Chapter 269 -265: The Strongest Decisive Battle
"Yes, after Situ Lin Yu broke through to the Innate stage, he successfully condensed an âEvil Spiritâ.â
An Evil Spirit Instituteâs gray-robed instructor smirked with pride.
He too was utterly astonished when Situ Lin Yu first condensed the Evil Spirit.
He then personally instructed Situ Lin Yu on nurturing the Evil Spirit, enhancing its strength. In a few months, Situ Lin Yuâs Evil Spirit had grown incredibly terrifying.
In the eyes of the gray-robed instructor, Situ Lin Yu was bound to win first place in this freshman competition.
He followed Situ Lin Yuâs wishes and didnât publicize this matter.
At this moment, seeing the astonished faces of other instructors, the gray-robed instructor felt very pleased.
On the challenge platform.
Swoosh!
The big-headed Evil Spiritâs form flickered, emitting strange cries that seemed to penetrate the soul and awaken evil thoughts from within.
"Evil Spirit!â
Duan Hao looked at the grotesque and ugly Evil Spirit, his expression slightly stern.
Suddenly.
Buzz!
The big-headed Evil Spiritâs eyes flashed with black light, emitting a strange spiritual power.
"Not good!â
Duan Hao immediately realized something was amiss.
The world before him darkened again, and his perception abilities rapidly diminished.
"Hehe, my Evil Spirit can also cast âBlack Night Pupil Skillâ!â
Situ Lin Yu chuckled lightly.
The Black Night Pupil Skill was the Spiritual Pupil Technique that Situ Lin Yu just used, and his Evil Spirit could use it too.
Normally, those at the early Innate stage, with just one glance into his eyes, would be affected by the Illusion Technique, unable to exhibit their full strength.
If he and the Evil Spirit cast this secret technique simultaneously, their power would be even greater.
"This Situ Lin Yu actually has such methods!â
Cao Zhongtian shook his head.
Facing Situ Lin Yu, his performance wouldnât be much better than Duan Haoâs current state.
The other Innate Strong People in the top ten also grew solemn, their eyes on Situ Lin Yu filled with a hint of wariness.
On the challenge platform.
After enduring two attacks from the âBlack Night Pupil Skillâ, Duan Hao struggled mightily, his strength declining sharply.
However, from the beginning, Duan Hao had regarded Situ Lin Yu as his strongest competitor.
He was aware of Situ Lin Yuâs formidable aspects, how could he have been unprepared.
"Shocking God Killing Technique!â
Duan Hao formed a hand seal, the Evil Qi surged around his body, and a wave of spiritual power fluctuated from within him.
The Evil Qi and spiritual power fused, forming an ethereal tiger shadow exerting tremendous spiritual intimidating power.
Howl~
The ethereal tiger shadow roared intensely, a powerful spiritual force echoing from Duan Haoâs mind.
Instantly, the world before Duan Hao brightened, and his condition returned to its peak.
"Is this the Evil Path Spiritual Secret Technique?â
Chen Yuâs eyes lit up.
However, this was not a spiritual attack technique but rather an auxiliary secret technique that could instantly dispel illusions.
Roar~
After breaking the spiritual illusion, Duan Hao deployed the âDevilish Evil Frenzy Shadowâ, his speed explosively increasing as he charged towards Situ Lin Yu.
Around them, countless people held their breath, watching this scene on the platform.
When everyone thought Situ Lin Yu would surely win after bringing out the Evil Spirit,
Who would have expected Duan Hao to be well-prepared, having cultivated a technique to destroy spiritual illusions.
"Hehe, I knew it wouldnât be that easy to take you down!â
Situ Lin Yuâs lips curled into a slight smile, as if everything was within his expectations.
"Evil Fire Strike!â
Situ Lin Yu grunted lowly.
Dark-gray Evil Fire suddenly ignited on the big-headed Evil Spirit, its body seeming to transform into a fireball, smashing towards Duan Hao.
Boom! Swoosh!
Noticing this, Duan Hao forcefully pushed with his right foot, changing direction.
However, the gray Evil Fire, possessing some intelligence, also changed direction, pursuing Duan Hao.
Boom!
The gray fireball hit Duan Hao, a burst of gray spiritual flames exploding.
Swoosh!
A flash of gray light, and the big-headed Evil Spirit floated out with a strange laugh.
On the spot.
"Ah
Duan Haoâs spirit was scorched by the Evil Fire, he screamed in agony while clutching his head.
Swoosh!
Situ Lin Yuâs figure flickered and came close, striking with a palm, blasting Duan Hao off the challenge platform.
"Duan Hao is defeated!â
The crowd couldnât help but exclaim.
Taking back the Evil Spirit, Situ Lin Yu lightly leaped back onto the stone platform, glancing at Chen Yu as if declaring war.
Chen Yu, being a Body Cultivator, was indeed weak in spiritual aspects. However, after acquiring the Moon Spirit Ore Mother and the Ancient Spiritual Secret Technique âHeavenly Heart Refiningâ, this was no longer an issue.
Currently, Chen Yuâs spiritual power far surpassed that of ordinary Early Innates, facing Situ Lin Yuâs Spirit Secret Technique, he should have strong resistance.
"Hmm?â
Seeing Chen Yuâs expression unchanged, Situ Lin Yu was slightly surprised.
The ranking battles continued.
With Duan Haoâs challenge failed, it was now the turn of Zhang Nan, ranked fifth.
Zhang Nan was somewhat confused, unable to think rationally, but he knew he was no match for Chen Yu.
Moreover, the strength Situ Lin Yu had just displayed had significantly intimidated him.
"I challenge Cao Zhongtian!â
Zhang Nanâs hoarse voice rang out.
"Hmph, a madman corrupted by demonic intent, ignorant of death!â
Cao Zhongtianâs expression turned furious.
He was previously considered the most likely candidate to take first place, even though he wasnât now, it still wasnât his turn to be challenged by just any Tom, Dick, or Harry.
Boom!
Cao Zhongtian fiercely landed on the challenge platform, pulling out a pitch-black giant axe.
He was merciless, with an unmatched fierce offensive. In less than twenty moves, he defeated Zhang Nan.
Next up was Luo Yongguang, ranked fourth.
"I challenge Cao Zhongtian!â
Luo Yongguang looked at Cao Zhongtian.
Although the task Luo Haotian gave him had failed, he still wanted to compete for a better ranking.
Chen Yu and Situ Lin Yuâhe had no chance at all, but he thought he might try his luck with Cao Zhongtian.
"Cao Zhongtian, you just fought, you can postpone for one match!â
The judge reminded him.
"No need!â
Cao Zhongtian roared.
He had just been challenged by Zhang Nan; one could say Zhang Nan was a bit irrational, but now being challenged by Luo Yongguang infuriated him immensely.
If he chose to postpone, wouldnât he be signaling to everyone that he was afraid of Luo Yongguang?
"Giant Troll Thirteen Axes!â
Cao Zhongtian immediately wielded his secret skill, and formidable demonic axes whistled out, dominating the arena.
On the other side, Luo Yongguang never underestimated Cao Zhongtian and gave his all.
Boom!
On the challenge platform, the shadow of the giant axe interlocked with Purple Flame Saber Slash, creating an astounding storm.
Compared to Cao Zhongtianâs âGiant Troll Thirteen Axes,â Luo Yongguangâs âPurple Flame Demon Light Slashâ was slightly inferior.
However, Luo Yongguangâs weapon was of finer quality than Cao Zhongtianâs, so for the moment the two were evenly matched.
At a certain moment.
Cao Zhongtian and Luo Yongguang both activated their Ancient Clan Bloodline, escalating the battle further.
"Die, the thirteenth axe, âGiant Troll Mountain Openingâ!â
Cao Zhongtianâs face was ferocious like a real demon, his giant axe carrying an overwhelming demonic power smashed down.
Luo Yongguangâs expression darkened as he wielded the Glazed Treasure Saber, channeling his bloodline and desperately slashing out a white and purple wave of light.
Clang!
When they collided, the white and purple wave held up for a moment before being devoured by the giant axe shadow.
Boom!
Luo Yongguang was blasted off the platform, vomiting several mouthfuls of blood.
"This guy!â
Cao Zhongtian gasped for breath, inwardly shocked.
In the previous competition, Luo Yongguang also participated but didnât even make the top ten.
Yet in this competition, Luo Yongguang had forced him to fight with all his strength.
Luo Yongguangâs challenge failed, and next it was the third-ranked Cao Zhongtianâs turn to challenge.
"I give up!â
Cao Zhongtian said very reluctantly.
The first and second were both the ones who defeated Duan Hao; was he a match for them?
Moreover, Cao Zhongtian had fought back to back, which had greatly drained him.
Additionally, he gave up the challenge, and his chances to challenge were all used up, achieving at best third in this competition.
After Cao Zhongtian forfeited, almost all eyes on the mountain turned to Situ Lin Yu.
"Itâs unbelievable; Duan Hao defeated Cao Zhongtian, but Chen Yu and Situ Lin Yu subsequently defeated Duan Hao. I wonder who will win between the two of them?â
"Isnât that obvious? Have you ever heard of any Body Cultivator skilled in the spiritual aspect? For Chen Yu, Situ Lin Yu is the worst opponent!â
"Thatâs right. I bet Chen Yu is not even as good as Duan Hao, maybe he canât even withstand Situ Lin Yuâs âDark Night Secret Pupilâ!â
The crowd was abuzz with discussion.
However, almost everyone was certain that Chen Yu was bound to lose, and his performance might even be worse than Duan Haoâs.
On the loft.
"It seems that this competitionâs winner will be Situ Lin Yu!â said Mr. Xu from the Devil Wind Institute, sighing.
The grey-robed instructor from the Evil Spirit Institute couldnât help but smile, slightly proud.
It had been several years since the Evil Spirit Institute had won first place in the newcomers competition.
"However, Chen Yu also did quite well, only he, being a Body Cultivator, faced the Spiritually skilled Situ Lin Yu.â
Another instructor felt sorry for Chen Yu.
On Yunyang Academyâs side.
"Pay more attention to these two; in the next Academy Confrontation, we might encounter them!â the Cloud Robed Elder transmitted to several disciples.
What the elder referred to, the Academy Confrontation, was a grand gathering of all the prodigies from hundreds of academies across Yun Zhao Country.
The disciplesâ faces showed shock and astonishment.
To them, the performance of No Demon Academyâs newcomers competition was unexpected, but even the strongest, Situ Lin Yu, or Chen Yu, they could easily crush.
However, prodigies grow quickly; in a few years, these two might actually catch up to their pace.
"Situ Lin Yu is a genius of the Situ Family; he might be able to catch up to us, but that Chen Yu, being a Body Cultivator, has a very difficult path ahead, and he might not be able to participate!â
Lv Ze shook his head and chuckled lightly.
He didnât believe that Chen Yu, whom he considered no better than ants at this moment, could catch up to his pace.
âŠ
Demon Sky Peak gradually quieted down.
Chen Yu and Situ Lin Yu had taken the stage, all eyes were on them, and, barring any accidents, the victor of this battle would be the ultimate winner!
"Chen Yu, didnât expect my final opponent to be you?â Situ Lin Yu asked with a light chuckle.
"Oh? Did you know from the start that you would make it all the way to the end?â Chen Yu countered.
"Not only did I know I would make it to the end, but I also knew I would be the first!â Situ Lin Yu replied, his expression calm and his words filled with immense confidence.
"Letâs try then!â Chen Yuâs eyes flashed with a gleam of fighting spirit.
He had thought his strength would easily earn him first place and a hefty reward.
Unexpectedly, Chen Yu had encountered an opponent he took so seriously; in that case, it was time to fight with all his might.
"But I donât know, what gives you the confidence to fight against me?â Situ Lin Yuâs deep eyes stared at Chen Yu.
The two faced each other from a distance, the wind howling between them.
Suddenly.
Roar!
With a howling gust of wind, Chen Yu attacked like a pitch-black fierce beast, launching the first attack.
