Chapter 718: Chapter 358: First Victory_2

"Hmph, those who favor the older while belittling the younger. Sister Ling is mighty, keep it up Sister Ling!"

By now, Ling Menglu had entered the competition arena. Across from her, her opponent, the number four from the blue team, had also stepped onto the field.

In the blue team of Demon Hunter Team 19115897, only Ling Menglu was left. At this moment, her opponent was astonishingly a warrior.

Within the 6 Great Sacred Temples, the priests were undeniably the least adept at fighting. Therefore, during regular competitions, the rules would typically lean in favor of the priests, with regulations such as ’the priest who can hold out the longest without losing, wins.’

However, this time at the Great Impartation Contest, all preferential treatments had been abolished. Victory could only be achieved through defeating one’s opponent. This was because once priests reached the 7th Rank, they were indeed not to be underestimated on the battlefield. Prior to reaching the 7th Rank, priests primarily focused on healing and supporting, but after reaching the 7th Rank they would become extremely versatile. As devotees of light and divinity, their purity of attribute always surpassed that of other professions. They also had the most skills, hence, there were no special allowances for priests in the Great Impartation Contest, everything was just like in the other five Great Sacred Temples.

"Begin the match!"

Accompanied by the announcement from the referee, the first round of Ling Menglu’s final match started.

The warrior across from Ling Menglu was a particularly tall and sturdy figure. But when he faced Ling Menglu, his expression was exceptionally serious.

Though Ling Menglu was young, who didn’t know the Goddess’s reputation? The number one seed of the Priests Temple, the priority successor to the temple master of the Priests Temple; within the Priests Temple, Ling Menglu’s talent was so extraordinary that she didn’t even have competitors for the future temple master’s position. In this regard, she even superseded Zisang Liuying’s standing within the Magic Temple, as the Magic Temple had overall greater strength and housed more geniuses.

Who would dare to be careless when facing the Goddess?

With the call to begin, the warrior’s body boomed, his spiritual power erupted like a gushing well, launching him towards Ling Menglu like a cannonball. His speed was such that he seemed like a shooting star chasing after the moon. The estoc in his hand was raised high, a spirit palisade erupted, causing a glaring spatial fracture in mid-air and sending it straight towards Ling Menglu.

In close-quarters combat against a mage, getting in close is essential. The warrior’s tactics were unquestionably the most standard and direct, but the extraordinary burst of power he demonstrated was enough to astonish anyone. No restraints, a full-force burst.

Facing her opponent’s grandiose offensive, Ling Menglu showed not the slightest hesitation, her face always carrying a faint smile, and her body became suddenly intangible. Golden mist rose around her body, the staff in her hand slightly lifted. Right when her opponent has almost reached her, the seemingly weak fluctuating golden mist hurtled to solidify. Within a fleeting moment, it shaped into a golden six-winged seraph in front of her, blocking the warrior’s charge.

"Boom—" The intense booming sound echoed throughout the field.

That earth-shattering estoc was actually halted by the six-winged seraph that materialized within an instant, held between the seraph’s clasped hands.

Long Dangdang and Long Kongkong, who hadn’t seen their cousin’s solo match for a long time, were also inevitably startled by this. When that golden seraph materialized, their first reaction was that Xiao Ming had evolved!

Indeed, what had appeared before Ling Menglu was the Luminous Angel Spirit Furnace. However, unlike before, the Luminous Angel Spirit Furnace was no longer four-winged but six-winged. Moreover, it had shown itself to be six-winged without any amplification from the Divine Prayers Small Tree Spirit Furnace.

What was even more shocking was that the element spirit furnace always existed in the form of magic, so why did Ling Menglu’s Luminous Angel Spirit Furnace exhibit a closely-combat ability?

As everyone was shocked, the six wings behind Xiao Ming bloomed with golden light, a dazzling golden radiance erupted, making him shine like the sun to the point where Ling Menglu behind him was almost invisible.

The originally gentle power of luminosity suddenly became fierce. Xiao Ming’s joined hands were suddenly raised, stubbornly hoisting the estoc. At the same time, two golden lights shot out of his eyes, darting straight toward the warrior.

The warrior only felt a huge force coming, and he couldn’t maintain the downward pressure of the estoc with his power. His body suddenly erupted with light flames, using a skill similar to knight’s explosive burst. His spirit palisade instantly became more solid, but his estoc was still held steady by Xiao Ming, and the golden light that burst from his eyes had already arrived.

The golden light fell on the warrior. The warrior did not feel any impact. But in that moment, he felt the six-winged seraph in front of him appeared to grow larger and a vast and majestic aura oppressed him, causing his originally firm belief to waver on the spot. His spiritual power, which had just been increased through an outbreak skill, was forcibly suppressed. Then, his hands trembled, and the estoc was seized just like that.

"My, it’s the Luminous Smelting Furnace! What kind of skill is that light shooting from his eyes?" Long Kongkong exclaimed in surprise.

Yes, the skill that Xiao Ming just used was indeed the same as the core skill of the Adamantine Cathedra battle armor – the Luminous Smelting Furnace. Neither he nor Long Dangdang had ever known that the Luminous Smelting Furnace was a skill that could be directly exhibited!

In fact, this skill is originally the top-class skill of the Priests Temple. Normally, it can only be used by a 9th Rank Saint. When the Luminous Smelting Furnace first appeared, it even needed a Saint’s sacrifice to temporarily gain strong spiritual power to perform. Later, it evolved to reduce consumption but also lowered its potency, vastly improving its safety.

It was extremely incredible for the Priests Temple that Ling Menglu could bring out the Luminous Smelting Furnace with a 7th Rank cultivation, even with the help of the Luminous Angel Spirit Furnace. But she did it.

When his estoc was snatched, the warrior was startled and instinctively tried to retreat. However, the dazzling golden light had already enveloped him from all directions. The six-winged seraph had soared to a height of more than a dozen meters in his sight in an instant. The enormous power of luminosity suddenly pressed down.

Draconian God’s Authority was the skill that Xiao Ming had just released from his eyes. It was a powerful ability Ling Menglu had gained through her Light God’s Physique. It was a mental intimidation skill. By executing it through Xiao Ming, the power was maximized, resulting in a huge intimidation effect in an instant.

This was true power, an overwhelming power. It was a 7th Rank versus 8th Rank, but Ling Menglu completely suppressed her opponent from the beginning. The battle is not over yet, but at this point, the warrior has no chance of turning the tide. He finally lost under the absolute intimidation and pressure, under the overwhelming power of the Angel’s advent-like Luminous Angel. There was not a bit of suspense in the entire battle, Ling Menglu had achieved her first victory.

After this battle, Long Dangdang’s first reaction was that her concerns were completely unnecessary. No matter which group she was assigned to, there was no reason for her cousin not to advance. She had unknowingly become so strong, hadn’t she?

The two brothers looked at each other, recently, they felt that their strength had greatly improved to a new level since obtaining the Adamantine Cathedra battle armor. But after watching Ling Menglu’s battle today, they realized how powerful the first of the Priests Temple, their cousin, was.

She could use the Luminous Smelting Furnace without relying on equipment. She was so calm and collected when facing an 8th Rank opponent, so much so that she didn’t even use her full strength. Remember, an 8th Rank Realm warrior of the Warriors Temple before the age of thirty is definitely not an ordinary person! But in front of Ling Menglu, he didn’t even have the chance to resist.
