Ling Luochеn: Will there be more perks like this? (Combined chapter)

The battle was gaining momentum.

With Lu Cheng, a fire-attribute archer whose Fire of Essence Sun surpasses even the Ultimate Fire, leading the charge, and aided by his Blood Pupils' precise targeting, their deterrent power is truly terrifying.

After all, no one wants to be defeated by an unpredictable crimson arrow while they are engaged in a fierce battle with their opponent.

He stood there, not concealing himself.

But the overwhelming sense of intimidation sent chills down Dai Yueheng and the others' spines, making them stiffen in their movements.

And ever since the three arrows shot Chen Zifeng out of the Soul Fighting Zone arena.

After that Ma Xiaotao's team became lively.

Lu Cheng's Fire of Essence Sun pressed down on Ling Luochеn, causing him to be covered in sweat and unable to lift his head. Not to mention the terrifying burst damage of the arrows, which would be disastrous for anyone who landed on them.

The battle quickly came to an end.

It can hardly be described as a closely contested match.

It can only be described as a crushing defeat for Dai Yueheng's side.

"Huff, huff..." Dai Yueheng was covered in sweat, leaning on his knees, looking at Lu Cheng in the distance with disbelief.

From beginning to end, he felt only a deep sense of suffocation and powerlessness. No matter how hard he tried, it was as if he had fallen into a huge net.

The way Ma Xiaotao fought on the other side, and the teamwork of the many members, didn't seem like a first-time collaboration at all! It was more like there was an invisible hand behind the scenes, meticulously connecting all the team members like puppets on strings.

Of course, there was also that incredibly handsome young man carrying a bow and arrow. Hidden arrows were hard to defend against, and it was the first time they had experienced the oppressive feeling emanating from a distant Martial Soul.

"Clap clap clap~!"

Xuan Zi lazily clapped his hands, signaling everyone to gather together.

"You've all witnessed how formidable this kid is, haven't you?" He glanced indifferently at Dai Yueheng and the many inner court disciples, a mocking smile on his face.

"An existence even more terrifying than the Ultimate Fire, the Sun-Shooting Bow, is indeed a top-tier Martial Soul I have never seen before... Impressive." Dai Yueheng exhaled a long breath and nodded slightly.

Gongyang Mo and the others nodded in agreement, their eyes now filled with respect and a sense of recognition between powerful beings (monsters) as they looked at Lu Cheng.

"Hahahaha..." Xuan Zi laughed loudly, but shook his head. "You haven't even figured out this kid's Martial Soul. You should know that in this competition, he hasn't even used 30% of his strength, no, 10%."

"What?!" Dai Yueheng was stunned, his face filled with disbelief.

With just one tenth of the power mentioned by Xuan Zi, he had already forced Chen Zifeng, out of the arena with three arrows, and had also suppressed Ling Luochеn from beginning to end.

They were sweating profusely from the beating, and yet... he was still hiding?!

The eyes of many disciples, both from the inner and outer academies, were either subtly or intensely fixed on the "protagonist" mentioned by Xuan Zi.

Lu Cheng's expression was normal, with a warm smile on his lips.

"He only forced Chen Zifeng back and suppressed Ling Luochеn, but with Gongyang Mo as a strong support, and Xiaotao having to call upon her Martial Soul Avatar, you should have been able to hold out for at least a while, but..."

"Kid, show them your true strength."

"Okay." Lu Cheng smiled.

He pressed two fingers together against his brow, and his eyes gradually turned crimson. Immediately, everyone felt a jolt of energy, and their vision instantly rose to a higher dimension, as if they were God, looking down on everyone around them.

In this almost supernatural state, they can even accurately predict and capture the next move of the people around them, thus preparing in advance.

No wonder!!!

Dai Yueheng, Chen Zifeng, and the others' expressions suddenly changed.

No wonder the other side was like an invisible net, slowly devouring and swallowing them up, their coordination leaving no flaws. It turns out someone was manipulating everything behind the scenes!

There is a unified "mastermind".

In other words...

Were they using some kind of cheat code when they were playing against them?

"This is simply... insane." Dai Yueheng was shocked, and a hint of fear appeared in his eyes as he looked at Lu Cheng.

With this mastermind in place, every attack by the enemy was well-organized and perfectly timed, while their own attacks felt like hitting cotton – powerless and hopeless.

"So... he was secretly manipulating the game while simultaneously firing three arrows at me and knocking me off the stage?" Chen Zifeng's eyes twitched as he discovered the key point.

"Not bad," Xuan Zi said leisurely.

After this reconciliation...

No wonder they were like people stuck in a quagmire, struggling with every step.

"This time, I want Lu Cheng!" Dai Yueheng said with a smile.

"Hmph, then I'll have to use my Martial Soul Avatar." Ma Xiaotao stretched her neck, somewhat dissatisfied that Lu Cheng had been taken away from her, but there was nothing she could do about it.

"Can."

Just as Dai Yueheng was smiling and thinking that Ma Xiaotao was just talking nonsense, after all, her seventh Soul Ring was a genuine 100,000 years old, Xuan Zi took a sip of wine and nodded slightly.

You can use your full strength.

Dai Yueheng: "..."

Do I feel like I've been looked down upon?

The second match was just as exciting.

"I'd like to try the Ultimate Ice, is that alright?" Ling Luochеn stood beside Lu Cheng, a look of longing in her beautiful eyes, and whispered as she bit her red lips.

"... nature."

Lu Cheng paused for a moment, then nodded with a smile.

"Thank you." Ling Luochеn nodded slightly, then took Lu Cheng's hand directly with her snow-white hand.

Soft yet cool.

"..." Lu Cheng was taken aback. Feeling the Ultimate Ice, was it really necessary to touch skin to skin?

This aloof senior from the inner academy wasn't like this at all in his memory.

Meanwhile, Dai Yueheng, drenched in cold sweat from Ma Xiaotao's relentless attacks, shouted to his rear, "Luochеn! Ice Armor! Cover my retreat!"

"Okay!" Ling Luochеn quickly replied, then looked expectantly at Lu Cheng beside her.

The latter gently squeezed the beauty's soft hand, a smile curving his lips. Then, the extreme cold energy within his body suddenly flowed through his palm and into the beauty's body, revealing a sublimation originating from the ice attribute.

Ah~

Ling Luochеn's eyes were closed, and her face was flushed.

The exhilarating feeling brought about by the sublimation of her Martial Soul was something she experienced for the first time in her life. The Ultimate Ice was a realm that all ice-attribute Martial Soul owners yearned to reach their entire lives.

Now, the experience alone is enough to captivate her and make her unable to extricate herself.

He lightly grasped a pale blue staff in his hand, and a huge snowflake pattern condensed under his feet. The temperature in the entire Soul Fighting Zone suddenly dropped to below zero degrees Celsius, and a thin layer of frost covered the ground, the seats below the stage, and even the eyebrows and beards of the people in the arena.

"Ice Extreme Divine Armor!!" (Ice Armor Protection)

As the beautiful woman on the field gave a soft shout, a Yellow Soul Ring rose from beneath her feet, covering everyone present with a layer of transparent, ice-crystal-like armor.

With the brief advancement of the Martial Soul, even the name of the Soul Skill changed.

At the same time, another black Soul Ring rose from beneath his feet.

"The Extreme Ice Ring!"

Ling Luochеn's eyes were as aloof as a winter plum blossom. He lightly tapped his long staff, and the chill condensed into ice, imprisoning Ma Xiaotao and the others in the distance within an ice cage.

Of those present, only Ma Xiaotao managed to escape the ice cage by exhaling the breath of the phoenix and using her superior strength to melt it. The others, however, were a different story.

For the first time, everyone directly experienced just how exaggerated the boost that Ultimate Attribute could provide to a Soul Master was.

Ling Luochеn's original ice element strength was definitely not weak, but compared to now... it's like he's a completely different person.

"..."

"Huff~"

With a gentle shake from Lu Cheng, the latter reluctantly let go, and Ling Luochеn exhaled a breath of icy mist from her red lips, her beautiful eyes filled with lingering affection and reluctance.

You have to try it to know how it feels.

She is a very pure person, and her life goal is to become stronger. The Ultimate Ice has an irresistible charm.

It really is addictive.

The outcome was naturally a victory for Dai Yueheng's side.

Lu Cheng and Ling Luochеn joined forces and managed to suppress Ma Xiaotao's Divine Phoenix Fire for a short time by using their Ultimate Ice attributes.

Ice counters fire.

The Divine Phoenix Fire is an advanced version of the Evil Fire Phoenix, but ultimately it still falls into the category of Ultimate Fire, far inferior to the Fire of Essence Sun.

Therefore, it will still be temporarily suppressed by the Ultimate Ice.

However, Ma Xiaotao still didn't use her Martial Soul Avatar, perhaps because she was afraid of hurting Lu Cheng.

"Alright, that concludes today's special training."

Xuan Zi waved his hand impatiently.

"You can adjust things yourselves from now on; I'm not going to play house with you anymore."

After saying that, he hummed a little tune and walked out. "With this lineup, they could win the championship even if they played with their feet. Special training... Hmph, it's completely unnecessary."

"Brother Lu Cheng, I apologize on behalf of my brother." Dai Yueheng's tone was exceptionally sincere. "I already taught that little bastard a lesson yesterday, and told him to avoid you from now on."

"Hehe, I'm a very magnanimous person, I certainly won't take this to heart, Senior Dai can rest assured." Lu Cheng smiled brightly.

Dai Yueheng's eyes twitched.

If he hadn't seen his brother's miserable state yesterday, he probably would have believed that nonsense.

"Junior Brother Lu Cheng, our teamwork seems to have some flaws. How about we go to the training ground and practice for a while..." Ling Luochеn walked over with her long, beautiful legs and said in a calm tone.

However, her usually aloof face now showed some shyness and unease.

"Hmm..."

Lu Cheng hesitated for a moment, but did not agree immediately. Instead, he glanced meaningfully at the leg band tied around Jiang Nannan's legs. The leg band gently sank into the soft flesh of her fair and slender thighs, making her look particularly alluring.

"Sister can do it too!" Ling Luochеn bit her red lips lightly, as if she had made a decision.

"It's a deal!" Lu Cheng said with a smile.

"..." Ling Luochеn gave Lu Cheng a slightly coquettish look, then turned and left.

Lu Cheng was exceptionally diligent during the intensive training sessions that followed.

After all, he had a shy and charming senior with leg shackles by his side, and his girlfriends made up more than half of the team.

They could be considered a reserve team in name only.

In reality, they were his harem.

He also knew that Zhang Lexuan was staying at Shrek temporarily, which must have been because Mu En noticed something was wrong. But it didn't matter. As long as they waited until the Ming Dou Mountain Range and Xuan Zi's outrageous actions were revealed, Mu En would have no reason to hold Zhang Lexuan back anymore.

It can only be said that when it comes to disappointing people, our Xuan Zi never disappoints.

Time flies.

Two months have passed in a flash.

With everyone working together and improving their teamwork, things gradually got on track.

Lu Cheng's relationship with many inner court disciples was not bad. After all, Lu Cheng had never had any ill feelings towards these energetic disciples who were on the front line of the Inspection Corps, because these young people were really risking their lives to kill Evil Soul Master. They were the generation of Shrek that still retained a sense of justice.

He neither disliked Mu En nor hated Yan Shaozhe.

To put it bluntly, these guys have all been driven to where they are today by the Shrek Academy's so-called reputation.

The only thing he hated was the old system of "Shrek" that bound countless people.

Today is the day we set off.
