57: Chapter 57 I can kill you all without using superpowers

The three students were momentarily stunned, and amidst immense frustration, they could only withdraw from the arena.

To be able to attend Magic Capital University, they were also prodigies of their local schools, elite students among tens of thousands. Consequently, being instantly defeated by Jiang Ling in the arena match was quite a blow to their self-confidence.

Luo Fei and the others were also slightly taken aback when they saw this scene.

Jiang Ling had actually defeated three students in an instant; his strength was indeed somewhat formidable.

"However, no matter how strong he is, he's no match for so many of us."

Luo Fei shouted loudly, and the axe in his hand swung toward Jiang Ling once again.

Jiang Ling executed the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Steps, moving rapidly. His figure was like a ghost, and in the blink of an eye, he actually leaped out of their encirclement.

Puff, puff, puff...

After several consecutive strikes, the elimination markers lit up on four more students.

These four students were completely dazed. They hadn't even seen Jiang Ling's figure clearly before they were eliminated; it was too humiliating.

Their strength wasn't actually weak, and their supernatural abilities were even stronger, but unfortunately, they had no room to utilize them.

Jiang Ling's Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Steps combined with the Nine Slashes of the Blade Emperor allowed him to easily cut them down.

This showed that the gap between them and Jiang Ling was like heaven and earth.

*Hiss!*

"This Jiang Ling is quite strong!"

"In the blink of an eye, he's already taken out seven people!"

"He hasn't even used a Supernatural Ability!"

"Are those the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Steps? As expected of an ancient god-tier footwork technique, it truly is mysterious and unpredictable!"

"His Blade Technique is also so strong; with every strike, the opponent is completely unable to dodge!"

...

As Lu Shengnan watched Jiang Ling effortlessly and cleanly cut down those seven students, her pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly.

"His talent is indeed peerless!"

"Taking out seven people instantly without using a Supernatural Ability... I'm afraid even I couldn't do that!"

"It seems those comments about him online might be true!"

"This is getting interesting!"

"Having such an opponent makes my trip to Magic Capital University worthwhile!"

...

The faces of the other four provincial top scholars—Jin Yichuan, Shen Chong, Lin Haochen, and Chu He—also took on a solemn expression.

As the saying goes, as soon as a Master makes a move, one knows if they have the skills.

Jiang Ling's seemingly relaxed footwork and blade swings had already demonstrated super-strong martial arts talent and strength.

Originally, they hadn't thought much of Jiang Ling, the so-called national top scholar, but now, they all began to take him seriously.

He would definitely be a powerful opponent.

Ye Honglian now wore a smug expression. Her Junior Brother was indeed a Genius among geniuses!

No wonder Master thought so highly of him!

"Who has a control-type Supernatural Ability? Trap him!"

Seeing Jiang Ling's bizarre footwork, Luo Fei hurriedly shouted.

"Watch me!"

A short, sturdy student roared and suddenly stepped forward, slamming the ground hard. Instantly, the earth churned, and a massive cage appeared, trapping Jiang Ling inside.

"Good!"

Luo Fei was overjoyed. "Concentrate fire and attack!"

"Strike!"

In an instant, various elemental long-range attacks erupted. Flames, frost, Wind Blades, and more all converged to cover the earthen prison.

Bang, bang, bang...

The earthen prison exploded into pieces. Jiang Ling, who was inside, surely wouldn't be able to escape unscathed.

After a cloud of dust filled the air, everyone waited expectantly to see an eliminated or even heavily injured Jiang Ling.

However, amidst the ruins of the earthen prison, Jiang Ling's figure was nowhere to be seen.

"What happened?"

"Where did Jiang Ling go?"

"He couldn't have been killed by that round of concentrated fire, could he?"

"That shouldn't be possible, right?"

...

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Just then, the ground suddenly split open, and a figure drilled out from within. Blade light flickered, and before several students could react, the elimination markers lit up on them once more.

"This..."

"He tunneled underground?"

"He's actually using this kind of fighting style?"

"It's a bit... unrefined!"

"Who cares if it's unrefined or not? As long as he wins!"

"If you encountered an enemy in the wilderness in a life-or-death battle, who would care about being refined?"

...

"Again!"

Luo Fei shouted.

The short, sturdy student smashed the ground again, constructing another earthen prison.

But this time, Jiang Ling was prepared. With a bizarre flash of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Steps, he appeared right in front of the short, sturdy student.

Puff!

The short, sturdy student was sent packing.

For a moment, the students on the arena were all terrified.

Jiang Ling's strength was truly a bit too terrifying.

In the beginning, when they were asked to besiege Jiang Ling together, they had been rather dismissive.

They thought that even for a national top scholar, all of them besieging him together was a bit too much like bullying.

As it turned out, even with so many of them besieging him together, they were still suffering setbacks.

Watching the scene from the balcony, Jiang Churan's beautiful eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light.

"This guy's strength is actually this great?"

"He is indeed a talent!" the Chairman said from the side. "If the timing is right, let's pull him into our Guild!"

"Continuing to polish him after he joins the Guild will be the same!"

"But if we don't suppress him first, he won't submit, nor will he come to our Guild," Jiang Churan said, shaking her head.

"Haha... Then... suppress him even harder!"

The Chairman swirled his red wine glass, his eyes showing a look of total control.

In his eyes, Jiang Ling seemed like an ant that could be toyed with at will.

On the arena, those students all became solemn, utilizing various supernatural abilities in an attempt to defeat Jiang Ling.

If they couldn't defeat Jiang Ling even with all of them working together, they would lose face big time.

"Thorn Crown!"

A girl suddenly touched the ground with both hands, and then several massive thorny vines extended out, like giant pythons coiling toward Jiang Ling.

Whoosh!

Jiang Ling suddenly charged through the middle of the thorny vines and instantly reached the girl, striking with his blade.

Puff!

The girl was also sent packing.

Jiang Ling's figure was like a ghost, weaving in and out; the students on the arena could hardly catch his shadow.

Sometimes, they would seize an opportunity to attack Jiang Ling together, only to find that he had already vanished.

Their attacks all ended up hitting each other.

Although they were supposedly besieging Jiang Ling together, they hadn't cooperated beforehand, so it was extremely chaotic.

Puff, puff, puff...

Jiang Ling's horizontal saber continuously reaped through them, and in the blink of an eye, more than half of the students on the arena were gone.

The remaining students were even less of a match for Jiang Ling.

Seeing that they were about to lose, Luo Fei grew anxious.

If he lost, it wasn't just a matter of losing face; he would also fail to complete the task Jiang Churan had given him.

Gritting his teeth, Luo Fei secretly took out a blood rage pill from his Storage Ring and swallowed it.

The blood rage pill, as the name suggested, made the blood and Qi in the body go wild, instantly increasing one's strength several times over.

He was going to give it his all to ensure he defeated Jiang Ling.
