"That's impossible!"
Zi Ji screamed and poured all her soul power into the defense in front of her.
But the God-Slaying Spear ignored all defenses and pierced through layer after layer of water curtains.
Finally, the spear tip stopped three inches in front of Murasaki's throat.
The wind from the gunshot blew her hair up and left a small bloody scratch on her face.
Zi Ji's body stiffened, and she dared not move.
She had no doubt that if Lin Yuan wanted to kill her, this bullet would have already pierced her throat.
The God-Slaying Spear hovered in the air, its tip trembling slightly, as if awaiting its master's command.
Lin Yuan raised his hand and the God-Slaying Spear flew back into his hand.
"You lost."
Lin Yuan's voice was calm, as if he had done something insignificant.
Zi Ji stood there, stunned, unable to come to her senses for a long time.
She looked down at the still glowing mark on her chest, then at the unhealed wound on her right hand.
The expression on his face changed from shock to bitterness.
"I lost."
Murasaki's voice was very soft, but everyone on the stage could hear it clearly.
A deathly silence fell over the audience, then a deafening roar erupted.
"You won already? After only a few rounds?"
"A level 62 Soul Emperor couldn't even put up a fight against Lin Yuan?"
"That's the Abyss Demon Dragon Martial Soul! How could it be so easily crushed!"
"Didn't you see? Zi Ji's attacks couldn't hurt Lin Yuan at all!"
"And Zi Ji couldn't block Lin Yuan's attacks at all!"
"Is this the strength of a level 69 Soul Emperor? It's terrifying!"
"No, it's not just a matter of level, it's also the difference in martial spirit and spirit rings!"
"The God-Slaying Spear Martial Soul, a 100,000-year Soul Ring... This is not even in the same league!"
On the stands, Emperor Xueye's eyes were filled with shock.
He had witnessed countless battles between powerful individuals, but he had never seen such an overwhelming duel.
The difference between level 62 and level 69, a difference of seven levels, should not be so vast.
The only explanation is that Lin Yuan's strength far exceeds his own level.
Ning Fengzhi took a deep breath. "This Lin Yuan is even stronger than I imagined."
"Zi Ji had no chance to fight back against him."
"If he uses his full strength, I'm afraid even Murasaki won't be able to withstand a single move."
Gu Rong stood behind Ning Fengzhi, his gaze solemn.
He is a master swordsman, and his greatest skill is seeing through a person's strength.
But Lin Yuan gave him the feeling of a bottomless lake.
In Shrek's spectator stands, Flander's face was filled with shock, and he was unable to calm down for a long time.
"Is this kid a monster? Even with Zi Ji's powerful domain, it's like paper in front of him."
"That gun, that murderous aura, it's simply not something a human should have."
Tang San's gaze fell on Lin Yuan, a hint of seriousness flashing in his eyes.
He had been observing Lin Yuan's fighting style, trying to find a weakness.
But the more he looked, the heavier his heart became.
Lin Yuan's fighting style lacked fancy techniques; it was purely about overwhelming strength.
One force can overcome ten techniques; in the face of absolute strength, any skill is futile.
"If I were to fight him..."
Tang San secretly pondered the matter and then came to a conclusion that left him feeling frustrated.
With his current strength, his chances of winning are almost zero.
Dai Mubai clenched his fist, his knuckles turning white from the force.
He has always considered himself a genius, but today, his confidence has been hit like never before.
"Is this the difference...?"
Dai Mubai said in a low voice, his voice tinged with bitterness.
Ma Hongjun and Oscar exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.
They knew Lin Yuan was strong, but they didn't expect him to be this strong.
Even a level 62 Soul Emperor couldn't put up a fight against Lin Yuan.
This is no longer a battle; it's a one-sided crushing defeat.
On the competition stage, Zi Ji took a deep breath and dispersed her soul power.
The wound on her right hand was still bleeding, but she couldn't care less.
"I concede."
Zi Ji's voice was calm, but a hint of resentment still flashed in her eyes.
Lin Yuan nodded and sheathed the God-Slaying Spear.
"I appreciate your concession."
Afterwards, Lin Yuan withdrew the murderous aura from Zi Ji's body.
The host raised his hand and announced loudly.
"Match over! Lin Yuan of Team Tiandou wins!"
Thunderous applause erupted from the audience.
Although the match was short, it was far more exciting than the first one.
Lin Yuan's displayed strength shocked everyone.
A level 69 Soul Emperor, with one red and five black Soul Rings, and the God-Slaying Spear Martial Soul.
Each of them is a legendary figure, yet they are all concentrated in one person.
On the preparation bench of the Tiandou team, everyone was full of excitement.
Dugu Yan looked at Lin Yuan's back with eyes full of admiration.
"This guy is too strong."
Zhu Zhuyun nodded, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
"Zi Ji is no match for him at all."
...
On the competition stage, Lin Yuan put away his gun and stood with a calm gaze toward the Tianshui team's preparation area.
Zi Ji had already conceded defeat and left the arena, while the third member of the Tianshui team, unsurprisingly, stood up.
Her long, silvery-white hair cascaded down like a waterfall, and a faint smile graced her exquisite face.
Gu Yuena.
She walked gracefully onto the competition stage, wearing a long silver-white dress.
Every step felt like walking on clouds, giving people an unreal sense of beauty.
Lin Yuan looked at Gu Yuena, a hint of seriousness flashing in his eyes.
This woman is the one he truly wants to confront.
Gu Yuena stood opposite Lin Yuan and nodded slightly.
"Your strength is greater than I imagined."
Her voice was clear and melodious, like a mountain stream.
Lin Yuan said calmly, "Likewise."
The host raised his hand and announced loudly: "The third match is between Lin Yuan from the Tiandou team and Gu Yuena from the Tianshui team!"
"Please release your Martial Souls!"
As soon as they finished speaking, their soul power erupted simultaneously.
Gu Yuena's basic information was also displayed on the large screen.
Tianshui Team: Gu Yuena.
Martial Soul: Silver Dragon King.
Soul Power: Level 69, Power Attack Type Battle Soul Emperor.
Soul Ring Configuration: Purple Purple Black Black Black Black.
Another gasp rang out from the audience.
"Another level 69!"
"Silver Dragon King Martial Soul? What kind of Martial Soul is this? Is it a mutated dragon-type Martial Soul? I've never seen one before."
"This match is going to be interesting. They're evenly matched; I wonder who will win!"
"Lin Yuan's spirit ring configuration is better, but Gu Yuena's martial spirit is not weak either. Moreover, Lin Yuan's spirit power has been exhausted in the last match, while Gu Yuena is still in a state of complete victory."
"The outcome is uncertain!"
On the competition stage, Gu Yuena made the first move.
She gently raised her hand, and the water elements in the air instantly surged.
"Control of ice elements, freeze a thousand miles!"
Countless ice crystals condensed in the air, transforming into a barrage of ice spikes that shot towards Lin Yuan.
Each icicle was incredibly sharp and carried an extreme chill.
Lin Yuan moved instantly, activating the Void Step.
His figure moved through the rain of icicles like a ghost.
However, there were so many ice spikes that they covered the entire playing area.
Lin Yuan raised his hand, and the God-Slaying Spear swept across.
"Sweep across the eight wastelands!"
A dark golden spear beam swept out in a fan shape, shattering all the ice spikes in front of it.
Ice shards scattered and danced in the air, refracting a rainbow of colors in the sunlight.
Gu Yuena didn't pause, and drew circles with both hands in front of her.
"Water element control, water tornado!"
A giant water dragon rose from the ground and roared as it rushed toward Lin Yuan.
The water dragon's body is entirely composed of high-pressure water flow, which rotates and generates a huge suction force.
Lin Yuan retreated rapidly, simultaneously thrusting out with his spear.
"breaking Dawn!"
The golden light pierced through the water dragon's body, and the water dragon exploded with a roar.
But the burst of water instantly transformed into countless ice needles, shooting towards Lin Yuan from all directions.
This is Gu Yuena's combo, a second attack after Water Dragon Burst.
A hint of admiration flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes as he spun the God-Slaying Spear in his hand.
"Godslayer Domain, activate!"
A dark red light surged from Lin Yuan's body, blocking all the ice needles.
The ice needles melted the moment they touched the dark red light, making it impossible to get close.
Gu Yuena looked at the dark red domain, a hint of solemnity flashing in her eyes.
"Such a powerful killing intent."
She could sense that the area contained an extreme killing power.
If you rush in, your water element will be completely suppressed.
Gu Yuena took a step back and raised her hands high.
"Control of Ice Elements, Frost Storm!"
In the sky, countless ice crystals converged into a massive storm.
Temperatures at the storm's center plummeted to below 100 degrees Celsius, freezing even the air.
A massive ice storm swept towards Lin Yuan, carrying an aura of destruction.
Lin Yuan raised his head and looked at the storm, without the slightest fear in his eyes.
He took a deep breath and activated the Chaos God-Slaying Technique within his body at full power.
"Fourth Soul Skill, God-Slaying Battle Body!"
A dark golden light burst forth from Lin Yuan's body, and a metallic luster appeared on his skin.
This soul skill can comprehensively enhance his strength, speed, defense, and recovery abilities.
With the blessing of the God-Slaying Battle Body, Lin Yuan's aura surged several times over.
He raised the God-Slaying Spear, its tip pointing towards the sky.
"Fifth Soul Skill, God-Slaying Limit Break!"
A blinding golden light erupted from the God-Slaying Spear, with the light at the tip of the spear reaching its peak.
This soul skill can greatly amplify attack power, and each strike contains destructive power.
With the two amplifying soul skills combined, Lin Yuan's aura had risen to a terrifying level.
Gu Yuena's expression changed slightly as she sensed the chilling power emanating from Lin Yuan.
"We can't let him build up his strength."
Gu Yuena waved her hands, and the icy storm swept in at an accelerated pace.
Lin Yuan's lips curled up slightly, and his figure vanished from the spot in an instant.
"Void Step!"
The next instant, he was already in the center of the ice storm.
The God-Slaying Spear swept across, and a huge golden spear beam cleaved the storm in two.
"Sweep across the eight wastelands!"
The storm was split in two and scattered to both sides.
A hint of shock flashed in Gu Yuena's eyes, but she did not panic.
She formed a mudra with her hands in front of her, and the water element in the air condensed again.
"Water elemental mastery, a thousand waves!"
Waves of water surged up from the ground, crashing down on Lin Yuan in layers.
Each wave contains tremendous impact, and each wave is stronger than the last.
Lin Yuan's figure flipped in the air, and the God-Slaying Spear kept pointing out.
"Dawn! Dawn! Dawn!"
Several beams of golden light shot out, piercing through the waves one by one.
But there were too many waves, one after another crashing through them.
Lin Yuan frowned slightly, knowing that things would be worn down if this continued.
His body sank, landing on the ground, the God-Slaying Spear embedded in the earth.
"Godslayer Shock!"
This was Lin Yuan's self-created soul skill. Dark golden light surged from the tip of the spear into the ground, and the entire arena began to shake violently.
A massive shockwave emanated from Lin Yuan and spread outwards. The thousands of waves collapsed instantly in the face of the shockwave, turning into a shower of water.
Gu Yuena was thrown back several steps by the shockwave, her face turning slightly pale. She looked at Lin Yuan, her eyes filled with even more seriousness.
She joined Tianshui Academy, so she can only use ice and water elemental abilities; if she were to use other elemental powers...
Gu Yuena shook her head, dismissing these thoughts.
Since we've chosen to compete as members of the Tianshui team, we must abide by the rules.
She took a deep breath, and her soul power surged once more.
"Ice elemental mastery, absolute zero!"
A ball of ice-blue light condensed between Gu Yuena's hands.
The sphere of light emanated an extreme chill, and the surrounding air began to condense.
This is the ultimate secret of ice elemental control, capable of freezing everything.
Lin Yuan felt the chill and knew he couldn't take this attack head-on.
He flashed and used the Void Step technique repeatedly, constantly shifting his position on the stage.
But Gu Yuena's orb of light had already locked onto him, and no matter where he moved, the orb would follow and turn.
"You can't dodge this move."
Gu Yuena said softly, and the ball of light in her hand shot out.
Lin Yuan stopped. Since he couldn't dodge it, he would defeat it head-on.
He raised the God-Slaying Spear, and the golden light at its tip condensed to its maximum.
"Fifth Soul Skill, God-Slaying Limit Break!"
"First Soul Skill, God-Slaying Piercing!"
With the two soul skills combined, the God-Slaying Spear burst forth with dazzling golden light. Lin Yuan thrust out the spear, and the tip of the spear collided head-on with the Absolute Zero Light Sphere.
"boom!"
A loud bang shook the entire competition stage.
The extreme chill and the extreme killing power collided, generating a huge shockwave.
The audience members shielded their eyes with their hands, unable to look directly at the blinding light.
As the light faded, Lin Yuan stood there, a thin layer of ice forming on his body.
But his expression remained calm as he circulated the internal energy of the Nine Yang Manual, shattering the thin ice instantly.
Gu Yuena took several steps back, her face pale.
Her absolute zero was directly shattered by Lin Yuan.
"So strong..."
Gu Yuena thought to herself.
With only the power of water element, he was indeed no match for Lin Yuan.
But she wouldn't give up easily; Gu Yuena's soul power surged wildly within her.
"Water element mastery, water giant!"
The water elements on the competition stage frantically condensed, transforming into a giant water figure ten meters tall.
The water giant raised its enormous fist and slammed it down on Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan dodged the punch with a swift movement.
But the water giant's attacks were relentless, one punch after another.
Lin Yuan weaved between the giant fists, searching for an opportunity to counterattack.
"What is the core of this water elemental?"
His gaze swept over the water giant's body, finally settling on its chest.
There is a water core the size of a fist there, which is the energy core of the water giant.
Lin Yuan's lips curled up slightly, and his figure vanished from the spot in an instant.
In the next instant, he was already at the chest of the water giant.
The God-Slaying Spear thrust out, its tip aimed directly at the water core.
"Godslayer Pierce!"
...
