Chapter 463: Soulsplitting Technique (1/2)

Michelle and the rest were also present and watching, and Lulu in particular was very excited.

Big Pao’s face was positively radiant since this battle was wholly unrelated to him.

During the Sea King’s son-in-law selection that had taken place a few days before, he had urged Lulu to splurge and poach Ling Que’s cheerleaders. In the end, the girls had cheered for Mu Rong. After the selection, the entire matter should have ended.

Ling Que, however, seemed to have some screws loose in his head, and he was determined to retrieve his cheerleaders. According to him, when no one cheered for him, he was unable to get into the right mental state.

The problem was that the cheerleaders had become captivated by Mu Rong. Although they had been bought over by the allure of Ling Que’s money, they had coincidentally walked past Mu Rong and involuntary screams had sounded from the group that had startled both Mu Rong and Ling Que. What had added oil to the fire were the rumors that Ling Que could not compare to Mu Rong, so the current battle had been arranged in fury.

In the distance, the cheerleaders were caught in a dilemma. They liked both Ling Que and Mu Rong, so they were at a loss for who they should cheer on.

“I’m not interested in battling you,” Mu Rong calmly replied. It almost felt like he did not take any matter seriously.

Ling Que snorted before replying, “So what? Are you trying to have your cake and eat it too? Don’t even bother thinking about it! During the selection, you secretly stole away my cheering squad, and I still haven’t settled that matter with you. If you hadn’t snatched them away, my mood wouldn’t have been as poor, and my mind wouldn’t have been in such a miserable state. I definitely wouldn’t have been ambushed by Cheng Wu otherwise. Everything’s because of you!”

Mu Rong frowned. “That’s ridiculous.”

Ling Que was furious as well. “You’re still pretending! Today, my state is great, so I’ll show you the results of your pretending!”

Then, Ling Que lifted his hand and raised it a few times.

“Ling Que, Ling Que, I love you! Ling Que, Ling Que, you’re the best!”

“Ling Que, Ling Que, I love you! Ling Que, Ling Que, you’re the best!”

…

The cheerleaders maintained their professional conduct; they had accepted Ling Que’s money, so they would only cheer for him.

The surrounding people were shocked and hurriedly moved away from the group of lunatics.

Ling Que basked in the cheers as star energy erupted from his body and crushed the ground beneath him. Even the void shuddered as the surging energy was so strong that it pushed the air away, eventually blowing past the clouds in the sky.

Northgate Lie, Che Han, the still undeparted Cheng Wu, Qin Chen, and the rest all came to watch. Even Lan Yu and Zhang Dingtian were present.

This was Ling Que erupting with all of his strength, and he was demonstrating the full terror of an unequaled Limiteer. Many felt that Cheng Wu’s ambush on Ling Que during the selection had been unfortunate, as Ling Que hadn’t even been unable to even display the Lingling clan’s inherited battle technique—the Soulsplitting Technique. They had been waiting for this moment to finally arrive.

The battle prowess that Mu Rong had displayed in the selection was astounding, and even Cheng Wu had believed that it would be difficult for him to defeat Mu Rong. This peerless Limiteer still had hidden trump cards, and he was unfathomable to the extreme. Unfortunately, he had not clashed against Lu Yin, but many believed that Lu Yin was not Mu Rong’s opponent.

As a fellow user of Thirty Stacks who was even an Explorer, Lan Yu had been easily defeated by Mu Rong. Their battle seemed to prove that the Overlaying Stacks method was ineffective against Mu Rong, which insinuated that Lu Yin’s chances of victory were very low.

Amongst the four unparalleled Limiteers, Mu Rong was believed to be the strongest since he had been publicly recognized by the Ten Arbiters.

With a whoosh, Ling Que dashed through the void with extreme speed as his Que's Mighty Slash appeared in his hand. He sliced out, and his movements were accompanied by a deafening crash.

A sudden clap of thunder rang out, and the air shattered as the thunder transformed into a visible shockwave that swept out across the flat ground.

Mu Rong’s gaze was stern, as he could not be careless against Ling Que. The thunder and the shockwave swept forward together as one while Que’s Mighty Slash closed in on Mu Rong. The wooden flute spun around in his hand as he stepped to the side, easily dodging the Que's Mighty Slash. Then, he simply sidestepped once again to dodge the explosion of the thunder and the shockwave.

The Lingling clan members were able to absorb others’ innate gifts and form their own everlasting innate gift. Ling Que’s Que's Mighty Slash possessed the strength of both thunder and sound, and it was rather terrifying.

Ling Que sneered when he saw that not a single one of his strikes had landed. “Mu Rong, don’t assume that your Floating Stride that allows you to avoid and dissolve your opponent’s attacks, almost like a lockbreaking technique, is a secret or something. Additionally, even your Floating Stride has its limits!”

Ling Que’s eyes flickered, and his entire body froze for a split second. The next moment, everyone stared at the battlefield as their faces turned to expressions of disbelief.

Ling Que had split in two.

This was the Soulsplitting Technique, the Lingling clan’s ancient inherited battle technique. No one knew whether the clan had existed for 100,000 years or a million years aside from the clan itself. During this time, numerous civilizations had risen and fallen in the universe, and multiple generations had passed. It was impossible to know if this clan had existed since ancient times, or if it had been established upon the ruins of a past great civilization.

However, the Soulsplitting Technique had always been the Lingling clan’s most terrifying battle technique, and it intimidated outsiders the greatest. No one else could learn it aside from the Lingling clan’s own members.

This Soulsplitting Technique literally split the body into two, which meant that one could split themselves into two doppelgangers that each had the strength of the original body.

This was the reason why Ling Que had been declared as an unequaled Limiteer.

Two Que's Mighty Slashes appeared and then vanished simultaneously, as regardless of how solid the void was here, it could not stop the Que's Mighty Slash from shuttling through it. This was just one of it’s terrifying aspects.

During the selection, if Cheng Wu hadn’t taken the initiative to ambush Ling Que, heavily injuring him before he could retaliate in the process, then Ling Que may not have been so easily defeated.
