"Who are you? Don't interfere in our business!"
Ye Zhiqiu glanced at them, his tone full of warning.
"Oh? Then you might be disappointed," Lin Xian replied lazily. "As much as I don't want to admit it, we're from the same academy as these… wastes."
"What did you say?! Call your teacher out—we'll settle this properly!"
Lin Xian laughed.
"No need. We're not as useless as the four lying on the ground."
With a casual wave of his hand, two chairs appeared.
He turned to Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu.
"Sit. Watch the show. We'll finish this quickly."
—
Arrogant.
Utterly arrogant.
Ye Zhiqiu's anger surged.
These brats had no respect for a Spirit King.
—
On the ground, Dai Mubai and the others clenched their fists.
Lin Xian had just called them trash—and they heard it clearly.
But alongside their anger…
There was expectation.
If Lin Xian got crushed, they'd finally have a chance to mock him back.
After all, four of them together—surely stronger than just two?
—
Lin Xian extended his hand.
Zhu Zhuqing immediately understood and placed hers in his.
Dai Mubai shut his eyes tightly.
That scene…
was unbearable.
As a royal of the Star Luo Empire, he knew exactly what it meant.
Martial Soul Fusion.
But that was impossible!
How could Zhu Zhuqing fuse with Lin Xian?!
And yet—
it was happening right in front of him.
—
A vast aura erupted.
Behind Lin Xian, the Star Abyss Martial Soul unfolded, forming a boundless starry sky.
Deep within it, a planet emitted a dark radiance—
and descended.
BOOM!
It struck Zhu Zhuqing—
but instead of harm, her figure transformed.
Taller.
Sharper.
Wrapped in dark purple armor infused with shadow energy.
"Martial Soul Fusion Skill: Dark Night Star Armor."
—
Cool.
That was the only thought in Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu's minds.
The armor was sleek, mysterious—
and terrifying.
Especially the three blade-like tails behind her, swaying with deadly elegance.
—
Danger.
A deep, instinctive fear rose within Ye Zhiqiu.
—
"Seven Treasures have names—first: Strength! Second: Speed!"
From behind, Ning Rongrong activated her buffs.
Lin Xian didn't turn back—just raised a thumbs-up.
—
The next instant—
he appeared within five steps of Ye Zhiqiu.
The speed alone shocked even Zhao Wuji.
—
Ye Zhiqiu panicked.
"Third Spirit Ability: Black Tortoise Power!"
"Fourth Spirit Ability: Black Tortoise Protection!"
"Fifth Spirit Ability: Black Tortoise Ice Shield!"
He activated everything at once.
—
"Starry Sky Binding."
Chains of shadow wrapped around him instantly, locking him in place.
They pulsed with eerie energy, suppressing him completely.
Lin Xian's voice was calm:
"Watch carefully. If you can take one move from me… you win."
—
"Star… River… Fall."
With a simple downward gesture—
the battlefield changed.
A starlight barrier formed beneath Ye Zhiqiu.
Above him—
a massive shadow planet descended.
—
"No!"
He struggled—but couldn't break free.
The shadow power weakened his defenses continuously.
Then—
BOOM.
The planet crashed down.
A violent shockwave rippled outward.
Dust filled the air.
—
When it cleared—
Ye Zhiqiu lay on the ground like a corpse, blood pooling beneath him.
His Black Tortoise Martial Soul—
completely shattered.
—
Lin Xian walked forward calmly.
"If you're weak, train more."
"If you can't handle it—don't act tough."
He turned and left without another glance.
Behind him—
Ye Zhiqiu coughed up blood and lost consciousness.
—
Each step Lin Xian took felt like it pressed down on everyone's hearts.
Fear.
Power.
Oppression.
—
The onlookers scattered instantly.
No one dared stay.
The students of Canghui Academy trembled on the ground, too terrified to move.
If Lin Xian wanted—
no one here would survive.
—
At some point, Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu had already stood up.
Their eyes burned with emotion.
Each, in her own way, seemed to have made a decision.
—
Zhao Wuji finally appeared.
He had been worried the fusion might go out of control.
But that concern vanished immediately.
The Dark Night Star Armor dissolved instantly.
Lin Xian held Zhu Zhuqing in his arms.
Both looked calm.
As if they hadn't expended much energy at all.
—
Zhao Wuji's heart trembled.
Monster.
This… was a real monster.
He once thought Dai Mubai and the others were geniuses.
Then came Tang San—with his hidden weapons and terrifying background.
But now—
he realized something.
The most low-key one among them—
was the most abnormal of all.
Lin Xian…
was a monster among monsters.
