Chapter 38 A Silver Spear
Just as Yu Tianheng was about to continue his advance, a spear tip appeared like a ghost in front of him.
Just as Yu Tianheng was about to unleash his lightning on the spear, he saw the spear tip sweeping towards him like a dragon emerging from the sea, so he had no choice but to retreat decisively.
However, a hand stood like an unbreakable shield behind him.
"Come on, stand firm and don't be afraid!" Lin Bei said in a tone that was both amusing and exasperating. Then, with a forceful push, he shoved Yu Tianheng back as if adding fuel to the fire, before disappearing into the distance.
It has to be said that the three of them cooperated perfectly. Even the support dared to move around so flexibly. Seeing that there was no chance to chase Mi'er and Lin Bei, Yu Tianheng could only focus his attention on Wu Heyi again.
On a tiny scale imperceptible to the naked eye, an energy link has already formed between Yu Tianheng and Wu Heyi, and it is being output to Wu Heyi in the form of a one-way valve.
Lightning crackled in Yu Tianheng's hand. In his eyes, the steel spear in Wu Heyi's hand was like a metal snake. Regardless of its conductivity, it could at least render Wu Heyi incapable of fighting for a short time.
Moreover, he did not think Wu Heyi was strong at all; he had already learned about Wu Heyi's combat situation from Dugu Yan.
During the knockout stage, Wu Heyi was able to withstand so much damage because of the combined efforts of his two support players. Now that one of his support players is helping him, his chances of winning are naturally even greater.
Most importantly, he believed that Wu Heyi's martial spirit effect was too powerful and must have some kind of limitation, making it impossible to use continuously. From Ye Lingling's description, he had already guessed that Lin Bei must have been hiding some unknown secret at the time!
His first soul skill was activated with a roar, and the dragon claw in his hand expanded to twice its size as if it were being inflated like a balloon, with the concentration of lightning increasing steadily.
Wu Heyi's lips curled into a faint smile, and his spear danced like a serpent as he faced his enemy head-on in the blink of an eye. As the distance closed, Wu Heyi's spear suddenly spun, and the tip appeared at Yu Tianheng's feet like a venomous snake emerging from its hole.
Yu Tianheng glanced at him out of the corner of his eye and thought to himself that something was wrong. He was about to dodge, but Wu Heyi would not give him that chance. He directly slashed upwards and thrust repeatedly, and then smashed him to the ground like Mount Tai crushing an egg.
Yu Tianheng suddenly felt his body lose weight. Before he could adjust, he was shocked to see a stick suddenly appear above his head like a ghost, crashing down with the force of Mount Tai crushing an egg.
Yu Tianheng knew that this was neither a soul skill nor a martial soul, but the seamless attack made him dare not rashly take it head-on.
He acted decisively, instantly filling his hands with lightning element and doing his best to strengthen his arms into lightning dragon claws. At the same time, he used his soul power to weave a bolt of lightning in an attempt to reduce the impact.
Furthermore, he attempted to passively bring Lei into contact with Wu Heyi's steel spear, electrifying the spear in Wu's hands and causing him to become numb and lose his fighting ability.
But such a wonderful thing could not go as he wished; the fierce smashing of the spear arrived as expected, like a storm.
Although the force was formidable, Yu Tianheng did indeed withstand most of the impact, which undoubtedly demonstrated that the enhancement of a Soul Master by a Martial Soul was like a complete transformation.
However, contrary to Yu Tianheng's expectations, the scene of Wu Heyi being electrocuted did not occur, which caused Yu Tianheng to be momentarily stunned.
On this battlefield where life and death are at stake, the most taboo thing is to be distracted when attacking the enemy. During the battle, both sides' spirits are like a taut bowstring, and the slightest mistake will basically foreshadow death.
With a flick of his wrist, Wu Heyi's spear struck Yu Tianheng in the chest like a venomous snake emerging from its hole, sending him flying like a kite with a broken string.
Immediately, before he could recover, Wu Heyi's Iron Mountain Lean struck his chest like a tidal wave.
Yu Tianheng was sent flying backward, landing sprawled on the ground like a leaf swept away by a gust of wind.
If it weren't for Ye Lingling's healing, which was like a gentle spring breeze protecting him, Yu Tianheng would probably have been crippled by Wu Heyi by now.
The students outside the venue exclaimed in surprise.
"So strong! He actually held back in the knockout stage!"
Such words flowed incessantly like a tide, and of course, Yu Tianheng heard them all.
Every word was like a steel needle, piercing his heart and causing him unbearable pain.
However, this cannot be entirely blamed on him underestimating his opponent, since no one could be sure whether Wu Heyi was really holding back.
But Wu Heyi knew perfectly well that he had only practiced his gun skills for a few days, and at best he had only scratched the surface; he was still far from reaching the pinnacle.
However, during the elimination rounds, when Ye Lingling used the Wind Eagle Armor, she happened to give Wu Heyi several opportunities to use her skills, and the Black Rhino Armor happened to be an expert in using spears, which gave her some insights.
A mysterious and profound gun-related technique exploded in Wu Heyi's mind like a bomb, as if an eternity had passed in an instant. Although it didn't grant Wu Heyi any earth-shattering gun skills, when he held the steel gun and casually unleashed a move, his subsequent actions, whether offensive or defensive, became effortless and natural. Moreover, the gun in his hand seemed like an extension of his body, its power increasing exponentially.
Seeing that Yu Tianheng still looked completely bewildered, Wu Heyi could only mercifully explain:
"Aren't you curious why this steel gun doesn't conduct electricity, and why I'm unharmed?"
Upon hearing Wu Heyi's question, Yu Tianheng nodded as if bewitched.
Wu Heyi was both amused and exasperated. This child was so different from the character in the original story; he was far too innocent and naive.
Wu Heyi sighed and rubbed his forehead. "Because the shaft of this gun is made of wood, only the tip is made of steel, so it doesn't conduct electricity!"
"Impossible! It's completely silvery-white, with a natural luster. How could it not be metal!"
At this point, Wu Heyi couldn't help but marvel at how wonderful the world is, with all sorts of strange plants and animals emerging one after another.
The spear in his hand was made from the body of a hundred-year-old soul beast, the Silver Zhe Tree Demon. When struck, the spear shaft produced a clear, metallic sound. Its hardness was comparable to that of Iron Mother, and it was entirely silver-white with excellent toughness.
Furthermore, these spirit beasts typically prefer to consume minerals as nutrients for growth, so they usually produce some associated minerals.
Wu Heyi was very lucky and managed to dig up a peculiar type of refined steel. With the help of some junior students who were fire-attribute soul masters, he was able to forge the spearhead.
Most importantly, once the spearhead is installed, the entire gun appears as a single, seamless piece without close inspection, exuding a strong sense of steel.
Wu Heyi was simply doing a good deed and didn't need to explain things too clearly, so he didn't bother with the bewildered Yu Tianheng. After all, Mi'er and Dugu Yan were already locked in a fierce battle.
The battle between the two felt like a one-on-one fight between Gara and the Dominator!
