Chapter 179 (1/2)

When most trainees came to themselves from the dizziness, the battle had already been over, but some kind of weird atmosphere enveloped the whole field.

Among the drillmasters including Shu Sanqi, someone looked grave; someone looked surprised; someone felt suspicious, and someone kept silent.

On the other side, no one knew when Bai Lingshi stood up already. With her dress waving in the wind and long hair fluttering, she looked into the distance with vacant eyes. A hint of bewilderment emerged on her unworldly face.

Lee Duxing was breathing deeply as if trying to ease the shock caused by what he had seen.

There was no one speaking, so the shockingly dead silence reigned everywhere.

As the trainees fixed their eyes on the battlefield, they all were astounded instantly.

Zhao Yin lay on the ground unconscious, with his body a little twisted as if he suffered kind of unimaginable pains. Besides, his cheeks were filled with panic, disappointment, and unwillingness.

Before the fight, he looked like a grand purple sun illuminating the world and releasing unstoppable momentum. But now, he looked so miserable and pitiable.

However, to each one present, he looked unspeakably dignified now, making them feel awed.

“Zhao Yin is defeated,” said someone eventually, breaking the dead silence and totally awakening everyone.

“What on earth happened just now?”

“I don’t know. I just saw stars fall down into the eternal night as terribly as the heaven and earth falls apart.”

“Me, too.”

“With the talent property of Purple Sun, Zhao Yin is defeated unexpectedly. It’s too unbelievable!”

The discussions arose, and the field was in an uproar.

Many trainees couldn’t believe it. It was really one move to decide the winner, but…they didn’t notice how Zhao Yin was defeated.

It was too shocking!

Shi Yu took a deep breath, and the way he looked at Lin Xun was a little complicated. It turned out that Lin Xun had hidden his real strength all the time.

Ning Meng burst into laughter. He felt extremely relieved and happy on knowing what scared him most didn’t happen.

Sitting back on the pillar, Bai Lingshi was contemplating with wrinkled eyebrows as if she met a puzzle.

Lee Duxing became as aloof and silent as before, but he glanced at Lin Xun in the distance from time to time. However, nobody knew what he was thinking.

“Chief, have you seen such kind of saberplay?” one drillmaster couldn’t help asking in the distance, and all the other drillmasters fixed their eyes on Shu Sanqi subconsciously.

They also wonder what kind of saberplay Lin Xun just used. Why did it have such incredible power?

Or one could say that was not what a practitioner of the Martial Realm could do.

“No.”

Shu’s reply disappointed all the other drillmasters. In the meanwhile, they felt more surprised and found Lin Xun more mysterious.

“Since there’s a winner, go and get Zhao Yin back. He’s defeated, but we can’t let him lie on the ground without dignity.”

Once Shu Sanqi gave the order, one drillmaster immediately came out and brought the unconscious Zhao Yin back.

Shu Sanqi felt relieved after making sure that Zhao Yin fell into a coma because of a severe injury without jeopardizing his life. He said while waving his hand, “The assessment continues.”

…

Zhao Yin’s failure because of just one move dropped a bomb among all the people present.

However, since the assessment still went on, many trainees who didn’t get pillars made a move with no time to sigh with emotion.

More importantly, Zhao Yin’s fiasco meant that he was sifted out completely, losing the opportunity to enter the Gang-producing Lake.

Thus, the pillar which originally belonged to him became ownerless, and the trainees would compete for it fiercely.

At the same time, the trainees who got the pillars stayed alert in case their pillars were seized by someone else.

Anyway, all the trainees re-recognized Lin Xun’s terrible power because of the earth-shaking fight just now.

At the moment, no one would want to snatch Lin’s pillar, and they even didn’t dare to approach Ning Meng.

Lin Xun relaxed a little bit because of this. He directly sat cross-legged on the pillar and carefully sensed the situation around him.

In the Demon-cloud Ridge, Lin Xun exerted all his strength to barely perform the RFS (Reaching for the Stars) twice, which was already his limit.

Over these days back from the Demon-cloud Ridge, his strength was promoted greatly under the guidance of Young Ke. Not only did he reach the mastery of the ninth level of the Martial Realm, but also the eighth spiritual star was lit up in the Sea of his Consciousness.

All these enabled him to become much more powerful in the battle; thus, he successfully defeated Zhao Yin with just one move.

Of course, the strong power of RFS played a critical role!

Lin Xun hadn’t completely mastered the essence of RFS hitherto, so he couldn’t even display one-tenth of its power. Even so, he could defeat Zhao Yin with just one move, which showed how powerful the RFS was.
