People started to realize that if the situation continued, Li Shiming might be in mortal danger. All would be lost for House Li if Li Shiming were killed on the stage there and then.

Lee Xin knew that this overbearing attack was necessary to defeat Li Shiming. He had been attacking for a while, and therefore, he had consumed much more physical strength and soul energy than his opponent. The hope of defeating Li Shiming would hinge on this one final strike. Therefore, he would have to make sure that this one counted. His opponent's safety was already out of the equation, since Lee Xin had always treated the tournament as a real battlefield.

The lightning ball was huge. It swooped down like a fallen star, aiming directly at Li Shiming's head.

However, Li Shiming smiled faintly and disappeared into thin air right before the lightning ball hit him. One of the abilities of the Tactics of Vayu was the extremely fast speed, and therefore, Li Shiming simply dashed out of harm's way. However, Li Shiming was still under the Seal of Thunder, and therefore, the lightning ball was able to detect his movement and trail behind him closely. As the lightning ball was about to hit Li Shiming, Li Shiming charged up his soul energy and swept Vayu in the air, causing a gale that immediately surrounded the lightning ball and slowed it down. Meanwhile, Li Shiming executed an almost impossible maneuver and shifted his body out of the way as the lightning ball whizzed past him.

Lee Xin was caught off guard by the backfire and instinctively raised the Thunder Blade to block the incoming lightning ball.

”Kaboom!”

The entire arena trembled after the impact.

Lee Xin was hit by his own coup de grace. When the dust finally settled, the match was also over.

Although Li Shiming didn't dominate the fight, he had won the match using to his calmness and experience.

Cheers from the Earthling audiences erupted like an explosion. This was a suspenseful match, and the Earthlings had been holding back their cheers and applause for too long.

Li Shiming shook his head, seemingly disappointed at the real power of the Tactics of the Thunder Blade.

”He handled it very well. What an experienced and deadly fighter!” Michaux exclaimed. This fight would not be nearly as memorable if Li Shiming hadn't held back his power. Li Shiming had proven his might as well as wits by overcoming a level six fighter using only level five soul energy. It was obvious then that Li Shiming had been very confident about his ability from the beginning, and he had just shown that his confidence was founded on solid performance.

Although he was disappointed by his opponent, Li Shiming bowed to his audiences polity before he was about to walk off the stage.

”Li Shiming, where are you going? We have just started.”

”Kom!”

Lee Xin appeared in front of Li Shiming, blocking his way. The lightning had burned off his clothes, revealing a lightning-shaped-tattoo on his chest.

Li Shiming paused in his track, surprise written all over his face. ”I knew you were better than this!”

”Hehe. My father had invented this new cultivation method by absorbing the nature's energy, and thanks to that breakthrough, he was able to become the only Einherjar who was not from the five houses. However, people usual mistakenly think that that is all he is good at. ”

Even as the heir of the Thunder Blade spoke to Li Shiming, his body started to shimmer with a green luster. As soon as he finished the last word, Lee Xin disappeared into thin air.

Li Shiming's instinct told him that an attack was coming, so he raised Vayu to block. The attack was powerful, and Li Shiming was forced to take a few steps back.

Li Shiming sensed that Li Xin didn't only utilize the soul energy in his last attack, but also the energy from the lightning ball. He suddenly realized that Lee Xin had practically turned himself into to a vehicle like the Thunder Blade to contain the absorbed energy.

”Li Shiming, if you want to fight Patroclus, you better pass me first.” Lee Xin reappeared in front of Li Shiming and announced.

Li Shiming cracked a smile as he posed Vayu about his waist. As he charged up his soul energy, a gale swept across the stage like a hurricane. Suddenly, the wild wind turned into a thousand tiny blades, hurling towards Lee Xin. Finally, Li Shiming had reached level six!
