Under the horrified gazes of the three, Kong Xuan's figure, like a faded ink wash painting, slowly disappeared before them. This was clearly the result of Kong Xuan slowing down the process, otherwise, it would have been an instantaneous event.
Whether visually or by feeling, Kong Xuan seemed to vanish from the spot.
Then, from the tip of his sky-supporting spear, he gradually solidified and reappeared in the three's line of sight.
"Empty and Egoless," Kong Xuan's voice came from all directions, "This is Spear Intent, not a Spirit Ability."
Only when the last word fell did his figure fully manifest.
Spear Intent!
Hearing these two words, Xu Wei and Xu Tianyi both had a hint of confusion on their faces, apparently never having heard of this concept before.
The Sun Moon Empire did not prioritize Spirit Master cultivation, and they hadn't even fully understood their own Spirit Abilities, let alone creating new ones.
So, even Xu Tianyi, a member of the imperial family, knew nothing about Spear Intent.
It was Kong Ling, who had grown up by Kong Xuan's side, who, through constant exposure, knew what her Brother Xuan's long-sought Spear Intent was.
Her eyes widened, and she said with surprise, "Brother, the breakthrough you mentioned was the condensation of Spear Intent?"
Kong Xuan smiled, "Exactly!"
Kong Ling then asked curiously, "Brother, what kind of Spear Intent is yours? How can it make you disappear?"
"My Spear Intent is called 'Empty and Clear.' My spear stance is ethereal, seemingly present yet absent. The spear moves with my will, and my will arises from my heart."
Seeing their bewildered expressions, Kong Xuan knew they probably hadn't understood what he was saying.
He then explained, "Simply put, under my Empty and Clear artistic conception, I can conceal traces of my attacks, making it impossible for opponents to discern my intentions and targets."
"At the same time, under the influence of this artistic conception, I can also merge with the surrounding environment. The move I used just now to evade the Sun God's Light was like that, it's also a kind of application of spatial ability."
After Kong Xuan's explanation, the three finally understood what had just happened.
"Brother Xuan, that move of yours just now is more powerful than many Spirit Abilities!"
Xu Wei's eyes widened, and he exclaimed in surprise, "And if that's the case, doesn't that mean Brother Xuan has one more Spirit Ability than other Spirit Masters?"
A Spirit Master's strength primarily relies on the Spirit Abilities provided by their spirit ring and Spirit Bone.
Now, Kong Xuan's Spear Intent, which could achieve the effect of a Spirit Ability, was equivalent to having an extra skill slot out of thin air.
The positions of a Spirit Master's spirit ring and Spirit Bone are fixed, so they can only have so many Spirit Abilities. Having one more is an extraordinary feat.
Xu Tianyi also looked at Kong Xuan with a serious expression. The more he understood his opponent, the more he felt the gap between himself and him.
His state of mind had also undergone tremendous changes in just over ten days.
From initially wanting to surpass his opponent, he now saw no hope of catching up, no matter how hard he tried.
This sense of disparity was the source of his fear.
He clenched his fists, forcing his surging thoughts to calm down.
"If you all work hard, perhaps you can also master such an ability."
Kong Xuan's gaze swept across the faces of the three. Except for Kong Ling, the other two unconsciously lowered their heads, not daring to meet his gaze.
Although they didn't know how this Spear Intent was created, listening to the previous conversation, it seemed Kong Xuan had put in a lot of effort to master this Empty and Clear Spear Intent. The two of them truly had no confidence.
Kong Xuan asking this wasn't him being boastful, but rather because he believed that with his—
No, more accurately, with the auxiliary guidance of his teacher Yun Ming, they also had the possibility of condensing their own 'Intent.'
However, these were all matters for later, requiring careful planning.
Kong Xuan glanced at the three and asked, "Do we still want to continue the match?"
Kong Xuan's Empty and Clear Spear Intent brought a strong shock to the three, significantly reducing their fighting spirit.
So, Kong Xuan's question was met with silence.
It wasn't until a moment later that a voice finally broke the silence.
"Of course, we must continue!"
This voice was almost shouted, and everyone's gaze instantly focused on Xu Tianyi's face.
He raised his head, staring intently at Kong Xuan, breathing heavily, as if he had struggled to shout out that sentence.
He wanted to maintain his fighting spirit; he was unwilling to be someone who retreated without a fight!
Xu Tianyi's shout also reawakened Xu Wei and Kong Ling's fighting spirit, and both immediately declared that the battle would continue!
Kong Xuan's expression also became serious, "Then—let's begin!"
This time, Kong Xuan took the initiative to attack.
Just as he had demonstrated to the three earlier, his figure seemed to vanish within the Soul Fighting Arena.
His three opponents frantically looked around, but still couldn't find Kong Xuan's figure.
Xu Tianyi sensed something was wrong. Without time to think, his body reacted instinctively, raising his dragonized right arm to block in front of him.
Kong Xuan's figure had already appeared beside him. His sky-supporting spear swept across Xu Tianyi's right arm, pushing him back several steps.
At the same time, Kong Xuan pressed forward, continuing his pursuit, giving Xu Tianyi no chance to catch his breath.
He only felt that the long spear attacking him was erratic and unpredictable. He seemed to have flaws no matter how he defended, and he was flustered for a moment.
Kong Ling's Sun God's Light once again attacked Kong Xuan, trying to help Xu Tianyi out of his predicament, but it was still a step too late.
Kong Xuan's figure once again "virtualized," evading the Sun God's Light and disappearing from their sight.
And Xu Tianyi stood there dumbfounded. Just now, a scene that had happened before was replayed.
The tip of the sky-supporting spear was once again pressed against his throat. The extreme sharpness made him tremble all over, and his forehead was already covered in cold sweat.
Needless to say, Xu Tianyi knew himself that he had been eliminated!
When Kong Xuan reappeared, he was already in front of his sister.
For his beloved sister, he naturally didn't use the sky-supporting spear.
He just reached out and flicked Kong Ling's forehead, then softly said, "You've been eliminated too!"
The small orange-red sun above her head disappeared. Kong Ling stomped her foot. Although she didn't cry this time, she still couldn't help but exclaim, "Brother, your Spear Intent is too unfair!"
Kong Xuan just chuckled at her words and didn't respond.
Two of the three opponents had already been dealt with; now only Xu Wei remained.
After defeating his sister, Kong Xuan's figure suddenly blurred, and his sky-supporting spear drew a mysterious arc.
Xu Wei's lightning, under the shroud of the Spear Intent, was noticeably delayed, yet still moved through the spear shadows at an astonishing speed.
Although Kong Xuan's Spear Intent was strong, it could only be considered a functional "Intent," and did not provide much enhancement to attack power.
Xu Wei's First Spirit Skill, Lightning Flash, was a divine skill, granting extreme speed while also providing immunity to physical damage.
But for Kong Xuan, dealing with him would not be as helpless as with Xu Tianyi.
His golden pupils brightened even more. Although not obvious in daylight, they were clearly emitting golden light.
At this moment, Xu Wei's trajectory was crystal clear in Kong Xuan's eyes; he could even predict Xu Wei's next position.
"It's useless!"
Kong Xuan's voice came from all directions, "Although your Lightning Flash is exquisite, but—"
The sky-supporting spear suddenly froze in a seemingly empty spot!
"But I have already grasped the pattern!"
"Clang!"
Although the sky-supporting spear was stuck in the ground, both Kong Xuan and Xu Wei knew that the previous spear strike had hit!
