Mo Shiyu was slightly surprised.

This was the first time someone had struck Xia Yuan through the Limitless Technique.

Her delicate brows furrowed slightly as she began analyzing it.

If the Superpowered Boy's ability was merely invisible force, then logically, it should not have been able to cross the infinite distance either.

It was probably not that simple...

This seemingly invisible superpower was likely a miraculous force that acted directly upon its target.

That was why it had bypassed Xia Yuan's Limitless.

Seeing that Xia Yuan, the god of slaughter, had finally been hit, the audience erupted in startled cries:

"Holy shit, it finally landed!"

"The Demon King finally took a hit! That was not easy!"

"As expected of an SR! He broke Abyss God's strange defense!"

"..."

The Contract Spirits below the stage felt even more satisfied, eagerly hoping Xia Yuan would continue suffering setbacks—or even be defeated by Han Guang's Contract Spirit team!

Xia Yuan grinned. "My turn."

His figure abruptly vanished from where he stood.

The Superpowered Boy's pupils shrank. In the blink of an eye, Xia Yuan had already appeared in front of him, one palm pressed toward his stomach!

He seemed to have anticipated Xia Yuan's move. With a sweep of both hands, he activated his superpower again, applying an invisible repulsive force to himself.

Xia Yuan's hand stopped in midair. Their forces clashed invisibly in the air, sending waves of pressure rolling outward.

The Superpowered Boy sneered:

"I watched your videos. I knew you would use this kind of move to get close!"

After repelling Xia Yuan, he shouted again and controlled Xia Yuan, smashing him toward the ground.

However, because of the Limitless Technique, the ground could not harm Xia Yuan. His falling motion came to an abrupt halt, as though all kinetic energy had vanished in an instant.

"Cursed Technique Reversal."

"Cursed Technique: Blue!"

Maintaining his suspended posture, Xia Yuan activated his cursed technique.

A blue orb of attraction slammed toward the Superpowered Boy.

The Superpowered Boy thrust both hands forward, activating his superpower again in an attempt to stop the blue orb of attraction. But the immense force made his arms tremble.

Knowing he could not block it head-on, he gritted his teeth and flipped both hands upward, redirecting Cursed Technique: Blue with minimal effort toward the sky!

"Didn't work!"

The Superpowered Boy spat a curse. After dealing with Cursed Technique: Blue, he looked back at Xia Yuan, only to find him gone.

His eyes darted rapidly, yet Xia Yuan was nowhere within his field of vision.

The Superpowered Boy suddenly spun around and unleashed his power in advance. "Behind me!"

His superpower struck the air behind him, but Xia Yuan was still nowhere to be seen.

Just as he froze in confusion, Xia Yuan hovered above his head, already holding his fingers in a pistol shape as he fired a shot of Cursed Technique: Red!

The female Contract Spirit he called Shadow Sister hurriedly shouted a warning:

"BOY! Above you!"

But it was already too late for him to react.

Xia Yuan's calm voice rang out:

"Cursed Technique Reversal."

"Cursed Technique: Red!"

The Superpowered Boy's hair stood on end. At the fastest speed possible, he formed a defensive stance with his superpower.

But the red Cursed Technique: Red was already nearly pressed against the top of his head.

A powerful repulsive force erupted. Red light blossomed above the Superpowered Boy's head, like Mount Tai bearing down upon him!

The high-quality alloy floor beneath his feet was crushed into a massive depression, and he curled up within it as well.

Xia Yuan landed leisurely and raised an eyebrow. "Oh? Not bad. You held up."

He had only used less than thirty percent of his strength, but enduring that at such close range was still impressive.

Inside the crater, the Superpowered Boy struggled to rise. His doll-like dress had been torn to shreds in several places.

He was covered in blood and looked utterly miserable.

The fierce battle between the two had the audience boiling with excitement:

"Oohhhh, that was awesome! This ticket was totally worth it!"

"This is what a truly powerful Contract Spirit battle looks like! It's insane!"

"The Contract Spirit Arena is supposed to be made from the toughest material, and they dented it like that?!"

"Abyss God still looks like he's just playing around. He hasn't even used his full strength, while Superpowered Boy already seems unable to hold on. Guess he's still not good enough!"

"Still, being able to withstand that absurd attack is already incredibly impressive!"

"..."

Han Guang frowned deeply. He could already tell that Xia Yuan had not gotten serious at all, while their main damage dealer was already unable to keep up.

If their damage dealer went down, winning would be impossible.

So he shouted toward the arena:

"Boy, stop being stubborn. Give up fighting alone. The three of you together are strongest!"

The Superpowered Boy glared at Xia Yuan through gritted teeth. He knew perfectly well that if this continued, he would lose!

Though unwilling, he still gave up for the sake of the bigger picture...

Xia Yuan seized the chance and entered taunt mode:

"What's wrong? That's all you've got? Who was the one saying he'd solo-kill me just now..."

"Your daddy says one little thing, and you obediently listen?"

"What a shame. I was only just warming up."

"Still, as a warm-up opponent, you barely pass..."

The Superpowered Boy froze in place, veins bulging on his forehead as he immediately turned around to resume fighting.

But Shadow Sister stopped him from behind. He could only retort furiously:

"What do you know? If this arena weren't limiting me, I guarantee I'd beat you until you cried for your parents!"

"You clearly used a cheap trick to hit me just now! If you've got the guts, fight me head-on!"

Xia Yuan looked at the hysterical Superpowered Boy and shook his head.

"Alright, alright."

"I get it. You win."

"Don't cry, little guy. The hardest thing about you is your mouth. If you had used your mouth to block my technique just now, maybe you really could have stopped it!"

The Superpowered Boy was driven mad with rage, his face burning red.

The entire audience did not know whether to laugh or cry.

Xia Yuan's mouth was like it had been dipped in poison. If he licked it himself, he would probably die from poisoning...

It was hard to believe someone with such a rotten personality could be such a powerful SSR!

The Holy Light Knight rested her chin on her hand, looking speechless. "Is Xia Yuan a little brat too? He keeps trading insults with the other side. So boring..."

Mo Cheng glanced at her. You're clearly a little loli yourself...

The Holy Light Knight suddenly became serious. "Old man, who do you think would win if I fought Xia Yuan?"

Mo Cheng thought for a moment. "If you have a way to break that strange defense around him, it would be fifty-fifty."

The Holy Light Knight smiled. "I would win."

The blazing sun hung high in the sky.

It was noon. More than half of the selection tournament had already passed.

After Han Guang's Contract Spirit team challenged Xia Yuan, the other Contract Spirits finally dared to take the opportunity to step onto the stage. The ten arenas became lively again.

However, nearly everyone's attention remained focused on the strongest battle.

Who would become the number one seed of North Sichuan Spirit Contract Master Academy? The answer was about to be revealed!

"Xia Yuan!"

The Superpowered Boy continued arrogantly:

"If my combat power is one, then the combat power of the three of us together is six!"

"This time, you will definitely lose!"

The woman in the black skintight outfit looked at Xia Yuan with a sweet smile. "We're even wearing matching couple outfits, both dressed in black. I hope you'll go easy on us, handsome."

Xia Yuan picked at his ear with a finger and glanced at the Contract Spirits on the surrounding arenas, who had begun brawling again. "Alright, I'm done playing with you. My time is valuable—I still need to keep sweeping the arenas."

He took off his sunglasses and casually tossed them into Mo Shiyu's hands. His azure eyes looked at the three opponents with faint excitement, and the corners of his lips rose.

"If my combat power is one, then when I fought you just now, it was only 0.3!"

In an instant, the full display of his handsome face drew endless screams from the women in the crowd!

Xia Yuan with sunglasses and Xia Yuan without them gave off completely different levels of pressure.

Even the Superpowered Boy, who had been talking tough all along, turned solemn at that moment.

Mo Shiyu sensed the spiritual energy within her body. She still had half remaining, which was more than enough.

Moreover, the End of Time Inscription Set on Xia Yuan could still be activated once, providing him with nearly another half of his spiritual energy!

The corners of her lips unconsciously curved upward as well.

She was determined to claim the number one seed position of North Sichuan Spirit Contract Master Academy!
