Mu Yong was definitely on Ding Wen's side. He had no intention of making things difficult for Ding Wen. His question came from the bottom of his heart and was involuntarily asked.
Look carefully at what?
He really didn't know, or perhaps he didn't have time to know. The duel was about to end, and Tie Rulin was already shouting his surrender.
Ding Wen hadn't expected such a development at all. Tie Rulin, whom he had high hopes for, had surrendered so quickly. Amidst his shock, his face quickly turned ashen.
"Trash!" Ding Wen muttered angrily. Tie Rulin's performance had completely subverted his judgment, and made his previous confident stance seem laughable. Mu Yong's question from the bottom of his heart was like a heavy hammer of mockery.
Ding Wen wanted to rush onto the field, and use a whip to whip him, or roast him with fire in the forest, to make Tie Rulin stand up and fight again. But he couldn't. He was the head of the twelve examiners. He was supposed to be the most impartial person in the Soul Point Gathering, and the least biased person. How could he make such an obvious move in front of everyone?
He could only stare at Tie Rulin with a dark face, hoping that this kid could notice his stare, and see something in his eyes.
Tie Rulin noticed it.
When he had shouted his surrender, he had been frantically searching for the examiners' reactions. Only when the examiners made a decision could the duel truly end. In the midst of his frantic search, he quickly noticed Ding Wen's unwavering stare. The chief examiner's gaze was clearly telling him something … …
Tie Rulin understood.
Even though he felt that he couldn't continue, even though he had already shouted his surrender, the examiner was hinting to him to continue fighting!
This …
Tie Rulin hesitated slightly, and finally decided to follow the examiner's wishes. He felt that this would be beneficial to him.
He used his gaze to reply to Ding Wen, and Ding Wen also immediately gave the examiner in charge of this group a look.
The examiner understood, and didn't immediately stop the duel. The three used their gazes to complete a coordination. This coordination undoubtedly formed a deception. The opponent had already indicated that he wanted to give up. In that case, the examiner should be able to determine the winner without asking for the reason. But this time, the examiner didn't do anything, and Su Tang, who had heard the other party's shout of surrender, thought it was over and let his guard down.
He chose this moment to strike. This was undoubtedly a sneak attack.
Tie Rulin reached out and grabbed the giant axe that was standing at the side. The pain from his broken ribs almost made him faint, but he forced himself to endure it.
Fortunately …
Tie Rulin secretly rejoiced.
Fortunately, his fighting style wasn't like Su Tang's, where he only used brute force. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to win. He really couldn't launch such a powerful attack in this kind of situation.
The wind began to blow!
Just as Tie Rulin reached out to grab the giant axe, a sudden gust of wind blew. Tie Rulin, who looked like he was barely able to sit up, had already picked up his heavy giant axe. Before anyone could react, the giant axe had already flown towards Su Tang with a whirlwind.
Although he was at a loss, Mu Yong, who had been paying close attention to the changes in the field, was stunned.
His discernment ability allowed him to observe the flow and operation of his target's power of spirit. He hadn't been able to discern anything from Tie Rulin's previous performance, but he finally noticed something after Tie Rulin's all-out attack.
Was this the circulation of the spirit of strength?
No, it wasn't that simple.
This was the pull of the spirit of strength, driving the spirit of qi, and then the spirit of qi propelling the spirit of power. This cycle continued to increase the power of the spirit of strength.
Tie Rulin, the foremost strongman of the spirited spirit, wasn't just an expert in controlling the spirit of strength. From this blow, Mu Yong could see that his control of the spirit of qi was even more skillful and even better than that of the spirit of strength.
How could this be?
Mu Yong couldn't understand. Although Tie Rulin's spirit of qi was at the sixth level, it hadn't reached the Connected realm yet. To strengthen the spirit of strength of the Connected realm, he had to rely on the spirit of qi of a lower level. Was this a form of bias, or …
"You didn't expect this, did you?" Ding Wen resumed his smug tone. Tie Rulin had finally revealed what he'd sensed, but no one in the spirited spirit quadrant seemed to know.
"The spirit of strength has reached the Connected realm. So he must be awakened with the spirit of strength? "Ding Wen smiled. The spirited quadrant was a pretty good one in the academy, but its horizons were still far too lacking when compared to the four great academies.
Mu Yong started. He truly hadn't thought of any other possibility at all. It wasn't just him. No one had any other suspicions about this first strongman of the spirited spirit. But now, from what he could see, Tie Rulin's control of the spirit of qi was even greater than that of the spirit of strength. His spirit of strength had to rely on the spirit of qi in the perceptive realm to increase its power, and the effects were quite outstanding. This made Mu Yong realize another possibility, one that Ding Wen had sensed.
"What he's truly awakened is the spirit of qi!" Ding Wen continued to smile, but that was where his smile ended. Mu Yong didn't even have time to sigh when he saw Ding Wen's smile freeze on his face.
Mu Yong hurriedly looked back at the scene. The strong hurricane was still spinning, reinforcing the power of the axe. However, the handle of the axe was already in Su Tang's hand.
However, this didn't stop the axe's rotation. It continued to spin and chop out with Su Tang's arm.
The surging spirit of strength was released from Su Tang's right hand that was holding the axe. He didn't dodge, nor did he take advantage of the momentum to counteract the axe's attack.
"He really only knows how to use brute force …" Half sitting on the ground, Tie Rulin only wanted to laugh. He couldn't do anything else, this spinning giant axe was the most powerful attack he could make at the moment, the only thing he was worried about was Su Tang dodging it, he didn't have any spare energy to continue fighting. However, Su Tang didn't. She actually wanted to take the axe head-on. In Tie Rulin's eyes, this was a foolish decision.
Tie Rulin's perception and judgment were far from Ding Wen's. At this moment, Ding Wen couldn't laugh anymore. Mu Yong, who had quickly turned to look at him, also quickly made a judgment.
Tie Rulin's spirit of qi strengthened this attack. It was very powerful, but Su Tang's spirit of strength was endless. Grabbing the axe, a short moment of passivity, then a stalemate, and then a full burst of spirit of strength. The spirit of strength that was several times stronger than Tie Rulin's attack had changed this attack just like that. The clash of powerful forces caused the hard axe to tremble and deform a little.
Finally, it chopped down even more powerfully. A ball of shadow fell from Su Tang's hand. Tie Rulin was so shocked that he forgot everything. In the end, he only heard a loud bang. The axe chopped beside him. The hard stone floor of the Soul Ordering Platform instantly shattered. Half of the axe was deeply stuck in the broken stone floor. Blood seeped through the gaps between Su Tang's fingers that were tightly gripping the axe handle. It slid down along the axe handle and dripped onto the Soul Ordering Platform.
"Are you surrendering or not?" Su Tang asked.
