As soon as the three upper house disciples gave the order, the Heaven and Earth-rank disciples were all excited.
Lin Shen was no exception.
He had expected a fierce battle after they entered the Dragon Abyss Mountain, but as it turned out, he didn’t need to do anything.
Lin Shen didn’t want to stand out and broke the tacit agreement by partic.i.p.ating in the battle, so he had no choice but to sit there like the other disciples.
Luckily, the clones had been cultivating in his mind, so he didn’t waste any time.
Over the past few days, he had reached Mastery in Moving Star Steps.
And now, that wait was finally going to end.
As the paG.o.da went deeper into the Dragon Abyss Mountain, it was time for the Heaven and Earth-rank disciples to take the stage.
Before long, the paG.o.da stopped above a bare hill.
The corresponding mountain peaks were soon shown on the map.
There were at least 300 b.a.l.l.s of light this time, far more than any previous mountains.
About 60% of them were red.
Seven to eight dots of light were blood-red, which were obvious signs of late-phase Ascension Stage spiritual beasts.
Xie Jingsheng raised his hand, and the image on the map changed again. It was as if the clouds had parted, and a mountain view appeared out of thin air. It then enlarged.
In the blink of an eye, they saw hundreds of white-eyed spirit tigers gathering together and staring at the sky.
“From now on, the tough battles will begin.”
Xie Jingsheng looked at the Heaven and Earth-rank disciples on both sides and smiled.
“Junior Brothers and Sisters, it’s your turn.”
There were around 200 Ascension Stage spiritual beasts down there, and neither the Heaven nor Earth-rank disciples were their match. Working together was the best choice.
The others all nodded in unison.
Soon, the group of Heaven and Earth-rank disciples descended on a cloud.
Xie Jingsheng, Mu Chuanhua, and Jiang Hao sat there quietly.
Mere Ascension Stage spiritual beasts weren’t worth their effort.
Their job was to fight Enlightening Stage spiritual beasts.
It was only a matter of time before they ran into such spiritual beasts. All they had to do now was to conserve their energy and prepare for the upcoming war.
All the Yellow-rank and Black-rank disciples held their breaths and watched the landscape with rapt attention.
In a matter of seconds, all 50 disciples were 20m away from the top of the mountain. Before the clouds even touched down, many of them had put a Flying Feather Talisman on themselves, jumped off, and charged at the spiritual beasts.
Xie Jingsheng chuckled.
” I see that they’re all motivated.”
“Isn’t that a good thing?” Mu Chuanhua grinned. “That way, we can save some energy before the Enlightening Stage spiritual beasts show up.”
Xie Jingsheng nodded with a smile.
Jiang Hao pursed his lips and didn’t reply.
The battle on the mountain peak soon reached its climax.
The weakest of the disciples were at Level-7 of the Long Breath Stage. Moreover, they had been cultivating in the academy for three years and had an ample amount of enchanted armament and talismans. Any one of them could fight three to four mid-phase Ascension spiritual beasts on their own!
Even if they faced a late-phase Ascension Stage spiritual beast, they would definitely win in a one-on-one battle!
Therefore, although the spiritual beasts had the advantage in numbers, as time pa.s.sed, they gradually became the ones at a disadvantage. Under the fierce attacks of the disciples, they retreated step by step.
Swoosh!
With a sharp and short sound, Lin Shen bent his fingers into claws and grabbed at the head of a white-eyed spirit tiger.
The latter’s skull, which was as hard as iron, was as fragile as tofu under Lin Shen’s claws. It was instantly pierced through, leaving behind five shocking finger holes, from which blood gushed out.
Before it could even scream, the tiger fell to the ground, dead.
In order to more efficiently trigger the effect of the Testify by Killing talent, Lin Shen didn’t use the Six Yang Talisman Sword. Instead, he used various palm techniques and claw techniques that had yet to reach Perfection to fight the enemy. The movement techniques he used were also the ones he had just reached Beginner in the past few days.
Even though the martial technique he used was far from powerful, and their stage wasn’t advanced, with his cultivation at Level 7 of the Long Breath Stage, there were still very few spiritual beasts that could last ten rounds against Lin Shen.
In just four to five minutes, Lin Shen had killed more than ten spiritual beasts.
It wasn’t outstanding among the disciples, but it wasn’t too bad either.
However, in the eyes of some people, it didn’t match Lin Shen’s reputation.
“Strange, didn’t they say that Lin Shen’s attainments in martial arts are very high? Why doesn’t it look like it?”
“That’s right. 1 remember that in the previous disciple-level challenge, Lin Shen even used the Supreme Yang Swordplay and the Six Yang Talisman Sword. Why is he unarmed now?”
“This martial technique seems to be the Iron Claw?”
“That claw technique worth three minor merits? Didn’t Lin Shen cultivate Meltdown? Why didn’t he use that?”
The disciples in the tower discussed animatedly. Many of them looked puzzled.
Most of them had seen Lin Shen’s performance in the disciple rank challenge with their own eyes. No matter how envious they looked on the surface, they had to admit that Lin Shen’s martial arts attainments far exceeded cultivators of the same level.
Because of this, many people were confused..
