Oscar swallowed hard, feeling a bit fearful; usually, when the dean said things like this, they never ended up with a good outcome.
"Ye Lin,"
Oscar's gaze landed on Ye Lin.
"What you need to do is defeat the six of them. You are not allowed to use your Self-Created Soul Skill, and you must not cause any serious injuries."
"Oh? Is that so?"
"Understood."
Ye Lin suddenly felt a sense of anticipation; she really wanted to test her current strength.
Flender had undoubtedly given her a perfect opportunity.
"Dean, isn't this a bit unfair? There are six of us, and Sister Lin is all alone,"
Xiao Wu spoke up, "Let me go help Sister Lin. We can make it two against five."
Flender refused without a second thought.
"No need. You six had better be careful instead."
"Also, Ye Lin, aside from your Self-Created Soul Skill, you may use all your other abilities."
He tapped his back lightly, "These are all partners you can trust. If you start doubting each other now, it will be easy for rifts to form later on."
Ye Lin looked at Flender with some surprise; she thought she had hidden her strength very well.
Flender smiled slightly, "When the gap in strength is too large, it's not always something you can hide just because you want to."
"You can practice using it in private, and keep it hidden in public."
"Alright, I understand."
Ye Lin nodded, stepped forward a few paces, and turned around.
Two yellow Spirit Rings rose slowly beneath her feet, and her spirit power condensed into an Immortal Sword, which she gripped in her hand.
The other six did not hesitate and quickly summoned their spirits. Oscar rapidly rubbed his hands together to create two Flying Mushroom Sausages, tossing one to Ning Rongrong and holding the other in his left hand.
Flight capability was their greatest means of self-preservation.
As Flender's voice faded, "You may begin now!"
"Seven Treasures turn out glazed, first: Power, second: Speed."
Ning Rongrong's six amplification effects quickly landed on Dai Mubai, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Qing.
She could only amplify three people at most for now.
Dai Mubai attacked from the front, while Xiao Wu and Zhu Qing attacked from the sides.
The three of them rushed toward Ye Lin from three different directions.
"First Spirit Skill, Blade Thrust!"
Ye Lin did not hesitate to activate her first Spirit Ring. A phantom of a dragon head in black, cyan, and white appeared, and her body flashed past Dai Mubai, heading straight for the support-providing Ning Rongrong in the back.
The law of the spirit master world: when facing a spirit master with a Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, prioritize attacking the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda user.
"Sister Lin, hehe, I already expected you would do that."
Oscar chuckled, and he and Ning Rongrong quickly consumed their Flying Mushroom Sausages. Six translucent wings unfolded behind their backs, and they quickly flew into the air.
With Ye Lin's first strike missing, Ma Hongjun, Dai Mubai, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Qing quickly surrounded her from four directions, forming a pincer movement.
"Ye Lin, you've lost. You are very strong, but facing the six of us, it's still not enough."
Watching from the sidelines, Flender's lips curled up slightly, looking forward to Ye Lin's next move.
"White Tiger Intense Light Wave!"
"Phoenix Fire Line!"
The two opened their mouths, and two powerful beam skills shot out, heading straight for Ye Lin.
"Swish!"
Four pairs of two-meter-long wings suddenly unfurled from Ye Lin's back.
With a gentle flap of the Eight God Wings, Ye Lin's body soared into the sky.
Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun's beam skills missed instantly.
"Holy cow!"
Ma Hongjun exclaimed.
"Sister Lin can fly!"
Beneath the four pairs of snowy-white wings, Ye Lin kicked out, knocking the flying Oscar and Ning Rongrong down, which meant they were immediately eliminated from the match.
If it had been a real sword, the two of them would have already lost their lives.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Oscar and Ning Rongrong crashed heavily onto the ground.
"Sister Ye Lin, you really don't show any mercy at all."
"My waist..."
Oscar let out a miserable cry, then gritted his teeth to help Ning Rongrong up. "Rongrong, are you alright?"
In the air, Ye Lin spun her body, her sword blade diving toward the four people on the ground once again.
"Sister Ye Lin, you're so fierce!"
Xiao Wu's slightly resentful voice rang out, her eyes instantly turning pink.
A stunning effect surged toward Ye Lin in an instant.
However, it was of no use at all; after Ye Lin's spiritual power had been elevated, her resistance to such effects had increased significantly.
Seeing that her Charm skill had no effect, Xiao Wu's third Spirit Ring flashed, and she activated Teleportation.
Her body vanished in an instant.
Without a second thought, Ye Lin swung her sword backward in a backhand strike.
As it happened, the strike landed right on Xiao Wu.
Ye Lin used very little spirit power; although it tore through Xiao Wu's clothes and blocked her attack, it did not cause any injury.
"Such strong combat awareness."
Flender, watching from the sidelines, exclaimed in admiration. She had swung her sword behind her instinctively; if it had been anyone else, they would have only been surprised, and by the time they reacted, they would have already lost.
"Xiao Wu, you've lost."
Xiao Wu giggled. "Not necessarily."
"I still have teammates, after all."
On the ground, the two beam skills from Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai surged toward Ye Lin again, while Zhu Zhuqing utilized her powerful leaping ability to pounce upward.
"Second Spirit Skill, Shadow of Black and White!"
Ye Lin's second Spirit Ring flashed.
Without even glancing at them, two identical versions of Ye Lin appeared behind her.
Each one carried the Eight Spider Lances on their back, held an Immortal Sword in their hand, and had two Spirit Rings beneath their feet.
The three Ye Lins were indistinguishable; it was impossible to tell them apart.
"A clone skill!"
Flender was instantly shocked.
The surprises Ye Lin brought were simply too many; an External Spirit Bone, and now a very rare clone skill—and to think this was only her second Spirit Skill!
And in the very next second, the two Ye Lin clones flashed, and two more identical clones were manifested.
"Five Sister Ye Lins? How are we supposed to fight this!"
Ma Hongjun was completely dumbfounded.
The first clones to appear quickly intercepted the pouncing Zhu Zhuqing, while the other three charged directly toward Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun.
"White Tiger Barrier!"
"White Tiger Vajra Transformation!"
Even though he was facing clones, Dai Mubai dared not be careless. He used both of his enhancement-type spirit skills simultaneously, his sharp tiger claws lashing out rapidly.
"Bathing Fire Phoenix!"
Blazing phoenix flames ignited on Ma Hongjun's body.
If one lacked the ability to move freely in the air, they would be a sitting duck, and that was exactly the situation Zhu Zhuqing was in now.
Zhu Zhuqing, caught in the air, could only activate her second spirit skill, Hell Hundred Claws, to clash head-on with Ye Lin.
"Sister Ye Lin, do you have to be like this!"
Ma Hongjun suddenly let out a miserable scream.
Because among the four clones, exactly two were focused on him, and the Immortal Swords in their hands slashed down simultaneously, landing squarely on Ma Hongjun.
