Chapter 52 Thousand-Pound Spear

After announcing the rules and rewards, the old man clapped his hands and said, "The competition will begin at noon tomorrow. The competition venue is this jungle outside the academy right here. You are free to move around now."

Lin Zhao looked around and found that the path he came from had disappeared at some point. The square was completely surrounded by endless trees, like the mouth of a monster, devouring all the disciples of the competition.

Mingyue grasped Lin Zhao's hand and asked in confusion, "Since the competition starts tomorrow, why are we being placed here today?"

Lin Zhao felt the gazes coming from all directions, and unconsciously straightened his back, his eyes shining like stars. He looked around thoughtfully and said, "Because he is waiting for the new students to form an alliance on their own."

Clearly, Nanhai College is not looking for the kind of aloof and naive person who is out of touch with the world.

Mingyue closed her eyes, the bells on her ankles jingled, and then more than a dozen figures quietly gathered around her and bowed in her direction.

"We are from the Inviting Moon Sect and greet the Young Sect Master."

Mingyue nodded casually, tilting her head. "Are there enough people?"

Lin Zhao looked at the dozen or so cultivators, all of whom were at least at the third level of the Enlightenment stage, and clicked his tongue in amazement.

Any one of these dozen or so people would be among the top three in any aristocratic family.

Only a transcendent force like the Invitation Moon Sect, second only to the three giants, could produce more than a dozen such young talents.

"That's enough," Lin Zhao said. "But bringing me along will cause a lot of trouble."

Mingyue naturally knew what she was talking about. "Leave that guy to me."

Mingyue doesn't even consider a mere nine-story consecrated building a threat.

The group from the Inviting Moon Sect also said, "Fairy Wangshu, there's no need to overthink it. Our Inviting Moon Sect isn't afraid of a mere Holy Light Empire."

Lin Zhao helplessly touched his nose, sighed, and thought to himself, "I can't exactly tell you guys that I'm going to level up and fight monsters, and incidentally eliminate the entire Holy Light Empire, can I?"

One of them was consecrated, and they wanted to eliminate the team led by one of the five rising stars.

If she said that, everyone except Mingyue would probably think she was crazy.

Mingyue's brows twitched slightly: "If something happens to you, sister, then you don't need to come with us. But sister, please be careful."

As she spoke, she took out a blue bell from her spatial ring.

"If there's any emergency, I can sense it by ringing this bell."

Lin Zhao took the bell and said, "Let's add a Tian Tong number so that we can contact each other if anything happens later."

Mingyue took out the Heavenly Mirror, and after the two exchanged Heavenly Teleportation Devices, Lin Zhao's figure quickly disappeared into the depths of the jungle.

Seeing this, Jialan, who had been keeping an eye on Lin Zhao, gave a wink to a thin man beside her.

Lin Zhao had only walked a hundred miles or so from the square when he sensed that the aura that had been following him was no longer stable.

"Alright, I'll start with you."

When Linghe, the thin man following Lin Zhao, saw that Lin Zhao had stopped walking and was instead looking in his direction, he was first taken aback, then realized that his trail had been discovered. He stopped pretending and jumped down from the tree.

He looked at Lin Zhao with a contemptuous and mocking gaze: "Lin Zhao, I've heard so much about you."

Lin Zhao drew the Heavenly Phoenix Bone Sword and sneered, "You lackeys of the Holy Light Empire, don't bother with my nonsense."

Linghe smiled helplessly: "Your talent is undeniable, but why don't you know how to restrain yourself? Young Master Lin, there are always people more capable than you in this world. Today, let me teach you what humility is."

As soon as he finished speaking, the spiritual energy of the fifth level of enlightenment emerged, overwhelming Lin Zhao's cultivation level of the first level of enlightenment.

Lin Zhao raised his bone sword, releasing the spiritual energy he had cultivated to the first level.

What startled Linghe was that Lin Zhao's spiritual energy foundation at the first level of Enlightenment was not much inferior to his own. This meant that Lin Zhao's cultivation technique was of a higher grade than his own, so the spiritual energy he summoned was of a higher grade. In addition, Lin Zhao's cultivation had already reached the pinnacle of the first level of Enlightenment and was about to break through to the second level, and it was flawless, practically perfect.

Such profound knowledge and skills were not even present when Prince Jialan was first-level enlightened.

Reiwa suddenly understood why the Crown Prince had ordered that Lin Zhao be killed.

Offending this kind of enemy will definitely lead to endless troubles!
Fortunately, in this battle, even though the opponent was not much inferior to himself, he was still inferior.

His five levels of consecration still put him above the other party!
A long spear lay horizontally in his palm, and a cold glint flashed in Linghe's eyes. "Come and taste this spear!"

The spear, like a rainbow, pierced the silence, and where it swept, flames seemed to rise faintly in the air.

"Fire, Earth, and Metal are the three spiritual roots." Lin Zhao quickly understood the opponent's attributes from this move and swept out with the Heavenly Phoenix Bone Sword.

The tips of the spears and the blades sparked brightly as the spiritual energy attached to the weapons clashed. In the next moment, both of them took several steps back.

The difference was that Lin Zhao retreated seven steps, while Reiwa only retreated three steps.

In this initial exchange, Reiwa clearly had the upper hand, but it wasn't surprising. If someone at the fifth level of enlightenment could lose in a head-on contest of spiritual energy against someone at the first level of enlightenment, then all his efforts to reach that level were in vain.

Battles between cultivators are not just about spiritual energy cultivation!

This first collision was merely the two testing each other's strength.

After figuring out Linghe's situation, Lin Zhao curled up a sinister smile.

Reiwa also looked at Lin Zhao with a shocked expression.

How could someone at the early stage of enlightenment possess such terrifying spiritual energy, and even have physical attributes comparable to my own at the mid-stage of enlightenment?!

If such a person were allowed to enter the fifth level of enlightenment, wouldn't she be able to fight against cultivators in the later stages of enlightenment?
"Lin Zhao, it seems I can't let you live today. I thought I wouldn't need the things Miss Weiwei gave me, but I underestimated you." Linghe flipped his wrist, and a silver pill appeared in his hand. He was about to put the pill into his mouth.

A flash of blue light appeared in Lin Zhao's eyes, and the next moment, huge blue fire wings suddenly appeared behind him. By the time Ling He reacted, his wrist had already been crushed by Lin Zhao, who was right in front of him.

How could a cultivator in the Enlightenment stage possess such speed?!
This is almost comparable to the Shrinking Earth to an Inch technique used by a weaker Golden Core cultivator!

Seeing that the pills had been snatched, the hand holding the spear thrust it towards Lin Zhao's face. Lin Zhao raised his sword to block, and the sword swung out.

"Thousand Spirit Slash!"

Seeing hundreds of blue sword energies enveloping him and slashing down, Reiwa's expression changed.

"Arrogant! Don't think you can survive today just because you used despicable tricks to destroy my pill. Fine, today I'll show you true mid-stage Enlightenment Realm strength!"

After speaking, he swung his spear, and streaks of cloud patterns appeared in the arcs drawn by the spear's swing.

"Thousand-Pound Spear!"

Reiwa leaped up, gripped the gun handle, and with his cold shout, the cloud pattern returned to the gun itself, causing the entire gun to radiate a brownish-red light.

The spear tip pointed directly at Lin Zhao, and the tiny silver light at the tip seemed to carry the weight of ten thousand pounds, causing Ling He's hand holding the spear to tremble slightly.

Sixth-grade spiritual skill, Thousand-Pound Spear!

A single, cold spear flashes with silver light, its immense power soaring high.

This is a spiritual technique that relies purely on extreme power to increase pressure on the opponent.

To master the technique, one must not only comprehend the essence of the spear but also be able to concentrate spiritual energy at a single point in order to unleash the full power of the Thousand-Pound Spear on that one point, inflicting penetrating damage on the opponent.

The Reiwa era was quite confident in using this move.

Although he had only mastered 60% of his Thousand-Pound Spear technique, it still possessed the power of 6,000 jin. If he struck Lin Zhao with that force, Lin Zhao would be crippled if not killed!
