Clang!
Boom!
When the ironwood sword was unsheathed, it was accompanied by a roar of thunder and a flash of lightning.
Amid the booming thunder, Lin Yao seemed to have pulled out thunder and lightning instead of a sword.
The bright electric light flashed and disappeared, and a white line appeared in the middle of the palm print that looked like a door, which was the profound meaning of the Vajra Palm. Moments later, the white line spread, and the Vajra Palm print shattered like glass.
"How is it possible? You merely have full-body control!"
Di Qiang was shocked when the Vajra Palm print shattered like glass. He was puzzled. Lin Yao had only managed to gather the strength of his whole body, yet he had been able to shatter his superimposed profound meaning with one blow.
Di Qiang might find it hard to understand, but Lin Yao had no time to waste.
After shattering the Vajra Palm with one blow, he stomped his foot.
Boom.
Amid loud cracking sounds, he flashed and charged toward Di Qiang like a bolt of lightning.
Di Qiang watched as Lin Yao approached him with the might of Thor. He wanted to use his Vajra Palm again. However, as mentioned before, the reason the profound meaning was called a killer move was because it put too much pressure on the body and was difficult to use repeatedly.
When Di Qiang had used the profound meaning previously, two forces had converged in his palm. If he had not strengthened his palm while practicing the Vajra Palm, his palm would have been injured on the spot.
It was a pity that he was a low-level martial artist. Besides, his palm had not been tempered to the extent that he could keep using the Vajra Palm to attack.
Di Qiang, who could not activate the Vajra Palm, was not even able to use his right palm. Now that Lin Yao was charging over at him, he could only use his left foot as his center of gravity. He turned his right foot halfway and slammed into Lin Yao's body.
Boom!
As expected, he was someone who had understood two different profound meanings. He gathered the power of his whole body when he rotated, swept his legs, and created a loud shrill in the air.
Although he simply kicked with his legs, the kick was as powerful as the moves of people who used combat skills. This was the sheer might of full-body control.
However, Lin Yao had also mastered this ability!
While Di Qiang was kicking, so was Lin Yao.
Boom.
Amidst the roaring wind, Lin Yao and Di Qiang's thighs slammed into each other.
When their legs met, Di Qiang's expression changed immediately. He sensed that Lin Yao's thigh was far more powerful than his. The terrifying force crushed and broke his thigh, giving him a fierce kick. He was also kicked on the chest and sent flying off the arena.
Di Qiang spurted a mouthful of blood after falling outside the arena.
He could not care about this right now. Instead, he looked at Lin Yao with an incredulous expression on his face as if he was looking at a lunatic.
"Are you crazy? This is just an arena competition. Do you have to go as far as to break the shackles and unleash 200% of your power? You even did it twice in a row within a short period of time! You will die because of this!"
Di Qiang, who had been sent flying off the arena, asked if Lin Yao had no intention of staying alive. This might seem odd, but one could soon see why he'd said that.
Di Qiang, who was outside the arena, had broken his leg and spurted blood due to the fight. It seemed that Lin Yao was the winner.
However, as soon as Di Qiang left the arena, the light in Lin Yao's eyes dimmed, and he dropped to the ground on the stage a second later.
As he collapsed, blood also appeared on his body and kept trickling from it. In fact, blood even flowed out of his seven orifices, making Lin Yao seem like a bloody man.
Lin Yao, who had defeated Di Qiang, seemed to have sustained more serious injuries than Di Qiang in the end.
Everyone was surprised. However, if they thought hard about it, the situation would seem normal to them.
Ordinary people could only exert 15% to 30% of their strength, and ordinary warlords could at most exert 50% of their strength. In Lin Yao's case, he had exerted 200% of his strength. The power he had unleashed was four times the power of a warlord.
Lin Yao had shattered the Vajra Palm with a sword move and sent Di Qiang flying with a single kick. Both of his moves had crossed his own limits.
Breaking the body's shackles and having an unrivaled attacking ability seemed like a good thing.
However, the shackles that restricted human beings from unleashing their full strength were also a form of protection.
The strength of the human body was limited, and ordinary people could only exert 30% of their power to protect their physical body.
If one was unable to withstand the strength, it would be useless to have immense power.
For example, Di Qiang, who had been able to unlock the gene lock, was actually capable of making his vital energy seed explode. However, he would usually only increase his strength to 100%.
It was not that he did not want to keep improving, but once he exceeded his limit even by a little, his body would be damaged and he might need to lie in bed for days.
If he reached 200% of his strength, he might have to lie in bed for a month despite the current treatment methods. This would affect Di Qiang's foundation. After all, unleashing strength by force would result in muscle dissolution, excessive pressure on the internal organs, and broken capillaries. All these were considered serious injuries.
"It's just a competition. Did you have to go as far as to use methods similar to Heavenly Demon Dissolution? Hurry up, save him."
Di Qiang was shouting for help. Needless to say, the senior management of the college on the stage had noticed that something was wrong when Lin Yao had smashed the Vajra Palm with a sword. They had immediately rushed to the arena, trying to stop the battle between Lin Yao and Di Qiang.
Unfortunately, this was an ordinary school, and the leaders of the college were not as powerful. Lin Yao and Di Qiang were too fast for them to stop the fight.
Right now, the few people who had rushed into the arena looked sullen.
"Student Lin Yao, you... Sigh!"
"What a fool! Since you comprehended the gene lock, you have a bright future ahead of you. Why did you put up a desperate fight here?"
"It's over. We have caused a genius who comprehended the profound meaning of military boxing to get seriously injured. We... Sigh!"
Everyone was worried and upset about Lin Yao's injury. The doctor next to the arena also rushed forward, wanting to treat Lin Yao.
As everyone felt saddened by his injuries, Lin Yao actually laughed out loud.
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
"You are not fine. You have exhausted 300% of your power. You are lucky that you are still alive."
"It's not 300%. It's 200%."
When that was said, Di Qiang shook his head.
"This is impossible. A low-level martial artist who unleashed only 200% of his strength should not have been able to break through my Vajra Palm, which gathered all my strength."
"That applies to an ordinary person. I was born with divine power."
Di Qiang was right. That was indeed the case for ordinary people, but Lin Yao was not ordinary at all. The full bonus of the Body of Light had increased Lin Yao's physical fitness by 90%. In combination with the Iron Person 14%, his physical endurance was already twice the limit of the 100% Human Body Limit. Such physical fitness was barely enough to advance to a Silver Person.
It was also because of this that he had been able to defeat Di Qiang's full-body control, profound meaning, and superimposed Vajra Palm with 200% of his strength.
"Born with divine power? Your talent is really enviable... but you are too impulsive."
Now that he knew that Lin Yao had been born with divine power and had only exerted 200% of his power, Di Qiang breathed a sigh of relief and was not as worried anymore.
Di Qiang, who had mastered the profound meaning of military boxing, knew that by unleashing 300% of their power, a low-level martial artist would end up either dead or paralyzed. If they released 200% of their power, they'd only need to rest for a month or two.
Knowing that Lin Yao would not be paralyzed or die from his injuries, he relaxed a little, and the surrounding college leaders breathed a sigh of relief as well.
They then turned to reprimand Lin Yao.
"This must never happen again. You have to be responsible for your body."
"Don't be too ruthless and anxious to win when fighting with people who are on the same side as you. This is the best time for you to advance. Others could train every day, while you'd have to lie in bed for a month or two. You would lag behind everyone. Do you regret your actions?"
While they were reprimanding Lin Yao, he had an indifferent expression on his face. This made them even more furious.
Right now, Lin Yao could feel a headache due to their constant nagging.
"I'm really fine."
After saying that, he got ready to stand up despite his injuries. However, this gave the school leaders a big scare, and they quickly pressed Lin Yao to the ground.
The doctor sprayed medicine on Lin Yao's body, while he carefully lifted Lin Yao as if he was carrying a fragile object.
"Stop, stop."
"Don't move anymore. Take him to the hospital."
"Take Di Qiang to the hospital as well."
Lin Yao, who was covered in blood, and Di Qiang, who had been kicked in the chest, were both sent to the hospital. Di Qiang looked at Lin Yao. He was seriously injured, yet he still had an indifferent expression on his face. Di Qiang felt helpless.
"I have encountered a battle-crazy madman."
Geniuses naturally enjoyed special treatment, and when the two of them entered the college ward, they were scanned by special equipment.
While the scan was taking place, Di Qiang's injury report came out.
"Broken leg, shattered breastbone, damaged internal organs, massive internal bleeding..."
Di Qiang's injuries were very serious. Ordinary people in Lin Yao's previous life would have almost died if they'd sustained such injuries. However, humans in this era were different. The medical technology in this world was special, and the recovery speed of human beings had also increased greatly simply thanks to nutrition drinks. Besides, all martial artists had a tough physique.
Very soon, the doctors prepared a treatment plan for Di Qiang.
"After the broken bones are reset and the internal injuries heal, he will take nutrition drinks and recover in a month."
"This is too troublesome. Student Di Qiang has mastered genetic control, so he can manipulate his physical body a little. His physical injuries can heal in 10 days."
The doctors had examined and checked Di Qiang's injuries. On the other hand, some coaches and senior officials of the college had already dragged Lin Yao onto the examination table, telling the doctor cautiously, "Give Lin Yao a thorough check. It'd be best to administer first aid. We have already contacted the hospital in the city center."
"You've contacted the hospital in the city center? What's happened?" "What else? This brave little scoundrel unlocked his genetic shackles during the battle, causing him to blow up 200% of his power. He did this twice."
Upon hearing this, the doctor gasped.
"What exactly happened at college? Why did they use such desperate moves?"
"Nothing happened. It was just an arena competition... Sigh. Let's get him treated soon." At this point, the senior management official hesitated and then said, "Will he be alright?"
"It's hard to say. Exerting strength beyond the limits of the body is very serious. Many of his muscle cells must have dissolved."
"This is still alright, but the forbidden unleashing will affect the entire body. It will be troublesome if he suffers from internal organ failure!"
Seeing that the school leaders were worried sick, a group of doctors performed various physical examinations on Lin Yao as quickly as possible.
Soon, the equipment in the room showed the data regarding Lin Yao's physical condition.
When they read the data, the tension on the doctors' faces disappeared, and some of them were left speechless.
"Are you kidding me?"
