If not for the protective mechanisms inherent in the "World Stage," countless spectators would have been blinded by the light.
Lin Zhengren was merely not an exception.
With the seal technique in his hands dispersing, Lin Zhengren bit his teeth, eyes shut, and instinctively made a rapid retreat, widening the gap between himself and his opponent.
"Junior Brother Lin, concede," Jiang Limeng urged, ensconced in endless radiance. Her voice was gentle, "Your eyes can still heal. Move quickly, and you’ll make it to the next round."
The water wall that Lin Zhengren had earlier pushed toward her had not yet gotten close before it began to "glisten." Countless rays of light decomposed the Dao Technique and will that Lin Zhengren had invested in it, naturally causing the water wall to collapse in all directions.
At this moment, she seemed like a being composed of light, as if a divine goddess had descended.
Her dignity, her benevolence, all were gifts of a goddess.
Yet Lin Zhengren, insignificant as an ant, revealed his customary tenacity. With his eyes bleeding profusely, yet closed, he stepped backward as if swept away by a torrential flow, rapidly forming seals with his hands.
Beyond tenacity, there was his rare anger: "Senior Sister Jiang, you deceived me!"
Truly a refined man, his cultivation seeped deep into his bones. Even in such extreme anger, he could still respectfully address her as "Senior Sister Jiang." How many could do that?
However, Jiang Limeng would naturally not continue to allow him the chance to express his anger.
She sighed, "Senior Sister wishes you well, yet you fail to see!"
Those innumerable rays of light suddenly sharpened into blades, transforming from the imperceptible glow to arrows that sent chills down one’s spine.
Using light as arrows, they brought death to life!
Those arrows of light, even before Jiang Limeng’s voice ended, were already landing on Lin Zhengren’s body!
No, that was not the case.
Lin Zhengren, whose tightly closed eyes should have seen nothing, had already taken three steps back right after the accusation "you deceived me."
With each step backward, a tree carved out of jade sprang up before him.
Three steps back, three trees stood tall.
These three barely visible jade trees arranged in a trinity.
As soon as they appeared, they suppressed vitality and sealed momentum.
The arrows of light manipulated by Jiang Limeng, with their speed that should have been instantaneous, entered the region encompassed by these jade-green trees, and became as if mired in a quagmire, slow enough for people to fully see the exquisite, sharp, and brilliant details of each individual arrow of light.
It was only at this point that Jiang Limeng’s words, "it’s a pity you do not know," fell silent.
Above the platform, there was a collective gasp.
Only Jiang Wang’s gaze narrowed slightly. Of course, he recognized it, and he could never forget it.
This was Dong Ah’s unique secret technique—
The Tri-Emerald Trees!
Considering Dong Ah’s loyalty to the nation, it was not hard to understand why he would contribute his uniquely created Dao Technique to Zhuang Ting.
Nevertheless, seeing this technique again at the Guanhe Platform, one couldn’t help but feel that times had changed.
Tri-Emerald Trees was an absolutely brilliant Wood tactics Dao Technique. In those days, it was only because Jiang Wang relied on the Decayed Wood Decision, which fundamentally overcame Wood tactics, that he was able to easily unravel it.
At the time, Dong Ah had not had the chance to truly demonstrate the essence of this technique.
It wasn’t until today, in Lin Zhengren’s hands, that Jiang Wang truly witnessed the power of the Tri-Emerald Trees.
He actually delayed the attack initiated by Jiang Limeng using her Siyao Divine Power with the strength of his Dao Technique!
No wonder the spectators watching the battle couldn’t hide their surprise.
The birth of a genius cultivator defied reason; often, it was all about luck. Great and powerful countries just had a larger population base, more lineages of the strong, hence a greater probability of producing geniuses. They also provided a better environment for geniuses to grow and thrive, preventing those with extraordinary talents from fading into obscurity.
Divine Skills, such revered secrets, were linked to experience and cultivation, but to a large extent, they depended on fate. A genius cultivator from a powerful nation does not necessarily have stronger Divine Skills than one from a weaker state.
An important reflection of the true strength of great and powerful countries is actually found in the Technique Library of each country.
Those continuously updated and evolving techniques that every qualified genius cultivator could master and use... were formidable techniques.
The strength of Chuguo was largely attributed to having "The Number One Technique Library under the heavens."
Of course, whether they could still hold on to this title was up for debate. Countries around the world had never ceased in their pursuit of this area.
And in the battle proceeding on the Arena.
That resplendent Liu Li jade tree had delayed the rays of light.
Such a formidable and rare Dao Technique seemed not something a cultivator from Zhuang Country could perform. It was more fitting to be a prime technique from the Technique Library of some great nation.
Nevertheless, it was just a delay.
Sheng Country’s genius cultivator, Jiang Limeng, was of course not to be hindered by this. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
The dazzling light had already receded, and she drew her left hand back in a claw-like gesture.
The radiance from the jade trees was completely stripped from the Dao Technique itself.
She then spread her five fingers and pushed forward.
The jade light spun like flying blades, tearing through the air, heading straight for Lin Zhengren!
She was, so to speak, the controller of light.
This jade light originated from the Tri-Emerald Trees themselves and thus was unaffected by the Dao Technique’s effects of the Tri-Emerald Trees.
Lin Zhengren, who had been blinded in a single encounter, suddenly stepped forward, not advancing but retreating, "walking" into the Liu Li jade trees!
Compared to the light blades, he was not fast enough, but this unexpected move was divinely clever. It was almost as if the interaction had been rehearsed.
Ting ting ting ting tong!
The light blade precisely struck upon the Liu Li jade trees, emitting a chime like that of a wind chime.
At this moment, those arrows of light were still struggling to advance within the domain of the Tri-Emerald Trees, as if flying through thick mud.
