What Was That Look of Yours, and What Was That Gaze?
The excruciating pain made her head go numb, and her vision blurred. She struggled to lift her head, her eyes blurry with tears, and looked at Bai Yushan not far away, her eyes filled with confusion and astonishment.
She couldn't understand why, after she had already hurt him by mistake and felt remorse, the other party would retaliate so decisively and fiercely.
Bai Yushan stood still, not taking the opportunity to launch a follow-up attack. He simply frowned, his gaze coldly fixed on Ye Yingluo, who had fallen to the ground in a disheveled state and made no move. His voice was utterly devoid of warmth.
"What do you mean by your appearance? What do you mean by your gaze? What do you mean by those two lines of tears? Can your tears defeat me? Can they uphold the beliefs in your heart?"
Seven's classic quote left Ye Yingluo completely dumbfounded, her mind going blank. She had never seen such a strange opponent before. She had already shown weakness and repented, but the other party showed no sign of stopping, instead becoming even more ruthless.
Seeing the other party's blank and bewildered appearance, Bai Yushan's eyes flashed with impatience, and with a hint of cold anger at their lack of ambition, he shouted in a deep voice.
"Arise! Destroy me!"
A simple sentence, yet it carries an extremely strong sense of pressure.
Ye Yingluo was shocked and felt a strange sense of fear, as if she were being reprimanded by a teacher. Even though the other person was only a nine-year-old freshman, their aura completely overwhelmed her. She subconsciously suppressed the intense pain in her body, wiped the blood and tears from her face, and pushed herself up from the ground.
The initial panic subsided, but lingering shame and humiliation resurfaced. She was Four-Ring Soul Ancestor, a teacher at the academy; how could she be so intimidated and manipulated by a mere freshman?
Ye Yingluo gritted her teeth, her soul Soul Ring lit up again, and her Soul Power was fully utilized. She transformed into a streak of dark blue light and, with a resolute attitude, pounced on Bai Yushan once more.
This time, she held back completely, unleashing the full power of her Nether Orchid Cat Martial Soul.
Upon seeing this, Bai Yushan's lips curled into a smug and fierce smile.
Sizzle sizzle--
Fine, dark blue electric light instantly covered his entire body, and the 60,000-volt high-voltage Bioelectricity surged outwards, causing the surrounding air to tremble slightly. With the Electric Current Push, his muscle explosiveness, movement speed, and nerve reflexes all reached their peak.
His First Soul Skill, Electromagnetic Clarity, continued to operate, and his extremely clear perception enveloped the entire area. Every detail of Ye Yingluo's exertion, the trajectory of her Soul Power flow, and her movement flaws were clearly presented in his mind.
The two figures clashed fiercely once again in the next instant.
Ye Yingluo, a genuine level Four-Ring Soul Ancestor with four Soul Rings, completely unleashed all restraints. Her four Soul Ring spun wildly, yellow and purple light soaring into the sky, her immense Soul Power overwhelming the entire arena. Her Nether Orchid Cat Martial Soul erupted at full speed, her figure transforming into an extremely dark blue afterimage, so fast it was difficult to discern with the naked eye. Her claws gleamed with a cold, black light, countless claw shadows overlapping, sealing off all escape routes for Bai Yushan, each move ruthless and aimed directly at vital points.
The piercing whistles continued incessantly, and the powerful winds whipped up rubble, enveloping the entire training ground in a raging aura of Soul Power. Ordinary Soul Grandmaster were already immobilized within this atmosphere, utterly powerless to fight back.
Faced with such an overwhelming offensive from the Soul Ancestor, Bai Yushan showed no panic, only a morbid fervor. He activated his First Soul Skill, Electromagnetic Clarity, with fine electromagnetic force penetrating his entire nervous system and sea of consciousness, locking onto the entire arena with ultimate, transparent perception.
Ye Yingluo's every movement, Soul Power flow, and pre-attack animation was slowed down infinitely in his eyes, so clear that there was not a single blind spot. No matter how fierce or fast the opponent's moves were, everything was under his control.
Sixty thousand volts of high-voltage Bioelectricity surged throughout his body, and dark blue arcs crackled and exploded, ferociously coiling Entanglement his limbs and bones, amplifying his physical speed, strength, and reaction in every way. He insisted on using the meager cultivation of a level sixteen Soul Grandmaster to fight against the odds against a level forty-plus Soul Ancestor, enduring the overwhelming pressure of Soul Power, and starting a crazy battle of the weak against the strong.
Ye Yingluo, relying on the immense power of the Soul Ancestor, unleashed fierce and domineering moves, determined to crush his arrogance with her cultivation level.
Bai Yushan, however, relied on his unfathomable perception and elusive movements to roam and fight recklessly, going against the tide and fighting wildly. Even though their cultivation levels were vastly different, his inherent arrogance would never allow him to bow his head even slightly.
Ye Yingluo used her afterimage clones to confuse the enemy's vision, while her true form lurked and launched a surprise attack. With a fierce claw strike, she aimed directly at Bai Yushan's head, her power immense and carrying absolute confidence that she could defeat the enemy in one blow.
Just as the claws were about to strike, lightning erupted at the foot of Bai Yushan, and the figure shifted half an inch to the side in an uncanny way, precisely avoiding the fatal blow.
The sharp claws swept past the scalp, severing several strands of black hair, and landed with a bang, shattering the bluestone and sending stone chips flying, their power terrifying.
Despite missing her first attack, Ye Yingluo remained calm and composed. In an instant, she flipped her wrist, sweeping her claws horizontally to seamlessly connect with her second strike, targeting Bai Yushan's vulnerable chest and abdomen. Her moves were fierce and ruthless.
Bai Yushan slid low to the ground, easily dodging the sweeping claws. Using the momentum, he flipped over and twisted his waist, his right fist, crackling with high voltage, suddenly slamming out, precisely targeting Ye Yingluo's wrist opening, launching a swift and cunning counterattack.
Ye Yingluo raised an eyebrow, her left arm surging with Soul Power as she forcefully blocked the attack. Fist and claw collided violently, creating a deafening roar that reverberated throughout the area. A violent shockwave instantly swept in all directions, and both figures were simultaneously forced to retreat.
Ye Yingluo touched the ground with her toes, firmly rooted to the ground. With the Soul Ancestor's powerful Soul Power supporting her, her body remained completely still, and her aura fluctuated only slightly, leaving her unharmed.
In contrast, Bai Yushan staggered back two steps, his old chest wound reopening, hot blood soaking his clothes. The weakness of his level sixteen Soul Power was completely exposed. The overwhelming force brought by the difference in realm made his arms numb, his blood and qi surge violently, and his internal organs felt a dull pain.
But there was no fear in his eyes; instead, a more frenzied, bloodthirsty fighting spirit ignited within him.
The electric current around him surged again, and the crackling of the electric arcs became more rapid. Despite being at a complete disadvantage and severely injured, his aura grew increasingly fierce and domineering. His handsome young face was now filled with unrestrained madness and contempt, showing no regard for the Soul Ancestor expert before him.
At the edge of the playground, all the students watching froze in place, not daring to breathe.
Suddenly, Wu Changkong appeared at the edge of the playground, frowning as he watched this scene.
On the battlefield, deadly moves were unleashed once more, without the slightest pause.
Ye Yingluo completely lost her patience and unleashed her second and Third Soul Skill. The Shadow Thousand Claws covered the sky and the real and illusory afterimages enveloped the entire battlefield. The speed doubled, making it impossible for ordinary people to distinguish the true location. The countless claw shadows blocked all paths of survival.
Layers of overwhelming Soul Power pressed down, making the air increasingly viscous and completely restricting Bai Yushan's movement. Endless attacks rained down relentlessly, giving the opponent no chance to breathe, adjust, or gather strength—this was the absolute suppressive power of Soul Ancestor.
The terrifying power of a high-level Soul Master was on full display at this moment. Her vast and boundless Soul Power reserves were enough to support her endless unleashing of killing moves, and she could wear down even a low-level Soul Master.
