Chapter 272: Giving Hu Liena a Mental Backlash Right at the Start!
After Yu Tianlin fell under Hu Liena's Charm Spirit Ability, he immediately felt a faint sense of dizziness.
It was as if his entire body had been wrapped in a layer of pink mist, while Hu Liena, not far away, struck a seductive pose toward him.
So this was the charm of the so called Heavenly Fox?
It really did not seem like much.
Even taking it head on was not enough to shake his mental force.
After personally experiencing it, Yu Tianlin was a little speechless.
He gave his head a slight shake, and in the next instant, a blue purple light suddenly flashed in his eyes.
He directly mobilized all of his mental force and launched a fierce counterattack.
Hu Liena had been staring straight into Yu Tianlin's slightly unfocused eyes. She clearly had not expected this heaven defying genius to be so careless that he would so easily fall into her charm.
While feeling a trace of disdain in her heart, a confident smile appeared on her face.
But in the very next moment, when the blue purple light erupted from Yu Tianlin's eyes and his full mental force rebounded against her, Hu Liena's expression changed drastically.
She suffered a fierce mental backlash on the spot.
Since Yu Tianlin had shown no mercy at all, the backlash Hu Liena suffered was naturally severe.
With a muffled groan, she staggered back several steps, and two streams of fresh blood flowed straight from her nose.
In this very first exchange, Hu Liena suffered a heavy loss.
Mental confrontations were always this direct. Other than a few very special cases, the side with stronger mental force would generally crush the side with weaker mental force.
For Hu Liena to try using charm on Yu Tianlin, whose mental force was far above hers, was simply asking for trouble. Suffering backlash was only natural.
This could be considered the weakness of Mental System Spirit Masters.
As the saying went, if you walked by the river often enough, your shoes would get wet sooner or later.
Relying on mental force could make someone invincible for a time, but one day they would inevitably encounter someone with even stronger mental force and suffer the consequences.
"Nana!"
Seeing Hu Liena, who should have held the advantage, suddenly end up in such a miserable state, Xie Yue, who was standing behind her, immediately cried out in alarm and moved forward, intending to support her.
"Attack!"
Seeing such a good opportunity appear, the Thunder Academy Team launched their assault without hesitation under Yu Tianlin's command.
At the same time, Xue Wu in the rear directly began dancing, already preparing to activate the Martial Soul Fusion Skill later.
"Leave me alone. Deal with the enemy first."
Hu Liena pressed one hand to her forehead. Her delicate brows were tightly knit, and her expression was clearly uncomfortable.
Still, she used her other hand to push her brother away, signaling that the match mattered more right now.
After all, Hu Liena was still a Spirit King level Mental System Spirit Master.
Although she had suffered a heavy backlash, it was not enough to make her lose the ability to fight. After taking a moment to recover, she could still continue battling.
Xie Yue and Yan both understood that the battle took priority, and they also believed Hu Liena would be fine.
So the two of them immediately turned their attention toward the Thunder Academy Team's charge.
Aside from Xu Yu, the support type Brilliant Gold Scepter Spirit Master who remained in the rear, the other five all rushed forward together.
Xie Yue and Yan did not pay much attention to the other members of Thunder Academy. In their view, those people could be left to the rest of their team.
The two of them immediately charged at Yu Tianlin from the left and right.
Even with Yu Tianlin's strength, if he wanted to face the pincer attack of two Spirit Kings with perfect spirit ring configurations without fully erupting, it would still not be possible to finish them quickly.
So this was exactly when the Control System Spirit Masters had to create an opening.
Shui Binger seized the moment and immediately cast Ice Seal on Xie Yue.
Lei Dong followed up at once. The God Locking Ring flew out from his body and wrapped around Xie Yue as well.
Their goal was obvious. They wanted to first slow Xie Yue down and create an opportunity for Yu Tianlin to take Yan out of the fight first.
Under normal logic, the ideal target should actually have been Yan. After all, Xie Yue was Hu Liena's partner for their Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
But Shui Binger chose the opposite course because she remained calm and rational.
Even though both of them were assault type Spirit Kings, Yan possessed a Beast Martial Soul while Xie Yue possessed a Tool Martial Soul.
In terms of physical fitness alone, Xie Yue was naturally slightly weaker.
So choosing him as the control target would naturally make the control last longer.
Even after seeing Xie Yue restricted and his movements slowed, Yan showed no intention of stopping to help him.
As a member of Spirit Hall's Golden Generation, his arrogance was extremely high. He had always been used to showing off his own strength and disliked cooperating with others.
Besides, in Yan's eyes, this level of control could never truly hold Xie Yue down. And since he had long wanted to personally test Yu Tianlin's power, facing him one on one at this moment was perfect.
With a heavy roar, dragon claw and twin fists collided head on. Lightning and flame exploded at the point of impact.
The next moment, Yan was blasted back more than 5 meters by Yu Tianlin.
Although Yan clearly lost ground in that exchange, he was not actually injured. Only a few white marks appeared on his fists where Yu Tianlin's dragon claw had scraped across them. In other words, he had genuinely managed to block the attack.
The Flame Lord Spirit possessed both fire and earth attributes. It had excellent offense, outstanding defense, and came with fire elemental power as well.
It was because of these traits that Yan could barely hold his own against Yu Tianlin.
Worthy of being Spirit Hall's Golden Generation. He really was somewhat interesting.
Seeing this, Yu Tianlin narrowed his eyes and immediately pressed the attack against Yan.
That first clash had only been a test.
Now that Yu Tianlin had become serious, the second exchange instantly put Yan at a clear disadvantage.
At the same time, the other members on both sides also began clashing with one another.
Lei Tian directly went to face Zhang Ping, who possessed the Golden Waist Swift Swallow Spirit.
Since both of them had the ability to fly, they instantly engaged in a fierce battle high above the arena.
Lei Mie wielded his Thunder Fang Blade against Sun Chuantao's Ringed Great Blade, while Yu Hairou confronted Li Kai of the Black Horned Mountain Pig.
Other than Yu Tianlin suppressing Yan, the Thunder Academy Team was actually at a disadvantage in the other three smaller battlefields.
And this was with Shui Binger and Lei Dong both fully focused on controlling Xie Yue, while Hu Liena had temporarily lost the ability to join the battle.
In the end, the gap in spirit power cultivation still existed.
However, these temporary disadvantages did not matter.
Because Xie Wu had been dancing in the rear the whole time, preparing for the Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
At this moment, she finally summoned a heavy dark cloud, and a curtain of rain poured down from the sky.
Yan had already been at a disadvantage while facing Yu Tianlin alone. Now that Xie Wu had brought down rain, his battle environment became even worse.
Even if he could still maintain the flames on his body under the downpour, his spirit power consumption would inevitably increase, and the power of his flames would also inevitably weaken.
Little by little, he could no longer hold on.
