Long Hengxu, the bloodthirsty spectator
Wu Changkong's expression stiffened slightly. After briefly calming himself down, he secretly made up his mind.
This battle is a must, and he must show his true skill to teach the arrogant Bai Yushan a lesson. He wants to make this exceptionally talented but unruly youth understand that there are always people more capable than him, and that even if his combat strength far surpasses that of his peers, he cannot be arrogant and disregard all rules and powerful figures.
Without any unnecessary words, Wu Changkong directly made the arrangements.
"Everyone, stand up and proceed to the academy's indoor combat training room. The next lesson will be a combat observation session; watch my match against Bai Yushan."
As soon as he finished speaking, the other five students in the classroom all looked shocked.
Tang Wulin's eyes widened in disbelief. His homeroom teacher, Wu Changkong, was a top expert in the academy, Six-Ring Soul Emperor, yet he was going to personally challenge Bai Yushan, a first-year student.
Gu Yue's eyes flickered slightly as she quietly looked at Bai Yushan, a hint of inquiry flashing in them. She could vaguely sense the terrifying power hidden within this young man. Coupled with her promise to Na'er... she had long wanted to get to know Bai Yushan. But unfortunately, neither Tang Wulin nor Xie Xie had ever spoken of Bai Yushan 'Bai Yushan situation. Even her homeroom teacher rarely discussed him with her. She hadn't even had a chance to contact him.
Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi exchanged bewildered glances, their hearts filled with shock. They never imagined that the rumored strongest freshman in Class 1 of the first year was so powerful as to challenge Teacher Wu to a duel. They had heard that Teacher Wu was a genuine Six-Ring Soul Emperor!
The group left the classroom in an orderly fashion and headed to the large indoor training room specially built by the academy. The training room was spacious, with the floor paved with special non-slip and pressure-resistant soul-guided floor tiles, and the surrounding area was equipped with a Soul Power protective barrier, which was sufficient to withstand the aftershocks of a full-force battle between Soul Emperor level experts.
Just as everyone arrived at the training room door, a series of hurried footsteps rushed over.
Long Hengxu rushed to the scene, his face full of excitement, and immediately spotted Bai Yushan in the arena.
Whenever he heard that Bai Yushan was about to start a battle, Long Hengxu would rush to the scene immediately. The scene of the bloody battle against the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear at the Spirit Ascension Platform was deeply imprinted in his mind. He was particularly fascinated by Bai Yushan's desperate fighting spirit and his overwhelming fighting posture. Every time he watched Bai Yushan make a move, it would make his blood boil.
"Teacher Wu, may I watch this match from the sidelines?" Long Hengxu asked Wu Changkong, his tone filled with anticipation.
Wu Changkong nodded slightly, without refusing.
One more spectator was of no importance; his mind was entirely focused on the battle before him.
In the center of the arena, only Wu Changkong and Bai Yushan remained, standing facing each other.
Bai Yushan wore a casual smile, raising his hand to gently move his wrists and ankles, the joints making a crisp sound. There was no leakage of Soul Power around him, only the occasional flash of a dark blue lightning at his fingertips. He looked at Wu Changkong, who remained motionless opposite him, and casually raised his hand.
"Teacher Wu, please."
Wu Changkong nodded slightly, his icy blue eyes filled with seriousness. He did not attack directly, but instead circulated his Soul Power to forcibly suppress his level 69 Soul Emperor cultivation, eventually stabilizing it at the level of Three-Ring Soul Elder.
Upon seeing this, Bai Yushan immediately frowned, and the smile on his face faded slightly.
"Teacher Wu, you can use the power of the fourth ring."
Wu Changkong did not respond. He gently raised his right hand, and the ice-blue Heavenly Frost Sword was instantly unsheathed. The cold frost aura spread along the sword, and the surrounding air temperature dropped sharply. His First Soul Ring lit up, and the Heavenly Frost Sword, wrapped in a bone-chilling ice blade, stabbed straight toward Bai Yushan's heart.
Bai Yushan was filled with dissatisfaction. The other party's deliberate suppression of his cultivation level seemed more like a sign of contempt to him. Since the other party refused to take it seriously, he would show Wu Changkong with his actions that he was no longer the boy he was two months ago.
Without any hesitation, a flash of lightning appeared at the foot of Bai Yushan, and his figure vanished from the spot in an instant.
The two fought at an extreme speed, leaving only two afterimages constantly colliding and clashing in the training room.
A chilling frost and eerie blue lightning exploded wildly in the center of the arena, sending ice shards and sparks flying everywhere, accompanied by a series of dull thuds.
The five students watching widened their eyes, unable to see the specific movements of the two people in the arena. They could only see frost and lightning constantly intertwining. Xie Xie stood at the front, his palms slightly sweaty. He still remembered the scene when Bai Yushan slapped him to the ground. Now, watching Bai Yushan and Wu, Six-Ring Soul Emperor Teacher Wu, clash head-on, he was deeply shocked.
Wu Changkong Changkong's Second Soul Ring suddenly lit up, and a large-scale low-temperature mist instantly spread out, enveloping the entire area around Bai Yushan Mountain.
The icy mist had a strong slowing effect and continued to erode his physical body, attempting to completely lock down Bai Yushan's movements and force him to withstand the upcoming powerful attack.
Immediately following, the Third Soul Ring lit up, and the Heavenly Frost Sword slashed out horizontally. The solid, giant ice blade, carrying extreme cold, crashed down directly towards Bai Yushan.
A chilling fog enveloped him, its biting cold attempting to freeze Bai Yushan's veins and muscles.
Bai Yushan will never repeat the mistake it made two months ago.
With a thought, a 99,000-volt high-voltage current burst forth from his body. The violent current rubbed against the air at high speed, instantly generating a large amount of heat. The surrounding low-temperature fog was completely dispelled by the high temperature, and even the thin ice that had frozen on the ground melted rapidly.
The cold fog blockade has completely failed.
Bai Yushan gathered all the scattered electricity into his arms, his arm muscles taut, and the eerie blue lightning pulsed along his fists. Without dodging, he met the icy blade of the Heavenly Frost Slash head-on with both fists.
Fist and sword collided with a thunderous crash.
The raging electric current and the extreme cold clashed violently, and the intense Impact spread outwards, causing fine cracks to appear on the soul-guided floor tiles. Wu Changkong felt an incomparably powerful force travel through the sword, his hand gripping the hilt went slightly numb, and he involuntarily took a half step back.
For the first time, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
With just pure physical strength amplified by electric current, it was able to directly withstand his Heavenly Frost Slash, which was at the third level of cultivation, and even surpass him in strength.
In just two short months, Bai Yushan's growth rate has far exceeded his expectations.
Bai Yushan pressed his advantage relentlessly, lightning crackling beneath his feet as he instantly closed the distance between them. Utilizing the extreme speed boosted by the Electric Current Push, his fists transformed into a blur of afterimages, unleashing a full-force, Lightning Plasma.
Countless electrified fist shadows covered every part of Wu Changkong's body, each punch carrying a high-voltage electric shock, and the frequency of the punches was too fast for the naked eye to catch. Wu Changkong could only keep swinging his Heavenly Frost Sword to block, the ice blade and the fist shadows constantly colliding, and the ear-piercing metallic clashes continued one after another.
