Chapter 84: Forbidden Golden Armor! Terrifying Potential! (2)
If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they would never have imagined that one of the parties in this intense battle was actually a new student like them!
They would never expect a person could resist the power of an enchanted armament with his bare hands!
Relying on the power of the talisman sword, Peng Xinyuan rarely defended himself and focused more on attacking.
His attacks were swift and fierce. As he brandished his talisman sword, countless surging waves of fire appeared around him, like a wide-open beast’s mouth that ruthlessly devoured Lin Shen.
On the other hand, Lin Shen was dodging most of the time.
Relying on his movement technique that was clearly more exquisite than Peng Xinyuan’s, he kept dodging the attack of the sword light and fire waves.
Occasionally, when he really couldn’t withstand it, he would use Meltdown to resist the Talisman Sword’s edge.
They were in a deadlock.
As they fought, Peng Xinyuan gradually lost his Patience.
He had thought with the Three Yang Talisman Sword, defeating Lin Shen would be a piece of cake. However, Lin Shen was so difficult to deal with and had relied on his superb martial arts techniques to fight Peng Xinyuan to a draw.
At this point, Peng Xinyuan’s patience was almost exhausted, and he gradually couldn’t control his anxiety.
Swoosh!
Peng Xinyuan struck out with his sword. He thought Lin Shen would dodge like before, but unexpectedly, Lin Shen charged forward without dodging.
Seeing this, Peng Xinyuan was stunned at first, then he looked ecstatic.
“You asked for it!”
Overjoyed, Peng Xinyuan mobilized his spiritual essence without hesitation and injected it into the talisman sword.
The sharp sword instantly shone brightly, almost turning into a ball of dazzling flames. It pierced through the void like a bolt of lightning and stabbed towards Lin Shen!
Peng Xinyuan was very confident. Even with the protection of spiritual essence, this strike was enough to seriously injure Lin Shen and make him lose his combat strength, thus completely losing this battle!
Thinking of this, Peng Xinyuan couldn’t help but smile.
The surrounding spectators also let out low gasps of shock.
They couldn’t understand why Lin Shen would do such a rash thing.
If this was a real life and death battle, how was this any different from tempting fate?
Under many shocked and puzzled gazes, the flames formed by the talisman sword quickly arrived in front of Lin Shen.
However, just as the flames were about to hit Lin Shen, the latter suddenly flashed with a dark golden light!
The dark golden light was as thin as a cicada’s wing, as if it could be broken with a poke. However, when the talisman sword with blazing flames struck it, it let out a muffled sound. The tip of the sword seemed to have been hit and was unable to advance an inch.
Peng Xinyuan’s eyes widened in disbelief. He exerted his strength and stabbed fiercely. The talisman sword were pushed on both ends, and the blade instantly bent like an arc, but it couldn’t break through that thin layer of dark golden light!
“How is this possible?!”
Peng Xinyuan looked like he had seen a ghost.
What was that? It could actually block the Three Suns Talisman Sword.
Unfortunately, he didn’t have much time to be shocked or confused.
Taking advantage of this short moment, Lin Shen pounced forward and struck down with Meltdown!
In order to defeat Lin Shen in one go, Peng Xinyuan had already used 100% of his strength in that attack just now. At this moment, he had exhausted all his strength and had yet to recover. How could he have the strength to dodge and defend himself? He could only watch helplessly as Lin Shen’s palm landed on his chest and abdomen.
Thump!
Peng Xinyuan was sent flying with a muffled sound. He spat out a mouthful of blood in midair.
Phew!
As soon as the blood left his mouth, it vaporized into a blood mist that filled the sky. That was how high the temperature was.
When everyone looked at Peng Xinyuan again, they saw his chest and abdomen were already charred black. It was a tragic sight!
Thump!
Peng Xinyuan fell heavily to the ground. Before he could even say a word, his head tilted, and he lost consciousness.
The square returned to silence in the blink of an eye.
No one made a sound.
Everyone watched this scene with their mouths agape for a long time.
From the moment Lin Shen took the initiative to face the talisman sword until Peng Xinyuan fell to the ground and fainted, the whole process only lasted a few seconds.
A second ago, everyone was still puzzled by Lin Shen’s “recklessness”
and felt sorry for him. The next second, they realized Peng Xinyuan was lying on the ground motionless, obviously having lost the game.
Such a sudden change stunned many people. They stood rooted to the ground, their minds blank.
After a long while, the crowd seemed to have woken up from a dream and suddenly burst into an uproar.
“Lin Shen won?”
“Oh my god… What’s going on?”
“What was that layer of dark golden light on Lin Shen’s body just now?
A Physical Enhancement martial technique?”
“What kind of Physical Enhancement martial technique is so powerful that even the Three Yang Talisman Sword can’t injure it at all? Even the Crimson Cloud Physical Enhancement doesn’t have a such strong defense!”
Crimson Cloud Physical Enhancement was a famous Physical Enhancement martial technique in the Nine Suns Sect.
Many disciples of the Nine Yang Academy who cultivated the Physical Enhancement martial technique chose to cultivate the Crimson Cloud.
However, even at Mastery, Crimson Cloud Physical Enhancement couldn’t block the full-strength attack of an opponent of the same level with the Three Yang Talisman Sword.
Could Lin Shen have cultivated a Physical Enhancement martial technique that was even more powerful than the Crimson Cloud Physical Enhancement?
“This should be his fifth martial technique…”
“That’s right, it’s the fifth…”
“At this age, he cultivated five martial arts techniques at the same time, and all of them are quite advanced. His talent is incredible!”
“I’ve never seen such a genius!”
The senior students looked at Lin Shen in surprise.
They had thought four martial arts techniques were already powerful enough, but Lin Shen had once again surprised them. In the blink of an eye, he had revealed another powerful martial arts technique.
The senior students had cultivated for a year or two more than Lin Shen, but it didn’t change anything. Apart from the breathing technique, they had only mastered four or five martial arts techniques.
They were far inferior to Lin Shen!
Making such comparisons could be so frustrating!
In the middle of the square, Meng Dong was stunned for a long time before he slowly came back to his senses. He looked at Lin Shen with mixed emotions.
“Junior Brother Lin wins this round!”
As Meng Dong announced the results of the competition in a loud voice, the clamor in the surroundings instantly became even louder.
With Peng Xinyuan’s defeat, anyone could see the outcome of this guided battle without suspense.
Even Peng Xinyuan and Kuang Bao, two Long Breath Stage disciples, had been defeated by Lin Shen. How could the remaining seven Qi Transformation Stage disciples be Lin Shen’s match?
That was the truth. After the seven people gathered together and discussed in low voices for a moment, one of them walked out of the crowd and made the announcement.
“We admit our defeat. This time, Lin Shen… I mean, Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters won the battle!”
Wow!
The freshmen immediately burst into cheers.
Apart from a very small number of people, most of the new students felt happy from the bottom of their hearts.
After all, no one was really willing to go to the spirit mine outside the city to mine for three days.
“Good job, Lin!”
Yang Zhongyi waved his fist excitedly.
“This guy really surprises us every time!”
Su Nian nodded with a smile.
During the three consecutive matches, he thought Lin Shen was going to lose many times. Who would have thought Lin Shen would surprise him every time?
Zhao Xueying let out a long sigh of relief. She pursed her lips, and a bright smile appeared on her face.
In a corner of the crowd.
Yan Xing stood rooted to the ground in a daze.
Li Zijun and the others stood around him, looking at each other. They were all dejected and couldn’t say a word.
Not far away, Xue Feng saw this scene and mockery flashed in his eyes.
“This time, the Yan brothers went for wool and came home shorn. Not only did they fail to suppress Lin Shen, but they also became a stepping stone for Lin Shen’s reputation to soar. Hehe…”
Chong Yanhe cast a sidelong glance at Xue Feng. “You’ve been criticizing the Yan brothers since just now. Why? Do you have a grudge against those two?”
“I just don’t like them.” Xue Feng shrugged. “However, it’s true that there are some conflicts between our two families.”
Chong Yanhe nodded in understanding and didn’t ask further. Instead, he turned to look at Lin Shen, his eyes flickering.
“After today, Lin Shen’s name will definitely spread throughout the entire academy!”
Xue Feng nodded in agreement.
“That’s right. On the day he entered the academy, he defeated two Long Breath Stage disciples and led the new students to win the guided battle. This is the first time since the establishment of the academy.
What Su Liuying couldn’t do back then was done by Lin Shen.. I dare say that not only the lower house, but even the upper house will probably pay attention to Lin Shen!”
