Nine Revolutions Star Transformation-Chapter 34

"Hehe, finally using martial skills. But this martial skill is not bad. It can actually produce real flames," Lin Feng said in surprise.

"Country bumpkin, haven’t seen this before, yet you claim to be from one of the five great families. It’s a disgrace that you’re even standing on this stage!" mocked the person beside Chu Linfeng.

Someone actually said this about him, and Chu Linfeng could only laugh inwardly. It had been a while since he had felt such ridicule. Who was this guy?

Before Chu Linfeng could respond, Chu Linyue beside him said angrily, "Who do you think you are, daring to talk about someone from the Chu family. Just wait, and I’ll deal with you later!"

Chu Linyue’s fiery temper was something Chu Linfeng was familiar with. He’d rather go without food for three days than offend this tigress.

Unexpectedly, today this tigress was standing up for him. "Lin Yue, well done!" Lin Feng laughed.

"Chu Linyue, you foul-mouthed woman, do you think you can run your mouth in front of me? Wait, and I’ll teach you a lesson. You’ll see that some people aren’t to be insulted!" The young man completely dismissed Chu Linyue.

Chu Linyue was rarely insulted like this, called a foul-mouthed woman. Just as she was about to explode, Chu Linfeng stopped her.

"No need to stoop to this mad dog’s level. If a dog bites you, you don’t bite back, right? There’ll be a chance to teach him a lesson." His voice wasn’t loud, but it clearly reached the other’s ears.

"Hehe, Lin Feng, you sure have a way with words! His number is eight and matches up with mine. I’ll vent Lin Yue’s anger for her!" Lin Ruoxi said with a smile.

The young man’s face turned livid with rage. If this weren’t the arena, he might not have been able to resist taking action.

At this time, the competition between Gongsun Hong and that disciple also reached a fever pitch, with both starting to use martial skills.

Gongsun Hong’s Blazing Flame Slash was quite powerful. Even from a distance, Chu Linfeng could feel the heat, indicating that Gongsun Hong’s strength was not low, at least at the sixth layer of the Black Tortoise Realm.

Meanwhile, the disciple, although using a folding fan, was able to withstand Gongsun Hong’s fierce attacks, evidently wielding a spiritual artifact of at least Spirit Tier Middle Grade.

The martial skill he performed was peculiar, akin to a dance, with the folding fan swaying slowly in front of him, and his footsteps rhythmically circling the stage.

If this weren’t a competition, just watching the disciple’s movements might make one think he was dancing beautifully.

Lin Feng watched as each of Gongsun Hong’s martial skill attacks was intercepted, or rather, stopped half a foot before the disciple.

"Lin Feng, that kid’s martial skill is extremely special, a defensive type that can form an energy wall outside the body, capable of blocking attacks from those a level above him," Sword Spirit Yue’er echoed in Chu Linfeng’s mind.

"A defensive martial skill? No wonder Gongsun Hong’s attacks are always blocked. I didn’t expect such a martial skill to exist. How interesting!"

"But this defensive martial skill also consumes a lot of Star Power, and after enduring three more attacks, it will break for sure," Sword Spirit Yue’er said confidently.

"Where there are advantages, there are disadvantages. But surely Gongsun Hong’s continuous martial skills have nearly exhausted his Star Power, right?"

Just as Lin Feng finished speaking, Gongsun Hong’s Blazing Flame Slash struck again, forcing the opponent back a few steps.

It was the first time in several attacks that Gongsun Hong had managed to force the opponent back. He laughed, "Your Star Power must be nearly depleted. Let’s see if you can withstand this move."

With that, he turned the blade and leapt into the air. "Try my Skybound Frenzy Slash!"

The entire blade in Gongsun Hong’s hand emitted a dazzling crimson light, with a foot-long blade aura swiftly striking at the disciple.

The disciple’s face showed a hint of panic as he yelled, "Fan Dance in the Clouds!"

The folding fan in his hand also emitted a brilliant blue light, the result of Star Power being infused within.

Countless fan shadows appeared around him, enveloping him tightly. This was perhaps his strongest defensive move.

Chu Linfeng was secretly shocked in his heart. The Star Power of these two individuals was so vast that it seemed to exceed the range of the sixth level of the Black Tortoise Realm.

The fiery blade aura collided with the fan shadows silently, not producing a deafening sound, or perhaps no sound at all.

The fan shadows blocked Gongsun Hong’s fierce attack, while he remained mid-air, upside down, supporting his body with the entire blade.

"Fantastic! Now this is what a match between experts should be like!" Cheers erupted from the audience below.

"That kid’s defensive martial skill is quite impressive, able to block such an attack. It must be of the Profound Tier!"

"Gongsun Hong actually sparred with him for this long. What a disgrace for the Gongsun Clan!"

But at this moment, the fan shadows gradually slowed down, and Gongsun Hong’s large blade was again a bit closer to the disciple’s body.

Chu Linfeng felt a twinge of worry. "Looks like his Star Power really is running out, just as Sister Yue’er said, it will soon break. I just hope he won’t be seriously injured."

"Break for me!" Gongsun Hong shouted loudly, intensifying his grip. The veins on his arms bulged, clearly giving his all.

Victory or defeat hinged on this moment. Neither side held anything back nor considered the stronger opponents they might face in future victories.

Their eyes were fixed solely on each other, defeating the opponent was their victory.

Just then, the disciple’s fan shadows finally stopped, and Gongsun Hong’s blade struck the folding fan.

With a loud "bang," the disciple was sent flying by the powerful strike, and the folding fan fell to the ground.

The disciple was knocked five meters away, blood seeping continuously from the tiger’s mouth of the hand holding the fan, clearly cracked by the tremendous rebound force.

Red liquid dripped from the corner of his mouth, and he struggled to get up after about ten seconds, saying, "You’re stronger, I admit defeat!"

Hearing these words, Gongsun Hong smiled, though it was a strained smile. He wasn’t in much better shape, with little Star Power left in him. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

With no strength for the next round, he had no choice but to give his all for his family’s honor. He won, but it only secured him the ninth place.

The crowd erupted in enthusiastic applause for this last splendid strike.

Gongsun Hong slowly walked to the center of the stage, raising his hands high. "Gongsun Hong of the Gongsun Clan wins this match, advancing to the next round."

Sima Jingyi announced the result, then continued, "Next match, Lin Ruoxi versus Shangguan Wuwo..."
