"Hmph, an overestimating fool." O'ldo chuckled, the difference in spirit power between the two sides was nearly ten levels, yet he dared to fight. He couldn't wait to see Tianlin get a brutal beating.
"Mount Shu Swordplay, Raging Wind and Swift Lightning!" Tianlin's first move was the strongest technique among the introductory Mount Shu Swordplay.
When this move is executed, it's as fast as a gale and as fierce as lightning. It's Tianlin's strongest offensive technique besides his Spirit Ability, Congealing Cold Snow.
"First Spirit Ability, Ring Impact!" Chu Jie sensed the danger of this swordplay and quickly made his move.
Clang, the Demon Sword collided with the Copper Ring. Tianlin retreated three steps, but the opponent's ring was also knocked away.
This time, the two were evenly matched, but one must know that there was a full ten-level difference in their spirit power, and the one with the higher spirit power even used a Spirit Ability, yet he didn't gain any advantage at all. One could imagine that if the two were at the same level, that person would not be Tianlin's opponent at all.
"Damn it, I didn't expect a mere one-ringed Soul Master to have such a powerful attack. In that case, Second Spirit Ability, Ring Restraint." This Chu Jie had said that he was a control-type Soul Master, so compared to the first move, Impact, this move was his most powerful technique.
The Copper Ring began to gradually expand and enveloped Tianlin directly above, instantly locking down Tianlin's body. Tianlin held the Demon Sword and forcibly supported it, not allowing the ring to continue to contract.
"How is it? Are you admitting defeat? With your spirit power, it's impossible to break free from my restraint." Chu Jie said smugly.
"Admit defeat? Are you kidding me? You think this little bit of restraint can trap me for long? First Spirit Ability, Congealing Cold Snow!" Tianlin's Spirit Ring lit up, and he also used his First Spirit Ability. Under the attack of Congealing Cold Snow, the Demon Sword continuously cut at the edge of the Copper Ring, and it could be clearly seen that cracks appeared on the ring.
"Damn it, what kind of weapon spirit is this? Its attack power is excessively high. Why aren't you all attacking together? At this rate, I won't be able to restrain him for long." Chu Jie said anxiously, calling out in a panic.
Tianlin didn't expect that Chu Jie, as a Heaven Tier student, would be so despicable, not only bullying the weak but also trying to gang up on him.
O'ldo was extremely excited. He had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. Now that Tianlin was restrained, wouldn't he be at his mercy? He didn't have such a thing as dignity. On the contrary, taking advantage of others' misfortune was his favorite thing to do.
O'ldo summoned the Sunflower and used his Second Spirit Ability, Flower Storm.
In a restrained state, Tianlin had no way to defend or dodge and was immediately swept up by the storm. Inside the storm, the sharp petals quickly cut countless wounds on Tianlin.
Not only that, but also his several lackeys, with spirits of wolves, dogs, or whips, wolf fangs, dog claws, and whips constantly lashing at Tianlin's body.
This scene made O'ldo laugh heartily, "How is it? This is the consequence of offending me."
"You guys are too despicable." The intense pain made Tianlin completely furious. He consumed one-third of his spirit power in one breath, increasing the power of Congealing Cold Snow to the maximum, instantly breaking free from the restraint.
The Demon Sword seemed to sense its master's anger and emitted bursts of eerie blue light.
"Seven Kill Swordplay, Killing Intent Spreads!"
This time, Tianlin was truly intent on killing, and Killing Intent quickly gathered around him.
The surrounding temperature seemed to have dropped several degrees, and the few people surrounded by Killing Intent had goosebumps all over, their entire bodies trembling.
"Kill!" Tianlin spat out a word and charged directly into the crowd.
With a wave of the long sword, several people were instantly knocked away, each with a long bloodstain left on their chest.
Towards these few, Tianlin could still show mercy, but for the culprits Chu Jie and O'ldo, he had no intention of holding back at all.
First was the Heaven Tier student Chu Jie. His Copper Ring had just been broken by Tianlin, and his spirit power was suffering from backlash, making him unable to move at all. Therefore, Tianlin easily sliced off one of his ears with a sword, causing him to roll on the ground in pain.
Next was O'ldo, who was so frightened by Tianlin that his legs went weak. He knelt on the ground and repeatedly apologized, "I'm sorry, please forgive me, it's all my fault, I know I was wrong, I won't dare to do it again."
Unfortunately, Tianlin was truly intent on killing him and ignored him completely, the blade heading directly towards his head.
Just then, a pleasant female voice rang out in the forest, "Nine Heart Begonia!"
In the sky, petals scattered down at some point. Those petals had a healing effect, and the wounds on Tianlin's body gradually began to disappear. Not only him, but the wounds on the chests of the few people Tianlin had cut also stopped bleeding and quickly formed a scar. Of course, Chu Jie's severed ear would not be coming back.
"Stop it, you're just brawling right now, and they're the ones at fault, but once you kill someone, the nature of it completely changes."
The girl's voice calmed Tianlin down a bit. His sword edge deviated slightly, and like Chu Jie, he only cut off one of O'ldo's ears.
This was completely intentional. He could refrain from killing, but that didn't mean he could pretend nothing happened when others offended him. Cutting off one ear each was a small punishment.
"Alas, why are you so impulsive?" The girl sighed as she walked out. In the moonlight, Tianlin finally saw the girl's figure clearly.
She was a rather beautiful girl with short silver hair and well-defined features, holding a Nine Heart Begonia flower in her hand, with two yellow Spirit Rings surrounding her.
Another Great Spirit Master, and her Spirit was actually the legendary, single-lineage Nine Heart Begonia.
This Spirit was said to be the number one healing Spirit in the world, and its Spirit Ability was only one: a range-wide group heal. The more Spirit Rings it had, the stronger the healing ability.
There was a saying that as long as there was a Soul Master with the Nine Heart Begonia, it would be difficult to die even if you wanted to.
"You are, Ye Lingling?" Tianlin guessed the girl's identity. After all, in the original work, she was the only one with the Nine Heart Begonia Spirit.
Ye Lingling nodded. She wasn't surprised that Tianlin could recognize her. After all, she was quite famous in the academy, one of the campus belles, and possessed the Nine Heart Begonia Spirit.
However, she didn't seem to like talking much, and was just silently healing everyone.
Turns out she's a cold-faced but warm-hearted girl.
Soon, with Ye Lingling's help, all the wounds on Tianlin's body disappeared. He had only suffered superficial injuries, and now, apart from a bit of Soul Power depletion and a torn piece of clothing, he was perfectly fine.
The number one healing Spirit in the world was indeed well-deserved.
"For the sake of Senior Ye Lingling, I'll let you go today. Get lost!" Tianlin shouted at the group with the Demon Sword in his hand.
These nobles cherished their lives, and now they were even more frightened. They didn't dare to utter a single harsh word, and took their boss, who had fainted from the pain, and scurried away.
Seeing this, Ye Lingling withdrew her Nine Heart Begonia and then said to Tianlin, "They won't let this go easily, and may use their family power. You need to be careful."
"Thank you for the reminder, Senior." Tianlin smiled at her. This senior was really kind.
It seems that not everyone in the Heaven Dou Royal Academy is trash. There are still some true geniuses after all.
