There was strength in numbers.
This seemed to be a universal truth. However, most of the time, the powerful factor of numbers could not be fully utilized. It could even be considered a burden.
For example, when Lu Ping punched through the entire battlefield, and many people were unable to dodge or were killed or injured, some people could not help but think, If there weren't so many people, they wouldn't have suffered so many casualties from such an attack.
This was thinking about the disadvantage of having more people. But what about the advantage? It was only when Zhou Xiao gave three instructions that they were finally reflected.
And it was not just a simple reflection. It was an excellent reflection.
The Hanging Forest Li Fire at the pivot position formed a curved wall of fire, charging at the finger winds from many people and forming a sweeping attack. The Qi position's Chi Blade, because even the people from the Que Yue and Black Tortoise Academies were involved, their attacks were even more shocking. Dots of cold light, some strong and some weak, fell toward Lu Ping like thousands of knives.
Everyone was instantly excited. It was because everyone could see that Lu Ping had been encircled by the simultaneous attacks from three directions, and there was no room for him to dodge.
However, Zhou Xiao thought more than anyone else. He immediately issued the fourth instruction.
"Feng Luo, Force!"
The special ability was still simple, but the force locked on to the sky above Lu Ping.
Immediately, some of the disciples who were free used Feng Luo above Lu Ping's head. The fire borrowed the power of the wind. With Feng Luo's special ability, the power of the Hanging Forest Li Fire became even stronger.
This kind of battle was too simple!
Seeing that Lu Ping was trapped, everyone rejoiced. There was no prior communication, and there was no grouping. The simple special ability, the most common Seven Physical Positioning Method that everyone knew, mobilized everyone's strength. Although the special ability was weak, when so many people gathered together, no one dared to underestimate it.
Die!
Everyone stared at Lu Ping.
The finger winds swept in, the Chi Blade flying. Who would he die to in the end? Just as everyone began to worry about this question, Lu Ping finally moved.
He didn't move at first because he wanted to find an opening to break out of the encirclement. However, with so many people casting their abilities at the same time, the sound of soul power was so noisy that Lu Ping could not make a judgment in an instant.
One moment was twenty moments. Right now, only one moment was enough to decide his life or death.
Therefore, Lu Ping immediately moved. When he was unable to dodge, he could only forcefully charge forward and rely on Ecstasy Soul Locking to absorb the damage.
However, this technique was not easy at all. Lu Ping needed to create an opening in the Ecstasy Soul Locking the moment he sensed the Soul Power attack. There couldn't be any deviation. In such a chaotic situation, it was even more impossible to accurately imprison the power of each soul.
Therefore, Lu Ping rushed towards the Li Fire in the hanging forest.
He didn't know anything about the Seven Soul Locating Technique, but he knew that the voice of the soul power in this direction was the most concise and clear.
This was Lu Ping's judgment. However, in the eyes of everyone from the three academies, including Zhou Xiao, although the Hanging Forest Li Fire had only been set up by the six of them, the power of the ability itself was much stronger than the Finger Wind and Blade Mantis. Moreover, with the help of Feng Luo, who was in the sky, the attack set up by the six of them was stronger than the other paths.
However, Lu Ping rushed towards this path. This made the six Southern Sky Gate people who cast the Li Fire in the hanging forest feel insulted. Lu Ping had actually used their side as a breakthrough point?
They were angry, and the Li Fire in the hanging forest grew stronger. However, Lu Ping didn't care about this at all.
What he cared about was that the soul power on this side was easier to judge because there were fewer people. As for the strength of the attack … it was a pity. In front of the Six Soul Locking, which could imprison the power of the Six Soul Locking, the Li Fire, the finger winds, the Chi Blade, or even all of them combined, they were all weak. If it wasn't so complicated, Lu Ping wouldn't even need to dodge.
Boom!
When Lu Ping and the others rushed in, the flames of the hanging forest shot up high again. It was as if they had been waiting for a long time for fuel, allowing them to finally release their energy completely.
The people from the three academies were all dumbfounded.
They thought that if Lu Ping wanted to rush in from this side, he would at least have to use some tricks. Who would have thought that without using any tricks or soul power, he would just rush in blindly, as if he was throwing himself into the fire?
The six Southern Sky Gate people who cast the Li Fire in the hanging forest finally breathed a sigh of relief. They were going to take this credit without hesitation.
However, immediately, everyone was dumbfounded again.
Lu Ping, who had been engulfed by the Li Fire in the hanging forest, suddenly appeared in the middle of the flames. His body was actually clean, as if the Li Fire in the hanging forest was afraid of him. Not a single flame touched Lu Ping.
In the blink of an eye, he had already walked through the wall of fire. Not even a strand of his hair was burnt. The six people from the Southern Sky Academy stared at each other, already beginning to suspect that their skills were not up to par.
"Aerial Shot, Pivot." The dean of the Southern Sky Academy calmly issued his fifth instruction.
However, when they heard this instruction, the people from the Black Tortoise Academy were all stunned.
Although Air Shooting wasn't a high-level ability, there weren't many people in the South Sky Academy who knew it. That was because it was a special ability developed and practiced by the Black Tortoise Sect's disciples to complement their martial techniques. It wasn't very useful for others to practice it.
Therefore, Zhou Xiao's instruction this time was clearly not directed at the Southern Sky Academy, but at Black Tortoise Academy.
However, the people from the Black Tortoise Academy, who had been listening to Zhou Xiao's instructions since the third instruction, did not have any objections. They were a little stunned. They had not expected that the dean of the Southern Sky Academy would be able to integrate the special ability of the Black Tortoise Academy into his instructions.
Did he know what Aerial Shot could do?
With such doubts in mind, the people from the Black Tortoise Academy who had practiced this special ability began to coordinate their martial arts techniques with it.
"Thousand Illusions, charge." The next instruction brought the Que Yue Sect's disciples the same surprise. Thousand Illusions was a fifth-grade special ability developed by the Lack Yue Academy. Unlike a minor special ability like Aerial Shot, Thousand Illusions was one of the twenty-five special abilities that the Lack Yue Academy would not easily impart. Learning these twenty-five special abilities at the Lack Yue Academy was as difficult as obtaining the divine weapon of the Hall of Seven Sins.
Therefore, there were not many people who knew this special ability, even in the Lack Yue Academy. However, the people who had come this time were all elites of the academy. Coincidentally, there was a person from the Lack Yue Academy who was proficient in this special ability.
When he heard that even this special ability had been pointed out, he looked at Zhou Xiao in surprise, only to find that Zhou Xiao was also looking at him.
The dean of the Southern Sky Academy not only knew how to use Thousand Illusions, but he also knew who could use it within the formation.
That's pretty impressive … As the person from the Lack Yue Academy thought to himself, he obeyed Zhou Xiao's instructions and set up the Thousand Illusions Barrier.
"Void Technique! End Poor! Shift! Charge! "The next instruction was for the deployment of the charging formation. However, the eyes of the people from the Lack Yue Academy widened.
Under the Thousand Illusions Barrier, the coordination of these three simple special abilities … As members of the Lack Yue Academy, they understood immediately. However, they had not expected that the dean of the Southern Sky Academy would be able to command the people from the Lack Yue Academy in battle with such ease. It was as if he was a senior master of the Lack Yue Academy.
Only the people from the Southern Sky Academy were not surprised. When he saw the surprised expressions of the people from the Lack Yue Academy and the Black and Tortoise Academy, he felt even more pleased.
This was the current dean of the Southern Sky Academy.
Although he had only taken over for a short time, his reputation was somewhat inferior to the deans of the other three academies. However, his grandfather, Zhou Tong, was the founder of the modern cultivation of soul power. His father, Zhou Tian, was a famous encyclopedia in the cultivation world.
In terms of combat strength, they might not be considered tyrannical. But in terms of theory and knowledge, there was no clan or person on the continent that had the foundation of the Zhou family.
Some people even joked that the Zhou family might also have some kind of special ability.
However, only a few people knew that this joke was correct.
The Zhou family did indeed have a special bloodline.
