Chapter 960: First Stage Cleared



960 – First To Pass


TL: GoldenLung


Outer Court Dean’s office.


"Who is he trying to deceive with these white soul rings?" A teacher from the Inner Court couldn't help but ask, "His control over the elements is just like second nature. How much spiritual power does he have, Dean Ying?"


Ying Luohong said, "He should have traveled quite a distance in the Spirit Abyss realm."


"Spiritual power at the Spirit Abyss realm is indeed very strong, but the problem is, why can't I feel his soul power consumption during the combat, as if he had a soul core?" the teacher continued to ask.


"I don't know either," Ying Luohong looked at Xiao Qi, and Xiao Qi also shook his head repeatedly.


Wasn't it? Left behind by Lan Xuanyu, the trails of defeated opponents had already reached hundreds. But he still looked relaxed and at ease, releasing a similar amount of soul power each time, without any intention of conserving it. This was clearly something only a soul master with a soul core and above seven rings could achieve. He didn't even need to use his Battle Armor to rely on its amplification.


Could a five-ring soul master possess such elemental control ability? Could the teachers in the Inner Court believe it?


"Keep watching," Wang Tianyu waved his hand.


The teachers quieted down, and Lan Xuanyu had already passed through the previous passage and arrived at a relatively spacious area.


In this wide space, a two-meter-tall man silently stood there, seemingly waiting specifically for his arrival.


The man had two purple and four black soul rings hovering around him, indicating his cultivation level as a Soul Emperor with six soul rings. It was a stark contrast to the five white soul rings on Lan Xuanyu's body.


The man held a heavy sword in his hand and wore jet-black armor, a Battle Armor. His Battle Armor didn't have wings and appeared to be a plain one, but it was much thicker and had an impressive defensive capability.


"Hmph!" The man in black armor snorted when he saw Lan Xuanyu. Suddenly, he took a step forward and stomped his left foot heavily on the ground. The earth shook with a deafening roar, and the powerful shockwave reverberated within the 30-meter radius of the space.


A gust of green wind surged towards his opponent from all directions, similar to his previous tactic of Wind Restraint.


The black-armored man moved and behind him, black flames seemed to spew out, propelling his body to dash towards Lan Xuanyu like lightning. He lifted the heavy sword in his hand and flicked it upwards, slashing through the blue wind. At the same time, the third soul ring on his body flickered, and a layer of dark purple patterns appeared on the surface of the heavy sword. Vaguely, there was an eruption of dark aura in the air, incredibly sticky.


In this short period of time, he had already rushed to within five meters in front of Lan Xuanyu, and the heavy sword in his hand was about to strike down.


It was also at this moment that Lan Xuanyu took a step forward, and his body suddenly lit up, dazzling golden light even causing the watching teachers to feel a bit dazzled.


All the darkness was dispelled in an instant. When the picture on the screen became clear again, the teachers first saw the figure that had previously rushed towards Lan Xuanyu, because he was very tall, while Lan Xuanyu was standing in front of him.


The tall and massive black-armored warrior held his heavy sword high in both hands, but his strike never came down. His entire body was emitting smoke, purple smoke. Then, Lan Xuanyu pressed his left hand against the warrior's chest.


After retracting his hand, Lan Xuanyu calmly walked around the black-armored warrior and continued down the corridor behind him. However, a hole had already been punched through the warrior's chest armor at some point, and his entire black armor began to swell. Accompanied by a series of clanging sounds, ice spikes burst out of his body and armor, like a huge ice flower.


His six-ring Soul Emperor wearing a One-Word Battle Armor was insta-killed!


This was a feat even a seven-ring Soul Saint might not be able to achieve.


His control over the elements…


After identifying the opponent's martial soul as the dark element, Lan Xuanyu unleashed the power of the light element, which restrained the opponent's abilities and defense by countering the dark element. He shattered the opponent's chest armor with his left hand, and the ice element penetrated, causing countless ice thorns to bloom inside the opponent's body.


That was the process of the entire battle. How did he shatter the armor? When Lan Xuanyu slapped it, his left hand was covered with scales, resembling a claw.


In the next scene, Lan Xuanyu had already entered the back passage. Various elements kept appearing around his body, and any enemy that rushed out would perish in a short time. He moved forward step by step without any hesitation or pause. Killing these enemies seemed to him like a normal and simple task.


Willpower was never innate, it was constantly developed through postnatal training. Although Lan Xuanyu was young, he had experienced too much over the years. As the class leader, he had to calmly face various situations and lead his teammates forward. But even with such strong willpower, he had collapsed not long ago because of Nana's fall in the stars.


Rescuing Nana and ultimately succeeding was also a journey of self-improvement for him. At this moment, Lan Xuanyu only had one thought in his mind, which was to become stronger, strong enough to protect his family and teammates.


Only by defeating the enemy can he better protect those he wants to protect. Being merciful to the enemy was being cruel to himself. Under the influence of this firm willpower, he would not be affected at all.


"First level passed, seventeen people," Ying Luohong timely reported to Wang Tianyu.


The so-called first challenge was the six-ring black-armored warrior that everyone had to face. So Lan Xuanyu wasn't the fastest in his class to pass this challenge. There were already more than ten people who had passed before him.


"Eighteen people…, twenty people…" more students were still passing this assessment. For students graduating from the Outer Court, this challenge was not considered difficult. It mainly tested their determination and will when facing enemies and killing them.


"Very soon," whispered one of the Inner Court teachers.


Tang Zhenhua looked at the Inner Court teachers and said, "Their willpower is stronger than you think."


The training in Star Wars had greatly helped the students' willpower. Without strong willpower, how could they face the pain of controlling the soul mechas under overload every time? Being able to enter the simulation pod for soul mecha training again and again required strong willpower.


After witnessing the performances of Tan Xiaodao, Piao Xiaoxu, and Lan Xuanyu in succession, Tang Zhenhua's state of mind had stabilized. As the saying goes, "worry leads to chaos," he suddenly felt that he should trust this group of kids more. They were able to come this far not just because of Lan Xuanyu alone.


Was Lan Xuanyu's contribution significant? Of course, it was. Not only was he of great help to his classmates, but more importantly, he played an exemplary role.


Just like when he was piloting the soul fighter, he achieved the Super God Fifty-Eight rank. Naturally, all his classmates would look up to him as a role model.


For ordinary pilots, their greatest dream in life might be to enter the top ten thousand in the entire federation. But for the Thirty-Three Wings, they didn't feel anything even after entering the top ten thousand. Their class leader was already in the double digits. Even if they entered the top one thousand, they still felt they had a long way to go compared to their class leader.


In actual combat, why couldn't we, who are five or six rings, do what the class leader, who is only four rings, can do? The class leader spent so much time crafting Battle Armors for us, would it be fair to him if we couldn't graduate? Moreover, if the class leader can do it, we could do it too.


When Liu Feng and Qian Lei first entered Shrek, what was their cultivation level? Now they have both broken through to seven-ring. How could the other classmates take it easy?
