Boom!
Sullen, Lin Xuefeng lifted his hand, and his palm was shrouded in dreamy misty rain. Instantly, thunderous collisions erupted from the training grounds and cracks split the paved ground.
Unsurprisingly, Lin Xun was again blasted backwards.
“I’ll show you the true power of the Spirit Sea Stage!”
Amidst Lin Xuefeng’s indifferent voice, he soared into the air. His body was ablaze as he looked over Lin Xun.
“Big Brother Xuefeng isn’t holding back anymore!”
“He should have done this earlier.”
The audience went wild with excitement, wishing that Lin Xuefeng would instantly defeat Lin Xun.
“But the kid is also a cultivation genius if he can force Xuefeng to show his true ability. But everything will change from now on,” Lin Huaiyuan murmured.
“Moving in the air and inflicting injury from a distance. There is no need to fight anymore. Young Master is already at a disadvantage.”Lin Zhong frowned with worry, his heart tensing up in his chest.
The most unique thing about the Spirit Sea Stage was the ability to fly in the air and attack from a distance, but Lin Xun wasn’t able to do so with his current cultivation level.
Based on that, he was already at a disadvantage against Lin Xuefeng!
In mid-air, Lin Xuefeng looked down contemptuously like a divine being looking over the world. He crossed his hands and made a random stroke in the air and brought down a shower of misty light that enveloped the entire area.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A burst of booming noises rang out.
The ethereal, misty light seemed gentle and soft, but the surrounding space collapsed with an ear-piercing thunder upon contact with it.
It was incredibly terrifying and was a unique secret art!
However, Lin Xun’s dark eyes didn’t ripple in the slightest. He bolted into a full-speed dash, flickering indefinitely like an erratic bolt of lightning
Whoosh!
Images of Lin Xun appeared as he flashed across the training grounds. His speed and body movements had to be incredible to achieve that. His terrifying speed helped him narrowly escape Lin Xuefeng’s powerful attack!
“How is that possible?”
“Big Brother Xuefeng’s attack had covered the entire area. It would be difficult for Heaven Dipper cultivators to evade his attack but Lin Xun…”
“How did he do that?”
“The power of the Spirit Sea Stage is terrifying! It was like an inescapable net crashing down! How did that kid dodge it?”
Uproar broke out. Everyone reacted with disbelief and horror as they couldn’t imagine how Lin Xun could evade Lin Xuefeng’s attack completely unscathed despite being in a disadvantaged situation.
“Hmph!”
Lin Xuefeng snorted coldly in the air. He again unleashed his unique art, bringing showers after showers of dazzling and dreamy misty rain down. Every blow could easily kill any Spirit Dipper cultivator and instill fear into any Spirit Sea Cultivators. The power from the attack plunged the training grounds into a state of chaos. The space whimpered, the air pulsed wildly, and deafening explosions pierced everyone’s ears.
The audience was repeatedly horrified, their hearts swaying wildly in their chests.
That was the power of the Spirit Sea Stage. Cultivators of the Spirit Sea Stage could kill enemies from a distance and unleash earthshaking powers with the turn of their hands.
Under the bombardment of such terrifyingly violent attacks, Lin Xun looked increasingly distressed. He was like a lonely boat that could capsize on the vast ocean at any moment.
Lin Zhong shuddered with fear and nervousness as he watched the dangerous scene unfold.
On the other hand, many people in the audience couldn’t help but cheer out loud. They thought that Lin Xun couldn’t escape this time!
However, Lin Xun continued to evade Lin Xuefeng’s ultimate move and escaped from the jaws of danger every single time. Although he looked troubled and had sustained multiple injuries as he evaded, he hadn’t fallen once!
“Let’s see how long you can survive!” A sinister look crossed Lin Xuefeng’s face as he continued to streak his hands across the air, bringing waves of misty light down like waterfalls.
The entire training ground quaked. It was obvious how terrifying Lin Xuefeng’s attack was.
However, Lin Xuefeng’s face looked increasingly red and the divine light around his body was surging frantically. He had almost consumed all his strength.
Under the bombardment of attacks, Lin Xun’s situation became more and more precarious. He was already riddled with wounds and dripping with blood.
Even so, his dark eyes remained terrifyingly calm.
He seemed to be dodging the attacks with difficulty, but he had never collapsed on the ground.
“Strange, why is that kid still not defeated?”
“Xuefeng is a Spirit Sea cultivator who has passed the national examination, but Lin Xun is only at the Heaven Dipper Stage. How is he able to survive his attacks till now?”
”I don’t understand. This battle is strange.”
Everyone was baffled as to how Lin Xun achieved that.
Even Lin Huaiyuan looked astonished. He could tell that Lin Xun seemed to have the ability to foresee the future, which allowed him to escape every single attack at the most critical moment.
It was too unbelievable.
“It turns out that Young Master’s understanding of the power of heaven and earth has reached an incredible level! He has even surpassed Lin Xuefeng, who is at the Spirit Sea Stage!” Lin Zhong trembled with shock.
Lin Xun indeed lacked the power to counterattack, but he was able to sharply capture when Lin Xuefeng drew upon the power of heaven and earth!
That ability allowed him to avoid the attacks one after another like he was able to foresee them.
Before long, something even more unexpected happened. Lin Xuefeng floated down and landed on the ground!
Lin Xuefeng couldn’t tell anyone his misery. Although he had an absolute advantage in the battle, he had exhausted his power after the multiple, full-strength attacks.
Since he had just broken through to the Spirit Sea Stage and couldn’t quite yet control its power, he didn’t dare to prolong the battle.
Otherwise, it would create an opportunity for Lin Xun!
However, he had a plan in mind. The moment his feet touched the ground, he charged toward Lin Xun at lightning speed.
If he couldn’t wound Lin Xun from a distance, he could change to close combat! With the power of the Spirit Sea Stage, even the slipperiest mudfish couldn’t escape!
However, Lin Xun suddenly halted when he saw Lin Xuefeng speeding toward him. It was as though he was waiting for that moment.
“Huh?”
Lin Xuefeng narrowed his eyes, seeming a little surprised.
Shua!
At that moment, the Flowing Light Blade appeared in his grip and Star-Gather, which Lin Xun had mastered to the perfect realm, emerged in the sky!
Everyone’s vision blurred, and they seemed to see an eternal darkness descending upon them. Thousands of stars looked like they were falling, and a destructive aura pervaded the air.
Bang!
Then, a blade strike sent Lin Xuefeng reeling back dozens of feet. If he hadn’t brought out his bronze sword to block the attack, it would have sliced him into two.
“You!” Lin Xuefeng raged. He couldn’t believe that Lin Xun could counterattack given that he was only at the Heaven Dipper Stage!
However, Lin Xun gave him no time to scream further as he charged forward and thrust his blade at him again!
The blade resembled the bright moon on the sapphire sea!
It contained the anger that Lin Xun had suppressed for a long time.
It was his counterattack against the ridicule and mocking he had suffered since the battle began!
Who wouldn’t be angry?
Who could truly remain indifferent to the endless provocation, mockery and humiliation?
Ever since he had stepped into the North Light Lin Clan’s territory, he had only received repulse and taunting and not the slightest hint of respect!
How could Lin Xun not be angry?
He had been waiting for such a moment for too long. Now that the moment had come, he planned to launch his most powerful attack: Moon-Catch, one of the three ultimate moves of the Heavenly Yuan Blade Art!
The world looked like it had become blanketed by eternal night and only a beam of blade light along with a bright moon hung high in the sky, casting a lonely and desolate light upon the world.
Indescribable despair spread uncontrollably in everyone’s hearts, and their expressions went lifeless.
Bang!
Lin Xuefeng roared in fury and did everything he could to counter the attack. Still, the bronze sword crumbled in his hand, and he failed to block the terrifying blade.
He hurtled across the air and collapsed on his butt with a thud. His handsome face blanched with terror, and he couldn’t help but spew out a mouthful of blood.
The audience fell deadly silent.
Everyone’s eyes widened with horror and disbelief.
One blade strike had severely wounded and defeated Lin Xuefeng!?
Who would believe it?
At that moment, even Lin Huaiyuan and the others were in utter shock. The blade art that Lin Xun performed had completely baffled them.
It didn’t seem like an attack of a Heaven Dipper cultivator!
It’s too strong!
They couldn’t imagine that such a mysterious blade art existed in the world and could help a Heaven Dipper teenager defeat someone at a higher cultivation level!
“It turns out that Young Master has a trump card up his sleeve!” Lin Zhong muttered excitedly.
He suddenly spun around and asked Third Old Zhu, “Did you see through the mystery of the blade art just now?”
Third Old Zhu didn’t respond.
Lin Zhong chuckled. He didn’t mind as he knew it was more difficult to make a quiet guy like Third Old Zhu speak than to ascend to the sky.
“It’s very similar to the imagery power of the Heaven Ascension Stage.” To Lin Zhong’s surprise, Third Old Zhu responded to him through a voice transmission.
He nodded as he had the same thought.
The power of Lin Xun’s blade broke the conventions of the world. It was like a divine art that only existed in legends.
Lin Xun’s figure was soaked in blood. He stood alone under the daylight, his handsome face filled with disdain.
Many clansmen of the North Light Lin Clan were utterly speechless like they had been slapped in the face. No one dared to utter a word.
Even the thought of Lin Xun sent a chill down their spine. That youngster is such a freak! How could he severely wound Lin Xuefeng with just the strength of the Heaven Dipper Stage! He’s too terrifying!
Afar, Lin Xuefeng sat in stunned silence on the ground. Then, his face suddenly turned livid and he unleashed a furious roar and sprang up. “How is that possible!?”
