Shi clan, Clan arena.
Shi Kuai knew that he was going to lose given the fact that his body was full of burns. He let nature take its course as he fell to the ground with a loud thud.
He stared out at the horizon and felt that the world was more vivid than usual.
'Is this...my end?' Shi Kuai thought inwardly. All of his hard work for years to at least reach Shi Shisi's level of strengh was brought to naught thanks to a newcomer named Shi Li.
As this thought flashed in his mind, the rage from before intensified and fueled his body with more energy. With this energy, he was able to sit down and think up of an attack to change the tides.
'[Lightning Stab] is a technique I commonly use, and [Sky Lightning Stab] is only possible if I jump high and aim my rapier, to which I have no rapier as it was burnt,' Shi Kuai sighed at his conclusion.
But all of a sudden, a past memory appeared in his mind, telling him of a secret skill that was given to him by his parents.
'Whatever you do, don't let your instincts consume your consciousness,' a voice resounded through his head.
With this statement said, Shi Kuai grit his teeth and released the strength hidden within his body. The untapped potential found in his body, transformed into another type of energy and circulated throughout his body.
A few moments later, Shi Kuai's body swelled up. His parents told him to only use it in dire situations, but at this point, he would do everything to not tarnish his pride.
He gradually became accustomed with his massive body and felt that a force was slowly sucking in the strength deep in his body, understanding that this form had a time limit. He had a feeling that this may hinder him from proceeding in the path of cultivation even further.
As more time passed, the burns all over his body were being healed, forming scabs that would reveal flawless skin once removed. Small sparks of lightning started to appear all over his body as this happened.
After a while, he took a deep breath and bent his knees as he channeled all of his strength to his legs and stared at Shi Li straight in the eyes.
Shi Li noticed Shi Kuai's gaze and had a surprised look on his eyes. Shi Kuai could sense that Shi Li was feeling a bit of danger from Shi Kuai, which made him ecstatic.
Not long after, Shi Kuai clenched his fist as he released all of the strength on his legs in one burst, moving at incredibly high speeds.
"[Lightning Burst!]"
...
Shi Li saw that Shi Kuai was heading towards him, which made him blurt out...
"Shit."
He hurriedly ran away from the area, heading towards another end of the stage. Yet Shi Kuai's speed was so fast that it could easily catch up with Shi Li at his full strength.
'Interface, what's Shi Kuai's second skill?' Shi Li asked as he continued to run, stalling for time.
He knew that the eye was able to identify Shi Kuai's skill, which is why he asked about it so he could proceed with a counterattack.
~~~~~~~~
[Lightning Burst]
[Level]: 1
[Description]:
Harness the untapped potential within the cultivator's body, this potential is converted to easily usable energy, allowing the cultivator to show a strength beyond their current realm.
Consumes one small grade in Vitality, Defense, and Intelligence in exchange for an increase of a small grade in Strength and Agility, and doubled combat strength for 2 minutes.
~~~~~~~~
'So that's why he was able to move so fast,' Shi Li said inwardly. 'He exchanged a small grade of three stats for a boost in the two stats he needed.'
'I assume that a deduction of one small grade is similar to a change from B- to C+. If that's the case, Shi Kuai's intelligence is only at C level, which means tactics that use the brain would easily fool him!' Shi Li instantly deduced.
'Interface, do you know the reason why Shi Kuai is chasing me?' Shi Li asked as this was something he needed in order for a plan he formulated at the last second to work.
~~~~~~~~
Reason: Shi Kuai's pride has been tarnished by User, forming a small enmity between the two of you. At the time User was agitating Shi Kuai, this enmity turned into a rage that fueled Shi Kuai, clouding his capability in decision-making.
After being forced to use a skill that sacrifices intelligence, the amount of brain power that Shi Kuai can use is only limited. Rage has almost consumed his brain.

'Have any suggestions as to what I should say to agitate him more?'

Recommended topics:
Wanting to kill User - 90% chance of increased agitation
Never surpass Shi Shisi - 72% chance of increased agitation
Underwear has a hole - 43% chance of increased agitation
Useless person - 22% chance of increased agitation

~~~~~~~~
Shi Li glanced over the possible topics to say and decided to use the first two as they had a higher chance of being effective.
After minutes of playing cat and mouse, Shi Kuai's stamina was being drained as he used his full strength in running. To his surprise, Shi Li stopped all of a sudden and turned around, looking at him with a foolish grin.
This mocking grin was ignored by Shi Kuai, ending up grinning as he said, "Prepare to lose!"
"Eh?" Shi Li shouted. "Me? Lose? Hah! You can't even surpass Shi Shisi in terms of strength, you won't get anywhere with that amount of strength!"
Shi Kuai abruptly stopped after hearing Shi Li's words of agitation. He gritted his teeth as the rage within intensified, as if his eyes could shoot out flames.
"What...did you say?"
"Do I have to repeat it?" Shi Li intentionally sneered. "You're not a match for Shi Shisi, including me! We have been running for a while now, but you still haven't caught up! I thought you wanted to kill me?"
"Grrrrrhhhhh..." Shi Kuai took a deep breath as his rage level flew to the roof, shouting, "How dare you! I was just playing with you! Now you've done it!"
All of a sudden, Shi Kuai dashed towards Shi Li at a faster speed than before, which shocked Shi Li yet was still able to remain calm.
Shi Li then grabbed his hammer as he slammed at multiple areas around him, forming numerous magma pools. He then controlled the individual magma pools with his hammer, forming a magma ball three-fourths of a meter in diameter.
Afterwards, he stuck the hammer to the ground on its shaft as he started to move in a bizarre manner.
Gradually, an aura of the heavens and earth started to exude out of Shi Li as if he was becoming one with nature. Deciding that it was time, Shi Li attacked the magma ball.
"[Triacontadigon Wind Gavotte: Four Melodious Harmonies]!"
Bang!
The magma absorbed the attack rather than bursting in countless directions. But as this happened, an aura of heaven and earth started to surround the magma ball, reinforcing its strength, as if it grew twice as strong.
Shi Li looked at the magma ball and nodded. The idea of infusing the aura of the heavens and earth into his martial techniques came to him as he was mastering the first technique crafted from the [Ardent Magma Manipulation Art]. To his surprise back then, the infusion worked and gave the attack a power of at least twofold, depending on how much moves were used.
Shi Li then grabbed the hammer at the exact moment Shi Kuai punched out with his full strength.
"Aggggh! Die!"
Shi Li hurriedly took multiple steps back as he waved his hammer, throwing the magma ball towards Shi Kuai.
"No, you!"
The large magma ball instantly collided wih Shi Kuai's body as Shi Kuai was still heading towards Shi Li at a high speed. As this happened, the magma ball bursted, spreading in different directions, yet most of the magma fell on Shi Kuai's body.
The force behind the magma ball also made Shi Kuai's massive body fly through the air and collide with the barrier with a bang.
Shi Kuai then landed on the ground with a thud as multiple burns that were larger than the previous ones he received could be seen. Shi Li looked at Shi Kuai's burnt body before walking out of the barrier.
Multiple people were in a daze as they saw this fight that lasted a few minutes. It wasn't action-packed, yet the moves the two opponents used were of a high level.
Shi Shisi saw Shi Li's ruthlessness in his attacks and couldn't help but mutter, "Damn! With that kind of personality, he might end up dead or...become a legend."
Shi Xingtai looked at the fleeting silhouette of Shi Li before shaking his head to jolt himself back to reality. He then coughed to grab everyone's attention before announcing...
"The winner is...Shi Li!"
