Lin Ye parried with his spear.
On the pure-white stage, his body was caught in the invisible blade energy, jolting him backward.
SLICE!
The faint sound of flesh being cut was followed by a bloody gash appearing out of thin air on Lin Ye's left shoulder. Blood instantly soaked his black combat suit.
His spear had clearly blocked the blade's trajectory, but the force seemed to ignore the physical parry, striking his body directly!
'This is... the Vein Opening Realm?'
Lin Ye's heart plummeted.
Today's Martial Artists divided the first three realms into the Body Refining Realm, the Vein Opening Realm, and the Gang Condensation Realm.
Lin Ye himself, along with the vast majority of students from the Martial Arts High Schools in this competition, was still at the initial Body Refining Realm.
As its name suggested, the Body Refining Realm involved honing one's muscles, bones, and skin, condensing their Qi and Blood, and repeatedly breaking through the body's physical limits.
