60: Chapter 60 The Power of the SSS-Rank White Tiger

Roar!

Chu He's Titan Giant Ape seemed to sense the power of Jiang Ling's World-Ending Divine Thunder; it let out an angry roar toward the sky as its eyes turned blood-red.

"Jiang Ling, take this strike!"

Chu He bellowed as he suddenly raised his copper staff high and leaped into the air, looking like an ancient malevolent god as he smashed down toward Jiang Ling.

The entire arena actually began to tremble at that moment.

"What incredible strength!"

"Chu He truly lives up to being the provincial top scholar. This talent, this strength, and this Supernatural Ability are simply too powerful!"

"Can Jiang Ling withstand it?"

"It'll be hard!"

"Jiang Ling's Supernatural Ability isn't an Enhancement-type. If he tries to clash head-on with Chu He, he'll definitely be at a disadvantage!"

...

On the stage, facing Chu He's Titan Giant Ape's attack that felt like Mount Tai pressing down, Jiang Ling took a deep breath. Lightning erupted from his body as he unexpectedly met the attack head-on without dodging.

Rumble...

Jiang Ling's World-Ending Divine Thunder gathered and attached itself to his horizontal saber, forming a massive pillar of lightning that collided with Chu He's giant copper staff.

"Holy crap!"

"Jiang Ling actually chose to clash head-on!"

"Isn't he attacking his opponent's strength with his own weakness?"

...

The surrounding students watching the battle were all shocked.

Jiang Ling had actually chosen this thankless fighting style. Did he have enough confidence in himself?

Boom!

The Divine Thunder filling the sky collided with Chu He's giant copper staff, resulting in a world-shaking explosion.

The entire arena was nearly blown to pieces.

Amidst the eruption of endless lightning, Chu He's body was suddenly sent flying backward, all the way off the stage.

Jiang Ling's body also recoiled, but he managed to stand firm at the edge of the arena at the last moment.

One move decided the victory!

"Whoa!"

"In a head-on clash, Jiang Ling actually won?"

"Jiang Ling is too strong!"

...

Chu He, who had fallen below the stage, stared blankly at Jiang Ling on the platform. After a long while, he shouted, "I lost!"

In a head-on duel, he had been defeated by Jiang Ling. He had no complaints about his loss.

Not far away, Lu Shengnan watched this scene, her beautiful eyes shimmering constantly, betraying her restless heart.

Jiang Ling's strength was even greater than she had imagined.

After Jiang Ling and Chu He finished their fight, it was Lu Shengnan and Shen Chong's turn.

Lu Shengnan's SSS-rank Supernatural Ability was the Ancient Divine Beast, White Tiger, facing Shen Chong's SS-rank Supernatural Ability, Blood Moon Scimitar.

The Blood Moon Scimitar was unpredictable and its attacks were swift. It also carried a mental attack component with hallucinogenic effects.

However, with a single roar from Lu Shengnan's White Tiger, all those effects were shattered.

Lu Shengnan's weapon was a greatsword, which she swung with such force that it whistled through the air. Shen Chong couldn't get close at all and could only dodge passively.

The two sides fought for over ten minutes until Lu Shengnan finally seized an opportunity and knocked Shen Chong off the stage with a single sword strike.

Lu Shengnan advanced.

The upcoming final would be between Jiang Ling and Lu Shengnan.

A duel between two SSS-ranks made the students extremely excited.

This was a grand occasion that hadn't been seen in years.

Who would ultimately come out on top?

Many students didn't even sleep all night because they were too excited.

As for Jiang Ling, one of the participants, he slept very soundly. After having breakfast the next day, he arrived at the competition grounds with Ye Honglian.

He was also looking forward to fighting another SSS-rank Martial Artist to see how large the gap was.

Lu Shengnan's expression was also very calm, with no significant fluctuations on her face.

The referee teacher announced the start of the match, and Jiang Ling and Lu Shengnan stepped onto the stage together.

Lu Shengnan had neat short hair, which, paired with her exquisite features and vigorous, slender build, gave her a heroic and spirited appearance full of androgynous charm.

A commotion broke out among the crowd below; this Lu Shengnan was truly beautiful!

Different from the delicate and enchanting nature of typical girls, Lu Shengnan possessed an entirely different kind of style that was fatally tempting to men.

Many people developed the idea of wanting to pursue her.

But upon learning that Lu Shengnan was a member of the Lu Family, they all abandoned that thought.

With SSS-rank talent and being a member of the Lu Family, what kind of person would it take to be worthy of her!

"Start!"

With a shout from the referee teacher, the match officially began.

Jiang Ling took out his horizontal saber, and Lu Shengnan took out her greatsword.

Lu Shengnan's greatsword was even taller than she was, yet she held it with ease.

Behind her, the phantom of the Divine Beast White Tiger gradually emerged. Combined with her stunning beauty, it created a visual sense of Beauty and the Beast.

It added even more to her charm.

On Jiang Ling's body, the World-Ending Divine Thunder also began to flicker. A destructive aura was released, clashing with the White Tiger phantom behind Lu Shengnan, causing a burst of brilliant sparks in mid-air.

Roar!

The White Tiger behind Lu Shengnan seemed sentient; sensing the aura of the World-Ending Divine Thunder, it actually let out a roar of its own, looking down from above as if it wanted to swallow Jiang Ling whole.

It truly lived up to being an SSS-rank Divine Beast Supernatural Ability.

The two faced off for about a minute before suddenly charging at each other simultaneously.

Boom, boom, boom...

The two exchanged countless blows in an instant, their powerful forces converging and triggering massive explosions.

*Hiss!*

"Are these really freshmen?"

"Even sophomore or junior seniors would find it hard to create such a huge commotion, right?"

"They truly are SSS-rank Prodigies."

...

Jiang Ling brandished his horizontal saber, his body constantly shifting as he used the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Steps to launch attacks on Lu Shengnan from various angles.

However, Lu Shengnan actually managed to block everything with that greatsword of hers.

Jiang Ling had encountered many strong opponents on his journey, but it was his first time seeing someone like Lu Shengnan.

Not only did Lu Shengnan have a powerful Supernatural Ability that granted her super strength, agility, and other attributes.

At the same time, Lu Shengnan's Martial Skills were also incredibly exquisite.

Although Jiang Ling was also very strong, there was still a gap between him and Lu Shengnan in terms of the training and martial path he had undergone.

Lu Shengnan was born into a martial arts family and had been trained by a Martial Grandmaster since she could walk.

This was something Jiang Ling lacked.

Although the Jiang Family was also a martial arts family, they had never invested any resources in him.

Therefore, Jiang Ling and Lu Shengnan were initially locked in a stalemate.

However, the talent brought by Jiang Ling's Chaos Sacred Body was soon stimulated.

The effect of growing stronger as he fought made his fighting spirit higher and higher, and his Heaven-Defying Comprehension Ability allowed him to quickly understand and gain insight into Lu Shengnan's martial path!

Combined with the unpredictability of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Steps, Jiang Ling soon gained the upper hand.

Jiang Ling's figure seemed to split into countless copies, appearing all over the arena.

Saber shadows layered over each other, thunder roared, and lightning intertwined, completely surrounding Lu Shengnan.

Roar!

The White Tiger phantom behind Lu Shengnan flew into a rage, its roar causing Jiang Ling's blood and Qi to surge so violently that he almost fell.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lu Shengnan quickly counterattacked.

Jiang Ling took a deep breath and slashed his horizontal saber out with great force.

"Wind Thunder Slash!"
