Chapter 565: with translation of chapter title

Now everyone else has been cleared out, leaving only the two of us; let me see just how strong you really are!

Cao Ying brushed aside a stray red lock of hair that had fallen before her forehead with her jade hand, and the alluring smile on her bewitching face grew even more enchanting.

However, as she spoke, her jade hand silently formed a seal, then suddenly condensed!

As her seal took shape, the majestic soul power swirling around her instantly gathered rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, it transformed into an invisible phoenix.

As the phoenix's wings flapped, the surrounding space twisted violently.

Even faintly, there appeared tiny black spatial cracks that spread outward.

Though this soul phoenix is formless, the oppressive pressure it emanates.

causes the solemn gazes of many in the hall to pause at the empty space before Cao Ying.

Go!

At the instant Cao Ying's jade finger lightly touched the void, a clear phoenix cry suddenly echoed throughout the hall.

And that invisible phoenix, with a beat of its wings, whipped up a gale and surged toward Lin Feng.

Seeing this, majestic soul power surged from Lin Feng's body, like endless waves, enveloping the entire examination ground.

The powerful soul power brought with it an extraordinarily terrifying pressure, spreading like lightning across the whole hall.

Wherever it passed, space trembled, and faint black cracks silently spread unnoticed.

Although soul power is formless and colorless, that pervasive, terrifying pressure can truly affect people.

Meanwhile, their movements caused suffering for some people in the hall whose soul power was relatively weak.

First they were struck by Cao Ying's soul power, then Lin Feng followed up with another blow.

Watching the spectacle left them dazed, and there was no one else to blame.

At that moment, Lin Feng's palm clenched suddenly.

The sweeping, majestic soul power instantly condensed into one point.

Go!

As the light shout fell, the ocean-like soul power swiftly coalesced into a substance-like soul iron hammer.

Then the hammer smashed down hard onto the head of Cao Ying's invisible phoenix.

Bang!

The hammer head and phoenix head collided, directly kicking up a violent soul storm.

The hard hall floor was torn open at that moment, revealing arm-thick cracks.

The soul storm came quickly and left just as fast; after raging for a few seconds, it vanished.

Only then did the crowd see that Lin Feng and Cao Ying had each stepped back about three paces.

You're strong; those earlier tests, you indeed had something hidden.

Cao Ying's slender jade arms slowly unfolded, her soft, serpentine figure causing many men present to feel improper urges.

However, Lin Feng dared not be careless, his eyes carefully fixed on Cao Ying opposite.

Then, smiling slowly, he replied, "Miss Cao Ying, weren't you like that in the previous test as well."

Indeed. If so, let's decide the victor with a single move next!

Cao Ying smiled charmingly, her flawless jade hand gently extending before her like a work of art, making one unable to resist wanting to hold it in the palm and play with it.

Hehe, exactly what I had in mind.

Lin Feng also expressed agreement with the former's proposal.

Then this little lady will make a fool of herself!

Upon hearing that, Cao Ying's smile grew even more alluring.

Her slender, fair jade hand slowly reached out and immediately formed a strange seal.

And as the seal took shape, everyone in the hall suddenly sensed.

A majestic, vast soul power was rapidly forming in Cao Ying's palm.

Faintly, people could see a barely visible seal within the distorted space.

Is this what they call the 'Soul Seal'?

Lin Feng's gaze fixed on that seal before Cao Ying, and he thought to himself.

For something that has appeared several times in the original work, he naturally hasn't forgotten it.

At the same time, Lin Feng's ocean-like soul power swiftly circulated along a specific path.

The soul power suddenly condensed at extreme speed, and in an instant turned into an invisible spike before him.

Soul technique?!

Seeing Lin Feng's change, everyone in the hall's expressions shifted dramatically, their faces filled with shock.

How could he have that!

Observing the former's actions, Dan Xuan, who had returned to the Dan family's seats, exclaimed in surprise.

According to the news his Dan family received, Lin Feng is a cultivator who climbed up from the bottom step by step.

By common sense, he should not possibly possess such an extremely rare soul technique!

Maybe he had some fortuitous encounter.

Dan Chen's beautiful eyes gazed at Lin Feng, who was far away earnestly performing the soul technique, and she speculated.

At this moment, she too felt a bit of curiosity toward Lin Feng in the arena.

As for the examination ground within, Cao Ying kept her jade hand maintaining that strange seal.

Her crimson beautiful eyes stared in astonishment at Lin Feng's unexpected action.

Then she broke into a smile and said softly, "I originally wanted to remind you a bit, but I didn't expect you to also know soul technique; since that's the case, let's decide the victor!"

As soon as the words fell, the former's hand seal shifted lightning-fast, producing a bewildering illusion.

A cold shout rang out, and immediately a clear, cold sound transmitted from her rosy lips.

"Soul Profound Seal Palm!"

Just as the shout fell, the massive soul power on Cao Ying's jade hand instantly solidified.

A soul hand seal resembling her palm shot out like lightning.

Terrifying soul power forcibly tore open a black rift in the space before her.

Although the soul hand seal is intangible, that strange pressure, even from afar, makes people somewhat breathless.

"Soul Severing Spike!"

Lin Feng burst out a shout, and the invisible spike condensed before him silently and swiftly stabbed toward Cao Ying's soul hand seal.

"Bang!"

The soul spike and hand seal collided violently in an instant.

Invisible soul ripples surged out from the point of collision.

The floor of the assessment field rolled out a wave of qi energy at this moment.

The hard black stone slab also burst with a bang, shattering into fragments all over the ground.

Their soul techniques eroded each other, and Lin Feng's body was also shaken back over ten meters by that terrifying invisible qi force.

Only after sliding to the edge of the assessment field did he gradually stop.

As for Cao Ying opposite, she was no better off.

At this moment, her alluring figure was less than a fist's distance from the red line.

"Phew, if I slid back a little more, I'd be out of bounds."

Seeing the red line behind her, Cao Ying felt relieved in her heart.

"Whoosh~"

Just as the former was relieved, an invisible small hand hidden beneath the soul spike suddenly shot toward him at high speed.

"Uh-oh, this guy's attack still hides a trick!"

And Cao Ying, whose soul power was extremely strong, also sensed something amiss.

Immediately, she frantically mobilized her soul power, trying to block that invisible arm.

But lacking combat experience, she was still a step too late.

Before her soul protection could form, that invisible arm arrived before her eyes.

Subsequently, in her dazed expression, the soul arm lightly flicked her brow.

"Ouch~"

Suddenly being hit like that, Cao Ying instinctively closed her beautiful eyes, covered the spot with her jade hand, and let out a cry of pain from her rosy lips.

And her figure, already at the edge of the red line, instantly retreated another half meter, completely leaving the red circle range.
