"Secret Technique: Wind and Thunder Shattering Limits!"
With a low roar, Lin Xiu's body, even his hair, was enveloped in flickering thunder.
Even his hair was wrapped in electric light, giving off a faint silver hue.
His eyes emitted flashes of electricity, and his Dou Qi Armor became clearer.
"3 Star, 4 Star, 5 Star... 7 Star, 8 Star! 8 Star Dou Grandmaster!" Chai Yan felt Lin Xiu's strength soar and couldn't help but let out a low cry.
"What kind of Secret Technique is this, actually raising six realms!" Gu Zheng felt a dazzling sharpness emanating from Lin Xiu.
He didn't even dare to stare at Lin Xiu for too long.
Originally a 2 Star Dou Grandmaster, he was already powerful enough to defeat a 9 Star Dou Grandmaster in seconds.
Now that Lin Xiu has advanced to an 8 Star Dou Grandmaster, his strength and speed have both improved, greatly narrowing the gap between him and Han Yue's Dou Spirit Realm!
"Good kid, turns out he has a technique to enhance his strength," Elder Zhao chuckled hoarsely.
Now the situation is a bit hard to predict.
Lin Ge, Li Yan, and others, the seniors who had been defeated by Lin Xiu, as well as Su Xiao, Leng Bai, and others, were all dumbfounded.
At this moment, surrounded by thunder, Lin Xiu seemed like a god of thunder descended to earth, and just his aura alone gave people a painful, tearing sensation.
"Gulp..."
Leng Bai's throat rolled suddenly. "If the Headmaster hadn't set limits before, I feel like he alone could have taken all our spots!"
"Hidden deep indeed, Junior Lin Xiu," Su Xiao couldn't help shaking his head.
Han Yue's eyebrows raised slightly. "Junior Brother, is this your strongest stance? Judging by their reactions, it seems I'm the first person you've chosen to reveal this side to."
Unexplainably, Han Yue felt somewhat proud.
After all,
Whether it was the freshmen, the seniors, or even the Black Evil Stopper Team, none of them had ever seen Lin Xiu being this serious.
"Senior Sister, I might go a bit heavy-handed next, forgive me," Lin Xiu clasped his hands together, electricity crackling as lightning converged into two thunder whips trailing on the ground.
"Bring it on!"
Han Yue beckoned with her finger.
The other four members of the White Evil Stopper Team, looking at Lin Xiu's demeanor, felt a bit intimidated, but they didn't retreat. Instead, they charged forward.
Facing their onslaught, Lin Xiu swung the thunder whips in his hands.
Rumble!
Electric arcs swept through, leaving a black mark on the ground, heading straight towards the opponents.
A foot stomped down.
Bang!
Terrifying Dou Qi energy surged, leaving a large pit in the ground as Lin Xiu's figure burst out.
[You engaged in a battle, Wind and Thunder Shattering Limits experience +100]
[You engaged in a battle, Nine Heavens Thunder Slash experience +0]
[You engaged in a battle, Light Cloud Wandering Dragon Steps experience +0]
[...]
Before everyone's eyes, flashes of lightning flickered, and within a few breaths, three figures were sent flying.
Each one dressed in white, all members of the White Evil Stopper Team.
At this moment, Lin Xiu was like a berserk, his speed astonishing, and his strength surpassed those of the same realm, even stronger than a 1 Star Dou Spirit.
Those who were touched by Lin Xiu couldn't resist his strength and were sent flying helplessly.
"This is outrageous!!"
"Oh my, he's like a humanoid Magic Beast!"
[...]
The freshmen were boiling with excitement.
Originally, in their expectations, even Lin Xiu facing Han Yue alone might struggle.
Who would have thought that Lin Xiu would take on the entire White Evil Stopper Team single-handedly.
This was something they wouldn't dare to dream of, but now it was happening right before their eyes!
In comparison, the seniors were relatively quiet.
Because they were all dumbfounded by Lin Xiu's performance, unable to say a word.
Originally, being defeated by a freshman might have left some of them feeling resentful, often using ambush as an excuse.
But now, seeing this.
Well, it was obvious that Lin Xiu had clearly held back before, otherwise, if he had unleashed his full power like this, would there even be a chance for them to stand here and watch?
"Stupid Bai Shan, why would he provoke someone like this and then ask me to discipline him? Isn't he just pushing me into the fire pit?"
Watching the imposing Lin Xiu, Bai Feng was trembling, wondering if he would hold a grudge for that attack earlier.
Freshmen entering the Academy have a one-month grace period where they don't have to accept challenges, but he's a senior.
What if Lin Xiu challenges me?
Elder Zhao and Elder Li were also motionless at this moment, their eyes shining as they stared at Lin Xiu's figure in the crowd.
"It's been a long time since the outer court produced such outstanding students," Elder Zhao sighed.
Elder Li smiled, "Isn't this a good thing? With Lin Xiu's temperament, it probably won't be long before he makes a name for himself on the Strong Rankings."
Elder Zhao nodded in agreement.
After all, Lin Xiu overturned the White Evil Stopper Team, taking all the Fire Energy from both freshmen and seniors, enough for him to practice for a long time on the First Stage of the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower.
And there, it's also a place where one's cultivation can be accelerated.
"Old Li, what if I reward Lin Xiu with a Red Fire Crystal Card if he wins?" Elder Zhao said.
As soon as the words fell, Elder Li turned his head in astonishment.
Not only him, but even the seniors behind him, upon hearing this, widened their eyes, filled with envy.
"I was just thinking of a Blue Fire Crystal Card, and here you are, being generous with a Red one," Elder Li replied.
"A Red Fire Crystal Card?"
"A Blue Fire Crystal Card?"
The seniors' eyes were all gleaming because after everyone enters the academy, they all receive a Black Fire Crystal Card, and then there are Blue, Green, Red, and Purple ones above it.
And the Black Fire Crystal Card can only be used on the first and second floors of the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower, the Green Fire Crystal Card on the third and fourth floors, and so on.
And the further down the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower you go, the better the cultivation effects.
But if you want to exchange for a different Fire Crystal Card, you need to use Fire Energy for exchange. To exchange from black to blue, you need to pay 100 days of Fire Energy, and from blue to green, you need 200 days of Fire Energy.
A Red Fire Crystal Card is equivalent to saving several hundred days of Fire Energy.
Some students who have been in the inner court for two or three years may not even have a Red Fire Crystal Card!
Suddenly,
"Thousand Miles Engulfing Ice!"
A tender shout echoed through the forest, spreading out.
People felt a chill wash over them.
They saw Han Yue emitting a white and cold frosty aura all over her body, pushing her hands forward.
The ground quickly frosted over, forming ice crystals that spread toward Lin Xiu.
"Using a Black Rank High-level Dou Technique in the Dou Spirit Realm, this is extraordinary!" Elder Zhao couldn't help but shift his attention to the battlefield.
Facing the onslaught of cold air, Lin Xiu swung forward with one hand of wind and one hand of lightning.
In an instant,
The wind howled, and lightning flashed!
The forces of wind and thunder confronted the power of ice, and for a moment, neither side seemed to gain the upper hand!
People were astonished by the thickness of Lin Xiu's Dou Qi. After using the Secret Technique, he was just as strong as a Dou Spirit.
This was no longer just the effect of a simple Secret Technique; it also had to do with Lin Xiu himself!
Suddenly!
Water splashed, guiding the lightning to leap towards Han Yue.
At this moment, in order to win, Lin Xiu used his third attribute.
Water!
With the power of water, the thunder reached Han Yue.
She felt a tingling sensation all over her body as her icy Dou Qi suddenly halted.
Although it was only for a short moment, it was enough to change the course of the battle!
Boom!
The ice layer shattered under the force of wind and lightning, splintering in all directions, with terrifying shockwaves heading straight for Han Yue.
His five fingers clawed, and the cold air swiftly condensed into an ice mirror in front of him.
But the next moment!
Crack!
A palm shattered the ice mirror, stopping just a finger's distance from Han Yue's face.
The strong wind brushed against Han Yue's silver hair.
On her clear and beautiful face, a hint of astonishment appeared, her beautiful eyes staring blankly at the owner of the hand.
"Junior Brother, you've won!"
Reluctant to admit it, but Han Yue had to accept reality.
As her words fell,
"My respects..." Lin Xiu's expression relaxed, and his strength ebbed away like receding tide, the consequences of using the Wind and Thunder Shattering Limits Secret Technique following closely.
Just before completely losing consciousness, Lin Xiu felt himself bump into something soft, a faint fragrance filling his nose.
