Chapter 191: 狂刷存在感

"The second team? Heh, what a freebie! You guys can rest, I'll handle this myself and show off a little!"

Long Kun knew his teammates were all incredibly powerful, and if they acted together, his own skill wouldn't stand out. Before the fight began, he quickly gave them a few instructions.

"Don't be careless! This is a battlefield for the top ten academies' peak showdown. No team here is weak; don't underestimate them!"

Before Bai Lianxue could finish speaking, Long Kun had already charged forward, two intensely hot crimson flames coalescing in his palms.

"Heh, what's with this guy? Is he trying to fight one against five? Third Prince, what's your command?"

The tall young man in golden armor, who was leading them, sneered, "Give him a taste of his own medicine. Let him clearly see who his opponents are!"

The leader of Xuanyuan's second team was the Third Prince of the Xuanyuan Empire, possessing a mid-stage Cavern Realm cultivation. Although his cultivation level wasn't exceptionally high, the Xuanyuan Empire was renowned for its incredibly refined team combat coordination. Long Kun, the rash youth, had no idea what formidable opponents stood before him.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Four figures instantly vanished behind him, and a silent, oppressive aura quietly descended through the air.

"This isn't good!"

Long Kun instinctively sensed danger. The moment he halted, the Profound Tortoise protective aura instantly materialized around him.

Boom!

Almost simultaneously, an incredibly powerful aura of killing intent instantly enveloped him completely. Four vital points on his body were simultaneously locked by the immense kicking force from his opponents' four feet.

Without a doubt, if Long Kun hadn't been protected by the Profound Tortoise cultivation technique, he would have been crippled by now.

"Such ferocious speed! My eyes can't even discern their movements!"

A chill ran down Long Kun's spine as he was startled, realizing that this power had far surpassed his expectations.

"Indeed, none of the teams here are pushovers. Even the second team possesses astonishing strength!"

Ling Qingshu and the others also instinctively became more vigilant. They could tell that the intensity of the competition here was incomparable to anything at Saint Soul Academy. Everyone who had come here was among the top figures of the younger generation from the Three Thousand Dao States.

Boom!

Long Kun suddenly thrust his large belly forward, unleashing the vast, ocean-like aura within him outwards, temporarily repelling the four opponents. He cast aside his earlier contempt for his opponents, and his expression turned serious once more.

At that very moment, the Third Prince also made his move. As he leaped into the air, a faint, sharp sword energy emanated from around his right leg.

"That's... a Sword Bone!" Ling Yao exclaimed in shock.

A "Sword Bone" refers to a unique talent cherished by sword cultivators as an invaluable treasure. It is often a special bone naturally present from birth, allowing individuals to unleash spiritual energy attacks comparable to formidable sword auras by leveraging their unique bone structure during later sword cultivation.

And it was evident that the incredibly pure and potent sword qi emanating from the Third Prince's right leg originated from an innate Sword Bone.

Long Kun snorted coldly, reinforcing his Profound Tortoise Aura several times. He then unleashed a powerful punch, directly meeting the Third Prince's force head-on.

"I'd like to see which is harder: your leg or my fist."

Boom! The powerful explosive force detonated in mid-air, and the shockwave caused spectators from all directions to widen their eyes in astonishment.

"These two possess incredibly profound foundations, especially this young man from the Yuanyang Empire! His physical toughness is truly terrifying; to be able to directly withstand the Xuanyuan Empire's Third Prince's innate Sword Bone is truly remarkable!"

As everyone was still lost in their astonished exclamations, the five opponents regrouped and launched a coordinated encirclement attack on Long Kun.

"Young man, you possess great strength, but your contempt for us has sealed your fate today!"

A cold glint flashed in the Third Prince's eyes as the "Xuanyuan Seven Severing Kill" formation, a five-in-one technique, descended upon Long Kun!

"Oh no, danger!"

Bai Lianxue cried out in alarm, ready to join the fray with the four people behind her, but realized it was already too late. The Xuanyuan Empire's second team demonstrated incredibly intricate coordination. Two members continuously rotated at high speed around the periphery, forming a complete sealing barrier of spiritual energy.

The two on the flanks applied a body-locking technique on Long Kun. Two streaks of purplish-black sword light materialized out of thin air, suspending Long Kun in mid-air.

Meanwhile, the Third Prince, with hands clasped in a mudra, condensed and unleashed an incredibly transparent and sharp sword energy.

"Now, taste true torment!"

Whoosh!

The sword's edge was incredibly fierce; the power of this single strike was enough to threaten even peak Cavern Realm experts. Any ordinary cultivator below the Primordial Spirit Realm would have absolutely no chance of survival within such a five-in-one killing formation.

Of course, this sparring session had clear regulations: malicious killing of an opponent was forbidden, and doing so would result in immediate disqualification from the competition.

The Third Prince of the Xuanyuan Empire had no intention of actually killing Long Kun, but severely wounding him and crippling his cultivation foundation was well within his capabilities.

Boom!

In an instant, the terrifying sword strike lunged towards Long Kun's chest. Behind him, Bai Lianxue and her teammates all showed anxious expressions. Only Xu Yang, standing beside Yuan Haotian, remained completely calm, showing no concern for Long Kun whatsoever.

"Your Excellency, do you think Long Kun will..."

Yuan Haotian was clearly a little worried as well, turning his gaze towards Xu Yang in inquiry.

"Your Majesty worries too much. As long as Long Kun doesn't wish to die, these few members of Xuanyuan Empire's second team pose no threat to him at all."

Yuan Haotian was, after all, a top-tier peak Primordial Spirit Realm expert. How could he not perceive the true power of this attack? From his perspective, if that sword strike truly landed, Long Kun would be at least half-crippled, if not dead.

However, he ultimately did not know the full extent of the amplification effects that the Silver Dragon Blood had bestowed upon these individuals.

Clang!

In that instant, as Long Kun suddenly lifted his eyes and a radiant jade-green light emanated from his pupils, his physical body instantly transformed as if into profound, indestructible iron, impervious to blades, spears, water, and fire.

"What! This... this hard?!"

The four teammates around the Third Prince were utterly stunned.

Seeing that the Third Prince's decisive strike not only failed to achieve its intended effect but also seemed unable to even penetrate the opponent's defense, it was quite a loss of face.

Emperor Xuanyuan Rulie of the Xuanyuan Empire didn't have a high regard for his third son to begin with. The Third Prince had originally hoped to distinguish himself in this martial arts competition and earn his imperial father's admiration. However, fate had him encounter Xu Yang's team, so he could only blame his own misfortune.

"Profound Tortoise Soul Quake!"

Long Kun was genuinely getting angry. Five opponents attacking him alone was intolerable for Long Kun, whose original goal was simply to make an impression.

Unbeknownst to them, he had been waiting for the exact moment his opponents unleashed their most powerful strike to launch a forceful counterattack!

He remains silent until he delivers a stunning blow!

Boom!

A greenish wave of light erupted with a thunderous roar. The inherent shockwave effect of the Profound Tortoise True Skill astonished everyone present, sending all five experts of Xuanyuan Empire's second team flying backward simultaneously.

"How is that possible!"
