Chapter 9: Fierce Battle Against the Black Wolf

Bang bang bang

Upon hearing this statement, Long Fan and Lin Feng both felt quite displeased. From the very beginning, Long Fan had no intention of losing or settling for a draw; all he desired was victory

I never expected that you, once a worthless being, could force me to this extent. Since it has come to this, I shall let you witness the power of the spiritual force of the Equatorial Spirit Master, who is about to step into the Zodiac.

Long Fan had just dodged an attack when he sensed a dangerous aura approaching from behind. In the instant he turned around, a beast radiating dazzling white light was charging towards him. The brilliance of the light blinded everyone, making it impossible for them to open their eyes. Long Fan could only barely make out a glimpse of it, and it was evident that he could no longer evade the attack. Thus, he decided to rely on this one strike to determine the outcome. He quickly raised his arms to shield his head and stepped back with his right foot. Just as he completed the movement, the beast collided with him, producing a thunderous sound akin to a clap of thunder. A cloud of dust rose, enveloping the area. Liu Hei, seeing his attack succeed, wore a smug smile on his face. Despite the significant energy expenditure from his continuous assaults, Long Fan could only barely see, and it was clear he could no longer evade. Therefore, he relied on this strike to determine the outcome. He quickly raised his arms to shield his head and stepped back with his right foot. Just as he completed the movement, the beast collided with him, producing a thunderous sound akin to a clap of thunder. A cloud of dust rose, enveloping the area. Liu Hei, seeing his attack succeed, wore a smug smile on his face. Despite the significant energy expenditure from his continuous assaults, he was panting heavily. However, he believed that even if Long Fan did not perish from this blow, he would surely be gravely injured. He had already won. Unfortunately, before his smile could fully settle, a voice caused his expression to stiffen.

Bang

You have won, the Black Wolf said these three words淡淡的.

Upon hearing the words of the Black Wolf, everyone was taken aback, not expecting Liu Hei to be on the verge of stepping into the Yellow Path. It seemed that the strongest individual in the Town Spirit Primary School was none other than him. Meanwhile, Long Fan was instantly filled with fervor; he had yet to fight with all his might. His teacher had said that he could at most be comparable to a fully realized Equatorial Spirit Master, but he particularly wanted to challenge his own limits. However, Qin Qiong always refused, citing the need to take steady steps. How could he not be excited by this opportunity? As the Black Wolf's body erupted with a whirlwind, it gradually formed a spiritual armor that covered his body. Witnessing this scene, everyone present gasped in astonishment.

Amidst the astonished expressions of everyone, a figure shot out from the dust and smoke, its bronze skin once again enveloped in blue energy. With a single punch, the fist appeared to grow larger in the eyes of the black wolf. Unfortunately, it was too late for him to evade; the punch landed heavily on his spiritual armor. Although it did not penetrate the armor, he was still sent flying, rolling several times on the ground before coming to a stop. He barely managed to stand up, his breathing becoming increasingly labored.

At this moment, Long Fan was exceptionally calm; he realized that this would be a brutal battle, so he had to maintain his composure. Behind him, Lin Feng was clenching his fists tightly. He recognized that Liu Hei had not exerted much strength when facing him, which was the greatest humiliation for him. He had always believed himself to be exceptionally gifted, thinking he could fight across levels. At this moment, he realized how self-righteous he had been. He should have been worried about Long Fan, but deep down, he harbored a thought that frightened even himself: he hoped Long Fan would lose to Hei Lang... that way, his own defeat would not seem so shameful. At this moment, it seemed that Lin Feng's heart was filled with jealousy...

The black wolf continuously hurled energy spheres at Long Fan to prevent his approach, while simultaneously retreating. At this moment, the wolf's energy was nearly depleted; it had to maintain the strongest defense of the energy armor while also attacking, which had already led to some overexertion. It could no longer utilize martial arts effectively and could only barely manage the simplest energy sphere attacks. Long Fan, on the other hand, desperately increased his speed, dodging the attacks and maneuvering closer to the black wolf. He was also nearing his limit, relying solely on willpower to extract strength from his body. Just as he was about to approach the black wolf, an energy sphere came hurtling towards him.

Hehe, kid, you cannot break my spiritual armor, so you won't be able to deal me a heavy blow. I may not have much spiritual power left for offense, but you are probably nearing exhaustion as well. In this match, we can at most consider it a draw. You have surprised me; I never expected that the true leader of the new stars would be you, a once powerless waste.

At this moment, if one were to evade, it would necessitate a retreat, which would only increase the distance between them. This could lead to one's own physical exhaustion and inevitable defeat. There was no option to retreat; a decision was made in an instant. Long Fan forcefully stomped the ground, accelerating forward, while channeling blue true energy to gather on his right arm. At the moment of collision with the spiritual energy sphere, he unleashed a punch. "Bang!" The spiritual energy sphere exploded, yet Long Fan's figure did not halt. His fist maintained its previous speed as it struck towards the Black Wolf. At this moment, the Black Wolf was unable to dodge quickly; the previous blow had caused a pause in his movements. With a sound of "Pa," the blue fist struck the Black Wolf's spiritual armor, sending a shockwave sweeping outward. Both figures were momentarily frozen in place, and gradually, everyone saw a crack appear on the spiritual armor. Following that, the sound of "Pa pa pa..." echoed continuously as the blue fist impacted the Black Wolf's spiritual armor, with the shockwave radiating outward. Both remained still, and slowly, everyone noticed a crack forming on the spiritual armor, followed by the rapid succession of cracking sounds.

"Young man, this is my strongest defense. This time, let's see how you can possibly hit me," Liu Heilings said arrogantly as the armor gathered around him.

I believe it should not be a tie, at least I do not want it to be a tie

Then bring it on, I am not someone who easily admits defeat

"Alright, let me show you just how great the gap between us is." The Black Wolf showed no intention of dodging; he stood tall and took Long Fan's punch head-on. With a "bang," a blue figure was sent flying, and Long Fan knelt on one knee, sliding back a bit. His punch did not inflict much damage on the Spirit Armor, not even a single crack. Before he could think of a countermeasure, Liu Hei charged at him. Long Fan quickly jumped to the side, as a fist imbued with spiritual power struck the ground where he had just been, creating a large pit.

Bang bang bang bang

Dragon Spirit Fist

Isn't this the Spirit Gathering Armor

Did the teacher not say that only those who have entered the zodiac can cultivate this?

Well, as expected of the only student of Vice Principal Qin, you are indeed extraordinary. Your name is Long Fan, right? I thoroughly enjoyed this match today. If you do not wish to end it here, I will certainly accompany you to the end. However, I hope that after this battle, we can become friends.

The spiritual armor on the black wolf shattered, and with his final punch, Long Fan broke the spiritual armor. Everyone gaped in disbelief at this scene. Long Fan stood up, looking levelly at the black wolf, his eyes filled with joy and exhaustion, while the black wolf's gaze remained as calm as water.

And the book "Could it be that the Black Wolf was just being modest when he said he has already stepped into the Yellow Path?"

As Liu Hei spun in place, arrows formed from spiritual energy shot rapidly towards Long Fan. Having just landed, Long Fan had no time to evade and could only brace himself. He twisted his body and, relying on his keen reflexes, shattered all the arrows aimed at him. Seizing the moment when the black wolf halted, Long Fan immediately leaped straight towards it. His martial arts could only exert their power in close combat; maintaining distance would leave him passively taking hits. Clearly, the black wolf understood this as well and would not allow Long Fan to approach. Although confident in its own defenses, it was still wiser to keep a safe distance, thus increasing its chances of victory. Consequently, it continued to launch remote spiritual attacks to prevent Long Fan from closing in. Faced with such a dense barrage, Long Fan could only keep dodging, unable to advance. Seeing that he had not hit Long Fan much, Liu Hei increased the flow of spiritual energy and prepared to unleash a powerful move.

With each collision, a loud bang echoed. Long Fan continuously struck against the black wolf's spiritual energy attacks, each punch more powerful than the last. The black wolf was beginning to struggle; although he was channeling his spiritual energy, he was clearly at a disadvantage in close combat. Long Fan's every move was the result of three years of battle experience, representing the most direct and effective attack methods. Long Fan delivered another series of elbow strikes... This time, the black wolf was caught off guard, his head struck and sent flying... He was clearly at a disadvantage compared to Long Fan, as every one of Long Fan's moves was derived from three years of combat experience, representing the most direct and effective attack methods. Long Fan delivered another series of elbow strikes... This time, the black wolf was caught off guard, his head struck and sent flying...

Bang

The two individuals were once again poised for action. Although their strength was not as formidable as before, their momentum was entirely undiminished. Long Fan's strategy remained consistent, relying on close combat to breach the opponent's defenses, thus creating a possibility for victory. Consequently, Long Fan suddenly darted forward, his blue figure racing through the night like a specter. However, the Black Wolf would not allow him to have his way; he understood that only by maintaining distance could he remain invincible.

... ...

After the two figures collided, they quickly bounced apart, each standing firm. In this clash, neither gained the upper hand; the confrontation between spiritual power and physical strength was nearly equal. This was almost impossible, yet it was achieved by a ten-year-old child. At this moment, Long Fan had become the blue beast in their hearts. The two leaped again, rapidly exchanging blows in mid-air.

"Breaking your shell will allow me to strike you," Long Fan said expressionlessly. As soon as he finished speaking, he charged forward.

Long Fan remained silent, still gazing at him. Then, he suddenly collapsed straight down. The Black Wolf hurried to support him, but unfortunately, he had also exhausted his strength and was directly knocked down by Long Fan. The people around quickly came forward to help; they had all been captivated by the recent battle. They admired the one who, without any spiritual power, defeated what could be considered the strongest spiritual practitioner among all the students in the school. No, from today onwards, the strongest in Zhenling Primary School is this blue beast named Long Fan. At this moment, two individuals were standing aside, silently watching as everyone helped Long Fan and the Black Wolf back to the dormitory—Lin Feng and Qin Qiong, who stood on the rooftop.

Alright, I merely wish to challenge my own limits. Since Liu Laoda is willing, I naturally cannot ask for more.

It is my turn to attack

The black wolf flipped in the air, landed on one knee, wiped the blood from the corner of its mouth, and gazed at Long Fan with a wolf-like intensity
