Chapter 18 - Shadowtouch

[Shadowtouch]: summons a strange tentacle from the dark water to control the enemy.

"It's a control skill this time?" Looking at the skill's description, Lin Yu looked curious.

He just wanted to quickly find someone to test the skill on.

"Yuze, Gao Yang, how about..." He looked at the two of them, a little embarrassed.

"I'll do it." Gao Yang understood Lin Yu's thoughts and patted his chest as he stepped forward.

"My bro!" Lin Yu gave him a thumbs up. "Xiaozi!"

Xiaozi didn't use her hand this time but stepped forward lightly.

Darkness seeped out from under her feet and like black ink, it quickly flowed on the ground and spread. In an instant, it reached Gao Yang's feet.

Gao Yang and Fierce Crying Vine put on a vigilant posture.

"Whoosh, whoosh, Whoosh!"

The next moment, black tentacles reached out of the ink and wrapped them up tightly.

Gao Yang's hands and feet were rolled up, forming a big letter "T", and were raised high.

In the air, he was dumbfounded as he looked at the tentacles that came out like seaweed. He could not help but shiver.

"Lin Yu, this skill... is it for real?"

He was starting to regret doing the test.

It was too awkward.

Lin Yu sneered and squeezed out a smile. "Xiaozi, put him down now."

The tentacles slowly retracted back into the ink, and Gao Yang and Fierce Crying Vine also slowly descended.

Because it was not an enemy, Xiaozi did not tighten the tentacles. He just controlled him so that he could not move.

Lin Yu also had a deeper understanding of this skill.

Although it seemed a little strange, the control effect was good.

To sum it up, Xiaozi's rank had increased and she had obtained three more skills. Her strength had improved a lot.

And after successfully devouring many times, he also gained some spiritual power from Xiaozi.

This was good news. It meant that he would have a faster shortcut in his cultivation.

"Let's go. I won't be afraid even if I have to face Ye Tian."

Lin Yu felt refreshed.

...

People were looking at the panel screen.

"Lin Yu's points are already in the top five!" a teacher calculated the points and said in shock.

At the beginning of the competition, nobody thought that a student at the third rank of the origin birth realm would be able to get to where he was now.

"The battle strength he displayed really doesn't match his cultivation level." The other teacher who was holding a notebook had unknowingly filled up an entire page.

"Look, he's fighting with someone again!"

The group of people looked at the big screen.

In the image, Lin Yu was fighting against five people by himself.

Lin Yu put his hands behind his back. Xiaozi stood beside him and stepped lightly.

Darkness flowed out from under her feet, spreading like ink and covering the opponent's feet in an instant.

The five people in front of him seemed to be standing on a pitch-black pond.

Black tentacles reached out from the ink and forcefully grabbed the five girls and their pet beasts into the air.

The pet beasts of the second and third ranks were struggling with all their might, but they could not do anything to Xiaozi, who was at the fourth rank.

The girls' faces were all red, and their breathing couldn't help but quicken.

Lin Yu's expression was as calm as ever as if he could not see the scene in front of him. He turned his head and focused on the fire-type resources at the side.

"Ladies, I can feel a special connection to this item. I wonder if it's possible to let me have it?"

All the teachers looked at this scene with strange expressions.

"Lin Yu... does he know that this is a live broadcast?"

"I don't think so..."

"He's too arrogant."

"This just goes to show his strength," a tall and strong teacher said excitedly.

"To be able to defeat five people in an instant with his own strength, how many students could do this?"

"Aren't they going to rest?" a second-year high school teacher couldn't help but ask.

They looked at Lin Yu and the others, who had just finished dealing with a group of opponents, and went to the next place without stopping.

The three of them were like a sharp knife, piercing through all the enemies they encountered.

"They seem to have a way to recover..." The school doctor's beautiful eyes moved slightly. She was quite interested in Lin Yu's purple rain skill and was planning to have Lin Yu come to the school doctor's office for a good discussion after the conference.

"After Lin Yu broke through to the 4th rank, his strength is simply incredible. The other 4th ranks are basically unable to resist him at all."

The teachers shook their heads and sighed.

They glanced at Lin Yu's class teacher, Ye Wenqian, in unison.

Of course, Ye Wenqian couldn't hide the joy on her face.

Lin Yu had really given her a huge surprise. He was able to easily defeat the other third-rank cultivators and even defeat the fourth-rank cultivators.

Now that he had broken through to the 4th rank...

"My student, Lin Yu... he has the potential to be the champion!"

She just hoped that Lin Yu wouldn't meet Ye Tian for now.

"Lin Yu has met Ye Tian!" a teacher's voice suddenly sounded.

Ye Wenqian immediately looked at the screen and her face changed.

In her opinion, the two of them should be fighting for the championship at the end.

"If they encountered now, wouldn't one of them be eliminated immediately?" she thought.

In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on the screen.

...

"Ye Tian?"

Zhang Yuze gasped and looked at the group of people standing in front of him in disbelief.

At this moment, they were standing in a rather spacious cave.

The cave was hundreds of square meters in size, and it was nearly twenty meters high.

The most eye-catching thing was a giant mushroom that was nearly 17 to 18 meters tall.

Its top was like a giant umbrella over a hundred square meters in size, casting a shadow with strange patterns on it.

The entire mushroom exuded a sense of profoundness that symbolized its old age.

Under the huge mushroom cap, there were some strange wood-type resources scattered around.

Lin Yu and the others were standing next to the mushroom.

They were facing a group of people, and the most striking of them all was Ye Tian. His Two-headed Windbreaker Wolf stood on one side with its head held high.

There were four to five Beastmasters next to him. They all summoned their pet beasts, looking at him with malice.

All of them looked like they were not to be trifled with.

Both of them could feel the dense life source of the huge mushroom cap.

"Ye Tian, it's that brat who acted like a hero in front of the girls at the hatchery," one of his companions whispered into Ye Tian's ear.

They were all Ye Tian's classmates and had naturally seen Lin Yu and Xiaozi before.

"I know." Ye Tian's eyes glowed.

Lin Yu had just stolen his limelight a few days ago. Although he did not take it to heart, he clearly had a deep impression of it.

The two of them faced each other from a distance, looking like a war was already going on.

"Lin Yu, Ye Tian's pet beast is at the seventh stage of the origin birth realm." Zhang Yuze was a little flustered.

There were people known for their strength, and Ye Tian was like a ghost that haunted everybody.

If Lin Yu wasn't by his side, he might have already run away.

Even Gao Yang, who was usually not afraid of anything, did not say a word at this moment. From his tightly clenched fists, one could see his nervousness.

The two of them looked at Lin Yu. As the absolute backbone of the three-piece team, Lin Yu had now become their last resort.
