Seven Men Launch a Frantic Assault While I Sleep, and the Audience Sends Slacking Value Through the Roof?!

The golden Qilin -patterned chairs gleamed in the sunlight.

Lin Ciyan leaned back in his chair, his eyes closed, his breathing even as if he were truly asleep.

The morning breeze ruffled his short, golden-white hair, and on his handsome sixteen-year-old face, there wasn't a single taut muscle.

The seven people from the Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy were frozen ten meters away from the barrier.

The captain's face was contorted.

"This is outrageous... this is outrageous!"

He jerked his head up, his eyes bloodshot. "Everyone! Give me... break this damn thing!"

Five four-ring spirit rings and two three-ring spirit rings—a total of twenty-seven Soul Ring —lit up simultaneously at that moment!

Yellow and purple lights intertwined, and the fluctuations in Soul Power surged instantly.

The fact that Tianling Academy was able to make it into the main competition shows that their strength is by no means weak.

The captain is a level 47 Power Attack System Battle Soul Ancestor, Martial Soul " Earth-Splitting Bear " has shattered the shields of countless defensive-type Soul Master in previous competitions.

"Third Soul Skill - Earth-Splitting Heavy Hammer!" the captain roared.

His arm muscles bulged, and a yellowish-brown light condensed into a giant bear paw phantom with a diameter of over two meters.

With a dull thud, it slammed into that invisible barrier!

boom!

At the moment of impact, a shockwave rippled outwards.

But the once imposing bear paw, upon entering a ten-meter radius, melted and disintegrated rapidly from the edge, like ice falling into boiling water.

In less than a second, it completely turned into specks of light, which scattered into the air.

It didn't even cause a ripple.

"Impossible!" the captain exclaimed, his eyes wide.

Almost simultaneously, the attacks from the other six arrived.

Flaming spears, frost arrow rain, vortex of wind blades, strangling vines, rock spikes, mental shock...

Six different elemental Soul Skill bombarded the arena from various angles, their light illuminating the stage in a dazzling array of colors.

Gasps of surprise erupted from the audience.

However...

Every attack, the moment it touched that invisible boundary, was as if it had crashed into a wall of absolute rules.

The flames died down, the frost melted, the wind blades dissipated, the vines withered, the rocks shattered, and the spiritual energy vanished like a mud ox entering the sea.

Silently.

Lin Ciyan even adjusted his posture to make himself more comfortable.

[Ding! Detected that the host, under the watchful eyes of 200,000 people at the competition venue, has Relaxation Domain that has caused widespread shock and cognitive upheaval.]

[ Slacking Value +1000!]

A cheerful system notification sounded in my mind.

Lin Ciyan's heart stirred slightly.

As expected, with a large audience base, the critical hit multiplier remains.

"Continue!" Captain Tianling gritted his teeth. "I don't believe this barrier has no limit! Everyone, keep firing!"

The seven frantically channeled their Soul Power, and a second round of attacks followed.

This time, they changed their strategy.

Instead of pursuing single-hit power, the goal is to release low-cost Soul Skill at the fastest possible frequency.

Fireballs, ice spikes, and wind blades rained down like a storm, bombarding the barrier relentlessly.

Bang bang bang bang...!

The continuous muffled thuds echoed across the competition stage.

Lin Ciyan didn't even lift his eyelids.

[ Slacking Value +1000!]

[ Slacking Value +1200!]

The system notification indicated that the screen was starting to refresh.

At the same time, a pale gold, semi-transparent progress bar quietly appeared in the corner of his field of vision.

[Achievement: " Absolute Leisure Under the Gaze of Ten Thousand "]

[Current progress: 12%]

oh?

Lin Ciyan became interested.

There were hidden achievements too.

On the field, the seven students from the Tianling Academy were already red-eyed.

"Fourth Soul Skill - Berserk Bear Rage!"

The captain's fourth Soul Ring shone brightly with purple light, and his body swelled up a size.

He charged forward again, accompanied by a wave of earthy yellow energy, striking repeatedly with both palms!

The other six followed suit, each unleashing their strongest Soul Skill.

Flames transformed into a giant bird swooping down, frost condensed into a Entanglement python, and wind blades converged into a tornado sweeping across...

The entire front half of the arena was completely engulfed by the light of the Soul Skill.

Two hundred thousand spectators held their breath.

On the city wall, Xu Jiawei placed his hands on the battlements and leaned forward slightly.

His eyes gleamed with golden light, clearly he was probing.

A few seconds later, he slowly exhaled, a complex expression on his face.

"Your Majesty?" the eunuch beside him asked cautiously.

"That barrier..." Xu Jiawei said in a low voice, "Is not Soul Skill."

"What?"

"I don't know either." Star Luo Emperor slowly shook his head. "It's more like any attack with Soul Power lower than his... will be weakened."

The eunuch gasped.

In a secluded VIP box in the audience, the curtains were slightly drawn back.

She stood by the window for Xu Jiujiu, her slender and graceful figure outlined in a light gold dress.

She rested her chin on her hand, watching the figure on the stage leaning back in the chair "sleeping," and a smile unconsciously crept onto her lips.

"Still so playful..."

She murmured softly, her eyes shimmering with tenderness.

The contestant area, specifically the area of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy.

Xiao Hongchen's face was ashen, his hands clenched into fists, his nails almost digging into his flesh.

"Playing tricks..." he said through gritted teeth.

"It must be some kind of high-level Soul Guidance Barrier! When did Shrek start relying on external objects?"

Ma Rulong frowned. "Unlike Soul Tool... there's no energy leakage, it's too clean."

"Could it be a special Soul Bone Skill?" Meng Hongchen suddenly asked.

Everyone looked at her.

Her long, wine-red hair cascaded down her shoulders, and her icy blue eyes were fixed intently on the competition stage.

Today she was wearing the white team uniform with gold trim from the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy. The fitted cut accentuated her slender waist and long, straight legs.

"He's wearing down his opponent," Meng Hongchen said in a cold voice.

"Seemingly passive, but actually using the least effort to make Tianling Academy exhaust its Soul Power. Very clever... and also arrogant."

When she said "arrogance," there was no disdain in her eyes; instead, a strange light flashed within them.

On the playing field, the attacks continued.

The seven students from the Tianling Academy were already panting heavily.

The high-frequency output lasting for three minutes consumed a huge amount of Soul Power.

The two members of the Third Ring team turned pale, and their speed in releasing their Soul Skill noticeably slowed down.

[ Slacking Value +1000!]

[Achievement Progress: 47%]

Lin Ciyan even felt like yawning.

He secretly separated a wisp of his consciousness and entered the Five Elements Divine Light Inner World.

Inside the space, Snow Empress was sitting cross-legged by the Ice Spring, cultivating. Her silver-haired, blue-eyed girl form was so cute that one wanted to pinch her cheeks.

Ice Empress leaned against a distant ice pillar, arms crossed, a disdainful look on their cold, beautiful face.

"Those ants outside are making a terrible racket," Ice Empress sneered.

Snow Empress opened her eyes, and her ethereal voice rang out. "Do you need me to go out and freeze them?"

"No need." Lin Ciyan's consciousness smiled. "We can win just by lying down, why bother with physical force?"

Xiyao's luminous shadow drifted over and affectionately nuzzled against him. "Master is the best~"

Outside, Captain Tianling's eyes were bloodshot.

"Everyone! Take the pills!"

The seven of them simultaneously took out recovery pills and swallowed them, causing their Soul Power fluctuations to surge once again.

They changed tactics, abandoning long-range bombardment and instead attempting close-range attacks!

"Charge in! That barrier only works on external Soul Power; we'll break through with our physical bodies!" the captain roared.

The seven people scattered and rushed towards the golden seat from seven directions simultaneously!

The first step into the ten-meter range, nothing happened.

The second step went smoothly.

Step 3...

Wild joy erupted in the eyes of the seven!

As expected! This barrier only absorbs Soul Power attacks, it doesn't block physical objects!

They accelerated their sprint, gathering their Soul Power in their fists and feet, preparing to launch Thunderbolt Strike the instant they closed in.

Five meters, three meters, one meter...

The captain, who was charging at the front, had already raised his bear paw, aiming straight for Lin Ciyan's face!

At that very moment.

Buzz...!

On the seat, the golden Soul Power that flowed naturally around Lin Ciyan suddenly glowed slightly.

It wasn't actively activated; it was merely the natural aura emanating from the Martial Soul, rippling outwards like waves on water.

The three leading figures, including the captain, seemed to have crashed into an invisible wall of air.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The three of them were sent flying backwards, crashing heavily seven or eight meters away.

The other four people stopped in shock.

They finally saw it clearly.

It wasn't a barrier blocking things, but rather a layer of golden Soul Power, as thin as a cicada's wing, that always enveloped Lin Ciyan's body.
