Chapter 76: The Semifinals, He Is Actually Half-Crippled?
The air in the Star Luo Grand Arena seemed to have solidified on this day.
After weeks of fierce fighting, the smoke of the tournament finally converged at the final Peak.
As the name Snow Demon Sect swept through opponents time and again with irresistible force, this originally obscure Sect...
...had long since become a taboo that the entire Star Luo City, and even all the academies that came to participate in the tournament across the continent, spoke of with fear.
The spectators were almost obsessively discussing the black-robed youth who had never shown his true colors.
He had never revealed his Martial Soul, never broken a sweat, and had never even let an opponent touch the hem of his robe.
That kind of Kamui: Intangibility that was so bizarre it bordered on a Law, and the Pupillary Technique that instantly caused the Sea of Consciousness of several Spirit Kings to collapse...
...cast a layer of near-mystical shadow over the Snow Demon Sect.
"Haha, this tournament is way too easy to fight in."
Long Aotian felt as if the bones in his entire body were about to rust during this period.
Because he simply hadn't had a chance to make a move!
Those Spirit Kings on the other side couldn't even withstand a single move in front of Lin Sheng before their Sea of Consciousness was directly damaged.
It would likely take several months for them to recover.
"Lin Sheng, for this semifinal, you have to let us take the stage, right?" Vina teased.
"Hmm..."
Lin Sheng responded with a gentle smile.
Today, the final four were settled.
Shrek Academy's remnant lineup was still struggling to hold on, but fortunately, Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng, and Ling Luochen had returned to the team.
It could be considered as sharing some of the pressure.
The Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy displayed ruling-class firepower, and the Star Luo National Academy possessed the advantage of home ground.
And the result of the draw...
...the moment it flickered on the massive spirit tool screen, the entire arena fell into a deathly silence, followed by an earth-shattering roar of noise.
"Semifinal Match 1: Snow Demon Sect Team VS Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy Team."
"Whoa—!"
The entire crowd was in an uproar.
Obviously, this was a showdown that everyone had been looking forward to, especially given the strength of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy team.
It was extremely powerful, especially those terrifying spirit tools...
"Finally met."
In the waiting area, Long Aotian slowly stood up, his bones emitting a series of crisp cracking sounds.
As the one with the highest Soul Power in the younger generation of the Body Sect.
He had been silent for too long, to the point where he had almost forgotten the feeling of battle.
"Lin Sheng, do you have any thoughts? We'll listen to you."
Long Aotian looked toward Lin Sheng.
Princess Vina smoothed her skirt, a hint of playfulness flashing in her eyes: "Ma Rulong, Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen..."
"The Sun Moon Empire's trump cards are all there. Lin Sheng, how do you plan to play this match?"
Lin Sheng did not speak.
He continued to walk at the very front of the team, his pitch-black robe obscuring his figure, with only his dark hair occasionally appearing and disappearing in the wind.
"Leave it to me."
"The semifinal won't take too long..."
The moment the team members from both sides stood firm in the center of the arena, the fluctuations of Soul Power in the air were almost enough to tear the protective barrier apart.
"Boom—!"
Ma Rulong, as the captain, held the Judgment Sword, his expression grave to the extreme.
Behind him.
Xiao Hongchen's heterochromatic eyes were filled with crazed Battle Intent, and various precise, high-grade spirit tool cannons were already faintly primed on his arms.
"We have studied every one of your matches."
Ma Rulong stared fixedly at the shadow beneath Lin Sheng's hood, his voice deep and powerful.
"Although you are strong, I advise you to bring out your full strength. The glory of the Sun Moon Empire will never allow us to be defeated by ethereal tricks."
"If you still intend to play with space like before, you will definitely pay the price for your arrogant conceit!"
Facing the Title-level pressure and warnings that rushed toward him like a tide, Lin Sheng, standing in place...
...suddenly let out a low laugh.
The laughter sounded exceptionally abrupt in the silent arena, carrying an unspeakable mockery and coldness.
"The price?"
Lin Sheng slowly raised his right hand, and under the suspicious and uncertain gazes of hundreds of thousands of spectators and the leaders of various factions, he gently pinched the edge of that wide black robe.
"Since you want to see so badly... then look clearly."
"Whoosh—!"
The black robe billowed in the wind, and with a casual flick of his hand, it turned into a black afterimage and fell off the arena.
In that instant, the entire arena seemed to have had a mute button pressed.
Appearing before everyone's eyes was a youth with hair as black as ink.
His face was cold and handsome to the point of being bewitching.
But what made everyone feel the most creeped out was his pair of extremely asymmetrical eyes.
The left eye was a dead, grayish-white.
No pupil, no focus, like a weathered stone, exuding a heartbreaking withered quality.
The right eye, however, was blood red!
In that blood-colored pupil, a dark red Mangekyo pattern was slowly and powerfully rotating, emitting a bloodthirsty aura from the depths of the underworld.
That pair of crippled eyes, paired with the faintly pulsing dark red slit on his forehead, formed a bizarre picture with immense visual impact.
"That... that is his eye?!"
"He is actually half-crippled? His left eye is actually blind?!"
Huo Yuhao off the stage suddenly stood up, his Martial Soul Eyes trembling uncontrollably at that moment.
"A Body Martial Soul, and it's actually crippled?"
Huo Yuhao had, during this time...
...gained some understanding of the Body Martial Soul. As far as he knew, the part of the Body Martial Soul could be said to be the most important place for a Soul Master.
And this guy...
...his eye was his Martial Soul.
Yet he ended up having one blind eye?!
"What..."
Ma Rulong and the others were completely stunned.
They had imagined countless versions of their opponent's true face, but they had never thought that this black-robed Shura who had single-handedly made countless teams tremble with fear...
...would actually be a youth who was crippled to this extent.
Xiao Hongchen was stunned for a long while, then let out a wild laugh.
"Hahahaha! After all that, it turns out that the one we were so wary of is actually a useless person who couldn't even keep his own eyes?"
"A Body Martial Soul, yet it's crippled..."
Lin Sheng ignored the grating mockery.
He just slightly raised his hand, his fingertips brushing over that grayish-white left eye, his gaze looking calmly at Ma Rulong.
"Six Spirit Kings."
"One Spirit Emperor..."
His voice was not loud, but it made Ma Rulong's heart skip a beat.
"Since you intend to make me use my full strength, you had better not disappoint me."
Regarding the Sun Moon Empire.
Lin Sheng had no good feelings whatsoever. This Sun Moon Empire could be said to be the one most deeply colluding with Evil Soul Masters; if he could kill them, he would not spare a single one!
"Boom—!"
In an instant, a bizarre black-red light swept through, as if causing the very space to solidify.
"I will let you see clearly how the so-called glory of your Sun Moon Empire... shatters inch by inch."
The dark red light suddenly exploded in his blood-colored pupil.
"Boom—!"
A massive Mangekyo Sharingan, almost covering the heavens and the earth, suddenly bloomed between heaven and earth.
