He first unleashed his fifth soul skill. Its critical-hit stacks had currently accumulated to eleven, granting a full 198% critical-hit chance.
He then activated his third soul skill, guaranteeing a critical hit while adding another 150% critical damage on top of the fifth soul skill.
Tainuo and the people around them saw five absurdly powerful soul rings suddenly appear beneath Lu Mingchuan's feet—purple, black, black, black, and red. Then, as his third and fifth soul rings flashed, an oppressive aura began radiating from him.
That pressure made the surrounding students struggle to breathe. Alarm bells suddenly rang in Tai Tan's heart as well, but there was no turning back once the arrow was on the string.
There was no way to simply stop now. Besides, he had already offended Lu Mingchuan. Who could guarantee that, once Lu Mingchuan grew stronger, he would not seek trouble with his clan?
Thus, his only option was to continue fighting and try to kill Lu Mingchuan for a slim chance at survival.
Yet, as he looked at the azure light arrow on Lu Mingchuan's bow, a bitter smile tugged at his lips. Killing Lu Mingchuan sounded easy enough, but when one stood before that blue greatbow with a light arrow aimed at them, they would understand just how difficult it was.
He could already sense that something unseen had locked onto him. Under that lock, he could not even move, much less kill his opponent.
Still, he was the clan leader of the Strength Clan. Since he could not move, he would stand where he was and defend with all his strength. That arrow was terrifyingly powerful and would surely consume a great deal of Soul Power. Once he successfully blocked it, Lu Mingchuan would be little more than meat on the chopping block.
