"Huh?"
Chen Lingxi activated a skyful of Falling Thunder Talismans at once, displaying powerful lightning arts comparable to a Foundation Establishment lightning cultivator's. The candidates cried out in astonishment. They had thought Lin Jing was surely finished, but who knew the Spirit Beast he summoned would build a defensive fortress in an instant?
Had that been all, people would merely have thought Lin Jing's Spirit Beast had powerful attainments in wood arts and could quickly deploy defensive wood arts. With the precedent of the Pineleaf Squirrel fighting a Foundation Establishment wood cultivator above its level, that seemed acceptable-but against this skyful of lightning arts, wasn't this defensive spell's protection far too terrifying? It hadn't suffered so much as a scratch!
"How is that possible!"
Even Wang Xiao, who possessed the Heavenly God Body, looked baffled. The lightning generated by so many Falling Thunder Talismans already surpassed the thunderbolts he could summon with his Heavenly God Body!
Yet this wood had blocked it with ease?
"It's a seal!" Most candidates hadn't discerned anything, but some cultivators with advanced cultivation immediately frowned, spotting a clue.

That way, unless the enemy broke the seal, they could forget about hurting him.
Who said seals could
