Chapter 215: Chapter 184 Purple Shining Soul Ring_1

The Purple Radiant Soul Ring is a tier three Divine Skill specifically meant for defense against Soul Attacks. It has quite a reputation in the Tianhe Sect not only because it possesses top-tier secret skill scrolls, but also because it’s notoriously difficult to cultivate. No one has managed to master it for over five hundred years.

“A Divine Secret Skill that even numerous geniuses failed to master was actually cultivated by him, interesting!”

A few disciples at the Foundation Establishment Stage gathered and discussed. “Could it be that this Secret Skill can only be cultivated by those with deficit souls?”

Everyone paused, feeling like it might be a possibility.

However, regardless of how much the Secret Skill could benefit them, no one would be foolish enough to damage their own soul.

“His Purple Radiant Soul Ring has already reached the highest level of Nine

Rings. It seems Qu Qingdream is going to lose!”

An elder aware of the specifics of the Purple Radiant Soul Ring sighed in his heart.

The song was almost over for Qu Qingdream on the stage. She was greatly exhausted and no longer had the strength to continue fighting.

Not to mention, the two of them also had a certain agreement.

The crowd realized that it wasn’t Qu Qingdream who had set a trap for Xu Mu;

Xu Mu had set a trap for Qu Qingdream.

Obviously, Xu Mu had specialized in Soul Secret Skills, and his strong point was his soul defense.

If Qu Qingdream had not taken the bet, she might not necessarily have lost in a head-on fight.

After all, it’s impossible to be proficient in everything.

Of course, you can’t entirely blame Qu Qingdream. Who could possibly foresee Xu Mu turning his weakness into his strength?

“Host!”

Qu Qingdream placed her fingers on the strings of her instrument and took a deep breath.

She gently caressed her instrument, seeming a little unwilling to part with it.

She quietly sighed to herself.

With a light flick of the sleeve, the Yaoqin flew towards Xu Mu.

“I hope you will cherish it well, junior brother!”

“Certainly!”

Xu Mu took the Yaoqin with a smile.

This specific Magic Artifact is difficult to craft and therefore extremely valuable. Aside from this, it also has other uses for him.

“Hmph!”

Seeing Xu Mu take the artifact without any hesitation, Qu Qingdream could not help but snort.

She originally thought Xu Mu would be a bit polite, or even return the Yaoqin to win her favor.

Who knew he was really going to take it, acting as if it was the most natural thing in the world!

Qu Qingdream was inwardly irritated and silently cursed Xu Mu for being insensitive.

She vowed to teach him a lesson whenever she got the chance.

After Qu Qingdream stepped off the stage, she received a wave of consolation from her admirers. On Xu Mu’s side, things seemed a bit quiet. Even Qi Yue had gone over to Qu Qingdream for fear of her settling the score in the future. You simply can’t mess with a catty woman!

“Junior brother, you’re really amazing! You managed to cultivate this Divine Skill quietly!” Li Heng excitedly said.

“As long as you defeat Lu Baiyu tomorrow, you’ll be number one. Our Lonely Sword Peak hasn’t won first place in the competition for hundreds of years. If our master knew, he’d be overjoyed!”

Luo Qingchen’s face was beaming.

Ever since Xu Mu rose to prominence, her smiles became increasingly frequent.

“Hmph! He thinks he can beat our senior brother just by dreaming?” Someone overhead Luo Qingchen’s words and disdainfully retorted.

Li Heng wanted to argue, but was stopped by Xu Mu.

“We won’t know who will win or lose until the competition. Who knows, he might get eliminated today!” Xu Mu smiled.

There were two matches today. The first one was between Xu Mu and Qu Qingdream, and the second was between Lu Baiyu and Shen Zhong.

The main event was always saved for last.

“You- ”

One of the disciples was almost brought to fury by Xu Mu’s slander against his idol, but he resisted due to the presence of the law enforcement disciples and their difference in strength.

“With Lu Baiyu’s capabilities, how could he possibly lose? You just wait and see. Tomorrow, Lu Baiyu will show you who’s the sect’s number one. Don’t you think that beating a foolish woman means you are invincible…

Perhaps due to anger, this disciple was being somewhat indiscreet with his words. Unbeknownst to him, a cold gaze had turned in his direction.

The crowd immediately expressed their sympathy. Of all the people to aggravate, he just had to cross the sensitive woman. He was done for! Not even the Supreme Ancestor could save him now!

“Lu Baiyu is not comparable to that foolish woman at all. That woman isn’t even fit to carry his shoes…”

His few buddies silently moved away, abandoning him and feigning ignorance. Unaware of his loyal fan making enemies on his behalf, Lu Baiyu gracefully ascended the stage, prompting a wave of shrill screams.

Whether it was his appearance or demeanor, Lu Baiyu perfectly exemplified the phrase ‘handsome and extraordinary’. He could make a living off his looks alone.

Handsome and talented, truly comparing humans could just kill!

Before stepping onto the stage, Lu Baiyu glanced over at Xu Mu, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

On the other side, Shen Zhong also ascended to the stage.

in contrast to Lu Baiyu’s radiant and handsome demeanor, Shen Zhong was the very other extreme, not ugly, simply ordinary.

His features were ordinary, his figure was ordinary, his temperament was ordinary. Even the stylish white robes of the disciples seemed commonplace when worn by him.

A grin spread across his face, projecting an air of pure and clear stupidity. This made Xu Mu can’t help but be reminded of Big Bull and Er Niu. However, while his appearance was ordinary, his strength was anything but. The Defense Earth Armor Skill he cultivated was unknowingly at what level, but no other disciple had been able to break through it so far in the recent rounds. His offensive capabilities were equally extraordinary. Have you ever seen a sword forty meters long?

That’s what Shen Zhong was using!

The strength of his Sword Qi was unbelievable, while others could condense just a few hundreds of Sword Qi, he was able to condense a gigantic Sword Qi forty meters long.

On the restricted stage, his sword swing hardly missed anyone.

However, Lu Baiyu was unanimously regarded as the top genius of this generation, his abilities were unquestionable. This was surely going to be a fierce battle, where unless one was a doe-eyed fan of Lu Baiyu, nobody dared to guarantee that Lu Baiyu would win.

They initially thought that Qu Qingdream would win, but he ended up losing anyway!

Who knows if there would be another upset this time.

Once both of them had ascended the stage, the bell rang at the right moment.

“Senior Brother Lu, I won’t be polite!”

Shen Zhong laughed foolishly, applied his defense first, and then brought out his magic sword, collected the immense Sword Qi, dozens of meters long, and slashed towards Lu Baiyu.

Lu Baiyu confronted with a smile, patted his storage bag, and instantly dozens of flying swords, each about the size of a palm, flew out.

These miniature flying swords merged into a giant sword, colliding with the giant Sword Qi of Shen Zhong.

The resonance was thunderous, for a while neither gaining an upper hand. “Senior Brother Lu is indeed powerful, then I have to—” Shen Zhong grasped his magic sword tightly, the Sword Qi expanded again, like a giant divine weapon, its power was considerably enhanced. His one strike shattered Lu Baiyu’s giant sword and aimed towards Lu Baiyu again. “Damn! Is Senior Brother Lu going to lose? I’ve bet a lot of money on him! Everyone’s hearts were raised in an instant.

Facing this attack that seemed about to crush him, Lu Baiyu did not reveal any panic, he used his spell and also conjured up a protective shield.

Unlike Shen Zhong’s earthy yellow, his was light blue, seemingly water attribute.

“No way? Is Senior Brother going to resist it forcibly?

Everyone was shocked.

After several rounds of matches, they only know that Lu Baiyu had a powerhouse offensive, and few could withstand his three attacked. But in the aspect of defense, no one had ever seen him display, thus they were all on edge.

Shen Zhong’s eyes flickered a bit, revealing a hint of astuteness. He didn’t hesitate at all, on the contrary, his Sword Qi expanded a bit more.

Boom!

The Sword Qi fell, causing ripples to rise from the defense barrier, yet it held firm and did not shatter.

“It was blocked?”

“Never thought Senior Brother Lu would excel in defensive magic too!!” Everyone was shocked.

This was simply a freak, no weak points.

Shen Zhong was unwilling and unleashed a few more slashes, but in the end, he was unable to break it.

“junior brother Shen, you better give it your all! Or else, you’re no match for me!” Lu Baiyu said indifferently.

Despite being the one cornered, his tone was full of confidence. “What? Does that mean Shen Zhong hasn’t given his all yet?

Everyone was incredulous.

After so many rounds of matches, nobody had forced out his full strength. They’re all geniuses, is the gap really this huge?

Everyone was shook and in disbelief, until Shen Zhong admitted it himself. “You are really something, Senior Brother Lu, I knew I couldn’t hide it from you!”

Shen Zhong laughed, his aura fluctuated drastically, his skin started to turn bright red, as though there was a ball of magma burning inside him, his body also began to swell rapidly.

The next moment, his skin cracked, and indeed, there was magma flowing inside.

The intense heat distorted the air around the entire ring, making everyone’s forms vague.

“It’s a bloodline! A special bloodline!” Everyone quickly realized, this peculiar spectacle doesn’t look like a divine secret spell, but more like a bloodline awakening.

“Now this is getting interesting!”
