95: Chapter 95 An Unbeatable Opponent

Mu Luan's throat bobbed as cold sweat poured down his forehead, a piercing chill surging from the soles of his feet straight to his scalp.

"Bang!"

Su Mu withdrew his spear and stood it upright in front of him, the corner of his mouth curving upward.

"A good match!"

Mu Luan also recovered from his panic, immediately putting away his Fangtian Halberd and cupping his fists toward Su Mu in return.

Yet, an unprecedented fighting spirit ignited in his eyes.

The two turned around at the same time and walked toward opposite sides of the arena.

"Is it over already? I haven't had enough!"

"That Return Horse Spear just now was absolutely amazing."

The action of the two turning around and walking back made many in the audience think the battle was already over.

However, many also noticed that the host had not announced the end of the match, so they perked up and continued to watch.

After pulling about several dozen meters apart, they turned back at the same time, and their abilities instantly erupted wildly from their bodies.

Unlike Senior Duan Tao's white ice and snow, Mu Luan's Ice-type Ability was blue.

If one had to compare, Senior Duan Tao's ability would be frost, while Mu Luan's was solid ice.

As for Su Mu, it was still that pitch-black lightning, but this time, in addition to the lightning, patches of shadow also darted around his body.

The moment their abilities clashed, Su Mu's lightning suppressed Mu Luan completely with thunderous momentum.

Unlike the weapon duel just now, this time Su Mu showed an absolute crushing of power.

Mu Luan's expression changed from determination to shock, and finally to confusion.

In just a few short seconds, Mu Luan's expression shifted rapidly.

Just as the lightning was about to crush down right in front of Mu Luan, it suddenly vanished completely.

The mission Su Mu had accepted this time was to crush Mu Luan in all aspects, so he displayed his full strength right from the start.

Of course, they had only competed in weapons and ability control so far.

Next, Su Mu was going to make Mu Luan understand what true despair was.

Combat Techniques were where Su Mu led his peers the most; even if all the students from the University Ability Competition were brought here,

he was certain that no one could compare to him.

Mu Luan's expression was extremely complicated; the weapon he took pride in was suppressed, and the ability he held in high regard was utterly crushed.

"Brother Su Mu, I would like to experience your Combat Techniques again!"

Mu Luan was indeed a Genius; he had created an A-rank Combat Technique, and his achievements in Combat Techniques were highly praised even by his teacher, the Ice Saint.

But according to what was agreed before, having already lost two rounds, he had actually already lost.

If he wanted to continue competing with Su Mu, he had to ask for Su Mu's consent. If Su Mu was unwilling to continue, there was nothing he could do.

His upbringing and his pride would not allow him to shamelessly force a continuation of the battle.

Su Mu showed a bright smile and made a welcoming gesture with one hand.

"Thank you!"

Su Mu spun his spear to start, lightning instantly wrapping around the long spear as he immediately activated the B-rank Combat Technique, Thunder Cloud Spear.

This Combat Technique was the first one Su Mu had learned. He used it a lot when hunting Vicious Beasts in the wilderness, but he rarely used it when fighting human opponents.

However, today Su Mu decided to showcase all the Combat Techniques he knew.

Seeing that Su Mu was only using a B-rank Combat Technique, Mu Luan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

If Su Mu had started with a barrage of S-Rank Combat Skills, his Dao Heart really would have shattered.

Fortunately, Su Mu did not do that.

Mu Luan also felt somewhat relieved, though he was still comforting himself in his heart.

"How could anyone be such an all-rounder, developing in weapons, abilities, and Combat Techniques all at once?"

Thinking this, Mu Luan also raised his Fangtian Halberd and launched an attack.

But before he could reach Su Mu, a large bird of black lightning condensed in Su Mu's other hand.

He immediately threw the lightning bird, which drew a graceful arc in the air.

Accompanied by a high-pitched bird cry, it charged straight at Mu Luan.

Mu Luan's eyes widened. He recognized this Combat Technique; it was the S-Rank Combat Skill his sister Mu Feng had used before.

He didn't even know its name, as no information about this Combat Technique could be found online.

A thick ice shield condensed from deep blue ice crystals quickly formed in front of him, blocking Su Mu's attack.

"Crack!"

His already wide eyes opened even wider. Although this Ice Crystal Shield looked ordinary, it was a Combat Technique created by his teacher, the Ice Saint.

Its defensive capability was extremely outstanding even among S-Rank Combat Skills.

Yet, the Combat Technique Su Mu had instantly condensed easily shattered the Ice Crystal Shield.

Even if Su Mu's cultivation was higher than his, it should have been impossible to so easily shatter the Ice Crystal Shield he had cultivated to the proficient level.

Suddenly, as if thinking of something, he opened his mouth wide in shock, his stunned expression completely plain on his face.

But Su Mu would not slow down his offensive pace just because he was shocked, continuing his relentless assault.

"Clang!"

The sound of clashing weapons echoed throughout the arena.

After withstanding this round of Su Mu's attacks, Mu Luan immediately counterattacked, instantly unleashing his self-created Combat Technique.

Blue ice crystals solidified in front of him, forming triangular cones.

Dozens of ice crystal cones rapidly flew toward Su Mu.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The blue ice cones hit Su Mu, making loud noises, while the ice cones also shattered, kicking up a white cold mist that completely shrouded Su Mu's figure.

In the audience, Lin Ruoxi and Leng Jing couldn't help but break into a cold sweat for Su Mu.

In the spectator area of Modu Ability University, everyone couldn't help but feel nervous for Su Mu. Although Su Mu had been leading just now, the battle situation was always like this, changing in the blink of an eye.

Only one person was not worried at all, because the moment the ice crystals flew toward Su Mu, she had activated her Eye of Prediction and saw Su Mu's movements with absolute clarity.

On the arena, Su Mu swept his long spear, and the white mist completely dispersed.

Yet, he stood on the arena completely unharmed, without a single injury on his body, his calm face already saying it all.

Upon closer inspection, one could see faint arcs of electricity lingering on his originally black-and-blue combat suit.

Beside the host, Long Kui's eyes widened instantly, and she said in disbelief,

"Impossible, this is...!"

The host was clearly highly experienced and immediately chimed in.

"Young Miss Long, what do you mean is impossible? Did contestant Su Mu use some special ability?"

Reminded by the host, Long Kui also calmed down immediately. She smoothed her breathing and began to explain unhurriedly.

"If I'm not mistaken, what contestant Su Mu used should be the S-Rank Combat Skill, Thunder Armor."

"But as far as I know, Thunder Armor needs to be condensed, and once it is unleashed, it should look like wearing a suit of armor and be visible."

This sentence immediately raised doubts among many who knew a thing or two about this Combat Technique.

But Long Kui remained unhurried, speaking calmly.

"Indeed, before this Combat Technique is cultivated to mastery, it will be visible externally. But once it is cultivated to mastery, it becomes completely different."

As she spoke, she pointed to the slow-motion camera feed.

"Look, everyone, there have been electric arcs flickering on contestant Su Mu's body; this is the Thunder Armor he condensed.

Because contestant Su Mu's combat suit is blue-black itself, it wasn't easy to notice."

With Long Kui's explanation, the host and the audience instantly had an Epiphany, but what followed was the sound of gasps of cold air.

To Cultivate an S-Rank Combat Skill to the mastery-level so quickly!

Although those on the arena could not hear the dialogue of the host and commentator after the match started, Mu Luan had already noticed the abnormality on Su Mu.

At this moment, he also thoroughly understood that it was simply impossible for him to defeat the man before him.
