With a slight sweep, the Cloud Smashing Spear pierced through the air as Soul Power poured into it.
Hum hum hum hum …
The tip of the spear vibrated, causing Grai's body to sway slightly. Attack!
Moving as fast as lightning, as quick as lightning!
Facing Grai, a surge of Soul Power erupted from Mo Ling's body. His reserved aura started to brew within his body, accumulating within the calm depths of Mount Tai before erupting out.
Without any warning, the first Spiritual Body appeared behind him, followed closely by the 2nd, 3rd and 4th!
Bear! Leopard! Eagle! Tortoise!
The appearance of his Spiritual Body only lasted for an instant before it surged out in a berserk fashion.
Roar …
An aura akin to that of a prehistoric beast radiated out from Mo Ling's body. His Soul Power instantly multiplied, causing his body to grow a notch bigger.
4 Beasts Fusion Body!
This was the ultimate move he had used against Divian! He had actually used it right at the start of the duel, causing many people to be dumbfounded. The fight between Mo Ling and Divian was still fresh in many people's minds. The might of his 4 Beasts Fusion Body was clear for all to see. Even Divian, with her dragon bloodline, wasn't able to contend against it. Was he trying to end the duel as quickly as possible? Or was he placing more importance on Grai than Divian?
Bang!
Seemingly without the slightest pause, Mo Ling had already sent a kick towards the 9 rings monk staff embedded in the ground at the same instant his body started to transform.
Bang!
Akin to a cannonball, the 9 rings monk staff shot out in a berserk fashion. At the same instant Grai's spear arrived, a massive force was unleashed. Bang!
The spear and monk staff collided, causing an intense collision sound to ring out.
The momentum of the spear was instantly disintegrated, the terrifying force causing Grai to retreat 7 to 8 steps back. At the same time, the 9 rings monk staff was sent flying back, landing in Mo Ling's hands.
Pa!
With a twist of his wrist, the recoil from the monk staff was instantly dissipated. Following which, the 9 rings hanging at the tip of the monk staff started to vibrate crazily, emitting sounds of impact.
Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding!
Although the sounds weren't loud, they were extremely rhythmic. In fact, one could even faintly feel that there was a rhythm hidden within the sounds of the 9 rings. It was a rhythm that could confuse one's mind. Quite a few people in the audience had even subconsciously started to tap or stomp along with the rhythmic sounds of the monk staff.
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom …
Four Beasts Psychic Body, Sanskrit Demonic Chant! The audience subconsciously clapped along with the beat, which further amplified the power of this rhythm!
There wasn't any change in Grai's expression. This level of interference might be effective against opponents with weaker willpower. However, it was just noise to him.
However, he could still sense the danger on his face.
The moment he grasped the nine-ringed monk staff, his aura was already formed. The aura of a primordial beast was almost uncontrollable as it rushed out of his body. This was the climax of his eruption.
A ferocious light burst forth from Mo Ling's eyes.
Boom!
A frightening aura rippled out. With a stomp, Mo Ling shot forward, appearing right before the retreating Grai in the next second.
The Nine-Ringed Monk Staff was raised high and smashed down like a staff. The wind pressure created by the staff was so strong that it could almost be seen with the naked eye, making people feel as if Mount Tai was pressing down on them.
Still retreating, Grai forcefully twisted his body. Pushing off from the ground with the tip of his foot, he spun his body slightly. In an instant, more than half of the retreating force was transferred to his hands. At the same time, his Soul Power erupted forth, and he used his Cloud Smashing Spear to block the incoming attack.
Hum ~
The staff and spear collided once again, causing a force field to erupt from the point of collision.
A frightening power radiated out from the staff, causing the high-quality Cloud Smashing Spear to bend ninety degrees in the instant of contact!
In a mere half a second, the power of the Nine-Ringed Monk Staff had already seemingly suppressed Grai.
Bang ~
What power!
The force field exploded apart, causing Grai to be sent flying back by the massive rebounding force.
However, Mo Ling was like a shadow chasing after him, his speed even faster than the speed at which Grai was sent flying!
The second staff!
Roar!
The boundless Mount Tai appeared to have transformed into an ancient dragon king, or a Taotie that wanted to devour everything in its path.
Faster! Stronger!
Even the air seemed to have been jolted away by the staff. At the instant the staff descended, the 2-3 metre radius around Grai was instantly compressed into a vacuum zone.
Bang ~
Absolute power was something that couldn't be easily blocked.
Grai was sent flying once again, before a third staff strike followed!
Another chase! Mo Ling's eyes had already turned scarlet red.
Entering an all-out offensive state, Mo Ling's eruption was too strong. Regardless of strength or speed, his 4 Beasts Fusion Body clearly held the absolute advantage.
A showdown between experts could drag on for a long time, or it could be decided in a matter of seconds.
If he was completely suppressed by Grai's explosive attack, it was very likely that he would be beaten to death in a single move!
However, not a single shred of fear could be seen in Grai's eyes. On the contrary, his emotions seemed to have been stirred up, as his eyes brimmed with anticipation.
Although his eruption wasn't as fast as Mo Ling's 4 Beasts Fusion Body, a sliver of aura had already started to gather and accumulate within his body the moment he received Mo Ling's first strike!
The Cloud Smashing Spear rose once again. This time, it wasn't a head-on collision. Instead, it drew an arc of afterimages in the air, appearing as though there were thousands of spear afterimages in the air.
Hundred-fold Spear!
Grai had already grasped the essence of this technique. Compared to the Hundred-fold Palms, this combat technique was clearly much more tyrannical when used on a weapon, especially an overbearing weapon like a spear.
Bang ~ ~
A muffled third bang rang out, shaking the heavens and earth. It was so loud that many people in the audience couldn't help but cover their ears.
Spear tip against spear tip.
Countless bolts of lightning coiled around the point of collision like dragons and snakes. Unexpectedly, they were evenly matched in terms of strength.
A massive rebounding force radiated out, causing the 2 to retreat and withdraw their attacks.
However, with the same speed and the same rebounding force, Grai's spear tip flicked slightly in the air. The heavy rebounding force was used by him, changing the inertia of the rebounding force. The spear afterimages drew a long afterimage in the air once again. In an instant, the spear tip had already turned around, piercing through Mo Ling's armpit.
Tortoise!
Mo Ling wanted to change his attack, but it was already too late. Turning around, a green tortoiseshell had already condensed on his back.
Bang!
The Cloud Smashing Spear smashed fiercely against the tortoiseshell, causing it to shake violently, while a halo of light rippled out.
However, in the next instant, Mo Ling borrowed the momentum from his back to slam his feet heavily into the ground.
2 large craters were smashed into the ground by the heavy force. With his 4 Beasts Fusion Body, he was able to completely ignore the rebounding force from the ground. With a slight bend of his knees, his entire body shot forward the instant he landed on the ground, unleashing a sneak attack with the 9 rings monk staff.
The Cloud Smashing Spear collided with the 9 rings monk staff once again, as fighting intent blossomed from the eyes of the 2.
Kill!
In the next instant, spears crisscrossed the stage, while staff afterimages filled the air. Sounds of weapons clashing rang out from time to time, while visible sound waves and air waves continued to radiate out from the 2.
Mo Ling's strength was stronger, and his speed was faster. Without talking about the special characteristics of his 4 Beasts Fusion Body, just the amplification of his body was comparable to many tyrannical bloodlines.
On the other hand, Grai's moves were more ingenious, and more skillful. Fusing the 100 Compounding Strikes into his spear techniques, the 100 afterimages were more than enough to cover the disparity in strength between the 2. However, what was even more frightening was the astonishing foundation of his spear techniques.
Other than the usage of the 100 Compounding Strikes, although he only used the most basic of spear techniques such as flicking, poking, stabbing and sweeping with his spear, he was able to transform something rotten into something miraculous, and return to one's natural state. Every seemingly simple spear strike would always land on Mo Ling's weakest points of defence, causing Mo Ling to be unable to display his advantage in speed. Furthermore, it was hard for him to organise his counterattacks, causing him to be forced into a passive state. Out of the 10 moves they exchanged, at least 7 of them were completely on the defensive.
Divian, who was watching from the viewing gallery, was unable to take her eyes off the fight, while her forehead was tightly knitted together. As a spear expert, she was able to see that Grai's spear techniques had reached the realm of lifting something heavy as though it was light. He was definitely a genuine grandmaster in spear techniques. In fact, she could feel that his spear techniques were even stronger than the daggers and runic swords he had used in the past. This wasn't the slightest bit exaggerated. Only Divian, who had crossed hands with Mo Ling, knew exactly how strong that fellow's foundations were. However, even after using his 4 Beasts Fusion Body, he was still suppressed by Grai's Cloud Smashing Spear. This fellow's spear techniques were too astonishing.
Bang!
However, in the next instant.
As the spear and staff smashed into each other, another bang rang out, before the 2 figures separated in the air.
Pa pa! The 2 landed on the ground at the same time.
Bang ~ ~
Grai stomped his Cloud Smashing Spear fiercely onto the ground, before unleashing his full Soul Power. In the next instant, a formless wave of air furiously radiated out from Grai's body. Like a wave of air, the overflowing Soul Power rose from his body, causing his clothes to flutter about despite the absence of any wind. At this moment, his elegant black hair, which was originally tied up, was standing on end, fluttering and dancing about in the air, radiating an awe-inspiring aura!
Not only was his Soul Power leaking out, what was even more frightening was the sharp edge of a blade that had suddenly been unsheathed. At this moment, Grai's eyes were astonishingly sharp, while his gaze was brimming with surging fighting intent, causing everyone to feel as though they were in the middle of a battlefield where thousands and thousands of soldiers and horses were charging towards each other, with smoke and the sounds of weapons clashing everywhere!
Even Mo Ling felt a shiver run down his spine. The level of his opponent's Soul Power eruption was still considered to be at the peak of the Casted Soul Stage. However, the frightening fighting intent radiating from him was completely different from those weak and delicate students from the Federation. It was brimming with the decisiveness of life and death, causing people to shiver in fear. Mo Ling had seen such a gaze before, but all of them were gazes that only people who had lingered on the edge of life and death would possess. Even the people from the Mo Family and the northern regions did not possess such a gaze, despite the extremely cruel and cruel training they had gone through.
Without experiencing the baptism of cruel war, without experiencing the tempering of genuine life and death situations, it was impossible for one to possess such a fighting intent.
Exactly who was this person at such a young age?
There was no time for people to regain their senses on the battlefield.
At the instant his aura surged out, Grai gave a kick with the tip of his foot without the slightest bit of hesitation. Brimming with Soul Power, he sent the Cloud Smashing Spear shooting out.
Bang!
With a ferocious stomp, the ground beneath him exploded apart, while Grai's body shot forward. Reaching out to grab the end of the spear, his rushing body seemed to accelerate the momentum of the spear once again. In an instant, man and spear had fused into one, becoming inseparable from one another.
At this moment, it was as though he had been possessed by a god of war. It wasn't about his agility, speed, or superficial display of strength. Instead, it was about pressing forward with an invincible will, as though he wanted to pierce a hole through the heavens!
Grai wanted to win this duel. This was the first time he had felt such an intense desire. He wanted to win!
Life and Death Cycle — Prairie Fire Hundred Strikes!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Frightening sonic booms rang out, piercing through the air to the point of causing people to cover their ears. At this moment, Grai and the Cloud Smashing Spear appeared to have disappeared, leaving only the streaks of silvery light rumbling towards Mo Ling like a torrential storm.
Genuine streaks of light mixed with the murderous fighting intent that hid the skies and covered the earth, wanting to destroy everything in its path!
This was the Mo Family, and this was Mo Ling. If it was anyone else, they might have already been scared witless. However, Mo Ling wasn't frightened by the cruel aura and attacks unleashed by Grai. It wasn't that he had never seen such a fighting intent before. Although he was shocked, he didn't panic, and wasn't even surprised by it.
This was the finals, and the Mo Family had long predicted that Grai might have hidden his strength. Therefore, arranging Mo Ling to fight against him had already considered all possibilities. After all, Tianjing had never played their cards according to common sense. In the final analysis, the only person who had the possibility of having a trump card was Grai. That's because he didn't seem to have much desire for combat from the start to the finals. This was a stark contrast to the other squadron members. Although he didn't know the reason behind this, this meant that there was still a possibility for Grai to advance a step further.
Mo Ling admired a true soldier like Grai, as this was much more important than his face. However, the Mo Family's plans were flawless!
Faced against a true soldier like Grai, the best response wasn't to attack, but to defend. One had to remain calm and collected, and never underestimate their opponent. The strength of the Mo Family lay in the fact that they had seen what you had seen, and what you had not. Regardless of what happened, they would never be surprised.
Hum hum hum hum hum …
The golden rings on the 9 rings monk's staff rang out, causing a unique rhythm and ringing sound to slightly cancel out the impact from Grai's combat qi. Although he might not be able to do so, Mo Ling's willpower was as firm as a boulder, and wasn't affected in the slightest.
Golden light sparkled in an instant, as his 4 Beasts Fusion Body switched to a completely defensive stance.
Bang bang bang bang …
The Cloud Smashing Spear was one with his spear, appearing as though it was made by nature. The speed of Grai's spear was more than a notch faster than the basic spear techniques he had used in the past. His successive attacks were even more concentrated and condensed into a straight line. The greatest difference was his determination and willpower. Although Grai was fast and graceful in the past, he lacked the desire to win. However, this time, everyone could see Grai's heart. He wanted to win this duel!
Deafening roars rang out from the supporters in the stadium. This duel had too much at stake. Not only did it concern Grai, it also concerned everything about Tianjing. If they didn't become the champions, they would be nothing. The Tianjing students clenched their fists tightly as they stared at Grai with wide eyes. All of them were proud to be a member of Tianjing!
Do your best, Grai!
Grai appeared to be able to feel the support of the countless willpower pouring out from the crowd. His spear techniques continued to rain down, while the 9 rings monk staff did its utmost to block the incoming attacks from the Cloud Smashing Spear. The difficulty of his defence grew higher and higher. Grai had completely entered the zone. His speed, strength, and angle of attack showed that he was an absolute expert in using the spear. The minute changes at the tip of his spear, as well as the internal vibrations from the stacking force, caused his defence to become exceedingly difficult. Even Mo Ling, who was a specialist in defence, was gradually finding it difficult to defend. However, the tyrannical strength of his 4 Beasts Fusion Body allowed him to take the initiative to endure all of this.
The dark green tortoiseshell continued to cover up the gaps in Mo Ling's defence. He didn't pay particular attention to brute force or forceful resistance. Instead, he had a reasonable distribution of attacks and the amount of damage his body had to endure. He was so calm that it caused people's hair to stand on end. This caused his defence to appear as stable as Mount Tai. If any movement would cause too many gaps in his defence, Mo Ling would use his fleshly body to block them. He was able to accurately calculate the effects of his injuries.
A genuine heavy soldier possessed both fleshly body and willpower, as well as a brain!
