Chapter 49: Universal Image, Imprint Function

Chapter 49: Chapter 49: Universal Image, Imprint FunctionAt this moment, many people were looking at Wu Lan with strange expressions in their eyes. To be honest, although everyone knew Wu Lan was formidable, no one expected him to break into the top three. And even less expected him to defeat Cheng Lin. One could say that Wu Lan was like a dark horse in this competition. Elder Li Rou once again appeared on the high platform and announced loudly: "Alright, the top three ranking competitors have finally emerged. You will all get an hour to rest, and after that hour, you shall battle it out to determine the first, second, and third places!" Upon hearing Elder Li Rou’s words, many hearts were filled with excitement. Everyone was clear that the battle for the top three would be even more splendid. Suddenly, Wu Lan stood up and said, "Elder, I have an unreasonable request to make." "Oh?" Elder Li Rou looked over at Wu Lan and said, "Speak your mind!" Wu Lan said, "I would like to withdraw from the top three battle." Once Wu Lan withdrew from the battle for the top three, it meant he would automatically take third place. The bout for the first place would then be between Lin Fan and Liu Junli. "Are you sure you want to withdraw?" Elder Li Rou said, "You must understand, the rewards for the first and second places are very generous. If you do not vie for them and choose to withdraw like this, you might regret it later." Wu Lan shook his head and said, "Truth is, I don’t want to withdraw, but I am no match for Lin Fan. And as for Liu Junli, I also admit that I am not her opponent. Therefore, my only choice is to step down!" Elder Li Rou said, "Well then, since you’ve made your choice, I won’t force you." Then, after a brief pause, Elder Li Rou’s eyes turned towards Lin Fan and Liu Junli and said, "Then, the two of you prepare yourself. In an hour, the final duel will begin!" Liu Junli shrugged and said, "I don’t really care, as I didn’t fight just now and I haven’t expended any effort. So, I’m ready to battle at any time." Lin Fan said, "No need to wait, let’s start now!" Liu Junli looked at Lin Fan and asked, "Don’t you want to rest first?" Lin Fan shook his head and said, "No need." Soon after, Lin Fan and Liu Junli stood atop the arena. Both of them stood there quietly, neither making the first move. However, both were completely focused on each other, searching for any weakness in their opponent. But after a long time, neither found any opening in the other. They both knew that they had met their match and neither dared to take the other lightly, as they were aware that their opponent was very formidable, and any slight negligence could lead to their defeat the next moment. "Liu Junli is indeed powerful!" Lin Fan secretly thought, "Such talent, even in Holy Soul Domain, would be considered a top-notch genius!" Simultaneously, Liu Junli was also thinking to herself: "This Lin Fan, I didn’t expect him to be so formidable? With all my Divine Sense and soul power locked on him, the fact that I can’t find a single flaw is unbelievable!" "It seems he is much more formidable than he appears!" Deep inside, Liu Junli took Lin Fan more seriously, and between her eyes, a vertical eye surprisingly appeared! "What is this...?" Ninety-nine percent of the people were somewhat stunned upon seeing the vertical eye that appeared on Liu Junli’s forehead. Only Lin Fan was shocked in his heart: "Heavenly Eye Spirit Clan? How could the Heavenly Eye Spirit Clan appear on this continent?" Lin Fan had once read about the Heavenly Eye Spirit Clan in an ancient tome. It was said that the Heavenly Eye Spirit Clan were the chosen children of Heaven and Earth; they were incredibly powerful, and once they reached a certain age, their cultivation speed was terrifyingly fast. Furthermore, the Heavenly Eye Spirit Clan possessed their own inherited memories. As long as they did not fall midway, one day they would all become those exceptional experts. It can be said that among the Heavenly Eye Spirit Clan, there are no weaklings. If it weren’t for the extremely rare population of the Heavenly Eye Spirit Clan, maybe the entire universe would already be under their control! According to that ancient book, the Heavenly Eye Spirit Clan reside on a very small planet and generally do not appear on other planets. But now, on Liu Junli’s body, Lin Fan is actually seeing the shadow of the Heavenly Eye Spirit Clan? "No, she is not from the Heavenly Eye Spirit Clan!" In the next moment, Lin Fan felt relieved in his heart: "She just has the bloodline of the Heavenly Eye Spirit Clan in her!" "Be careful!" At that moment, Liu Junli suddenly shouted out loud. At the same time, she already had a miniature sword in her hand. This was the first time Liu Junli had drawn her sword! As soon as the miniature sword appeared, with its swinging, rolling thunder sounds emerged in the surrounding void. "Thunderous Sword!" Liu Junli lightly shouted! A purple Sword Light, like a startling thunder, descended from the void above Lin Fan’s head, instantly engulfing the space surrounding Lin Fan. "What a powerful sword!" This was what many people thought in their hearts. Even Lin Fan was shocked in his heart at this instant. Liu Junli’s sword was too strong, he could neither defend against it nor withstand it. Although as soon as Liu Junli drew her sword, the Universal Image activated the Combat Projection function, projecting the sword move of the Thunderous Sword into Lin Fan’s mind instantly, it was still to no avail. Because Liu Junli’s sword was too fast and too strong. So, Lin Fan simply could not react! That is to say, at this time, Lin Fan was in absolute crisis. "The Universal Image detects the host is in superior danger, activating the absorption function!" At this time, the system voice of the Universal Image echoed again in Lin Fan’s mind. "The Universal Image detects Thunderous Sword as a High Level Plane Martial Arts Technique, automatically activating the Imprint Function!" ... "Absorption function? Imprint Function? What the hell is this?" Lin Fan couldn’t help but feel puzzled in his heart. And at this instant, Liu Junli’s sword, like roaring thunder, rolled towards him, seemingly about to completely envelop Lin Fan. Right at this moment, Lin Fan suddenly felt an inexplicable special energy within him, prompting him to mysteriously thrust out a spear. "Absorb!" Simultaneously, Lin Fan shouted out loud! With Lin Fan’s spear thrusting out, an invisible maw suddenly appeared and instantly absorbed all the Sword Light contained within Liu Junli’s Thunderous Sword, leaving no trace. At the same time, Lin Fan found that the Sword technique of the Thunderous Sword mysteriously appeared in his mind. That is to say, at this instant, Lin Fan was already capable of using the Thunderous Sword! Just a pity, Lin Fan wielded a spear, so even though he could now execute the Thunderous Sword, it wasn’t of much help to him.
