The battle wasn't over yet. Beiming Han channeled his inner energy to shatter the spirit formation trapping him, and he finally emerged from the swamp and quicksand.
He then unleashed a punch towards the two moons above Ling Qingxue's head, attempting to shatter them.
But he missed...
"Damn it, my little sister has also locked my spiritual power at the Fourth Rank! I can't even see through the 'Tears of the Azure Moon' formation anymore!!"
Beiming Han was at a loss.
He could shatter the spirit formation with pure physical strength, but if he couldn't even find its core, he was at a significant disadvantage.
Bang—!
As he pondered how to break the formation, a spiritual spike struck from behind, hitting Beiming Han's consciousness and causing him to lose focus for a moment.
Wu Liang, seeing this, unleashed a series of punches, sending Beiming Han flying several meters. After dealing with him, he then disappeared into the illusion formation set up by Ling Qingxue.Â
Beiming Han's face darkened. This duo with Ling Qingxue was incredibly troublesome, especially since he had previously disdained the methods of Spiritual Masters. However, with his spiritual power sealed, he was completely at a disadvantage against Ling Qingxue, a genius Spiritual Master.
The crescent moon in the sky continued to slash, its chilling aura spreading across the three-inch area.
At the same time, the aura of a Third Rank mid-stage spiritual power manifested.
She had broken through! Her Spiritual Master level had broken through to the Third Rank mid-stage, and her spiritual power had increased to another level!
Even the two moons overhead seemed to brighten slightly.
Beiming Han pounded the ground with his fist. "I really don't like to fight Spiritual Masters, it's so annoying!"
He couldn't hit them and couldn't guess their cunning intentions.
"No, if this continues, I'll lose all face. I must end this battle immediately!"
The pressure of his vital energy surged again, and the air suddenly seemed to grow heavy.
Ling Qingxue's fingers changed hand seals, her eyes filled with a cold light.
"Four Spirits Annihilation!!"
The phantoms of four divine beasts emerged from the void, roaring in unison at Beiming Han, their power overwhelming!
Beiming Yan frowned slightly, her eyes filled with confusion.
"That's not right. Isn't the Four Spirits Annihilation Formation a mid-grade basic formation? Setting it up once will consume almost all of Sister Ling's spiritual energy and overtax her. She's already set up several large-scale spirit formations. How could she possibly set this one up too?!"
Other students with lower levels as Spiritual Masters shared the same expression.
"Yeah, even for a Fourth Rank early-stage Spiritual Master, it's very difficult. Is she cheating?"
"Could it be that Sister Ling took a pill to replenish her spiritual energy halfway through?"
"Bullshit! I watched Sister Ling the whole time. She certainly didn't do that!"
A smile flickered in Beiming Lengyue's eyes. She had already seen through Qingxue's intentions.
"Aunt, can you explain?" Beiming Yan asked curiously.
"Just learn from her."
On the stage, Beiming Han faced the illusory images of the four divine beasts, his energy surging as he unleashed a barrage of punches to shatter them.
The illusory images of the four divine beasts shattered like fleeting bubbles, or rather... they were fake from the start!
A long Dragon Sword Energy shot from behind, striking Beiming Han squarely in the back with a clang.
Wu Liang also launched a sneak attack, slapping him with his paw.
This blow startled Beiming Han. Fortunately, his body was strong enough that even a strike from the Autumn Water Dragon wouldn't injure him, but Wu Liang's slap was powerful and heavy, causing him to tremble slightly.
Ling Qingxue's strength was far inferior to Wu Liang's. She couldn't harm him at all, but the danger Wu Liang posed was undeniable!
"Damn it! You tricked me into wasting my vital force with a fake spirit formation, but do you think you can exhaust my energy?!"
Then, countless long, flowing Autumn Water Dragons began to shoot towards him.
From all directions, or rather, from every angle, countless dragons appeared, their numbers beyond counting.
Beiming Han's scalp tingled; he couldn't believe it.
His vital energy surged again, nearly crushing the surrounding space.
The countless Autumn Water Dragons transformed into flying petals and fell to the ground, but... they were fake again!
Beiming Han was so angry he wanted to curse.
If it weren't for his great admiration for Ling Qingxue, he would have hung her and Wu Liang at the school gate and beaten them 361 times today!
What was the difference between this and the dirty tricks Beiming Yan played? Was their fighting all about deception?!
They had already tricked him twice, wasting a considerable amount of his vital energy.
"What on earth is she trying to do?"
Beiming Han was increasingly puzzled. He, who had once looked down on Spiritual Masters, was now finding them surprisingly difficult to deal with.
Another barrage of Autumn Water Dragons shot towards him.
This time, Beiming Han simply didn't defend himself, letting Ling Qingxue do her tricks as she pleased.
Well, he just wouldn't fall for it!
The next moment, he felt a heavy blow to his forehead.
Clang!
An Autumn Water Dragon struck him squarely between the eyes, but by the time he could make out the figure clearly, the dragon had transformed into Wu Liang, whose slap had made his head jerk slightly to the side.
Everything else was fake; only this was real!
If Wu Liang had been strong enough, this attack could have crushed his skull!!
"Damn it!!"
Beiming Han began to panic. The attacks were a mix of real and feints; with his current Fourth Rank mid-stage spiritual power, he was completely unable to grasp Ling Qingxue and Wu Liang's tactics.
To those below, it looked as if Ling Qingxue and Wu Liang were teaching him a lesson!
How could he possibly tolerate this?
The next moment, Ling Qingxue appeared in a corner of the fighting arena.
Seeing this, Beiming Han immediately attacked her.
Ling Qingxue took the blow head-on and retreated dozens of steps, her face turning pale.
Beiming Han smirked. "Out of spiritual energy? Have you run out of tricks? Is today's martial arts instruction finally over?!"
He threw another punch, which Ling Qingxue dodged.
She then reappeared behind him.
Beiming Han unleashed his aura, preparing to end the fight with this one strike.
A punch was thrown, sending shockwaves.
Bang!
Fist met palm. Ling Qingxue had caught it!!
A Third Rank mid-stage Physical Cultivator caught Beiming Han's punch without retreating an inch??
"What the hell?! How could a little girl like you possibly catch that?!" Beiming Han exclaimed in astonishment.
"You idiot brother, it's because you were hitting me!"
The vast illusion surrounding them gradually dissipated, leaving only Ling Qingxue and Wu Liang on her shoulder on the martial arts stage. Beiming Han, her opponent, was... below the stage.
And the person who had caught his punch was none other than... Beiming Lengyue!
At this moment, Beiming Lengyue's face was dark, her beautiful eyes throwing ice daggers. A tremendous force erupted from her palm, blasting Beiming Han back.
Beiming Han slapped his thigh in anger.
"Damn it, I was actually fooled by an illusion!"
He'd intended to give a martial arts demonstration, but he ended up getting tricked!!
Seeing the confused looks on many faces, Beiming Lengyue began to explain.
"To be honest, even I was surprised that someone thought of winning this martial arts duel in this way.
In everyone's eyes, no one present was a match for the sealed King Rank Physical Cultivation instructor. The only way to win was to knock him off the dueling platform!
Many considered this to be almost impossible; a King Rank body is nearly impossible to defeat. Even if Taotie fought back, he couldn't have been knocked off the platform.
Therefore, Qingxue changed her strategy... to let your Director Han walk off the platform himself!
The previous setup included several illusory formations, with only "Autumn Water Without A Trace" being a genuine offensive spirit formation. Even some of the students below the stage were caught within the illusory formations, which is precisely why the combat platform began to expand within this configuration.
By using countless illusions, coupled with the Taotie's attacks, she enraged her opponent, causing a crack in his psychological defenses and forcing him to quickly end the fight. This step succeeded, and Qingxue's plan was more than half accomplished.
Next came the acting, making her opponent believe that her spiritual energy was exhausted, leaving her only able to fight physically, and even using injuries to increase the realism. After two such instances, her opponent has completely fallen for it.
At the last moment, the illusion reached its peak, transforming me, standing below the stage, into Qingxue. In this way, Director Han was also fooled and walked off the stage.
It can be said that your Director Han gave you a perfect lesson in what not to do!"
