Chapter 606: Battle of the Captains

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio  Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Golden light glittered within the vast space as spiritual attacks exploded on the enormous golden battle stages.

And on those golden stages, with each flickering of the shadows, an attack of shocking impact occurred.

All eight teams were engaged in fierce fighting.

Only by exerting all of one’s strength could it be possible to stand out among those eight strong teams.

Of all the matches between the eight teams, the most eye-catching were the matches between the captains because everyone knew that for battles under the seven-point system, if the captain lost the battle, the chances for victory would be slim.

The captain’s success or failure could be said to be a team’s most critical point.

Thus, it was no wonder that everyone’s burning attention was on the four central golden battle stages. Even the Chiefs of the Spiritual Academies all nodded while watching in the sky.

As for the battles on the four stages, spiritual force also kept violently clashing. Besides Mu Chen and Liu Qingyun’s duel, the battles between Ji Xuan and Wen Busheng, and Wu Ling and Xue Tianhe were also extremely attention-grabbing.

Regarding Wen Qingxuan’s confrontation with Fang Yun, it was easiest to tell who would win. After all, Fang Yun was probably the weakest of the eight captains. Though he was in possession of an Inferior Divine Artifact, which increased his power tremendously, unfortunately for him, he was facing Wen Qingxuan, who had power comparable to Luo Li’s.

Therefore, in the confrontation between the two, even though Fang Yun had the Dragon-Tiger Cauldron, his power was still suppressed by Wen Qingxuan. Her figure looked like that of a female god of war with her golden spear by her side. Her terrible attacks were like tides sweeping over the Dragon-Tiger Cauldron, constantly forcing it to retreat.

Sooner or later, Wen Qingxuan would find a flaw in Fang Yun’s attacks and then defeat him.

Compared with the situation where Wen Qingxuan soon had gained an upper hand, the other two battle stages appeared to be at somewhat of a stalemate, especially the battle stage where Wu Ling and Xue Tianhe were fighting.

Both held nothing back and lashed out at each other without reservation. The kind of spiritual power fluctuations they used showed that they had apparently passed through the Three Grades of the Spirit Disaster and were only one step away from the true Sovereign-level.

Whenever Xue Tianhe gestured, blood red spiritual force swept out like a blood river and oozed towards Wu Ling.

As for Wu Ling, he held a black stick in his hand, and his body exuded a faint black light. His face originally had delicate features, but now it looked if it were cast in steel. He had obviously trained his body to become extremely sturdy.

Therefore, when he was faced with the gushing river of blood, he just needed a slight sweep with his stick to form a distorted space, and the terrible force that came with it smashed the river of blood into drops of blood all over the sky.

The fight between the two was so furious, they madly attacked each other without the slightest thought of defense. Such a thrilling battle evoked waves of shocked sighs from the audience.

But overall, their battle was deadlocked.

The last eye-catching battle was the one between Ji Xuan and Wen Busheng.

In this battle, the opponents’ fame was unequal. Almost everyone from all the different Spiritual Academies had heard of Ji Xuan, but Wen Busheng was the total opposite. Even his Spiritual Academy, with a majestic name like Invincible Spiritual Academy, had never been heard of by most.

Therefore, when the audience thought Wen Busheng would soon lose to Ji Xuan, reality stunned them. Wen Busheng had actually managed to handle all of Ji Xuan’s attacks.

Moreover, he completely relied on his empty hands to defend against Ji Xuan’s fierce spear.

This scene left many people amazed. They had finally understood why this team from the Invincible Spiritual Academy was in the top eight.

This seemingly ordinary young man was nothing ordinary. He proved that even the smallest Spiritual Academies could eventually birth a genius.

However, although Wen was successful taking all of Ji Xuan’s attacks, only the Chiefs of the Spiritual Academies in the sky could tell that Wen Busheng’s attacks were being gradually suppressed by Ji Xuan.

Whish!

On the battle stage, a spear pierced through the air and on its tip rose violent spiritual power burning like a hot sun, threatening to smash through the void.

The spear went straight for Wen Busheng.

Faced with Ji Xuan’s fierce attacks, Wen Busheng looked much more solemn now. His right palm emitted a white light glowing like jade. Pushing his palm out, he made his attack.

Clink!

The sound of metal clinking could be heard when the spear met with the hand, and a huge shockwave, which was visible to the naked eye, made its way outwards, shattering the ground beneath them.

Ji Xuan’s body shuddered, whereas Wen Busheng took a few steps backwards, each step leaving a deep imprint on the ground.

Whoosh!

Ji Xuan pointed his spear at Wen Busheng. He looked at him and said lightly, “If you are only so capable, then you will end here.”

As he finished his sentence, Ji Xuan’s gaze suddenly became fierce. With his spear against the ground, Ji Xuan put his palms together. Dazzling holy light poured out of him and formed a huge holy sun behind him.

The spiritual force emanated from him like a volcano and was so astonishing, it had almost reached the pinnacle of the Three Grades of the Spirit Disaster.
