"What?!" Osler was shocked. This was not the slowly Entanglement Blue Silver Grass he remembered at all! This sharp sword energy and swift thrust were even more cunning than some sword-type Martial Soul attacks!
In the critical moment, he demonstrated his adaptability as a key member of the Imperial Fighting Team. He forcibly twisted his body, his Second Soul Ring lit up, a flash of black light appeared on his body, and his speed increased again. He narrowly avoided being cut by most of the grass leaves, but his sleeves were still torn in several places.
He lightly touched the ground with his toes and quickly retreated, putting distance between himself and Lin Yan, his face filled with astonishment and uncertainty. "Your Blue Silver Grass... how could it..."
Lin Yan did not pursue, but merely manipulated the sharp blades of grass to sway slowly in front of him, like loyal guards. "My Blue Silver Grass is rather special."
The expressions of Yu Tianheng, the Shi Brothers, and others watching from the sidelines also turned solemn. A true expert's skill is immediately apparent. Lin Yan's attack just now, in terms of speed, precision, and ferocity, was far beyond what ordinary Control System Soul Master could achieve! This wasn't just Blue Silver Grass; it was clearly an extremely rare Mutated Martial Soul with both powerful offensive and control attributes!
"You've got some skill!" Osler abandoned his last bit of disdain, his eyes becoming incredibly serious. "Looks like I have no choice but to get serious!"
His Third Soul Ring, that deep Purple Soul Ring, suddenly shone brightly!
" Third Soul Skill, Netherworld Hundred Rends!"
Osler's figure blurred instantly, as if transforming into dozens or even hundreds of black leopard shadows, simultaneously pouncing on Lin Yan from all directions! Each leopard shadow carried a sharp claw strike, making it difficult to distinguish between reality and illusion, dazzling the eyes and leaving nowhere to hide! This was his strongest group attack Soul Skill, with speed and attack power reaching their peak!
Faced with this overwhelming offensive, Lin Yan finally moved. His footwork shifted, his figure became elusive, and at the same time, his Second Soul Ring lit up.
No longer a single-direction thrust, countless Blue Silver Grass shimmering with azure-gold luster burst forth in all directions from Lin Yan's body like a peacock spreading its tail! These grass leaves were no longer simple straight thrusts, but rather seemed to possess life, intertwining, cutting, and piercing in the air, forming an impenetrable sword-leaf domain!
Sizzle sizzle sizzle--!
The dense cutting sounds rang out continuously. The leopard shadows that Osler conjured were shredded and annihilated like bubbles the moment they came into contact with this sword-leaf domain! His true body was forced to constantly flash, desperately dodging the omnipresent sharp grass leaves. His swift speed seemed somewhat inadequate in the face of the omnipresent "control"!
"Such powerful area control!" Yu Tianheng couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice. He could see that Lin Yan's control over the Blue Silver Grass had reached a very subtle level. Not only was the attack power strong and the coverage area wide, but the consumption of Soul Power also seemed to be controlled extremely well.
The Shi Brothers exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes. If they activated the Black Tortoise defense, they would naturally not fear such a cutting attack, but being restricted in their movements by such a wide-range attack would be extremely troublesome for Defense System Soul Master like them.
Ye Lingling loosened her clenched hands slightly, her eyes revealing pride and peace of mind.
Dugu Yan crossed her arms smugly, as if she were the one who had displayed great power in the arena.
On the field, Osler grew increasingly alarmed. His speed advantage was diminished to a minimum by Lin Yan's precise control, which seemed to predict all his movements, and the ubiquitous sharp blades of grass. His prized attacks couldn't even get close, and he himself was nearly injured by those elusive blades of grass several times.
Unable to break through after a prolonged attack, Osler grew impatient. Seizing an opportunity, he activated his First Soul Ring, attempting to forcefully break through a seemingly weak grass barrier and directly attack Lin Yan's body!
However, just as he was about to break through, the thousand-year-old Purple Soul Ring beneath Lin Yan's feet lit up for the first time.
Third Soul Skill - Blue Silver Sword Leaf!
In an instant, a cyan-gold storm seemed to sweep across the training ground! All the Blue Silver Grass instantly retracted, then spun and clashed wildly around Lin Yan! Sharp sword energy overflowed, cutting the air with a hissing sound! Its power far surpassed that of the previous two Soul Skill!
Osler felt an irresistible tearing force and sharp energy rushing towards him, as if all his escape routes were blocked, and the core of the storm carried a deadly danger! He had no doubt that if he were caught in it, he would be seriously injured instantly!
"I surrender!" Osler shouted without hesitation, retreating rapidly and exiting the battle circle. He looked at the slowly subsiding storm of sword leaves with lingering fear, cold sweat beading on his forehead.
As the storm subsided, Lin Yan stood with his hands behind his back, the Blue Silver Grass floating around him quietly retracting as if they had never appeared. His breathing was steady, as if he had just done something insignificant.
"You flatter me, Senior Osler."
The training ground was completely silent.
Everyone was stunned by Lin Yan's powerful Third Soul Skill. The power of that storm definitely reached the level of a top-tier Power Attack System Soul Skill! A Control System Soul Master actually possessed such formidable frontal attack capabilities!
Yu Tianheng took a deep breath and was the first to clap. Immediately afterward, the Shi Brothers, Ning Rongrong, and even the somewhat disheveled Osler all clapped their hands in sincere admiration.
Applause echoed across the training field.
A satisfied smile appeared on Teacher Qin Ming's face. He walked to the center of the arena, patted Lin Yan on the shoulder, and then looked at all the members of the Imperial Fighting Team: "Now, does anyone still question Lin Yan's qualifications to join the team?"
Yu Tianheng stepped forward, looking intently at Lin Yan, and extended his hand. "Welcome to the Imperial Fighting Team, Lin Yan! I am the captain, Yu Tianheng."
Osler also came over, somewhat annoyed but mostly impressed. "Kid, oh no, Lin Yan, you're amazing! I'm impressed! I was blind just now."
Shi Mo smiled honestly and said, "What a strong control. We will fight side by side from now on."
The Shi Mo nodded in agreement.
Although Ye Lingling didn't speak, her gaze towards Lin Yan was filled with tenderness and pride.
Lin Yan responded to each of them, and finally his gaze met Ye Lingling's. The two smiled at each other, everything understood without words.
Looking at the group of energetic young people before him, Qin Ming was filled with anticipation. With the addition of Lin Yan, a powerful Control System Soul Master, the Imperial Fighting Team's lineup would become even more perfect. Control, offense, defense, agility, and support—every position had been greatly enhanced, leaving virtually no weaknesses.
"Alright!" Qin Ming announced loudly, "From today onwards, Lin Yan officially becomes a member of the Imperial Fighting Team! Everyone, seize the time to train and practice together. We have only one goal in participating in the Continental Elite Tournament of Advanced Soul Master Academy— "
The crowd exchanged smiles and shouted in unison, "Champion!"
A loud voice echoed through the training ground, announcing the official start of the new generation of Imperial Fighting Team's journey.
