TN : Technique Grade : Huang, Xuan, Di and Tian
The terrifying soul energy emanating from Mo Yu's body, appearing in an instant, caused Liu Qing's pupils to contract to pinpoints.
With his experience, he naturally recognized the nature of that energy, though he hadn't expected Mo Yu to possess such powerful soul power.
Unlike Dou Qi cultivation, soul power cultivation methods had long been lost in the Dou Qi Continent.
Even though Liu Qing hailed from a prominent family in Central Plains, he had never witnessed such formidable soul power among the younger generation, aside from some high-level alchemists.
Upon sensing the overwhelming soul power radiating from Mo Yu, Liu Qing realized the true terror of this newcomer to the Inner Academy.
However, with the battle reaching this stage, even if Mo Yu's strength suddenly soared to the Dou Wang level, Liu Qing could only press forward, his nature refusing him retreat—especially against a true rookie!
Releasing a long-held breath from his chest, a fierce golden light burst forth from within Liu Qing, shining so brilliantly it was like a blazing sun, and an incredibly sharp spear aura surged out, unstoppable.
In the face of Mo Yu's sudden surge in soul power, Liu Qing showed his stance through action. As rank three on the Strong List, his pride did not permit retreat without a fight.
After all, he'd refined this trump card for years, and coupled with his Dou Qi's resonance, its power, Liu Qing believed, could rival even Di-Class Dou Techniques.
Liu Qing's eyes sparkled as the true clash approached, feeling his blood boil—a feeling he hadn't felt since his fierce clash with Lin Xiuya back then!
"Haha, Mo Yu, I admit I underestimated you. Come, let's see which of us wins today!"
His hearty laughter, full of unmatched power, resonated across the square, pushing the atmosphere to a fever pitch.
"If that's the case, then I'll gladly accept rank three on the Strong List!"
The silver-eyed young man raised his head proudly. Enveloped by soul power, his posture was upright and his appearance strikingly captivating, momentarily attracting the admiration of many beautiful senior students watching from the stands.
"Fine. If I lose, I'll willingly hand over rank three!"
The golden light around Liu Qing grew even more intense, enveloping his entire body, leaving only his thunderous laughter reverberating outward.
In the next instant, the blinding golden light suddenly retracted inward, condensing into the Mountain-Crushing Spear. At the tip of the spear, golden energy resembling liquid trickled like a sentient spirit.
"One strike to decide the outcome!"
With a sharp motion, he angled his spear skyward. The heavy spear crashed down with a fierce whoosh, releasing a terrifying force along the ground, reducing the surrounding rubble to powder under shocked gazes.
"Great Rift!"
A thunderous roar resounded as golden light erupted from the Mountain-Crushing Spear tip, unleashing a sea of dazzling golden brilliance. It tore through the air with an ear-splitting blast, streaking toward Xiao Yan in the distance. Wherever the golden light passed, the ground splintered apart!
The sheer power of Liu Qing's all-out strike was terrifying, stunning everyone in the arena.
Several elders drawn by the fighters' energy looked on gravely, realizing this Dou Technique had nearly reached the level of a Di-Class technique.
In a concealed corner of the arena floated a black-robed elder with a retracted aura.
Draped in a black robe with white hair and beard, the elder appeared amiable, but his gaze was as sharp as a blade.
If any onlookers were present, they would recognize this unassuming black-robed elder as none other than Su Qian, the Grand Elder of the Inner Academy at Jia Nan Academy!
Watching the dazzling golden light on the field, he murmured softly, "That's the boy from the Liu family… I didn't expect him to wield a Xuan-Class Dou Technique with such finesse. Worthy of a talent from Central Plains. Now then, his opponent…"
Looking at the silver-eyed young man standing opposite Liu Qing, a glimmer of recognition crossed the elder's eyes. "Green robe, silver eyes… it seems he's the first freshman in the academy's history to challenge the Strong List and gain entry to the Inner Academy. His name should be… Mo Yu."
As Su Qian recalled the name that had surprised him, he was further astonished by the overwhelming soul power filling the arena.
"This boy possesses such formidable soul power. Even in the entire Black-Corner Region, including renowned high-tier alchemists, few would rival his soul power."
The elder even sensed that in pure soul power, he himself might not be Mo Yu's equal.
"It seems the academy has recruited some excellent talents recently…" he mused after a moment.
On the field, Mo Yu, unaware that his strength had attracted the attention of the academy's upper echelon, stood surrounded by dazzling golden spear energy.
As a rank three Strong List member, Liu Qing was indeed formidable.
Not only had he nearly reached the Dou Wang level, but he had also elevated his Xuan-Class high-level Dou Technique to nearly Di-Class power.
Recalling the original Strong List Tournament, where Xiao Yan had fought Liu Qing, Mo Yu noted that even after using a Di-Class Dou Technique, Xiao Yan only managed a draw. This alone spoke volumes of Liu Qing's strength.
If Mo Yu wanted to avoid Xiao Yan's fate, he would have to rely on his powerful soul power to overpower Liu Qing!
As his soul power condensed into a long spear, Mo Yu stepped forward under the crowd's watchful eyes.
A massive, pitch-black spear hovered above him, emitting an eerie and terrifying aura unlike any Dou Qi Dou Technique. Instead, it matched the level of a powerful soul technique wielded through potent soul energy.
Seeing the soul spear above Mo Yu, the audience held their breath, faces flushed with excitement.
Under countless gazes, Mo Yu swung his arm, and the massive spear plunged downward!
"Soul Thousand Transformations: Forest Shade Spear!"
With Mo Yu's command, the spear over 3 meters long shot forward with unstoppable force!
Soul Thousand Transformations was a mid-level Di-Class soul technique recorded deep within Mo Yu's mind. This technique allowed the wielder's soul power to take various forms, like swords, spears, and beasts, fully maximizing soul power's potential.
As the king of all weapons, the spear Mo Yu condensed with his soul power gained a powerful edge with Soul Thousand Transformations, ideal for piercing defenses!
With Mo Yu's soul power nearly at the Dou Wang level and the added strength of a Di-Class soul technique, even a five-star Dou Wang would find it hard to avoid defeat before this Forest Shade Spear!
Witnessing the terrifying Forest Shade Spear, Lin Xiuya, observing from the lower platform, showed a hint of surprise.
Although he couldn't recognize Mo Yu's technique as a soul technique, his sharp eyes quickly discerned that Mo Yu, with his formidable soul power, was wielding a unique method akin to Dou Techniques to unleash his soul's full strength.
"Liu Qing… will likely lose," he murmured softly.
Hearing this, Yan Hao and others beside him were momentarily shocked. But as they gazed at the terrifying Forest Shade Spear, their minds filled with awe for Mo Yu's overwhelming power, and they couldn't help but feel sympathy for Liu Qing.
"Boss has indeed hidden much of his strength," Lin Yan remarked, his eyes wide with awe.
The Forest Shade Spear's power had surpassed his imagination.
"Weren't Boss and that Pan Gate leader Xiao Yan from some small family in a remote empire? Xiao Yan is already impressive, making Pan Gate flourish so quickly."
Qian Mo wiped the sweat from his forehead and muttered, "But really, the boss is the true monster. If someone told me he came from a mysterious family in Central Plains, I'd believe it."
Hearing this, Lin Yan nodded slightly. He had been part of the Mo Gang for a longer time, and he knew that besides Mo Yu and Xiao Yan, even that Xiao Xun'er from Pan Gate was incredibly deep and unfathomable.
Thinking about it, the Xiao Clan had already produced three prodigies. If he had the chance, he truly wished to visit the Jia Ma Empire to see this mysterious Xiao Clan…
At that moment, as the Forest Shade Spear shot out, the air itself rippled like a stone thrown into a lake, the once-smooth ground instantly shattered and fragmented. A half-meter-wide crack tore along the trajectory of the Forest Shade Spear, swiftly extending under the astonished gazes of the crowd!
On the platform, a brilliant golden light occupied half the sky, while the Forest Shade Spear streaked forward like a meteor, both attacks radiating a fierce, lethal edge. The golden and dark lights reflected in countless eyes, and the two terrifying attacks were about to collide like two meteors crashing into each other!
As they grew closer, every spectator's heart clenched involuntarily—who would emerge victorious from this fearsome clash? Anticipation and anxiety filled the air as, in the next moment, the dark spear and golden light smashed together with an explosive impact.
Shocked eyes looked up slowly, gazing at the sky where dark and golden hues intertwined, each trying to devour the other like two different-colored waves. Despite the intense confrontation, some sharp-eyed individuals noticed that the soul-powered Forest Shade Spear was gradually consuming the golden radiance.
The entire crowd waited in suspense as faint hissing sounds began to emerge from the seething energies. Mo Yu raised an eyebrow and snapped his fingers casually. In the next moment, the Forest Shade Spear vibrated, its tip spinning fiercely, gathering an overwhelming amount of soul energy at its point.
With a colossal burst of force, the spear broke through the golden light with unstoppable might!
"Boom!!!"
A blinding flash of light cascaded down from the sky. As the Forest Shade Spear erupted, the golden energy sphere could no longer withstand the soul energy's onslaught. In an instant, a thunderous explosion resounded, carrying a monstrous storm that spread from the air, shaking space itself.
Amidst the brutal collision of forces, a mouthful of blood spurted from Liu Qing's lips. His entire body crashed hard against the ground, skidding backward before finally shooting out of the arena and slamming into the spectator stands, causing a stir among the crowd.
Seeing this, everyone around the square shot to their feet. Gazing at Liu Qing, now lying unconscious outside the arena, they gulped and looked back at Mo Yu, who stood proudly in the center, mouths agape in shock.
"Liu Qing has been defeated. The third spot on the Strong List has a new owner!"
For someone who had dominated the top three positions on the rankings for years, the overwhelming strength of the "Dominating Spear" Liu Qing had left a lasting impression on every student present.
Now, with Liu Qing's defeat, everyone felt a strange sense of unreality.
"The intensity of that battle just now..."
Recalling the terrifying energy storm that had erupted earlier, everyone's heart began racing, only now realizing the thrill they had witnessed. When they looked back at the silver-eyed youth on the platform, their eyes were filled with awe and reverence.
Though Liu Qing's defeat seemed unreal, Mo Yu had used his crushing strength to secure his place as the undisputed third on the rankings! From now on, Mo Yu's name would echo throughout the Inner Academy!
Below the platform, Yan Hao glanced at Liu Qing, who lay covered in blood, a peculiar glint flashing in his eyes as he muttered, "Unbelievable. Who would've thought that Mo Yu could bring Liu Qing to such a sorry state?"
Beside him, Lin Xiuya nodded calmly, but his hand, hidden within his sleeve, was trembling slightly. The destructive power contained in the two energy orbs from earlier was terrifying beyond measure; he knew that if either of those attacks had struck an ordinary person, they would have been gravely injured or even killed in an instant!
What shocked Lin Xiuya even more was that he himself wasn't sure he could withstand Mo Yu's Forest Shade Spear.
In other words, Mo Yu, a newcomer to the Inner Academy for only a few short months, had not only taken Liu Qing's third spot but could potentially challenge even the second spot if he wished—and Lin Xiuya might not be able to stop him!
Lin Xiuya even considered that if Mo Yu wanted, he might be able to challenge the feared number one on the rankings, the "Brute Force Queen," and perhaps even match his strength…
