Chapter 200 (1/2)

Ping Yang smirked.

She didn't even ask for help from Fang Zhengzhi or Yan Xiu. She immediately sprang into action, attacking the Heavenly Reflection State Xing Qingsui despite being in the Star Conglomerate State.

This was not a wise decision. It was too rash.

However, Ping Yang made the decision without any hesitation. Her crystal clear eyes were filled with arrogance, the arrogance of a princess.

There was also a hint of stubborness.

This was Ping Yang.

She unleashed the Blazing Qilin Spear, a tall column of flame shooting skyward. It crashed down towards Xing Qingsui, a golden light flas.h.i.+ng in the sea of fire.

It was like a lamp in a storm.

”Roar!” The beast like aura filled the sky.

This was one of the ten greatest treasures of the Great Xia Empire, the most powerful weapon there was. It could pierce any material and burn the area to ashes. Who dared to go up against it?

The candidates near Xing Qingsui unconsciously retreated a few steps.

None of them dared to get too close to the Blazing Qilin Spear. Who knows if it'll cause any collateral damage?

Furthermore...

They knew that if Xing Qingsui wanted to defeat the Blazing Qilin Spear bearing Ping Yang, his only chance was a roaming battle.

He had to dodge the lethality of the Blazing Qilin Spear.

If he could do so, he should emerge victorious.

However, against their expectations, Xing Qingsui did not dodge. Not only did he not retreat, he advanced and went into the sea of fire.

”Is he crazy?!”

All of the other candidates thought to themselves.

Yan Xiu's calm expression also changed. In actual fact, he was still expressionless when Xing Qingsui challenged Ping Yang.

However, he became extremely solemn after seeing Xing Qingsui advance instead of retreat.

Fang Zhengzhi's eyes also flashed with a curious glow. He knew how powerful the Blazing Qilin Spear was. He could not understand why Xing Qingsui wanted to meet it head on.

That being said, he knew that Xing Qingsui would not walk into his death.

Then, was he trying to find survival in the most dire of situations?

Xing Qingsui would obviously not stop to explain himself. He was incredibly quick, even faster than the Blazing Qilin Spear.

However, his Meteor black sword was dragging behind him, not raised to strike.

When facing a sea of fire, many people would have attempted to use water or unmeltable ice. However, Xing Qingsui had neither of these things.

Even so...

He managed to break through the sea of fire.

A subtle aura around him seemed to slice open the sea of fire. It was as if his sword parted the waves, allowing him safe pa.s.sage through.

Fang Zhengzhi had once heard a famous quote.

Can you part the sea with your sword?

He did not know if anyone could do it at that time. But now, Xing Qingsui had done it. Furthermore, his blade was still dragging behind him.

”It's battle spirit! Sword like battle spirit!”

”It's no wonder he is the heir of the Stabilisation Constabulary. He has already realized the battle spirit of the Dao of all Creation at such a young age! He has also been hiding this ability in previous duels.”

”I guess no one pushed him to use it before?”

All of the students who saw this scene stared wide eyed as they gasped.

”Battle Spirit?” Fang Zhengzhi seemed to understand.

This was almost like the Asura that Yan Xiu had showed previously. This Battle Spirit probably had the same effect, despite going by a different name.

However, Asura used killing to increase the prowess of the technique.

On the other hand, this Battle Spirit seemed to come from inside, allowing the user to charge forward courageously.

This spirit originated from one's courage and grew stronger from the blood and fire of the battlefield. Xing Qingsui had made this battle spirit his field of control. Since it was as sharp as a blade, it could easily split open the sea of fire.

He was like a talented general wrecking havoc amidst mere soldiers.

Xing Qingsui and Ping Yang advanced towards each other.

They closed in quickly.

They were so close that the Blazing Qilin Spear was almost within range of Xing Qingsui's forehead.
