“That was terrifying. I nearly had my neck bitten off.”
Chen Mobai stood up, touching his neck area. His initially calm eyes started to sharpener.
Having fought through numerous games of Magic Duel like a child’s play, he found it difficult to adjust again when facing a sudden life and death fight.
“Don’t worry, I won’t kill you. The Snake Fangs will release toxins in your neck at the moment they pierce you, numbing you.”
Although Gong Xiangyu disdained Chen Mobai, he maintained his sanity.
A Magic Duel is just a Duel. If he genuinely killed his opponent by accident, his brilliant life would be tainted by an ignominious stain.
“Oh, in that case, I should thank you.”
Chen Mobai moved his neck a bit. His right hand reached out, a Spirit Talisman was already in his fingertips.
Water Sword Talisman!
Having watched all of Chen Mobai’s previous five rounds of Magic Duels, Gong Xiangyu became intimately familiar with all the talismans Chen Mobai had used. He even devised a way to break each talisman.
Upon seeing the talisman Chen Mobai held, he recognized it and adopted the tactic he remembered.
Hiss hiss hiss!
A strange sound resembling a spirit snake hissing rang across the dueling stage. The airflow around started to distort convolutedly, gradually forming a semi-transparent giant snake shadow surrounding Chen Mobai with Gong Xiangyu at the center.
Humm!
Just as the semi-transparent giant snake opened its transparent mouth to strike Chen Mobai, a rain of green Spirit Qi Long Arrows appeared in the void.
Amidst the continuous thud sounds.
Six arrow-shaped Spiritual Energies, like spears falling from the sky, accurately struck the semi-transparent giant snake’s mouth, head, neck, heart, abdomen, tail that was charging at Chen Mobai.
“This guy, what a trickster.”
Gong Xiangyu glanced at the Water Sword Talisman held between Chen Mobai’s right fingers. He immediately realized that talisman wasn’t activated.
His focus was drawn by the action, leading him to make a hasty and wrong decision.
“Now comes this talisman.”
After activating the Green Arrow Talisman in his left hand behind his back, Chen Mobai channeled Spiritual Power to the Water Sword Talisman in his right hand. A reel of clear water was condensed to form a sword. With a swing of his fingers, he sent the snake’s head, held back by the green Spiritual Energy Long Arrows, flying with one strike.
The power of the Water Sword Talisman has yet to dissipate. Chen Mobai opened his mouth, activated Cold Ice Technique, froze and strengthened the transparent water sword in his palm, and then flicked his fingers.
In the cracking sound-
Gong Xiangyu exploded with the powerful spiritual energy of the ninth level of Qi Cultivation. He forcibly withdrew his Spiritual Control and broke free from the Green Arrow Talisman’s Spirit Qi Long Arrows.
At that moment, the lost Cold Ice Water Sword shot straight at Gong Xiangyu’s forehead between his eyes, emanating a bright Bai Guang, like a divine sword from the heavens.
“This guy, is he trying to kill me!”
Gong Xiangyu was furious, regretting his earlier decision to hold back.
Applying two Godspeed Talismans on his legs, his entire body, accompanied by afterimages, quickly retreated three meters back.
With a “thunk” sound!
After losing the target, the Cold Ice Water Sword went straight through the dueling stage, leaving only the hilt on the stone’s surface.
“Is the Water Sword Talisman this sharp?”
Below the stage, many students were taken aback watching this scene.
The Water Sword Talisman is known for its ability to control its dissipation and concentrate like a soft whip.
While it could leave a mark on stones using this talisman, cutting through like tofu was entirely another level of power, just like what Chen Mobai did.
“The combination of spells and talismans, this young man may have a weaker cultivation level, but when it comes to duel awareness, he’s likely the top of his class.”
The man in the red robe sitting in the commentary stand quietly nodded as he watched this.
“It looks like this battle won’t be one-sided.”
The representatives from the Daoist Academy who were originally just idly watching, were now fully engaged.
There were even Daoist Academy representatives evaluating Chen Mobai’s battle consciousness, his mastery of spells, pondering how they could recruit him if his scores weren’t enough.
The representatives of the last several academies in the top ten rankings even stood up, directly coming to the edge of the platform.
But at this moment, Chen Mobai found himself in a tough fight.
Gong Xiangyu’s Godspeed Talisman was of exceptional quality, and it seemed he had also used another powerful talisman. His right hand was suddenly covered in a layer of fine scales, and his eyes had transformed into vertical pupils.
Boom!
A spray of water erupted from Chen Mobai’s right abdomen, a reaction produced from his Water Elemental Shield clashing with Gong Xiangyu’s incoming right fist.
Boom!
This time, it was his left cheek that got hit.
Boom!
Next, it was the area around his spine.
If it wasn’t for his well-trained Water Elemental Shield that could move according to his will, and his proficient Water Controlling Technique, he may not have been able to withstand Gong Xiangyu’s ferocious punches.
“About time, let’s test his speed limit.”
After being hit almost ten times, Chen Mobai had a clear understanding of Gong Xiangyu’s rhythm.
Between his thoughts, the Dark Water in the Water Storage Talisman poured out, turning into a water net under his Divine Sense control, covering every possible direction Gong Xiangyu could attack from.
But Gong Xiangyu’s battle consciousness was nothing like his previous opponents.
Gong Xiangyu’s rapidly advancing figure paused momentarily, then quickly darted left and right, pulling with it the circulating Dark Water, each testing the other’s speed.
However, compared to Chen Mobai’s Water Controlling Technique that moved at his thoughts, Gong Xiangyu’s Godspeed Talisman, which required physical movement, had a limit.
“Got you.”
Chen Mobai’s eyes flickered with Spiritual Light, his Divine Sense working at its best, using the Dark Water net controlled by his Water Controlling Technique to trap Gong Xiangyu on the platform, tightening around him.
“Is it about to end?”
This thought flashed through the minds of the students watching below. They hadn’t expected that it would be Gong Xiangyu who was first pushed into a corner.
Boom!
Just when Gong Xiangyu was about to be trapped by the water net, his speed, already thrice that of an ordinary man, increased even further, darting out from the opening as the net closed in.
“Perfect, my Spirit Transformation Talisman is ready. It’s time to show everyone my Spiritual Control Technique.”
After Gong Xiangyu broke through the Dark Water Net with a burst of speed, one could see dark scales appearing all over his body, starting from his right hand.
“You’ve fallen into my trap.”
As Chen Mobai’s voice sounded in Gong Xiangyu’s ears, the latter frowned, not understanding what the former was babbling about. Suddenly, it seemed like he had stepped on a talisman.
Crack!
Columns of wood sprouted from the platform where Gong Xiangyu had stepped, instantly turning into a sturdy wooden cage that only a bug could fly out of.
“Wood Prison Talisman, a simple talisman. I put it near the spot where the Dark Water Net had a flaw, waiting for you to step on it.”
Chen Mobai still stood at his original position. He made no move, but waved his right hand, a chunk of Dark Water formed into a giant fist following his Divine Sense. It then punched the wooden cage that trapped Gong Xiangyu out of the platform’s range..
