Chapter 186 Bloodbath Against Mu Tingying, Mu Nujiao's Strength

As the dean, Song He knew a little about Qin Xiaonan and knew that Qin Xiaonan was very strong, but he knew nothing about Mu Nujiao.

“Since we’re going to have a competition,” Songhe’s voice was steady and powerful, “then let’s stop here.” He emphasized the last four words.

His gaze swept over the two on the arena. "During the National Academy training period, personal emotions are strictly prohibited. After this battle, all grudges will be settled."

Mu Nujiao's lips curved slightly, her emerald eyes gleaming in the sunlight: "No problem."

On the other side, Mu Tingying snorted coldly, "No problem!"

As a rising star of the Mu family, she was confident enough to crush this substitute who got in through connections.

In the stands, Qin Xiaonan leaned back lazily in her chair, her fingertips tapping the armrest intermittently.

"You don't seem worried at all?" Mu Ningxue sat down next to him at some point, her icy blue eyes fixed on the arena.

Qin Xiaonan chuckled lightly: "The one who should be worried is the one on the other side."

Mu Nujiao decided to take action at this time for two reasons. Firstly, she and Qin Xiaonan had just arrived and had not provoked the other party at all, yet Mu Tingying ostracized them and said extremely nasty things. Secondly, it was because her good friend Mu Ningxue's spot had been taken by Mu Tingying, and she wanted to stand up for Mu Ningxue.

"start!"

As the referee's shout broke the silence of the training field, a cold glint flashed in Mu Tingying's eyes, and she took the initiative to attack.

Her slender fingers moved swiftly like butterflies flitting among flowers, and a complete ice-based star map was sketched out in an instant.

"Ice Lock - Ice Chains!"

"Crack, crack—" Dozens of ice chains, each as thick as a bowl, burst forth from the ground of the arena. Each chain was covered with sharp ice crystals, which reflected a dazzling cold light in the sunlight.

These chains, carrying a chilling aura, coiled around Mu Nujiao.

The moisture in the air instantly condensed into fine frost flowers, and the temperature of the arena plummeted to below zero.

Faced with this overwhelming offensive, Mu Nujiao didn't even flinch.

She gracefully raised her right hand, her slender fingers drawing an emerald arc in the air. A warm green light rippled from her fingertips, forming a soft halo around her.

"laugh--"

An amazing scene appeared.

The surging ice chains melted with a sound the moment they came into contact with the green light.

The ice crystals on the surface of the chains vaporized at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the thick chains quickly shrank and thinned, eventually turning into a puddle of clear water that seeped into the cracks in the arena.

"What?!" Mu Tingying's pupils shrank suddenly.

She quickly changed her hand gestures, and the ice star map was redrawn beneath her feet, this time with an even more dazzling light than before.

"Ice Lock - Bone Crusher!"

The newly formed ice chains are covered with jagged ice spikes. These chains are no longer simply wrapped around each other, but sweep across the air with a piercing sound, like battering rams.

If this attack hits, even granite would probably be crushed into dust.

Mu Nujiao remained composed.

She slightly bent her knees, raised her right palm upwards, and a crystal-clear jade leaf slowly took shape at her fingertips. Suddenly, the leaf burst forth with dazzling light.

"Rustling sound—"

Countless tiny seeds burst forth from the leaves, tracing green trails in the air.

These seeds sprout and grow instantly upon landing, with delicate shoots sprouting branches and leaves at an astonishing speed.

In the blink of an eye, a green barrier composed of vines, thorns and broad-leaved plants rose from the ground, the dense leaves rustling in the wind, as if mocking the futility of the ice chains.

"boom!"

The ice chains collided with the plant barrier with a deafening roar. The seemingly fragile plants, far from being destroyed, seemed to come alive and actively coiled around the ice chains. The thick vines, like giant pythons strangling their prey, carved spiderweb-like cracks into the ice chains.

The broad blades, layered like shields, absorb the force of the impact.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on Mu Tingying's forehead.

She hadn't expected her attack to be so easily neutralized.

"It's time to end this."

Mu Nujiao's eyes narrowed slightly, and she finally took the initiative.

Her right hand fingers moved casually through the air, as if plucking invisible strings.

In an instant, a dozen emerald-green leaves gathered in front of her, forming a sharp fan shape. Each leaf gleamed with a cold, sharp light, and its veins flowed with a rich life force, yet concealed a deadly intent.

"Swish swish swish—!"

With a sudden flick of her wrist, the leaf shot out of the air at such a speed that it almost left a trail of afterimages, transforming into more than a dozen green streaks of light that emitted a sharp whistling sound!

Mu Tingying's pupils contracted sharply. In a haste, she crossed her hands, and an ice-based star map flashed in front of her, instantly forming a thick ice shield.

however--

"Crack!"

The blade pierced through the ice shield as easily as a knife through tofu, causing the ice crystals to shatter and scatter fragments everywhere! Mu Tingying's expression changed drastically, and she hurriedly pulled out an exquisite silver shield magic tool from her bosom. This was a life-saving item bestowed upon her by her family, which was said to be able to withstand the full force of a commander-level demon!
"boom!"

The first leaf struck the magical artifact, causing a tremor of silver light, and a crack was actually carved into its surface! Then, the second, the third... followed in quick succession!
"Crack—Boom!"

To everyone's astonishment, the magical artifact that was powerful enough to withstand an attack from a commander-level being was actually pierced through!

"ah--!"

A piercing scream echoed across the training ground. Mu Tingying staggered backward, her clothes torn with more than a dozen neat rips, the fabric rolled up to reveal blood seeping from her skin.

The most lethal leaf pierced her left shoulder blade, drawing out a burst of dazzling blood!
"Tick tock...tick tock..."

Blood dripped down her arm, quickly staining half of her clothes red. The dark red bloodstains spread across her white uniform, a shocking sight.

Her legs went weak, and she collapsed to the ground. Her carefully applied lip gloss was now mottled and stained, and her face was ashen white.

The entire training ground was deathly silent.

Everyone stared at this scene with wide eyes and disbelief.

"That magical artifact...?"

"It was actually pierced by just a few leaves?!"

"High-level...she's already a high-level mage, and not just any high-level mage," Nan Jue said from the side.

"Her control over plant-based magic is simply terrifying!"

After this period of cultivation, Mu Nujiao is no longer the same as before.

The cultivation resources she used came from the legendary Emperor-level demon, the Jade Tree! Her cultivation speed increased by leaps and bounds.

Moreover, Qin Xiaonan also used Soraka's power to help her nurture the Milky Way without suffering any backlash from the power.

Mu Nujiao slowly stepped forward, looking down at Mu Tingying who had fallen to the ground. Her eyes were calm, but they carried an undeniable pressure.

"Now, do you understand the difference?"

Her voice was soft, yet it struck like a heavy hammer, hitting the hearts of every substitute member who had just looked down on her.
