Xiao Han's mind stirred, and a clear voice, tinged with barely perceptible concern, rang out. "Finals, good luck. I'm here."
It was Su Linglong. Those six simple words warmed Xiao Han. This seemingly aloof girl was actually more sensitive than anyone else.
Immediately after, another message arrived, carrying Xia Yubing's characteristic liveliness. "Junior Brother Xiao Han, you must beat that Ye Wuchen to a pulp tomorrow! I believe in you! Ice Face also asked me to give you my regards, she's too shy to say it herself, hehe."
Xiao Han smiled slightly. The "ice-cold face" Xia Yubing was referring to was naturally Luo Bing.
The last message came from Professor Lin Qingxia: "Go all out, don't hold back. I'll handle things with the higher-ups at the academy."
This undoubtedly reassured him. Lin Qingxia's support was more substantial than any flowery words.
This care and support, like a gentle stream, flowed into Xiao Han's heart, making his original determination to win the championship even more solid.
He took a deep breath, letting these warm emotions settle in his heart, and then focused his attention back on tomorrow's opponent.
Ye Wuchen.
SS+ Rank [Void Body]
Immune to most physical and energy attacks.
Skilled in mental magic and spatial distortion.
Peak of the Martial Master Realm Ninth Level.
The university's true trump card, kept hidden away.
These keywords kept swirling in Xiao Han's mind.
Illusions, mental attacks, spatial manipulation, void travel...
Xiao Han simulated dozens of possible battle scenarios. What if his "Annihilation Divine Fist" couldn't hit directly? What if the purifying power of the "Green Lotus Sword Song" had limited effect on weakening the Void Body? What if he was trapped in the opponent's mental illusion...?
Every possibility presented a challenge for him.
But his fighting spirit was high.
"The Void Body is not absolutely invincible," Xiao Han murmured to himself.
He thought of his Eternal Night King Martial Soul, which inherently contained the attributes of shadow and space. Especially after evolving into the Shadow Dominator and cultivating the "Shadow Void Scripture," his understanding of these two powers was now completely different.
"Perhaps, we can use space against space, and shadows to shatter nothingness."
A vague idea gradually became clear in his mind.
In this battle, he had no intention of holding back any longer.
With his cultivation at the Third Level of the Martial Master Realm, he even had a premonition that if the battle became intense enough, he might be able to use the pressure to break through his bottleneck and advance to the Martial Master Realm Fourth Level!
The Chaos Green Lotus and the Eternal Night Monarch, both SSS+ Martial Souls, will unleash their power without reservation.
The simultaneous operation of the "Creation-Heaven-Penetrating Art" and the "Shadow Void Scripture" provides a continuous source of spiritual energy and profound Shadow Void power.
The three core martial arts techniques, "Annihilation Divine Fist," "Green Lotus Sword Song," and "A Step to the Ends of the Earth," will combine with his dual Martial Soul characteristics to unleash the strongest destructive power.
The ability [Shadow Avatar] will also serve as a surprise weapon, playing a crucial role at critical moments.
The two temporary opportunities to use [Martial Soul Origin Awakening] and [Perfect Comprehension of Techniques and Martial Skills] awarded by the system were his biggest trump card, which allowed him to confront Ye Wuchen head-on!
The system was unusually quiet before the finals, not issuing any new optional tasks. This made Xiao Han realize that the rewards he had earned through countless near-death experiences were his only reliance for winning the championship.
That's good; fewer bizarre, socially challenging missions will allow him to focus more on the battle itself.
As night deepened, the noise outside the window seemed to gradually subside, leaving only the rustling of the wind through the leaves.
Inside the cultivation room, Xiao Han slowly opened his eyes.
His eyes were as calm as a deep pool, but beneath that calmness shone a light sharper than the stars.
The spiritual energy within his body surged like a volcano about to erupt, yet he controlled it perfectly. The brilliance of his two Martial Souls was contained within him, and the auras of chaos and eternal night intertwined, forming a unique balance.
His energy and spirit have reached an unprecedented peak.
Tomorrow is the day of the decisive battle!
Ye Wuchen, no matter how strange or powerful you are, I, Xiao Han, will go all out to seize that ultimate glory!
The highly anticipated finals of the Imperial Capital Academy Grand Competition have finally begun amidst thunderous cheers!
The Central Martial Arena was packed with people, and the atmosphere was intense. Countless eyes were focused on the contestants' passage, anticipating the arrival of the ultimate showdown.
The first to appear was Ye Wuchen, the top student of Zero Class.
Clad in pristine white, with an indifferent expression, he slowly walked onto the arena. In an instant, a vast and powerful aura surged forth from his body!
His terrifying cultivation at the Martial Master Realm Eighth Level Peak was on full display. Behind him, a deep and ethereal SSS-level Martial Soul phantom appeared and disappeared, radiating a heart-palpitating aura.
Even more astonishingly, the space around his body was slightly distorted, as if he could transform into nothingness and become immune to all magic—this was his legendary [Void Body]!
"Martial Master Realm Eighth Level Peak! This is Ye Wuchen's true strength!"
"An SSS-level Martial Soul! And that Void Body, how is Xiao Han going to fight it?"
Exclamations rose and fell. In the VIP section, Lin Qingxia's jade-like hand clenched slightly, and Su Linglong's cold eyes also rippled.
As everyone held their breath, Xiao Han appeared at the entrance of the passage. He was still dressed in green, his expression calm, and he stepped onto the arena step by step, facing Ye Wuchen from afar.
"Boom--!"
An aura that was in no way inferior to Ye Wuchen's, and even more refined and ancient, suddenly erupted from Xiao Han's body! His true cultivation at the peak of the Third Level of the Martial Master Realm was revealed. Although his realm was slightly inferior, the quality of that power made countless powerful figures change color!
Even more terrifying was that behind him, a Chaos Green Lotus rooted in chaos, sacred and majestic, and an Eternal Night Monarch draped in eternal night, reigning over the shadows, appeared simultaneously, their dual SSS+ Martial Soul phantoms overwhelming and shocking the entire audience!
"Double... double SSS+ Martial Souls! He was hiding it so well!"
"Third Level of the Martial Master Realm, yet his aura can overpower even high-level Martial Masters! Monster! This is absolutely a monster!"
The entire venue erupted in cheers!
"The match begins!" The referee's voice was drowned out by the deafening cheers.
Ye Wuchen's eyes narrowed, and he no longer held back. He formed hand seals, and his SSS-level Martial Soul shone brightly behind him:
"Void Exile!" In an instant, the arena space distorted violently, and invisible cracks appeared out of thin air, as if to completely devour Xiao Han and exile him to an unknown dimension. This was his trump card, a move that would kill without hesitation!
Xiao Han's expression remained unchanged as he simultaneously pushed the "Creation-Heaven-Penetrating Art" and the "Shadow Void Scripture" within his body to their limits. With a thought, he commanded, "Dual Domains, open!"
The Chaos Green Lotus showered down billions of blue rays, brimming with vitality and purifying all evil;
The Eternal Night Monarch emanates endless shadows, devouring everything and controlling nothingness.
Two completely different Domain Prototype instantly overlapped, with cyan and black intertwining to form a unique Chaos Eternal Night Domain, which actually withstood the distorted spatial power!
