Chapter 62: Do You Think Only You Know Forbidden Spells?
The sixth round of the arena tournament; only 4 candidates remained at this time.
Ye Lin, Luo Jun, Zhuge Ni, and a candidate named Lin Linglin.
The other candidates had already finished their five rounds and concluded their trial for this year's college entrance examination, and the top scorer of Qingcheng this year would also be produced from among these four.
Zhuge Ni desperately wanted to face Ye Lin, but after the drawing of lots, Zhuge Ni was matched against Lin Linglin, while Ye Lin was matched against Luo Jun!
This result of the draw also made countless people feel thrilled.
They all knew Ye Lin was strong, but just how strong Ye Lin was, no one had ever seen him truly take action in reality.
And Luo Jun had just defeated Wang Zhenglin, who was also an SSS-rank class, without sustaining any injuries; he was likewise an extremely formidable existence.
The battle between Zhuge Ni and Ji Lingyu just now had already proven to them that a lower level did not necessarily mean being weak.
Therefore, there were still quite a few people who favored Luo Jun more.
The several principals of Qingcheng High School were also getting excited at this moment.
To them, this match between Luo Jun and Ye Lin was even more important than the final.
Unless Lin Linglin suddenly had a burst of potential, she could not possibly be Zhuge Ni's opponent.
And once Ye Lin defeated Luo Jun, it would mean the final battle would be a clash between two students from Qingcheng High School; no matter what, the Qingcheng top scorer would be born at Qingcheng High School.
If Luo Jun won, then their Yucai High School would still have a chance to repeat as the top scorer!
After all, for the past three years, the top scorers of Qingcheng had all walked out of Yucai High School.
"Principal Su, do you think Luo Jun's odds of winning are high?" a principal couldn't help but ask.
"That is natural. He is my student, and I have great confidence in him!" Principal Su smiled faintly, filled with an indescribable confidence.
"That is an 18th-level Forbidden Spellcaster, after all. The combat power of a Forbidden Spellcaster is already terrifying, not to mention the opponent is even higher in level than Luo Jun. Can Luo Jun truly win?" another principal was somewhat surprised.
"So what?" Principal Su said with some disdain. "In an arena match, can he really be so reckless as to cast Forbidden Spells non-stop?"
Several principals nodded in deep agreement; everyone knew the power of a Forbidden Spell was great, but Forbidden Spells were extremely damaging to the body. Unless it was a life-or-death moment, apart from the Forbidden Spellcaster class, basically no one would want to release a Forbidden Spell.
"I'm just afraid he won't be able to withstand even one Forbidden Spell," Gao Zhenyu said softly.
"Hmph, won't we know after they fight?" Principal Su snorted coldly.
On the arena, Ye Lin and Luo Jun had already displayed their respective levels.
[Luo Jun, Shadow Dragon Spear, Level 14]
[Ye Lin, Forbidden Spellcaster, Level 18]
The black spear in Luo Jun's hand pointed straight at Ye Lin, the black spear shining with a faint black light under the sunlight, as if a true dragon were lurking within it. Luo Jun's eyes were filled with surging battle intent, and a sound of dragon roars could be faintly heard.
"Ye Lin, I've finally run into you. Among all the people, you are the only one I can regard as a rival! As long as I defeat you, the top scorer of this year's college entrance exam will definitely be me!"
These words made Zhuge Ni's expression sink involuntarily; it was clear that Luo Jun didn't take her seriously at all with this remark.
Ye Lin remained silent, only silently gripping the Star Fall Heaven Scar.
And amidst everyone's anticipation, as the proctor announced the start, this battle also pulled back the curtain!
This was also Ye Lin's first battle since entering the arena tournament.
Luo Jun's figure flashed violently, pouncing toward Ye Lin like a fierce tiger.
The black spear in his hand carried the force of a thunderbolt, stabbing straight at Ye Lin's heart.
Ye Lin did not change his expression; his figure moved slightly, and the Star Fall Heaven Scar in his hand traced a brilliant star trajectory, meeting Luo Jun's black spear.
He did not use those messy Forbidden Spells, but instead used the simplest and most rustic Lifespan Blade Technique.
Luo Jun was only level 14. The power of each strike of the Lifespan Blade Technique was double that of the previous one. If nothing went wrong, it only needed to stack to about twenty layers, and the power of the Star Fall Heaven Scar would be something Luo Jun could not resist.
Moreover, by using the Lifespan Blade Technique, Ye Lin didn't have to worry about accidentally killing Luo Jun; this was the main reason.
"Using a blade?"
Luo Jun was somewhat shocked. He had only seen Ye Lin use the World-Extinguishing Wild Thunder, so he had long since prepared defenses, but he hadn't expected Ye Lin to actually pull out a blade.
A Forbidden Spellcaster who was also skilled in melee combat? How did he not know about this?
And as the black spear and the Star Fall Heaven Scar collided continuously, Luo Jun became more and more alarmed the longer they fought.
Ye Lin's blade technique looked simple, but every strike contained incomparably powerful force, and this force was constantly stacking!
The Star Fall Heaven Scar traced brilliant trajectories in the air, colliding with Luo Jun's black spear, emitting crisp, metal-like sounds and rubbing off a series of sparks.
At first, the black spear occupied the absolute upper hand, but as the number of times Ye Lin swung his blade increased, Luo Jun felt increasingly overwhelmed, and cold sweat had already seeped out on his forehead.
One force breaks ten thousand techniques; although Ye Lin only knew simple hacking and slashing, the power stacked by the Lifespan Blade Technique was simply too terrifying.
The spectators around the arena watched, dumbfounded. Where was this a Forbidden Spellcaster dueling a warrior class? This clearly looked like one warrior clashing with another warrior!
"Forbidden Spellcasters... do they all fight like this?"
"No, isn't he a Forbidden Spellcaster? Why can he trade blows with Luo Jun without casting a single Forbidden Spell? Is it this ridiculous?"
"I'm also very curious. I originally thought there would be Forbidden Spells flying everywhere, but it turned out to be this kind of scene."
The audience watching the live stream were all stunned; this battle seemed a bit different from what they had imagined.
And the several principals of Qingcheng High School had already seen the clues.
"Is it that Forbidden Spell?"
"It should be. Consuming one's own lifespan to make every blade strike stronger than the last."
"How many strikes has he swung? Is it worth it to trade one's own lifespan for a victory in an arena match?"
The several principals discussed it one after another, and Principal Su's expression was already incomparably ugly.
He never expected that Ye Lin would actually fight this hard, and he was fighting with his lifespan!
"Principal Su, didn't you say Luo Jun wouldn't necessarily lose? Judging from the current situation, he is doomed to lose," Gao Zhenyu laughed extremely happily.
"Don't be happy too early!" Principal Su gritted his teeth.
On the arena, Ye Lin's Lifespan Blade Technique had already stacked to fifteen layers, each strike carrying terrifying, immense force.
Luo Jun felt unprecedented pressure, and even the web of his thumb had been cracked, dripping with blood.
"No, if this goes on, I will definitely lose!" A trace of panic flashed in Luo Jun's eyes; the power of each of Ye Lin's strikes was growing exponentially, as if it were endless.
He had to go all out to have a chance of winning!
"Shadow Heavy Break Strike!"
Luo Jun gripped the end of the spear shaft, and the black spear was whipped toward Ye Lin like a giant pillar.
Ye Lin didn't want to block, but to avoid appearing too shocking, he still held the blade horizontally to block it.
With this block, his entire body was whipped back repeatedly.
Seeing that the strike had landed, a ruthless look flashed in the depths of Luo Jun's eyes.
"Ye Lin, do you think only you know Forbidden Spells?"
"Forbidden Spell... Dark Dragon Meteor!"
A cluster of brilliant light condensed at the tip of Luo Jun's spear; that was the Forbidden Spell he was casting with all his might.
Under this spear, the entire arena seemed to tremble, and the air was filled with a murderous intent, as if once this spear was thrust out, even a true dragon would bleed.
The moment the black spear was thrust out, it erupted with dazzling light and a deafening roar.
Ye Lin only felt a massive force coming, his body uncontrollably retreating several steps, and on his chest, a blood hole was slowly expanding, blood staining his clothes red.
He looked down, only to see that the tip of the black spear had already pierced his heart, and Luo Jun was coldly looking down at him, his eyes full of triumph and mockery.
