82: The shock of white ink

Thinking of this, Bai Mo couldn't help but look at the door of the cultivation room Wen Yu had entered.

He had finished his cultivation early because he bought something from the system and was sitting in the Akatsuki Organization's meeting room.

Looking at the time, everyone should be coming out of cultivation soon, right?

Sure enough, not long after, Wen Yu, Zhang Ling, and Lin Qiaoqiao emerged from the cultivation room.

Lin Qiaoqiao was currently in third place. After learning that Wen Yu, Bai Mo, and Zhang Ling were all part of a “club,” and that this club was founded by the strongest freshman from the previous year, Zhang Qier, she decided to join.

She actively sought out Zhang Qier and, after a series of assessments, successfully joined the “Akatsuki Organization.”

Now, the 1st, 3rd, 4th, and 5th ranked students were all in one club.

This made the name of the “Akatsuki Organization” increasingly famous in Beiling Academy.

“Hmm? You’re out so early today!” Wen Yu saw Bai Mo already sitting there, seemingly having been there for quite some time.

“Yes!” Bai Mo nodded, “That… recently I feel my strength has improved a bit… I want to…”

“You want to spar with me, right?” Wen Yu said, smiling at Bai Mo, directly finishing his sentence.

“Hahaha~ Wen Yu, you really understand me!” Bai Mo said, laughing and nodding.

“Alright! Let’s go~ We’ll head to the training ground.” Wen Yu smiled, her ears slightly flushed. The training ground had a “private” nature, meaning it wouldn't be observed by outsiders, but such “private” access required spending academic credits.

However, everyone had some academic credits in their hands now. With the monthly rewards, and the many club missions they had completed in the past two months, they had naturally earned a lot of academic credits.

In addition, the cultivation resources provided by the Akatsuki Organization allowed them to save most of their academic credits.

The Akatsuki Organization’s wealth and power were envied by many, and countless people wanted to join it.

Unfortunately, Zhang Qier and Wen Yu had very high standards.

“Let’s go, let’s go! We also want to see what breakthroughs Bai Mo has made, to dare challenge Sister Wen Yu!” Zhang Ling said with great interest in her eyes, even more excited than the people involved.

Lin Qiaoqiao had only joined a few days ago and wasn't entirely comfortable yet. She smiled faintly from the side: “I hope you don’t mind if I watch too?”

“No problem! Then let’s all go together!” Wen Yu nodded.

Everyone went to the training ground together.

They “booked” a private venue, which cost 10 academic credits per hour.

Everyone was watching from the sidelines, while Bai Mo and Wen Yu stood facing each other in the center of the arena.

“Hmph! Let me see what progress you’ve made, little Bai, to dare spar with me~” Wen Yu stood there smiling with her arms crossed, her uniform stretched taut.

“You’ll be greatly surprised!” Bai Mo said confidently, then stretched out his hand, and Crystal Ice appeared in his grasp.

“Hmph! I’ll be waiting!” Wen Yu lowered her hand, and a Blade Spirit also materialized in her hand—a purple Blade Spirit, exuding an aura of mystery and nobility. Its hilt and other parts had purple patterns, and the blade itself was a purple gradient, making it very dazzling.

This was Wen Yu’s Blade Spirit: Thunder Might Divine Light.

“Be careful! My Spirit Language Department now has a new form transformation!” Bai Mo said.

“Eh?!” Wen Yu looked at Bai Mo with some surprise, as did the others. “Spirit Language Department also has other changes?”

Everyone had gained considerable research and understanding of Spirit Language Department through Bai Mo and Zhang Qier.

They had never heard of Bai Mo’s current situation!

The special abilities in the Blade Spirit World were myriad and diverse; even the same type of thing might have different variations or internal characteristics.

Everyone understood in their hearts that this situation was good for Bai Mo.

After all, it was equivalent to having an extra trump card. As long as the enemy didn't understand your ability, you had an advantage.

Information advantage was no small advantage!

Of course, this was useless against the protagonist! Why? Haven’t you seen that enemies whose abilities are figured out are always utterly defeated by the protagonist?

But even if the protagonist uses one or a few moves from beginning to end, even if everyone knows them, they still can't defeat the protagonist!

For example, someone who rubs balls, someone who carries a big cleaver, someone from a certain constellation...

Bai Mo suddenly felt a bit embarrassed to speak.

“What’s wrong?” Wen Yu looked at Bai Mo’s suddenly “constipated” expression.

“Nothing!” Bai Mo shook his head, “Let’s begin!”

Then, gritting his teeth: “Dance! Sleeve of White Snow!”

He only realized now, belatedly, that this ability might be meant for women, right?

Clang! Snowflakes fluttered!

The Blade Spirit in Bai Mo’s hand transformed.

“Oh!?“ Wen Yu saw the transformation of Bai Mo’s Blade Spirit; it also appeared to be an ice-element color, but this Blade Spirit’s color was whiter, while the previous one was more ice-blue.

“What a beautiful Blade Spirit!” Wen Yu’s eyes sparkled as she looked at Bai Mo, especially at the long, ribbon-like strip at the end of the Blade Spirit.

“……” Hearing Wen Yu’s words, Bai Mo’s expression darkened slightly.

“Fight, fight! Don’t worry about these minor details!” Bai Mo said, then immediately activated the Ice and Snow Domain.

Centered on Bai Mo, a pure white world slowly expanded.

“Hmm?!” Wen Yu looked at the Ice and Snow Domain and said with some surprise, “Is this the effect of your new ability?”

“Hmm… barely so!” Bai Mo didn't reveal that this new ability of the Ice and Snow Domain was one of his special abilities.

Since it was considered one of his Spirit Language Department abilities, that was fine too! This reason was good for everyone.

Wen Yu took a deep look at Bai Mo, then smiled and said, “You have a domain, and so do I~”

Thunder Might Divine Light.

A special ability with the same name as Wen Yu’s Blade Spirit.

A domain of lightning unfolded.

Bang!

Their domains collided.

Wen Yu, whose spiritual power was over 200 points higher than Bai Mo’s, was almost evenly matched with him in terms of domain power!

“Oh?!” Wen Yu looked at the equally matched domain confrontation with some surprise.

She hadn't expected Bai Mo to be able to contend with her domain?

“Little Bai, how much spiritual power do you have now?” Wen Yu asked.

“728 points!” Bai Mo didn’t hide this.

“???”

“???”

Not only was Wen Yu full of questions, but Zhang Ling and Lin Qiaoqiao, who were watching the battle, were even more confused.

728 points?!

No, isn’t your spiritual power talent only B-rank? Even with resources, how can your growth rate be so fast!?

Everyone uses the same resources! Did you secretly get some incredible treasure funded by your rich patron?

However, seeing Wen Yu equally shocked, that possibility also became invalid.

Zhang Ling was even more on the verge of tears. Is this the difference between a genius and an ordinary person?!

I have A-rank spiritual power talent, and I’m only at 495 points now, not even five hundred, but Bai Mo, with B-rank talent, is already over seven hundred points!

This is unreasonable!

And Lin Qiaoqiao, with Double S-rank, found it even harder to understand. Good heavens! She hadn't been slacking off in her cultivation either! In fact, with everyone competing intensely, she had been working very hard, right! And cultivation resources had never been cut off!

She was only at 821 points now, so why was he only a little bit less than her?
