Chapter 485: Undying Is Just Making It Harder to k*ll
In reality, the Bobapop Islands are located in the southwestern part of a certain affiliated island.
At this moment, an intense battle was taking place here, with the shockwaves of the fight rippling outward.
Even tourists on the main island curiously approached the shore to gaze across the sea; that place was an already sealed-off affiliated island, officially notified as an extraordinary event lockdown, where no ordinary person could inquire about or understand any related information in any way, or else they would have to bear the consequences.
The only thing they could do was observe from atop the main island that island which only had an outline, accompanied by terrifying roaring sounds emanating from it, while secretly resolving that their children must also be admitted to the Extraordinary Academy in the future to acquire such terrifying power.
At this moment on the island, numerous figures were fiercely clashing. The Holy Angels stood in the sky, solemnly casting divine techniques, as divine power slowly gathered and took shape under their prayers.
Under the terrifying natural power unleashed by the elves, the elf magic wove into a vast ritual array. With the chanting of the Elvish language, extraordinary energy that tore through space surged forth from the void runes. The elves in the center bore the immense energy pressure, their bodies torn apart by the terrifying energy impact, bl**d flowing from their lacerated wounds, yet their powerful undying ability allowed them to rapidly scab and heal.
“Witches are just some resources that aren’t even worth the trouble. Do they really have to escalate things to this level?”
In the high skies, the Holy Angel clad in holy light armor, with visible cracks appearing on the angelic ring due to this strike, could foresee that this would be his last opportunity to act. However, he would strive to utterly destroy the opponent’s offensive and break the current stalemate.
“This is merely fair competition. You clearly know that hitting me with this strike is difficult. Even if the elf’s spells surround me, it doesn’t necessarily mean you can k*ll me,” I retorted without hesitation, wiping a trace of bl**d from the corner of my mouth.
Surrounded by the leaves of the Great Knowledge Tree, which only I could see, countless pieces of information from the earth veins guided me through all the movements and undercurrents on this battlefield. The Knowledge Shadow processed the abundant information and data for me, allowing me to maintain control of the battle’s rhythm amidst the unpredictable besiegement.
“Your life level hasn’t even touched upon undying, and you dare to spew such words?”
“Why wouldn’t I dare? You have shown me through your actions that your strength increase is merely an accumulation of power, and your enhancement in life level has only made you harder to k*ll. So what now?” I mocked back resolutely, “You can’t even handle the opportunity given to you!”
Although this battle allowed me to witness the strength of the opponent, even the power of self-awakened body cultivation had caused some damage to my body, making me cough up bl**d, though that bl**d was merely from o*al bleeding due to the horrific impact.
But it also shattered my trepidation of the unknown strength of the senior sisters about to graduate and validated something for me… life level does not equate to combat power, but a transformative life level means a dimensionality reduction strike, and the beginning of that transformation is achieving extraordinary status, thus leading to the conclusion… beneath extraordinary, theoretically, no one should fear anyone.
From my perspective, beneath extraordinary, so-called power is merely about who can wield more force.
Of course, one cannot overlook an issue here, which is the superiority of the witch power system, giving a foundational support to my ideology.
The mockery I had just made caused a flush of shame to rush over their faces, just as a figure quietly circled around to my back, and a burst of furious vitality suddenly erupted.
“d*e for me!”
“Don’t interfere, Beast Academy!”
Regarding this assistant from the Beast Academy, also known as the Little Beast King, his stealth and hunting instincts were naturally under my control. This vitality came from the beast-like bloodline powers, belonging to a branch of body cultivation they had developed.
Though I had not yet come into contact with systemic body cultivation powers, it would be effortlessly easy for me to counter his offensive using Spirit Vision and Earth Vein Identification Technique.
“Weakness… marked.”
“Knowledge Shadow, you were a step too slow this time.” Before the Knowledge Shadow could grasp the situation, I had already reacted, and with one kick, I struck fiercely at the side of the attacking beast-man’s waist. The terrifying force surged through, causing his vitality to suddenly stagnate, and in the next moment, his head was shoved down until his vision aligned with the ground.
“Tsk~ What a strong effort~” A voice echoed beside me that only I could hear.
In an instant, the terrifying offensive from the opponent had been countered by me in another manner, delivering a crushing blow to his physical weak point, knocking him down incapacitated.
Even though this wasn’t the first time I had severely injured a Little Beast King of the Beast Academy, effortlessly retaliating in such a scenario still caused them to narrow their pupils in shock.
Yet my actions did not stop there; after all, the beasts from the Beast Academy were notorious for their tough and thick hides.
Next, I unleashed another spell that pierced through his body, pinning him to the ground. His wailing screams echoed around, while the horrific spell effects relentlessly wore down his undying condition in the most primitive manner.
Such a scene continually stimulated every person present, including those “watching the drama” at the perimeters.
Even the Holy Angels and elves, who had already completed their charging, were very wary of this.
They were utterly perplexed.
It was clear to them that the opponent’s life level was vastly inferior to their own, and the destructive power of the opponent’s magic was far from their most powerful techniques. Yet the confidence in battle and absolute mastery displayed by the opponent left them scratching their heads.
It was as if they held a good hand but unwittingly played it dismally, unable to find even a trace of superiority in their confident yet arrogant powers when faced with the opponent.
Moreover… it gave them an illusion, as if everything were akin to playing a game, where they pursued numerical superiority while studying techniques, while the opponent played with techniques while additionally mastering a sense of combat rhythm. What was worse was that the opponent wasn’t playing the numerical combats with them but rather crushing them with mechanisms.
In the end, they looked towards two other witches standing aside, making no movements but ready to intervene at any moment. They felt no confidence in engaging the opponent’s two witches in a fierce struggle for more resources after this strike.
Thus, the angels of the Holy Angel Academy were the first to make a decision.
“We represent the Holy Angel Academy in agreeing to your prior resource allocation.”
“You guys!”
Once the Holy Angel Academy’s missionary angels finally relented, the most uncomfortable ones were the elves from Aphhemia Academy, as they had jointly unleashed ancient elf magic to trap the witch before them, only to have it suddenly revoked by the one who had initially held the upper hand, feeling like clowns left out in the cold.
Though they felt reluctant, the “allies” conceding was now unavoidable, and they had no choice but to dissipate their magic.
After all, maintaining the magic’s consumption and bearing the pressure was immense, and for them to release magic of such a level required powerful undying abilities as a foundational basis. Otherwise, regular elves using such means would likely be ripped apart and d*e on the spot due to overwhelming force.
Seeing everyone compromise, Lin Yi, who was off to the side, silently stored away the summon business card in her hand. This had been my means to counter the elf’s magical effects. If I truly could not break free, at least the Reverse Summoning Spell could ensure my personal safety, for this spell could traverse between worlds even across the void.
How could these “natives,” who had not even severed the Earth Vein Shackles, possibly cast magic of such capability?
However, I also felt some disappointment in their withdrawal; seizing resources at resource points was the rare opportunity for assistants to take the initiative during this joint examination.
Battles of this level were quite rare for me and highly meaningful for testing purposes. If the opponent forcibly struck, I could seize on such pressure to renew my spells.
What was unfortunate was that this battle did not evolve into a free-for-all; it seemed that my clash with top academies had made the other academy assistants wary, leaving them to merely wait for a meager resource safety net.
Otherwise, I could have started experimenting with deriving the Spellbook Rack Spellbook or even attempted merging it into the Great Knowledge Tree.
Not to mention, I was already inspired in this regard, but this interruption had instead disrupted my follow-up thoughts.
However, stopping like this isn’t a bad conclusion; after all, my magic source only numbered in the four digits. Even though the battle had sparked the inherent talent of my self-generated magic to its limits, boosting my enduring combat abilities, in the end, I might have no choice but to let Lin Yi and Li Feiya lend a hand.
Though we might not lose in the end, I could be exhausted and unable to match the opponent, even if I knew that if I could endure this wave, they would also be at the end of their strength.
After all, the final outcome was favorable, so I had free rein in my actions.
“Xiao Han! You’re so strong~” At this moment, Li Feiya rushed over and hugged my neck, excitedly celebrating with me, the excitement and enthusiasm in her tone completely unabashed.
However, the group opposite seemed less than pleased, their faces dark as thunder.
“No, it’s just about competing for some dispensable resources. The opponent won’t exert their full effort over something trivial like this, so I’ve managed to take advantage of the situation~” I decisively pushed away Li Feiya’s arms that were wrapped around me; after all, I still felt some resistance to intimacy with anyone other than Sister Bai, even if they, like me, were girls.
“Hahaha~ Don’t be modest! I now admit! You’re better at causing trouble than I am.”
“No, you’re still being modest; you’re the best at causing trouble.” I gently declined Li Feiya’s praise.
What I was doing now with her was entirely on a different level; after all, she was someone who dared to blow up the Tree of Life for the elves.
“Alright, alright~ You didn’t see how green those elves’ faces turned; hurry up, let’s go meet up with Aidalin.”
“Yeah, that was an exciting battle, and I’ve already secured the resources, so it’s indeed time to go.” At this moment, Lin Yi was fiddling with a storage equipment, speaking to us.
She also found the previous battle quite thrilling. If she were to judge, it was a perfect display of the weak overcoming the strong and the few defeating the many. The unnatural control over the battlefield played the most crucial role, of course, her own strength also had a decisive impact.
This was Lin Yi’s evaluation; even for her, aside from being able to handle certain details more calmly, nothing else could be improved upon that foundation. Moreover, she also learned many things from watching the battle, which was what left her emotional.
After bidding farewell to the extraordinary mentors here, we quickly returned.
As extraordinary mentors, they were only responsible for providing necessary materials for the joint examination and wouldn’t partake in the struggle, while Teacher Lina from the Witch Academy was also there.
The satisfied expression on her face also revealed a hint of surprise, occasionally hearing the praises and jealous remarks from other academies’ extraordinary mentors, which Lina accepted all together.
This was also the first time Lina witnessed Xiao Han’s terrifying combat power; it seemed the recorded data from the last dream contest no longer matched at all. Even she felt shocked by this growth rate.
But it was only shock, after all; this was just combat power beneath extraordinary. It was akin to watching elementary school students fight, suddenly observing a smaller child effortlessly defeat older ones.
However, it was evident that the defeated side didn’t fight seriously; their life levels had already reached pseudo-extraordinary and brushed the boundaries of real time. If it came down to a life-and-d*ath battle, their superficial understanding of real time would still unleash more terrifying power.
But Xiao Han wasn’t a pushover, given that she possessed floating world-level Spirit Vision… Even just the advantage of one of the five senses of reality was enough to counter this transcendent power.
“Is this girl called Xiao Han? Could she be that one from the dream exchange match back then? I see her life level is quite low.”
“Of course it’s her, but she has become an assistant under the strong request of the academy head. You should be grateful for our head’s decision; otherwise, this joint examination would have been a boring crushing contest.” Lina chuckled.
“This joint examination has become somewhat twisted…”
“Has it? From start to finish, this has been a contest of fortune. Now that the farce is over, let’s focus on our main character.”
After Lina said this, all the figures vanished, leaving those from the Beast Academy to be left out in the cold, while the Sea Tribe didn’t bother showing up, as coming would just be embarrassing.
At this moment, noon.
“You’re back! Did you encounter any obstacles?”
On the main island, Aidalin awaited her comrades’ return as the most steadfast guard for the Witch Academy.
“Aidalin~ You have no idea what just happened… uhm!”
“We encountered no obstacles; the resources have been retrieved.” I quickly covered Li Feiya’s mouth and handed over the supplies first.
“Is there anything you don’t want to talk about? It’s fine; I also don’t want to know.” As Aidalin accepted the storage equipment, she likewise said with a hint of pride, “I’ll go distribute the second round of supplies and scoring; you all can take a break for now.”
“Thank you.” I nodded without refusing, then casually found a place to sit down. Having just gone through a battle, I realized I should have directly teleported back.
“Xiao Han? Are you just planning to rest here, not intending to check on how Tan Han and the others are doing?”
“Is there any need to check?” I leaned against a rock behind me, utilizing Spirit Vision to examine the deep currents of fortune fluctuations, activating the Qi Observation Technique. “Li Feiya, how about we play a fun game? Let me guess the current development situation, and if you have the energy, help me verify my guesses, okay?”
“You… really have prophetic skills?” Li Feiya covered her mouth, doubting my words. Mysticism was one of the rarest and hardest skills to learn, also heavily reliant on talent; currently, even no powerful spellbooks related to mysticism were circulating in the academy, so Li Feiya clearly understood that if Xiao Han possessed such abilities, it would certainly not be achievable through spellbooks.
“Not exactly prophetic skills; I just asked if you want to play? Or… consider it helping me out.”
“Play! Of course, I want to play! You say it, and I’ll take note and see!”
