"It's over!" Zhu Ziyang murmured, then directly leaped into the air, gripping the Pacifying Life-Reaping Scythe's handle with both hands, its blade pointing downwards, its ring-blade towards the sky, and its spear tip aimed directly at Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi.
Vast and majestic Light Attribute power converged on the scythe's blade, making it shine like a brilliant sun, its momentum fierce like a heavenly punishment, causing Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi, who faced its might, to change their expressions drastically. Zhu Ziyang's waist suddenly swayed, first bending forward, then backward, and with his movements, the Pacifying Life-Reaping Scythe's blade carved a huge, golden, crescent-shaped saber aura in the air.
Half-Moon of the Departed Style: Golden Crescent!
The massive saber aura, named Golden Crescent, advanced with Zhu Ziyang's finished movements in a very slow yet inescapable manner. In the eyes of Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi, it slowly, slowly magnified, and the terrifying pressure made them unable to even think of resisting.
Just as the two were about to be engulfed by the golden saber aura, the examiner outside the arena finally made his move. A pair of eagle wings appeared behind him, and seven spirit rings floated behind his back. His movements were incredibly swift. He rushed onto the stage, grabbed one person in each hand, and carried Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi off the examination grounds.
The second Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi were taken away, the golden saber aura completely engulfed half of the examination area. After the massive saber aura dissipated, all the observing teachers were shocked to discover that a long, narrow saber mark, nearly a hundred meters long and three meters wide, had appeared on the originally flat examination grounds!
"This... a self-created Spirit Ability!" The teachers were all shocked, and Du Weilun was no different. His gaze towards Zhu Ziyang became even more serious. He had reason to believe that Zhu Ziyang would become the most dazzling new star on the continent!
"..." Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi, rescued by the examiner teacher, stared dumbfounded at the saber mark on the arena. After a long while, they recovered from their shock, exchanged glances, and both showed wry smiles.
Returning to the arena, while Zhu Ziyang was handling Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi two-on-one, on the other side of the arena, Xue Weiwei was also fighting two-on-one.
However, unlike Zhu Ziyang, who displayed great power in a one-versus-two situation, Xue Weiwei, who was a control system with limited abilities, was completely helpless against the combined assault of agility-attack system Jiang Nannan and control system Tang Ya. Asking a Spirit Grandmaster who was nominally a control system but actually a support system to fight an agility-attack system Spirit Grandmaster and a control system Spirit Grandmaster was simply like forcing a bull to give birth, asking for the impossible!
Although Jiang Nannan and Tang Ya were affected by the Light of Slowness, their speed was reduced significantly. However, with no one else interfering, through a two-on-one game of hide-and-seek, they eventually defeated Xue Weiwei, several minutes faster than Zhu Ziyang dealt with Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi.
Therefore, when Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi were taken off the examination grounds by the examiner, the match had already ended.
"Zhu Ziyang's team wins!" the examiner announced.
"Yay!" Tang Ya, holding Jiang Nannan's hand, cheered.
Zhu Ziyang also smiled. His eyes inadvertently glanced at the rostrum and saw that Yan Shaozhe was no longer there. He immediately realized something, and the curve of his smile became even more pronounced.
"Ziyang, Xiaoya, Nannan, congratulations!" Bei Bei and the other two walked over. Although they lost, they were convinced of their defeat, so all three had genuine congratulations on their faces. Bei Bei spoke.
"Thank you for the match!" Zhu Ziyang was not pretentious and directly accepted their congratulations. Then he patted Bei Bei's shoulder and asked, "How is it? No injuries, right?"
"I'm fine!" Bei Bei smiled.
"Haha, as expected, we were still superior!" Tang Ya ran over, hugged Bei Bei's arm, her face filled with excitement and pride, and said to Xu Sanshi, "How about it, Xu Sanshi, are you convinced?"
"Convinced, I am naturally convinced!" Xu Sanshi replied straightforwardly, with an admiring smile on his face. He said, "This is the first time I've seen someone with a thousand-year spirit ring as their second spirit ring. It's truly astonishing."
"Indeed!" Bei Bei also nodded, very puzzled, and said, "Ziyang, how did you do it? Also, why does your Spirit make my Spirit tremble?"
"Perhaps my Spirit is simply more powerful!" Zhu Ziyang said with a smile, his tone calm.
But to Bei Bei's ears, this meant that Zhu Ziyang was unwilling to answer. After all, his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon was a top-tier true dragon Spirit. There were probably only a few Spirits on the entire continent more powerful than the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon! However, Bei Bei was also very sensible and did not continue to ask.

Time rewound to the beginning of the match. When Yan Shaozhe realized that Zhu Ziyang's Spirit possessed the Ultimate Light Attribute, he rushed towards Sea God Island at an astonishing speed.
On the shore of Sea God Lake, a disheveled old man was sitting there. His appearance was completely out of place with the beautiful lake scenery. His long robe, which should have been white, had turned grayish-brown, with numerous patches and holes of various sizes. His hair was messy, and his bare feet were submerged in the cool waters of Sea God Lake. In his right hand, he held a large gourd. The gourd was purplish-red, made of an unknown material. He would occasionally pick it up and take a sip, and a rich aroma of wine would immediately emanate from it. In his other hand, he clutched a roasted chicken, eating and drinking with great pleasure, heedless of the grease, taking a sip of wine and a bite of meat.
"Elder Xuan!" Yan Shaozhe noticed the old man. Although he was in a hurry, he still slowed down and greeted him. Before the old man could react, he had already rushed onto Sea God Island.
"This Yan Shaozhe, why is he still so impetuous in his actions? Really~" The old man mumbled, then casually continued to gnaw on his chicken leg, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.
After Yan Shaozhe rushed onto Sea God Island, he immediately went to the depths of Sea God Island, outside a pavilion located on the mountaintop. This was a three-story building, the building itself was brown, entirely wooden, with a rustic charm mixed with a hint of antiquity. If one looked closely, one could also find that the wood of the building's body had an almost oily sheen. The three-story building was only about ten meters high, without any sense of grandeur or magnificence. However, directly above the entrance on the first floor, a black plaque hung, with three gilded characters indicating its identity: Sea God Pavilion.
"Teacher, your disciple has an urgent matter to report!" Yan Shaozhe stood respectfully outside the small building, his face filled with devout reverence, and said.
"...Come in!" After a long while, an old voice finally sounded from within. As the voice appeared, the door of the small building opened naturally.
Yan Shaozhe was very anxious, but he had to slow his steps and walk into the small building.
"Teacher!" Yan Shaozhe quickly walked to Mu En's reclining chair and respectfully called out.
"Hmm!" Mu En lay on the wooden chair, letting out a barely audible hum, his eyes closed, as if he were asleep.
"Teacher, do you still remember the new student named Zhu Ziyang I mentioned yesterday?" Yan Shaozhe was already used to Mu En's state and spoke directly.
"Hmm!" Mu En, hearing Yan Shaozhe's words, a confident and handsome young man appeared in his mind, and he replied uncharacteristically.
Yan Shaozhe's face showed a hint of joy upon hearing this, and he immediately said, "Teacher, he has an Ultimate Spirit!"
