When Geniuses Saw Me, They Were Like Dying Candles Gazing at the Blazing Sun, Mayflies Seeing the Azure Sky
The moment the two Soul Skills erupted, Bai Jiaming's expression turned grave.
He could clearly feel a sense of oppression.
The flames surrounding him gave him an extremely dangerous feeling.
Every move this kid made was fast, precise, and ruthless.
In contrast, it seemed as though every one of his own attacks was predicted in advance.
"What exactly did this kid do? Why can he predict where every one of my attacks will land?"
Bai Jiaming stared fixedly at Ye Ruilin, who was hidden behind the flames.
He had already been forced into a desperate situation, yet his opponent had stood safely within the flames from beginning to end.
This kid's control over fire was the most shocking and admirable he had ever seen.
"This kid possesses more than just the Fire Qilin. His other Martial Soul hasn't even made a move yet."
Ning Xiaoxian looked at Ye Ruilin in shock.
With just one Martial Soul, he could already achieve such a level.
If both Martial Souls attacked at once, just how terrifying would this youth's strength become?
"Second Soul Skill, Lingguang Sword Qi!"
Gritting his teeth, Bai Jiaming directly unleashed his Second Soul Skill.
The Streamer Sword in his hand emitted fierce sword qi, and even the surrounding flames seemed to be sliced apart by its chilling edge.
Several sharp streaks of sword qi then shot forth, attacking Ye Ruilin from different angles.
This was already the strongest killing move he could execute at his current stage.
Ordinary people his age would have no way of withstanding such terrifying sword qi.
After unleashing several streaks of sword qi in succession, Bai Jiaming could not help panting.
The sword qi sealed off Ye Ruilin's retreat from every direction.
Now, he had nowhere left to retreat.
This kid only had his First Soul Skill, and the Fire Qilin was too far away to return in time to save him.
This kid is dead for sure!
A smile curled across Bai Jiaming's lips, and amusement flashed through his eyes.
"This match should be over now."
The youth rose from the ground and casually brushed the dust from his white robes, looking pleased with himself.
Facing the sword qi that had sealed off every possible direction of escape, Ye Ruilin remained remarkably calm.
"Auspicious White Qilin, possess me."
A layer of holy white light enveloped Ye Ruilin, and his senses were instantly amplified.
An indescribably mysterious feeling made Ye Ruilin feel that everything in the world had long been predetermined, yet there was still a sliver of life within it.
Ye Ruilin understood that after the Auspicious Qilin Martial Soul possessed him, his original perception would instantly evolve into the ability to seek fortune and avoid disaster.
Right now, any decision he made by following his heart would be the best possible choice.
With that thought, he lifted his leg and walked forward.
As he walked, silver-white flame clouds instantly enveloped his body, while his eyes turned golden in the blink of an eye, sacred beyond compare! Qilin horns emerged from his head, dragon patterns spread across his forehead, and faint white scales surfaced over his body, glinting with cold light.
With just one step forward, two streaks of sword qi brushed past his shoulders.
Within such a tightly sealed blockade, he had found the only path to survival with a single step.
As the sword qi passed him by, the warning instinct within him vanished at once, and Ye Ruilin's eyes lit up.
This ability was truly unexpected and astonishing.
Everyone present was dumbfounded by this scene.
They had originally thought they would see Ye Ruilin covered in wounds and blood.
Never had they expected this kid to break such a terrifying move within only a few breaths.
"H-He just walked out like that?"
"Am I seeing this right?"
"Senior Brother Bai's Soul Skill isn't supposed to work like this!"
"..."
Bai Jiaming stood there in a daze, his eyes filled with confusion and shock.
He truly could not understand how Ye Ruilin had escaped his killing move.
Seeing the white-robed youth frozen in place, Ye Ruilin smiled.
"I forgot to tell you, my Martial Soul is the Auspicious Qilin, and it is naturally endowed with Auspicious Power."
"Even if your killing move leaves only the faintest chance of survival, I can still find that sole path."
"Are you still going to attack? Your only trump card is already gone."
His gaze fell upon Bai Jiaming.
It was originally a light, casual look, yet it made Bai Jiaming feel an unprecedented pressure.
He was clearly just an ordinary youth, yet he gave off an aura of mystery and terror.
"I concede."
Bai Jiaming gritted his teeth, but ultimately gave up.
Ye Ruilin nodded. With a raised hand, he withdrew the flames filling the sky, and the Qilin Martial Soul vanished along with them.
"Wow, Ye Ruilin, you're really amazing!"
Ye Xiaoxian ran forward, looking at him with admiration in her eyes.
"Senior Brother Bai and Senior Brother Wang are both among the few geniuses of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
"You defeated them so easily despite having only level 12 Soul Power!"
"You're incredible!"
Ning Xiaoxian shook her head in admiration.
"When geniuses see me, they are like dying candles gazing at the blazing sun, mayflies seeing the azure sky."
Ye Ruilin chuckled.
His tone was calm, yet his words fell upon everyone's ears like thunder.
Ning Tianlong, who had been standing nearby all along, froze for a moment before bursting into laughter.
"As expected of my young friend. At such a young age, you already possess such sharpness. Not bad, not bad."
The more he looked at Ye Ruilin now, the more satisfied he became.
On the pavilion viewing platform.
"When geniuses see me, they are like dying candles gazing at the blazing sun, mayflies seeing the azure sky!"
"This kid really is arrogant."
Sword Douluo muttered, then shook his head with an amused smile.
He had seen countless geniuses, and there was no shortage of those who were exceedingly flamboyant, but one this arrogant truly was a first.
"Wow, so handsome. What he said was so impressive."
Ning Rongrong covered her little face, her cheeks flushed red.
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo's strength might not have meant much to her.
But Ye Ruilin was the same age as her. Compared to him, she was instantly filled with admiration.
"Enough, put away that lovestruck look."
Ning Fengzhi tapped Ning Rongrong's forehead in exasperation, looking as though he could not bear to watch any longer.
Ning Rongrong stuck out her tongue and quickly hugged Ning Fengzhi's arm.
"Dad, hurry and make him my study companion."
"I didn't want one before, but if it's him, then I want one!"
"Hurry up, please, Dad~"
Ning Rongrong began acting coquettishly again.
"Alright, alright. I've already sent someone to invite him. Whether he agrees or not still depends on him."
Ning Fengzhi smiled helplessly.
Seeing her father agree, Ning Rongrong immediately hid playfully behind Ning Fengzhi.
In the distance.
After finishing the match, Ye Ruilin had just been about to leave with Ning Tianlong when he received an invitation from Ning Fengzhi.
Ning Tianlong had not expected the Sect Master to have watched the match either.
He immediately spoke with a smile.
"My young friend, you're in luck. Perhaps the Sect Master saw that match and took a liking to your talent."
"If you are willing, you could become the study companion of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Master's daughter."
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's wealth is known throughout the world. Being a study companion is a good opportunity."
Ning Tianlong tried to persuade him.
Ye Ruilin nodded, waved goodbye to the old man, then turned and left.
Even before making his move, he had vaguely guessed that Ning Fengzhi would be watching.
That man was truly devoted to his daughter.
Whenever it involved Ning Rongrong, he would certainly be cautious to the extreme.
As Ning Rongrong's study companion, he would need to remain by her side for a long time.
How could Ning Fengzhi possibly be careless in choosing such a person?
He had acted precisely so he could display a little of his ability before him.
He had no interest in becoming Ning Rongrong's study companion, but he was quite satisfied with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's cultivation environment.
If possible, he still hoped to cultivate at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect for a while.
