Tell me all about it quietly! Liu Shu's delicate hands danced lightly, vaporizing her mana, which conjured a auspicious cloud around her. This cloud was the manifestation of her True Cultivation—the Cloud Mist Sun Covering Technique. The white weapon seemed feather-light, yet it was filled with formidable strength, not following the common gentle approach. Unlike conventional cultivators' perception, though this cloud was incomparably fierce, its control was integral to her will. More terrifying was that this formless entity inherently had layers of malicious transformations, such as quickly turning into a vortex against rigid defenses or Body Hard Skills, grinding down opponents with the Divine Sand Storm, and swiftly collapsing into thunder against enemies adept at leveraging force, thus creating the Thunderstorm. Yet, despite such a sharp and powerful attack, Liu Shu dared not release it fully, only allowing it to form a cyclone to protect herself. The enemies were simply too numerous. In front of her stood no fewer than seven Hu Jianhaos. "What in the world is this? Heavenly Light Materialization Technique or Fiery Sun Wave Qi?" Liu Shu anxiously scanned her surroundings. This Divine Skill was mysteriously profound, utterly beyond what the Transmitting Technique Hall described of the two light cultivation techniques! Photonics was the Hu Family's forte, with techniques like mirroring and imaging being very common in light magic. If it were just that, Liu Shu wouldn't feel so immensely threatened. More fearsome was that these mirror images were capable of attacking! It wasn't the authentic avatar technique from the Mysterious Palace—how could it be so exaggerated! A sneer curled on Hu Jianhao's lips. The phenomenon was a transverse wave. This was one of the most proud achievements of the Hu Family's ancestor, a Great Cultivator whose reputation had been ruined by the Yuanli Master. The Hu Family ancestor had been one of the improvers of the Fiery Sun Wave Qi, and naturally, the Hu Family possessed the "internal version" of it. In the Hu Family's Fiery Sun Wave Qi, there was a method that harnessed the characteristic of "light being a transverse wave". Under the momentum of the Fiery Sun Wave Qi, Hu Jianhao could scatter his light energy around and, using imaging techniques, create "images" that seemed like avatars. As for the attack power—hehe, I've also cultivated the Heavenly Light Materialization Technique! Although my ancestor was a proponent of the light wave theory, with Taiyi Heavenly Venerable having mastered the Particle Wave Dual Form, why should I abandon the Heavenly Light Materialization Technique? These images were real images, essentially my photonic mana, and I could naturally manipulate them using the Heavenly Light Materialization Technique, turning illusion into reality, light into weapons! Even Ai Changyuan would have to face this move seriously! Realizing this, Hu Jianhao's confidence soared. On the field, both his real body and the images surrounded Liu Shu, each materializing light into various weapons—sword, spear, halberd, axe, hook, claw, hammer, whip—one for each, poised to attack. "This is bad!" Wang Zhenqi shouted from the stands, "Senior Sister Liu is going to lose!" Wu Shiqin shook her head. "There's still a chance." She belonged to the cultivators with extremely powerful combat consciousness and talents, who could see through the battle situation in the Martial Arts Examination more clearly than others. Hu Jianhao's move was indeed immensely powerful, but the consumption of his mana must be huge too. The seven real images would drain mana rapidly, and it wouldn't be long before he would be unable to continue fighting. As long as Liu Shu could withstand this wave of attacks with the Cloud Mist, she'd be fine! Meanwhile, Ai Changyuan sighed to Lu Qianqian, "It's over." The moment Ai Changyuan uttered "over", the real image of Hu Jianhao with a sword led the charge, slashing at the cyclone beside Liu Shu. The sword light shone bright as a setting sun, seemingly an unstoppable heavenly might. The Light Blade collided and annihilated with the Raging Stream, igniting layers of light and waves of energy. Yet the "Hu Jianhao" holding the sword didn't even flinch, seemingly unaffected by any force! This one wasn't the true body! Liu Shu's expression shifted slightly. Had Hu Jianhao's tactic unexpectedly been not to use this mixed reality attack to lure her into exposing weaknesses by striking first, but to directly clash head-on? But suddenly, the girl was sparked with a hint of pride. To fight then fight, who was she afraid of? Liu Shu held nothing back, channeling all her strength into the surrounding Cloud Mist. She changed her Finger Technique and bellowed, "Rise!" In an instant, the Divine Wind surged! Just as the aura of the Cloud Mist intensified, the second Hu Jianhao made his move. The Hu Jianhao with a spear leveled it and thrust forward, the spear tip trembling lightly, tracing a complex broken line like the nine bends of a great river, piercing into the storm against the wind. Suddenly, there was a loud noise, and Liu Shu's Protective Magic Power was mysteriously unloaded and deflected by 10 percent! The precision of this spear strike in seizing the moment was so subtle that it astonished the crowd. The elder of the Hu Family was no match for the Yuanli Master, but he too had achieved something in Mathematics! Calculating the moment when Liu Shu's Protective Magic Power faltered was as easy as flipping his hand for Hu Jianhao! Before Liu Shu could react, the Hu Jianhao with a hammer leaped high and swung his heavy hammer down. The light from the hammer seemed like a golden crow falling from the sky, pressing in all directions. The Cloud Mist, struck by this Rigid Force, nearly collapsed. Liu Shu's body trembled, and she was slightly injured. Neither of these avatars showed any signs of exertion; they were not the real body either. The avatars holding an axe, a hook, a whip, and a claw sprang into action, and in just a moment, Liu Shu had received six heavy blows! "The ones who just attacked aren't the real body..." Liu Shu stared at the last enemy holding a long halberd and gritted her teeth silently. Just survive this last strike! If she could hold on, victory would be hers! As Liu Shu watched intently, the real Hu Jianhao launched the final attack. This disciple of the Hu Family moved three steps closer and swept horizontally, tracing a beautiful mark in front of him that seemed to encompass the principles of the daylight! Liu Shu lowered her body, preparing to receive the strongest strike. The light halberd collided with the Cloud Mist, clashed, annihilated, and ultimately failed to break through the defense. Opportunity! Liu Shu did not dare to be negligent. She changed her Finger Technique, ready to release the surrounding storm to turn defeat into victory. However, just as the Cloud Mist barrier slackened, the trapped long spear suddenly surged forward. At the same time, the "Hu Jianhao" holding the halberd along with several other avatars burst apart. The real body holding the spear showed a slight smile. Fools! I can even create an avatar of myself, let alone produce an illusion that doesn't exert force! The spear hit Liu Shu in the chest, and then, as arranged by the Law of the arena, a judge came down to declare Liu Shu's defeat. The disciples of Langde Immortal Institute erupted into cheers. "We won!" "Ahaha! Langde is invincible!" "Let's put in more effort and send Xinyue's group of idiots back home crying!" Hearing the cheers of the opponents, the faces of Xinyue Disciples turned ashen. It was the third day of the Martial Arts Examination. The Langde disciples, who had fought step by step with the Demon Clan by the sea, were surprisingly completely suppressing the Xinyue disciples. Out of ten written tests, Xinyue disciples could only win two or three. Moreover, in the matches between the elite disciples of both sides, Langde seemed to prognosticate and break the Divine Skills of the elite Xinyue disciples most of the time! Now, Long Shulin had fought four matches against Langde disciples and lost three; Liu Shu had fought six matches, winning three and losing three, and even Wu Shiqin, who had a very strong combat consciousness, had lost one match due to issues with her Cultivation Technique! All the Xinyue disciples began to pin their hopes on one person. Welcome to Qidian Chinese Network .
