C2515 Shadow-void and soul-art

"Continue the challenge!"

In the center of Central Square, a sturdy middle-aged man said with spirit power in his voice, his voice was as loud as a bell.

On the sea of people watching the competition stage, the gazes of the many spectators were all gathered on the stage as they discussed with each other. They were guessing which participant would challenge next, and who could his opponent be?

"The fifth position of the top ten has been tentatively set. It's slightly to the back, so I might as well rush forward!"

Cao Jian, who had recovered fully, said.

Hearing Cao Jian's words, Song Yuan from the Heavenly Abyss Sect, who was ranked third, and Mo Xu, who was ranked fourth, frowned as they felt a headache coming on.

This was because they knew that Cao Jian was currently ranked fifth among the top ten and the challenger would be the first, second, third and fourth, while the first was Luo Qiushui who had defeated Mu Tianqing. Although Cao Jian's counterattack would be a headache, it was also very obvious how weak his attack would be compared to the top ten, so he could only rely on the consumption of energy to defeat his opponent, but Luo Qiushui was clearly not an opponent that could be defeated easily.

The second was Yang Wu, who defeated Cao Jian. Although luck played a part, but, no matter what, Yang Wu had successfully challenged him, he couldn't challenge Yang Wu anymore.

Thus, under normal circumstances, the person that Cao Jian wanted to challenge would only be one of the two of them.

When they fought Cao Jian, it gave them a headache just thinking about it.

Cao Jian's gaze did not even look at Luo Qiu Shui, instead it landed on Song Yuan and Mo Xu.

"Mo Xu's attack power is not that strong, so it's very likely that he will challenge Mo Xu. However, I am not willing to only take fourth place, so I will try to challenge Song Yuan. Anyways, I have three chances to challenge him, enough to make a mistake."

Cao Jian's eyes swept across Song Yuan and Mo Xu as he thought to himself.

"I want to challenge Song Yuan, the third among the top ten geniuses for the time being." Cao Jian said.

When Song Yuan heard this, he had a headache.

"I am Cao Jian from the fifth rank of the top ten and I am challenging the third rank of the top ten. Song Yuan, please come to the ninth rank."

The robust middle-aged man in the center of the square said with a voice that was like a loud bell.

The expressionless Cao Jian and the unsightly Song Yuan left the arena and walked to the ninth arena.

Cao Jian's personality was cold and oppressive, he did not say a word. Song Yuan had a headache, so he did not say anything else. After the two of them went up on stage, the atmosphere was very depressing.

"Make your move!"

In the end, it was still Song Yuan who could not endure such depression and spoke.

Cao Jian said, "You attack first."

Song Yuan understood that Cao Jian liked to defend and didn't like to attack. He also knew that his opponent's defense was powerful and ordinary attacks were useless. He took out a long sword from his Cosmos Sack and charged towards Cao Jian.

Song Yuan was also a sword cultivator, and, as the number one person in the Martial King of the Sky Origin Sect, his swordsmanship was naturally superior as well, and his attainments in the way of the sword were very high.

Song Yuan understood that Cao Jian could not use too much strength to attack the Black Tortoise, therefore, he could only channel some Spiritual Energy at the tip of the sword. Then, he rushed out and swung his sword at Cao Jian.

This sword contained a powerful sword intent as it slashed towards Cao Jian, bringing with it a howling gale.

Cao Jian used a shield infused with his spirit energy and some of the counterforce from the Black Tortoise, blocking Song Yuan's attack.

Boom! *

As expected, when Song Yuan's sword struck Cao Jian's shield, it only made a sound of collision before being repelled. It did not leave any traces on Cao Jian's shield.

All of this was within Song Yuan's expectations. If he had been able to break through Cao Jian's defenses, Cao Jian would not have ended up giving him such a headache.

"Maybe I can use Cao Jian's shield to sharpen my sword. No need to rush, take your time." Song Yuan thought about Cao Jian and Yang Wu's fight and thought.

Shortly after, he continued to attack Cao Jian with his sword. Cao Jian held his shield as he stiffly blocked Song Yuan's attack.

Just like this, the mechanical battle continued, causing the spectators to ruefully smile. This battle was truly too boring.

Thus, the gazes of many people landed on the arena once again. They wanted to see whether or not there would be another proud son to challenge.

In the previous battle between Yang Wu and Cao Jian, although it was almost the same, but because of Yang Wu and Cao Jian's interaction, it was not that boring. In the previous battle between Yang Wu and Cao Jian, although it was almost the same, but because of Yang Wu and Cao Jian, it was not that boring.

On the arena, the competitors watched the battle between Song Yuan and Cao Jian and felt rather bored.

"This is too boring. He doesn't speak and only makes moves. One wields a sword, and the other fends off the attacks. It's like he's practicing with the sword, meaningless." On the arena, Gong Qianye curled his lips and said.

"It's boring. Then, Sister Thousandleaf, keep challenging. Your current ranking is indeed slightly lower." Yang Liefeng said with a smile.

Hearing that, Gong Qianye was startled, but after that, he laughed: "Little brother Feng, don't worry, I am not willing to take the ninth place, but, I have already used the qualification to do so, only two more times, do not use the good steel recklessly, only after my ranking has stabilized will I take the challenge."

"Makes sense. He's thinking the same thing as me." Yang Liefeng said.

"This is too boring. Since no one wants to challenge me, let me challenge one of them."

Just as Yang Liefeng finished speaking, a pleasant sounding female voice with a hint of grievance sounded.

Immediately, everyone's gazes swept over to the person who spoke.

As a result, everyone's gazes landed on the handsome, tall, and provocative Lu Tingtian.

Lu Qingtian was the number one Martial King disciple of the Jade Soul Sect and was very strong. He was currently the seventh son of the top ten prodigies.

"I am here to challenge the fourth of the top ten chosen, the Gui Hua Sect. Let's try it out, Mo Xu."

Lu Qingtian looked at Mo Xu, his beautiful eyes smiled and said.

"Alright, I accept the challenge." Mo Xu said.

"For the time being, the top ten are ranked seventh, the Jade Soul Sect, and Lu Qingtian." For the time being, the top ten are ranked seventh, the Jade Soul Sect, and Lu Qingtian.

In the center of the plaza, a robust middle-aged man said with spiritual energy in his voice, his voice as loud as a bell.

Immediately, Lu Qingtian and Mo Xu left the Great Games and arrived at the tenth arena.

"I have long heard that senior brother Mo Xu's Shadowmeld Art is extremely powerful. Today, I have come to experience it."

On the tenth arena, Lu Qian Tian said politely with a smile on his face as he looked at Mo Xu.

"Junior Sister Lu is too polite. The Jaded Soul Sect rules the world with their soul skills, and Junior Sister Lu is the strongest in the Jaded Soul Sect's Martial King. I believe her soul skills must be very high. Please give me your guidance." Mo Xu said.

Because the two of them were very polite, there was no friction between the spectators and the fans. The atmosphere of the match was very peaceful.

Crash! *

After Lu Qingtian and Mo Xu finished their pleasantries, they both circulated their spirit energy and began to fight.

Bang bang!

After the two of them circulated their Spiritual Energies, they both rushed towards each other. They first exchanged two palm strikes in an attempt to determine the strength of their Spiritual Energies. They were evenly matched in terms of the strength of their Spiritual Energies.

After that, the two of them continued to spar because their formidable methods would not be displayed before the end of the preheat. As such, before the end of the preheat, their battle was like a simple spar.

However, those watching the competition knew that the battle between the two of them would definitely be very exciting after the end of the preheating. Thus, they patiently waited for the end of the preheating.

It didn't take long before the two of them finished warming up.

Immediately, both parties narrowed their eyes slightly. Their expressions became vigilant as they knew that the other party was not easy to deal with.

Mo Xu's Shadowshadow technique was very powerful. Although its attack power was not very strong, the effects were still very powerful. If used correctly, he could defeat an opponent with a stronger combat strength than him.

Lu Qian Tian's soul technique was also extremely terrifying. With just a slight misstep, he entered his soul!

He let his opponent lose himself in the midst of the happiness of being deceived, and his strength rapidly drained. In the end, he could only be reduced to a fish on the chopping block, waiting to be slaughtered by others.

Shadow Void Technique and Soul Art are indeed extraordinary, but unfortunately, both of these arts drain a lot of soul power. Although the loss isn't that great, there's still a loss, after all.

In the arena, Yang Liefeng looked at Lu Qingtian and Mo Xu, who were standing on stage number 10, and thought.

Yang Liefeng knew all the extremely famous techniques in the Central Region. Furthermore, he had studied them before in his previous life.

Once he had mastered this technique, his body would transform into a shadow when he moved, and when he transformed into a shadow, his body would only be able to take a tenth of the power of the attack. In other words, unless the opponent's cultivation was much stronger than his own, otherwise, it would be impossible to harm his body after the transformation.

Once it was bitten by a Soul Monster, the power of the user's body would be drained even faster. If one was unable to defeat the opponent before the power was gone, one would undoubtedly lose, and one would undoubtedly die in a life and death battle!

As for some soul cultivators with high soul skills, not only could they summon soul monsters to bite their opponents, but they could also gradually drain the opponent's energy. They could also directly use powerful soul skills, and once they were hit by a soul skill, it was very possible that they would lose their soul, directly losing themselves in the happiness of being unable to pull themselves out, unable to awaken. What was even more terrifying was being attacked by this level of soul skill; even if the opponent didn't take advantage of you being lost, you, you would still quickly lose the strength in your body and become a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

Some extremely powerful soul skills could even allow a person's strength and life force to rapidly fade away at the same time, becoming a dying person.

Unfortunately, these two powerful arcane skills both consumed a certain degree of soul force. Therefore, many people were unwilling to cultivate these two arcane skills, especially some of the top powerhouses. They also didn't want to practice this kind of arcane skill, because to them, cultivating this kind of arcane skill had more advantages than disadvantages.

For example, if a War God trained in these two arts, then his soul force would definitely be much weaker than the other War Gods. This way, in battle, his perception would be suppressed, making it inconvenient for him to fight.

Of course, with the help of Shadow Void and Soul Art, he could make up for his shortcomings and improve his combat prowess.

Strictly speaking, it wasn't all that bad.

However, the soul force of a Martial God was extremely powerful. Under the circumstances where one's talent wasn't bad, they would simultaneously become a top alchemist, a top blacksmith, a top talisman master, and a top formation master. They could refine divine pills, divine tools, divine runes, and also set up a top-level great formation.

If one didn't have enough soul force, they would be greatly affected in these aspects. It was possible that they could have refined divine pills, divine artifacts, divine runes, and set up a top-grade great array, but in the end, they could only refine an Emperor Pill, an Emperor Artifact, or an Emperor Symbol. They could only set up a top-grade great array.

One could imagine just how great of a loss this was!

Therefore, even the Sect Masters and Supreme Elders of the Gui Hua Sect and Jade Soul Sect, who had dominated the world with their Shadow Void and Soul Arts, did not practice Shadow Void and Soul Arts.

Most of the disciples in the sect train themselves, however, both sects will choose a few disciples with extremely high aptitudes to train as part of the future upper echelons of the sect. These disciples are not allowed to learn techniques that can damage soul power, and they are also not allowed to come into contact with the rest of the disciples of the sect, lest they accidentally learn such techniques that can damage soul power.

Hence, even the Emperor of Heaven's Pride selection wouldn't allow them to participate.

Therefore, strictly speaking, Mo Xu and Lu Qian Tian might not be the strongest in the Gui Hua Sect and the Jade Soul Sect, because the disciples that they secretly raised might be even more talented than them.

Of course, it was possible that he wasn't stronger than them, because at this stage, the slight disparity in strength of soul force didn't affect him. Instead, he had cultivated the Shadow Void Technique and the Jade Soul Art, so he had an advantage in battle.

Swish swish!

Mo Xu had already used Shadow Void, and while he was moving, his body was fluctuating in the air, dodging the attacks of the transparent soul monsters one by one. Once he was bitten by those strange-looking soul monsters, he would accelerate the loss of his strength, and would not dare to let those fellows bite him.

Lu Qian Tian was still forming seals with his hands, constantly forming more and more soul monsters, attacking Mo Xu. This was because Mo Xu wouldn't sit by idly and watch the amount of soul monsters, he would take the time to attack the soul monsters.

The defense of the soul monsters weren't that strong. After a few attacks from Mo Xu, one of them would be destroyed.

As for soul skills, Lu Qingtian didn't want to use them yet because when he used them, he couldn't condense them into soul monsters, and his soul skills might not be able to hit Mo Xu. If he failed, it wouldn't work at all, moreover, he would need some time to use it, and without enough soul monsters to stop Mo Xu, he wouldn't be able to use it.

Therefore, Lu Qingtian planned on continuously condensing his soul monsters to increase his advantage. After that, he would decide whether or not he should use his soul skill.1
