Xuanzi: Unorthodox Paths Are Nothing to Fear

Chapter 82 Xuanzi: Unorthodox Paths Are Nothing to Fear

Seeing this, Ma Rulong didn't care about anything else. He took out the Sword of Judgment, preparing to forcefully break through the absolute defense soul tool. How could they, the main team members, let Lin Dong bear the burden alone?

Just as he was preparing to pay the price of not being able to improve his strength by even a single step for a year by forcibly using the Sword of Judgment, Lin Dong suddenly turned around, looked at him, and shook his head.

Seeing the gale, fire dragon, and star pillar strike Lin Dong, a thick cloud of smoke rose from the scene, and after a long while, he shouted excitedly.

Even though the three of them had consumed most of their soul power in the previous battle and their soul power was not as strong as it was at its peak, if this strike hit a Great Soul Master, he would be badly injured even if he didn't die!

Huang Jinxu glanced at Jing Hongchen, but found that he did not see the panic he had expected in his eyes. Could it be that this kid was not that important?

He didn't know that the moment the faint light emanating from Lin Dong's chest appeared, he was completely relieved. With Hongchen's protection, he wasn't worried about Lin Dong getting hurt at all.

As expected, as the smoke cleared, Lin Dong's figure suddenly appeared in people's sight, rushing towards Wang Shiying, the Soul Master in the best condition.

Wang Shiying was clearly not fully prepared, but fortunately she still had her invincible shield unused, and three seconds was enough time for her to unleash another attack.

After taking a punch from Lin Dong and being sent flying backward, a wind dragon shot out from her hand the instant her third spirit ring lit up beneath her feet, biting towards Lin Dong.

But to the astonishment of the three, a Soul King's third Soul Skill only slowed Lin Dong down for a few seconds without causing him any harm.

The moment the light struck Lin Dong's body, two colors, green and blue, emanated from him. Lin Dong paused for a moment, then attacked Wang Shiying, who was closest to him, once again.

He only had fifteen seconds to activate the Red Dust Protection buff, so he had to hurry and take care of everyone.

Wang Shiying's face turned deathly pale as she watched Lin Dong charge towards her. This guy was clearly here to cripple her!

Just as Lin Dong's fist, crackling with lightning, was about to strike her, a sudden suction force pulled her to Huang Jinxu's side.

He bowed to Huang Jinxu with some gratitude, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead. The look in that guy's eyes just now was truly terrifying.

Lin Dong sensed the sudden change. This referee was really in the way. He frowned and turned to look at Xu Jiujiu, who looked the most listless. His eyes narrowed slightly, and he rushed directly towards the pale-faced Xu Jiujiu.

Saint Wing snorted coldly. He was in the best condition among the three, so naturally he wouldn't let Lin Dong get close to the princess so easily.

After watching the two locked in combat for a long time, Xu Jiujiu couldn't help but frown. This guy was too strange; why were their attacks completely ineffective?

However, judging from the force of his punch, his soul power should be exhausted soon, which is a rare piece of good news.

Saint Wing looked at Lin Dong, who was attacking him relentlessly but to no avail, and laughed contemptuously:

"Don't waste your energy. Your defense is indeed strong, but when it comes to attack, what can a mere Great Soul Master like you do to break my Immovable Spirit Vulture Bell! Once your suddenly enhanced defense wears off, you will undoubtedly lose!"

A sinister smile appeared on Lin Dong's face, and he let out a sneer:

"Watch me smash your turtle shell with one punch!"

He immediately gritted his teeth and activated the soul power within his body. Suddenly, a third eye opened on his forehead, and pale green energy floated out from the eye. When that mysterious energy combined with Lin Dong's fist...

A sudden surge of unease welled up in Saint Wing's heart. There were at least four different powers in that fist! How could someone possess four different powers?!

Lin Dong's fist not only possessed the fierceness of thunder, but also the biting coldness, soul power, and a power similar to spiritual power.

Although Huang Jinxu realized that something was wrong, he still hesitated. If Sheng Yi could withstand this punch, then Lin Dong would definitely be at his last gasp. He couldn't give up the chance for Xing Luo to win!

Lin Dong's face, radiating intense coldness, was reflected in Sheng Yi's eyes, startling him so much that he unleashed all the remaining soul power within him and simultaneously released an invincible protective shield.

Xu Jiujiu also used all the remaining soul power in her body to enhance the Holy Wing with the Star Radiance Technique.

But to his horrified gaze, Lin Dong's fist arrived with a bang. The mysterious icy white energy on his fist, like a maggot clinging to a bone, climbed onto the invincible shield and the starlight, and a crisp sound rang out.

Lin Dong's fist shot out with fierce force. A moment later, Huang Jinxu was horrified to find that he had maintained the posture of throwing a punch, and drops of bright red blood kept dripping from his fist, staining the entire ground red.

Holy Wing's body flew backward at a terrifying speed, amidst the horrified gazes of the crowd.

On the chest of the fallen Saint Wing, where the wings had turned iron-gray, a pitch-black hole appeared, from which blood trickled out.

This horrifying scene caused many people to cover their mouths in shock. It was the most terrifying and bloody scene on the field. All the previous casualties were not as shocking as this scene.

Xu Jiujiu hadn't expected Lin Dong to unleash such terrifying strength. Seeing the chilling killing intent emanating from him, a murderous glint appeared in his eyes, and he screamed at Wang Shiying:

"Go, Yichen! He's too weak. Don't let everyone die in vain!"

Tears welled up in Yi Chen's eyes, and her whole body trembled as she used all the remaining soul power to unleash a massive wave of fire that flew toward Lin Dong with intense heat.

Just as it was about to hit Lin Dong, a blue shield suddenly blocked his way, firmly catching the wave of fire.

Seeing Mika's worried face, Lin Dong collapsed with a sigh of relief and slowly closed his eyes.

Seeing that her attack had been blocked, Wang Shiying was about to strike again when she suddenly felt a chill on her neck.

"Hey, if you don't want to die, don't do anything unnecessary."

The opponent's Soul Emperor and Soul King had somehow broken through the level seven absolute defense soul guide shield. Huang Jinxu hurriedly activated his soul power, his face turning ashen, and pulled Xu Jiujiu and Wang Shiying to his front, saying in a low voice:

"In the semifinals of this competition, Star Luo Royal Academy concedes defeat, and Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy emerges victorious!"

Mika picked up the sleeping Lin Dong and slowly walked off the stage. After a moment of silence, a deafening roar erupted, and his name instantly resounded throughout the entire arena.

No matter what, this is a world where the strong are respected. Although Lin Dong is still young, he has already impressed all the audience members with his strength.

A gentle smile appeared on Ma Rulong's face as he placed a jade-green carving knife in Lin's hand.

This is the Blade of Guardianship of Living Beings. After Lin Dong activated the Red Dust Protection, he took advantage of the fact that the other party's attention was entirely focused on him.

He used his mental power to control it, directing it from the hole in the Star Guardian towards the level seven defensive soul tool.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

While countless eyes were focused on Lin Dong's battle with the others, Ma Rulong and Mika concentrated on attacking the crack created by the dagger, which allowed them to appear at the crucial moment.

Looking at Lin Dong, whose eyes were tightly closed, Jing Hongchen couldn't help but smile. Lin Dong, a preliminary team member with the strength of a Great Soul Master, had killed seven Soul Kings on the opposing side during the competition, almost causing them to give up the fight and surrender.

If Lin Dong hadn't broken through the Star Guardian and stood in front of Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen, the two of them would probably have been seriously injured.

If he hadn't held out until Marulong Mika broke through the shield, if it weren't for his recklessness mixed with meticulousness, helping Marulong Mika break through the barrier.

If he hadn't taken the opponent by surprise, killing two and seriously injuring one, no one else could have turned the tide of the match.

Not to mention that he had single-handedly depleted so much of the opponent's soul power, and even Xiao Hongchen looked at Lin Dong with more respect in his eyes.

Looking at the horrific battlefield, the Shrek members couldn't help but click their tongues in disbelief. Even Ma Xiaotao couldn't help but sigh:

"How come the pre-selected members of this year's Sun Moon Academy seem even more formidable than the regular members?"

Wang Dong blinked curiously. Why did that guy make her feel a little scared? Could they really win the championship from such a monster and defend some vague glory?

Just as she was silently complaining, Xuanzi's voice, tinged with anger, rang out:

"Don't underestimate yourselves. You are the geniuses that Shrek Academy has nurtured with all its might. That kid may have some skills, but ultimately they are just using unorthodox methods. We must maintain our confidence and believe that you can definitely defend the eternal glory that Shrek Academy holds!"

His words might fool these students under normal circumstances, but how could they possibly be fooled by his few words when they had sects behind them?

More importantly, the feeling they had just experienced from that battle was truly shocking. That guy named Lin Dong was terrifying; almost every move he made was a fatal blow.

He was only at the Great Soul Master level; it was hard to imagine how terrifying this guy would be when he reached the Soul King level. Seeing the slightly clearer look in everyone's eyes, Xuanzi was afraid that someone would take the lead in saying "give up," so he hurriedly spoke up:

"Are you all worried about that strange kid? With my years of experience, I can assure you that the strength he displayed today was definitely the result of pushing his own potential to the limit. Judging from his appearance today, it's uncertain whether he'll even be able to play in the next match. There's no need for you to worry."

Seeing Xuanzi's confident demeanor, everyone could only nod in agreement. Ma Xiaotao, clearly more determined than the others to achieve glory, immediately chimed in:

"Rest assured, Elder Xuan, for the glory of the academy, we will do our utmost, just like Xingluo!"

Xuanzi nodded with a smile, glancing at Riyue and the others in the rest area out of the corner of his eye. A subtle fluctuation flashed in his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.

Xu Jiawei, standing on the city wall, looked at Xu Jiujiu, whose face was pale, and his eyes almost spit fire. Damn Riyue, damn Xuanzi!

This match was entirely in accordance with Xuanzi's requirements, aiming to leave even the immortal Sun and Moon severely injured. They were so well prepared, yet they were completely disrupted by a twelve-year-old boy!

Even if the King of Heaven himself came, he wouldn't have foreseen this!

After killing two Soul Kings, a Great Soul Master was able to incapacitate two more Soul Kings while fighting four opponents alone, and still have the energy to rescue his teammates. Is this something a twelve-year-old child could do?

Xu Jiawei's heart is bleeding right now. The younger generation of Xingluo is either dead or injured. This loss is no joke!

Zhu Ling, standing next to Xu Jiawei, recalled the scene of the young man named Lin Dong wreaking havoc in the competition.

There was a sense of déjà vu, and she subconsciously glanced at Dai Huabin in the rest area, a vague feeling of unease rising in her heart...
