Chapter 82: Chapter 81: Defeated?

Wave after wave of impacts made him feel like he couldn't catch his breath.Meanwhile, Tang San had already quickly dodged to a distant place when the icy fog was spewed out. Although his body was still coated with a layer of frost, making his movements somewhat sluggish, the wind blade in his hand was still constantly changing.

Wind blades emerged one after another, then overlapped and compressed. At this moment, the wind blade in his hand, which seemed only about a foot wide, had completely turned dark green. It obviously contained an extremely terrifying energy inside.

The ability to control this thoroughly shocked Guan Longjiang and Mu Enqing to the point of astonishment. Tang San was only at the Fifth Stage, while Wu Bingji was at the Sixth Stage. One controlled the wind element, the other the ice element. Comparatively speaking, the ice element is more stable and easier to control, and its power is also stronger. It's good for both offense and defense. However, Tang San's control over the wind element was clearly a notch above. Especially this technique of compression, which requires an intimate understanding of the element's properties to achieve. And he wasn't just compressing once; he was continuously compressing more wind element into it.

Of course, they didn't know that under the Spirit Rhinoceros Eye, Tang San had complete control over the changes and fluctuations of the wind element. It wasn't an issue of elemental affinity but rather control due to his own powerful Spiritual Power. He was once a First-Generation God King, and his understanding of elements was not something Wu Bingji could compare with.

Upon closer inspection, one could see that Tang San's right hand holding the dark green wind blade was actually pulsating constantly, with every pulsation stabilizing the raging wind element.

When Wu Bingji neutralized eighteen wind blades, he looked somewhat disheveled. His arms were numb, and he had changed his ice spear three times. And this was still under the condition of his Ice element body and his strong control over the ice element, coupled with the astonishing defensive power of the ice attribute.

Cheng Zicheng, who was observing the battle, suddenly felt that his loss was not unjust. Even Wu Bingji, with his cultivation base, had difficulty defending against those eighteen wind blades. It was normal for him to be unable to block them! Moreover, from the current fight, it was obvious that Tang San hadn't used his full strength in their battle. His strength was on par with the Big Brother?

It was at this moment that the dark green wind blade in Tang San's hand finally moved. When it shot out from his hand, there was a slow floating sensation in the air, and even faint blue sparks flickered on the dark green wind blade. Even Mu Enqing and Guan Longjiang felt a sense of danger.

Wu Bingji's expression also became grave. Regarding this wind blade, he had no thoughts of dodging. From the skill Tang San had shown with the wind blades previously, he understood that he wouldn't be able to dodge Tang San's wind blades even if he tried.

Wu Bingji took a deep breath, and his entire body instantly turned ice blue, while on the other side, Tang San, after shooting out the wind blade, also looked visibly paler, obviously showing signs of excessive energy consumption.

A thick Ice shield condensed in front of Wu Bingji, turning ice blue in an instant and becoming stout. Then another Ice shield formed. The ice blue radiance on Wu Bingji's body continued to flash as shield after shield rapidly took shape in front of him, totaling nine, all blocking before him. It looked extremely spectacular.

Si Ru didn't know when he had appeared in the courtyard, his gaze intently fixed on the dark green wind blade flying towards the Ice shield. His eyes sparkled with light. To him, that foot-wide wind blade seemed disproportionate against the nine stacked Ice shields, yet he understood that crafting that single blade of wind was much more difficult than forming the nine shields.

To condense nine Ice shields, one only needs sufficient cultivation base. Wu Bingji, boosted by his Ice element body, was able to create them with all his might. It consumed a lot of energy, but it didn't require much skill.

But to compress such a massive wind element into a tiny wind blade, the understanding and control of the element required is frightening. Was this achieved by a child who was only nine?

Oh leader, oh leader, you really do strike first with an advantage!

The dark green wind blade finally collided with the Ice shield, "Bang——"

Almost instantly, the first Ice shield was pierced through. Then a burst of icy mist exploded, and thunderous noises echoed.

The dark green wind blade shot through the Ice shields one by one, like a hot knife through butter.

The fight had reached this point, and even the watching crowd was holding their breath, witnessing such a shocking scene.

"Bang, bang, bang!" The sixth, seventh, and eighth Ice shields each shattered. The wind blade finally hit the last Ice shield.

"Bang!" Just as everyone held their breath and Wu Bingji's face turned pale, the last ice shield was not penetrated, only a deep mark was branded into it. That highly compressed wind blade finally exhausted its last bit of wind element. It couldn't pierce through the ninth ice shield.

"I lost," Tang San said a bit breathlessly, his breathing clearly in sharp decline, a cold sweat breaking out on his forehead instantly. This was a side effect of excessive Spiritual Power consumption.

Controlling and compressing that wind blade was indeed very difficult for him, but it was also an important attempt.

Having reached the Fifth Stage in cultivation and with his Spiritual Power continuously improving because of the Spirit Rhinoceros Eye, he wanted to try some abilities that could allow him to fight beyond his level. Today's wind blade was such an attempt.

Wu Bingji was stunned for a moment and also retracted his Ice element body. Although his recovery ability was strong under the effect of the Ice element body, casting nine consecutive ice shields had nearly drained him of his strength.

Wu Bingji looked at Tang San with somewhat complex eyes. He didn't say anything, just nodded to him.

Tang San responded with a smile.

"Sigh—" It wasn't until this moment that people finally let out a breath. For a while, aside from the sound of breathing, the yard was eerily quiet.

No one spoke.

When Tang San defeated Cheng Zicheng, the students did not have a particularly strong reaction. However, this battle where he faced the eldest brother, the strongest disciple of Redemption Academy, and pushed Wu Bingji to this extent, was shocking. And remember, Tang San was only at the Fifth Stage and was just nine years old! Wu Bingji was almost seventeen. So, what level of strength could Tang San reach by the time he was thirty-six or thirty-seven years old?

Si Ru slowly walked over from the side, and it was seeing him that Guan Longjiang and Mu Enqing came back to their senses.

Si Ru came to Wu Bingji's side and said, "Do you know where the gap between you and him lies?"

Wu Bingji smiled bitterly and nodded, "In control, in the control over elements, Xiao Tang is much stronger than me."

Si Ru nodded and said, "The difference in Spiritual Power and the comprehension of elements, you are not as good as him. He was able to cultivate the wind blade to such an extent, although I don't know how he did it. But in terms of element control, you should ask him for advice in the future. If you can improve your element control to his level, it's possible for you to reach the Seventh Stage in the future."

"Yes," Wu Bingji nodded, then looked towards Tang San, "I hope junior brother can enlighten me."

"Eldest senior brother is too kind. I would also like to exchange insights with you," Tang San replied, very interested in Wu Bingji's Ice element body. He did not know whether it was innate from the Demon God Transformation or if he had cultivated it later on.

The practical battle was over, and Tang San's performance had undoubtedly drawn admiring second looks. The teachers' eyes showed subtle shifts as they watched him. Now it was time for Mu Enqing's summation.

All the students lined up in a row, with Mu Enqing stepping forward, his gaze sweeping across everyone.

"Let's discuss each battle individually. First fight, Tang San versus Cheng Zicheng. Cheng Zicheng lost quickly, which primarily resulted from a gap in strength. Secondly, Cheng Zicheng, you did not bring your advantages to bear before losing. In contrast, Tang San immediately thought of countering your advantage of flight and didn't give you a real chance to take off. Once you were airborne, with the speed of the Golden Peng Transformation, even if you couldn't beat him, you should have been able to engage him in combat. So, when facing an opponent like him, your first thought should be how to take off."
