154: Can you please respect me? I am your opponent! (3000 words plus more!)

The referee, seeing her heroic demeanor, pure and sunny disposition, and full confidence, unconsciously smiled, "Alright, Hidden Fox General, what do you think?"

Tang Gao shrugged, "I'm fine with anything."

The destructive power of a mere First Order Cultivator, even if she possessed the Celestial Spirit Saint Body, meant her future was promising.

Seeing that Tang Gao had no objections, the referee understood that with Tang Gao's strength, no accidents would occur.

Of course, if an accident did happen, there were Eight-Order Great Powers present who could rescue someone even if they died on the spot.

Tang Gao stood in the center of the stage, looking at Xu Ling'er curiously, "What kind of move is it? You're being so secretive."

Xu Ling'er was full of confidence, raising her chin proudly, "Make sure you have ice resistance ready; be careful not to hurt you later! This move of mine is really powerful!"

Tang Gao scratched his head, "My ice resistance is pretty good; feel free to attack."

Even though he hadn't improved his ice resistance in a long time.

But, if he remembered correctly.

He had last evolved his ice resistance to the point where he could withstand Leng Yue, a Fourth Order Cultivator.

Dealing with Xu Ling'er's moves would be no problem.

Xu Ling'er confidently extended both hands, "I am the Celestial Spirit Saint Body! A descendant of the Winter Battle General! And I have the blessing of the Snow Mountain Nature Spirit, so be careful!"

This was both a boast and a reminder to Tang Gao that her upcoming move was not simple.

Tang Gao tried his best to appear serious and cautious, his expression calm as he grumbled, "I'm so scared, hurry up and kill me."

What was she doing, being all mysterious?

A vein throbbed on Xu Ling'er's forehead as she gritted her teeth, "Can you please show me some respect? I'm your opponent."

Tang Gao rolled his eyes, "I know, hurry up, my ice resistance is ready."

Xu Ling'er saw that he had not even a hint of Battle Qi or Spell fluctuations, puffed out her cheeks angrily, and directly cast a Spell, "Winter Demon Sealing Art!"

A circle of ice-blue Formations lit up beneath Tang Gao's feet, about a dozen meters in diameter, surrounding him in the center and releasing terrifying ice fluctuations—relative to those of the same order.

Tang Gao was surprised, "What a powerful Spell!"

You really can't deny it, Xu Ling'er's talent is indeed strong, and her diligence far surpasses her peers; she can Dual Cultivate both body and magic while also excelling in Formation assistance, she truly has some skills.

The next second, the Formation spewed out a frozen white light, and in an instant, Tang Gao was turned into a human ice sculpture. The temperature of the entire venue also dropped to minus ten degrees Celsius, with white ice Qi spreading across the floor, temporarily altering the surrounding casting environment.

Xu Ling'er proudly raised her chin, her eyes bright and sparkling, "Fast casting! Powerful effect! And it can freeze enemies, I'm truly awesome!!!"

Ten Formations, nine men; Xu Ling'er suffered a lot while Cultivating Formations.

Many devices were designed according to male specifications, which was very unfriendly to women; even the torque of twisting bottle caps was designed according to male defaults.

This wasn't intentional discrimination, but in the Formation industry, most practitioners were male, and few women were willing to join such a tedious profession.

Additionally, during testing, most of the debugging was done by men themselves, and few women were willing to actively undertake such dangerous work, which led to the current state of equipment and tools.

After all, with so few women joining this industry, anything involving female use would definitely affect efficiency.

Xu Ling'er spent a lot of effort, breaking through various limitations, not only designing her own ice-based Seal Formation but also optimizing and sharing a set of Formation tutorials suitable for girls to learn.

This was pure effort, sincere and enthusiastic sharing, and proud achievement.

Xu Ling'er looked at the ice sculpture, hands on hips, proudly laughing, "Little Gao! You can't break it, can you! Haha, that's what you get for underestimating me!"

This is my Dual Cultivation of body and magic, plus Formation assistance, combined with the special effects of multiple blessing visions!

The ice sculpture tilted its head, then directly jumped up and performed a Thomas 360-degree rotation in mid-air, followed by a mid-air split, before landing steadily on the floor and giving Xu Ling'er a peace sign.

Xu Ling'er's eyes instantly turned red with anger, and her nose felt sore, "...Damn it, but your mouth is sealed too! I definitely won a little!"

Tang Gao patted his head, shattering the ice on it, and grumbled, "It might work against Second and Third Order Cultivators, but it's too naive to use against me; this is completely useless."

Xu Ling'er's eyes were crimson, "I even have a Spell-sealing effect!!!"

Tang Gao hesitated, then extended his hand and instantly cast a large fireball Spell, silently watching her.

Theoretically speaking, there is a Spell-sealing effect.

Practically speaking, sorry, I have 20% immunity to negative effects, plus my evolution bar is off the charts, so this little Spell-sealing effect is completely negligible.

Xu Ling'er was so angry she cried, extending both hands towards him, "I have one more move! Just you wait!"

Tang Gao wasn't flustered and stood still, waiting.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!"

The ice on Tang Gao's body instantly erupted into numerous ice spikes, thrusting outwards, dense ice-blue spikes that made people gasp.

Tang Gao's eyes lit up, "This is very creative!!!"

Xu Ling'er, with red eyes and a sniffle, said, "This move of mine, combined with acupuncture, even a Third Order Cultivator can't defend against it!!!"

She didn't want to cry, but when she felt wronged, tears just wouldn't stop falling.

Xu Ling'er was annoyed at this about herself, but couldn't change it.

Tang Gao pondered for a moment, then subtly released a tiny bit of his terrifying mana pool Aura.

No technique, just raw power.

Unpretentious numerical strength.

The ice on his body melted into vapor in the blink of an eye, and layers of fine Zhou Tian protective shields covered every inch of Tang Gao's body, preventing any external force from harming him.

Tang Gao clapped his hands, saying earnestly, "If it were anyone else, this move of yours would cause a Third Order Cultivator to suffer greatly.

However, if your target is me, then you must know that even without relying on my physical body or resistances, merely relying on my own cultivation energy fluctuations is enough to block most attacks."

Even setting aside external enhancements, just by relying on his own continuous Cultivation 24 hours a day, Xu Ling'er would have to expend eighty percent of her mana and force herself to abandon passive Spell defense, otherwise this move wouldn't even harm him.

You, Xu Ling'er, are very diligent.

I am even more diligent.

Xu Ling'er tried hard not to cry, but her eyes were already red, and her nose was stuffy.

Xu Ling'er held back her tears, walked over, and extended her hand, "You are very strong, but I will work even harder. I will surpass you one day."

Talent + diligence + ingenious creativity + three layers of special attributes, yet in the end, it didn't even scratch Tang Gao's fur, and the restrictive effects didn't even take hold.

This made her mentality explode and feel very sad.

Xu Ling'er believed she had worked very hard, and losing was a huge blow, but she was definitely not someone who couldn't handle defeat.

Tang Gao extended his hand, shook hers, and earnestly encouraged, "Your creativity is very strong. If you deepen it, cross-order combat won't be difficult for you."

For Xu Ling'er, this was a great achievement.

However, objectively speaking, he was indeed more abnormal.

For him, cross-order combat was already a basic, everyday operation, not even an achievement anymore.

"Wuwuwuwu... I'm so sad, I lost, I'm going to cry for a while, wuwuwu..."

She was completely broken by the sincere encouragement.

The more sincere Tang Gao spoke, the more Xu Ling'er broke down.

Lies are just illusions; truth is a sharp knife.

How does this monster Cultivate, wuwuwu, I will also strive to Cultivate to the standard of 24 hours a day in the future.

Xu Ling'er, with red eyes, didn't even wait for the score, directly covered her face and ran off the stage to find a place to cry.

The gap was too big, so big that it saddened this Genius.

The referee looked at him speechlessly, "How did you manage to be so fierce, kid?"

Tang Gao's Dual Cultivation of body and magic was not surprising; it was a basic operation for a Genius.

Everyone Dual Cultivates body and magic, but look at this ice Genius with the Celestial Spirit Saint Body; she was directly crushed to tears.

Tang Gao shrugged, "Ten parts diligence plus ten parts talent, plus nine hundred eighty parts cheating."

Diligence is amazing, and having talent and being very diligent is even more amazing.

Having cheats, talent, and being very diligent, I ask you, are you scared or not?

The referee looked at him enviously, then flipped through the list, "Next up, Tang Gao... Oh, you're next.

Hidden Fox General, what is your topic?"

Tang Gao showed a warm, harmless smile, "I'll just perform a simple Aura display. Oh, by the way, please notify the audience to raise the defensive Formation; I'm afraid I might scare everyone."

The referee was stunned for a moment. You are a Genius, that's true, but you are indeed a low-order Cultivator. You want to raise the defensive Formation of the playground? Will the commotion be that big?

The referee hesitated for a moment, but finally picked up the walkie-talkie to notify the main stage.

Both for public and private reasons, if it was a student's reasonable request, and this one was even an honorary battle general, raising it was completely fine.

Soon, a teacher on the main stage operated it, raising the protective Formation for the audience.

Tang Gao glanced at it, still a bit uneasy, and reminded, "Have the students and teachers on the playground evacuate, teacher. You should also evacuate; I'm afraid I might accidentally kill you too."

The referee looked at him speechlessly, "What do you mean 'accidentally kill me too'?"

I know you definitely have some skills that could threaten me when you get serious.

But saying it like that really hurts my feelings.

Tang Gao chuckled, "Don't disbelieve me, hurry up and get down. It's my time to show off."

The referee was speechless again, then notified the entire field to evacuate, leaving the stage to Tang Gao alone.

On the main stage, everyone's gazes turned towards him.

In the audience, all the new students, teachers, parents, and media also focused their attention on Tang Gao, this conspicuous person.

Tang Gao saw everyone's attention on him, revealed a brilliant smile, and waved, "Everyone, prepare yourselves, I'm about to show off."

The entire venue erupted in lively laughter; everyone was amused by the young man's brilliant smile and his pure, unpretentious demeanor.

Everyone was looking forward to what interesting display this bright and sunny super Genius would bring to shock them.

"My performance is very simple, just pure Evil Qi. Don't be afraid, I'm a good person."

Tang Gao said with a brilliant and gentle smile.

The laughter in the venue grew louder; everyone was amused, thinking the super Genius was truly interesting and his joke was hilarious.

No one believed an eighteen-year-old sunny young man could possess any terrifying Evil Qi.

They only thought this super Genius might have developed a new, fresh way to use Evil Qi.

On the main stage, Li Nezha covered his face, not daring to look at the upcoming scene.

He still remembered that when Tang Gao's karma was tested, killing over a thousand people only resulted in faint streaks of blood.

Tang Gao's test jade tablet had turned completely red.

The principal was surprised, "Why are you covering your face?"

Li Nezha directly manifested six arms, using three pairs of hands to cover his face, "The scene is too beautiful, I dare not look."

Principal: "?"

A simple question mark, infinite questions.
