Genius Sees Me, Like a Flickering Candle Peering at the Scorching Sun, a Mayfly Seeing the Blue 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 a feeling of extreme danger.
Every strike from the lad before him was fast, accurate, and ruthless.
In contrast, every move he made seemed to be anticipated by the boy in advance.
What exactly has this kid done? Why can he predict the location of my attacks every single time?
Bai Jiaming stared fixedly at Ye Ruilin, who was hidden behind the flames.
He had been pushed to the end of his rope, yet his opponent had stood safely within the fire from beginning to end.
The boy's fire control was the most shocking and impressive he had ever seen.
This kid doesn't just possess the Fire Qilin; his other martial soul hasn't even been used yet.
Ning Xiaoxian watched Ye Ruilin in shock.
To achieve such a feat with just one martial soul.
If both martial souls were unleashed simultaneously, how terrifying would this youth's strength be?
"Second Soul Skill, Lingguang Sword Qi!"
Gritting his teeth, Bai Jiaming unleashed his second soul skill directly.
The Streamer Sword in his hand emitted a sharp sword qi, and the surrounding flames seemed to be sliced apart by the biting energy.
Several fierce streaks of sword qi then shot out, attacking Ye Ruilin from different angles.
This was the strongest killing move he could execute at his current stage.
Ordinary peers would be completely unable to withstand such terrifying sword qi.
Having unleashed multiple streaks of sword qi in succession, Bai Jiaming couldn't help but gasp for breath.
These streaks of sword qi blocked all of Ye Ruilin's retreat paths from every direction.
Now, there was nowhere left for him to retreat.
The boy only had his first soul skill, and the Fire Qilin was too far away to return in time for rescue.
This kid is done for!
The corners of Bai Jiaming's mouth curled up, and a smile flashed in his eyes.
"It's time for this match to end."
Standing up from the ground, the youth casually brushed the dust off his white robe, looking smug.
Watching the sword qi that had sealed off all his escape routes, Ye Ruilin's reaction remained calm.
"Auspicious White Qilin, possess."
A layer of holy white light enveloped Ye Ruilin, and his sensory perception was instantly amplified.
A profound and mysterious feeling washed over him, making Ye Ruilin feel as though everything in the world was destined, yet there was always a glimmer of hope.
Ye Ruilin understood that with the Auspicious White Qilin possessing him, his innate intuition would instantly elevate to the ability to seek good fortune and avoid disaster.
Now, any decision he made by following his heart would be the optimal choice.
Thinking of this, he lifted his leg and walked forward.
As he walked, a cloud of silver-white flames instantly shrouded his body, and his eyes turned golden in the blink of an eye, looking incredibly sacred! Qilin horns appeared on his head, dragon patterns extended to his forehead, and white scales faintly emerged on his skin, shimmering with a cold light.
With just a single step forward, two streaks of sword qi brushed past his shoulders.
Amidst such a tight blockade, he had found the only path to survival in a single step.
As the sword qi passed by, the warning instinct on his body vanished instantly, and Ye Ruilin's eyes brightened.
This ability was truly unexpected and shocking.
This scene left everyone present stunned.
They had originally expected to see Ye Ruilin covered in heavy wounds and blood.
They never imagined that this kid would break such a terrifying move within a few breaths.
"He—he just walked out like that?"
"Am I seeing things?"
"Senior Brother Bai's soul skill isn't supposed to have this effect!"
"..."
Bai Jiaming stood there frozen, his eyes filled with confusion and shock.
He truly could not understand how Ye Ruilin had walked out of his killing move.
Looking at the white-robed youth stunned in place, a smile appeared on Ye Ruilin's face.
"I forgot to tell you, my martial soul is the Auspicious White Qilin, which naturally carries the power of auspiciousness."
"Even if your killing blow offers a slim chance of survival, I can still find that single path to life."
"Do you still wish to strike? Your only trump card is already gone."
His gaze fell upon Bai Jiaming.
Though the look was light and airy, it made Bai Jiaming instantly feel an unprecedented pressure.
He was clearly just an ordinary youth, yet he exuded an air of mystery and terror.
"I concede."
Bai Jiaming gritted his teeth and finally gave up.
Ye Ruilin nodded, and with a wave of his hand, he withdrew the flames filling the sky, causing his Qilin Martial Soul to vanish along with them.
"Wow, Ye Ruilin, you are truly amazing!"
Ye Xiaoxian ran up to him, her eyes filled with adoration as she looked at him.
"Senior Brother Bai and Senior Brother Wang are among the few geniuses we have in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
"To think you defeated them so easily with only level 12 soul power!"
"You are too strong!"
Ning Xiaoxian shook her head in admiration.
"For a genius to behold me is like a flickering candle peering at the blazing sun, or a mayfly gazing upon the vast blue sky."
Ye Ruilin chuckled.
The words, spoken in such a calm tone, struck the ears of those present like a thunderclap.
Ning Tianlong, who had been standing to the side, was stunned for a moment before bursting into hearty laughter.
"As expected of a young friend; at such a tender age, you possess such a sharp edge. Not bad, not bad at all."
The more he looked at Ye Ruilin now, the more satisfied he became.
On the pavilion balcony.
"For a genius to behold me is like a flickering candle peering at the blazing sun, or a mayfly gazing upon the vast blue sky!"
"This kid is truly arrogant."
Sword Douluo muttered, then shook his head with a smile.
He had seen countless geniuses, and many were incredibly flamboyant, but this was the only one who was this brazen.
"Wow, so cool, what he said is so impressive."
Ning Rongrong covered her small face, her cheeks flushed crimson.
The power of Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo might not have made much of an impression on her.
But Ye Ruilin was her age, and by comparison, she was instantly filled with admiration.
"Alright, put away that lovesick look."
Ning Fengzhi tapped Ning Rongrong's forehead, looking as if he couldn't bear to watch.
Ning Rongrong stuck out her tongue and quickly hugged Ning Fengzhi's arm.
"Daddy, hurry up and make him my study companion."
"I didn't want one before, but if it's him, then I do!"
"Go on, I beg you, Daddy~"
Ning Rongrong began to act spoiled again.
"Alright, alright, I have already sent someone to invite him. Whether he agrees or not, that depends on him."
Ning Fengzhi smiled helplessly.
Seeing her father agree, Ning Rongrong playfully hid behind Ning Fengzhi's back.
In the distance.
Having finished the match, Ye Ruilin was just about to leave with Ning Tianlong when he received Ning Fengzhi's invitation.
Ning Tianlong had not expected the Sect Master to have watched the competition.
He then spoke with a smile.
"Young friend, you are in luck. Perhaps the Sect Master saw that match just now and was moved by a desire to cherish talent."
"If you are willing, you could become a study companion to the daughter of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Sect Master."
"The wealth of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is known throughout the world; this position of study companion is a good opportunity."
Ning Tianlong urged him.
Ye Ruilin nodded, waved goodbye to the old man, and turned to leave.
Long before he had made his move, he had vaguely guessed that Ning Fengzhi would be watching.
This guy is a bona fide daughter-obsessed father.
Once it involves Ning Rongrong, he is bound to be cautious, and then cautious again.
As Ning Rongrong's study companion, one would have to stay by her side for a very long time.
How could he not be prudent when selecting such a person?
He only showed off a little bit of his skill to impress him.
He had no interest in becoming Ning Rongrong's study companion, but he was quite satisfied with the cultivation environment of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
If possible, he still hoped to be able to cultivate in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect for a period of time.
