At this moment, Shi Yan was looking at Lin Rui.
She herself was eager to challenge this guy.
It had been eight months since last summer’s exchange battle, and she had many encounters during this period. Now, her Bloodline Ability and Martial Arts Accomplishment had made significant progress.
Also, Sword Intent and Conceptual Power—Shi Yan’s concept corresponding to the ‘Immortal Sword Intent’ had undergone fundamental changes!
Therefore, Shi Yan wanted to fight Lin Rui once more, to decide the winner on the widely watched arena stage!
In this tournament, Shi Yan had never gone all out, just to maintain her peak condition, preparing for this battle with Lin Rui.
However, the moment Lin Rui’s indifferent gaze swept over her, Shi Yan inexplicably felt goosebumps all over, with a strong chill invading her body.
“This guy?”
Shi Yan narrowed her eyes, a hint of annoyance showing in the depths of her gaze.
This annoyance was not directed at Lin Rui, but at herself, for she had just felt a strong aversion to Lin Rui, along with a hint of fear.
She actually felt fear from just one look from Lin Rui.
“You better be careful, Shi Yan.”
At this moment, a melodious and ethereal voice entered her mind: “I feel that this young man has the aura of my kind.”
“My kind?” Shi Yan was slightly stunned, and she sized up Lin Rui: “Does this guy also possess remnants of a Divine Spirit?”
“Not sure.” The ethereal voice spoke: “It might be remnants of a Divine Spirit, or perhaps a vessel for a Divine Spirit’s resurrection. Seeing that his mind is clear, it’s probably the former, but it’s not certain. You will be fighting him tomorrow, right? Then you will know the truth about him.”
Shi Yan furrowed her brows, her gaze becoming complicated.
Is her destined rival, the one she has been longing to challenge, actually one of her own kind?
Afterwards, her mind was somewhat preoccupied, and she didn’t really pay much attention to the intense battle happening on the stage.
—Shi Yan really didn’t care much, in her eyes, other than Lin Rui, there were no other noteworthy figures in the Mingde University Martial Arts team.
That Wang Sen was truly formidable! Shi Yan didn’t know what this man had gone through in the past half-year; his Cultivation Bloodline had actually reached 5SS+.
Although his physical and spiritual power had not reached the standards of a Colonel Rank, his Bloodline Ability had barely entered the threshold of 5SS+, yet he possessed a systematic ‘Xuanwu Sacred Body,’ and his martial arts score had also reached the 5S+ level.
He had used his overwhelming cold power to freeze the qi and blood of a Fifth Realm frontline player from Sky Capital Martial University, ultimately winning.
Although Wang Sen’s spiritual power and Bloodline Talent are strong, his accumulation in martial arts is weak, and crucially this guy seems insufficient in Yang Qi, still not catching Shi Yan’s eye.
However, just after Mingde University’s second player, Nolan Wei, was knocked off the stage by the second player from Sky Capital Martial University, Zhang Jie suddenly exclaimed.
“Strange, the mainstay of Mingde University isn’t Fang Ranran but has been replaced by Zhao Yan!”
Shi Yan’s eyebrows raised, and she looked towards Zhao Yan who had already leaped onto the stage.
Zhao Yan has always been recognized as the second in Mingde University’s Martial Arts Club, with combat power only behind Lin Rui, also serving as the Deputy General.
This time Zhao Yan took on the role of the mainstay—
The outcome of this next battle was within everyone’s expectations.
This Zhao Yan has decent strength and is a hardworking person, but his talent is only among the top ten. In teams at the level of Sky Capital Martial University and Future Science University, at most he could only be a mainstay.
Especially since Zhao Yan wasted most of half a year.
Currently, Zhao Yan’s Cultivation Bloodline is also weak at 5SS+, similar to Wang Sen, but very barely, Shi Yan noticed Zhao Yan was under heavy mental pressure and was also approaching his limit.
This person’s spiritual power talent is actually not as good as Wang Sen; that chubby guy might have insubstantial Primordial Qi, but his spiritual power is far from the limit and can bear more armaments, his talent close to the Hall level, maybe even stronger than Zhang Jie.
Only, Zhao Yan has been in the Fifth Realm for over three months longer.
Zhao Yan not only reached the physical quality of a Colonel Rank, but also has an accumulation in martial arts at the 5SS level.
The problem is this person practices a strength type of martial arts; once weaker in strength compared to the opponent, it becomes difficult to win in combat.
Zhao Yan defeated the forward player from Sky Capital Martial University who had been exhausted by Wang Sen and Nolan Wei’s consecutive fights, but lost to the mainstay of Sky Capital Martial University.
“Interesting—”
Shi Yan’s lips curved up slightly, looking towards Mingde University’s head coach Fei Yunlai: “That person with the surname Fei clearly believes Fang Ranran’s strength is stronger.”
Her other teammates also showed puzzled expressions.
They noticed Fang Ranran had held back in several fights in the last few days, but to say her strength is stronger than Zhao Yan’s might be a bit of a stretch.
This woman’s entire set of armaments is top-notch, yet her overall rating only reached 5SS; her application of the Martial Arts Extreme Intent ‘Jie’ and related concepts was also unremarkable.
But as soon as the battle began, the entire third Martial Arts Stadium buzzed, emitting a thunderous noise that shook the heavens.
Over a million gazes were focused on Fang Ranran.
Shi Yan also suddenly stood up, looking at the stage with great surprise.
Only because just now, Fang Ranran had used just one sword strike to blast the mainstay of Tianjing Martial University off the stage!
Moreover, it was when the mainstay of Tianjing Martial University had already successfully blocked, yet she blasted him over thirty yards away with one sword!
After landing, that person actually knelt on the ground, unable to stand up, with blood oozing from his seven facial orifices.
“This power——”
Zhang Jie looked incredulous, both people on the stage were of the Fifth Realm, how could there be such a great disparity in their strength?
He immediately became stern: “It’s not strength, it’s concept!”
The head coach of Future Science University also suddenly stood up, his gaze intense as he looked down at the arena: “It’s Elixir Heart and Unity, with a strength of only about 8%, not too strong, but——”
Elixir Heart as solid as iron, Unity as unbreakable as a fortress!
The head coach flicked through news about Fang Ranran: “She has high popularity, and the public sentiment gathered is also very strong!”
After this semi-final of the University Martial Arts League Championship, broadcast by all national television and video media, Fang Ranran’s popularity and recognition will only get higher.
Currently, the nature of this girl’s ‘Elixir Heart’ is unknown, but just by seeing her overwhelm her opponent with one sword strike, it’s clear that Fang Ranran’s ‘Elixir Heart’ is a kind of resolution and conviction that can gather the hearts and minds of the people to the greatest extent!
The two Martial Intents cultivated by Fang Ranran are quite miraculous, not only requiring a strong enough belief that people hope for and acknowledge, but also high popularity trusted by a large number of people, to manifest its divine might.
Otherwise, no matter how high the concept strength is, it has no power whatsoever.
The head coach of Future Science University’s face darkened: “Tiantao! Tomorrow we need to change the battle order, Shi Yan will be the main fighter, and you will follow as the Deputy General.”
Including Zhang Jie and Shi Yan, many team members of Future Science University were extremely surprised as they looked toward their team leader Ji Tiantao.
Ji Tiantao frowned deeply, lost in thought.
He was contemplating the pros and cons.
The head coach turned to Ji Tiantao and said earnestly, “Tiantao, Shi Yan’s ‘Immortal Sword’ has strong combat power, comparable to Dragon Transformation, yet her Primordial Spirit strength is only of the Fifth Realm, restricted by Fang Ranran’s Sword Intent and concept. If Shi Yan battles first, it will not serve the purpose of depleting Lin Rui’s energy. Only with your Dragon Transformation cultivation can you resist her Sword Intent up front. Your martial arts far surpass hers, sufficient for a quick victory!”
Ji Tiantao was reluctant, but after a moment, he nodded indifferently: “Okay!”
Ji Tiantao didn’t take this head coach seriously, yet he had to consider the ‘Abyss Group’ that this person represented.
This was a will of a giant consortium with a total market value of seventeen trillion, not to be defied!
Shi Yan, hearing this, was also extremely displeased, her expression sour.
The head coach actually thought she was no match for that woman Fang Ranran?
“He’s right,” the voice in Shi Yan’s mind spoke up again: “She must be a high-ranking official of your Heavenly Demon. So young and already so illustrious and respected, gathering so much public sentiment.
Unless you use my power, you will lose to her now. Her martial arts accomplishments are nowhere near yours, yet that swordsmanship, gathering the will of thousands, is enough to break all methods and overpower everything! And Jie’s Martial Art, blocking everything, can ensure her power doesn’t go to waste, this girl’s teacher is probably no ordinary person.”
On the stage, Fang Ranran held her sword, her spirit soaring.
Her venerable mentor once said that whether Fang Ranran could reach the pinnacle of martial arts in the future was not something she could achieve by her own efforts alone, it depended on her fate.
Fang Ranran felt her luck was quite good, being able to lead at the age of twenty, gathering the hearts and spirits of the people, deeply fathoming the subtleties of ‘Elixir Heart’ and ‘Unity’.
She was filled with confidence, feeling that her current strength could pierce through three layers, and defeating Tianjing Martial University was not a problem.
However, about four minutes later, Fang Ranran walked towards the stage with a calm face.
She glanced back at Tianjing Martial University’s main fighter, Lin Chengwu, her expression slightly reluctant.
This main fighter of Tianjing Martial University had indeed transformed into a dragon, Fang Ranran only withstood 7 moves against him.
Lin Rui couldn’t help but chuckle silently, and walked towards the stage with a knife.
He was not surprised at all by Fang Ranran’s swift defeat; her ‘Elixir Heart’ and ‘Unity’ against those of the same level, and those with lesser Divine Soul power, were overwhelmingly strong.
But if the opponent could withstand her spiritual onslaught, then the victory must be decided by their respective martial arts strength.
The problem was Fang Ranran had so many other matters to attend to, she simply didn’t have time to seriously cultivate her Jie’s Martial Art.
However, today’s battle in the championship, where Fang Ranran consecutively defeated two enemies from Tianjing Martial University, a powerful team with all members above the Fifth Realm, was enough to make her name, though defeated yet glorious.
Lin Rui then made a nimble leap onto the stage, his eyes catching a glimpse of Lin Chengwu across from him, and the Sixth Realm Super Emperor Battle Dragon behind him, a trace of different colors appeared in his eyes.
Lin Chengwu was also watching him, his eyes aloof, full of fighting spirit.
What do you think?
