Chapter 264: Chapter 264: Acquaintance

Zhou Tiantang didn’t even need to speak; the snow-white tiger had already charged towards Wang Pan again.

"Damn beast!"

Wang Pan roared angrily, hastily deploying a low-grade Body Technique Heavenly Spirit Technique to deal with the situation.

"Shameless humans!"

The snow-white tiger spoke human language, actually cursing back.

Hearing this, Wang Pan grew even angrier.

He was actually being scolded by a beast?

"I’m going to kill you!"

Wang Pan’s eyes turned blood-red, his Spiritual Power whistling out, and his silver longsword radiated brilliant light.

Extremely furious in his heart; how could a mere beast force him into such a state?

"Falling Geese Slash!"

Wang Pan bellowed, raising his silver longsword to unleash a three-zhang-long Purple Sword Qi, slashing fiercely towards the snow-white tiger.

"Mid-grade Heavenly Spirit Technique?!"

Witnessing this startling Sword Qi, many exclaimed in shock.

Truly worthy of being a genius of the Eight Palaces Martial Discussion, only at the third level of the Primordial Pill Realm, yet he managed to deploy a mid-grade offensive Heavenly Spirit Technique!

"Roar!"

The snow-white tiger too sensed the terrifying nature of this Sword Qi and immediately let out an angry roar.

"Swoosh!"

Opening its huge mouth, a beam of black light burst forth.

"Boom!"

The Purple Sword Qi collided fiercely with the black beam, releasing a thunderous noise, sending waves of air sweeping around, continuously pounding on the protective arrays on both banks of the Star Luo River, immediately causing streaks of flowing light to appear in everyone’s sight.

Clearly, the protective array had been activated.

Of course, such a residual attack was nothing for the protective array that could defend against attacks from cultivators below the seventh level of the Primordial Pill Realm.

It nearly instantly returned to calm.

After spitting out that beam of light, the expression on the snow-white tiger seemed somewhat wilted.

Zhou Tiantang looked at Wang Pan with satisfaction and simply grinned, saying, "I surrender!"

His role was simple—just to deplete some of Wang Pan’s Spiritual Power and probe his opponent’s trump cards.

Since Wang Pan had deployed a mid-grade Heavenly Spirit Technique, his task was completed.

In Wang Pan’s eyes filled with flames of anger, Zhou Tiantang rode the snow-white tiger straight back to the Heavenly Sound Academy’s Observation Platform.

"Tiantang, hard work!"

A thin young man stood up, giving Zhou Tiantang a slight smile.

"What hard work, it was all Xiao Bai’s doing. The rest is up to Senior Xu!"

Zhou Tiantang waved his hand.

"Please welcome the fourth contestant from the Heavenly Sound Academy, Xu Lin, to the stage!"

Xiao Yun’s voice echoed again.

Hearing this, the thin young man tapped his foot, instantly rushing from the Observation Platform, appearing opposite Wang Pan.

His gaze landing on Xu Lin, a hint of wariness flashed across Wang Pan’s eyes.

Because, the cultivation of his opponent was even more robust than his.

"Begin!"

Along with Xiao Yun’s call, a boom was heard, and Xu Lin burst forth with dazzling black Spiritual Power.

"Kill!"

Xu Lin didn’t hesitate at all, immediately charging towards Wang Pan.

At the same time, a black longsword materialized in his hand, into which Spiritual Power was infused, erupting in bright light!

"It’s him!"

Ling Chen’s eyes suddenly focused on the platform.

From Xu Lin, he sensed a familiar aura.

Though this aura was much stronger than before, he could still perceive it.

"So it was you who also became a Dark Night Son with me!"

Ling Chen smiled slightly.

He had not expected that Xu Lin, like him, also came from the Eight Great Academies.

Seeing Xu Lin charging towards him, Wang Pan dared not be careless and immediately slashed a Sword Qi towards him.

Although the opponent had revealed Spiritual Power, he had not discerned what type of Spiritual Body it was.

Furthermore, since his opponent was stronger than him, he couldn’t afford to let the opponent get close.

"Hmph!"

Xu Lin coldly snorted, his longsword slashing out, directly splitting the Sword Qi in half, his figure still charging towards Wang Pan!

"Ghost Light Slash!"

Xu Lin muttered inwardly, black Spiritual Power gathering in his longsword.

A black Sword Qi was unleashed from the longsword, striking like lightning towards Wang Pan.

"Another mid-grade Heavenly Spirit Technique!"

Many exclaimed again.

This time, there wasn’t much surprise in their hearts.

After all, if Wang Pan, whose cultivation was slightly inferior, could use it, how could this more powerful Cultivator not?

The Black Sword Qi was extremely fast, leaving no time to employ movement techniques.

"Falling Geese Slash!"

Wang Pan also roared, eyes revealing a fierce expression, as a Purple Sword Qi slashed forward.

"Bang!"

The two Sword Qis collided three lengths in front of Wang Pan, creating a tremendous boom, sending fragments of Sword Qi sweeping around.

However, this scene did not last long.

The Black Sword Qi shattered the Purple Sword Qi and continued to bombard towards Wang Pan.

"Hmph!"

A cold light flashed in Wang Pan’s eyes, Xu Lin’s Spiritual Power was not much stronger than his own.

Immediately, a layer of Spiritual Power shield formed around his body, his Longsword held horizontally in front of him.

"Bang!"

Another loud noise was emitted as the Black Sword Qi smashed the Spiritual Power shield and then struck the Longsword in Wang Pan’s hands.

Wang Pan’s figure still retreated three lengths.

"You are nothing more than this!"

Wang Pan sneered.

Having a higher cultivation level than his and still failing to injure him was nothing to be afraid of.

He could fully compete with him using his cultivation level.

For Jiang Wusheng, the last to appear for Taiwu Academy, to gradually exhaust his opponent’s strength.

"Really?"

However, a voice came from Wang Pan’s left side.

Turning his head, he found that somehow Xu Lin had appeared within three feet of him.

"How is this possible?"

The opponent was clearly several lengths away just a moment ago, how could he appear here so suddenly?

However, before he could think, a Black Longsword, emitting fierce Sword Qi, was already positioned at his neck.

"Surrender or die?"

Xu Lin’s voice sounded calmly.

"I surrender!"

Wang Pan immediately shouted.

His life hanging in someone else’s hands, how could he dare to resist?

"Good."

Xu Lin nodded, then sheathed his Longsword.

Most of the observing Cultivators were utterly baffled; like Wang Pan, they had not seen how Xu Lin had appeared.

They only saw the collision of the two Sword Qis when Xu Lin’s figure seemed to vanish.

When he reappeared, he had already subdued Wang Pan.

"Is this the Shadow Spirit Body?"

On the Observation Platform, Zhao Tianwu, the Palace Master of Taiwu Academy, eyes flashed with intrigue.

"Yes."

Qu Min, the Palace Master of Heavenly Sound Academy, smiled and nodded.

"Legend says the Shadow Spirit Body can hide under all the shadows in the world. I suppose just now, Xu Lin must have used this technique?"

Li Xuan, the Palace Master of Xuantian Academy, laughed.

Xu Qing, the Palace Master of Taiyi Academy also couldn’t help but praise: "Truly deserving of the Spirit Body most suited for assassins!"

Above the Star Luo River, Xu Lin pointed his Longsword to the Taiwu Academy’s combat platform, saying, "Jiang Wusheng, come out and fight?"

Now that Taiwu Academy was down to one person, it was Jiang Wusheng, who possessed the terrifying top-tier Spirit Body, the Death Spirit Body!

Xiao Yun also cast his glance over, speaking loudly: "Please, the fifth player from Taiwu Academy, Jiang Wusheng, come out!"

"Jiang Wusheng?"

Hearing this name, the observing Cultivators began to discuss amongst themselves.

Unlike the relatively unknown Xu Lin, Jiang Wusheng was not only the foremost among the Taiwu Academy but also belonged to the Eight Great Families.

Moreover, he possessed the terrifying top-tier Spirit Body, the Death Spirit Body!

However, Jiang Wusheng stood up, gave a slight bow to Xiao Yun, and said, "I surrender."

"What, surrender?"

"Is Taiwu Academy giving up? Don’t they want to compete for the championship anymore?"

"Yes! With the capability of Taiwu Academy, they definitely can’t match Xuantian Academy! Losing two rounds, they have no chance at the championship!"

...

Jiang Wusheng’s decision instantly caused an uproar.

In everyone’s view, this decision was simply unwise.
