All the students watched this scene with wide eyes, a hint of curiosity growing within them.
What kind of technique is this?
The golden barrier resembled a turtle shell, showing no signs of Spiritual Energy leaking out. Yet, Chen Li and Shen Qingyue stood within it, seemingly unaffected. The golden barrier remained intact despite the fierce attacks, not even a ripple appearing on its surface.
How could this kid's defense be so terrifying?
So many people joined forces, yet they couldn't break through his defenses?
The onlookers gasped in astonishment, their mouths agape at the sight. The students who had initially attacked with great fervor were now dumbfounded. They had unleashed a barrage of strikes, believing that no matter how powerful Chen Li and Shen Qingyue were, they couldn't possibly withstand such a collective assault.
However, reality slapped them hard in the face!
This level of defense was simply more impressive than a turtle shell!
"Bro, you’re amazing!"
Shen Qingyue looked at those students whose attacks were effortlessly blocked by Chen Li. Although reluctant, she repeated what Chen Li had communicated to her telepathically.
Chen Li casually flicked his nonexistent bangs and said nonchalantly, "No big deal; their attacks can't break my defense! Just wait to pick up money with me!"
Damn it!
Hearing Chen Li's words only fueled the anger of those students further.
"Chen Li, you’re going too far!"
Just then, a cold voice emerged from the crowd: "If it weren't for you relying on your technique and only knowing how to defend, how could you possibly be our match?"
The speaker was Xiao Yunhe, a slender figure with a sinister gaze. He was filled with jealousy over the stakes that Chen Li and Shen Qingyue had gained. Yet, the fact that so many of them together couldn’t break through Chen Li's defenses only intensified his fury.
Driven by resentment, his gaze quietly fell upon Duan Tianxiao, who was watching from below the stage.
Feeling Xiao Yunhe's gaze, Duan Tianxiao subtly nodded and flicked his fingers. A nearly invisible ray of light vanished into Xiao Yunhe's body.
Suddenly, an unusual flush appeared on Xiao Yunhe's previously pale face as a violent aura erupted from within him, causing his clothes to flutter wildly.
The surrounding students were startled by this sudden turn of events, retreating in disbelief as they looked at Xiao Yunhe.
How did this guy become so strong all of a sudden? Did he break through?
Someone gasped in disbelief, but was quickly dismissed by others.
Impossible! He was clearly at the peak of the Seventh Layer of the Innate Realm before; how could he possibly break through at this moment?
As the crowd murmured among themselves, Xiao Yunhe suddenly let out a roar that echoed into the sky, filled with arrogance and defiance.
Chen Li, Shen Qingyue! I will make you spit out every last Spirit Coin you’ve swallowed!
Let’s go! Break their defenses!
Before his words faded, Xiao Yunhe's figure flickered and transformed into a shadow, charging straight at Chen Li.
Vital Energy surged at his fingertips, morphing into a gleaming long sword. On the blade, a menacing Black Flood Dragon Phantom faintly emerged, exuding a chilling aura that sent shivers down spines.
Seeing this, the other students, though puzzled, rallied to Xiao Yunhe's call and launched another attack against Chen Li and Shen Qingyue.
Xiao Yunhe's sword light quivered as the Black Flood Dragon Phantom let out a thunderous roar, transforming into a bolt of black lightning that struck once more against the Mystic Shield Barrier.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The terrifying assault rained down on the golden shield like a torrential storm, producing deafening sounds that shook the entire Training Platform violently, as if it might collapse at any moment.
Feeling the overwhelming force, Chen Li's expression changed slightly.
This power far exceeded the Eighth Layer of the Innate Realm!
Although the defensive techniques provided were formidable, if he forcibly unsealed his suppressed cultivation level, he could withstand their strike. However, doing so would undoubtedly reveal his trump card and provoke his wrath.
Thinking this, Chen Li remained calm on the surface while feigning instability.
The golden shield emitted a crisp sound as fine cracks began to appear on its surface.
Crack!
Finally, the attacking students grew excited.
Haha! It’s broken! Their defenses have shattered!
"Is that all?" Shen Qingyue's voice was cold, her gaze faintly directed at Chen Li.
Chen Li grinned and transmitted his voice, "Xiao Yue, the rest is up to you. Be gentle, don't kill them; after all, we're just here to earn some Spirit Coins."
Shen Qingyue shot him an exasperated glance and replied through their mental link, "I knew you couldn't be trusted!"
She slowly raised her delicate hand, and a hint of crimson light quietly emerged from her fair fingertips, resembling a burning star that radiated terrifying heat, distorting the air around it.
"Nine Heavens Divine Phoenix Scripture, First Form: Phoenix Dances in the Nine Heavens!"
With a soft shout from Shen Qingyue, the crimson light suddenly surged, transforming into a massive fiery phoenix apparition that let out a thunderous cry. With a powerful flap of its wings, it swept toward Xiao Yunhe and the others.
What?!
Xiao Yunhe and his companions' expressions changed drastically. They never expected that Shen Qingyue harbored such terrifying strength!
Wherever the fiery phoenix passed, it seemed as if space itself was being incinerated. The overwhelming pressure made it difficult for them to breathe.
Get away!
Xiao Yunhe shouted in panic, attempting to evade the fiery phoenix's attack, only to find his body seemingly bound by an invisible force, unable to move at all.
Boom!
The fiery phoenix surged forward with ferocity, instantly engulfing Xiao Yunhe and the others.
The terrifying explosion echoed throughout the training ground, sending a scorching wave radiating from the arena in all directions, knocking down the surrounding students who were watching.
As the dust settled, everyone finally saw the situation on the arena.
The once proud Xiao Yunhe and his group were now sprawled on the ground in disarray, covered in dirt and tattered clothing. Many bore visible burns from the fiery phoenix's assault.
How is this possible?!
Everyone stared in disbelief at this scene, waves of shock surging within them.
Especially those students who had previously mocked Chen Li and Shen Qingyue; they were now pale with fear, cold sweat pouring down their faces.
They had thought that Chen Li and Shen Qingyue were merely relying on their strong defensive techniques to barely withstand their attacks. Little did they know that Shen Qingyue concealed such terrifying power!
One strike!
Just one strike was enough to defeat them all!
Such cultivation strength was simply unheard of!
