Chapter 457 - The Stargod Sword Versus the Spectral Sword

Before Long Chen’s very eyes appeared a golden dragon claw multitudes larger than his own . Each and every one of its scales sparkled with regal might as it smashed down . The instant their claws touched, an intense tremble ran down his spine and his soul power scattered apart .  

The entire Imperial Sun Moon Academy was speechless . Their champion, the Holy Radiant Dragon Long Chen who ranked tenth on the Genius Youths Rankings, was smashed into the ground face first!

Tang Wulin landed beside him a moment later . He had stopped short of using his claw’s crushing effect . That would have been overkill . With this, the Holy Radiant Dragon Long Chen was defeated .  

The entire arena was silent . Even without the soundproof barrier, it was so quiet that you could have heard a pin drop .  

No one had expected to witness such a scene . After all, Long Chen was tenth on the Genius Youths Rankings! He was a Soul Ancestor with the Holy Radiant Dragon martial soul! Yet he had be thoroughly defeated in a single clash! 

The entire exchange had happened in the blink of an eye . Long Chen had frozen just before they were about to crash, leaving himself wide open to Tang Wulin’s claw attack .  

It had been a textbook example of restricting movements while mid-air! Except, this was normally something only mechas were capable of .  

The Imperial Sun Moon Academy’s team had five people remaining, and they were all gaping at Tang Wulin . The couldn’t comprehend what they just saw . Tang Wulin had swatted down their almighty captain like a fly, and done it with ease . He hadn’t displayed any sort of overwhelming power when he defeated Long Chen . They couldn’t accept something like this! 

You Dingqi snarled . He swung his Meteor Hammer over his head by the chain a few times, then threw it at Tang Wulin like a flail .  

Tang Wulin kicked Long Chen’s limp body off the stage to avoid any collateral damage . Once a soul master lost consciousness, their martial soul would disappear, along with the empowering effects .  

Jian Mochen moved at the same time as You Dingqi . He hefted up his round shield and threw it at Tang Wulin .  

Kuang Zhantian let out a battle cry as she attacked too, wielding a greataxe that was engraved with a tiger pattern . It was her martial soul .  

Tang Wulin faced them and waited . He raised his hands, his left curled into a fist and his right in its claw form .  

He punched the Meteor Hammer with his left hand, sending it flying back with a boom without moving back an inch . Then he grabbed the shield flying at him with his claw . The instant he touched it, the tiger emblem suddenly lit up began vibrating . A tiger burst out of the shield, biting at Tang Wulin’s face .

Is that his spirit soul? So he hid it inside his shield .  Tang Wulin was unfazed .  

Kuang Zhantian arrived at that instant, descending on Tang Wulin her greataxe raised high above her head . She let out a barbaric cry as she chopped down, the power behind her strike frightening .  

But Tang Wulin ignored her . Focusing on the shield in his hand, he forced his blood essence to surge in reverse and drew forth the power of Golden Dragon Shocks the Heavens! 

A draconic roar far mightier than Long Chen’s rumbled through the arena . Before the tiger could reach Tang Wulin, it was struck dumb and retreated back into the shield in fear . Tang Wulin tightened his grip on the shield, exerting his claw’s crushing effect on it .

Cracks ran through Jian Mochen’s Skytiger Shield . Seeing this, Jian Mochen immediately used his third soul skill . The shield suddenly disappeared from Tang Wulin’s claw and returned to Jian Mochen .  

Kuang Zhantian’s greataxe was upon Tang Wulin now .  

A metallic clang rang out as Kuang Zhantian’s greataxe was blocked by something and she was beaten back . Ye Xinglan stood between them . She had stepped in to defend her captain . After all, Tang Wulin wasn’t facing them all alone! 

Kuang Zhantian and You Dingqi retreated to regroup with their teammates . None of them made a move, all of their expressions clouded over .  

In the opening clash, their team captain was eliminated . They were now at a disadvantage of five versus six . They still couldn’t believe this happened .  

Xue Liushuang glanced at her teammates . “I’ll act as the substitute captain . Be careful everyone . ” 

Tang Wulin regrouped with his comrades as well . Both teams stared each other down .  

Xie Xie smirked . “And I thought they were supposed to be strong . They’re all bark and no bite!” he said, deliberately raising his voice so the opposing team could hear .  

Xie Xie knew that his captain was the ultimate weapon against dragon-type martial souls . His bloodline could suppress any and all dragons .  

If Long Chen had been prepared for the mental shock of facing Tang Wulin, with his superior cultivation level, he wouldn’t have been so easily defeated . Of course, no one would expect that a peak-level martial soul like the Holy Radiant Dragon could be suppressed . He had been caught completely off guard, opening himself to be instantly eliminated .  

As Tang Wulin stared down his opponents, he couldn’t help but harbor some approval of their actions . Despite their captain being eliminated, they didn’t rashly attack, instead regrouping and remaining calm . It was an impressive show of discipline . They still had two Soul Ancestors left as well . The match was far from over .  

Jian Mochen still stared at Tang Wulin in disbelief . His martial soul was special in that it combined both attack and defense into the same thing . His shield also acted as a lethal weapon, and when combined with his spirit soul and Shield Return soul skill, he could easily switch between defense and attack at a moment’s notice .  

Although Tang Wulin had punched back the Meteor Hammer easily, he was still impressed by its strength . It possessed a shock effect and had caused even his body empowered by Golden Dragon Body to tremble . His left hand ached a bit after receiving that attack . He hadn’t come out completely unscathed .  

Tang Wulin turned his eyes to Kuang Zhantian .  She’s nothing like a girl, she’s a berserker! That axe is huge! It’s taller than her! If Ye Xinglan hadn’t intervened, Tang Wulin would have been in a tough spot .  

They were lucky to be able to take out Long Chen immediately, but Tang Wulin wasn’t so naive as to think that victory was theirs now . Nothing was certain until everything was over .  

Tang Wulin grew taut as a bowstring . Then, as if releasing all that energy at once, he shot ahead! 

With Long Chen out of the battle, Tang Wulin could charge straight in . He planned on breaking their formation so that his companions could clean up the resulting mess . While they had been regrouping, Xu Lizhi had passed Tang Wulin a bean bun . Tang Wulin was ready to enter bloodthirst mode .  

Jian Mochen took up Long Chen’s position as the vanguard with Xue Liushang right beside him .

Xue Liushuang held out her hand . A pure white sword manifested in it, releasing a chilling breeze that blew through the arena and cooled the surrounding temperature significantly .  

Woah . Her martial soul is similar to Teacher Wu’s Skyfrost Sword! Tang Wulin was on alert now .  

Xue Liushuang charged forward to meet Tang Wulin .  

While Tang Wulin barreled onward like a bulldozer, Xue Liushuang advanced with elegance . Her Glacial Sword danced in the air as she unleashed a barrage of frost beams at Tang Wulin while they were still a dozen meters apart .  

Tang Wulin thrust out his right claw to meet those frost beams . They shattered with a brittle sound upon impact, but a wave of cold frost followed right behind, seeping into his body and slowing the flow of his blood essence .  

Xue Liushuang reached him at that moment . Her figure flickered, then her swords split into three, one stabbing at his head, another at his chest, and the final one to his stomach .  

“The Spectral Sword? Your opponent is me . ” The three swords were instantly routed, shattered into fragments . Ye Xinglan stood in front of Tang Wulin, staring down Xue Liushuang .  

Tang Wulin called forth the might of the Golden Dragon King and dispelled the cold from his body, then continued past Xue Liushuang . She didn’t move to stop him . Her opponent now was Ye Xinglan .  

“Stargord Sword Arts!”

“Spectral Sword Arts!”
