72: Chapter 70 Possessed by a Ghost or a Silkworm?

As the knockout tournament went from top 16 to top 8 and then to top 4, the assessment procedure finally reached the top-4-to-top-2 stage.

When it was time for the draw, looking at Huo Yuhao standing not far away, and then looking at Little Fatty and Skinny who were winking at him with excited expressions, Lin Yan was suddenly somewhat surprised.

He hadn't expected that even with a change of two teammates, Huo Yuhao could still make it into the final four.

This was the gold content of the Child of Luck—truly terrifying to this extent!

He sucked in a cold breath, making a contribution to global warming.

Since the previous matches were all conducted simultaneously, Lin Yan hadn't deliberately paid attention to Huo Yuhao, so he didn't know that Huo Yuhao was able to break into the final four by using a "self-created Spirit Ability" — Ghost Possession.

No, to be precise, it was — Iceworm Possession!

At this moment, just as Lin Yan saw Huo Yuhao,

Huo Yuhao also saw his "good brother" — Dai Huabin!

At this moment, thinking of the bullying he had suffered since childhood and the death of his mother, his eyes instantly turned crimson, and a monstrous hatred erupted in his heart.

The thought of defeating Dai Huabin in full view of everyone and washing away his humiliation instantly burned to its peak.

But as Luck would have it, heaven plays with people.

After the draw ended, Huo Yuhao did not draw Dai Huabin; instead, he drew Lin Yan.

Hearing Chen Beixuan and Ye Liangchen behind him, whose words both inside and out were certain of a "certain defeat", the reluctance and gloomy look in Huo Yuhao's eyes grew even more intense.

No...

He absolutely cannot lose here!

Under the gaze of all these people, he was going to fiercely defeat that scoundrel Dai Huabin and trample him under his feet bit by bit!

Clenching his fists tightly inside his sleeves, his nails digging deep into his palms, the sharp pain only made the madness deep within Huo Yuhao's heart grow even more intense.

...

Soon, the six people from both sides walked into the Assessment District in turn.

"Freshman Class 1, Lin Yan, Wang Donger, Xiao Xiao."

"Freshman Class 1, Huo Yuhao, Chen Beixuan, Ye Liangchen."

The teacher in charge of the assessment checked the information of both sides expressionlessly, swept their gaze between the two teams, and then raised a hand —

"The match begins!"

Although the referee had already given the order, the battle did not erupt instantly.

Ye Liangchen and Chen Beixuan pitifully looked at Lin Yan and wailed, "Brother Lin!"

"Show mercy later on!"

In response, Lin Yan chuckled dryly and naturally gave a slight nod.

After all, since Little Fatty and Skinny had made it all the way here, he had to give them both a chance to showcase themselves.

Seeing Lin Yan nod, Little Fatty, Skinny, and Huo Yuhao exchanged a glance, took a deep breath, and their expressions instantly turned solemn.

"Make a move!"

Huo Yuhao gave a low shout and made the first move!

Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track traced streams of afterimages beneath his feet, and his entire body rushed straight toward Lin Yan like an arrow released from a bowstring!

At the same time, Chen Beixuan and Ye Liangchen also simultaneously released their Spirits, rushing towards Wang Donger and Xiao Xiao from left and right!

"Spirit, body attachment!"

Chen Beixuan's body suddenly surged, growing nearly a head taller. His muscles bulged, and a layer of heavy grayish-brown rock armor emerged on the surface of his skin. Even his nose elongated slightly, and two short stone tusks poked out from the corners of his lips.

This was his Spirit — Profound Rock Elephant.

On the other side, Ye Liangchen was completely of a different style.

With a flash of his figure, he transformed into a gray shadow, his speed so fast that it left a faint afterimage in place. His pupils turned into vertical slits, glowing with a gloomy green cold light, and sharp claw blades popped out from the tips of his ten fingers, radiating a cold metallic luster.

Spirit — Gale Shadow Wolf!

Facing these two aggressively approaching opponents, Wang Donger and Xiao Xiao, who had fought their way up and possessed extremely rich combat experience, didn't even furrow their brows.

Xiao Xiao even had the leisure to turn her head and blink playfully at Wang Donger, "Sister Donger, a quick victory?"

Wang Donger smiled faintly and nodded gently, "Mm!"

The next second, both girls moved simultaneously!

Butterfly wings blooming with gorgeous blue-gold radiance first unfolded behind Wang Donger's back, and two spirit rings—one yellow and one purple—rose one after another, brilliant halos flowing and emitting an astonishing momentum.

On Xiao Xiao's side, she was equally impressive as an archaic and heavy Three-Life Soul-Suppressing Cauldron instantly appeared above her head, forming a sharp visual contrast with her petite figure.

...

On the other side, looking at Lin Yan who was walking as if strolling leisurely in a courtyard, a wave of powerlessness surged in Huo Yuhao's heart.

Mental shock, Tang Sect unique skills, and even Hidden Weapons—he had used them all.

But Lin Yan was like an unshakeable, towering mountain; no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't shake him in the slightest.

...

Relying on the augmentation of Huo Yuhao's spiritual detection sharing, Ye Liangchen's first spirit ring lit up rapidly.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh —!"

Three half-moon-shaped wind blades cut through the air, whistling toward the direction of Wang Donger and Xiao Xiao at tricky angles.

Facing this blow, Wang Donger quickly reacted.

The blue-gold butterfly wings swung violently, and a dazzling golden blade of light suddenly slashed out!

The next moment, the golden light blade collided fiercely with the three wind blades!

But with almost no pause, the wind blades shattered instantly, scattering into a sky full of points of light!

Relying on the vision provided by spiritual detection sharing, the moment the light blade and wind blades collided, Ye Liangchen sensed something was wrong and reacted quickly.

In the end, he narrowly avoided this fatal blow!

However, in just this split second, Wang Donger's blue-gold figure had already rushed close to him!

While Wang Donger met Ye Liangchen, Xiao Xiao also blocked Chen Beixuan.

Nine Phoenixes Coming Flute mental interference, Three-Life Soul-Suppressing Cauldron fierce attack—a set of smooth, combo moves instantly beat Chen Beixuan so hard that he didn't know north from south.

...

Seeing this scene, Huo Yuhao's heart sank, knowing he could not drag this out any longer!

Heaven Rank Dou Technique — Iceworm Possession!

"Brother Lin, I'm sorry!"

Huo Yuhao silently recited in his heart, a trace of guilt flashing in the depths of his eyes, but more of it was the determination of burning the boats.

The next moment —

He roared sternly in his heart:

"Brother Tianmeng!!"

Inside the Spirit Sea.

Tianmeng Iceworm, who was fast asleep again, heard Huo Yuhao's voice, and a flash of helplessness instantly crossed its face!

Again!

Will you not let the iceworm sleep?!

However, dissatisfaction was dissatisfaction.

A moment later, Tianmeng Iceworm still let out a long sigh and quickly took action.

"Fine, fine, who told Big Brother to choose you."

And the moment its voice fell — a massive Mental Energy roared back to life!

...

Outside.

The changes in Huo Yuhao's eyes were naturally noticed by Lin Yan at the very first moment.

Having also experienced "Ghost Possession", upon seeing this, he instantly reacted to what had happened.

At the same time, he also came to a sudden realization — so this was Huo Yuhao's trump card for advancing to the final four.

However, glancing at his own Spirit Sea, which now resembled a real World, and then glancing at the Extreme Cold Mysterious Ice Fire quietly burning on the barrier of the Spirit Sea,

A playful look instantly appeared in Lin Yan's eyes.

Hope you won't bring trouble upon yourself, oh.

Otherwise, you're going to suffer a miserable time.
