The dragon emerges from the clouds, and the tiger descends from the wind.
With a blade that rises like a dragon or a tiger, the winds stir and the clouds surge. Before the full force is unleashed, an overwhelming and fierce momentum envelops the entire area, creating an irresistible illusion for everyone present.
Bu's expression tightened; he had not anticipated that Reuben would be so decisive, attempting to flee without engaging in battle. Moreover, he unleashed such a powerful strike right away. Even if Bu were to intercept it now using only his physical strength, it would be quite challenging. As for Arno, facing this attack head-on would likely result in severe injury.
"It's too late," Bu sighed. With his speed, if he activated his energy to enhance his movement, he could potentially reach Arno before Reuben's strike landed. However, given the circumstances, he could only hope that Arno could hold on. Fortunately, Reynold and Mu Yan had arrived just in time to offer assistance.
With a hint of anger in his heart, Bu acted without mercy, aiming for a quick resolution. The Nine Dragon Spear surged forth with tremendous force, shattering all of the Trialist's attacks with a single thrust. The sharp spear light pierced through the center of his forehead, swiftly claiming a life.
"How can he be this strong?" The other three were astonished and quickly understood why Reuben chose to flee without fighting. However, it was already too late for them to escape.
Boom!
At that moment, Reuben's and Arno's lethal moves finally collided. The massive blade descended like a landslide, its energy enveloping all directions. But as it met Arno's finger in opposition, all of the blade's energy surged forward like doves returning to their nest. The sound of slicing air echoed continuously as the dense wave of blade energy created a roar akin to rising tides.
Golden blade energy gathered like clouds illuminated by the sun at dawn, swept together by fierce winds.
This strike was earth-shattering; it represented Reuben's peak attack as an Intermediate Level 4 powerhouse. Its power could shake even ordinary Intermediate Level 5 dominators. Yet Arno, whose strength was merely at the Intermediate Level and despite being exquisite in skill, found it difficult to withstand such force.
Thunderous!
In that initial contact, Arno's palm with its Dark Blue Pattern trembled but managed to hold firm. A powerful suction erupted from his fingertips as if trying to absorb and neutralize the overwhelming blade energy. However, as more blade energies surged forth rapidly afterward, an even more intense roar erupted, threatening to tear the ground apart.
"Pfft!"
Arno's fingers quivered; the Dark Blue Pattern melted away like snow meeting early spring sunlight, losing half of its form instantly. As he coughed up blood, his figure was forced back relentlessly. In front of him, countless blade energies converged into a golden cloud that pursued him closely. The sharp energies sliced through his skin in an instant, splattering blood and flesh as if executing a cruel punishment.
"Thunder Slash!"
In a critical moment, Reynold shouted and arrived just in time, surrounded by crackling electricity and thunder. With his long purple hair flying, he resembled the Thunder God from Avatar as he swung his sword down towards the golden cloud formed by the blade's aura.
Crack!
Arcs of electricity surged, and thunder erupted from the ground. The surrounding flames were torn apart by the fierce wind, and thick smoke was blown away, all becoming a backdrop to this stunning strike. A flash of lightning, Thunderous in its speed, struck hard against the golden cloud just before it could engulf Arno completely.
The ground trembled violently. The soil, already cracked from the scorching flames, was now impacted by an immense force. Amidst the booming sound of Thunderous, it turned into dust that scattered everywhere. Flames were swept up into the air like a fire dragon rising, carrying thick smoke like a mushroom cloud.
"Get away from me!"
Reuben's eyes were blood-red, his face twisted in a terrifying snarl like a man-eating tiger. Anyone who dared to obstruct him would meet their end on the spot!
Boom!
The golden cloud of blade aura exploded violently, directly neutralizing Reynold's strike and sending him flying far away. The blade aura surged like a river, crashing into Arno's chest. Amidst the bloody chaos, Arno let out a pained groan as he was sent flying.
"You’re looking for death!" This scene unfolded suddenly. At that moment, Bu had only just killed another opponent, but seeing two companions severely injured by Reuben ignited his Fury.
"Fusing God!"
With murderous intent surging within him, Bu hesitated no longer. The immense Mental Power from his true self and Avatar merged into his body as he unleashed the Fusing God body refinement technique. Instantly, he felt his physical strength surge dramatically. He swung his gun with tremendous force, producing a sound like wailing ghosts as he moved at lightning Speed, sweeping through the two terrified Trialists.
Buzz!
The void trembled; this sudden burst of power was astonishingly strong. The sheer force of the wind it generated shattered the ground into powder. Its Speed was so fast that it was nearly impossible to see with the naked eye; even the sound of the wind followed slowly after the shot was fired.
Puff!
Two figures turned into four, and the broken sword blades shattered into iron dust flying into the air. Only two Trialists remained, who were brutally cut in half by Bu's sweeping strike. The weapon they had used to defend themselves disintegrated upon contact with Bu's attack, crumbling like paper.
With a single move to eliminate the enemy! Bu stomped on the ground, his figure shooting out towards Reuben, his long hair flowing and a chilling killing intent radiating from him. His narrow eyes resembled ancient ice, sending shivers down anyone who dared to meet his gaze.
"Run!" After knocking Arno and Reynold away, Reuben wasted no time. He unleashed his full speed and fled without looking back.
He was acutely aware of Bu's terrifying strength. Although their last encounter had been rushed, it made him realize just how monstrous Bu was. In his opinion, Bu was completely invincible among all the new students in the academy. If he hesitated now, even if he wasn't killed on the spot, he would be forced to crush the Guide Stone and be eliminated from this trial.
However, despite his good intentions, reality had a way of playing tricks on people. Before Reuben could run far, he felt a tightness around his waist. The protective energy shield surrounding him began to crackle ominously, almost shattering as if something was pulling at him. The force of the impact was so strong that it created a recoil that seemed to drag him backward.
"No!" A wave of intense fear surged through Reuben's heart as he felt the fierce wind approaching from behind. His body instinctively reacted, warning him that danger was imminent. His adrenal glands kicked into overdrive, causing cold sweat to pour down his body as if an ancient demon was chasing him, ready to take his life.
"It's over; Reuben is done for! Even if he doesn't die, he'll be eliminated. Brent is just too powerful! He killed several students of equal rank in less than ten breaths. Reuben was never his match to begin with; now in fear, he'll only fall faster!"
In the front square of Holy Light Academy, many people were intently watching the images within the cubic Light Barrier. When they saw Reuben being blocked in his advance, many shook their heads and sighed.
"Hehe, the boss truly lives up to his title; just one move and Reuben is terrified!" Kalandor exclaimed excitedly while watching this scene unfold.
Meanwhile, seated high among the Top Ten Silver Stars, Kaibo's expression darkened as he gazed at Bu within the Light Barrier with an icy glare filled with hidden malice.
Bang!
A sharp sound of metal snapping erupted. As Reuben struggled against his fear, he suddenly felt lighter; the pulling sensation vanished in an instant. After a moment of surprise, a glimmer of survival instinct ignited in his eyes. He unleashed all his energy and exerted every ounce of strength to escape without daring to confront Bu.
"Ugh!" Not far away, Mu Yan let out a muffled groan as a silver thread in her hand snapped. The resulting recoil tore her delicate hand, resembling white jade, leaving several gruesome wounds from which crimson blood seeped out, making it hard to look at.
"Come back!"
Due to Mu Yan's interference, Bu quickly closed the distance between himself and Reuben, now only three paces apart. Seeing that Reuben was about to flee again, Bu smiled but his eyes were fierce. He suddenly threw out the Nine Dragon Spear, aiming directly at Reuben's back.
At a distance of three paces, with Bu's formidable strength, the spear flew out like lightning and struck with the force of a fierce tiger, leaving no chance for evasion. If Reuben tried to escape wholeheartedly, even with an energy shield, he would be pierced through and left feeling utterly defeated. If he turned to defend himself, Bu would close the distance in an instant, making escape nearly impossible.
In the blink of an eye, Reuben made the right choice. His heart was filled with boundless fury, along with endless frustration and resentment.
Once upon a time, he never imagined being chased like a stray dog, lacking even the courage to fight back. Before encountering Bu, no one had ever made him feel so humiliated. It seemed even fate was mocking him by sending this calamity in the form of Bu to crush his pride and trample on his dignity. He did not want to be eliminated, but even more so, he did not want to die in this trial ground.
"Brent, one day I will repay you for this humiliation a thousandfold! Just wait!" With flames of anger burning within him, Reuben let out a roar. In the moment he turned around, he swept his Golden Blade across while simultaneously unleashing Flying Cloud. Without hesitation, his left hand crushed a tightly clenched Guide Stone.
Crack!
The Guide Stone shattered; it represented Reuben's pride, his once invincible belief, and his self-respect.
Faced with Bu's overwhelming strength and relentless pressure, he did not want to die. He chose to escape. The consequence of this escape was that from now on, Bu would become the greatest mental demon on his martial path. With a crack in his heart and a demon within it, even if he wanted to cultivate further, he would likely find it difficult to progress. The only way to break this mental barrier was to kill Bu and eliminate this inner demon.
