Chapter 205: Chapter 171: Battle Against Ji Xuan Chapter 205: Chapter 171: Battle Against Ji Xuan Ji Xuan stepped onto the stage and smiled.
“Su Yuan, since our last meeting in Demon City, I’ve had a feeling that we would have a chance to battle during the Three Cities exchange.”
Su Yuan smiled.
“Last time was a bit rushed.
Today is a good time.
Come on, I’m looking forward to seeing the strength of Demon Academy’s super genius.”
Ji Xuan nodded, flipped his hand, and took out a black and gold longsword.
He closed his eyes and then opened them again, and a faint golden light continuously flowed in his eyes.
“Here I come.”
Ji Xuan gave a reminder, then leaped out with the longsword.
Su Yuan spread the fingers of his left hand, and two clusters of azure flames appeared in his palm.
The two blue flames rapidly condensed and intertwined.
In just two seconds, their energy surged to an astonishing level.
“Twin Blue Flames,” Su Yuan murmured as he aimed at Ji Xuan.
The flame light intensified.
The azure flames shot out from his palm like interwoven lightning, reaching Ji Xuan in an instant!
Amazing.
The power of this strike is double what he used against Ji Cheng…
Thoughts flashed through his mind as Ji Xuan’s eyes glimmered with golden light.
He swung the black and gold longsword, slanting it to meet the intersecting blue flames.
“Boom!”
The astonishingly powerful Twin Blue Flames exploded, the azure flames rolling and flooding an area nearly ten meters in diameter!
Ji Xuan’s figure wavered as he rushed out from the residual wave of the exploding fire element, remarkably unscathed!
“Interesting.
Are you able to weaken Star Power attacks, or…” Su Yuan’s eyes flickered, detecting something keenly.
Seeing Ji Xuan closing in, Su Yuan quickly raised his Phoenix Perch Saber to meet him.
“Clang, clang, clang…”
The two engaged in an intense close combat.
The waves of force exploded, the Star Power surged, and countless cracks appeared on the ground under their fierce exchange!
Ji Xuan, worthy of being Demon Academy’s strongest freshman, had superb strength, speed, sword skills, and reflexes.
However, Su Yuan soon noticed something unusual.
ṅοѵǤο.сο
With a forceful push, he knocked Ji Xuan back and looked down at the Phoenix Perch Saber.
He saw a notch on the freshly forged blade.
Not only that, but even the flowing light on the blade had dimmed somewhat, indicating significant damage.
“As expected…weak point attacks.” Su Yuan squinted his eyes slightly.
When Ji Xuan had broken through the Twin Blue Flames Strike earlier, Su Yuan had sensed something.
Logically, his Gray Flame Strike was already mastered.
Now, with the terrifying amplification from the Phoenix Perch Saber, it should have been challenging even for Silver Stage opponents.
But Ji Xuan had effortlessly broken through the Twin Blue Flames Strike without using any visible skill.
Su Yuan could feel that the Twin Blue Flames had become unbelievably vulnerable the moment they were struck.
The explosion looked extensive and powerful but didn’t actually cause much harm due to the scattered and chaotic Star Power.
And now, after just a brief skirmish, the Phoenix Perch Saber already showed signs of damage.
Even if Ji Xuan’s Star Device was exceptionally sharp, it shouldn’t cause this level of destruction!
This confirmed Su Yuan’s suspicion: Ji Xuan could identify and exploit the weak points in skills and Star Devices.
Not far away, Ji Xuan held his black and gold longsword and smiled.
“It seems you’ve figured it out, Su Yuan.”
Su Yuan lifted his gaze to see the faint golden light flickering in Ji Xuan’s eyes.
“As expected from Demon City’s strongest freshman.
Such a special pupil skill is extremely rare.”
Pupil skills required the use of the eyes to be executed.
These skills often had very special and powerful effects, similar in rarity to Outer Path Skills.
It seemed that Ji Xuan had used his pupil skill to see the weak points in the Gray Flame Strike and the Phoenix Perch Saber and destroy them accordingly.
“How will you respond next, Su Yuan?
I’m curious.” Ji Xuan smiled and charged again with his sword.
Ji Xuan’s pupil skill was called Insightful Eyes.
It enabled him to precisely observe the energy changes in a target and discern its fundamental weak points.
By hitting these weak points, Ji Xuan could cause astonishing extra damage and destroy the target.
This was a mutated elevation of the Gold Element’s sharp trait, an extremely powerful skill gained when Ji Xuan awakened his Soul Card!
In past battles, even when opponents discovered his ability, they would often become cautious.
In close combat, Ji Xuan could continually damage the opponent’s weapons with Insightful Eyes.
If a Star Device sustained damage, its various powers would naturally decrease.
Even if he didn’t completely destroy the opponent’s weapon, causing damage would weaken its attributes, thus reducing the opponent’s overall strength.
Just like the current Phoenix Perch Saber.
In ranged attacks, unless the skill had no trajectory, Ji Xuan could usually see through the weak points with Insightful Eyes and nullify the attack effortlessly!
Thus, among peers, only assassin-type Star Card Masters or some magicians could handle Ji Xuan’s Insightful Eyes.
As Ji Xuan charged halfway, he suddenly felt the air ahead grow hotter.
In Su Yuan’s eyes, flames flickered.
A massive amount of bright yellow flames suddenly rose from his body!
Su Yuan’s aura surged, reaching the level of the Silver Stage in just a moment!
Great Sun Burning Body·Yellow Flame!
“What an incredible enhancement skill!” Ji Xuan’s pupils contracted.
With Insightful Eyes, Ji Xuan could see that Su Yuan’s Star Power fluctuations had doubled!
Just then, a silver flash surrounded Su Yuan, who instantly teleported to Ji Xuan’s side and struck with his saber.
Ji Xuan quickly turned and countered, precisely hitting the “weak point” on the Phoenix Perch Saber.
“Clang!”
When the weapons clashed, Ji Xuan felt a tremendous force from the saber, like being hit head-on by a truck, sending him flying over ten meters!
“How is his strength also amplified so terrifyingly!”
Ji Xuan quickly steadied himself, looking at Su Yuan encased in yellow flames, his mind in turmoil!
Insightful Eyes could see Su Yuan’s surging Star Power but couldn’t detect his enhanced physical attributes.
The amplification of his Star Power was already comparable to a Great Success Stage T1 blue enhancement skill, yet it also boosted his strength significantly?
What kind of enhancement skill was this?
In fact, after sensing the function of Ji Xuan’s Insightful Eyes, Su Yuan quickly thought of two countermeasures.
First, overpower him with sheer strength.
With overwhelming power, he could quickly end the battle before his weapon or attacks were significantly weakened.
Like now, Su Yuan activated the Great Sun Burning Body Technique’s Yellow Flame Stage.
Even if Ji Xuan could see his weak points, he couldn’t withstand it!
Su Yuan looked at Ji Xuan, who had been knocked back by his strike, and spoke calmly.
“Come on, give it your all.
Otherwise, you won’t have many more chances…”
