537 Takes Action I

Thunder King Sect and Myriad Stars Tower together occupied most of the courtyard area, and the remaining area was constantly being cleared of outsiders by their sent cleaners. The so-called small area left out was actually more for the two sides to fight in.

When Lin Hui arrived at his teacher's place, a large number of fellow disciples had already gathered there.

At a glance, there were at least tens of thousands of fellow disciples, each sparring and exchanging blows.

Inside the hall, the body of Teacher Junchen Primordial Lord was magnified to a level exceeding that of a Palace Master.

She was floating behind her, talking to another woman in a golden robe who was about the same age as her.

The other disciples, who were sparring in pairs, resembled swarms of flies, constantly flashing their lights in the air in front of the two.

A tall man with skin as white as snow was assigning sparring partners to each arriving cultivator.

As soon as Lin Hui entered, he received a telepathic message and was assigned to a corner in the air to the right of Junchen Primordial Lord, to fight a woman in a short green dress. "The winner advances to the next round, and the top three winners will receive twenty strands of Yuan Qi and a top-tier secret technique personally taught by their teacher," the fair-skinned man transmitted. Lin Hui glanced at the woman in the golden robe next to Junchen Primordial Lord and recognized her as Four Seasons Primordial Lord, who was also Dinisha's teacher.

The two seemed to know each other very well.

He originally thought that since he had received such high praise from Junchen Primordial Lord, he would receive special treatment.

But now it seems that he doesn't really care about the potential of these three so-called geniuses.

At least she doesn't care about Dinisha as much as the Four Seasons Primordial Lord.

"Junior brother, may we begin?" the woman in green asked, bowing respectfully.

"I am still a novice, please be merciful, senior sister." Lin Hui turned his gaze back and bowed to the other party.

"Junior brother is too modest." The woman in green smiled and suddenly pointed in this direction.

A flash of green lightning suddenly struck Lin Hui Lin Hui's chest before he could react.

This familiar attack method immediately reminded Lin Hui of the Cleaners' modus operandi.

It seems to be a fixed cultivation method of the Thunder King Sect.

For a large and complex group like the Fusionist, it's quite normal for their cultivation techniques and secret methods to be so numerous and varied.

Even if a sect like the Thunder King Sect has a very strong inherited cultivation method, it's impossible for every Fusionist to immediately switch to it. Therefore, when facing opponents in sparring, they experience a sense of unfamiliarity, as if they were fighting against other forces or systems.

But the woman opposite her was different.

Lin Hui activated his Microflash technique, his figure flashing several times, but each time he was struck by the opponent's finger techniques before they could even be used.

After dodging and weaving for a few seconds, Lin Hui simply stopped dodging and charged forward.

The Great Yin Yang Time Reversal Sword Technique was suddenly unleashed.

Similarly, the finger is used to represent a sword.

Swish!

The massive, golden-red Time String flashed and disappeared in an instant.

Hundreds of protective magical rays instantly erupted from the woman in green.

Yet it still couldn't withstand the domineering power of the Great Yin Yang Time Reversal Sword Technique.

This sword technique doesn't follow the principle of cause and effect first, so its accuracy is definitely inferior to the opponent's, but its destructive power far surpasses it. After all, it was a top-tier sword technique used by those madmen back then. With Lin Hui's current level of ability, a casual sword strike can display a portion of the prowess of those avengers from back then.

Extreme speed and destruction—this terrifying destructive power summoned by abandoning everything instantly shredded the green-clad woman's clothes, severing her limbs along with them, and her torso gradually began to disintegrate into particles of Wind Disaster.

In the end, only a head remained, floating in mid-air.

"Thank you for the compliment." Lin Hui bowed his head.

The woman sighed, and her body rapidly reassembled from the head down.

"Junior brother's strength is extraordinary, I admire you greatly. I humbly admit defeat."

"Lin Chengdao advances, next." The white-skinned man's voice came directly.

Before Lin Hui could catch his breath, the image of the woman opposite him flashed and was replaced by a burly, tall, and strong man.

The burly man's head was shaped like a flat axilla, and he held a large hammer in each hand.

"Greetings, fellow disciple. I am Three Peach Daoist."

"Lin Chengdao," Lin Hui returned the greeting.

The two stopped wasting words. Both were at the material level, and their main competition was in practical combat techniques, skills, and combat experience and wisdom.

Clang!

The two figures appeared in the next instant and collided head-on.

After Lin Hui's body merged with the Dao, Wind Energy became him, and he was Wind Energy.

At this point, exerting force at will represents the most extreme level of force output at this energy level.

With a loud bang, the opponent was slammed away.

The immense explosive force instantly broke and bent the opponent's arms backward, leaving him with a muffled groan, powerless to resist.

"I surrender! I surrender!" the burly man quickly transmitted his voice.

Lin Hui showcased his speed in the first match.

This is the second demonstration of power.

He himself is not sure what level he is at among his peers. This exchange is a good opportunity for him to reassess himself.

The true level of the techniques evolved from the Blood Seal will be fully revealed this time.

"Next." The fair-skinned man changed opponents again.

Sparks instantly appeared on Lin Hui's body. This time, someone had launched a sneak attack, using the same preemptive strike pattern as before. There was no way to dodge it.

But it didn't work.

His body is currently protected by Surrounding Wind, and within it, it has been forged and tempered by Wind Energy, with Immortal Fire strengthening his long-burning, indestructible body. The intensity of the Wind Energy already far exceeds the Disaster Energy that ordinary fusion rules can control. This causes the intensity of the Surrounding Wind to greatly exceed the limit.

This defensive effect, which appears to be ordinary Disaster Energy on the outside but is entirely powered by Wind Energy inside, requires any opponent to unleash an extremely terrifying attack in an instant to break through it.

Because there was no benchmark for comparing the required attack power, Lin Hui was never very clear about it.

But now.

As one opponent after another was eliminated in front of him, he gradually gained a clearer understanding of his own position.

This applies to both the power of Wind Energy and its current energy level.

Boom!!

Another new competitor.

A slender female duck dressed in a black bodysuit.

Yes, the other party has a graceful human female figure, but her head is a white duck head with a serious expression.

They claimed to be from the Duck Immortal Clan and launched a fierce and relentless attack on Lin Hui right from the start.

The first few opponents were all probing attacks, which Lin Hui easily dealt with.

This person had clearly observed for a while and gained some understanding, so he immediately used the most materialistic attack method: matter condensation!

The large amount of shimmering white, unknown substance was a temporary tactic conjured by the opponent targeting Lin Hui.

At this moment, it was like an ocean, completely surrounding Lin Hui from Four Faces, from every possible angle of dodging.

They resembled white bubbles and condensed extremely quickly, demonstrating that this woman from the Duck Immortal Clan was indeed quite powerful.

but..

Lin Hui reached out and grabbed.

The white foam substance that was supposed to target him decomposed and dissipated instantly, just like real foam.

"I concede!" The woman from the Duck Immortal Clan's eyes darkened as she looked at the black foam that had suddenly appeared before her, knowing she had no chance of winning. This black foam was the unknown substance that Lin Hui had condensed using the same method to target her.

"You flatter me." Lin Hui withdrew his attack, smiled, and clasped his hands in a fist salute.

"You're very strong. Many people have already noticed you. Be careful," the woman with the duck-shaped haircut earnestly warned.

Thank you.

Lin Hui nodded.

This is the level of materialization.

If a mistake is made in the condensation of matter, the initiative is instantly lost. When the opponent counters, it will be too late to retaliate.

Only when one has a thorough understanding of the opponent's weaknesses can one concentrate targeted materials as a decisive blow to secure victory.

Simply put, it's somewhat similar to Lin Hui accumulating lifelines; you first need to use other methods to test and understand your opponent.

Once a certain level is reached and the opponent's general weaknesses are identified, then resources are concentrated to target them.

The woman with the duck-head hairstyle made a mistake in thinking that Lin Hui's weakness was actually not a weakness. After losing the initiative, she was instantly killed.

In reality, her energy level was the same as Lin Hui's on the surface; even if her cultivation technique was inferior, it shouldn't be this weak.

It was simply a strategic error that caused them to lose even faster than the people before them.

Next opponent.

One after another, Lin Hui either relied on absolute power to counterattack and instantly kill his opponents, or used his unparalleled speed to instantly slay them with the Great Yin Yang Time Reversal Sword Technique. Speed and power, combined with an exaggerated defense enhanced by Wind Energy.

Now, having suppressed his energy level, he is virtually invincible within the materialized energy level.

Time slowly passed.

Soon, fewer and fewer fellow disciples were still fighting around them.

In the entire vast hall, only three pairs remained fighting.

These last six people were the six strongest disciples of Junchen Primordial Lord.

Lin Hui was among them.

He was now facing a purple-armored man wielding a long spear.

The man's spear was more than ten times his own length, and the two fought at roughly the same speed.

There were almost no complete human figures in the space, only countless dense blue lights that lit up and then went out.

Each of these points of light was a tiny spark produced by the clash of the two swords and spears during their battle.

The golden-red Time String kept lighting up and then going out.

The phantom of a purple phoenix would occasionally appear and soar, only to vanish in an instant.

This is the closest Lin Hui has encountered to his level since arriving at the Thunder King Sect, without using the Origin Scene Sword Canon's life-line attack.

His opponent also possessed extremely strong defensive techniques, was just as fast, and had a formidable spear.

It is clearly an invincible and all-around opponent.

The two fought for another ten minutes or so, still neck and neck, with any minor injuries healing instantly. If this continued, they would either have to use their trump cards or it would be a matter of who could outlast the other.

Although Lin Hui did not use the Wind Righteous Seal, the Devil Incense, his Dharma Body, or his Fate Line, his opponent had clearly held back a great deal.

"Enough." The fair-skinned man's voice reached their hearts.

Lin Hui and the man with the long spear stopped fighting at the same time and bowed slightly to each other.

Lin Chengdao.

Guo Yuxiao.

After calling out their names, the two flew to a corner as directed by the fair-skinned man and waited quietly.

Soon, the other two pairs were decided, with the winners being a man and a woman.

The man was handsome and dashing, his purple robe gleaming with lightning patterns, and he introduced himself as Thunder Jade Daoist.

The woman possessed a delicate and fragile air; her blue dress was so light it seemed weightless, as thin as a cicada's wing. Every movement she made exuded a powerful and alluring charm.

He identified himself as Shang Qijiu.

The former possessed an incredibly exaggerated defense, standing motionless and allowing the opponent to launch a full-scale attack, forcing the opponent to admit defeat simply by using its counterattacks. The latter was covered in deadly poison, weakening the opponent while also skillfully using poison to strengthen itself. It had been progressing smoothly until it encountered a junior sister skilled in medicine. The two fought for a long time, one releasing poison and the other providing antidote, until the opponent finally admitted defeat and withdrew, citing the exhaustion of its soul.

For materialized energy levels, whether it's releasing poison or detoxifying, any substance can be condensed and released infinitely at any time.

The only limitation is the soul.
