Chapter 22: A Desperate Blow

  In an instant, a brilliant light burst forth, and the air was filled with strands of soul energy that surrounded the sword spirit as it flashed about. The sword spirit danced in mid-air, not attacking Su Qingchen at all.

  Bing Yu looked at Guo Xiang dancing randomly with the sword spirit on stage, his face showing a puzzled expression. After seeing the soul power in the air fall into chaos, he couldn't help but secretly cry out "not good" and start worrying about Su Qingchen. The principal that old bald donkey actually passed down the high-level Qing Huan Soul Technique to Guo Xiang, no wonder the teachers all said Guo Xiang would surely win the championship.

  Kuang Xiang's move is precisely the strongest auxiliary soul technique of Stan School, which can both defend and assist. As the soul spirit swings, it creates a space of chaotic soul power. When attacking, the chaotic space is sent into the opponent's body along with the attack, making it impossible for the opponent to absorb soul power to supplement their combat needs. It can also block the chaotic space in front of itself, absorbing the opponent's attack while disrupting their attack trajectory.

  Although it's just a high-level Qing Huan soul technique, its application value is comparable to the low-ranking Lu Xuan soul decision. It's one of the top three soul techniques in the Stan School Soul Pavilion. Fortunately, Guo Xiang can only use this soul technique for simple defense, which should be to prevent Su Qingchen's strange attack speed.

  Watching Su Qing stand still, Bing Yu's heart was secretly anxious. Taking advantage of the fact that Guo Xiang had not yet fully utilized his soul technique, she launched another sneak attack on him, making it impossible for him to continue using the soul decision. Otherwise, once the soul technique took effect, all that awaited them was a crushing defeat.

  Su Qingchen's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, watching Guozi Xiang wield the sword spirit. Su Qingchen was actually lost in thought, following the evolution of each move and entering a state of unity between body and mind, forgetting himself.

  Guo Xiang's right hand danced out a circle, and the soul power in front of him was chaotic and disorderly. Although it was only half a square meter in size, it was already shocking. Such a soul technique was truly amazing. After completing the soul technique, Guo Xiang smiled, withdrew his right hand, and placed the sword spirit horizontally on his chest. The corners of his mouth slightly curled up, and his handsome appearance made the group of girls below the stage infatuated.

  Guo Xiang smiled at Su Qingchen and said, "Being able to use this soul decision means I have high expectations of you. I hope you won't disappoint me, bring out your full strength and let's have a good fight." After finishing his sentence, Guo Xiang found that Su Qingchen had no reaction, and he couldn't help but think: Could it be that this guy is ignoring me?

  His complexion changed slightly, Sword Spirit made a swift turn, blocking the chaotic space in front of him like a shield. Guo Xiang's right foot stomped fiercely on the ground, his body leapt up, and with his hand grasping Sword Spirit, he drew an arc in mid-air, as Sword Spirit thrust towards Su Qingchen's forehead.

  In the state of enlightenment, Su Qingchen felt a crisis and instinctively raised his right hand. His soul shield appeared in front of him, blocking the attack. After parrying the blow, he cleverly imprinted the attack trajectory into his mind. His soul decree rotated, and his palm continuously gathered soul power.

  "Duanjian zhanchi di'er shi hui kong zhan." Along with the low, muffled voice, Su Qingchen's figure leapt up, and the small sword in mid-air made a swift and fierce swing. A beautiful color declared the destructive power of Hui Kong Zhan. The sword spirit slid across the chaotic space in front of Guo Xiang, half of his dual-colored soul force was shattered by the turbulent soul force, but still had a general attack that pierced through the chaotic space to attack Guo Xiang's face.

  "Pretty, what a clever kid." Bing Yu's indifferent face revealed a hint of a smile as he murmured.

  Kuang Xiang saw Su Qingchen use a group attack skill to break his own soul technique special effect, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration in his heart. It's been a long time since he met such an opponent, this is an opponent worth fighting against. With a swing of his sword, Kuang Xiang blocked the incoming soul power, and put away his smile. His serious expression showed that he had officially entered the competitive state. However, Su Qingchen's expressionless face made him feel somewhat inexplicably puzzled.

  The palm of his hand was emitting a faint blue, red and yellow glow, the three colors proclaiming its unique status as if it were an imperial edict. The Three Attribute Battle Soul Spirit, the King of Spirits among spirits, the Saintly Peak Spirit, was enough to make all soul masters in the world envy, jealous and resentful. Guo Xiang looked at the palm spirit and said in a low voice: "Qian Huan Sha" As soon as his voice fell, the sword spirit seemed to have gained spirituality, constantly changing its trajectory in mid-air, making it impossible for anyone to discern its attack route.

  Wu Zhong's Su Qingchen didn't even look at the attack, relying solely on his sense of crisis, he casually drew a line in front of him and actually blocked Guo Xiang's blow. This simple yet effective move left people feeling impressed by Su Qingchen's mastery of soul techniques.

  It's not that Su Qingchen is particularly formidable, but rather that the Su Qingchen in a state of enlightenment didn't see Guo Xiang's attack coming and only instinctively blocked the sword spirit that was about to strike him. Often, the simplest attacks can achieve the best results.

  Just now, Su Qingchen grasped something in his epiphany and successfully practiced the third form of Broken Sword Slaughter in his mind. After perfecting it, he instinctively gripped the sword spirit and drew an S-shaped wavy line. When Guo Xiang's attack arrived, he stomped his right foot, his body surging forward, and his soul power continuously poured into the sword spirit. The dazzling light around him disappeared when it pierced through the chaotic space in front of Guo Xiang, replaced by a "clash" as the chaotic soul power scattered everywhere. The space constructed by Guo Xiang shattered, and the sword spirit that stabbed out of the space only paused for a moment before stabbing towards Guo Xiang again.

  Guo Xiang's face changed slightly, and he suddenly waved his hand. Sword Spirit directly chopped at Su Qingchen's forehead. Su Qingchen, who was in a state of enlightenment, had completely followed the thoughts in his mind to practice the third form of Duanjian Zhan, "Stabbing Empty Slash", and no longer had any sense of danger, only knowing how to perfectly execute the attack.

  "Madman!" Guo Xiang cursed loudly, his right hand suddenly shrinking back, crossing in front of his chest. As the small sword Ling stabbed at the long sword, Guo Xiang took advantage of the momentum to retreat several steps backward.

  The crowd under the stage showed a look of surprise as Su Qingchen broke through the chaotic space, and before they could even praise him, he chose to attack with his life on the line, using his own forehead to exchange for others' chests, all of which were fatal spots. Many people thought to themselves, if it were them, would they have this courage? The answer was a definite no, who wouldn't cherish their own life?

  Ice Rain's eyebrows furrowed, and she couldn't help but let out a curse. "You're going to get yourself killed! If anything happens to you, I'll...I'll kill you!" The normally calm Ice Rain was actually getting flustered at this moment, seemingly worried about Su Qingchen on stage, her words becoming somewhat incoherent.

  After completing the attack, Su Qingchen landed on the ground, shook his head, laughed out loud and said: "What's the name of that move? It's pretty good, it actually made me realize the last two moves of Duan Jian Zhan."

  Su Qingchen's words left everyone with their mouths agape. To comprehend skills during battle and grasp two moves in a row, this kid's talent was simply too strong.

  "My move is called Soul Void Shield, a high-level Qing Huan Soul Skill. I've only been practicing it for a few days and haven't fully mastered it yet, or else you wouldn't have been able to break through it with one hit." As he spoke, Guo Xiang's eyes flashed with a fierce killing intent, his entire body radiating an aura of battle readiness. He paused for a moment before continuing, "Since you've grasped the skill, let's have a good fight then!"
