For Jing Wuming, who had activated the Charge skill, a distance of over twenty yards was traversed in the blink of an eye.
Leaving only an afterimage, he appeared before Shi Feng in an instant. The Thunder Spear in his hand swept forward in a thrust, transforming into more than twenty spear shadows that dazzled the eyes and left no room for evasion. The attack trajectories were completely impossible to discern as the barrage hurtled toward Shi Feng.
"How did his Shadow Spear get so much stronger?!"
Gu Jiuji gasped at the sight.
When he had fought Jing Wuming before, Jing Wuming's Shadow Spear had only produced a little over a dozen spear shadows. Even that many made it impossible to tell which one was real, and blocking with a shield was mostly a matter of luck.
Now there were more than twenty—nearly double the count. Forget about blocking them; just looking at the display was enough to make someone completely at a loss.
"Big Brother Wuming's Double Burst is incredible! The spear shadows increased by so much all at once—even an MT with a shield probably couldn't block this attack," the members of the Wave Heart Adventure Team exclaimed in shock.
"Wuming really is taking this seriously." Mu Xiaoxiao watched Jing Wuming go all out without a word of hesitation and let out a helpless smile. "The other guy is finished for good now."
Though she had always teamed up with Jing Wuming for dungeon runs, this was the first time she had ever seen him fighting at full power.
Moreover, in an indiscriminate-mode battle, the side with stronger base attributes would be suppressed down to match the weaker party.
Jing Wuming's attributes suffered no suppression whatsoever, so he felt no discomfort. The stronger side, on the other hand, would need time to adapt to the sudden reduction in stats.
Jing Wuming clearly knew this too, and he wasn't going to give Shi Feng even a moment to adjust.
Terrain, timing, and momentum—all were firmly in Jing Wuming's grasp. Losing would take real effort.
On the battlefield, a sea of spear shadows surged toward Shi Feng as if to devour him whole.
Just as the spear shadows were about to swallow Shi Feng, a flash of cyan light suddenly bloomed. A deafening boom and a shockwave rippled outward in all directions, echoing throughout the entire arena.
And the Thunder Spear in Jing Wuming's hand had somehow come to a stop a full inch from Shi Feng's neck—never having made contact.
"That's impossible!" Mu Xiaoxiao shot to her feet, her eyes wide with disbelief. "Wuming's Shadow Spear... how could it have missed?"
"No way! Did Big Brother Wuming make a mistake?" the other Wave Heart members cried out in astonishment.
Jing Wuming's Shadow Spear was said to never miss—the worst that had ever happened was an opponent blocking it through sheer luck.
But if anyone was shocked, no one was more stunned than Jing Wuming himself.
A single failed strike didn't stop him. Jing Wuming unleashed Shadow Spear once more, and another twenty-plus spear shadows devoured the space around Shi Feng.
But with another flash of cyan light, the Thunder Spear this time fell short of Shi Feng's shoulder by several centimeters—even farther away than before.
"Did it hit or not? What's going on?" the Wave Heart members stared at Shi Feng, his entire body covered in golden dragon patterns, utterly confused.
"He... he was able to precisely deflect the Shadow Spear's attack! Is he some kind of monster?" Mu Xiaoxiao's gaze was locked onto Shi Feng, her expression dark as a storm cloud.
The terror of Shadow Spear lay in its impossibility to track, leaving the enemy with no way to defend. Yet in the span of a single instant, Shi Feng had identified the real Thunder Spear from among twenty-something shadows and used that precision to deflect the thrust. His command of force and timing was nothing short of godlike.
But Mu Xiaoxiao had no time to recover from her shock. On the battlefield, Shi Feng took a single step forward and then vanished without a trace.
"He disappeared?!"
The moment Jing Wuming saw Shi Feng vanish, he immediately unleashed Whirlwind Slash. A sweeping strike lashed out—nothing within a ten-yard radius could escape.
