Bab 251: Chapter 251: Is this the Battle of the Strong?
...
In the audience, the students and teachers of Shrek Academy were baffled. Wasn't this supposed to be a fight? Why were they just standing still?
Could it be...
Is this how powerful fighters duel? In just a moment, did they exchange dozens of moves? Or is this a psychological game, where they fight with their minds before the actual battle?
We have also read books! Don't think you can fool us!
The Shrek Six Monsters looked at the scene, their mouths twitching. This was indeed Zeng Yi's familiar style!
The masters in the audience, as well as Flender, helplessly massaged their foreheads. This guy really knows how to mess with people's minds! But this time, his target is Liu Erlong, the one with the most explosive temper in the academy. Hopefully, she won't end up too miserable.
However, Zeng Yi didn't bother thinking about these things. He only knew that he had successfully bought himself over ten seconds of time without expending any Spirit power. That was quite awesome.
Besides, isn't it normal to mess with your opponent's mindset?
Veins protruded on Liu Erlong's forehead, her right hand clenched into a fist, and her arm trembled slightly. Her already irritable temper was now on the verge of exploding.
"You sure are interesting, kid!" Liu Erlong's words seemed like praise, but her tone was full of anger.
As she shouted in anger, a terrifying aura erupted from Liu Erlong, releasing her formidable Spirit power. An invisible force centered around her created a fierce gust of wind, carrying a scorching heat.
Looking at the woman radiating terrifying Spirit power, Zeng Yi seemed to see the phantom of a flaming dragon behind her, roaring to the sky.
Zeng Yi had a feeling that even though he was standing on the battle stage, he was immersed in a sea of fire, with the scorching flames burning his body.
Facing this terrifying pressure, a drop of sweat involuntarily rolled down Zeng Yi's forehead, gliding over his cheeks, and dropping onto the granite floor, instantly evaporating into white smoke due to the scorching temperature.
What a terrifying fire dragon! Against such an opponent, there was no chance of winning without fighting to the death.
Zeng Yi's sharp gaze remained alert to Liu Erlong's movements, and he couldn't help but wryly smile. After a brief investigation, he understood what Liu Erlong's martial Spirit was.
Fire Dragon Martial Spirit.
Moreover, Liu Erlong was from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family. Although she didn't inherit her family's martial Spirit, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, her mutated Fire Dragon martial Spirit was no less powerful than the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial Spirit. It was also a top-tier assault-type beast martial Spirit.
Facing such a top-tier assault-type Spirit Saint, the pressure on Zeng Yi was unimaginable.
Liu Erlong's pitch-black pupils turned golden and vertical, emitting an endless majesty. These eyes were not human but dragon's eyes.
Golden dragon eyes burned with fiery flames.
Boom!
Liu Erlong's fists collided in front of her chest, a fanatical smile on her face as red flames burned around her body. At this moment, Liu Erlong appeared to be a flame Valkyrie with a high spirit of battle and a heroic temperament.
"Since you won't make a move, don't blame me for bullying a junior!"
Boom!
Liu Erlong's figure shot towards Zeng Yi like a flaming laser beam, leaving behind a beautiful trail of flames.
Zeng Yi gazed ahead, feeling the hot gusts of wind blowing on his cheeks, making his lips dry, and his clothes and long hair swayed wildly.
His Spirit power within started to activate, and an invisible cyclone began to rotate around his body.
His pitch-black eyes took on a cold silver color, and Zeng Yi's temperament suddenly changed.
Second Spirit skill, [Sword of Selflessness] activated.
Liu Erlong's figure quickly approached, her fists burning with intense flames, hammering towards Zeng Yi's body.
Not dodging? Planning to take my attack head-on?
Although Zeng Yi didn't have his martial Spirit triggered, nor did he use Spirit skills, a hit from him wasn't something an Spirit Elder like Zeng Yi could easily take. This guy sure is arrogant.
The thought flashed through his mind, but Liu Erlong had no intention of giving up on this attack. She controlled her strength, knowing that this attack wouldn't kill him, at most, it would injure him a bit. Besides, there were healing-type Spirit Masters in the academy who could treat him later.
With the scorching fist wind pressing down, Zeng Yi's gaze froze, his eyes sparkling.
He raised his left thumb to the edge of the blade, a shiny blade emerged from its sheath, radiating a chilling aura.
[Forward Steps Slash]
In an instant, Liu Erlong saw Zeng Yi, who was standing still, move.
In the blink of an eye, she, as a Spirit Saint, realized that Zeng Yi's figure had already passed her by, followed closely by an extremely dangerous chill.
A flash of icy sword light shimmered in the arena, gone in an instant. That moment was both beautiful and dangerous.
Zeng Yi's figure and Liu Erlong's figure crossed paths, but to the audience, it appeared as if in just a split second, Zeng Yi and Liu Erlong had swapped positions. The difference was that Zeng Yi already held a knife in his hand, its sharp blade glinting with a cold light.
Exchange of positions?
However, in the eyes of some strong students, they only saw an extreme speed.
They thought this battle would be over in an instant, a one-sided clash. But this one exchange excited them and made the battle thrilling.
What an exciting battle! Even though neither side used their spirit rings, just this instant exchange is not something other students in the academy can accomplish. What's more, one of them is even the academy's dean! Although she's now a vice-dean, she is still a Spirit Saint-level expert!
And who is this person who can fight against her? Who on earth could it be?
In our academy, do we have students with such terrifying abilities?
On the battle stage, a strand of hair fell slowly, and Liu Erlong stared blankly as her hair fell, wearing an expression of disbelief.
Earlier, Zeng Yi's sudden burst of speed was too fast, catching her off guard. If she hadn't been a Spirit Saint, with her realm far surpassing him, and reacted under extreme pressure, that strike from Zeng Yi could have beheaded her.
Liu Erlong was now experiencing a storm of shock and disbelief. Previously, when she heard from Flender about how talented and powerful Zeng Yi was, she didn't fully believe it and thought it was a bit exaggerated.
It is a joke to instantly kill a Spirit Master of the same level or effortlessly defeat a Spirit Master one realm higher than oneself? What kind of monster-like existence could exist in this world?
But this time, she had to believe what Flender said. If she were in Zeng Yi's position, also a Spirit Elder, that strike from him would have been enough to kill her.
She let her guard down!
A drop of cold sweat rolled down Liu Erlong's fair cheek.
However, as a Spirit Master who had experienced many trials and tribulations, she quickly adjusted her mindset. Liu Erlong turned to face Zeng Yi and said, "You've made me admire you. This time, I will give you my utmost respect!"
"Please, don't."
After hearing Liu Erlong's words, Zeng Yi murmured with a bitter smile. A Spirit Saint giving his utmost respect to a Spirit Ancestor like himself, are you trying to kill me?
But Liu Erlong didn't care about such things. She wanted to regain some face from Zeng Yi. How could she, as a dean, embarrass herself in front of the students?
"Ah ah ah ah ah—"
Following a roar filled with a powerful aura, a giant flame tornado wrapped around Liu Erlong's body.
Powerful gusts of hot wind spread in all directions, making Zeng Yi retreat a few steps involuntarily due to the terrifying aura.
Looking at the beautiful flame tornado, Zeng Yi couldn't help but swallow a gulp of saliva, his eyelids twitching.
Are they kidding me?
Whoosh—
In just a few seconds, the ten-meter-high flame tornado suddenly dissipated, and the scorching flames surged over the entire battlefield. Zeng Yi quickly swung his sword, creating a visible wind wall, blocking the incoming flames.
In just an instant, the flames dissipated, and Liu Erlong's figure reappeared in Zeng Yi's sight.
In a blink of an eye, Liu Erlong's figure rapidly enlarged in Zeng Yi's pupils, her arms no longer human but covered in crimson scales, reflecting light under the spotlight, like burning flames.
Her dragon claws clenched into fists, even faster and more powerful than before. The scorching aura enveloped her punches, making Zeng Yi feel suffocated.
Liu Erlong threw a punch, directly hitting Zeng Yi's chest.
However, she noticed that Zeng Yi didn't offer any resistance. Her flaming dragon fist went through Zeng Yi's chest.
How is this...
The Shrek Six Monsters in the audience were shocked.
"Zeng Yi!!!"
All of them couldn't help but stand up from their seats, their eyes staring at the stage with an expression of disbelief.
Zhu Zhuqing's face showed an almost crazy expression, and the light in her eyes gradually lost its color.
"How could this happen..."
For a moment, Liu Erlong was also stunned. But after careful thought, she realized that she didn't feel any impact from her punch.
It was an afterimage!
And the next moment, amid everyone's astonished gazes, the figure Liu Erlong had seemingly pierced through instantly dispersed into countless leaves.
Coming back to her senses, Liu Erlong found herself surrounded by numerous bamboo leaves.
Under the lights, the silver bamboo leaves sparkled with a beautiful radiance.
