"For a dumb brute like him to be so arrogant... all brawn and no brains!"
"He’s no match for her, not by a long shot! We’re about to score another win!"
"Let’s take down Hengshan Hall in one go!"
Hu Jing’s agility was the perfect counter to a ferocious type like Gang Lian. Gang Lian was a pure Body Cultivator who trained his body to be his only weapon. Under Hu Jing’s complete suppression, he could only shield his head with his arms as the Ice-Fire Talismans ravaged him.
The difficulty lay in the control of Elental Power. Both the Fire Talisman and the Ice Soul Talisman were Low-Level Talismans, but the challenge ca from combining two completely opposite Five Elents Attributes. This made the Life Mark Combination incredibly difficult.
Hu Jing’s mastery over the two Cultivation Techniques was truly perfect.
Having experienced the benefits of the two Cultivation Techniques, how could Hu Jing not dedicate herself to them? During her ti in the Space Secret Realm, she had focused all her energy on this. Rather than waste ti learning an unrefined Talisman Array, she chose to strengthen her use of the two Talismans. When coordinated properly, two Low-Level Talismans could create an effect even stronger than a Bursting Fire Talisman.
More importantly, Hu Jing was looking to the future. This skill would be the foundation of her standing in the Holy Hall.
Gang Lian was brought to a dead stop. Hu Jing’s Fire Talismans blasted toward him, relentlessly bombarding his sturdy body. It seed Gang Lian had given up on dodging.
This sent a chill through the hearts of the spectating Hengshan Hall disciples. What was wrong with the world? How could it be so ruthless, so unfair? Was this still the sa Thunderlight Hall?
’It’s like they each popped a Great Rejuvenation Pill! They’re just too fierce!’
Song Zhong couldn’t help but nod. "Hu Jing has made great progress. She really is a clever girl."
The details determine success or failure. It was clear Hu Jing had made full use of the past ten-odd days, and with a very specific strategy in mind.
The suppressive effect of her alternating bombardnt of Fire Talismans and Ice Soul Talismans was even greater than the wild barrage of Zhou Qian’s Bursting Fire Talismans.
Its destructive power might not compare, but its Control Power was stronger and its frequency higher. And it just so happened to be a perfect counter for an old-school, tall-and-fierce type of Body Cultivator like Gang Lian.
Hengshan Hall was naturally unwilling to give up. They shouted all kinds of encouragent, and their war drums thundered, but Gang Lian just kept defending with his head covered.
anwhile, Hu Jing was already preparing her Ice-Fire Talisman. ’This suppression alone can’t win the fight,’ she thought. ’The opponent is just trying to wear down. With his size and terrifying defense, even these Low-Level Fire Talismans are a drain on a Technique Cultivator. The mont I show an opening, he’ll counterattack.’
But Gang Lian was being too naive.
"Looks like Hengshan Hall is about to follow in our footsteps. Seriously, is Thunderlight Hall really this strong?"
Fang Lufei pursed his lips. On one hand, he wanted Thunderlight Hall to continue its triumphant advance. On the other, it was a bit hard to swallow. They knew how strong Hengshan Hall was—truly fierce and powerful. But what was happening before their eyes was just unbelievable.
But the supporters of Thunderlight Hall—or rather, the supporters of the dream—let out a cheer that shook the heavens. They were all watching a dream beco reality, step by step.
’Who said Thunderlight Hall’s luck would end here? As long as we make it to the final, decisive battle, we have Wang ng, our miracle worker. We can definitely win!’
The disciples of Hundred Herbs Hall, Beast Hall, and Fire Cloud Hall... why were they here?
They couldn’t understand the profound rhythm and control of the fight. They were here to find their own dream, hoping that one day they too could follow in these footsteps.
Hu Jing channeled her Elental Power. A Fire Talisman and an Ice Soul Talisman materialized, floating above her shoulders as they began to gather power.
With the experience from her last fight, Hu Jing had practiced this technique countless tis in the Space Secret Realm. It had to be said that the abundant Elental Power there was much more suitable for casting Magic. Back in the Holy Hall, the difficulty was a little higher.
Thunderlight Hall’s morale was soaring. Zhang Xiaojiang and the others were overjoyed. As long as Hu Jing got a chance to unleash her technique, her attack power was the strongest in Thunderlight Hall—unmatched. Currently, no disciple around the Twenty Layers could possibly withstand it.
And this ti, the charging ti for Hu Jing’s Ice-Fire lting Break was only half of what it was before!
That was the biggest change. Yet Gang Lian seed to have no reaction at all.
"This Hu Jing is so clever. She chose to reduce the power to shorten the casting ti!"
"This is a hall battle. After what happened with Song Zhong, who would give her an opportunity like this? You can only bla Hengshan Hall’s glaring weakness. Sending up a big oaf like that is just handing Thunderlight Hall a free win."
A few disciples from Dao Guang Hall looked on with disdain. ’In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king. It’s laughable that a fight of this level can stir up such a storm in the Holy Hall.’
’That Gang Lian is just a tall, strong idiot, and this Hu Jing only has one trick up her sleeve. Anyone from Dao Guang Hall could beat her without even giving her the chance to use it.’
’And a low-level fight like this can actually attract so many spectators? Have the standards of the Holy Hall dropped, or are our own just too high?’
BOOM...
Gang Lian, who had been defending with his head down, suddenly shuddered. He casually swatted away an incoming Fire Talisman. A domineering sneer appeared on his face. "What a damn pain. Now, let see what you’ve really got!"
Hope ignited among the Hengshan Hall disciples, but Tang Wei’s face turned ashen. A single word escaped his lips: "Idiot."
’Clearly, with Gang Lian’s skill, he absolutely could have prevented Hu Jing from ever using this move. I anticipated he’d be matched against her, so I told him to use his ultimate move to finish her off imdiately. I can’t believe that bastard agreed to my face but went against my orders!’
A wicked smile crept onto Huang Feng’s lips. ’We’re back, but we have no intention of being Tang Wei’s lackeys. This is a perfect opportunity to show our strength, especially to the Elders and even the Ancestral Master. We didn’t co back just to help Tang Wei achieve his grand ambitions!’
Hu Jing’s composure was truly excellent. Even after seeing this turn of events, she steadily released her Ice-Fire lting Break.
Gang Lian opened his arms wide to greet the Ice-Fire lting Break, as if he were embracing a beautiful woman.
SWOOSH...
Gang Lian took a sudden step forward, and the ground beneath him shattered. With a thunderous roar, his hair and beard standing on end and every muscle in his body bulging, he caught the Ice-Fire lting Break with his bare hands.
His tyrannical strength held firm against the Ice-Fire lting Break’s assault.
All the Thunderlight Hall disciples were screaming, "Blast him away! Blast him away..."
But the Ice-Fire lting Break didn’t explode. The Magic’s power was being held back, unable to reach its detonation point.
Gang Lian struggled against it, baring his teeth. Only a foolish Body Cultivator would confront an attack directly instead of defending against it. If the strength used for confrontation was overwheld, there would be no way to mount a full defense. It was a suicidal gamble.
ROAR!
Amidst his wild roar, Gang Lian’s arms, which had wrapped around the Ice-Fire lting Break, suddenly grew to an enormous size.
Dual—Mighty Divine Arm!
POP...
The Ice-Fire lting Break shattered...
The Magic was broken!
Gang Lian viciously flexed his arms, surging with invincible power.
"You dare challenge Hengshan Hall with such a paltry trick? We can shatter all defenses! Only might is undefeated!"
Gang Lian completely ignored Hu Jing, turning arrogantly to flex his arms. This drew frenzied cheers from the Hengshan Hall disciples. (To be continued. If you like this work, please co to Qidian to vote for it with recomndation tickets and monthly passes. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
