The next moment, with Lin Ting as the center, a large amount of rainwater began to swirl and surge rapidly, turning into tiny water arrows that converged toward the center to kill.
Back in the arena, Bu Lianshi had used this move to kill eight cultivators with the help of the lake water when he was in the Qi Refinement Stage. Those eight cultivators were instantly killed by the terrifying water currents, their bodies pierced by the water arrows, and their scarlet blood dyed a large part of the lake red. At this moment, a terrifying scene seemed to be about to happen again.
The whirlpool formed by countless water currents exploded with terrifying lethality and headed straight for Lin Ting, who was in the center.
In the sky, the referee had already released a strong wave of spiritual energy, ready to intervene at any time. This was because in a competition of this level, one mistake could cause irreversible damage. The Lin Family did not want to see a genius die in this kind of situation.
Boom!
The next moment, a blazing fire suddenly erupted from the center of the water currents. This fire instantly evaporated the water currents near the whirlpool. The scorching heat spread in all directions, resisting the surging water currents around it.
"As expected of the expert ranked seventh in Bailingzi. If it were anyone else in this situation, I'm afraid no one would be able to react in time. Even if they could react in time, they would not be able to resist Bu Lianshi's terrifying water technique!" Qin Lang said softly.
Hayashikawa stood quietly at the side and did not speak. The meridians around his eyes bulged, and his white eyes allowed him to see more than anyone else. This allowed him to immediately know the result of this battle … Lin Ting had lost!
Sure enough, Bu Lianshi, who was in the middle of casting his technique, suddenly stopped moving his hands. He stopped releasing spiritual energy and instead revealed an embarrassed smile on his face. "Senior Sister Lin Ting, I'm sorry, but you've lost!"
Lin Ting, who was casting her technique to resist Bu Lianshi's attack, was shocked. She did not react immediately. "I … Where did I …"
However, in the next moment, Lin Ting's expression suddenly changed. She was so shocked that her mouth opened wide, and the flame defense around her dissipated. "This … this is … the Gold Technique?"
At this moment, beside Lin Ting, three rays of white light exuded an extremely sharp aura. One was pointed between her eyebrows, one was pointed at her throat, and the last one was fixed at her chest.
Boom! The disciples on the grandstand also let out a shocked sigh. They had no idea when Bu Lian Shishi had used the Metal Art!
In the field, Lin Ting took a deep breath. Looking at the three rays of light that were so close to her, she felt a sense of suffocation. If this was a real battle, she was sure that she would have lost her life under this terrifying metal magic. Nothing could compare to the sharpness of metal. Her body would definitely be unable to withstand a single blow from this metal magic.
"Little sister Bu Lianshi, you really didn't disappoint me today! Surging Whirlpool isn't your real killer move, is it? If I'm not wrong, your killer move should be the Golden Arrow Technique hidden in it! "Lin Ting's eyes regained their calmness. Although she had lost the competition, she did not feel depressed.
"Senior Apprentice Sister Lin Ting, you have good eyes! You saw through my tricks in an instant! I had no choice. You're too strong, so I had to think of other ways to win! "Bu Lian Shishi said with a light smile.
Lin Ting shook her head. She did not notice Bu Lian Shishi's Golden Arrow Technique at all. If it were not for Bu Lian Shishi's reminder, she would still be immersed in resisting the Surging Whirlpool. What awaited her would be an instant kill!
"Little Sister Bu Lianshi, I have a question. How did you manage to fool my Spiritual Energy Perception? Although I know that your Spiritual Energy Perception is very powerful, I don't think it's much worse than yours. However, from the beginning of the battle until now, I didn't even notice the two fatal attacks. One was the Surging Vortex, and the other was the Golden Arrow Technique. If possible, I hope you won't be stingy with your teachings!" Lin Ting slightly frowned, bowed slightly, and asked very humbly.
"It's actually very simple. My talent in Spiritual Energy Perception is not only in controlling my Spiritual Energy, but also in suppressing or blocking other people's Spiritual Energy Perception to a certain extent!" Bu Lian Shishi said softly. He did not choose to hide it. As the number of battles increased, these things would be deduced sooner or later.
Lin Ting's eyes suddenly narrowed. She looked at Bu Lian Shishi with a trace of undetectable fear. This kind of ability could no longer be described as powerful. It made her feel fear!
"Last question. Fire restrains metal. At that time, I released my strongest Fire Defense. Logically speaking, your Golden Arrow Technique should not have been able to penetrate my Fire Defense. However, your Magic Skill quietly appeared in front of me. How did you do it?" Lin Ting took a deep breath and asked.
This was related to her defense in future battles. Therefore, Lin Ting had to be thick-skinned and ask. Otherwise, if she encountered such a situation again in the future, she might really die.
"Little sister Lin Ting, you don't have to worry about this. Other than me, almost no one else can do it!" Bu Lian Shishi saw Lin Ting's worry and comforted her.
"Fire is the bane of metal, but water is the bane of fire. I only need to wrap the Golden Arrow with a layer of water to protect it from being melted by your fire magic!" Bu Lianshi explained without holding back.
"I see! Thank you for your advice! " Hearing Bu Lian Shishi's explanation, Lin Ting's pupils suddenly shrank. She bowed to thank Bu Lian Shishi for his answer.
Indeed, Bu Lian Shishi's method of breaking through her Fire Defense could only be done by a cultivator with the dual attributes of metal and water. Moreover, the requirement of controlling one's Spiritual Force was extremely strict. It required the user to use both Spiritual Forces at the same time. If something went wrong, the Spiritual Spell would directly collapse. Not to mention killing, the user would be thankful if they did not suffer a backlash.
Therefore, Bu Lian Shishi was not exaggerating when he said that other than her, no one else could do it. Lin Ting indeed did not have to worry about anyone using this method to attack her.
When the referee saw that the two Hundred Spirit Disciples had finished talking, he stepped forward and announced the result of the battle.
In the spectator area, many disciples had heard the conversation between Bu Lian Shishi and Lin Ting. They all revealed a thoughtful expression. This was the first time they had learned that a battle could be fought this way. It turned out that cultivation was not an absolute factor in victory.
If Hayashikawa's battle had given them strange abilities and varied methods, then Bu Lian Shishi's battle was a completely different scene. There were no fancy spells or mysterious methods. There was only an absolute suppression in intelligence!
She always used the least amount of Spiritual Force to do the most things. She used the simplest methods to release the most complicated attacks. What Bu Lian Shishi suppressed was not strength, but intelligence!
