Heaven Slashing Sword Technique, Defeating Dai Mubai

"You are strong, I must admit that."

Dai Mubai was filled with shock as he faced Ye Lin's charge head-on, yet he did not show the slightest hint of panic. If a dignified Soul Elder only had this much to offer, he wouldn't be worthy of the title.

Furthermore, He hadn't even used his third spirit skill yet!

His third Spirit Ring flickered, and a purple light ignited instantly. A thunderous roar erupted from Dai Mubai's body.

His eyes suddenly turned blood-red, and his muscles bulged rapidly, becoming incredibly exaggerated. His white shirt was torn apart, revealing skin patterned with black and white tiger stripes.

A murderous aura spread rapidly.

"Third spirit skill, White Tiger Vajra Transformation!"

Dai Mubai's ten tiger claws turned a bright, silvery color, resembling refined steel.

He crossed his hands, blocking with his tiger claws in front of him.

"Clang!"

Ye Lin's sword struck directly against the tiger claws.

The powerful shockwave caused her baseball jacket to flutter violently backward.

Dai Mubai thrust his hands upward, sending Ye Lin flying.

Her body soared backward. She tensed her calf muscles and drove her Immortal Sword into the ground, carving a trench several meters long before she finally managed to stabilize herself.

The soles of her white sneakers were worn completely flat.

Ye Lin pushed off with her Immortal Sword and stood up once more.

"I have to admit, your sword's attack power is very strong."

Dai Mubai slowly stepped forward two paces.

"But the gap between our spirit power and Spirit Rings is too great."

"Moreover, my third Spirit Ring is a thousand-year Spirit Ring, which can significantly increase my attack and defense."

"And the third spirit skill can last for half an hour."

He glanced at the incense stick Zhao Wuji had planted; it had only burned halfway through.

"With half the time remaining, how will you resist?"

Zhao Wuji also watched Ye Lin with a sense of anticipation.

Ye Lin's performance clearly showed she hadn't given up; on the contrary, her fighting spirit remained high.

Even if Ye Lin didn't last the full duration of the incense stick, Zhao Wuji wouldn't refuse her entry. If he let a monster like this walk away, it would be a loss for Shrek Academy.

"Sister Lin,"

Xiao Wu felt a wave of worry for Ye Lin. "If we can't join, let's just leave. Don't get yourself hurt."

The others couldn't help but swallow hard, casting doubt on their own chances of joining Shrek Academy.

If someone as strong as Ye Lin couldn't last the duration of the incense stick and pass the practical exam, Then it was even more impossible for them to last that long, let alone pass the fourth trial.

"I still have one move I haven't used. I wonder if you can block it."

Ye Lin suddenly shifted the Immortal Sword from her right hand to her left, holding it in a reverse grip. It didn't look like she was holding a sword, but rather gripping a scabbard.

This action left the others completely bewildered; no one could figure out what Ye Lin intended to do.

Not even Xiao Wu, who had spent every day with Ye Lin for the past six years.

Zhao Wuji also watched with interest to see what Ye Lin would do next. He truly couldn't imagine what other abilities she possessed.

In all his years at Shrek Academy, this was the first time he had encountered someone so interesting.

Ye Lin's right hand slowly gripped the hilt of the sword at her left side.

Zhao Wuji's expression instantly shifted; he stared fixedly at Ye Lin's right wrist as a powerful aura began to radiate rapidly from it.

The gazes of Xiao Wu and the others froze, and they felt as if breathing had become difficult.

What on earth was this!

Ye Lin's right hand suddenly clamped onto the sword hilt, and a black radiance erupted outward.

She stomped her left foot, creating a deep crater in the ground, and assumed a drawing stance.

"Self-created soul skill, Heaven Slashing Sword Technique!"

Her right hand swiftly drew the Immortal Sword.

Head up, sword drawn!

Heaven Slashing Sword Technique!

A clear sound like metal striking stone rang out, filled with a biting sword intent.

The stunning sword light was like a flash of brilliance erupting in the dark of night, as if it intended to cleave the very heavens in two with a single strike.

This strike had not a shred of flashiness, only the ultimate act of slashing.

As the sword emerged, it slashed the heavens and decided the victor!

The Heaven Slashing Sword Technique descended heavily toward Dai Mubai.

"How is this possible!"

Dai Mubai widened his eyes, staring at the scene before him in disbelief.

Was this the kind of strength a Spirit Grand Master with only one Spirit Ring could unleash?

He had assumed he would be the one suppressing Ye Lin, forcing her to hold out for the duration of an incense stick, so why did it seem like the plot wasn't unfolding that way?

Did it seem like the one taking the beating was actually him?

A dignified Soul Elder being beaten by a Spirit Grand Master—who would believe that if word got out?

Dai Mubai's first Spirit Ring flashed again, and milky-white spirit power transformed into a light shield to block his front.

But without the slightest surprise, the Immortal Sword shattered it upon contact.

Dai Mubai's steel-like tiger claws collided with the longsword.

An incredibly powerful shockwave rapidly expanded outward, causing the robes of Xiao Wu and the others to rustle loudly and their figures to become somewhat unsteady.

The only one present who could stand firmly in place as if nothing had happened was Zhao Wuji.

"Bang!"

Dai Mubai's steel-like claws were severed; they simply could not withstand the sharpness of the Immortal Sword in Ye Lin's hand.

So what if he was a Soul Elder? Although Ye Lin appeared to be only level twenty, that was merely because she hadn't absorbed her Spirit Rings; she hadn't stopped cultivating for a single moment over the past six years, and her true spirit power had long since exceeded level thirty.

He had a thousand-year Spirit Ring, and so did Ye Lin, not to mention the Heaven Slashing Sword Technique.

This was a divine skill she had spent ten thousand points to exchange for.

The Immortal Sword swished through, passing Dai Mubai's hands and stopping at his throat.

If Ye Lin were to exert even the slightest bit of force, Dai Mubai would be decapitated.

Dai Mubai swallowed hard, deactivated his Martial Soul Avatar, and muttered, "I lost."

He found it hard to believe what had just happened—he had actually been defeated by someone eighteen levels below him.

Ye Lin smiled slightly as the Immortal Sword in her hand transformed into spirit power and merged back into her body, then she looked at Zhao Wuji, "Teacher Zhao, does this count as me passing the test?"

"Passed, you passed,"

"Hahaha," Zhao Wuji laughed heartily, "What a little monster,"

"To think you could actually create your own spirit skill."

"Oscar, get over here!"

He shouted toward the back.

"Coming, coming!"

The bearded Oscar quickly ran over from the distance.

"Wow!"

"Four great beauties!"

Oscar swallowed hard, his eyes scanning Ye Lin and the other three.

"Do you want to die?"

Ye Lin swept a cold glance at Oscar.

A look of disdain appeared on Oscar's face, "Tch, let me tell you, do you know that my big brother is Dai Mubai?"

"You want to bully me? You'll have to get past my big brother first at the very least,"

"Right, Boss?"

He looked at Dai Mubai with a grin, but noticed that Dai Mubai's expression was rather strange.

"Boss Dai, what's wrong with you?"

Ye Lin raised an eyebrow at Dai Mubai, faint spirit power condensing on her right hand, "You're his big brother?"
