She wasn't the type to back down easily; she used her mental strength to fight back.
Xie Zhou thought her mental power could stop Song Wu from absorbing her spiritual power, but she didn't realize that after using it several times, it was unconsciously dissipated in other places, which puzzled her.
She activated her mental power again, but it was still useless. Upon closer inspection, she discovered that it was Senior Brother Song's sea of consciousness that was automatically defending itself.
The system was everywhere, and it immediately said, "This Senior Brother Song must have also learned the second half of the technique!"
Wow! We've run into someone with real ability!
Next, Xie Zhou focused even more on his mental energy. At first, Senior Brother Song also noticed the increasingly powerful mental energy around him, so he put aside his spiritual energy attacks and secretly used his own mental energy to collide with her attacks.
A powerful aura immediately swept over the disciples watching the battle below.
Sensing the unusual situation on the field, Luo Fantian's initially calm expression changed slightly. Xie Zhou and Song Wu both opened their sea of consciousness and used their spiritual power.
He looked at the two people on the stage, his brows furrowed slightly, a hint of worry on his face, and said in a low voice, "Senior Brother Song, you..."
Luo Fantian's worry was not because of Xie Zhou, but for someone else. However, there were only two people present: Xie Zhou and Song Wu. It was obvious who his worry was for.
Because he had witnessed Xie Zhou's spiritual power, such as fortresses as hard as iron, which stood firmly in front of everyone and burst out in all directions with an unstoppable force. Even though it was just a small part of the iceberg, it was still so powerful.
Her spiritual power was like countless veins underground, drawing all the attention and unnatural abilities emanating from various places into her sea of consciousness. In her eyes, it was probably like a gaping maw that could never be filled.
The disciples of the Sword Sect also noticed this, but they were unaware that Senior Sister Xie possessed such powerful spiritual strength. With some concerns and anxiety on their faces, they began to talk to the disciples who had come with them.
"You're saying they're not using spiritual power to attack, but mental power instead. Who will have the upper hand?"
His companion was intently watching the tense scene unfold, but he wasn't confident about the mental strength contest.
There was no distinction between victory and defeat, so everyone was focused on the intensity of the battle, as if the entire arena had entered the most heated phase of the competition. This was the most eye-catching aspect, so he just went along with it and expressed his thoughts.
"It's about 50/50. Senior Sister Zhao isn't that bad, and Senior Brother Song is also very strong! So these two can be considered a clash of titans!"
"If we absolutely have to decide who wins, who do you think has a better chance of winning the prize in this competition?"
"How many times have you asked this question? Can't you see? It's a close call right now, neither of them can gain the upper hand. I can't tell who will win either. But let's see what happens next."
"oh……"
The man, with a slightly disappointed expression, continued to look up intently at the martial arts competition between Song Wu and Xie Zhou.
In truth, he desperately hoped that Senior Sister Xie could defeat Song Wu decisively, but the opening was not particularly impressive. Instead, she was at a disadvantage in every aspect. Although she dodged Song Wu's strong attacks in the previous rounds, he saw that Senior Sister Xie was always on the verge of danger. He hoped that the mental battle could turn the tide.
However, Xie Zhou had the idea of playing tricks on Senior Brother Song, so she temporarily refrained from using too much of her spiritual power.
She wanted to see what Senior Brother Song, who had learned the second half of the scroll, had actually comprehended. Was his mental strength as strong as hers?
The system, however, was tainted by its master's arrogance and provocatively addressed Senior Brother Song.
"Quickly crush him. Your mental strength is a terrifying existence. Everyone here is no match for you. But it's not bad to keep him hanging like this and play with him. Let's see what the difference is between someone who has learned the second half of the technique and someone as powerful as you with a cheat code?"
Both of them shared the same idea, so they only used a small portion of their spiritual power to form a barrier around him, while the rest was used to cleanse Senior Brother Song's sea of consciousness invisibly, one wave after another.
Although the power is small, it is enough to counter his current mental attacks.
Xie Zhou watched as Song Wu gradually frowned, gritted his teeth, and stared at him with eagle-like eyes, sharp and menacing.
She then provocatively said, "Senior Brother Song, I think your mental strength is nothing special. I still managed to block it, didn't I? But I am somewhat surprised by Senior Brother Song's ability to defend his sea of consciousness!"
"The real show is about to begin..."
Because it took several hours, Xie Zhou had been using only a small portion of his mental energy to fight against Song Wu.
Song Wu gradually lost patience and frantically increased his mental strength, but each time she easily neutralized it and blocked him from the outside.
Song Wu's resolve began to waver, and since the morale of his troops was already low, he wanted a quick victory but was constantly being held back by Xie Zhou, which inevitably made him somewhat irritable.
Seeing that the time was right, Xie Zhou's eyes changed, and his spiritual power rushed towards Song Wu.
A powerful pressure came from the front, and the mental control it exerted was like a chariot, transforming into the largest claw that gripped Song Wu's neck tightly.
Suddenly, he became quite powerful, and in an instant, Song Wu felt as if he had gone from heaven to hell.
He was stunned, never expecting that the girl in front of him possessed such formidable and powerful spiritual strength.
Soon, Senior Brother Song increased his mental strength, but it was still no match for Xie Zhou's mental assault, which directly overwhelmed Senior Brother Song.
Senior Brother Song was forced to retreat step by step, and he was about to reach the edge of the dueling platform. Xie Zhou was also pressing closer. The people from Wuyou Pavilion changed their expressions suddenly. How did things suddenly turn out like this? Wasn't Senior Brother Song always in a dominant position?
In order not to embarrass himself, Senior Brother Song diverted a portion of his power, namely the power of his Dark Spiritual Root.
Two dark spirit puppets were released.
This gave him two more helpers, which was like adding wings to a tiger.
The three of them ganged up on Zhao Zhou.
She looked around at the three people and found that the Dark Spirit Puppet was indeed as ugly as rumored, which made her feel a little disgusted.
Then, using the spirit sword that Luo Fantian had given her, she gathered her spiritual power in both hands, drew several talismans in the air, and silently recited incantations. Soon, the spirit sword split into dozens of swords, which hung in the air. She then used the sword formation of the Sword Sect.
The disciples of the Sword Sect were shocked. What was Senior Sister Xie doing?!
Because she single-handedly created a sword formation that would normally require several people to execute.
