Chapter 258: Chapter 258: True Martial First Shows Its Power

Quickly, a quarter of an hour passed.

"Please submit your team’s battle sequence!"

Above the Star Luo River, Xiao Yun’s voice rang out again.

Soon, the battle sequence was submitted.

"The first battle, Tianluo Academy versus True Martial Academy."

"The battle sequence for Tianluo Academy is: He Mu, Qin Feiyang, Yao Bin, Xie Fan, Su Muyu."

"The battle sequence for True Martial Academy is: Ye Zhenzhen, Ling Wu, Chen Yichen, Wan Er, Ling Chen."

As his voice fell, a light curtain appeared in the sky, displaying the battle sequences of the two academies’ participants.

"Indeed!"

A smile creased Mo Han’s face.

As he expected, the first candidate fielded by Ling Chen was Ye Zhenzhen, who had defected from Tianluo Academy!

For Palace Master Wu Han of Tianluo Academy and others, seeing the name Ye Zhenzhen brought complex emotions.

Especially for Su Muyu and the other four contestants.

Their former teammate had now become their opponent!

Moreover, as the matches approached life-and-death struggles, it left a bitter taste in their hearts.

The cultivators watching the match were not familiar with the participants of these two academies, and since neither academy was particularly renowned, the announcement did not evoke much of a reaction.

"Now, please have the first candidates from both academies come up and prepare for battle!"

Xiao Yun announced loudly.

As his voice fell, two streaks of light shot towards Xiao Yun from two observation platforms.

"Let me emphasize once more, this match only ends when one side concedes defeat or dies in battle!"

Xiao Yun looked at He Mu and Ye Zhenzhen.

"Understood."

They both responded.

"Good!"

Xiao Yun moved his figure and appeared on the main observation platform.

As only He Mu and Ye Zhenzhen were left above the Star Luo River, two curved light screens suddenly appeared on both sides of the river, enveloping the spectators.

This was a protective array!

Specially arranged to ensure the safety of the watching cultivators.

It could withstand any attack from cultivators below the seventh level of the Primordial Pill Realm!

"Begin!"

Xiao Yun declared loudly.

"Boom!"

With the commencement of the match, He Mu and Ye Zhenzhen suddenly erupted with a glow of Spiritual Power.

Faced with a battle that could decide life or death, neither dared to be careless.

"Ye Zhenzhen, have you truly decided to join True Martial Academy?"

He Mu asked.

He still found Ye Zhenzhen’s betrayal unbelievable.

Tianluo Academy had devoted nearly everything in training Ye Zhenzhen, who as a core member had resources multiples greater than his, including personal guidance from the Palace Master.

"What’s the point of saying these words now?"

Ye Zhenzhen replied coldly.

Initially, she indeed felt reluctant, especially being controlled by Ling Chen’s Divine Soul, leaving her helpless.

However, after spending time with Ling Chen, particularly under his guidance in learning the low-grade Body Technique Heavenly Spirit Technique, she began to ponder whether joining True Martial Academy was the wiser choice.

A good bird chooses the tree it perches on; although Ling Chen had not given her material resources, he helped her in Cultivation of the Heavenly Spirit Technique, even providing guidance more detailed than Palace Master Wu Han.

Furthermore, Ling Chen had promised that after the Eight Palaces’ Martial Contest, he would lift the control of her Divine Soul, returning her freedom.

Freedom was good indeed, but somehow she felt an inexplicable worry.

She was worried that she would have no one to guide her in the cultivation of the Body Technique Heavenly Spirit Technique in the future.

So even now, she was still conflicted in her heart.

But one thing she understood was that she was still under Ling Chen’s control, her life hanging by a thread on Ling Chen’s whim.

No matter how she might choose in the future, for now, she was a student of the True Martial Academy and she had to win this battle for them!

Perhaps this was also a test of loyalty from Ling Chen!

Facing her former classmates, she could only treat them with such coldness.

He Mu nodded and said, "I never thought, that our Tianluo would produce such an ungrateful person like you!"

"Make your move!"

Ye Zhenzhen said no more.

Had He Mu been in the same situation as her, he might not have done any better.

Now, what she could do was try her best not to harm those from the Tianluo Academy.

"Today I will teach you a lesson on behalf of the Palace Master!"

With that, He Mu’s body shook, and a more powerful aura spread out.

Even though he had now advanced to the late stage of the Primordial Pill Realm, he did not dare to hold back his power against Ye Zhenzhen, who possessed the Cloud Mist Spirit Body.

"Kill!"

He Mu clenched his right hand, and a low-grade Spiritual Weapon flashed into existence.

Green Spiritual Power wrapped around his legs, as he directly used a superior Body Technique Xuanling Technique, rushing towards Ye Zhenzhen.

Now his Spiritual Power was comparable to the mid-stage of the third level of Primordial Pill Realm, and even though he used the Body Technique Xuanling Technique and was skilled in the wind’s speedy Spiritual Power, his pace was still incredibly fast.

Having cultivated alongside Ye Zhenzhen, he naturally knew the terror of her Cloud Mist Technique!

To defeat Ye Zhenzhen, the most crucial thing was not to give her a chance to use the Cloud Mist Technique.

Now, he had also successfully cultivated a low-grade offensive Heavenly Spirit Technique, and along with his powerful Spiritual Power, his attacking strength completely surpassed that of Ye Zhenzhen!

Ye Zhenzhen, merely in the early stage of Primordial Pill Realm, was likely not his opponent!

Approaching Ye Zhenzhen rapidly, He Mu’s Spiritual Power infused into the Spiritual Weapon in his hand, slashing his longsword towards Ye Zhenzhen.

Watching He Mu burst towards her, Ye Zhenzhen smiled slightly without using the Cloud Mist Technique.

"He Mu, you are not my opponent!"

As soon as Ye Zhenzhen’s words fell, white Spiritual Power flowed into her legs.

"Immortal Steps Ghost Shadow!"

In a single move, Ye Zhenzhen’s figure instantly appeared ten meters away.

Meanwhile, He Mu’s longsword cut through empty air.

"Low-grade Body Technique Heavenly Spirit Technique?!"

He Mu exclaimed in disbelief.

"What?!"

The Palace Masters on the Observation Platform of the Eight Great Academies stood up with a bang, eyes filled with disbelief.

They couldn’t imagine that True Martial Academy, which had consistently been at the bottom of the rankings and seemed insignificant, could have such a genius among them!

Cultivating a low-grade Body Technique Heavenly Spirit Technique to success at the early stage of the Primordial Pill Realm?

They knew that cultivating the Body Technique Heavenly Spirit Technique was already one level more difficult than cultivating offensive Heavenly Spirit Techniques.

Even the geniuses of the Eight Great Academies, if they could cultivate a low-grade Body Technique Heavenly Spirit Technique successfully at the second level of the Primordial Pill Realm, they would be hailed as a Spirit Art genius, let alone someone at the early stage of the Primordial Pill Realm like Ye Zhenzhen?

Meanwhile, the competitors from the Eight Great Academies on the Observation Platform, one by one, had their eyes wide open, utterly astounded!

"Excellent!"

On both sides of the Star Luo River, countless observing Cultivators cheered for Ye Zhenzhen!

The opening battle of the Eight Palaces martial competition, to witness the appearance of a low-grade Body Technique Heavenly Spirit Technique, how could they not be excited?

Zi Lingyang looked towards the True Martial Academy’s Observation Platform and set his gaze on Ling Chen’s face, his eyes full of shock: "What kind of geniuses does True Martial Academy have? First, Young Master Ling displayed a mid-grade Heavenly Spirit Technique, and now this girl, damn, actually brought out a low-grade Heavenly Spirit Technique too? Does that even leave room for others to live?"

In his years, only after reaching the late stage of Primordial Pill Realm was he barely able to cultivate the low-grade Body Technique Heavenly Spirit Technique to success!

Moreover, he was a scion of one of the Eight Great Families, not someone with no background like Ye Zhenzhen could compare to!

Suddenly, a terrifying thought appeared in his mind.

"It can’t be, this Body Technique Heavenly Spirit Technique, did Young Master Ling teach her?"
