The barrage of attacks didn't stop. In fact, they only grew fiercer and fiercer.
Every time Hua Bai's claws clawed at the shield, Ding Meng could feel his opponent's Origin Energy continuously increasing. At first, he didn't pay much attention to it, but now, every time Hua Bai clawed at him, the shield actually began to tremble slightly.
Little Rascal was also shocked. "This is the crown force field that the Diamond Star Technique is so proud of. He actually managed to break it with his bare hands."
Ding Meng could also feel that the crown's Origin Energy was no longer as pure and hard as it had been in the beginning. Moreover, Hua Bai's ice Origin Energy made him feel quite uncomfortable. Not only did his speed decrease, he could faintly feel the suffocating feeling he had felt during his battle with Lan Bing. His opponent's Origin Energy was extremely oppressive.
Hua Bai's flashing left and right attacks were very difficult to parry. If this continued, it would be bad for him. Ding Meng secretly activated his origin. He was determined to go all out.
At this moment, Du Mo, Cheng Jin, Duan Fengyang, and Jin Yun all spontaneously retreated a few dozen meters. They had already sensed the astonishing change in Ding Meng's body.
"He's not just as strong as he was shown in the video." Cheng Jin was asking Du Mo.
Du Mo's eyes were wide open. "I can only say that he's improved quite a bit during this period of time."
Jin Yun watched the chaotic force field in the distance and muttered, "Everyone underestimated him. He already has the embryonic form of a beginner combat master. He's just temporarily suppressed."
Cheng Jin clicked his tongue in praise. "His index has exceeded 1.1 million points. If this explosive power isn't from the thermodynamic system, then what other system could it be?"
Jin Yun curled his lips. He didn't want to reply.
At this moment, Ding Meng was tired of dealing with him, but how could Hua Bai not be anxious?
He could at least confirm a few things about this kid in front of him. First, he had a lot of combat experience. He knew how to dodge and dodge, and at the very least, he didn't waste any extra energy.
Second, Ding Meng's Origin Energy foundation was extremely deep. His foundation was almost as solid as this group of teachers. If he hadn't seen him in person, he would have judged that this person's Origin Energy foundation to be at least twenty years of hard work.
Thirdly, and most frightening of all, this kid had yet to draw his sword.
Without a doubt, Hua Bai was also a person with rich combat experience. He understood this point very well. Sometimes, an enemy who did not make a move was even more terrifying than when they made a move. This was because once the enemy made a move, it would be a fatal blow. And that was when one's own weakness would be exposed.
All of a sudden, a black shadow silently swept in from the chaos, like a ghost suddenly appearing. It was just that at that moment, one would feel a little dazed, and by the time one could see clearly, it would be completely too late.
Ding Meng had always been wary of this black shadow because it was a Nemesis Battle Armor, and the person inside it was Teacher Du Mandong.
Back on Cypress Ancient Planet, this battle armor had seemed a little immature in Du Mo's hands. After all, Du Mo's strength was limited, but this time, it was being personally controlled by an instructor. Its power could not be underestimated.
Du Mandong had been observing the fierce battle between Hua Bai and Ding Meng the entire time. Logically speaking, with the poisonous gas surrounding them, Ding Meng's strength should have been weakened. Hua Bai was also firmly entangled with him, forcing Ding Meng to block, parry, and dodge step by step. She had been waiting for the right moment to cut in at the most intense moment of the battle. The Nemesis Battle Armor's advantage lay in its ambush and assassination. Two steel spikes flew rapidly towards Ding Meng's back. Du Mandong couldn't think of any way that Ding Meng could dodge.
These spikes were like two fish bones swimming in deep water, silently swimming towards him. In addition, the spikes were covered in a faint arc of energy. It was obvious that they had been imbued with a sharp Origin Energy.
However, a jaw-dropping scene occurred. Ding Meng suddenly leaned forward, using his shoulder to block Hua Bai's attack.
Ding ding! Two crisp sounds rang out, and a large portion of the Crown Shield's luster dimmed. At the same time, however, the two steel spikes swam past his back, piercing empty air. Ding Meng's right heel hooked upwards. It was as if he was carrying the Nemesis Battle Armor on his back and throwing her over his shoulder.
He had calculated that the battle armor would be waiting for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack. Once the opportunity presented itself, it would not leave any room for retreat and would attack with all its strength. As such, his heel hooked upwards.
When he saw this, Du Mo's admiration for Ding Meng came from the bottom of his heart. The way Ding Meng had countered this attack was truly unbelievably ingenious. Most importantly, Ding Meng was just too calm.
After dodging Du Mandong's fatal attack, Ding Meng lightly retreated. At the same time, a white light suddenly flashed in the chaos. With a "zheng" sound, the Absolute Shadow Sword automatically left its scabbard. "Sou sou sou", it spun in a circle towards Hua Bai. This time, it was Hua Bai's turn to block in a flurry.
Stephen was very experienced and knowledgeable. At this moment, he couldn't help but cry out, "He actually cultivated applied telekinesis. How is that possible?"
At this moment, the Nemesis Battle Armor returned from behind Hua Bai, leaping high above Hua Bai's head. The steel spikes once again drew two strange arcs as they chopped towards him.
Ding Meng also leaped high into the air. In mid-air, he waved his hand, retrieving the disk and holding the long sword in his hand. Ding Meng and his sword stabbed down vertically at a 90 degree angle. The tip of the sword was aimed straight at Hua Bai's head. This sword was strange, dangerous, fast, and absolute. If one wasn't in it, it would be extremely difficult to understand how strange and terrifying it was.
Hua Bai already had a premonition that this was Ding Meng's fatal attack. In a moment of desperation, he couldn't care less. He retracted his claws and retreated quickly. He floated back more than ten meters.
"Ding —"
The long sword stabbed into the ground and suddenly bent. Then, it quickly straightened. Ding Meng borrowed the force of this straightening to bounce forward. He spun horizontally in the air, and the sword light also spun even faster. It was like a whirlpool that swept towards Hua Bai.
"Ding ding ding ding ding ding —"
Hua Bai's palms were covered in a layer of light yellow shield-like energy. With dazzling speed, he blocked Ding Meng's Strangling Sword.
Finally, the most heaven-defying scene appeared. In the vision of Du Mo and the others, Ding Meng disappeared. He seemed to have become one with the sword. The sword seemed to have turned into a strong beam of light. This strong beam of light, as thin as a needle, passed through Hua Bai's body. Hua Bai's mirror image hummed and turned into a white beam of light. The beam of light closed up and disappeared. This was the scene of the server retracting it.
The group of people suddenly opened their mouths wide. Hua Bai was actually insta-killed by Ding Meng's sword.
At this moment, Ding Meng's real body appeared thirty meters away. The sword in his hand spun a few times before it returned to its scabbard with a click.
Du Mandong seemed to be dumbfounded by this scene. The Nemesis Battle Armor stood in place without moving. It actually stopped attacking.
The beam of light descended from the sky. Hua Bai's mirror image quickly reformed beside Cheng Jin. Cheng Jin turned his head to look at Jin Yun. "Teacher Jin, it's your turn."
Jin Yun's gaze also seemed to be a little absent-minded. She suddenly sighed. "I think there's no need to fight anymore, right?"
Du Mandong's armor slowly faded into nothingness. She also revealed her real body. "There's no need to test anymore. Student Ding Meng has definitely passed."
Hua Bai walked out of the beam of light. He didn't have much of an expression on his face. His expression was very calm. "Fellow teachers, is there anything else you want to say?"
Ding Meng also slowly walked over. "Teachers, did I pass the test?"
"You definitely passed the test!"
Hua Bai's tone was very emotional. "Not only did you pass the test, but you also exceeded it. The six of us will be your lead teachers. I will definitely answer your request now. There's no problem."
"Thank you, Teacher Hua!" Ding Meng was actually very calm. He didn't feel much of a sense of accomplishment for being able to insta-kill Hua Bai.
It must be known that these teachers had lowered their strength to the level of a high level war elder. Others might not be able to tell, but he knew very well how much strength he had used in that last strike. He had used all of his mental power, tremor energy, essence, and smelted energy to achieve an insta-kill. This wasn't something to be happy about. He still had a lot to learn.
Jin Yun suddenly took two steps forward and waved at Ding Meng. "Student Ding Meng, I have a few words to say."
Ding Meng said, "Teacher Jin, please speak."
Jin Yun took a deep breath and used a meaningful tone to sigh. "Listen carefully. Use your qi to control the sword. Spin it into the ground. The sword reaches the spirit of qi. Spin it in a circle. Return your qi to the sword. Cross the river on a reed. Do you understand?"
Ding Meng finally revealed an expression of shock. The technique he had used to insta-kill Hua Bai just now, was the same chant.
At this moment, he couldn't help but ask in surprise, "So Teacher Jin also knows about Zhao's Solitary Sword?"
Jin Yun was also shocked. "What is your relationship with Elder Zhao?"
Ding Meng immediately replied respectfully, "Teacher Zhao Yue is the teacher who taught me classical sword techniques when I was studying at the Norse Empire's Listin Academy."
Jin Yun looked at him in disbelief. After a long time, she sighed. "No wonder he would teach you such a profound and complicated sword technique. You are indeed worthy of his trust. I didn't expect you to be able to understand one or two of it. You can be considered a genius …"
Everyone looked at each other. They didn't expect Ding Meng to have such a deep relationship. Even Jin Yun seemed to be related to this sword technique.
"This sword technique is actually not called 'Zhao's Solitary Sword'."
Jin Yun suddenly said something shocking. She seemed to have expected that Ding Meng would ask, so she took the initiative to explain, "We'll talk about this later. I'll tell you its origin and essence. You've only learned the form now. The form is similar, but the spirit is not …"
Ding Meng didn't say much. He took the initiative to step forward and bowed slightly as a sign of respect to Teacher Jin.
Only then did Jin Yun turn to Hua Bai and say seriously, "Ding Meng is definitely my student. There is no need to doubt this. You can discuss the arrangements among yourselves."
In fact, everyone could see that Ding Meng's sword technique was related to Jin Yun's. It was certain that Jin Yun would teach Ding Meng. However, now that everyone wanted to recruit Ding Meng, it was impossible for them to monopolize him. Therefore, Hua Bai had to stand up and make the decision. "How about this? Everyone will definitely take Ding Meng under their wing. However, I feel that Ding Meng's strength is still immature. The six of us will go back to the office and have a small meeting. We will try to draft a basic plan by today and let him practice on his own. I believe that with his talent, he will be able to comprehend it on his own. When he has something he doesn't understand, he will naturally come to us. What do you all think?"
Cheng Jin couldn't wait. "Don't waste your breath. Let's go to the office first!"
