Chapter 2254

For a moment, many of the prodigies rose to their feet one after another.

There were exactly ninety prodigies at the Dao Venerable 1st Realm present, and more than half of them stood up.

Clearly, these prodigies were unconvinced by Lin Moyu, who had inserted himself halfway through, and they decided to use a sparring match to teach him a lesson.

Although they had lost in the comprehension and Dao Heart segments, they could certainly regain their face in the sparring segment.

No matter how strong you become in the future, at least for now, you still have to stay down.

Lin Moyu looked around, and his gaze finally landed on one person. "You'll do."

Everyone followed Lin Moyu's gaze; the person Lin Moyu had chosen was Xiang Qing, who was seated at the twenty-sixth position on the left and ranked fifty-first overall.

Xiang Qing, from the Chishan Sect, was at the Dao Venerable 1st Realm.

Among the hundred prodigies, his strength was in the middle tier, and he cultivated the Earth Great Dao, one of the Five Elements Great Dao.

Xiang Qing's techniques leaned towards defense; his defense was extremely strong, but his offensive capabilities were lacking.

The two were simultaneously teleported into the arena, standing ten thousand meters apart.

The space within the arena had been greatly expanded; although the two were ten thousand meters apart, there was still a vast amount of space behind them for maneuvering.

Xiang Qing looked at Lin Moyu. "You chose me because my techniques are biased towards defense, right?"

Xiang Qing had good self-awareness and roughly knew why Lin Moyu had chosen him.

His techniques lacked offensive power, so even if Lin Moyu lost, he wouldn't lose too embarrassingly, and he might even be able to drag it out for a while.

Lin Moyu cupped his hands. "Senior Xiang is half right; that is only one of the reasons. As for the other reason, this junior has his own considerations."

Xiang Qing did not pry further. "However, rest assured, I will show mercy and won't let you lose too badly."

Lin Moyu revealed a slight smile. "Many thanks for your consideration, Senior Xiang."

Xiang Qing was not humble. "It's not about consideration. A top-tier genius like you has limitless future potential. I don't want to offend you and have you come knocking on my door to settle old scores later."

Unexpectedly, that was the reason; Xiang Qing was quite an honest man.

Xiang Qing said, "Alright, you can make your move. As your senior, I grant you the right to strike first."

Lin Moyu said, "Then this junior will not stand on ceremony!"

Lin Moyu snapped his fingers, and a hundred Skeleton Divine Generals appeared beside him.

The hundred Skeleton Divine Generals were all Mid-stage Heavenly Venerates, slightly stronger than Lin Moyu himself.

Xiang Qing was slightly stunned. "Are these puppets?"

Lin Moyu shook his head. "These are my techniques; I specialize in summoning arts."

Xiang Qing said, "I have heard of summoning arts, but seeing it today, it has truly opened my eyes. With these hundred skeletons, you should be invincible among Mid-stage Heavenly Venerates."

The implication was that using them to deal with him was still far from enough.

Lin Moyu said, "My summoning arts do not end here."

Then, the Legion Commander No. 1 of the Dragon Cavalry Legion appeared.

At the same time, a hundred Dragon Cavalry also appeared.

The Dragon Cavalry were also Mid-stage Heavenly Venerates, slightly stronger than the Skeleton Divine Generals, and had already touched the edge of the High-level Heavenly Venerable realm.

And the Legion Commander No. 1 was a true High-level Heavenly Venerable, and among High-level Heavenly Venerates, he belonged to the top tier.

Xiang Qing narrowed his eyes. "I retract my previous words. Your strength is already comparable to a High-level Heavenly Venerable. No wonder you were able to break through the illusion realm so quickly."

Once he said this, the people outside the arena finally understood why Lin Moyu could break through the illusion realm so quickly.

It turned out he specialized in summoning arts and could summon an army of skeletons, which made him much stronger than those fighting alone.

Lin Moyu said nothing and snapped his fingers again.

A ball of fire lit up out of thin air; the skeleton throne emerged from the Undying Flame, and the thousand-meter-tall Skeleton King appeared behind Lin Moyu.

The aura of a Peak Heavenly Venerable surged back and forth in the arena!

Chapter 2781: The Weakest in the Same Realm

Xiang Qing looked at the Peak Heavenly Venerable Realm Skeleton King, and his gaze became serious. "You have few rivals in the Heavenly Venerable Realm, but trying to use this to deal with me is still lacking."

Lin Moyu was blunt. "That is natural; this junior just wanted to try."

A yellowish light rose from Xiang Qing's body. "Make your move."

Lin Moyu said, "Senior, be careful!"

With a thought, the Dragon Cavalry Legion launched a death Charge first.

A hundred Dragon Cavalry formed a battle formation, turning into a sharp blade, and charged towards Xiang Qing.

The Skeleton Divine Generals followed closely behind, pouncing forward.

At this moment, the Dragon Cavalry and Skeleton Divine Generals were all handed over to the Legion Commander No. 1 to command; Lin Moyu once again became the hands-off manager.

The Legion Commander No. 1 raised his war blade high and let out a low roar.

In an instant, the Bone Law surged, and a sea of bones descended.

At the very front of the Dragon Cavalry Legion, space slightly distorted; the Bone Hell existed in a hidden form.

A brilliant yellow light flared in front of Xiang Qing, and a tall, yellowish wall appeared out of thin air, blocking the path of the Dragon Cavalry Legion. This was his Earth Great Dao, belonging to the Five Elements of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth.

The Earth Great Dao had another name: the Thick Earth Great Dao. Its primary function was defense, and among the many Great Daos, its defense was extremely powerful.

The yellowish wall vibrated, and the Dragon Cavalry Legion was knocked back.

However, their Charge was not without results; a crack, not too large, appeared on the high wall.

The most important thing was that the Bone Hell in front of the legion was also impacted, completing the marking of the high wall.

"What a pity!"

Lin Moyu sighed slightly in his heart; the Bone Hell had only completed the marking of the high wall and had failed to complete the marking of Xiang Qing.

The Legion Commander No. 1 did not care about this; he roared again, and the Skeleton Divine Generals raised their swords in unison, their movements perfectly synchronized.

Technique: White Bone God-Slaying!

The Bone Law sea boiled, and countless bones turned into countless sharp blades and rushed out.

On the yellowish high wall that Xiang Qing had formed, white sword light suddenly lit up.

The crack suddenly widened, and at the same time, Xiang Qing let out a muffled groan, his brows furrowing tightly as he felt pain originating from his soul.

The White Bone God-Slaying landed on the high wall, but the soul attack of the Bone Law followed the wall and landed on Xiang Qing, making him feel quite uncomfortable.

The high wall was formed by Xiang Qing using his own Great Dao; it inherently contained a trace of Xiang Qing's soul power, and the Bone Law attacked this very trace of soul power.

The crack in the high wall expanded further, and the Skeleton King finally moved at this moment.

He crossed the ten-thousand-meter distance in two steps, arrived in front of the high wall, raised his huge bone sword, and slashed down onto the wall with a boom.

The high wall vibrated and trembled, the crack expanded again, and it looked like it was about to shatter.

Xiang Qing had only formed this high wall casually, without expending much effort; under the repeated attacks of the Undead Legion, it was rapidly reaching the edge of shattering.

Xiang Qing gave a light shout and threw a punch from afar towards Lin Moyu!

The high wall exploded with a boom, and the power of the Great Dao transformed into a giant fist that smashed towards Lin Moyu.

Lin Moyu unfurled the Wings of the Undead. As the wings vibrated, an invisible force surged out, severing the soul lock. He transformed into a stream of light and flew into the distance, avoiding Xiang Qing's punch.

At the position where he had originally stood, an inconspicuous spark of fire flashed once and was then extinguished by Xiang Qing's punch.

This spark was the Bone Hell; under Lin Moyu's precise control, the Bone Hell had completed the marking.

The Legion Commander No. 1 seized the opportunity and swung his war blade. "Fatal Strike!"

With this strike, he did not just gather the power of the Dragon Cavalry present on the surface; even the power of the Dragon Cavalry that had not been summoned was gathered together.

The blade light swept towards Xiang Qing; the power of this strike had already reached the Peak Heavenly Venerable level.

Yellow light bloomed on Xiang Qing's body; he did not dodge or evade, blocking the Legion Commander No. 1's attack.

With his strength, blocking an attack of the Peak Heavenly Venerable Realm was extremely easy.

The Skeleton King also swung his sword simultaneously.

Technique: White Bone God-Slaying!

Behind the Skeleton King, the Bone Law also emerged, which was even more powerful than the Bone Law of the Undead Legion.

Xiang Qing instinctively wanted to dodge, but he couldn't dodge at all; sword light suddenly lit up on his body.

The White Bone God-Slaying ignored time and space, acting directly on Xiang Qing's body.

At the same time, the Bone Law followed the attack and landed on Xiang Qing's soul.

Xiang Qing groaned again; the feeling of his soul being attacked was truly unpleasant.

Although Lin Moyu's summoning arts were not considered powerful, every attack contained a soul attack, which made him very unhappy.

Xiang Qing snorted, and the faint light covering his body suddenly became heavy.

An incredibly heavy Great Dao appeared on his body, transforming into armor to protect him.

The Thick Earth Great Dao protected not only Xiang Qing's body but also his soul.

Xiang Qing did not want his soul to be attacked again, so he simply used his Great Dao for protection.

Having used the Thick Earth Great Dao for protection, even practitioners in the same realm would find it difficult to cause him harm.

He grinned at Lin Moyu, and his entire body instantly transformed into a stream of light and charged over.

Lin Moyu vibrated the Wings of the Undead to retreat, while pointing a finger.

Origin-level Technique: Time Curse!

The Time Curse used on Xiang Qing could only affect him for a split second, and that was all Lin Moyu was aiming for.

Red light lit up, and Xiang Qing, who had just started moving, was suddenly stunned and stopped in mid-air.

The Legion Commander No. 1 swung his blade in synchronization at this moment, and a hundred Dragon Cavalry pounced over. They did not attack Xiang Qing but instead surrounded him tightly.

The Dragon Cavalry were huge, and in the gaps between them, the Skeleton Divine Generals squeezed in to fill the spaces.

In just that split second, Xiang Qing was surrounded by the undead. It was unclear how many layers there were; from the outside, the situation inside could no longer be seen.

After regaining his senses, all Xiang Qing saw was a sea of black.

He let out a loud roar, and the power of the Great Dao suddenly erupted; the innermost layer of the Undead Legion was instantly crushed by the power of the Great Dao.

In an instant, more than half of the Undead Legion was killed.

The remaining Undead Legion continued to surround him, and attacked continuously, landing on him repeatedly, making clanging sounds like hammering iron.

Lin Moyu's strategy was simple: regardless of whether it was useful or not, attack first.

At the same time, the deceased Undead Legion disappeared, reappeared beside the Legion Commander, and charged over again to join the encirclement.

In the eyes of outsiders, Lin Moyu had summoned another batch of skeletons.

Xiang Qing crushed batch after batch of undead, but Lin Moyu's summoning speed was also very fast; batch after batch followed to fill the gaps, as if they were endless.

"Sure enough, his skeletons can be summoned again after being killed in battle; they are endless."

"I don't believe they are truly endless; there must be a limit."

"Even if there is a limit, at least he can hold out for a long time; that much is true."

"So that's how he won the final illusion realm in the second round."

"And it is precisely because of this that he chose Xiang Qing; Xiang Qing's attack power is indeed somewhat lacking; he is the weakest in the same realm."

"Why didn't he choose me? My Fire Great Dao could burn these guys clean with a single fire."

The other prodigies discussed among themselves, constantly analyzing Lin Moyu's tactics.

From the current perspective, Lin Moyu was using a delaying tactic.

This tactic was very effective against Xiang Qing, but it was not very useful against others.

From this, it could be seen that Lin Moyu's combat power had indeed reached the level of being invincible in the Heavenly Venerable Realm, but compared to a Dao Venerable, he was still a bit lacking.

Chapter 2782: This is the result I wanted

Xiang Qing had been surrounded for a full minute; Lin Moyu's tactic had also successfully delayed for a minute.

A Mid-stage Heavenly Venerable against a prodigy Dao Venerable, being able to drag it out for a minute was already very impressive.

Xiang Qing's voice sounded from within the encirclement. "That's enough, isn't it?"

It could be heard that there was already a trace of anger in his voice.

Lin Moyu's tactic was too shameless; it was purely for stalling for time.

Upon hearing Xiang Qing's voice, Lin Moyu retreated rapidly, backing away extremely far, almost reaching the edge of the arena.
