!"

Like a bomb exploding, a loud noise echoed. The sword aura around Gotalin finally dissipated completely, and he was thrown back, landing heavily on the ground and rolling for several meters before coming to a stop. This showed how terrifying the impact of Lu Feng's final attack was.

This frenzied wave of attacks finally ended with the release of the giant meteor.

Without waiting for Lu Feng to pursue, the referee on the sidelines leaped out, blocking between Gotalin and Lu Feng: "Team A is down, starting the countdown, ten, nine, eight, seven..."

It seemed to be a judgment based on the rules, but in reality, the referee was hindering Lu Feng and giving Gotalin time.

This exchange match was organized by Gotalin, and the referee was brought in from Victoria City, having been instructed to help Gotalin when necessary.

If it had been Lu Feng who was hit and fell, the referee wouldn't have done this, allowing Gotalin to continue the attack. After all, the judgment of the match had a certain degree of flexibility, which he controlled.

Lu Feng didn't expect such darkness, but he didn't care and stopped his attack.

"Six, five..."

Although the referee's countdown was deliberately slow, it still had to continue. Gotalin was extremely anxious.

No, I can't lose, how can I lose to Lu Feng!

Struggling desperately, Gotalin finally stood up when the count reached two, but before the students of Class 2 could celebrate, Gotalin's body swayed, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, falling to the ground again. This time, he couldn't get up, as he had lost his fighting ability.

Medical personnel quickly came to provide emergency treatment to Gotalin. His injuries were not severe, but he was definitely unable to continue fighting.

The result was clear. No matter how biased the referee was, he couldn't deny the facts and had to announce: "Winner, Lu Feng!"

The stunned crowd finally realized that the battle was over. The students of Class 8, as if waking from a dream, burst into loud cheers.

The class leader won, we Class 8 won!

Ha ha ha, great, from now on, those top classes won't dare look down on us!

Don't think that just because we're in the basic class, we're weaker than others. We just started from a lower point!

...

After the cheers, everyone's attention turned to Lu Feng's final move, including the students from other classes, who were all puzzled.

What was Lu Feng's final move? Its power was terrifying!

Gotalin's attack was already an advanced Blue Rank combat technique with the gold attribute, yet he couldn't match it!

The power of that move should be comparable to an Orange Rank. Is there such a powerful move in Blue Rank combat techniques?

Could it be a finishing move?

Yes, it's very likely. The duration of a regular combat technique is not this long, and it should be a four-star or higher finishing move. Lu Feng's aura is only at the fourth stage, yet he managed to unleash the power of an Orange Rank!

...

Someone mentioned the term "finishing move," and everyone was in an uproar, as this was indeed the only explanation.

However, to master a four-star or higher finishing move at the aura stage is truly unbelievable!

They guessed correctly. The move Lu Feng used was indeed the five-star finishing move he learned in the finishing move class, called — Meteor Shower!

Very vividly, firing over a dozen aura bursts in one go, followed by a powerful impact wave, it was like a meteor shower pouring down. It had already surpassed the limits of Blue Rank combat techniques, reaching the destructive power of an Orange Rank, and even Gotalin's Sword and Man as One couldn't match it. This was the strength of a five-star combat technique!
