Five radiant figures of lightning formed a circle, constantly shifting positions to confine Ling Bai in the center. Arrows of Soul Power-shaped lightning bolts condensed and shot at Ling Bai from all directions!
Staring at the chaotic lightning shadows and arrows, Ling Bai's pupils emitted a golden glow that rivaled the lightning!
Seven Strikes with One Sword!
Seven swords formed different stances, each unique yet arranged with perfect precision in the Seven-Pointed Star Formation!
Advanced First Soul Skill!
Radiant Spirit Formation: Control!
The Seven-Pointed Star Formation unfolded, spreading out in the form of the Big Dipper Formation Diagram, perfectly intercepting every arrow Chu Qingtian shot!
The Big Dipper Formation Diagram enveloped and compressed the lightning, forcing it into a thicker, more brilliant Golden Arrow, aiming at one of the constantly shifting lightning shadows!
"How did he know!?
Chu Qingtian's face was filled with shock; the Golden Arrow had locked onto his true form! With a one in five chance, how did Ling Bai find him!
Luck?
Or ability?
"Go!"
Ling Bai shouted coldly, and the Golden Arrow shot back at a speed even faster than when it came, bursting into a dazzling light in the dark sky!
"Boom-"
The Golden Arrow drew a beautiful arc and, without any surprise, Chu Qingtian was directly shot to pieces!
Of course, at the last moment, he swapped positions with one of the lightning shadows, which took the hit in his place.
"You have three more chances."
Ling Bai smiled at Chu Qingtian, extending three fingers. This scene appeared to Chu Qingtian like a demon's countdown, as if he would be chopped up and made into dumplings when time ran out!
Cold sweat trickled down, gathering at his chin, and finally dripped onto the ground. Chu Qingtian and the three lightning shadows stood frozen in place, as if in a surreal tableau.
Attack? He couldn't!
Defend? He couldn't!
Escape? He couldn't!
Monster!
Chu Qingtian's mind was filled with the word "monster." In the past, these words were used to describe him.
Every Shrek Academy student was once a monster in someone else's story, but in this gathering of monsters, only the monsters among monsters had the right to be called monsters!
"Second Soul Skill, Evil-Banishing Slash."
No matter what Chu Qingtian thought, Ling Bai's attack wouldn't stop. A beam of golden sword energy slashed down, its target clear: Chu Qingtian's true form!
"Again!"
This time, Chu Qingtian was certain that Ling Bai wasn't just guessing; he truly had the ability to see through the lightning shadows!
Another position swap!
"Boom!"
Four lightning shadows remained, two of which, along with Chu Qingtian's true form, appeared to others like chickens in a slaughterhouse, waiting for the butcher's bloody blade to fall!
"Boom-"
The same sword energy, the same explosion!
Chu Qingtian had only one lightning shadow left!
Du Weilun, who had been watching the battle for a long time, suddenly turned to Zhang Lexuan and said, "Lexuan, don't you think Ling Bai's perception ability is particularly
strong?"
"Yeah, it's a bit too strong."
Zhang Lexuan agreed with Du Weilun. Chu Qingtian was known as the fastest in the outer academy, and at the Soul Master level, his speed was among the top. No matter which direction or position he changed to, Ling Bai always seemed to predict it in advance.
Prediction wasn't quite accurate; Ling Bai had actually locked onto Chu Qingtian, making the lightning shadows seem like mere clowns.
Zhang Lexuan continued, "If his mental realm were deep enough, he wouldn't be fooled by the lightning shadows. The Six-Winged Angel is strong, but its strength lies in its divine attributes, not mental power. Ling Bai's mental cultivation shouldn't be enough to break through the lightning shadows... Could it be some secret technique from the Nine Treasures
Crystal Tower?"
"Probably."
Du Weilun thought about it, and Zhang Lexuan's guess seemed the most plausible.
An ancient sect with a ten-thousand-year legacy having any fancy secret techniques wasn't
surprising.
Ling Bai, being in the midst of the battle, didn't hear their conversation. In fact, both Zhang Lexuan and Du Weilun were wrong. The Nine Treasures Crystal Tower had never had such a secret technique. This was one of his innate talents, derived from his second martial soul, the Death Prison Spider Emperor!
The Six-Winged Angel, as a divine-level martial soul, was formidable, but the Death Prison Spider Emperor, which could stand its ground and even slightly dominate, was no less
impressive.
Apart from the Rakshasa Divine Power flowing through his veins, the Death Prison Spider Emperor, a fusion of the Death Spider Emperor and the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor, two top-tier soul beasts, had reached the pinnacle of the death attribute!
Ultimate Death!
One of the three ultimate talents of the Death Prison Spider Emperor: Spider King Sense!
Spider webs vibrate when touched by external forces, and as a spider-type soul beast, the Death Prison Spider Emperor could sense danger before it arrived. As the soul possessor, Ling Bai transformed into a human radar, able to perceive the exact location of any entity within a certain range that harbored malice or hostility towards him!
The Blazing Bone Dragon Gryphon that had attempted to ambush him in the Star Dou Great Forest, and now Chu Qingtian using lightning shadows to interfere, were both exposed by the
Spider King Sense.
Spider King Sense was Ling Bai's passive talent. Even without activating the Death Prison Spider Emperor soul, he could detect a circular area with a 100-meter radius centered on his body. Any creature attempting to catch him off guard would only face despair in the presence
of the Spider King Sense.
"One real, one fake, let's settle this at once."
Ling Bai's eyes reflected Chu Qingtian and the last struggling lightning shadow. He had a
good grasp of Chu Qingtian's level.
He had some stuff, but not much.
He posed almost no threat, so Ling Bai lost interest in continuing the fight!
The second soul ring glowed brightly!
Evil-Banishing Slash!
"What's going on?" Chu Qingtian had already prepared for the final battle, but seeing the Evil-Banishing Slash, he
hesitated.
The golden sword energy wasn't aimed at his true form or the remaining lightning shadow; it
was aimed at the empty ground between them!
"An opportunity!"
Chu Qingtian's eyes suddenly lit up. The most prominent advantage of a speed-type souln/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
master was speed and burst power, aiming for a one-hit kill! He didn't know if Ling Bai's move was accidental or a mistake, but he knew this was his chance to turn the tide! The First Soul Skill, Swift Lightning, activated, and his feet sparked with electricity, his speed
skyrocketing!
At the same time, Chu Qingtian's long-restrained fourth soul ring finally glowed!
"Fourth Soul Skill, Thunderstorm!"
Chu Qingtian roared, as if venting all the frustration and anger of the battle. A large amount of
golden lightning gathered around him, his originally handsome face distorting. His speed, strength, and physical resilience increased, making him seem like a wild, electrified leopard!
"Go, Brother Chu! Take him down!"
The inner academy freshmen who knew him well shouted, and Bei Bei and Tang Ya couldn't help but clench each other's hands. They could all see that this was the decisive moment!
"A bit hasty."
Watching Chu Qingtian's all-out attack, the experienced Zhang Lexuan and Du Weilun shook
their heads.
Chu Qingtian had overlooked a simple fact: with Ling Bai's demonstrated abilities, how could The make such a ridiculous mistake as a soul skill missing its target!
Sure enough, just as Chu Qingtian charged with all his might, the golden sword energy suddenly split into two, one attacking the lightning shadow that was coordinating the attack,
the other striking Chu Qingtian's true form!
Advanced Second Soul Skill, Evil-Dispelling Dual Blade Slash!
The lightning shadow instantly vanished!
The Evil-Banishing Slash easily penetrated the lightning around Chu Qingtian, sending his
body flying and rolling on the ground.
"I haven't lost yet!" Chu Qingtian, eyes bloodshot, struggled to his feet. The Holy Sword Qi had left a bloody gash
on his shoulder, soaking his clothes in blood.
Ling Bai frowned slightly. He had held back; otherwise, with the combined attack power of
the Six-Winged Angel and the Holy Angel Sword, Chu Qingtian's entire arm would have been
severed instantly.
It was just an evaluation, and he didn't want to cause serious injury, but he hadn't expected Chu Qingtian to be so determined.
"Radiant Spirit Formation: Storm."
His indifferent words fell, and sacred power condensed into a golden tornado that roared
towards the exhausted Chu Qingtian!
"Aaaaah!"
Chu Qingtian's piercing scream echoed within the tornado!
Then, Moonlight splashed from the sky, tearing through the Holy Tornado in the strongest
way possible, gently placing Chu Qingtian on the ground.
Chu Qingtian's tightly closed eyes slowly opened, and he felt all over his body.
Arm? It's there!
Legs? They're there!
Everything? It's all there!
Completely unharmed!?
Chu Qingtian realized that he had only been cut by the clothing, and his previous screams
were purely psychological.
Ling Bai walked forward, extending a hand to the fallen Chu Qingtian and smiled, "Thanks for
the match, Brother Chu."
