259: No face, Lin Qingyan VS the second in the college

Outside the Martial Arts Hall was a vast square paved with extremely hard black stone.

The figure that appeared out of thin air stood not far from everyone.

Black clothes, black hair, and heterochromatic eyes.

It immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"It's him!"

"The legend of South River City!"

"He's out!"

The crowd instantly became noisy.

"He's finally out." Stone Crusher punched his palm, his eyes burning with fervent Battle Intent.

Gao Tian asked curiously, "I wonder how much his Dao power has reached?"

"We'll know if we just ask," Stone Crusher laughed loudly, taking a step forward, causing the ground to shake.

Jiang Yan didn't speak, but his eyes flickered.

His innate intelligence and intuition vaguely gave him a guess.

The Martial Stele might not be broken, but something unexpected happened.

And... it was related to him.

So he didn't stop Stone Crusher and also wanted to know what happened inside.

Stone Crusher spoke to Jiang Yuan, his voice very loud: "Hey, Jiang Yuan, what happened inside?"

Jiang Yuan glanced at him sideways.

"Want to know?"

"Yeah!"

"Hold it in."

Stone Crusher was stunned: "⊙.⊙"

"...Huh?"

"Who are you? Are we close? Why should I tell you?" Jiang Yuan said with a strange expression.

"..."

We're not close, but do you have to be so sharp-tongued? At least I'm your senior...

Give me some Face, hey!!

Noticing the strange, suppressed laughter on the Faces of Gao Tian, Jiang Yan, and some students in the distance.

Stone Crusher: ( T﹏T ).

What the heck...

No longer paying attention to Stone Crusher, who was clenching his fists and too embarrassed to show his Face, Jiang Yuan's gaze swept over the crowd and landed on Xiao Zhiyu and Luo Xi.

Luo Xi's heart stirred slightly, her eyes filled with anticipation.

But immediately after, Jiang Yuan moved his gaze away.

Luo Xi widened her eyes, disbelieving.

The perfectly seductive goddess gritted her teeth, as if she wanted to bite him.

Didn't you see the curse on her mouth? To do nothing, really...

Xiao Zhiyu stepped forward to butter her up: "Junior Sister, let me help you."

Before he could even get close.

Luo Xi's body flashed with purple light, her mental power surged, breaking the curse's restraint.

Xiao Zhiyu's movements immediately froze.

Luo Xi said calmly, "Thank you for your kindness, Senior brother, but... it's not needed. Moreover, this is between her and me, so please, Senior brother, do not interfere without permission."

Xiao Zhiyu, whose plan was ruined, heard the coldness in her words.

He cursed inwardly, but on the surface, he still smiled and said, "Junior Sister Luo, I was just worried about you..."

"Crack!"

The dark insect shadow surrounding Lin Qingyan shattered.

Xiao Zhiyu was startled.

She could break through the illusion so quickly?!

"Whoosh!"

A crystalline, transparent light projection shot out from between Lin Qingyan's eyebrows, as clear as ice-blue crystal, transforming into a phantom image of a celestial maiden holding an immortal sword, hovering behind her head. The ice-blue mental radiance it emitted was extremely refined, enough to freeze one's spirit just by looking at it, invulnerable to evil, and too awe-inspiring to look directly at.

"Clang!"

After blocking the light projection's attack with a mental power shield.

Xiao Zhiyu narrowed his eyes and looked.

"Worried about her?"

Lin Qingyan's tone was icy, her Killing Intent directed straight at Xiao Zhiyu.

"You'd better worry about yourself."

"Who permitted you to interfere?!"

A circle of ice-blue extreme cold Domain spread from her, covering an area of a hundred meters.

[Extreme Cold Descent]

Xiao Zhiyu blocked the cold air's erosion with a mental power shield.

The next moment.

Countless giant ice spikes descended from the sky like a waterfall.

"Boom bang bang bang bang!!"

Ice shards mixed with cold air exploded and spread, forcing the crowd to constantly retreat.

After a round of attacks.

The ground was covered with ice spikes, cracks everywhere, and frost spreading.

"Hiss... such a powerful large-scale attack." Someone exclaimed.

"And the casting speed is astonishingly fast, it seems to also have piercing and armor-breaking effects."

"I feel like my S-Class [Snow Woman] talent was completely crushed. Her talent in the ice element is definitely top-tier!" A white-haired woman sighed.

"Swish swish swish."

Strands of black insect swarm gathered from all directions, re-condensing into Xiao Zhiyu's form.

"Amazing, amazing. Besides that guy Sikong in the academy, this is the first time I've seen such a powerful elemental talent."

"Your spirit has also been tempered to be extremely strong. The visualization method you Cultivate must not be ordinary. As expected of the first among the new students."

Listening to his praise.

Lin Qingyan sneered: "A frog in a well. Have you said enough?"

"Get down here."

Divine Speaker - Words Become Law.

The power of the curse transformed into terrifying gravity and descended upon Xiao Zhiyu in the air, causing him to smash violently into the ground, creating a crater on the hard obsidian ground.

Losing Face in public, and at the hands of a first-year Junior Sister at that, made Xiao Zhiyu's Face completely darken.

"Junior Sister, don't go too far, stop while you're ahead..."

"Fight! Fight! Xiao Zhiyu, you're not chickening out, are you?" Long Ci, who enjoyed watching the excitement, shouted excitedly at the top of his lungs.

Say stop while you're ahead now?

Lin Qingyan ignored him and spoke again.

"Lightning come."

Seeing the dazzling lightning light up overhead.

Xiao Zhiyu no longer dared to be careless and released a skill.

"Magic Insect Phantom Body."

The moment the thick lightning struck, his body transformed into dozens of black phantoms.

"Crackle!!"

The silver-white lightning crashed onto the ground with a rumble, like a lightning tree branching out, electric plasma splashing everywhere, instantly annihilating over a dozen phantom Clones.

It also stunned everyone present.

Jiang Yan said in surprise, "Oh? She can even summon other elements for her own use?"

Gao Tian said solemnly, "It's not ordinary Spirit Language Art. It seems like it can set rules, very powerful."

Stone Crusher laughed and said, "But that guy Xiao Zhiyu isn't that simple either. His methods are both strange and troublesome. Anyway, I don't want to fight him."

As soon as he finished speaking.

"Screech—!"

An extremely sharp insect cry tore through the sky. The powerful sound waves shattered the electric plasma, impacting in all directions like layers of waves. Besides the terrifying vibration force, it also contained sickening mental Psychokinesis, enough to shatter the mental Domains of the weak.

A crystalline ice mirror appeared before Lin Qingyan, completely blocking and absorbing the sound waves.

Immediately after, eight enormous black giant insects appeared around Lin Qingyan, flying with flapping wings, their blood-red compound eyes staring fixedly at Lin Qingyan in the center.

"Is this the rumored Xiao family's inherited illusion technique, Eight Insect Gate?" Long Ci's eyes flickered.

Pei Congyun asked curiously, "Is it very powerful?"

Long Ci nodded: "Each giant insect contains an illusion. The eight layers of illusion are intertwined. Realizing you're in an illusion is useless. Even Prefecture Lord experts find it difficult to break free."

"Whoosh!"

Xiao Zhiyu exchanged places with one of the giant insects. He stood on a black lotus, his body protected by the black shield released by the lotus, and looked at Lin Qingyan with a cold smile:

"New students are just new students. Knowing I'm a mental type Martial Artist, you still dare to be so arrogant."

"Do you think just blocking mental attacks is enough?"

"For mental type Martial Artists, illusion techniques are the trump card."

Pei Congyun sighed emotionally, "As expected of the academy's second strongest, he's indeed very powerful..."

"Aren't you going to help her?" Luo Xi suddenly asked Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan asked doubtfully, "Why?"

Luo Xi looked at him for two seconds, then suddenly smiled: "Nothing."

Inexplicable.

Jiang Yuan thought, looking at the slender figure in the air, and smiled: "She won't lose even without my help. Her strength is more than this."

Luo Xi was startled.

The next second.

A light female voice suddenly sounded in the air.

"Are you done talking?"

Xiao Zhiyu was startled.

The next moment, before him, the girl's eyes turned crystalline ice-blue, divine light flickered, and an extremely profound, majestic, and powerful pressure erupted from her.

"What?!"

Xiao Zhiyu was astonished and repelled, while the remaining seven giant insects instantly exploded!

"It's Martial Dao Will!" Gao Tian was a little shocked.

"She actually awakened a complete Martial Dao Will at the fifth stage?!"

Jiang Yan, Stone Crusher, and Long Ci were also greatly astonished.

Seeing this scene, Luo Xi, remembering Jiang Yuan's words from before, let out a cold snort, her fair, jade-like melon-seed Face slightly puffed out.

Jiang Yuan: "What's wrong?"

Luo Xi: "Nothing."

It was also 'nothing', but this sentence clearly showed she was angry, carrying a strong sense of jealousy.

Jiang Yuan shook his head.

Truly inexplicable...

Compared to her, her mother was indeed more understanding.

Thinking of this.

The beautiful figure of Luo Ningyan appeared in Jiang Yuan's mind. He wondered how she was doing...
