Chapter 187: Chapter 136: First Battle of the Evolved Form (Part 2)
An interesting observation is that the special admission students initially didn’t feel much acceptance from Lin Chen, but once they entered, they were constantly troubled by the regular admission students.
In just a short half-month, nearly more than half of the special admission students have had their points taken by the regular admission students.
Currently, the win rate of special admission students against regular admission students is:
3-99.
If Lin Chen loses again, it would be a hundred.
Now, the formally admitted students openly call them "connections," which fuels a fire within them.
So, when Lin Chen arrived at the scene and heard many students shouting his name and cheering for him, he was bewildered.
Since when did his popularity get so high?
Previously, when climbing the ladder, weren’t these people eager for his "demise"?
Soon, Sun Hao also appeared.
He deliberately styled his hair, looking like a refined gentleman, approached with the demeanor of a master, and said, "I am Sun Hao, having heard of your 37th rank on the ladder, I deeply admire you, hence this challenge..."
The regular students beside him nodded one after another.
That aura, that presence, was immediately clear.
Lin Chen rolled his eyes...
If you want to be the leader, just say so, why so much nonsense.
Utterly pretentious!
Then both sides called forth their spirit beasts, and Lin Chen glanced over, suddenly quite surprised.
[Mirror Heart Beast]
[Advanced Spirit Transformation]
This kind of spirit beast is also one of the special ones, innately passive:
It can resist the majority of spiritual power attacks.
...
Though passive traits are extremely rare, they are not nonexistent.
The biggest feature of the Mirror Heart Beast is not just this; it is inherently immune to spiritual power and possesses formidable offensive capabilities.
This is the real reason for its fame.
Its appearance resembles a giant silver-white wolf, its body covered with prism-like crystals, with eyes like perfectly cut diamonds.
[Skill 1: Prism Assault, the Mirror Heart Beast transforms into a refracted shadow to rush behind the target, tearing enemies along the path with its claws]
[Skill 2: Light Split Echo, the Mirror Heart Beast roars and releases stored energy, bursting out with ring-shaped light blades in all directions, causing energy slicing damage to nearby enemies]
[Skill 3: High-Energy Prism, the Mirror Heart Beast gathers energy to form a massive prism overhead, firing a focused energy beam that burns a locked area for three seconds]
In contrast, Xiaobai’s Plowhorn Beast standing there looks less imposing.
Even some disciples from powerful clans, unfamiliar with the Plowhorn Beast, asked what kind of ox this was.
Seeing its diminished aura, Xiaobai immediately transformed.
Evolution...
Kui Spirit Beast.
However, the moment it transformed, someone below immediately shouted, "Is this the Spirit Ruins Ox? It’s my first time seeing it."
"..."
....
"Both sides, prepare."
The referee was a senior on duty, equivalent to a part-time job at the school, as the Spirit Academy can’t possibly have so many instructors.
He glanced at Xiaobai, then at the Mirror Heart Beast, and shook his head...
This Mirror Heart Beast is clearly bullying the ox, isn’t it?
The passive trait thoroughly counteracts the Spirit Ruins Ox, and its signature skill, Soul-Calming Hoof, is definitely useless.
Its level is even one level higher than Xiaobai.
Because the current Mirror Heart Beast has already reached level 23.
"Begin!"
With the senior’s command, the Mirror Heart Beast made the first move, leaping forward swiftly with Prism Assault.
Xiaobai commenced with One Qi into Four Oxen, easily dodging, yet unexpectedly the Mirror Heart Beast was also a combat veteran; as Xiaobai dashed away, it immediately used Light Split Echo.
Suddenly, several ring-shaped light blades exploded around, obstructing Xiaobai’s path.
Seeing Xiaobai’s speed slow down, Sun Hao was overjoyed, ready to end the match, shouting, "Mirror Heart Beast, use your ultimate move to end the match!"
The Mirror Heart Beast just wanted to roar and use its High-Energy Prism when Xiaobai, seeing the prism, believed the opponent was about to use a spiritual power skill, panicked instantly...
Previously tormented by spiritual power on the Path to Immortality, Xiaobai turned "Red Warm."
Moreover, Lin Chen reminded it before the match that the opponent was immune to spiritual power, not to use Soul-Calming Hoof.
Xiaobai thought the opponent was a master of spiritual power; it immediately activated its Barbaric Bloodline.
"Moo~~"
Xiaobai roared, its entire body instantly turning red.
"?"
Someone below realized something.
Wait a minute.
Those red pupils....
Could it be....
"Mad Bull Bloodline?!"
Someone exclaimed.
At this moment, as Sun Hao and the Mirror Heart Beast reacted, they saw Xiaobai spewing two streams of thick air from its nostrils, its four limbs suddenly kicking off the ground, beginning to run rapidly.
It charged forward like a cannonball, accelerating to the extreme, creating a strong air current around it, producing a "whoosh" sound. During its sprint, several residual shadows continuously separated from its body.
Lin Chen was incredibly expectant; Xiaobai was eagerly demonstrating Thousand Shadows Unification.
As the sprint continued, with the emergence of thirteen residual shadows, they gradually intertwined and eventually merged into one.
At this moment, its power also reached its peak!
"What is this skill?"
"Wait a minute, how can the Spirit Ruins Ox have a Barbaric Bloodline?"
However, when Xiaobai produced thirteen shadows and each shadow reconverged, the audience genuinely couldn’t understand.
This did not surprise them; after all, being able to enter the Spirit Academy, cultivating basic skills to the Divine Enlightenment Realm is not unheard of.
They were full of questions, yet now Xiaobai finally completed Thousand Shadows Unification, almost instantly staring at the glowing horns in front of the Mirror Heart Beast.
