Amid a piercing scrape, his fingers plowed five deep gouges into the ground, barely halting his momentum at the very edge of the ring.
If he had fallen, he would have been declared the loser instantly.
RUMBLE…!!
Lin Ye saw that the bowl-sized hole in Dongfang Zhen's abdomen—a wound that pierced straight through him—was not bleeding. Instead, it was gradually being filled by a mass of purple lightning that pulsed with a searing glow.
At the same time, a terrifying wave of heat blasted toward him!
Lin Ye's eyes narrowed.
He knew Dongfang Zhen was about to risk it all.
Dongfang Zhen slowly straightened up. The lightning in his abdomen grew blindingly bright. He looked at Lin Ye, his voice hoarse from the excruciating pain, but his tone was unnaturally calm.
"Lin Ye, this battle today has made me realize there's always someone stronger."
"That there are true geniuses like you in this world!"
"Given time, you will surely surpass me."
