Chapter 326: Chapter 266 Power of Soul Chapter 326: Chapter 266 Power of Soul Looking at this young man, Su Yuan suddenly felt a bit dazed, as if he saw the black-haired girl from the past.
“Could it really be like this?” Su Yuan frowned in thought.
After a while, Zheng Chusheng walked up to the northern high platform, looked at the numerous students in the open-air pavilion audience, and loudly said,
“The academy did not intentionally organize this, but many students from both inside and outside the school came here today.
I think everyone heard that the student delegation from the Qiguang Empire in the north is here to exchange with our academy.
The students from Qiguang Country who came this time are from Zijinghua Academy of the Qiguang Empire.
The Zijinghua students, who are visiting the Great Flame Country for the first time, chose to come to our Demon Capital Academy for an exchange, and our academy feels honored.
The previous visits have ended, and next is the moment you all have been waiting for, practical combat!
I suppose everyone is eager to witness the prowess of the Qiguang students…
So without further ado, let’s begin with a 4v4 arena battle!”
“Alright, Demon Capital Academy, go, go, go!”
“Defeat Qiguang, come on!”
…
The audience erupted in thunderous applause.
Soon enough, a student from Demon Capital Academy, wearing a white shirt and looking sharp, walked out.
It was Liu Congyun.
Zhang Tai excitedly remarked, “The first one on stage is Vice President Liu.
During the national competition, his Buddha Golden Body was invincible.
Now, after nearly half a year, he is only a step away from the Gold High Stage!”
Naturally, the national competition’s footage was recorded by special Star Devices.
Xiang Dingqian, Zhang Tai, and others watched it live, while Su Yuan, who didn’t attend the live event, watched the footage through the academy later on.
Su Yuan nodded.
Liu Congyun’s strength was still considerable.
Apart from Qin Jia, who was already at the Gold High Stage, Liu Congyun was among the top few students at Demon Capital.
“Teacher Zheng.” After taking the stage, Liu Congyun respectfully saluted.
Zheng Chusheng nodded and signaled for him to do well.
At this moment, under the instruction of Professor Moss from Zijinghua Academy, a girl stood up, stretched lazily, looked at Liu Congyun on the stage, and in a flash of golden light, flew onto the arena in an instant.
This was a girl with long golden hair and an impressive chest, her expression lively with a hint of pride.
After stepping onto the stage, she stood with one hand on her hip and observed Liu Congyun.
“This person is so fast!” Zhang Tai exclaimed in a low voice.
Du Tao smacked his lips, “I almost didn’t see it!”
Just this move alone made Zhang Tai and others feel overmatched.
However, considering Zhang Tai and the others were only at the Silver Stage, feeling overmatched was normal.
Su Yuan estimated that this Qiguang student’s speed was about the same as moving at full speed in the Red Flame State, likely possessing C-level Agility Talent combined with Green or Blue Grade Mobile Skills.
Seeing the two on stage, Zheng Chusheng immediately stepped back.
Under the watchful eyes of so many Burning Sun and King Level experts, a referee was certainly unnecessary.
“Demon Capital Academy, Liu Congyun.” Liu Congyun announced his name while observing his opponent.
“Irina.” The blonde girl from Zijinghua Academy also reported her name, glancing at Liu Congyun.
“A Star Card Master from the Great Flame Country looks quite ordinary.”
Liu Congyun frowned.
“What do you mean?”
Irina lifted her hair and slowly put on a pair of white gloves.
“Literally, from appearance to aura, to strength, all quite ordinary.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of all the Great Flame students in the Practical Combat Hall fell.
“This Qiguang student is really harsh with her words!”
“In terms of realm, she’s only at the Gold Middle Stage.
Her Star Power Fluctuation is even weaker than Vice President Liu, who is only half a step away from the Gold High Stage.”
…
“Demon Capital Academy, go, defeat her so she can’t talk like this anymore!”
“Yeah, what’s with the attitude, she really thinks she’s something!”
…
In the observation room specially set up in the hall, Nick smiled apologetically.
“This little girl indeed has an arrogant attitude, but she’s like this with all ordinary opponents, not specifically targeting your students.
I’m really sorry, Dean Cai.”
Nick’s words were not an explanation but implied that Liu Congyun was just an “ordinary opponent,” which was quite aggressive.
“No harm done…” Cai Qinglong remained calm, taking a sip of tea.
“Genius students all have their personalities, and I quite like students with personality.”
Nick smiled.
“If you don’t mind, it’s all good…”
On the stage, Liu Congyun looked at Irina, narrowing his eyes slightly.
“Whether ordinary or not, words alone won’t tell.
Let’s show our real skills under our hands!”
Liu Congyun snorted coldly, and then he formed a seal with both hands, directly unleashing his specialty Outer Path Skill—Buddha Golden Body!
Golden Star Power surged, and a golden Buddha statue over six stories tall rose from the ground, the size and momentum extremely impressive!
“It’s here, Vice President Liu’s Buddha Golden Body!” someone shouted excitedly from the spectators.
This move could be controlled remotely, possessed great power, and was indestructible.
As a Blue Grade Outer Path Skill, its strength was indeed remarkable!
However, facing such a grand and massive Buddha, Irina, who stood opposite Liu Congyun, didn’t have much reaction.
Liu Congyun didn’t care what tricks Irina was up to, immediately controlling the Buddha Golden Body to charge forward.
“Crush it!”
The huge gilded body of the statue moved incredibly flexibly.
In just a few strides, it reached Irina, raising a fist larger than her entire body and smashing it down!
“Boom!”
The entire open-air pavilion shook.
The hard ground, capable of withstanding most Gold Level attacks, cracked wide under the punch, stirring up a cloud of dust!
“What happened!”
“Can’t see, too much dust.”
The spectators closely observed the situation, but the thick dust obscured their view of what the Buddha Golden Body’s punch had accomplished.
But Liu Congyun knew very well that this strike had missed!
Suddenly, a golden light flashed, and a golden-haired figure appeared behind Liu Congyun, swinging a right fist at his back!
“Thump!”
A punch landed, golden light exploded.
A golden bell, seemingly made of gilded metal, appeared suddenly outside Liu Congyun, repelling Irina.
ƝονǤօ.ƈօ
The powerful rebound force even made Irina tremble, unable to recover for a moment!
At this time, Liu Congyun, who had been controlling the Buddha Golden Body, turned around and punched Irina in the abdomen, sending her flying!
“Yes!”
“Senior Liu is amazing!”
“…”
After Irina’s provocation, Liu Congyun sending her flying in the first round of exchange immediately excited all the students in the audience!
Near Su Yuan, Zhang Tai was also very excited.
“Senior Liu seems to have the upper hand!”
Su Yuan nodded.
“It looks like Vice President Liu has perfected this Outer Path Skill.”
When facing the Sea Beast, Liu Congyun, while remotely controlling the Buddha Golden Body, had no combat power himself.
Now, Liu Congyun not only used the Buddha Golden Body to deploy the Golden Bell Shield for protection but also turned around and punched the Qiguang student away, showing his prowess was no longer limited by the Buddha Golden Body.
Likely, his skill broke through to Perfect Grade, gaining some trait.
At this moment, the Buddha Golden Body returned to Liu Congyun’s side.
“Go, defeat her!”
With his thoughts, Liu Congyun made the Buddha Golden Body charge out, arriving in front of Irina in a few steps.
Irina, already standing up, wiped a trace of blood from her mouth.
Despite being slightly disheveled, she didn’t appear severely injured.
“Really, infuriating!” Irina’s eyes glinted with a hint of anger.
Watching the Buddha Golden Body attack again, strong fluctuations erupted from Irina.
Her golden hair fluttered without wind as she pointed forward.
“Boom!”
Golden light exploded with a muffled groan, something seemed to burst.
Even the colossal Buddha statue nearing Irina paused, slowing down.
In the audience, people were wide-eyed and shocked, seeing Liu Congyun’s right hand mangled, with half his right arm nearly crippled!
“What…
just happened?!”
“What’s going on!”
“How did Senior Liu suddenly get injured!”
…
Most faces showed shock, while some displayed serious expressions.
“As expected, it’s the Power of Soul…” In the Demon Capital Academy’s preparation area, having just come down from the stage, Zheng Chusheng took a deep breath, furrowing his brows tightly.
Not only Zheng Chusheng, but He Yanan and others also showed hints of surprise in their eyes.
Although the dean had mentioned beforehand that Qiguang students might have mastered the Soul Card Power, seeing it firsthand was still shocking.
Star Card Masters and Star Beasts, during their Second Awakening and evolution, gain profound powers from Soul Cards and Star Cores, collectively known as the Power of Soul.
Through continuous training, growth, and evolution, this power becomes stronger.
Mastering the Power of Soul at the Gold Level broke common sense!
Another teacher asked, “Mastering the Power of Soul at the Gold Level, could it be from cultivating some secret technique?”
Zheng Chusheng observed Irina on the stage.
“Doesn’t seem like it.
Although the Power of Soul is limited, she’s indeed controlling it skillfully.”
“So what now?
Liu Congyun probably can’t match her, should we replace him?”
After a brief murmur, Zheng Chusheng said, “Let’s wait and see.”
Lan Xinlan glanced at the stage and snorted.
“I can still fully heal Liu Congyun’s injured hand now, but in a while, even if healed, I can’t guarantee there won’t be any aftereffects!”
Clearly, as a healer, Lan Xinlan was dissatisfied with Zheng Chusheng’s decision.
But Lan Xinlan obviously couldn’t interfere with Zheng Chusheng’s decision.
Firstly, Zheng Chusheng was fully responsible for the exchange event, bearing the most pressure.
And more importantly…
Zheng Chusheng was Liu Congyun’s mentor!
At this moment, Zheng Chusheng looked at the injured Liu Congyun on the stage, thinking, “Congyun, try to uncover as much of her strength as you can.”
