Chapter 65：Standing Out (1/2)

Five minutes into the competition, apart from me, there were two Natal Spirits left. Though they're both strong they couldn't bridge the gap between a Natal Spirit and a Fused Spirit.

Since they stuck out, they were chased and eliminated in a matter of minutes. Due to that, it leaves me alone in the stage where there are only Fused Spirits.

Being a Fused Spirit, unlike a Natal Spirit who only had their Spiritual Twin connected to the Spirit Ocean, their main body will also be connected to it. And because of that, their main bodies will also get enhanced just like how it enhanced the Spiritual Twin's stats. Due to that, they all used their own enhanced bodies that were fused with their Spiritual Twin to do battle.

With a Stream as a connection to the Spirit Ocean, they could draw out supernatural powers from it which none of the Natal Spirits could do.

And even though they're fused with their Spiritual Twins, a phantom of it will still appear behind them. By doing so, apart from relying on their fused stats, they could also draw its previous powers when it was still separated from them using Spirit Energy.

There were probably a few occasions where a Natal Spirit could defeat a Fused Spirit. There's me, but I'm using a cheat by having 30% of the Heroes' base stats and other cultivation paths. But those Natal Spirits who could do that will probably become a Noble Spirit in the future.

Soon enough, being the only Natal Spirit left on stage, one Fused Spirit saw me as a target. Thinking it will be easy for him, he threw me a not-so-special kick with hardly any power with it. Willing my Spiritual Twin to move in front of me, I raised the Potential Drawing to its maximum.

Using Potential Drawing should be taxing to the main body since it uses Spirit Energy as a fuel. But yeah, when it concerns the use of energy, mine is always unlimited.

When his foot made contact with my Spiritual Twin, he shivered and a clanging sound rang out as if he hit metal.

With a muffled groan from him, he flew back for a few paces before he started rolling to the ground holding his leg.

The crowd was silenced upon seeing that scene and the other Fused Spirits who saw that spectacle either rushed towards me or backed away.

There's a female Fused Spirit who's one of the favorites to win who saw it and decided to eliminate me by lunging at me, on her hand was a blunt weapon reminiscent of a baseball bat.

Using that weapon which somehow became covered with flames, she hit my Spiritual Twin. Thinking it was effective, she did it three more times. However, just like the first time, it only clanged before she bounced back from it at her fourth hit with her arms trembling from the pain it caused her.

She then looked at me with dreadful eyes before turning back to put a distance between us.

”Who the heck is that Natal Spirit?! Even Namira was pushed back by his Spiritual Twin!”

I heard someone exclaim from the audience.

Ah. The peanut gallery started to focus on me. There's even someone who got wind of my name and they started shouting it.

”Ember! Kyaa!”

I wonder until when will those girls be able to keep their voices like that?

After Namira, the other Fused Spirits already arrived within my reach, I threw my previous sword to my Spiritual Twin which upon catching it, it immediately hacked towards someone diving from above.

There were not only those who targeted my Spiritual Twin, but there were also those who targeted me, the main body. It's common knowledge that the main body is weaker than the Spiritual Twin, they would only catch up to it once they fused.
