Profound Technique Battle

"Nice work, old Luo."

From the spectator stands, Zeng Shan brought his hands to his mouth and whistled, cheering him on.

"That guy Luo is even stronger than when we were in the Forbidden Zone."

"He knocked everyone else off the stage in one go."

"Haha, falling off the stage means you lose."

"What a clean win."

Zeng Shan got excited and couldn't stop talking.

Beside him, Li Bohang, tall and with a clean-cut face, adjusted his glasses and said, "He hasn't won yet, look, there's still one left."

Zeng Shan froze for a moment and scanned the stage.

On the stage, which was now only a third of its original size, he couldn't see anyone else besides Luo Yan.

However, he noticed Luo Yan looking towards the left side of the stage.

Zeng Shan followed his gaze and only then discovered a black rope tied to a steel bar at the edge of the stage.

Then, someone jumped up.

It was the second-year student, Wu Tiejun!

Wu Tiejun had reacted quickly. The moment he sensed the stage about to collapse, he swiftly formed a hand seal and used Profound Technique No. 1, 'Black Rope'.

At the critical moment, he used it to grab onto a steel bar and swing himself to safety, thus not falling off the stage.

Luo Yan slightly narrowed his eyes and quietly activated his 'Obstacle Breaking Dharma Eye'.

He looked.

Around Wu Tiejun's biological gray light, red light was vibrant, and yellow light was bright.

His Qi and blood value was 451, and his Essence Energy was 120 Jun.

His Qi and blood value was high because Wu Tiejun's Visualization Technique was already Primary Level Five, and his body had been tempered by Essence Energy.

His Essence Energy was at the Primary Level Two level.

Every second-year student participating in the competition wore a bracelet on their hand.

That was an Essence Energy suppression device.

It could suppress Essence Energy to a certain value.

For fairness's sake.

Their Essence Energy was all suppressed to the 120 Jun mark.

This way, the gap with the first-year students wouldn't be too large.

Luo Yan was also wearing one.

He was a bit special.

Although he was a first-year student.

He was already Primary Level Four.

His Qi and blood value was 572, and if his Essence Energy wasn't suppressed, it would reach 196 Jun.

So he also wore a suppression device, controlling his Essence Energy at 120 Jun.

And after that burst of power just now, his Essence Energy was only 70 Jun.

However, because of Observing Mountains and Seas, his Essence Energy would slowly recover.

Now.

Only Wu Tiejun remained on the stage.

Luo Yan stomped his legs hard on the stage surface, and his entire body shot out like a rocket, charging towards Wu Tiejun.

Wu Tiejun held a long metal staff. Originally, he had planned to use the advantage of his long weapon to wear down Luo Yan's stamina and Essence Energy.

But after witnessing Luo Yan's burst of power earlier.

Wu Tiejun recognized a reality.

He couldn't win against Luo Yan in combat techniques.

But he wasn't flustered.

Everyone has their specialties.

During the lectures, the instructor had emphasized more than once.

Whether it's combat techniques or Profound Techniques, one should only have one main focus and one secondary.

Don't try to master both.

Otherwise, you'll spread yourself too thin.

Wu Tiejun disliked close-quarters combat.

Therefore, he chose to major in Profound Techniques.

He would also learn one or two combat skills, just in case.

But now, if he still planned to wear down his opponent in close combat and then use Profound Techniques to decide the winner.

That would be too naive.

Wu Tiejun immediately threw his staff, using it to disrupt Luo Yan.

Then he quickly formed hand seals with both hands.

Finally, he shouted, "Phantom Wolf!"

Specks of bright yellow light danced before him, like brilliant starlight, rapidly condensing into an illusory, non-corporeal wolf beast.

In the audience stands.

He Hao, whose facial features were sharp and whose posture was upright, giving him the air of a tough guy, clicked his tongue and said, "Profound Technique No. 10, Phantom Wolf."

"It possesses independent combat ability, able to attack, defend, entangle, and kite."

"To defeat the caster, you must first kill this troublesome thing."

"That's why I hate people who use Profound Techniques; they don't fight head-on, they just scheme from behind."

Beside him, Su Jiu, chewing on candy, said dismissively, "Do you think everyone is like you, with nothing but muscles in their head?"

"As long as you win, why must you fight head-on?"

He Hao loudly declared, "Fighting head-on is a man's romance, what do you know!"

Su Jiu wasn't angry and blinked her eyes, saying, "Of course I don't know, I'm a woman after all."

On the stage.

Luo Yan had just turned his head to dodge Wu Tiejun's staff when he saw an illusory wolf beast formed from Essence Energy appear before his opponent.

As soon as the wolf beast took shape, it let out a silent roar and pounced towards Luo Yan.

Only a third of the stage remained.

There wasn't much space for Luo Yan to maneuver around the wolf beast.

And Luo Yan's speed wasn't particularly fast.

How could two legs outrun four paws?

He remained expressionless, his speed undiminished, and charged towards the wolf beast without dodging or evading.

His alloy longsword transformed into a bolt of lightning, flashing silver-white as it struck the phantom wolf's head.

The phantom wolf's reaction was not slow; ordinary attacks found it difficult to hit.

But now, Luo Yan had used the combat skill "Startling Thunder."

Nature allowed him to strike true.

The phantom wolf was immediately struck and collapsed to the ground, its silhouette blurring, showing signs of dissipating.

Luo Yan's footsteps didn't stop as he went straight for Wu Tiejun, his metal longsword whistling as it slashed.

Wu Tiejun formed hand seals again.

Essence Energy fluctuations rippled from his body, forming an invisible barrier that collided with Luo Yan's sword.

The two sides' Essence Energy clashed.

A roar echoed across the stage.

The invisible barrier showed several cracks but did not collapse.

Luo Yan closed his eyes slightly.

He knew this Profound Technique too.

Profound Technique No. 5: Empty Wall!

Specializing in defense!

Just then, his shoulder suddenly felt a sharp pain and a heavy pressure.

His gaze shifted downward.

He saw that his left shoulder was firmly bitten by the phantom wolf.

This wolf beast had not collapsed after taking a hit from "Startling Thunder."

As expected of Profound Technique No. 10!

In the audience stands.

Su Jiu said softly, "Your little friend is in trouble."

"Those who are skilled in Profound Techniques are also skilled in strategy."

"Once a battle situation is set, it becomes like a quagmire, making it increasingly difficult for the opponent to extricate themselves."

"Now, Wu Tiejun is using 'Empty Wall' for defense, making it difficult for your little friend to break through and unable to harm him."

"Behind him, there's the 'Phantom Wolf' for interference. Next, he'll probably use Profound Technique No. 3 for further control, then finish it off with Profound Technique No. 7."

He Hao snorted, "He's not my friend."

Then, He Hao stood up and roared, "First-years, take him down!"

On the arena stage.

Luo Yan's eyes narrowed, a fierce glint flashing within them.

He reversed his metal longsword and fiercely thrust it behind him.

The longsword tore through the wolf's body, and the Phantom Wolf finally collapsed.

But the moment the wolf beast collapsed, illusory chains formed from condensed Essence Energy wrapped around Luo Yan's hands and feet.

These Essence Energy chains immediately made it difficult for Luo Yan to move.

Relevant information flashed through Luo Yan's mind.

Profound Technique No. 3: Binding Lock!

Immediately after.

A sharp whistling sound echoed from the stage.

Within the whistling.

Luo Yan's entire body vibrated and swayed, as if being struck by invisible javelins, and dots of blood rapidly appeared on his body.

And these bloodstains gradually expanded.

Profound Technique No. 7: Wind Spear!
