Itachi, a cultivator of eye techniques, why compete? Let it to me—I’ll owe Itachi a favor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia looked at Cui Jue, now ranked fourth, his expression calm: “Soul refinement is crucial for any cultivator.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The training camp’s rules state resources are earned through strength and mission contributions. I have no intention of yielding this qualification.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cui Jue’s eyes flickered with a dark glow, his tone growing colder: “So Itachi’ve decided to fight me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia smiled, rolling his wrists: “I’ve long wanted to test the strength of a prodigy who’s advanced to Wang Hou. Why wait? Let’s settle it on the sparring platform?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine!” Cui Jue replied without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The news spread rapidly: Jiang Xia, ranked seventh on the Prodigy Ranking, was challenging Cui Jue, ranked fourth (formerly fifth)! This was the most elite confrontation the training camp had ever seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once again, the sparring platform was packed to capacity; new Wang Hou like Akatsuki Jin and Du Gu Yun appeared in the spectator seats, eager to see just how strong Jiang Xia had become after his repeated miracles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Zhan personally served as referee, his expression grim. He knew neither man was easy to handle—they would fight without holding back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the platform, Cui Jue struck first. He knew Jiang Xia’s eye techniques were unpredictable and refused to give him time to prepare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ghost Soldiers!” Cui Jue’s yin energy surged violently, forming countless grotesque ghostly shadows that shrieked piercingly and flooded toward Jiang Xia like a tidal wave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These shadows were not mere illusions—they condensed pure yin energy and resentment, capable of corroding spiritual power and disrupting the mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia’s left eye instantly activated—the Sharingan, its crimson pupil spinning with tomoe. “Kamui!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kamui activated—the first dozen ghostly shadows were instantly torn apart and swallowed by warped space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the number of shadows was overwhelming, pressing forward relentlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, Cui Jue’s figure vanished within the shadows, his aura becoming erratic and elusive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Found Itachi!” Jiang Xia’s right eye Rinnegan rippled outward, its powerful perception instantly locking onto Cui Jue, who hid within the ghostly masses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shinra Tensei!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tremendous suction force instantly gripped Cui Jue, forcibly dragging him out from the shadows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cui Jue’s expression shifted slightly, but he remained composed, slamming his palms together: “Yinming Soul Shackles!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several pitch-black chains shot from his sleeves—not toward Jiang Xia, but wrapping tightly around himself, forcibly resisting the Shinra Tensei’s pull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, the other ends of the chains lashed toward Jiang Xia’s mind, a direct soul attack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Soul attack?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia’s brow lifted, Rinnegan activated: “Rinnegan: Samsara of Heavenly Life!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A powerful repulsive force erupted from him, blasting away the incoming soul chains and surrounding ghostly shadows alike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Truly troublesome!” Cui Jue regarded Jiang Xia with grave seriousness—he knew conventional methods could not suppress this anomaly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jiang Xia, try my new technique!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Through the Itachi realm, I summon the Huangquan Ferry!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He bit his fingertip, using blood as a catalyst to draw a bizarre rune in midair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, the entire sparring platform’s temperature plummeted, as if connected to hell itself—a murky, lifeless phantom river appeared, its waters filled with countless tormented ghostly figures, emitting silent wails.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This phantom Huangquan carried immense suction and decay, aiming to drag Jiang Xia’s soul into its depths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the spectator seats, all faces paled—this technique, [Huangquan Ferry], touched upon the realm of law, its power terrifying; an unsuspecting mid-stage Wang Hou could be grievously wounded or even annihilated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So… so strong!” Wang Teng felt a law-level suppression from this technique far exceeding his own spellcraft.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia sensed the tremor in his soul, his expression grim. He took a deep breath and pushed his eye abilities to their limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Eternal Mangekyo pattern in his left eye spun to its maximum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Susanoo: Complete Form!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM! Vast blue spiritual energy erupted skyward—a towering, dozens-of-meters-tall Susanoo in full armor, with wings sprouting from its back, appeared like a divine demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was Jiang Xia’s first time revealing his Complete Form before others since the college entrance exam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the Complete Form Susanoo appeared, the entire sparring platform collapsed inward, expanding into a massive crater around it.\u003C\u002Fp>",1208,"2026-06-20T15:06:04.061Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","8931b80d313c9ed441d960dbb86f48786d171c561f8dcc6fe194fd4b9e18c8d2","global-high-martial-arts-starting-off-with-a-sha-chapter-91","global-high-martial-arts-starting-off-with-a-sha-chapter-89",162,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-high-martial-arts-starting-off-with-a-sha-cover.jpg"]
