"What he's doing is similar to what I did before I broke through," the Terminator said coolly.
"When I was at the peak of the ninth rank, I visited all my peers and let them attack me with their strongest attacks.
I used their attacks to find my own path.
At the same time, I used the pain of their attacks to stimulate my own potential.
Constantine is doing the same thing.
There's nothing to say about that fight. If Constantine wanted to, Blackmoon wouldn't have been able to fire a single shot.
There's a big gap in power between them.
In this group, Constantine won't have a worthy opponent.
Aside from him, there's no one at the ninth rank or eighth rank.
Their Disciplines are pretty average. "
Mo Xiao nodded. She agreed with the Terminator's point of view.
Seven of the eight fights had ended. There was only one left, and the first round of the round-robin would be over.
The last fight was between Xuanyuan Shishi and Ying Suifeng.
Ying Suifeng, ninth rank, seventh rank. Discipline: Spirit of Speech, Command.
Xuanyuan Shishi, ninth rank, seventh rank. Discipline: Cloud.
Both were from the Eastern Alliance.
Ying Suifeng was an average-looking, but cool-looking young man. He was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old.
Xuanyuan Shishi looked younger than him, and was very handsome.
He wore a bright smile.
"Hello, hello.
Please go easy on me. "Xuanyuan Shishi greeted Ying Suifeng as soon as he stepped onto the stage.
Ying Suifeng nodded back in greeting.
"Three, two, one. Begin!" The electronic voice boomed.
Ying Suifeng's body flickered, and he split into three.
It was very similar to a mecha's lightning doppelganger, and three clones at that.
But the difference was that it seemed to be an ability of his own.
The three huge dragons quickly merged together, their backs touching each other. They had actually turned into an existence with three heads and six arms.
The three bodies pressed their palms together at the same time.
"Silence!" A low voice called out.
At that moment, the entire stage fell silent.
Xuanyuan Shishi looked at Ying Suifeng, confused. He lifted his right hand, and a cloud floated out, enveloping Ying Suifeng.
"Cloud, disperse!" Ying Suifeng growled.
The cloud dissipated.
Not a trace was left.
This …
The Spiritual Speech Arcana was a very rare arcana.
It was very similar to Lan Jue's God King Transformation.
But his level was slightly lower.
After Lan Jue's God King Transformation, the God King's Spirit of Speech could truly draw upon the power of heaven and earth through laws, while Ying Suifeng's Spirit of Speech could only produce an effect within a relatively small area.
Xuanyuan Shishi raised his hands, and a large cloud enveloped them.
Just like in his previous matches, he tried to envelop the entire field.
Shadow Sifting Wind's three-headed, six-armed body suddenly flew out and rushed toward the clouds.
Seeing that the clouds were about to envelop his body, he put his six arms together again. "Cloud Scatter!"
"Poof!" Suddenly, a large expanse of clouds and mist dispersed.
However, this time, the audience was able to see some clues. Not all of the clouds had dissipated.
And that was only a part of the clouds.
The diameter of these dispersed clouds was about 50 meters, and the clouds further away were not within the range of the Word Spirit.
Although the Spiritual Speech ability was powerful, it clearly had a range.
Otherwise, wouldn't he be invincible?
But right at this moment, the front of Ying Suifeng's three bodies spread apart his hands and shouted in a low voice, "Cloud Split!"
An invisible force appeared in front of him, and the clouds that hadn't been touched before suddenly parted to reveal a path.
In the waiting area.
Lan Jue's brows furrowed. She turned to the Pharmacist at her side. "His Spirit of Speech is a form of spiritual energy, right?"
The Pharmacist nodded.
"Of course. A true Spirit of Speech.
Only protogenia can do that.
Moreover, the so-called Word of Law depends on the strength of the opponent.
If the opponent is strong enough, he won't be of much use.
Cloud Scatter is only fifty meters in diameter, that's not right either.
A ninth level seventh rank Spirit of Speech shouldn't be this weak.
Perhaps he's pretending to be weak. "
Xuanyuan Shishi's figure was nowhere to be seen, but Ying Suifeng was already at the center of the ring.
The three-headed, six-armed body stopped in place, and closed its eyes.
The clouds around them surged again, and thickened.
It didn't take long for them to close in on him, as if to envelop him.
Suddenly, all three of Ying Suifeng's heads opened their eyes. "Explode!"
In the ring, the clouds froze in place. Then, a low rumble of an explosion filled the air.
Large swathes of clouds and mist dispersed, and the violent energy fluctuations turned the tournament stage's barrier golden in an instant. It had to be known that there were very few Ability Users who could cause such a phenomenon in their previous battles!
How could the Spirit of Speech be this strong?
"His Spirit of Speech must be spreading out evenly around himself. That's why he's positioned himself in the center of the ring.
Even if it doesn't hurt him, it'll force him out.
He'll probably launch a series of attacks after this. "The Terminator's voice was calm.
A terrible explosion of power erupted, and the ring became a sea of energy.
Because the shields had turned golden, the outside world couldn't see what was going on.
Everyone was looking forward to it.
The terrifying waves of energy continued for six or seven seconds before slowing to a stop.
However, when they saw everything on the stage clearly, they couldn't help but be dumbstruck.
On the stage, the mist had indeed dissipated. However, there were many more things in its place.
Ying Suifeng, who had used the Spirit of Speech, was still in the center of the arena. However, his eyes were also filled with shock.
With him as the epicenter, a dense array of swords floated in the air. They were a milky white, as if formed from clouds. It was impossible to tell how many swords there were, but Xuanyuan Shishi was nowhere to be seen.
Each sword was pointed at the three-headed, six-armed Ying Suifeng in the center of the ring.
It was as strange as one could imagine.
Surprise flickered in the Terminator's eyes. It was clear the Paragon hadn't expected something like this to happen.
What was going on?
Why was it like this?
Everyone stared dumbfounded at the scene unfolding on the stage. For a moment, no one understood what had happened.
The Pharmacist, on the other hand, shot to her feet. "The Art of Ten Thousand Swords!"
She hadn't shown such an expression even when she witnessed Jun Yongye's power. It was clear what she was seeing.
Lan Jue's heart skipped a beat. She couldn't help but think back to what her father had told her.
The Art of Ten Thousand Swords was a branch of the flying sword. It followed the path of countless transformations.
It was difficult to train in, but incredibly powerful.
Everyone thought Xuanyuan Shishi's ability was the cloud. Perhaps his ability really was the cloud.
But when the cloud was used in the form of the Art of Ten Thousand Swords, how could it be described by clouds?
What terrifying power!
Lan Jue's heart skipped a beat. Constantine had been the only one in the group, but now it looked like things were going to change!
Whether it was Ying Suifeng's Spirit of Speech or Xuanyuan Shishi's Art of Ten Thousand Swords, neither was easy to deal with.
Suddenly, the cloud swords in the ring began to move. Rings of swords, like a Halo of Thorns, shot toward Ying Suifeng.
"Scatter!" Ying Suifeng shouted.
Even the Spirit of Words couldn't just say whatever it wanted. The only thing that had real power were the words of truth.
For example, the words he'd shouted earlier, "scatter, explode."
The first row of Cloud Swords suddenly dispersed and flew out in a seemingly chaotic manner. However, the second row of Cloud Swords had already arrived in front of him in an instant. What was more frightening was that the outer ring of Cloud Swords was still rushing towards him at an astonishing speed. There was no end to it.
"Explode!" Ying Suifeng shouted again.
The Spirit of Speech turned the ring into a world of gold once more. The light of the shield blocked everyone's vision once more.
The violent roar lasted for a full five seconds before it ended. However, when the golden light disappeared, the audience watching the stage were dumbfounded.
The number of cloud swords on the stage had decreased by at least five times. However, the remaining cloud swords had increased in size by at least three times. Not only had the originally pure white longswords become bigger, but there was also an additional golden pattern on the back of the sword.
If Jun Yongye's sword was the descent of a monarch, then he was the Grandmaster of the Sword.
Then, Xuanyuan Shishi's sword was ever-changing, ever-changing, ever-changing.
The gigantic cloud swords slowly flew forward. Compared to before, their speed was clearly much slower. However, as they flew, the air began to distort. From the outside, the space on the stage looked as if it was being sliced apart by a mysterious force, as if it was about to be divided into countless different spaces.
On the VIP platform, Mo Xiao felt her heart skip a beat. To her horror, the Terminator beside her was releasing a murderous aura.
This is …
His Majesty the Terminator wanted to kill?
Was it for Xuanyuan Shishi?
"I concede!"
Ying Suifeng's disgruntled voice came from the ring.
He had no choice but to concede. The cloud swords that could cut through space were not something he could withstand. If he didn't, he'd have no choice but to wait for his body to be sliced apart.
He knew that his Spirit of Speech couldn't break through the cloud swords. He might as well concede, or he'd lose even more.
The ten thousand swords converged into a beam of light that descended upon the ring. The handsome Xuanyuan Shishi appeared, hands cupped in greeting. "You let me win, you let me win!"
-----
Seventh chapter!
There's only an hour left until the end of today's uncapped eruption. If you're so good as to let me get up for another two chapters, then I'll concede!
Heh heh.
Everyone's worked hard today. Go wash up and get some sleep!
I'm going to sleep as well.
