Chapter 77: Chapter 76: A Close Call

Liu Ming activated his Pupil Technique, stunning Ling Fei’s Heart Soul.

Then, with a flick of his long sword, he thrust it straight toward Ling Fei’s heart.

”Ling Fei!” At that moment, every student in the audience cried out in alarm, their gasps echoing across the arena.

Everyone was worried about Ling Fei.

For such an astonishingly talented chosen one to be struck down by a single sword blow because he was caught by Liu Ming’s Pupil Technique—it would be a terrible waste.

They were all waiting to see this young man rise to prominence and make a name for himself in the Empire!

”Sigh!” The instructors on the platform also frowned.

WHOOSH!

Dean Han made his move as well. A powerful aura swept forward as he tried to stop Liu Ming.

However, Liu Ming’s sword was drawing ever closer to Ling Fei.

The Sword Qi was already striking Ling Fei’s chest.

Ling Fei’s robes were torn, and bloody marks began to appear on his skin.

It was only thanks to Ling Fei’s powerful physique—his muscles and bones as strong as a dragon’s and his skin tougher than an ordinary person’s—that he wasn’t already drenched in his own blood.

”Ah!” Seeing this, Huang Xiaoman let out a sorrowful cry, tears streaming down her face like rain.

”Brother Fei, you haven’t even taken me to hit on all the beautiful girls in the academy yet! How can you die?” Wu Dapang’s face was etched with grief.

”If I’d known Liu Ming’s bloodline was this potent, I never should have let Ling Fei fight!” Instructor Ruo Huan stamped her foot, her face filled with regret.

Still, Ling Fei remained motionless.

The Spiritual Snake Bloodline was a profound and mysterious power.

The Spiritual Snake was said to be able to charm all living beings and seize their very souls.

Therefore, once this Secret Technique was unleashed, Ling Fei’s Heart Spirit was affected.

Then, a potent stream of Soul Power invaded Ling Fei’s mind.

The Soul Power took the form of countless spiritual snakes, slithering toward Ling Fei’s soul.

An ordinary person would find such a soul attack impossible to defend against; their mind would inevitably be paralyzed.

At first, Ling Fei was indeed paralyzed.

However, as the foreign soul invaded his mind, his own soul sensed a grave danger.

In the next instant, Ling Fei’s consciousness snapped back to clarity.

’A soul attack?’ Ling Fei’s Heart Spirit stirred. ’So this is the Liu Clan’s Soul Secret Technique?’

’But if you think you can seize my soul, it won’t be that easy.’

As his Heart Spirit cleared, Ling Fei’s soul stirred to action.

Body of a dragon, soul of a dragon!

His Heart Spirit sank into the True Dragon Visualization Image.

The next moment, Ling Fei’s soul took the form of a dragon and let out a resounding roar within his mind.

ROAR!

The mighty roar reverberated, directly shattering the Soul Power that had invaded Ling Fei’s mind.

VMMMM!

As his Soul Power was shattered, Liu Ming—who was in the middle of thrusting his sword at Ling Fei—felt a flicker in his eyes. His entire body shuddered as if struck by lightning.

Then, the light in his eyes began to dim.

The next moment, a trickle of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.

Liu Ming’s soul had clearly suffered a backlash.

As his soul was injured, the sword in Liu Ming’s hand faltered.

At that moment, the tip of his sword was only a foot away from Ling Fei.

The Sword Qi had already torn Ling Fei’s skin.

Blood flowed down, dyeing his robes red.

Another moment, and the Sword Qi would have pierced Ling Fei’s body and stabbed into his heart.

VMMMM!

At that very moment, Ling Fei’s eyes snapped open.

Immediately, he felt a sharp pain in his chest.

”Liu Ming, you!” Enraged, Ling Fei shot out his left hand, striking with his palm.

Liu Ming had also just regained his senses. With a flash in his eyes, he felt a fierce palm strike sweeping toward him.

Move with the Wind!

He immediately retreated.

But Ling Fei’s palm strike was spontaneous and incredibly fast. Even though Liu Ming retreated, the True Qi erupting from the palm still struck him.

BANG!

The impact of the overbearing True Qi sent Liu Ming flying.

Then, the Cold Qi invaded his body, beginning to freeze his meridians bit by bit.

Ice crystals were already forming on his robes.

”This...” The sudden turn of events stunned Shangguan Hong, who had just appeared on the dueling platform.

Even Dean Han, who had followed him, looked on in astonishment.

’A moment ago, hadn’t Liu Ming used his Secret Technique to paralyze Ling Fei’s Heart Spirit?’

’How did Liu Ming end up spitting blood and being sent flying by a palm strike instead?’

’This is bad. Ling Fei’s Cold Qi is incredibly strong. If he were to attack with his full power, I’m afraid Liu Ming wouldn’t be able to withstand it.’ Shangguan Hong’s expression changed drastically.

After all, Liu Ming had clearly been caught off guard by that last strike.

Caught unprepared, Ling Fei’s Cold Qi would surely surge deep into his body. The consequences would be difficult to predict.

If Liu Ming were to fall here, it would be a major incident.

After all, the Liu Clan had a Primordial Pill Realm expert in its ranks!

If the Liu Clan’s genius were killed, Ling Fei would be in deep trouble.

The current Ling Fei was not yet capable of withstanding the wrath of a Primordial Pill Realm expert.

If a Primordial Pill Realm expert were to make a move, even he, Shangguan Hong, would be powerless to stop it.

At that point, it was unlikely that even Celestial River Academy would stand up for Ling Fei.

After all, the Primordial Pill Realm involved stakes that were far too high. The wrath of such an expert was not something an ordinary person could bear.

Without hesitation, Shangguan Hong reached out and caught the falling Liu Ming.

’This Ling Fei’s Cold Qi is even more tyrannical than before.’ Shangguan Hong frowned as he felt the Cold Qi emanating from Liu Ming’s body.

”How is he?” Dean Han rushed over and asked.

”The Cold Qi has invaded his body, but Liu Ming’s own True Qi is holding it back. It hasn’t reached his heart yet,” Shangguan Hong said after a quick assessment.

This made him breathe a sigh of relief.

If his heart had been sealed by the frost, Liu Ming would have been done for.

Meanwhile, Liu Ming was doing his utmost to circulate the True Qi within his Pill Sea to resist the invading Cold Chi True Qi.

”Sit cross-legged,” Dean Han said, quickly helping Liu Ming into a seated position on the ground.

He then sat cross-legged behind Liu Ming and began circulating his own True Qi to help expel the Cold Qi.

”How are your injuries?” Shangguan Hong asked as he walked over to Ling Fei.

That last sword strike had made his heart leap into his throat.

By now, Ling Fei’s chest was stained red with blood.

”I’m fine. It’s just a flesh wound from the Sword Qi,” Ling Fei said, sighing in relief.

”As long as it’s not serious. Otherwise, I really wouldn’t know how to face your father,” Shangguan Hong said, breathing a small sigh of relief.

He had promised Elder Ling he would look after Ling Fei, after all.

If Ling Fei had fallen here, how could he possibly explain it?

’The Liu Clan’s Bloodline Eye Technique is nearly impossible to defend against.’ Ling Fei nodded slightly, his gaze shifting to the cross-legged Liu Ming in front of him.

Thinking back on it, he felt a lingering fear.

He had been just moments away from having his heart pierced.

If that had happened, he truly would have died.

”The world of Martial Arts is vast, and its techniques are endless. One can never afford to underestimate anyone,” Ling Fei murmured.

The stronger he became, the more he realized the vastness of the path of Martial Arts.

’To gain a foothold in the Martial Arts World, my only choice is to train hard and constantly improve.’

”Don’t sell yourself short. Based on your performance just now, I’d say it’s hard to find another new student at Celestial River Academy who could match you,” Shangguan Hong said.

Even now, he couldn’t understand how Ling Fei, who had clearly been paralyzed by Liu Ming’s Bloodline Eye Technique, had managed to counter-attack in time.

Furthermore, the moment Ling Fei’s eyes opened, Liu Ming looked as though he’d suffered a backlash.

It was all very bewildering.

Ling Fei simply nodded, not saying much.

’This is all thanks to the True Dragon Refining God Technique. It made my soul incredibly powerful, allowing me to gather the True Dragon Momentum and shatter that Pupil Technique.’

Ling Fei understood this perfectly.
