Will You Continue?

Qin Ming had already noticed the faint trace of admiration in Yu Tianheng's gaze as he looked at Lin Hao.

Clearly, the strength Lin Hao had displayed had shocked Yu Tianheng.

Yu Tianheng, who had always wanted to rely on external forces to obtain the sect master's seat, had taken an interest in Lin Hao.

Lin Hao said quietly, "Do you think I'm doing this merely to vent my anger? They have a very serious bad habit!"

A bad habit?

Qin Ming was taken aback. He seemed to understand what Lin Hao meant.

Lin Hao said, "The seven of you can attack together. In a one-on-one fight, none of you can possibly be my match!"

Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, Shi Mo, Shi Mo, Yu Feng, and Osler exchanged looks, silent understanding passing through their eyes.

Then, five of the seven—Yu Tianheng, Shi Mo, Shi Mo, Yu Feng, and Osler—surrounded Lin Hao.

Every one of the seven had the standard Martial Soul configuration: yellow, yellow, purple.

"Let me go first!" As Shi Mo spoke, the third Spirit Ring beneath his feet lit up. The turtle shell behind him spun at high speed as it shot toward Lin Hao.

First Spirit Skill: Mountain Moving!

The first Spirit Ring beneath Lin Hao's feet lit up. Immediately afterward, a mountain-like barrier enveloped him.

The rapidly spinning turtle shell could not cut through Lin Hao's barrier, instead throwing off dazzling sparks.

Lin Hao said, "There was a reason the academy's higher-ups told you to leave. How is my defensive Spirit Skill?"

Shi Mo refused to accept it and snapped, "What use is defense alone!"

"Can I really only defend?" Lin Hao smiled and waved his hand, sending out a yellow talisman.

Shi Mo instinctively dodged.

However, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling behind him suffered instead.

The yellow talisman transformed into a mountain, trapping Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan within it.

Shi Mo was speechless. "You're also a Control System Spirit Master?"

Lin Hao smiled. "Is control all I have?"

First Spirit Skill: Mountain Moving!

Then Lin Hao waved his hand again.

A yellow talisman shot forth, forming a gigantic mountain dozens of meters tall that crashed down toward Yu Tianheng and the others.

"Watch out!" Yu Tianheng shouted urgently, quickly activating his third Spirit Ring.

Third Spirit Skill: Thunder Fury!

First Spirit Skill: Thunder Dragon Claw!

Yu Tianheng condensed a Thunder Dragon Claw and struck at Lin Hao. The air twisted violently in its wake, erupting with a terrifying crackle.

When the dragon claw landed on the mountain-like protective barrier, the barrier merely trembled slightly.

Yu Tianheng's heart sank. He had already used his true strength, yet he still could not shake Lin Hao's barrier.

This was the gap in the purity of their Soul Power and the total age of their Spirit Rings.

The Shi Mo brothers could not evade in time and were struck by the earlier Mountain Moving attack. They struggled to resist, yet still said defiantly, "What kind of hero hides inside a barrier!"

Lin Hao could not help laughing.

The barrier was one of Lin Hao's Spirit Skills to begin with. There was nothing wrong with staying inside it.

"Fine... then I won't use this Spirit Skill!" With a wave of his hand, Lin Hao dismissed all three Mountain Moving skills.

At his current strength, Lin Hao could only summon three mountains at once.

"Arrogant!" Yu Tianheng burned with rage and charged at Lin Hao.

To Yu Tianheng, Lin Hao's concession was an insult.

Second Spirit Skill: Thunderbolt!

In an instant, the countless serpentine bolts of lightning coiling around Yu Tianheng's body expanded at the same time, transforming into innumerable lightning arrows that flashed out in every direction.

Second Spirit Skill: Sea Overturning!

Lin Hao waved his hand, and the blue talisman in his palm bloomed with light. As it flew through the air, it transformed into three waves that surged toward Yu Tianheng.

The tyrannical current pierced through the first wave, but vanished upon touching the second.

However, water conducted electricity.

The roaring waves broke through the current and swallowed Yu Tianheng whole.

Ah!

Yu Tianheng's pained cry came from within the waves.

When the waves receded, arcs of electricity still flickered across Yu Tianheng's body as he lay injured on the ground.

Uh!

The thrilling battle left everyone clicking their tongues in amazement.

No one had expected Yu Tianheng to intend to electrocute someone else, only to be injured by his own lightning.

Leopard Shadow Triplication!

Osler split into three, and three Ghost Leopards attacked Lin Hao from the front, left, and right.

Flying Catkin Movement Technique!

Lin Hao moved. Layered afterimages trailed behind him as he rushed straight at Osler. When he met the Ghost Leopard ahead of him head-on, he tapped the ground with his toes, leaped into the air, stepped on the Ghost Leopard's head, and traced an arc through the air as he punched Osler.

With a bang, Osler was sent flying by the punch, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

Lin Hao smiled. "Will you continue?"

Wind Rising Cloud Surging!

Yu Feng, whose Martial Soul was the Wind Bell Bird, spun at incredible speed, forming a tornado that swept toward Lin Hao.

Layer upon layer of wind blades filled the tornado, granting it immense cutting power. Anyone caught inside would very likely be shredded to pieces.

A faint smile rested on Lin Hao's lips. "Cloud Mist Wind Dragon!"

Before everyone's eyes, Lin Hao spun rapidly in place. The wind-element energy around him was drawn along, forming a tornado centered on him as well.

However, unlike Yu Feng's tornado, Lin Hao's was extraordinarily fast and twisted into the shape of a dragon.

Roar!

With a dragon's cry, the wind dragon opened its enormous jaws and devoured the tornado Yu Feng had created.

Ah!

Yu Feng's scream came from inside the tornado.

Once the Soul Fighting Platform had become calm again, Yu Feng's clothes were in tatters, and his exposed skin was covered in countless cuts. It was as though innumerable blades had sliced through his flesh, yet none of the wounds were fatal.

Lin Hao looked at Yu Feng and smiled. "In my eyes, your tornado is nothing more than a little sparrow. You may refuse to accept it—I welcome you to challenge me again! As for the rest of you, does anyone still want to fight?"

"Don't be so arrogant!" Dugu Yan snapped in humiliation and anger.

Nothing angered her more than seeing her boyfriend, Yu Tianheng, injured, especially after hearing Lin Hao's arrogant words.

She was furious!

The third Spirit Ring beneath her feet lit up.

Qin Ming was frightened by Dugu Yan and hurriedly shouted, "Yan Yan, don't act rashly!"

Third Spirit Skill: Jade Phosphorus Purple Poison!

Dugu Yan's emerald eyes completely turned purple, and the jade-green scales on her snake tail became coated in a faint purple glow.

She spat out a thick cloud of purple mist that spread through the air as it attacked Lin Hao.

The poisonous mist carried a nauseatingly fishy stench that made anyone who smelled it want to vomit and left their head spinning. Even the slightest contact with the purple mist would turn someone into pus and kill them within moments.

Lin Hao remained calm as the third Spirit Ring beneath his feet lit up.

Third Spirit Skill: Demon Subduing!

The Jade Phosphorous Serpent was also a demon.

The moment the golden talisman came into contact with the purple poison mist, its purifying effect produced remarkable results.

Like winter snow beneath the sun, the purple poison mist was swiftly purified into nothingness. A large hole melted through it, and when the remaining mist fell to the ground, it caused Lin Hao no interference whatsoever.

Dugu Yan stared in disbelief. Her third Spirit Skill, which had never failed her, had actually been ignored.

Lin Hao asked with a smile, "Will you continue?"
