"Are we not even qualified to fight you?" Hu Yanli asked, looking unconvinced.
"That's right! Although we are only Spirit Elders, our strength is not weaker than ordinary Spirit Ancestors!"
A large group of strong students from the Five Elemental Academies present all spoke out, unconvinced.
The Five Elemental Academies are all top-tier advanced Spirit Master academies on the continent. The minimum admission standard is said to be very high, requiring spirit power to reach level 18 or above before the age of 13.
Therefore, those who can become outstanding individuals in the Five Elemental Academies are basically considered genius Spirit Masters on the continent.
These genius Spirit Masters are stronger than ordinary Spirit Masters outside, whether in combat experience, skills, Spirit, Spirit Ability, or spirit ring. Compared to ordinary Spirit Elders and Spirit Ancestors outside, they can indeed challenge higher levels.
However, in Lin Yu's eyes, even these genius-level individuals are small fries that can be instantly defeated.
But before Lin Yu could speak, Feng Xiaotian retorted!
"You people are indeed not qualified to challenge Lin Yu!" Feng Xiaotian stared at Lin Yu with a serious expression, then said solemnly to everyone present: "Genius! Is merely the threshold to stand before Lin Yu!"
"And only true geniuses! Are qualified to challenge Lin Yu!"
...
"Has my standing in his heart already become this high?" Lin Yu couldn't help but glance at Feng Xiaotian again.
This statement was a bit too boastful, but if taken seriously, what Feng Xiaotian said was not wrong.
"Lin Yu, you might think they are not qualified to fight you, but I, Feng Xiaotian, surely am qualified, right? I am a level 43 Spirit Ancestor after all!" Feng Xiaotian's battle intent surged, and his fighting Spirit was high.
"You also promised me in the Star Dou Great Forest that if we met again, we would have a fair fight!"
Lin Yu shrugged helplessly. He seemed to have indeed promised Feng Xiaotian at that time: "Alright, since you all want to fight me so much, then I'll play with you."
Lin Yu leaped onto the stage of the exchange meeting, looking down at everyone and saying: "However, I'm not interested in fighting you one by one. How about each of your Five Elemental Academies send one student to team up and come at me together."
"What! You want the geniuses of our Five Elemental Academies to team up and fight you alone?"
"That's too arrogant!!!"
Feng Xiaotian felt that he was also being underestimated: "Didn't Lin Yu say he would have a fair fight with me? What kind of fair fight is this!"
These geniuses might have known that they absolutely couldn't win against Lin Yu in a one-on-one fight, but deep down, they didn't think Lin Yu was as powerful as the legends said.
Rumors are not necessarily true; they might be exaggerated on purpose to elevate Lin Yu.
Or perhaps he got lucky and managed to kill a Spirit Emperor for some reason. There are always many people in the Spirit Master's world who don't believe Lin Yu is really that amazing.
"Feng Xiaotian, do you think you have the ability to have a fair one-on-one fight with me right now?" Lin Yu shook his head.
The next second, he directly released his Spirit and spirit ring, and terrifying five rings appeared: purple, black, black, black, black.
"Holy crap!!!"
"Five-ring Spirit King!!!"
"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"
"The first ring is a purple thousand-year ring, and all rings from the second onward are black ten-thousand-year rings!"
"How terrifying! How terrifying!"
"Is Lord Lin Yu really as powerful as the rumors say?! No! This is even more heaven-defying than the legends!"
Everyone present was stunned and erupted into a frenzy. Even the deans of the Five Elemental Academies stood up on the spot.
All of them were shocked, with wide eyes and open mouths. Everyone's expression was almost as if their jaw had dropped.
"Why... are we all geniuses, but Lord Lin Yu can be so heaven-defying!"
"Genius? What kind of geniuses are we in front of Lord Lin Yu!"
"We just ignorantly doubted such an existence..."
Just by releasing his Spirit and spirit ring, Lin Yu instantly became the most dazzling new star on the entire scene.
He made the geniuses of the Five Elemental Academies look up to him in awe, losing their so-called genius aura which dimmed in front of Lin Yu. All doubts were shattered, and everyone was speechless and dumbfounded.
"This is too amazing..." Oscar was also stunned.
"I, Feng Xiaotian, cultivated desperately just to fight Lin Yu again one day. I thought my strength would at least catch up to him a bit, but it seems the gap is growing wider and wider."
Feng Xiaotian, who considered himself a genius among geniuses, felt such a helpless sense of despair for the first time, as if no matter how hard he cultivated, he could never surpass Lin Yu.
"So, are you still fighting? If not, I'm leaving!"
Feng Xiaotian gritted his teeth and his battle intent surged again: "I, Feng Xiaotian, represent Shenfeng Academy in this battle!"
"It is my honor to be able to spar with Lord Lin Yu. I, Hu Yanli, represent Xiangjia Academy!"
"I'm sorry, I was ignorant just now. I, Huo Wu, represent Blazing Academy!"
"I, Yu Tianxin, represent Leiting Academy!"
"Shui Bing'er, representing Tianshui Academy."
The five of them stepped forward, one Spirit Ancestor and four Spirit Elders. Moreover, these five were all future captains or vice-captains of their respective academies in the Spirit Master Competition.
They no longer had their previous unconvinced and arrogant demeanor, but they also didn't want to miss the opportunity to fight Lin Yu.
Although these five people all had the strength to challenge higher levels, they were still a bit too weak in front of Lin Yu, and just fighting them wouldn't be very interesting.
Lin Yu suggested: "Since it's a sparring match, let's stop before serious injury. How about this: if you can successfully injure me three times, you win. How about that?"
"Even if the five of us can't beat you, injuring you three times isn't that simple?"
"If that's the case, we're sure to win!"
Feng Xiaotian and the other four were very confident.
"Hehe, then let's try it. Also, I'll only use my first and second Spirit Abilities." Lin Yu said with a smile.
"What?"
"Lord Lin Yu, you really underestimate us too much. Alright, alright, we'll let you know that we're not to be trifled with!"
"Spirit Possession, Gale Dual-Headed Demonic Wolf!"
"Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon!"
"Ice Phoenix!"
"Diamond Mammoth!"
"Blazing Fire Shadow!"
The five of them went all out, and their auras were quite impressive. Their Spirits were also very powerful.
It could be said that they all possessed very formidable Spirits on the continent.
Feng Xiaotian's Gale Dual-Headed Demonic Wolf, a mutated Spirit, was close to top-tier.
Shui Bing'er's Ice Phoenix was a top-tier ice-attribute Spirit, likely the strongest ice-attribute Spirit on the continent currently.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon is a top-tier Spirit, known as the number one Beast Spirit on the continent. Starting from level 30, for every ring gained, a part of the body can be dragonized.
At level 70, one can even transform into a dragon, possessing immense power.
Moreover, Yu Tianxin is known as one of the 'Twin Stars' of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and his strength is very high.
Yu Tianxin should be the second strongest among this group, only after Feng Xiaotian.
The Diamond Mammoth Spirit is also not weak, holding the title of a top-tier defensive Spirit on the continent.
