The dark shadow moved behind Guo Min and slashed its dagger on his back. But, just when Guo Min smashed with his forearm, it hits nothing. The shadow had already moved away.
'Shadow movements. He is expanding the shadow like that girl but on a higher scale. And, he has also got a good grasp over the dark qi. Alright, since you are going to show your power, then don't blame me!"
Guo Min dispersed his golden qi and the white flames erupt out of his palm. The moment his white flame appeared, Qin, Guan Xing, Zhao Tan, Lan Ming, and even the cold girl stared at him with intense fighting intent.
Even Qin and Guan Xing couldn't control their fighting intent. Because this move was something that could even damage them. At least, this made them feel the danger that's why their fighting intent burst out.
"Sorry for doing this! But I have decided to reach the top ten." Guo Min muttered and spread his arm. Seeing this, Tian Su instantly rushed towards him for the attack.
"No, Tian Su, come back!" Suddenly, Lan Ming stood up and shouted.
But before he could answer, Guo Min clapped his hand.
Pat!
The next moment, his white flame spread out in a circular disk but with less power. It struck Tian Su and the next second, Tian Su screamed "Ahhhhhhhhh!"
His scream resounded throughout the arena, startling and creeping out everyone. Even the elders were surprised. First, they were surprised by Guo Min's soul attack. Although they knew he had Golden Dragon Battle Scripture, they didn't think Guo Min would learn soul art in just a day.
Second, they were surprised by the pain Tian Su was suffering. They didn't understand this since Guo Min deliberately decreased the power of his attack. But, the head elder floated towards the ground without delay.
Each one of the top forty was a genius. They didn't want their geniuses to have a great accident. But before he could arrive, Lan Ming had already arrived next to Tian Su.
"Brother Lan... it hurts!!!!! It hurts... so bad" Tian Su cried with pain and agony even though the white flames had already disappeared.
"Don't worry, I'm here. I will fix the pain." Lan Ming burst out his qi and pressed Tian Su's chest. Slowly, Tian Su fell unconscious. Lan Ming picked him on his arms and turned his head at the head elder.
"Head Elder, Tian Su will abstain from this battle. As for me, I will come back, and if I don't then just treat it as my refusal."
Before the head elder could say anything, Lan Ming dashed away. The head elder still had his mouth opened. In the end, he could only sigh "He only has a single battle left to enter the top ten."
Lan Ming dashed towards his house with an intense speed.
'Damn! I should've prepared some soul-defending talisman for him. Celestials are known for their undead bodies. No matter how many times you kill their physical body, they will have a rebirth even from the drop single blood."
"But, this makes their soul extremely vulnerable. After this competition, I will build dozens of sol defending talismans for him. Only then, he can protect himself.'
Lan Ming thought to himself as he reached his home. Opening his door, he took Tian Su to the bed and placed him there. After placing him, Lan Min kept channeling his qi in order to heal his soul.
While he kept doing that, a new battle started in the ground.
Zhao Tan versus Guan Xing!
Surprisingly, it was Zhao Tan who challenged Guan Xing. But, it does make sense. After all, Guan Xing blocked Zhao Tan before. Both of them walked up to the ground and stared at each other with intense fighting intent.
Zhao Tan didn't hesitate to hold his spear. It was nearly two meters long and had a sharp red tip. His shaft was black with golden stripes on it. There was a figure of a dragon on it.
Guan Xing also took out his pen. He didn't want to hold back either especially when he is facing a strong opponent like Zhao Tan. Both of them stared at each other for a moment.
Whoosh!
But, the next second, Zhao Tan dashed towards Guan Xing with an intense speed. Guan Xing raised his pen and wrote a sword on the air. In an instant, a barrier appeared in front of him.
Zhao Tan pulled his spear up and thrusts it forward with all of his force. The tip of the spear struck the barrier with an intense force and broke it apart. When the barrier crumbled, Zhao Tan lost his momentum and landed on the ground.
While he could go forward, Guan Xing had already moved his hand. Guan Xing writes things and turns them into reality. That's the power of his pen.
"Fire Lotus Exploding Heaven!"
Suddenly, Guan Xing wrote the words while infusing his qi in it. The next moment, a red lotus appeared in the sky. It was nearly two meters big and slowly fell towards Zhao Tan. Seeing this lotus, Zhao Tan's eyes shrunk.
He hurriedly spun his spear and created a hurricane with it. He pushed the hurricane towards the fire lotus which pulled it inside.
Boom!
As soon as the lotus reached inside, it exploded with glorious power. But, all of it was confined inside the hurricane. Zhao Tan placed his foot on the ground tightly and spun himself, then threw the entire hurricane towards the sky.
"Go, all out!" Zhao Tan raised his spear and spoke three words. After that, he shuts his mouth and burst out an immense amount of qi.
At this exact moment, Lan Ming appeared in the arena and stared at Zhao Tan with a solemn expression. But, nobody had their eyes on him. Lan Ming was completely ignored. He walked up to Guo Min and bowed down "Thank you for holding back!"
"Sorry about that! I didn't know he was vulnerable to the souls." Guo Ming shook his head and apologize. Even without using soul attacks, he still had the way to win. But, he just wanted to finish the battle fast.
Lan Ming nodded his head and turned his head at Qin. But, when he saw Qin's eyes, he was slightly shocked. He didn't expect Qin to be completely focused on Zhao Tan and Guan Xing's battle. He turned his head at the battle but he had already made a decision in his heart.
In the ground, the enormous qi burst out of Zhao Tan was like a ferocious beast. It was wildly spread around him, and infused with his spear.
"Damn! Is he already stronger than Essence Transformation Realm cultivator?" The head slapped his seat and muttered.
"I think his battle strength has indeed surpassed Qi Condensation Realm. But as for surpassing Essence Transformation Realm, I am not sure." The elder next to him spoke with a deep stare on the battle.
"But, I wonder what he meant by going all-out. Is Guan Xing hiding something?" The head elder frowned and asked.
"Of course, he is hiding something otherwise Zhao Tan wouldn't have challenged him. We have only seen Zhao Tan involved in two different kinds of battle. One where someone else challenges him. And another is when he finds a genius of his caliber."
"That's what he has been doing for an entire year." Su Ling suddenly spoke making other elders nod their heads. But, they didn't talk too much and stared at Guan Xing.
"I guess I can't hold back even a little." Since Guan Xing can't reveal his cultivation, he can only use his last trick. Guan Xing and Qin have the same problem. Although for them, the cultivation doesn't matter too much especially with their battle strength.
But, cultivation does mean a lot of it, especially in life or death battles. Using elemental essence instead of transforming qi into element makes attacks faster and also makes a stronger attack. Unfortunately, Guan Xing can't use his Essence Transformation Realm cultivation.
"Wind Spirit"
Guan Xing released his wind spirit from the pen. The young girl came out of the pen and spread her arms, yawning. Seeing her, countless people widen their eyes. Even Zhao Tan was shocked.
Spirit! Everyone knew about spirit but no one can catch the spirit much less store them in a pen. They couldn't help but stare at Guan Xing with slight greed in their eyes. But, the next second, their dreams were crushed.
"Master, you finally called me." Xiao Feng saw Guan Xing and instantly embraced him while floating around him. Guan Xing patted her head and said "We can talk later. For now, let's test that out."
"Are we really going to do it?" Xiao Feng excitedly stared at Guan Xing and shouted.
Guan Xing nodded his head and Xiao Feng raised both of her hands and shouted like a child.
"Yahoo!"
Guan Xing took a deep breath and held Xiao Feng's hand, slowly closing his eyes. Slowly, Xiao Feng dissolved into the wind and entered his body. A green wind appeared behind him alongside a crown on his head. After a few seconds, a hurricane appeared behind him while he opened his eyes
