After using healing crystals to heal all her injuries, Fang Lijuan used the power of the Invisible Talisman to disappear again; this time, however, it was not just as simple as her body becoming invisible. Her blood, skin, muscles, organs, bones, Divine Sea, aura, and even her souls became invisible. She was completely gone. And Li Jun could not track her existence at all. The majority of people in the audience could not track her whereabouts--including a few Saints. Even Wang Wei himself could not see her with his bare eyes and had to use his True Vision to see her. Of course, if these Saints released their Domains, they would be able to discover. However, given that Fang Lijuan was just in the Supernatural Realm and only had possession of the Invisible Talisman for a few decades, this accomplishment was astonishing. After becoming invisible, Fang Lijuan did not attack Li Jun immediately but said: "Many people believe that the Invisible Talisman can only allow this Goddess to become invisible, but it can also affect my enemy. "Now, God of War Li Jun," pronouncing the phrase "God of War" with the utmost disdain. "Let's see how you react when all your senses--including taste, smell, sight, touch, sound, and Divine Sense--become invisible." Her voice echoed throughout the fighting arena, seeming to be coming everywhere and nowhere at the same time. Immediately afterward, Li Jun knelt on the floor while grunting painfully. He discovered that his vision became black, he could not smell the surrounding environment, his mouth had a bland aftertaste that was impossible to get rid of. He could not feel anything or any part of his body. Even though he knew that he was half kneeling, he could not feel the sensation of the ground; no, it was more than that. He could not feel any part of his body, whether it was his limbs, muscles, or skin; it was like he was an empty form of consciousness without a physical body. He tried to sense his soul in his Sea of Consciousness or used his Divine Sense, but he could not feel the existence of any of these things as well. For Li Jun, being in this state was like torture. He could not tell the time, the place, and who he was. Every second felt like an eternity, and the constant darkness seemed to want to swallow him. He started to question his existence, and whether death was a possible relief for all this pain and suffering, Fortunately, Li Jun's will was iron solid, so he did not take any drastic action. Meanwhile, Fang Lijuan looked at Li Jun writhing in pain, and a look of surprise flashed across her eyes. 'This Li Jun's Will is more powerful than I expected. All the people I used this technique on immediately started squealing like pigs that were about to be butchered. After only a few seconds, they will commit suicide to end the suffering.' While thinking all of this, Fang Lijuan did not attack, but just keep watching to see how long he can withstand the pain. Unfortunately, she underestimates Li Jun's will. After more than a half-hour, although he was still grunting in pain, he did not scream or nor take his own life. 'There is no way that any Heaven Chosen can have such powerful will on their own accord--especially in this early stage. So, there must be a reason for having such a strong Will,' secretly thought Fang Lijuan. 'It should have something to do with the Pagoda Trial that I heard about. According to the information that our clan received, the Great Zhou Imperial Dynasty paid a heavy price to acquire access to this Pagoda Trial. Maybe I should ask my father to do the same for me. 'My [Emptiness of Consciousness] move will not last longer than an hour, so, let's end this battle." With a wave of her hand, an invisible crystal spear manifested in front of her before heading straight to Li Jun's head. As she watched death slowly approach her once former enemy, Fang Lijuan muttered softly to herself: "You should be glad to have your end by the hand of this Goddess." And many people who could see her spear had similar thoughts as her; they thought that Sacred Son's Wang Wei was about to lose his right-hand general. As for Li Jun, he was defenseless still half-kneeling on the ground. If still had an origin essence left, then it could automatically erect a barrier to protect him--even though it would be useless--but he was already running dry by now. Thus, his death was imminent. Right before the spear pierced Li Jun's head, a hand appeared and grab it. As soon as that hand touched the spear, it manifested itself to everyone, then the hand crushed it. Only a few people noticed how that person appeared in the ring, but everyone immediately identified the owner: Wang Wei. Inside the Academy, the teachers started discussing rapidly through Divine Sense with one another: "Did he just break the space to teleport? I thought only Void Shattered Realm cultivator had this ability!" said one teacher. "No, his cultivation is still in the Supernatural Realm, you can feel the aura surrounding him. "Then how did he do such a thing?" "Why are you surprised about this? What I care about is the fact that he just uses his bare hand to tear apart the Peak Heaven Grade Array that protected the fighting arena. This level of formation can protect against a Peak Void Shattered Realm Cultivator." The room instantly quiets down as many of these teachers became flabbergasted. "There is no room to worry. He broke all his muscles and cracked a few bones in the process," replied headmaster Bai Han. "The only reason he appeared perfectly fine is that these bodies parts were instantly regenerated in less than a second." Unfortunately, his words were less than reassuring as he just told them that not only does Wang Wei has unmatched physical strength, but also a terrifying regenerative ability. Without saying anything more, headmaster Bai Han stepped out of the booth and appeared in front of all the audience and distant watchers. "Sacred Son Wang Wei, it is forbidden to intervene in any of the battles. Once someone steps into this arena, his or her life and death are determined by Heaven and their skills. Look around, many people have lost precious friends and family members in this arena, but no one intervened. "Just because you have a high status does not mean that you can break the rules as you please." Headmaster Bai Han had a noble and sage-like demeanor while saying these words. He looked like someone determined to enforce the laws and rules at all cost--even his own life. Soon after he said these words, a random person in the audience suddenly shouted: "That's right. I lost my brother in this competition, but you did not see me intervene." "I lost my wife!" screamed another person. Following this trend, and with a herd mentality, many members of the audience started to admonish Wang Wei's actions; they claimed that he had no right to break the rules to save his people. During the whole process, Bai Han had a kind look on his face as he nodded in agreement with the crowd, but secretly, he was smirking. 'Don't you like to use groups of people to do your bidding? Let's see how you like it when they are used against you.' As for Wang Wei, he was calm throughout the entire situation; there was no change in his facial expression--no matter what the audience said. Then, he snorted. A powerful spiritual pressure enveloped the entire arena, forcing everybody to become silent. All the cultivators--from the lowest Body Refining Realm to Saint Realm--felt like their souls were being crushed by a powerful force. Even the Supreme Realm True Monarchs who were secretly in the stadium felt a brief pressure for a moment. After his snort, Fang Lijuan was forced out of her invisible state, and the attack she used on Li Jun was canceled. Without saying a word, Wang Wei fed a pill into Li Jun's mouth, then picked him up and placed him on his shoulder. He then looked at Bai Han with a cold gaze: "You will regret this." Without waiting for the headmaster to say another word, he took out a jade talisman and contacted his father. "Wei'er, what is it?" "It's time for our plan to begin. This Academy has been on their high horses for far too long; it's time to bring them down, time to remind them who truly stands at the apex of this world." Soon after that, Wang Wei disappeared from the stadium, nevertheless, his last words echoed throughout the silent arena. Everyone watching this tournament knew that something big was about to happen with worldwide repercussions. As for the ones who were aware of what was about to happen, they cheered gleefully as they were finally about to reap the benefits promised by the Dao Opening Academy.
