Chapter 72: Kamui: Intangibility, Despair Between Reality and Illusion!
After the first round of competition, the Snow Demon Sect team advanced directly to the next round of round-robin matches without any suspense.
"Lin Sheng, it's time for us to take the stage."
Vina found Lin Sheng.
He just sat there quietly, often lost in thought, no one knowing what he was thinking about.
Vina reminded Lin Sheng softly, her eyes full of heartache.
"Mm... Leave it to me."
Lin Sheng responded softly and stood up slowly by himself.
"Is he... going alone?"
...
The Star Luo City Grand Arena was bathed in scorching sunlight.
The voice of the amplification spirit tool echoed throughout the arena, announcing the start of the second round of round-robin matches.
As the words 'Snow Demon Sect' rang out...
The atmosphere in the stands was instantly ignited to its climax.
"Look! It's that black-robed youth!"
"I still can't forget the sight of him insta-killing three Spirit Kings that day. I wonder what kind of power he will display today."
Cheers surged like tsunamis, wave after wave.
And at the premium seats in the VIP section...
The gazes of various factions were like spotlights, firmly locked onto the contestants' tunnel!
...
Inside the waiting area of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, the atmosphere seemed somewhat mysterious.
Xiao Hongchen stood with his arms crossed.
His long silver hair fluttered in the breeze as he watched the black-robed figure slowly emerge onto the field, a sneer of extreme disdain curling at the corner of his mouth.
"Grandfather, is this the person who is rumored to be so miraculous? I think he's just hiding his face and playing tricks."
"In the face of absolute spirit tool firepower coverage, any technique is just the struggle of an ant."
Jing Hongchen sat to one side, fiddling with a device similar to a spirit tool in his hand.
He didn't immediately acknowledge Xiao Hongchen.
His deep eyes, however, revealed a rare hint of solemnity: "Do not be careless."
"Although we haven't fought yet, I can sense that the space around that youth is unnaturally stable. This kind of opponent is often more terrifying than those who flaunt their Aura."
And on the other side...
In the Shrek team's rest area, Wang Yan's hand had unconsciously tightened around his notebook.
Xu Sanshi, Bei Bei, and the others held their breath.
Especially Huo Yuhao; his Spirit Eyes opened spontaneously, attempting to capture the truth behind that black and red void...
But he found that a bottomless black hole seemed to exist around the youth.
Even his line of sight could be swallowed!
"If we go up against this guy, just how much of a chance do we have..."
Huo Yuhao muttered to himself in a low voice.
As the referee announced the results of the draw...
A team match, seven-on-seven. A wave of uncertain, startled exclamations erupted from the crowd.
But...
On the Snow Demon Sect's side, there should have been seven team members entering the field, yet on that wide metal stage, only Lin Sheng stood quietly in the center.
Long Aotian, Vina, and the others stood with their hands behind their backs in the waiting area.
They had no intention of taking the field at all.
"What's going on? Is the Snow Demon Sect planning to forfeit the match?"
"One against seven? On the opposite side is the seed team of the Dou Ling Empire, all of them at the Spirit King Peak!"
The seven members of the Dou Ling Empire team across from him had ashen faces, and the leading captain even felt a sense of utter humiliation.
He pointed at Lin Sheng and roared.
"Utterly arrogant! Even if you insta-killed seven people that day, today we will make you pay the price for this arrogance!"
Lin Sheng let out an almost inaudible chuckle from beneath his wide hood.
His right eye slowly opened.
It was as if blood-colored light was swirling around it, faintly causing a special distortion in the surrounding space...
"Too much nonsense. Just do it."
Such an arrogant attitude...
Directly made the seven seed contestants opposite him incredibly furious, their smiles becoming sinister.
"Go! Kill him with everything you've got!"
With a command from the Dou Ling captain, the seven Spirit Kings instantly activated their strongest Spirit Abilities.
For a moment...
Soul Power surged on the stage as flames, ice, gales, and thunder wove into an airtight net of death, blocking all of Lin Sheng's paths of retreat.
Boom—!
The overwhelming attacks instantly submerged Lin Sheng's thin figure like a raging tide.
Some of the more timid spectators in the audience even covered their eyes, unable to bear the sight of the youth being blasted into dust.
However, a hair-raising scene occurred.
Countless terrifying Spirit Abilities passed through Lin Sheng's body; thunder surged through him and struck the hard metal platform, blasting out a huge crater.
Fireballs streaked across his chest...
Yet they failed to ignite even a single fiber of that black robe.
Lin Sheng just stood there quietly in the center of the explosion.
His body seemed to have turned into a projection at that moment, a void-like phantom!
All the attacks lost their target upon reaching him.
It was like stones being thrown into an abyss, without causing even the slightest ripple.
"Mangekyo Sharingan Pupillary Technique..."
"Fourth Soul skills, Kamui: Intangibility."
The fourth Soul Ring around Lin Sheng's body suddenly rose—the white-gold Soul Ring that uniquely belonged to the Tianmeng Iceworm!
Boom—!
"This... how is this possible?!"
The Dou Ling captain's eyes were nearly splitting from shock.
His first Soul skills, a heavy hammer, had clearly struck the youth's head, yet it felt as if it had hit thin air...
That sensation of hitting nothing almost made him cough up blood!
In the stands, Jing Hongchen suddenly stood up, his eyes full of disbelief.
"Space... he hid a part of his body in another dimension?!"
"What a terrifying Soul skills! That is absolutely not a ten-year Soul Ring!"
...
"My turn."
On the stage.
Lin Sheng's voice sounded exceptionally clear amidst the noisy sounds of explosions.
He slowly raised his head.
The hood slipped off amidst those invisible ripples, revealing the eerie blood-colored Mangekyo Sharingan in his right eye.
Buzz...
That flash of red light became the final vision in the eyes of the seven members of the Dou Ling team.
"Double Pupil Spirit Bone skill, Light of Destruction!"
Using the pupillary power of his right eye bolstered by the Power of Destiny, Lin Sheng instantly unleashed a Spiritual torrent as thick as a physical substance.
With the help of the Double Pupil External Soul Bone!
It was released abruptly!
Boom—!
This force accurately captured the Sea of Consciousness of his seven opponents.
Intangibility ended, and his physical state returned.
While those seven opponents were still immersed in the shock of their attacks passing through him, their minds were instantly pulled into a blood-colored wasteland.
On the stage, the originally violent Soul Power fluctuations came to an abrupt halt.
One second.
Two seconds.
The seven elite Spirit Kings of the Dou Ling Empire stiffened in unison, and then their eyes rolled back.
Like puppets with their strings cut, they fell to the ground in a neat heap with a thud!
No wounds, no bloodstains.
Only a death-like silence.
Lin Sheng slowly withdrew his gaze, the Sharingan in his brow closing. He adjusted his hood and turned to walk toward the contestants' tunnel.
"..."
The entire arena fell into a long, deathly silence once again.
Then, earth-shaking exclamations exploded—it was awe for absolute power.
Xiao Hongchen stood stiffly in the waiting area, his originally clenched fists now trembling slightly.
This method of killing without even needing to strike had completely overturned his understanding.
