Chapter 74 Zhan Linhui, Admit Defeat?
"As you wish!"
Qin Mu had barely finished speaking when he slowly raised his left hand.
Instantly, everyone present felt an extremely heavy pressure fall upon them.
"What, what's going on?!"
The expressions of everyone present changed drastically, and they continued to retreat in the opposite direction from Qin Mu and Lin Hui. They retreated for about thirty meters before the pressure on them gradually eased.
"Was that pressure just now also caused by Qin Mu? But why aren't any of his spirit rings lit up?"
Most people present had no idea what a domain was, except for a few like Hu Liena who had some knowledge and recognized that what Qin Mu released was a domain, and they looked at Qin Mu again.
"This guy, he's gotten so strong in just two years..."
Yan, standing to Hu Liena's other side, looked at Qin Mu with envy in his eyes.
Especially when Yan saw the look of admiration and relief in Hu Liena's eyes as she looked at Qin Mu, he felt an overwhelming pang of sorrow.
Two years ago, he could suppress Qin Mu with his soul power, but now, Qin Mu has far surpassed him in both soul power and overall strength.
At the same time, Lin Hui also felt this pressure. After a slight pause, Lin Hui realized that Qin Mu had released a gravity domain.
At such a young age, not only is his soul power approaching level fifty, but his soul rings also exceed the optimal ratio, and he even possesses a domain.
Given time, Qin Mu will definitely become a pillar of the Spirit Hall in the future.
Lin Hui thought this to himself, but his actions showed no mercy.
As his second soul skill lit up, Lin Hui's aura surged dramatically.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Hui used his third soul skill, lunging directly at Qin Mu.
"Blazing Tiger Slash!"
Lin Hui's two tiger claws became enormous, and flames burned fiercely on them.
The temperature on it was so high that even viewers 30 meters away could feel the intense heat.
However, this temperature had no effect on Qin Mu, who had undergone the tempering of ice and fire.
Furthermore, due to the gravity domain, Lin Hui felt that his feet were extremely heavy, and the speed of his attack was reduced considerably.
Qin Mu raised the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand and spun it rapidly above his head.
At the same time, Qin Mu's third soul skill also lit up.
The storm barrier formed by the counter-storm steadily protected Qin Mu. By the time Lin Hui's attack arrived, the storm barrier in front of Qin Mu had already taken shape.
The tiger's claws slashed across the storm barrier with no force whatsoever, the sharp, piercing sound of metal scraping against metal causing many to frown.
Lin Hui's offensive was not without effect; the powerful attack directly tore a small crack in the storm barrier.
Upon seeing the tiny crack, Qin Mu and Lin Hui both frowned, looking at each other with some surprise.
As his most proficient killing move, Lin Hui's Blazing Tiger Strike is not only powerful, but also imbued with extremely strong fire attributes.
Let alone facing a four-ring Soul Elder, even a five-ring defensive Soul Master would not be able to easily withstand his attack.
But right now, his most prized attack had only left a small hole in Qin Mu's counterattack, which was unacceptable to Lin Hui.
Similarly, Qin Mu was also quite surprised by Lin Hui's attack.
Counterattack Storm is not a defensive soul skill, but rather an offensive soul skill that uses the opponent's force against them.
The storm barrier formed by the counter-storm can continuously wear down the impending offensive, thereby amplifying the opponent's attack into one's own counter-attack.
However, under Lin Hui's Fiery Tiger's devastating attack, the Storm Barrier didn't even have time to weaken or draw strength before being penetrated by Lin Hui's powerful attack.
It must be said that Lin Hui's ability to become the captain of the previous Spirit Hall Academy was indeed due to his skill.
However, Lin Hui's opponent is Qin Mu!
A slight smile appeared on Qin Mu's lips. As Lin Hui sensed a slight danger, the Clear Sky Hammer in Qin Mu's hand stopped spinning.
Using the momentum, he spun half a circle, and the Clear Sky Hammer, carrying an extremely strong gust of wind, fiercely smashed towards Lin Hui.
Due to the influence of gravity, Lin Hui had no time to dodge.
However, Lin Hui, a seasoned veteran, was not the kind of person who would surrender easily.
With his fourth soul skill and fifth soul ring lighting up one after another, Lin Hui used his second amplification soul skill and his ten-thousand-year fifth soul skill.
"Fourth Soul Skill, Fiery Tiger Body!"
"Fifth Soul Skill, Meteor Fire Earth-Splitting Claw!"
Lin Hui's aura surged again, doubling both his attack and defense capabilities.
Immediately afterwards, an extremely powerful fire-attribute energy gradually condensed on Lin Hui's right claw.
Just before the powerful gust of the Clear Sky Hammer arrived, Lin Hui suddenly swung his right hand towards the Clear Sky Hammer.
Instantly, a fiery red claw strike, resembling sword energy, slashed directly at the Clear Sky Hammer.
A tremendous explosion erupted between the two, and then Lin Hui's fiery claw strike, piercing through the force of the Clear Sky Hammer, continued its slash towards Qin Mu.
Qin Mu reacted quickly. After taking two steps back and realizing there was no way to dodge, he stretched out his left hand and made a stop gesture in front of him.
Left arm bone soul bone technique, Titan's Shock activated!
The already weakened Flame Claw shattered into countless sparks under Qin Mu's attack, scattering in all directions.
As the dust gradually settled, the two figures gradually appeared before everyone.
At this moment, Qin Mu and Lin Hui were both relatively unharmed, without any injuries.
However, the open space between the two had been horribly damaged by the battle, with flames still burning in many places.
At this moment, some sharp-eyed people noticed that Lin Hui's breathing was much more rapid than Qin Mu's, and he was also expending more energy than Qin Mu.
Could it be that Qin Mu actually had the upper hand in the attack just now?!
For a moment, everyone present looked at Qin Mu with some shock.
They didn't expect that Qin Mu would be able to maintain the advantage in his fight against Lin Hui.
But what shocked everyone even more was what Lin Hui said next.
"Qin Mu, you are indeed very strong. I am no match for you."
Upon hearing this, everyone present stared at Lin Hui in disbelief.
It should be noted that as the captain of the previous Spirit Hall Academy and a leader of the younger generation, Lin Hui's losses were all against teachers who were far older than him.
This was the first time Lin Hui had publicly admitted defeat to someone much younger than himself.
"However, conceding defeat doesn't mean the game is over!"
"I will give it my all, and I hope you will take it seriously!"
After Lin Hui finished speaking, Qin Mu couldn't help but feel a bit of goodwill towards him.
Being able to recognize the gap between oneself and one's own limitations, yet still daring to continue challenging oneself, is a strength that many people lack.
