Looking at the fluttering bamboo leaves in front of him, Liu Erlong couldn't help but be stunned.
So beautiful!
Not only Liu Erlong, but everyone in the audience was also amazed by the scene.
The countless bamboo leaves that enveloped nearly half of the battle stage's area, the chaotic and fluttering scene profoundly shook everyone's hearts.
"This move? Could it be the one used by Zeng Yi?" Dai Mubai looked at the scene in the field, astonished. They were in the closest position to the battle stage, with the best view. Dai Mubai could clearly feel the terrifying aura emitted by the countless bamboo leaves in the field, which could easily annihilate him.
Looking at the countless bamboo leaves flying in the air, Oscar's throat couldn't help but swallow involuntarily as he trembled and said, "It should be Yi-ge's move. After all, Teacher Liu Erlong's moves are all accompanied by blazing flames."
Everyone was confused. They had never seen Zeng Yi use this move before. The countless flying leaves seemed to be condensed Spirit Power. Zeng Yi couldn't possibly be so bored as to carry so many bamboo leaves with him.
Could it be a Spirit skill? Several people couldn't help but think of this. However, they were well aware of Zeng Yi's three Spirit skills, and none of them were of this terrifying type.
In that case, it could only be Zeng Yi's fourth Spirit skill.
Did Zeng Yi break through the Spirit Hall in the past half year?
Although there were many doubts in their hearts, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. At least, Zeng Yi hadn't encountered any danger, right?
Because the countless leaves flying on the field concealed the figures of Liu Erlong and Zeng Yi, no one could see what was happening.
On the field, the flying bamboo leaves covered Zeng Yi's figure, and he had already appeared ten meters away from Liu Erlong.
Just as Liu Erlong's attack was about to hit him, Zeng Yi used his fourth Spirit skill [Bamboo Sonata: Leaf Waltz!].
This ten-thousand-year Spirit skill was a powerful group attack skill. His own Spirit power condensed into countless bamboo leaves, forming a terrifying sword formation that slaughtered the enemies within the range of the formation.
Each piece of bamboo leaf carried a terrifying sword intent, and the sharpness of the bamboo leaves was no less than that of a sword blade. Each piece of bamboo leaf could easily cut down a tree with a diameter of half a meter.
According to Zeng Yi's idea, the effect of the fourth Spirit skill should be as good as his second Spirit skill,[Sword of Selflessness] which could provide him with all-around enhancement. However, the Spirit skills bestowed upon Spirit masters by their spirit rings were random. Although Zeng Yi's second and fourth spirit rings came from the same spirit beast, his luck wasn't that good, and the bestowed Spirit skills were different.
Nevertheless, Zeng Yi was quite satisfied with the Bamboo Sword Formation skill bestowed by the Ten Thousand Year Sword Bamboo spirit ring. After all, it looked very cool when used and suited his image very well.
As the saying goes, strength is a matter of version, but being cool is a lifetime matter!
At least, Zeng Yi believed that the fourth Spirit skill he obtained at the risk of his life was worth it!
Liu Erlong found herself suddenly immersed in this sea of leaves, and her mind was stunned by this beautiful sight. However, after a streak of blood traced across her cheek, she regained her senses and became vigilant.
Among the countless leaves, there was a hidden terrifying killing intent.
The wind surged, and countless bamboo leaves began to rotate rapidly around Liu Erlong, crazily cutting through her.
For a while, a chilling momentum filled the entire arena, intense sword intent swept through, and sword qi filled the air.
In the eyes of the spectators below the stage, numerous leaves in the field began to rotate at high speed, and the wind gradually intensified, accompanied by the sound of roaring.
In the shocked gaze of the crowd, a gigantic bamboo tornado had formed in the field, reaching a height of more than ten meters. The terrifying aura it exuded made people feel suffocated just by looking at it.
Sword shadows danced in the wind, and on the hard granite floor, numerous chaotic sword marks appeared, causing a terrifying sword intent that shook people's hearts.
All the spectators were stunned, their mouths agape, staring at the roaring bamboo leaf tornado in the field. Its terrifying aura shook their hearts, and the hurricane swept through the entire venue. The frenzied wind blew on the spectators, causing a stinging sensation on their faces.
Zeng Yi decisively launched the sword formation against Liu Erlong. Although he knew that his level of attack couldn't harm Liu Erlong, who possessed Spirit Saint-level strength, he didn't have to worry about her safety. He could freely engage in the battle.
Within the bamboo leaf tornado, Liu Erlong crossed her arms to protect her body, covered in a layer of fiery red Spirit power, as if covered in molten lava.
On her dragonized arms, sparks were jumping. The sharp bamboo leaves attacked her dragon scale-covered arms, and with her dragonization, her arms' defensive power was terrifying. The fiery dragon scales were like an extremely hard steel wall that couldn't be harmed in the slightest.
However, other parts of Liu Erlong's body didn't fare as well. Dealing with Zeng Yi, she had only used the first stage of dragonization, and there were already traces of blood on other parts of her body. Her clothes had small cuts, revealing her fair and jade-like skin.
Liu Erlong couldn't have expected Zeng Yi to use such a powerful move. Even with her performance at this level, she completely possessed the strength to crush Spirit Ancestor-level Spirit masters. However, when facing Zeng Yi, who also had Spirit Ancestor-level strength, she couldn't gain any advantage, and even suffered losses.
"Truly unexpected!"
A look of excitement flashed in Liu Erlong's golden dragon pupils. Zeng Yi had given her a huge surprise.
A more terrifying Spirit power fluctuation erupted from Liu Erlong's body. Around her slender figure, shiny spirit rings began to appear.
Seven spirit rings quietly emerged around Liu Erlong's body, forming a combination of two yellow, two purple, and three black spirit rings, exuding a terrifying oppressive sensation of a Spirit Saint-level.
An invisible power spread out, and outside the sword formation, Zeng Yi's mind suddenly sank. He felt an immense pressure weighing on him, making his breathing even more difficult.
It was as if the sleeping dragon was awakening.
In front of everyone's eyes, they noticed that the rotating and roaring tornado of the bamboo leaves had turned a fiery red color, and the entire venue felt the scorching heat, dyeing the entire arena red, making everyone feel as if they were in a furnace.
The bamboo leaves attached to the tornado were burned to ashes by the terrifying heat and turned into countless floating embers, drifting in the sky above the battle stage.
Roar!
Boom!
As a dragon roar resounded, the tornado suddenly burst apart, turning into a scorching windstorm. The visible flames surged like a tsunami, rapidly spreading in all directions.
The terrifying power shocked people's hearts; it was truly an ultimate visual feast.
As he watched the flame storm rushing toward him, Zeng Yi quickly prepared his defense. With a swift swing of his knife, a high-speed gust of wind formed a wind barrier in front of him.
Zeng Yi couldn't afford to be careless. He could feel the terrifying power contained in the oncoming wind; if it struck him, it would definitely not end well.
Boom~
The wind barrier blocked the fiery wave, but the scorching temperature in the air made Zeng Yi very uncomfortable. Every breath he took felt like his lungs were burning.
Swoosh~
A sonic boom sounded, and Liu Erlong's figure shot forward like a fiery laser, rushing towards Zeng Yi.
Zeng Yi observed the figure attacking him, and reflected in his pupils were the seven dazzling spirit rings.
Having already sensed the flow of the wind, Zeng Yi's figure flashed and instantly appeared to the right rear of Liu Erlong.
Third Spirit skill, [Sword Domain!]
Four spirit rings suddenly appeared around Zeng Yi's body, with the third purple spirit ring shining brightly.
In an instant, Liu Erlong felt her body freeze for a moment.
Reacting quickly, she turned around and saw the four spirit rings on Zeng Yi's body.
Three purple and one black spirit ring combination!
But there was no time for her to be shocked because the sharp blade had already appeared in front of her.
So fast!
The pressure emanating from the blade made her eyes feel a stinging sensation.
Although this was an assessment, Zeng Yi had forgotten what it meant to stall. In his mind, he only considered how to defeat his opponent.
Dodging? Stalling? Those didn't exist.
Not only was Liu Erlong excited, but Zeng Yi was also exhilarated facing such a formidable opponent. Zeng Yi had long forgotten about the graduation assessment. The atmosphere of this battle had ignited his whole being.
Zeng Yi swung his knife towards Liu Erlong's head, the speed lightning fast.
However, Liu Erlong had rich battle experience, coupled with the absolute strength gap between them, which allowed her to react in time to block Zeng Yi's strike.
A ferocious dragon claw appeared in front of her body even faster, attempting to block Zeng Yi's attack.
But a look of shock appeared in Liu Erlong's dragon pupils.
She saw that when Zeng Yi's blade was about to hit her dragon claw, it turned into drifting leaves, pierced through her dragon claw, and reformed into a blade.
Was Zeng Yi's blade formed by leaves?
What a joke!
