117: Dahonglian Binglunwan

Li Zhengcheng and Bai Mo became increasingly alarmed as they fought.

This “new student’s” strength was unbelievably high!

Not to mention the increase in his spiritual power, his spiritual power intensity was even stronger than his. If it weren't for his metal-element Blade Spirit and its powerful attack, he really wouldn't have been able to contend.

Moreover, what was most outrageous was that Bai Mo's blade techniques were solid and deeply rooted.

He didn't seem like a new student at all!

His spiritual power, needless to say, was accumulated through daily cultivation and was also linked to his talent, a result of persistent effort.

The same was true for his blade techniques.

Then there was spiritual power intensity; this also required persistent effort. While some spiritual power intensity is innate, it can also be improved later through “harmonization” with one's Blade Spirit.

This aspect depends on your Blade Spirit's talent.

Battles in the Blade Spirit World would certainly not be filled with blade skills. Apart from some minor moves, which are commonly used, others are either ultimate moves or sure-kill techniques.

No matter which one, the spiritual power consumption is enormous.

And one must also ensure they hit, otherwise... it's like missing a skill and running out of mana, which means getting hit.

Therefore, a solid foundation in blade techniques is definitely necessary.

Blade techniques combined with spiritual power result in low consumption and high lethality.

For instance, Bai Mo's significant improvement in blade techniques was due to his daily sparring with Yi Xin on the “cross-border communication platform.” Although Yi Xin used fists, all paths lead to the same destination. As a martial arts grandmaster, Yi Xin was still able to guide Bai Mo's blade techniques.

Secondly, Clarissa would also occasionally come in to spar and provide guidance.

A woman whose sword techniques were so terrifying that even Yi Xin was amazed, and she taught through practical combat.

It would be strange if Bai Mo's blade techniques didn't improve quickly.

Clang, clang, clang!

Bai Mo's Spirit Shift Step was also stronger than Li Zhengcheng's, faster and more agile.

It was also forced out of him.

Yi Xin's fists were fine, they hurt, but Clarissa's sword was truly deadly!

Moreover, Clarissa was the kind where, once her sword was out, you felt like you couldn't dodge it no matter how you tried. You could only desperately try to evade, especially with that feeling of impending death.

Under such circumstances, the “Spirit Shift Step” was truly pushed to be faster and stronger by Bai Mo.

As Li Zhengcheng fought, he knew he couldn't continue like this.

“I originally thought you were a new student, so I shouldn't bully you too much, after all, I have one more year of study than you…” Li Zhengcheng said while clashing.

“Huh?” Bai Mo was stunned for a moment. What did he mean?

Suddenly, Li Zhengcheng's left hand formed a sword-finger and swiped.

“Bind: Spiked Lock!”

Several golden triangles appeared out of thin air and instantly shot into Bai Mo's limbs.

The sudden impact carried Bai Mo backward.

Then he was pinned to the ground.

All four limbs were pinned to the ground by the golden triangles that had folded back.

Alright! Spell! Bai Mo finally understood what Li Zhengcheng's words meant.

After the second year, the explosive spiritual power growth experienced during the initial university period generally began to stabilize. Various abilities and moves also gradually settled, and the singularity of combat styles led to the development of more diverse means of dealing with enemies.

Spells, naturally, were a very good choice.

Attack, Defense, Bind, and Support are the four main types of Spells.

Most people would study 1-2 types based on their own situation.

Whether it was to supplement damage, enhance defense, add crowd control, or provide auxiliary buffs.

All were excellent choices.

In the Blade Spirit World, although the Blade Spirit is said to be primary, that only accounts for most of the power system; spiritual power is the fundamental essence of this world.

Li Zhengcheng looked at Bai Mo, who was locked down, and certainly wouldn't miss such a good opportunity. He immediately charged up his ultimate move.

Spiritual power converged on his Blade Spirit, and the golden light on “Fracture” grew even stronger.

At the same time, Li Zhengcheng also said to Bai Mo, “Not knowing Spells is your biggest weakness!”

“One Blade Cleaves the Earth!” Li Zhengcheng roared, and his blade fiercely slashed down towards Bai Mo.

Bai Mo was just about to break free from the restraint. The power of this restraint wasn't very strong, but it would still take a little time to forcefully break it with spiritual power.

However, Li Zhengcheng didn't give him that little bit of time at all.

Bai Mo would clearly not be able to dodge Li Zhengcheng's ultimate move after breaking free from the restraint, so there was no other way!

“Bankai!” Bai Mo roared, “Daiguren Hyōrinmaru!”

Boom!!!

Terrifying spiritual power erupted from Bai Mo, and the “Spiked Lock” restraining him was directly shattered.

Prism Ice Array

Three layers appeared in front of Bai Mo.

Boom!!!

Li Zhengcheng's “One Blade Cleaves the Earth” struck it.

That extremely terrifying cutting power and pure physical attack could only break through two layers of the Prism Ice Array, leaving an extremely deep crack on the third Prism Ice Array.

“What happened?!” Li Zhengcheng was pushed back two steps by the powerful spiritual pressure, looking at the changes before him with a horrified expression.

He saw Bai Mo with a pair of huge ice wings on his back and an ice tail extending from his spine all the way to his coccyx.

“This... what is this?!” Li Zhengcheng looked at Bai Mo's current appearance with a shocked expression.

The changes here also attracted the attention of many observing teachers and students.

“That's Bai Mo, right? So strong! His Spirit Language Department has changed again? Such a big improvement! Did his Blade Spirit sublimate?” some older students discussed.

“This spiritual power... it must be at least five thousand points, right?” Some people felt Bai Mo's spiritual pressure, which was much stronger than Li Zhengcheng's, indicating his spiritual power was at least five thousand!

“Ha~ The battle has just begun!” Bai Mo looked at Li Zhengcheng and said, “Although I don't know any Spells, it doesn't matter, I don't need them! This is not my weakness!”

Li Zhengcheng looked at Bai Mo's current appearance, his face a little grim. Good heavens, is Spirit Language Department really that terrifying!

He was easily defeated by Zhang Qier, who had even held the top spot for a year, completely unshakeable!

That's right, Zhang Qier had been number one since she first entered as a freshman, and it hadn't changed until now.

Countless people challenged her, but she defeated them all.

At the same time, it also made people increasingly revere the Spirit Language Department.

Now, it was Bai Mo's turn to continue expanding this reverence!

“No wonder they always say that people with the special abilities of the Spirit Language Department are ‘chosen ones’…” Li Zhengcheng thought of his countless efforts, yet the gap only widened.

People really can't be compared to each other!

Geniuses and geniuses are not the same!

Li Zhengcheng was slightly distracted for a moment, then quickly came back to his senses. The battle was still ongoing, and he had no intention of giving up easily.

Whoosh! Bai Mo suddenly disappeared from his original spot.

“Spirit Shift Step”

So fast! Li Zhengcheng's pupils slightly contracted. Bai Mo's speed was at least two or three times faster than before!
