"Indeed, he's extraordinary!"
Lan Yue smiled as she watched Chi Chen's explosive power. Sure enough, her intuition was always right.
"However, that's not enough. Unleash your forbidden technique!"
Lan Yue's calm tone came from beneath the mask. Facing Chi Chen's long sword, Lan Yue still did not dodge.
"Swipe!"
Chi Chen's long sword flashed, unsurprisingly piercing through Lan Yue's body once again and striking the empty space behind him.
At the same time, Lan Yue's hand finally moved for the first time since he appeared.
"bass!"
Lan Yue also drew the long sword hanging at her waist, swung it backhand, and slashed at Chi Chen's waist. At the same time, Chi Chen's heart tightened, and he felt an invisible wave coming towards his neck.
"Is this his bizarre attack ability?"
Chi Chen's expression was serious. As he slid past, he turned around and accurately blocked the long sword that Lan Yue was slashing at him with.
Then, using the shockwave from the collision of the two blades, Chi Chen slightly shifted his body. The invisible wave that rushed toward his neck grazed past Chi Chen's ear, and a tuft of black hair flew into the air as if it had been neatly cut by an invisible blade.
"Is he serious?"
A chill ran down Chi Chen's neck. That attack just now wasn't meant to knock him unconscious!
If that had hit me, I'm afraid he would have sliced off a piece of skin from my neck.
Chi Chen's first attack failed, but he did not rush to pursue again. Instead, he quickly created some distance again.
Chi Chen looked at the long sword in his hand and recalled the moment he struck Lan Yue's body. A strange feeling welled up in Chi Chen's heart.
Chi Chen was certain that Lan Yue's body had not become ethereal; it was indeed a physical entity. However, his longsword had indeed struck Lan Yue's body. It seemed that Gan Yuan had been wrong to say that it wasn't Lan Yue's physical form. Furthermore, Lan Yue's subsequent attack with his longsword proved this point. What he saw before him was indeed Lan Yue's body.
But Gan Yuan was right about one thing: even if Lan Yue could switch between the real and the virtual in his body, there would be absolutely no stagnation in the process of switching.
From this first encounter, Chi Chen understood that Lan Yue's ability was definitely not simply about rapidly switching between physical and illusory states.
What exactly was that strange feeling?
Chi Chen looked at Lan Yue with a serious expression, feeling as if he had grasped something, but at the same time, he hadn't grasped anything.
"In that case, we can only uncover your secret through repeated attacks!"
A look of excitement appeared on Chi Chen's face. Lan Yue was right; his spiritual power alone was not enough. He would then let Lan Yue witness the power of the Divine Restriction.
"They're here!"
A little distance away, Lin Bai and Xiang Ming exchanged a glance, their expressions a mixture of strangeness and anticipation. Xiang Ming, in particular, had personally experienced the terror of Chi Chen's Battle Saint Intent.
Having used the forbidden Chi Chen, can he pose a real threat to the Seven Rainbows Squad leader who inspires such a sense of powerlessness?
Seeing this, Gan Yuan and the others also looked at Chi Chen with curiosity. Since the start of the training camp, apart from Chi Chen, all the other newcomers had already used their forbidden abilities. However, Chi Chen had performed exceptionally well without using any forbidden abilities, which made them somewhat dissatisfied. But more than anything, they were curious about Chi Chen's forbidden abilities that had not been revealed for so long.
"Come on, let me see just what kind of monster you really are!"
Blue Moon's eyes were also filled with anticipation; he wanted to see just how far this newcomer could push himself.
"Battle Saintly Will!"
Chi Chen silently recited a phrase in his heart, and then, under everyone's curious gaze, the scar hidden under his clothes became slightly warm. A strange power instantly surged into every part of his body, entering every cell. Chi Chen could feel that at this moment, every part of his body was cheering and jumping for joy.
At the same moment, the battle domain was formed, and a soaring battle intent burst forth instantly, like a giant wave crashing outwards. Naturally, the first to bear the impact of Chi Chen's battle intent was Lan Yue.
A glint of light flashed in Lan Yue's eyes. Under the impact of that fighting spirit, she felt her body trembling uncontrollably, but it was not a tremor of fear, but a sign of excitement.
"Is this his taboo?"
Gan Yuan and the others stared in shock at Chi Chen, whose mere release of forbidden abilities created such a formidable spectacle. Their mouths were agape. No wonder Chi Chen hadn't released any forbidden abilities earlier; who could possibly withstand this?
At this moment, the instructors hidden in the shadows were also shocked by the fighting spirit emanating from Chi Chen. They looked at this newcomer with different expressions.
"Chi Chen's fighting spirit has intensified considerably!"
Xiang Ming's eyes flickered constantly as he felt a great deal of pressure. Before meeting Chi Chen, Xiang Ming didn't think he was among the most outstanding newcomers, but he believed he was not bad either. However, after spending some time with Chi Chen, Xiang Ming realized that he had become somewhat complacent and arrogant after listening to too much flattery in the manor.
With the activation of his Battle Saint Intent, Chi Chen's face once again displayed that arrogant and domineering expression.
"Hey!"
Chi Chen let out a strange laugh, and his body moved again. A speed several times faster than before burst forth instantly. With his body and sword moving together, Chi Chen launched another attack with an invincible aura.
"Such a big improvement?"
Upon seeing this, Lan Yue's face beneath the mask also revealed surprise. After Chi Chen activated the forbidden technique, he seemed to have become a completely different person.
The long sword slashed down, slicing across Lan Yue's body once more. That strange feeling resurfaced in Chi Chen's mind, but he didn't dwell on it. Right now, all he could think about was swinging his sword again and again.
"Ping ping ping!"
In the forest, Chi Chen's longsword spun like a propeller, relentlessly attacking Lan Yue. Facing Lan Yue's invisible attacks, Chi Chen, now activating his Battle Saint Intent, became increasingly perceptive and adept at handling them, almost always managing to dodge or block with his longsword.
Although Blue Moon's attack is strange and invisible before it appears, it is not unstoppable when it hits the opponent's body.
"He's starting to use his longsword more often!"
Before Chi Chen, the light of the blades was like a shadow. The two longswords reached an extreme speed in the air, clashing incessantly. Chi Chen also noticed that Lan Yue was gradually reducing the number of times her longswords had slashed her body.
"Chi Chen actually forced him to retreat?"
On the sidelines, Gan Yuan and the others unconsciously moved their Adam's apples. Previously, so many of them couldn't get Lan Yue to move an inch, but now, under Chi Chen's rapid and relentless attacks, Lan Yue had begun to move her body to actively avoid Chi Chen's attacks.
"My strength and will to fight are weakening, while his strength and speed are increasing? Can his domain absorb my power and use it for his own purposes?"
After the two exchanged nearly a hundred blows in a short period of time, Lan Yue's brows furrowed, and he lost his previous composure. He also noticed the strangeness of Chi Chen's combat domain.
"What kind of forbidden ability is this? I've never encountered anything like it before!"
Lan Yue's eyes narrowed as he watched the long sword swing towards him at lightning speed. He knew he couldn't dodge or block this attack.
The longsword whistled as it sliced through Lan Yue's body once more. A few beads of sweat appeared on Lan Yue's forehead beneath his mask. The continuous use of forbidden abilities had taken a toll on his mental strength, even with his current Radiant Realm cultivation.
"I didn't expect you to wear me down to this extent in such a short time!"
Lan Yue felt his condition decline, but instead of being worried, he smiled from the bottom of his heart. He had originally been unwilling to accept Cheng Hu's request to come, but now it seemed that coming here was the right choice.
Lan Yue retreated, trying to push away the circular domain surrounding Chi Chen's body and then use her strange attacks to wear him down. But Chi Chen wouldn't give her that chance. At this moment, Chi Chen was like a piece of chewing gum, sticking to Lan Yue tightly.
No matter how fast Lan Yue sped up, Chi Chen stayed right next to him.
"Every move he makes demonstrates the ultimate use of power, with no waste whatsoever. Is this really the kind of combat ability a newcomer who hasn't even officially entered the Secret Slaying Bureau can possess?"
The more Lan Yue hit him, the more surprised she became. Even they, who had been fighting against the mysterious forces for years, could not find any fault with Chi Chen's performance. In fact, Lan Yue herself thought it was impossible for Chi Chen to achieve such perfection in his timing of attacks and every step of his offensive.
Have I gradually fallen into his offensive rhythm?
Lan Yue's eyes narrowed slightly. With the constant ebb and flow of power, he was already feeling tired.
"It's time to show your true skills!"
Lan Yue's expression changed. If things continued like this, he would really lose to Chi Chen.
Lan Yue raised her long sword and swung it towards Chi Chen.
As Chi Chen felt Lan Yue's attack, the disdain on his face made Lan Yue's lips twitch. How come this person is so strong after activating the forbidden technique, but also so disrespectful?
Throughout the battle, Lan Yue had seen that look of utter contempt on Chi Chen's face no less than thirty times.
Chi Chen's longsword also fell, intending to cleave Lan Yue's longsword, but at the moment the two longswords collided, a look of astonishment appeared on Chi Chen's face.
Because the long sword in Chi Chen's hand actually sliced through the long sword in Lan Yue's hand just like it had sliced through Lan Yue's body before.
Chi Chen's longsword missed its mark and swept across Lan Yue's body, but Lan Yue's longsword continued its relentless attack towards Chi Chen's face.
If that strike lands, Chi Chen will surely die.
"Chi Chen!"
Upon seeing this, Lin Bai felt a pang of anxiety and wanted to make a move, but ultimately did not raise his hand.
The other new recruits and instructors also tensed up upon seeing this. Would Lan Yue really go for the kill?
Under everyone's watchful eyes, at the critical moment, Chi Chen, who was in the battle domain, suddenly changed his expression, and his chest felt as hot as a branding iron.
"drink!"
Chi Chen shouted, and his entire body was pulled back half an inch as if he had teleported. Lan Yue's long sword slashed down from above, just past Chi Chen's face. The sharp wind from the sword stung Chi Chen's face and made his body feel cold. If he had been even half a second later, he would have been cleaved in two.
"I know what your forbidden ability is now!"
Chi Chen dodged the fatal blow and spoke, which surprised everyone present, including Lan Yue.
Did Chi Chen learn about Lan Yue's abilities?
A glint of light flashed in the eyes of Gan Yuan and the others.
