"First try to weaken the Divine Sonâs state as much as possible. If that doesnât work, then consider other options."
Thoughts flashed through his mind rapidly, his Primordial Power erupted, and he charged toward the Divine Son once again.
At the same time.
The Divine Son, who was focusing on devouring the black mist to increase himself, also noticed this [little bug] obstructing his growth and waved his hand. The two collided together.
On the other side.
Qin Jin closed his eyes slightly.
As his Primordial Power howled, the tide rose again.
Fourfold Wave.
His Heart Spirit focused inward, and the power within the Spirit Ruins was mobilized.
If the Celestial Strategy Squad hadnât arrived, he would have adopted a different fighting style. But with help around, he was preparing to gather strength for a decisive strike.
Within the Spirit Ruins, Spiritual Power surged like tides.
The shadow of the Fire God appeared, merging into himself. Around Qin Jin, there was nothing unusual, but his momentum climbed higher and higher.
Grotto Heaven, Fire God, Thunder Marsh!
With the assistance of the three, at a certain moment, Qin Jinâs eyes suddenly opened.
In his eyes, the scene of the Spirit Ruins was reflected.
He pointed forward with his fingers like a sword, and his momentum burst forth, kicking up dust. Long Yunâan, who was fighting with the Divine Son, came into view, and on a mental level, his voice resonated, conveying a message to the other.
"Retreat."
The word "retreat" exploded like a thunderclap on the mental level.
After the giant palm of the Divine Son swept down, Long Yunâan let go of his force and retreated a certain distance. As the sound of the word "retreat" echoed, a strong sense of warning surged in his heart. Without any hesitation, he abruptly pulled back further.
In the instant he widened the distance.
Qin Jinâs power roared out.
Primordial Power intertwined with Spiritual Power. After undergoing numerous transformations, these two powers were indistinguishable. At this moment, under Qin Jinâs accumulation, they surged forth like a torrent, rushing towards the Divine Son.
Without Long Yunâanâs interference, the Divine Sonâs growth rate returned to normal.
But at this moment, as if sensing danger, the constantly surging black mist condensed in front of him, forming a shield to block.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
The power torrent surged forward, and under Qin Jinâs control, the offensive tactics hidden within the Thunder Marsh Technique were deployed. With Primordial Power on the outside and Spiritual Power on the inside, the power condensed into a form that combined thunder and fire. In the process, it subtly transformed into the shape of a Divine Beast from myths and legends.
That was...
Qilin!
Thunderfire Qilin!
Its shape gradually formed, with thunder and fire intertwined under Qin Jinâs control. These two most rigid forces in the world were being controlled at this moment, not in restraint, but for a stronger explosion.
The power torrent surged forward.
Just before touching the shield formed by the black mist, the Qilin fully formed. Its eyes opened, reflecting thunder and fire.
In the next second, this Divine Beast formed by power directly struck the black mist shield.
At the moment of contact, the black mist was disintegrated by thunder and fire, the Qilin charged forward, annihilating everything, and after breaking through the defense, the Qilin leapt, its forelimbs stepping onto the Divine Sonâs chest.
Qilin steps on Divine Son.
With one step, power erupted, with thunderfire power piercing through its chest. The Divine Sonâs body fell towards the ground, but in the process of falling, the light in the Qilinâs eyes flashed, and at a certain moment, it completely exploded!
The power contained within exploded completely at that instant, thunder and flames intertwined, engulfing everything. The Divine Sonâs body began to disintegrate, while the flames burning in mid-air ignited the black mist, spreading along it, burning in the air, and lighting up the night sky.
Bang!
The Divine Sonâs body hit the ground.
Boom boom boom!
The continuous explosions of power continued, destroying everything, and its might spread.
All around.
The students of Celestial Strategy Academy stopped their actions, their eyes reflecting the thunder and fire, watching this scene.
Though it seemed slow as things were said, they happened quickly.
Amid the successive power explosions, it was unclear when the black mist stopped emanating from the Polluterâs body.
This signified that the Divine Sonâs third stageâs strongest ability had been broken.
Long Yunâan, closest to the battlefield, looked at the thunder and fire still disintegrating the Divine Sonâs body, then shifted his gaze to the instigator of it all.
Qin Jin!
He stood there, fingers pointed like a sword, in a sword gesture.
As if sensing Long Yunâanâs gaze, Qin Jin turned and looked at him.
Qin Jinâs face was somewhat pale, showing signs of significant exhaustion from the recent attack. Yet, looking at the calm expression on his pale face, Long Yunâan felt a chill in his heart.
"What a terrifying person."
The thought flashed through his mind.
Ahead, Qin Jinâs questioning voice rang out.
"Are you the leader of Celestial Strategy Academy?"
Hearing the question, Long Yunâan was momentarily stunned but then shook his head, saying: "No."
"Iâm a third-year student of Celestial Strategy Academy, General Level."
"If there were an accurate ranking within the General Level, Iâd probably rank as a Grand General, but definitely not as good as the [Commander] of my year."
Qin Jin raised his eyebrows slightly.
He could hear the conviction in the other partyâs words.
"Did he not participate in such an important event as the Limit-Breaking Cup either?"
Qin Jinâs question sounded.
"He was originally supposed to participate."
The thunderfire continued to erupt, and Long Yunâanâs voice became calmer: "But due to a sudden mission summons, he didnât come."
The Commander of Celestial Strategy being summoned, there was undoubtedly only the Military Department of the Federation with such authority.
"Qin Jin."
Long Yunâan looked at Qin Jin and continued: "It seems youâre quite interested in our Celestial Strategyâs Commander."
"There will be opportunities in the future."
"People like you are all monsters. When you interact in the future, youâll definitely have a lot in common."
"But it seems..."
He thought of Qin Jinâs age, then the strike just now: "You seem to be even more of a monster than our Celestial Strategyâs third-year Commander."
