Chapter 134: Frustration Came Fast (2)

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Lin Shen’s expression was still calm.

On the other hand, Yan Dao was shocked.

Supreme Yang Swordplay!

Furthermore, it was a Perfection-stage Supreme Yang Swordplay!

Yan Dao’s pupils contracted slightly.

He had fought many times with an Earth-rank disciple who had reached Mastery in the Supreme Yang Swordplay and was quite familiar with it.

As for Lin Shen’s attack just now, the ferocity of the sword aura had far exceeded that Earth-rank disciple!

Without a doubt, Lin Shen’s Supreme Yang Swordplay had already reached Perfection!

Yan Dao gritted his teeth and charged at Lin Shen again.

Lin Shen also raised his sword to meet the attack without hesitation.

In the blink of an eye, the two sides engaged in a fierce battle in the middle of the high platform. As swords and sabers clashed, the sound of metal clashing resonated.

In terms of cultivation, Yan Dao, who was at Level 7 of the Long Breath Stage, was a level higher than Lin Shen.

If it was any other opponent, this difference in cultivation was enough to determine the outcome!

Unfortunately, this didn’t work with Lin Shen.

Yan Dao had reached Perfection in Spirit Burning Cloud Saber, and Lin Shen had reached Perfection in Supreme Yang Swordplay.

Yan Dao had reached Perfection in Moving Star Steps, while Lin Shen’s Shadows had also reached Perfection.

Furthermore, Lin Shen had reached Perfection in Forbidden Golden Armor!

The powerful defense brought about by the Perfection-stage Forbidden Golden Armor and the Bind Yang Gown meant Lin Shen had no need to invest too much energy in defense. He focused on launching a fierce attack on his opponent.

On the other hand, although Yan Dao was also wearing the Bind Yang Gown, he didn’t dare to receive the Six Yang Talisman Sword head-on like Lin Shen did. He couldn’t fight as freely as he wanted.

As time passed, he was actually in a rather sorry state.

Seeing this scene, the spectators fell into a strange silence.

No one expected the battle situation to develop like this. Yan Dao, who had a higher cultivation level, was actually at a disadvantage.

If it weren’t for the fact that it was happening right in front of their eyes, they wouldn’t have believed such a ridiculous thing!

Bai Xiaotong and Zheng Weirong looked at each other with a strange looks in their eyes.

Just now, Yan Dao was still sneering at the Physical Enhancement martial arts technique and boasting shamelessly that cultivating it was an extremely thankless task. Who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, he would be beaten to a pulp by Lin Shen with the Physical Enhancement martial arts technique? The humiliation came too soon!

Yan Dao seemed to have noticed the surprised gazes around him. His face turned red, and he felt extremely embarrassed.

He had just made a bold statement, but in the blink of an eye, he was beaten into such a sorry state. This was no less than a great humiliation to Yan Dao, who had always thought highly of himself.

In his anger, he desperately circulated his spiritual essence into the weapon in his hand, creating even more surging flames to attack Lin Shen!

Those who could become Earth-rank disciples were all experienced in combat.

Despite the disadvantageous situation, Yan Dao quickly thought of a way to win.

Since he couldn’t compete in martial techniques, he would use his cultivation level as an advantage!

The higher one’s cultivation level was, the higher the quality and quantity of one’s spiritual essence.

In terms of spiritual essence, he didn’t think Lin Shen would be his match.

Activating an enchanted armament consumed a lot of spiritual essences. As long as he exhausted Lin Shen’s spiritual essence, Lin Shen would lose the benefits of the Six Yang Talisman Sword and would be at his mercy!

Lin Shen immediately sensed something amiss from the change in his opponent’s attack. After thinking for a moment, he understood and couldn’t help but smile.

“In terms of spiritual essence, I indeed don’t have much of an advantage. Unfortunately, I don’t plan to continue playing this game with you.”

After exchanging blows with Yan Dao, Lin Shen had a rough understanding of his strength after the breakthrough.

Without any talent, he was powerful enough to defeat opponents at the seventh level of the Long Breath Stage.

He could even put up a fight against someone at the eighth Level of the Long Breath Stage!

And if he used his talent…

Lin Shen’s eyes flickered, and he instantly switched to Pure Yang Body.

In the next second, Yan Dao felt that the power of Lin Shen’s sword technique had suddenly increased by a large margin!

The blazing sword energy and surging flames suddenly grew stronger, almost suffocating people.

“What happened?”

Yan Dao was shocked.

Why did Lin Shen’s strength suddenly increase so much?

However, the intense battle didn’t give him much time to think.

The Pure Yang Body had the effect of Yang attribute martial technique’s power +100%, and the power of Lin Shen’s Supreme Yang Swordplay reached an extremely terrifying level.

The surrounding disciples quickly realized that something was wrong.

On the high platform, the heat wave and fire cloud were originally evenly matched, but the former suddenly grew stronger, suppressing the latter in the blink of an eye.

Just as everyone was bewildered, they heard a scream filled with pain. A figure broke through the fire cloud and fell heavily to the ground with a bang.

Everyone quickly took a closer look. It was Yan Dao.

At this moment, he was in an extremely sorry state. There were sword wounds all over his body, but the wounds were burned by the high temperature, so no blood flowed out.

Even so, it was a shocking sight!

Swoosh!

An air-piercing sound rang out as Lin Shen appeared in front of Yan Dao like a ghost. He raised his arm slightly and pointed the tip of his sword at Yan Dao’s throat.

Looking at the cold sword tip in front of him, Yan Dao turned extremely pale.

No one made a sound.

Everyone looked at the scene in front of them in a daze. Their mouths were agape for a long time.

After a long while, an uproar broke out in the crowd.

“Lin Shen won?!”

“Unbelievable, he actually succeeded in the challenge!”

“Damn, that’s unbelievable!”

Everybody cried out in surprise.

Shock, disbelief, admiration, astonishment… All kinds of gazes focused on Lin Shen.

At this moment, Lin Shen undoubtedly became the center of the entire square.

“Senior Brother Yan has lost…”

Zheng Weirong seemed to be in a daze, and he still couldn’t recover from his shock.

Although he had long felt that Yan Dao’s situation wasn’t good, when Yan Dao was really defeated in front of him, he felt like he was dreaming.

After all, a disciple who had just entered the academy for three months had taken the initiative to challenge an Earth-rank disciple and had even succeeded. This sounded unbelievable!

Bai Xiaotong’s eyes were sparkling as she stared at Lin Shen’s back with admiration.

Even Ai Jingting was a little dazed. She looked at Lin Shen in a daze, not knowing what to think.

In a corner of the square, the tutors sighed.

“This young man is very talented!”

“That’s right. To become an Earth-rank disciple in three months, this is the first time I’ve seen it in so many years.”

“Speaking of which, Master Si has a good eye. When Master Si promoted Lin Shen to a Black-rank disciple, 1 actually had objections. 1 didn’t expect Lin Shen to guard his position, but also take another step forward!”

Listening to his colleagues’ exclamations, Ke Ya also had a complicated expression.

He never expected Lin Shen to reach this far.

Back when Su Liuying was in the academy, he was publicly acknowledged as a peerless genius that only appeared once in a hundred years.

Even so, it took Su Liuying nearly a year to advance to an Earth-rank disciple.

In comparison, Lin Shen was undoubtedly better than Su Liuying!

“A true genius…”

A strange glint flashed across Ke Ya’s eyes.

After the challenge ended, Lin Shen successfully advanced to an Earth-rank disciple.

Under countless astonished gazes, he calmly walked down the platform.

As expected, Yang Zhongyi and Su Nian looked at him in amazement.

“Although I’ve already guessed it, you’re still shocked!” Yang Zhongyi sighed.

Su Nian asked directly, “Lin Shen, what level are you now?”

Lin Shen didn’t hide it and said honestly, “Level 6.”

Yang Zhongyi and Su Nian immediately took a deep breath and looked shocked.

In three months, he had advanced from Level 1 to Level 6. That speed was simply unbelievable!

However, Yang Zhongyi and Su Nian quickly regained their composure.

Ever since they met, Lin Shen had shocked them repeatedly. Now, they were already a little numb.

Even if Lin Shen suddenly told them a few months later that he had broken through to the Bright Aperture Stage, they would probably not be too surprised.

After Lin Shen, no one else went on stage to challenge him. The Earth-rank disciple rank challenge immediately ended.

The Heaven-rank disciple challenge was held the next day.

Lin Shen didn’t go to watch it because the sixth clone had already been formed..
