In Li Wei's eyes, Zhang Zongming's comprehensive strength should be roughly comparable to that of vampire Konstdorf, perhaps even Konstdorf might be stronger.
But the actual combat situation is very different.
Back then, during the battle against the vampire, Li Wei launched a surprise attack with seven Lightning Carving Shells, directly injuring the opponent and preventing the vampire from exerting full combat power.
But now, Li Wei needs to deal with an expert in a complete state, who has undergone ultimate tempering, and the pressure is huge.
To be honest, if it weren't for the C-level gene fluid that had been injected long ago, which caused his physical fitness to be improved significantly in all aspects, Li Wei would have lost in the first round once Zhang Zongming launched the charge.
His eyes can see through Zhang Zongming's moves, but his body may not be able to respond in the critical moment of a split second!
After encountering a major crisis in the first encounter, Li Wei has become more cautious in the subsequent battles.
Indeed, compared with vampires - even those who are severely injured - Zhang Zongming is weaker in terms of speed, flexibility, and strength, which is why he doesn't dare to challenge Konstdorf alone. But in terms of combat skills and explosive power, this spear-master is very formidable.
With a slight flick of his wrist, the spear emerges like a dragon!
Li Wei must keep a constant watch on Zhang Zongming's wrist, observing his hand movements, down to the slightest movements of the muscles, with the Sharingan. Such scrutiny must be absolutely error-free, otherwise, he might be struck an unbearable blow by the explosive power of the spear.
For now, Li Wei has been doing quite well. Since the start of the battle, Zhang Zongming's spear has failed to inflict any harm on Li Wei in several rounds of engagement.
However, Li Wei has also failed to find an opportunity to counterattack.
In fact, just dealing with Zhang Zongming's spear makes Li Wei feel immense pressure, he dare not blink his eyes for fear of danger.
However, keeping the Sharingan active, especially concentrating non-stop on using the eyes' insight ability, has its costs and is quite physically taxing. Moreover, having to stay tensed and ready to dodge or respond to the lunging spear further intensifies his physical strain.
Continuing to fight like this, he couldn't find a glimmer of a chance for victory.
All onlookers thought so, including Irene and Judith, both women reaching a consensus.
"It seems this should be the limit, right?" Judith remarked, refraining from mentioning any bet.
Irene chimed in, "Yes, nearly. After all, Levi's eyes seem to have a good perceptive ability, likely belonging to an auxiliary type of supernatural power. Although it will greatly enhance his combat abilities, it still won't be able to bridge the gap with extreme tempering."
Judith continued, "Levi has managed to persist for so long against Zhang Zongming without sustaining injuries, which is already quite impressive. Irene, it's about time, stop this fight."
In their view, Levi showed potential, and they must not let him sustain severe injuries in this battle.
As for the quota issue, Erin intended to forcibly allocate it directly to Levi. That guy Zhang Zongming is over thirty years old and still hasn't made any progress - giving him a quota would be a total waste.
With Erin's status, she had the authority to give the quota to Levi, leaving Zhang Zongming with no say in the matter. She was the head of the Hunter's Guild branch in Sector 17, a former senior demon hunter, and an essential strong individual capable of completing Class A missions independently. Once she made up her mind to decide the recipient of a training quota, no one in Sector 17 could oppose her.
However, when Erin was about to intervene and put an end to the battle, the situation took another turn.
After being suppressed for half a day, Levi finally began to fight back!
Suddenly, a blue, demonic claw the size of a bull's head appeared in mid-air!
"What is that?" Judith exclaimed in surprise.
No one responded to her.
Only to see Li Wei transform and materialize this demonic claw, swiftly and accurately grasping directly at Zhang Zongming!
Faced with the incoming devil's arm, Zhang Zongming had no mental preparation at all, the speed of this pure energy entity was too fast beyond his imagination.
He only had time to flick his wrist, hoping to use the gun rod to knock away Li Wei's demonic hand.
But his idea was in vain.
In the blink of an eye, that demonic hand slightly turned over, actually grasping the spear body at the moment it was drawn.
Next, Li Wei moved his heart, and the demonic hand suddenly exerted force! The power at the extreme level was displayed from the demon claw!
Zhang Zongming held onto the gun rod and didn't let go, avoiding the situation of having his weapon taken away.
But this instead intensified his predicament, the tremendous force of the demonic hand pulled him along with the spear towards where Li Wei was!
The short blade brought forth a white glint, marking the first proactive attack Li Wei initiated in the entire battle as Xie Gang Flash struck out valiantly!
Zhang Zongming, however, was powerless to resist now.
Blood flickered as his right hand, severed at the shoulder, tumbled down!
The spear fell to the ground as Zhang Zongming clutched his wound, his constant stern expression vanished. Kneeling on one knee, he wailed in agony.
The Sharingan eyes submerged, the demonic claw dissipated. The surging blue demonic energy subsided as well, revealing his dark red demonic left hand, with the bandages originally wrapped around it shattered.
Li Wei exhaled deeply, slightly alleviating his physical weakness.
Employing the Sharingan, demonic left hand, and Xie Gang Flash simultaneously indeed posed a considerable burden. One round of exerting his full strength in an outburst made him feel slightly like his body was being overdrawn.
But... fighting with all one's might, this feeling is truly exhilarating!
Turning to look back, Zhang Zongming has already stopped howling. He holds his broken arm, kneeling on the spot, silent.
Li Wei had reserved some tricks. During the fight, he also noticed that several of Zhang Zongming's lethal moves were aimed at severely injuring him, but they did not target fatal vital spots, not intending to take his life directly.
In this case, you give me a peach, I will repay you with a plum. Since Zhang Zongming did not want to kill Li Wei, then Li Wei would not take his life.
You want me severely injured, I want your hand, that is not excessive.
Otherwise, when the opponent has completely lost the ability to resist, Li Wei's sword definitely had the ability to separate Zhang Zongming's head from his body.
However, for an expert skilled in using the spear who has completed ultimate tempering, the injury of an arm break, although not fatal, is enough to end his hunter career, which is also a cruel thing.
But, it's not Li Wei's concern anymore.
Looking up, he saw Eileen and Judith, along with Yasmin, approaching together.
All three had shocked expressions.
"Hello?" Li Wei greeted.
Eileen rushed forward and held onto Li Wei's arm with both hands, asking with great excitement: "Do you have dual talents?"
Li Wei was taken aback.
