So upon encountering their first opponent, it was a complete thrashing when they defeated them,
“Class monitor, should we slow down?” Chang Jianyi suggested.
Chang Jianyi had fair skin and could be considered a gentle person. Ordinarily, he never revealed anything about himself, leaving others to think that he was only able to be ranked among the best because he was in the same team as Lu Qianxun.
But Lu Qianxun did not think that way, because he and Chang Jianyi were selected from the same branch school. He was extremely clear of Chang Jianyi’s strength. In fact, Chang Jianyi’s judgment was rather strong, and that was an important factor in being an excellent control type Soul Master.
Amongst the Elite Junior Class students and aside from Lan Xuanyu and Qian Lei, Chang Jianyi’s Spiritual Power was ranked third, having achieved 80 points.
“Alright.” Lu Qianxun stopped. Although he was feeling anxious to obtain results, he was rational enough to listen to suggestions.
Instead, it was Ye Lingtong who was rather unhappy. “We didn’t exhaust ourselves, why not continue? It wouldn’t be too late to rest after eliminating another team, right?”
Chang Jianyi smiled. “You can’t say that. We have no clue as to how many opponents we will have to face in this maze. What if we encounter two teams at the same time? We are the strongest team among the class, what if they decide to team up and surround us? Although there is a disparity between the strength of everyone, it isn’t much. So, we should take it slow and maintain our peak state. That way, we can handle whatever situation that comes our way.”
“En, let’s listen to him. We need to be stable to ensure the top place.” Lu Qianxun made the choice. Him being the monitor of the Elite Junior Class was not just because of his strength.
Although she was still somewhat unwilling, Ye Lingtong nodded her head. “Eh, there is a pile of rubble there and it’s a dead end, we should rest over there.”
Lu Qianxun and Chang Jianyi followed her finger and saw that the path ahead had a pile of rubble.
“Alright, let’s head over.”
Behind the rubble.
Lan Xuanyu, Qian Lei, and Liu Feng looked at each other. They were not far from the crossroad and heard everything that Lu Qianxun and his team had discussed.
What kind of luck is that?
To encounter the strongest opponents while skiving. It truly is…
Although Liu Feng and Qian Lei had the utmost confidence in themselves, or more accurately speaking, in Lan Xuanyu. The enemy was Lu Qianxun! Lu Qianxun, who was almost at the 20th rank. In terms of soul power cultivation, it was many times higher than theirs. And there was Ye Lingtong and Chang Jianyi.
In a three against three battle, the two were slightly afraid.
But the three continued to move closer towards them cautiously.
What do we do?
Lan Xuanyu took a deep breath, then pointed both index fingers at Qian Lei and outlined the form of a door, indicating for him to begin his summoning. He then turned to Liu Feng and nodded his head.
Golden and silver patterned Blue Silver Grass blossomed out from his hands at the same time and wrapped around them.
Since they could no longer hide, they would have to fight!
Qian Lei did not dare delay and immediately unleashed his coin of summoning and quickly began the summon.
The Gate of Summoning appeared once again as Lan Xuanyu grabbed onto the door structure with his hand covered in the silver patterned Blue Silver Grass to strengthen the summon.
On the other hand, Liu Feng unleashed the White Dragon Spear and received Lan Xuanyu’s support, opening the eyes of the dragon.
Lu Qianxun and his team approached just as the Gate of Summoning was completed.
Right there and then, a familiar voice came out from within the Gate of Summoning.
“Not free!”
Lan Xuanyu, Liu Feng, and Qian Lei were instantly petrified. On the other side of the rubble, Lu Qianxun, Ye Lingtong, and Chang Jianyi naturally heard the voice and immediately stopped in their tracks.
Not free… what a good time to be busy…
The voice naturally belonged to Dong Qianqiu. What could be more dependable than summoning Dong Qianqiu, who was above the 20th rank? They believed that they had a better chance of victory fighting four against three.
But Dong Qianqiu’s simple reply of being busy had instead ruined their situation. Much less a sneak attack, they were completely exposed. And the failed summon meant that Qian Lei was crippled.
The initial plan of four against three had immediately turned to a two against three.
Lu Qianxun’s eyes lit up as a rumbling sound came from his throat. His entire body increased in size as a yellow soul ring surged from beneath his feet. His hair immediately turned golden as well.
Golden Lion King! That was his spirit
His increase in size granted him the size of a full-grown adult. He ran forward and smashed into the rubble while throwing out two punches.
Ye Lingtong released her Celestial Dragon spirit as well as her Celestial Body and followed close behind.
Having gone through training and coordinating for three months, Ye Lingtong knew what to do upon Lu Qianxun’s initiation.
They were unsure of the situation on the other side and thus decided to smash into the rubble into projectiles as weapons to suppress the other party.
On the other side, Lan Xuanyu immediately sensed the unexpected turn of events and reacted. He pulled Liu Feng and threw him upwards. Using the strength bestowed unto him by the golden patterned Blue Silver Grass in his right hand, Liu Feng flew over the rubble and almost reached the top. Lan Xuanyu immediately wielded the large battle ax after throwing him and lifted it upwards.
“Bang—”
The rocks flung towards him were knocked away by the battle ax. Liu Feng shot down like a bolt of lightning from midair.
His attack was not targeted at Lu Qianxun or Ye Lingtong but directly at Chang Jianyi who was standing behind.
Liu Feng and Lan Xuanyu knew that their chances in the two against three match up were extremely low. Lu Qianxun was not just anybody. They had to get rid of one first.
It could be said that Liu Feng had put in all of his power that had been strengthened by the gold patterned Blue Silver Grass into this attack.
Chang Jianyi only saw a white light descending when the White Dragon Spear appeared in front of him.
But Chang Jianyi’s soul ring instantly erupted as well.
How could a boy that was able to be part of the strongest Elite Junior Class team be ordinary?
A faint human figure appeared behind Chang Jianyi that resembled him but was extremely stiff. A faint white halo of light blossomed from the figure and instantly protected Chang Jianyi’s front.
Liu Feng suddenly felt everything before him turn slow. Although this was broken by the White Dragon Spear’s roar, it gave Chang Jianyi sufficient time to react.
Chang Jianyi avoided the fatal strike aimed towards his head and took half a step out. In the next moment, the White Dragon Spear stabbed right through his shoulder and pinned him onto the ground.
It hurts!
Although the pain in the test had been calibrated to be 5% of the actual pain, the stab through the shoulder was not weak. It was so painful that it caused tears in Chang Jianyi’s eyes.
Liu Feng was about to unleash another attack when he heard a thunderous roar behind him.
“Roar—”
The ground started to quake as Liu Feng’s mind buzzed into a blank. Even with Lan Xuanyu’s golden patterned Blue Silver Grass’ strength amplification, his vision went dark and he almost failed to pull out the White Dragon Spear.
Golden Lion Roar!
Lu Qianxun’s first soul skill!
The Golden Lion King was Lu Qianxun’s extremely strong spirit and was a true peak grade spirit. Although the strengthening of the meridians was not as strong as dragon or phoenix type spirits, the Golden Lion King was considered the strongest amongst the lion type spirits. It was an existence that an ordinary dragon type spirit could not compare to.
Inside the long and narrow path, the Golden Lion Roar’s power was amplified immensely.
Liu Feng’s Spiritual Power was not overpowered to begin with and was immediately affected as he stopped in his tracks and groaned in pain.
On the other hand, Qian Lei hugged his head with his hands and knelt down in pain. His Spiritual Power was strong, but the Golden Lion Roar was not only a Spiritual attack but a powerful soundwave attack. It was impossible for him to endure it.
In that instant, Liu Feng and Qian Lei had lost their ability to fight.
