Chapter 85

Lin Tian's words were calm, but also harsh, making Rong Xiu and the others turn pale.

"Arrogant thing!"

Hua Yongchang said coldly.

"Attack together, quickly bring him down!"

The others shouted.

All of them were senior disciples, and now being so despised and looked down upon by a mere freshman, how could they feel good?

These people all mastered high-level Body Tempering martial techniques. When they all used them together, the combined power was greater than any previous time, causing the main arena to shake.

Swords danced and spear lights fell, all pressing towards Lin Tian.

"Terrifying!"

"Seventeen high-level Body Tempering martial techniques, this..."

"Can that guy block it?"

Many spectators watched intently.

Lin Tian faced twenty-four people alone, defeating seven of them in the blink of an eye. Unconsciously, almost everyone was drawn to his figure.

On the arena, facing the overwhelming martial techniques, Lin Tian's expression was indifferent, and his body slightly crouched.

"Wind Shock Sword!"

Four cold words slipped out of his mouth.

In an instant, a piercing sword cry echoed in all directions, and the overwhelming sword light overshadowed all martial techniques. The sound of tearing continued as the martial techniques launched by Rong Xiu and the others were all shattered by this one sword.

"Wind Shock Sword, the final move of the Wind Shock Sword Technique? How is this possible!"

Seventeen people, most of them, changed their expressions.

Not only them, but at this moment, all the spectators below the arena were also moved.

Behind the rockery, several Inner Academy disciples narrowed their eyes.

"Wind Shock Sword, he actually learned the final move!"

"This is nine-star talent? It's too terrifying."

"This battle might have some surprises."

They stared intently at the front.

No one noticed that these powerful Inner Academy disciples' eyes were now filled with sharp light.

...

On the main arena, Lin Tian's sword shattered all martial techniques, and then his figure flickered, appearing in front of one person in an instant.

With a thud, he kicked this person in the abdomen, sending him flying.

Staring at the person flying backward, Lin Tian raised his left hand and swung a shadow punch.

"Ah!"

This person screamed, still in the air, he was hit by Lin Tian's shadow punch and fell off the main arena in a sorry state.

"Damn!"

"Mad Spear Technique!"

Rong Xiu and Hua Yongchang pressed forward together.

These two were powerful Body Tempering Ninth Heaven martial artists, and the martial techniques they cultivated were not ordinary even among high-level Body Tempering techniques, possessing formidable power.

Facing the two, Lin Tian's expression did not change.

With a flip and a turn of his long sword, Lin Tian slashed diagonally, grazing Rong Xiu's hundred-pound heavy spear.

Points of starlight were scraped off, and Rong Xiu's expression changed as he pulled back his spear and swept horizontally.

"Roar!"

Almost at the same time, Hua Yongchang's large spear pressed down, directly piercing towards Lin Tian's abdomen.

Both were Body Tempering Ninth Heaven cultivators, and their cooperation was very默契, making their attacks extremely lethal.

Lin Tian's expression was indifferent, and the Heavenly Soul Technique was running, giving him a powerful sense of perception that allowed him to keenly capture every move of the two. He saw his long sword in his right hand spin and suddenly lash out, transforming into a bolt of lightning that shot towards Hua Yongchang, the hilt striking Hua Yongchang's abdomen with a thud, sending him flying.

Then, he crouched down, avoiding a spear from behind, and swept his leg, the powerful kick landing on Rong Xiu's lower body, making Rong Xiu lose his balance and stagger backward. At the same time, Lin Tian grabbed the spear that had just passed over his head and forcefully threw it forward, sending the person behind flying towards Rong Xiu.

"Thud!"

The two collided and rolled to the side.

At this moment, Lin Tian stood up, and the long sword he had thrown at Hua Yongchang flew back due to the rebound force, which he caught in his hand, and the Destruction Sword Technique was unleashed.

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

Three more screams echoed as three people were hit by the sword qi of the Destruction Sword Technique and fell off the main arena in a sorry state, two of them rolling off and losing their eligibility to continue.

The outcome of the instant battle was clear, shocking everyone. At this moment, not only the ordinary spectators but even Mu Qing and Shi Dong changed their expressions.

"Amazing combat talent!"

Mu Qing was amazed.

From Rong Xiu and Hua Yongchang's combined attack to Lin Tian throwing his sword and hitting Hua Yongchang with the hilt; from crouching to avoid the spear behind him to sweeping Rong Xiu with a kick; from grabbing the spear and throwing the person behind to collide with Rong Xiu, to catching the flying sword and sweeping three people with the Destruction Sword Technique... This series of actions was seamless, flowing like clouds and water, as if everything was planned from the beginning!

Shi Dong smiled bitterly: "This kid is simply born for battle."

Such amazing combat talent and such elegant combat skills, even Mu Qing and Shi Dong, peak Divine Pulse Realm experts, felt inferior. When they were at Lin Tian's level, they did not have such control, whether in speed, reaction, perception, or any other aspect, they were far inferior to Lin Tian.

"This change... monster!"

Su Shu gritted her teeth.

Below the arena, all spectators were wide-eyed.

"Amazing!"

"Good!"

"Beautiful!"

Some freshmen couldn't help but shout.

Not only the freshmen, but even some senior disciples couldn't help but cheer.

Just now, Lin Tian's series of actions were too impressive, and many people's eyes lit up.

Of course, some people's faces were not so good.

"This little brat! How dare he..."

Lu Sheng's face was dark.

Zhou Hao smiled faintly: "Why rush? I said before, the more glory he has now, the more he will fall in the end. The best show is yet to come."

Hearing Zhou Hao's words, Lu Sheng's expression improved: "Young Master Zhou is right." Zhou Hao was a Divine Pulse Realm cultivator, and even with Lin Tian's strong combat talent, he was still just a Body Tempering Realm cultivator, separated by a vast gap from the Divine Pulse Realm. A single early-stage Divine Pulse Realm martial artist was not a match for a hundred Body Tempering Ninth Heaven cultivators.

...

On the main arena, Lin Tian held his long sword, his eyes cold.

He walked steadily towards the last dozen or so people, and in the process, he kicked several people who had lost their fighting ability off the main arena, all of them screaming in pain.

"Fourteen people left, let's see how long you can hold on."

Lin Tian said indifferently.

His figure flickered, and he appeared in front of one person like a shadow.

"You..."

This person's expression changed.

But in an instant, an iron fist landed on his abdomen, sending him flying with a thud.

Now, thirteen people were left.

"No way out, attack together!"

Mo Kong shouted.

As he spoke, Mo Kong unleashed the Thousand Spirit Blade Technique, the sky filled with blade light descending on Lin Tian, stronger than any previous time. Mo Kong's eyes were cold, staring straight at Lin Tian.

"Dragon Spear Technique!"

"Mad Spear Technique!"

Rong Xiu and Hua Yongchang roared, charging forward one after the other.

The Thousand Spirit Blade Technique, Dragon Spear Technique, and Mad Spear Technique were all famous high-level Body Tempering martial techniques. At this moment, the three, with their Body Tempering Ninth Heaven cultivation, unleashed their full power, bringing out the strongest versions of these techniques.

At the same time, Zhao Lin, Yang Zheng, Zhou Qi, and others also attacked Lin Tian.

Surrounded by the crowd, Lin Tian just smiled coldly.

Facing the dozen or so people, he showed no fear, not even a hint of pressure. His body flickered, and he rushed out like a bolt of lightning. With a thud, before anyone could react, a scream echoed, and someone coughed up blood, flying off the main arena with a clear footprint on his chest.

"So fast!"

This scene made everyone draw a sharp breath.

Clang! Lin Tian's long sword slashed diagonally against Rong Xiu's spear, and the Wind Shock Sword Qi suddenly burst from the sword, with silver sword qi piercing Rong Xiu's arm, causing blood to flow. As Rong Xiu pulled back his spear, Lin Tian stepped forward and kicked him hard in the chest.

With a thud, Rong Xiu fell, but quickly stood up again, supported by his spear.

"Hmm? Body Tempering Ninth Heaven martial artists are indeed tough."

Lin Tian said coldly.

These words immediately made Rong Xiu's face turn purple, extremely ugly.

However, Lin Tian did not care about him and swung his long sword again.

Clang!

Clang!

Clang!

The sounds of weapons clashing echoed around.

A moment later, another person was kicked off the main arena, falling in a sorry state.

"Ah!"

A sharp scream echoed, blood splattered, and Yang Zheng, the seventh-ranked Outer Academy disciple, was pierced through the shoulder by a sword qi, staggering and falling off the main arena, unable to get up for a long time.

Next, in a short half an hour, as the battle with Lin Tian deepened, many people became terrified. The twenty-four of them, attacking Lin Tian together, not only failed to injure him at all but were repeatedly defeated by him. Even the Body Tempering Ninth Heaven cultivators like Hua Yongchang were no match, suffering continuous injuries.

"This... too monstrous!"

"How can he be so terrifying, is he even human?!"

"Monster! Absolute monster!"

Everyone was stunned.

Fighting twenty-four people alone and achieving this, in the eyes of many martial academy disciples, this was simply inhuman!

Clang!

Clang!

Clang!

The sounds of weapons clashing echoed, and in a blink, another half an hour passed, and several more people were kicked off the main arena by Lin Tian.

"Thousand Spirit Slash!"

A cold voice echoed, and Mo Kong seized an opportunity, his long sword emitting the coldest light. The power he unleashed in an instant made all spectators change their expressions, even Mu Qing and Shi Dong far away. Most importantly, they clearly felt a strong killing intent in this attack.

Lin Tian snorted coldly and raised his long sword.

Lightning Sword!

Crack!

A crisp sound echoed, and Mo Kong's long sword was severed. At the same time, the sword qi Lin Tian slashed left a bloody hole in Mo Kong's right leg, making him fall to the main arena with a thud. Before he could stand up, Lin Tian stepped forward and kicked him hard in the left leg.

"Ah!"

Mo Kong screamed, his face contorted, unable to stand up as his legs were completely powerless.

Now, including Lin Tian, exactly four people were still standing on the main arena, the other three being Rong Xiu, Hua Yongchang, and Zhao Lin.

"This..."

"Alone against twenty-four people, and... he won."

"What a terrifying man!"

Many spectators were amazed.

Behind the rockery, the Inner Academy disciples all nodded, deeply gazing at Lin Tian's figure on the main arena.

"The Inner Academy selection ends here."

"An amazing battle!"

One of them said solemnly: "Prepare a bit, and welcome these five people: Zhou Hao, Lin Tian, Rong Xiu, Hua Yongchang, and Zhao Lin." This person was dressed in black, with an extraordinary demeanor.

On the main arena, Rong Xiu and the others were both angry and relieved. Although they did not get the ten thousand spirit coins promised by Mo Kong for not bringing Lin Tian down, although they felt some humiliation, they were still among the last four standing on the arena, about to become Inner Academy disciples and gain more cultivation resources, which was enough.

Zhao Lin even raised his hand, wiping the sweat from his forehead, with a hint of joy in his eyes. Because, under normal circumstances, the last four standing on the main arena should have been Lin Tian, Hua Yongchang, Rong Xiu, and Mo Kong, as these four were all Body Tempering Ninth Heaven, far beyond him. In a sense, he had picked up a big bargain.

Below the main arena, the middle-aged man overseeing the Inner Academy selection looked towards Mu Qing and Shi Dong. Seeing them nod, he understood and walked towards the main arena. The Inner Academy selection was over, and he would announce the results to the public.

"Great!"

Su Shu said happily.

All spectators let out a sigh of relief, waiting for the middle-aged man to announce the results.

At this moment, a sharp sword cry echoed.

On the main arena, Lin Tian held his long sword, step by step, approaching Rong Xiu and the others.

Seeing this, everyone's expressions changed.

"What is Lin Tian doing?"

"Isn't it over?"

Many people were confused.

Even the middle-aged man overseeing the Inner Academy selection was moved and stopped involuntarily.

On the main arena, Rong Xiu and the others were also moved.

"Mo Kong is down and out, so we are now four." Rong Xiu said solemnly. "The elder has already said that the last four standing on the main arena are the winners. What do you want to do?"

"That's right, the elder did say that." Lin Tian's expression was indifferent, his steps not pausing, his long sword gleaming coldly: "But, you have to be able to stay here!"
