Chapter 281: Lei Shen Finger! All Eliminated!

"What the fuck? This is absolute defense!"

"With this move, the team championship is definitely Jin University's!"

"Indeed, this damage reduction is simply too terrifying..."

As expected,

Seeing that Yao Fang, a mid-level fourth-rank, had inflicted no damage even after using an S-rank combat technique, the audience was left stunned.

On the arena, Yao Fang herself was also taken aback:

"My S-rank combat technique... reduced all the way to this?"

Keep in mind,

This was with Gu Wan's Ten Thousand Turn Spiritual Light amplification!

Without that amplification, the damage would've been even worse!!

"Three S-rank elemental defense shields, plus one SS-rank life sharing—this effect is normal.

But it's not unsolvable.

Let me try..."

Xu Jingming's eyes narrowed as he grasped the shield's damage-reduction effect; faint golden lightning began to swirl around his body.

"Captain, you're going all out?" Yao Fang's eyes lit up.

"Since the teacher said to use Formation No. 1, we might as well give them a surprise."

Xu Jingming took a deep breath.

Crackling—

Golden lightning surged violently!

Next, his piercing, resolute eyes transformed into brilliant golden dragon pupils!

His stature shot up to two meters two, wreathed in golden lightning.

A powerful, terrifying dragon aura exploded outward from him!!

"Finally, this form feels more natural."

Xu Jingming, who hadn't entered Thunder Extreme State in a long time, wore a satisfied smile.

Beside him, Yao Fang's eyelid twitched, and he instinctively stepped back beside Kong Shi.

SS-rank ability combined with the aura of a ninth-rank dragon beast emperor—even as a mid-level fourth-rank ability user, he could barely endure it.

"What the hell! Lei Di isn't a lightning ability user—can he do this too?"

"This must be a special body-cultivation combat technique. Looks pretty cool."

"Yeah, there's a brutal, dominant aura to it."

"..."

Xu Jingming's entry into Thunder Extreme State left the audience astonished.

Some spectators near the arena felt as if they'd wandered into the territory of a top-tier ferocious beast.

Their hearts pounded, their minds tense and uneasy.

Meanwhile, several young girls stared at Xu Jingming's monstrous, beast-like physique.

Without realizing it, their cheeks flushed slightly.

"Thunder Extreme State? We knew you had this trick!"

Unlike the audience's shock, the Jin University team seemed to have anticipated this.

Their captain, Han Shan, was utterly confident:

"Xu Jingming, your Thunder Extreme State greatly boosts your physical strength, but your ability enhancement? Not so impressive.

I advise you to surrender now—otherwise, when we really start fighting, don't blame us for being merciless."

"You're so sure you can swallow us whole?"

Xu Jingming shook his head. "Gu Xuejie, give me the amplification."

"Got it. Been waiting for this moment!"

Behind him, Gu Wan, wearing black-rimmed glasses, smiled and cried out: "Spiritual Light Blessing!"

BOOM!!

Blinding holy light erupted from Gu Wan and flooded entirely into Xu Jingming's body.

Spiritual Light Blessing!

S-rank support combat technique!

Instantly after applying it to Xu Jingming, his already overwhelming aura surged to a new level!

The terrifying aura caused the Jin University team to pale slightly.

Zhou Chao, who had been pierced through the right chest by Xu Jingming in the individual competition, felt his heart skip—he instinctively glanced at Han Shan:

"Captain, doesn't Xu Jingming's aura feel... unnaturally strong?"

"Don't worry. Xu Jingming's still only a high-level third-rank—he can't break through our absolute defense!"

The SS-rank combat technique Life Sharing was a skill Han Shan had trained for two full years to master.

Naturally, he was supremely confident.

But at that moment, a low, authoritative voice suddenly rang out:

"Lei Shen Finger!"

As the words fell, the clear sky above nine o'clock in the morning erupted with thunderous roars.

"Thunder?"

Han Shan blinked, instinctively looking up.

From Xu Jingming, two hundred meters away, a golden lightning column surged upward—condensed into form!

Rising into the sky, straight into the clouds!

Boom boom boom~~~

The next instant,

The thunder grew denser, and a colossal golden finger slowly descended from the heavens, accompanied by thunderclaps!

It was a finger forged entirely from golden lightning!

Its entire surface blazed with brilliant golden light, etched with mysterious, arcane patterns.

The moment this finger appeared above the gymnasium,

Tens of thousands of spectators felt a divine, awe-inspiring aura.

"What combat technique is this? Such terrifying energy fluctuations?!"

"I sense the presence of a deity on it!"

"A miracle! This is a miracle!"

"..."

The audience had just been discussing Xu Jingming's transformation.

The moment the finger appeared, they all held their breath.

Some religious followers immediately knelt and prayed devoutly to the finger.

"C... aptain, isn't the aura on that finger... too terrifying?"

Zhou Chao swallowed hard, his face filled with dread.

"Don't worry—we'll hold it!"

Han Shan hadn't expected Xu Jingming to unleash a technique this terrifying.

But their strategy was built on defense—they had to endure it!

"Everyone, max out your ability output!"

"Yes!"

Everyone knew this was the critical moment—they pushed their abilities to the limit, unleashing techniques nonstop!

Hummm~~~

Before the three layers of S-rank elemental shields, additional elemental defenses materialized.

Simultaneously, the glow from the SS-rank Life Sharing linking the five of them grew even brighter!

At that exact moment, the Lei Shen Finger struck!

Boom! Boom! Boom!...

Under the impact of the colossal golden finger, the elemental shields shattered like paper!

After smashing through the final S-rank elemental shield, the finger's energy had weakened considerably.

"If we withstand this residual impact, victory will be ours!

Li Ran, activate your S-rank technique now!"

Like a desperate gambler, Han Shan's eyes turned bloodshot as he roared.

Another ability user, possessing an A-rank healing ability, unleashed his prepped technique:

"Life Tide!"

Splash splash splash~~~

Warm, clear springs surrounded each person's body, healing any injury instantly!

BOOM!!

The dimmed Lei Shen Finger finally slammed into the Jin University team, and violent golden lightning exploded outward!

A mushroom cloud of lightning rose slowly, and the area where the Jin Da representative team stood was instantly engulfed by dense thunderbolts!

"Shattered it?"

"Not sure—don't know whether Lei Di's Lei Shen Finger is stronger, or Jin Da's Absolute Defense."

Under the spectators' eager gaze, it took several minutes before the golden lightning swirling across the arena gradually dissipated.

What emerged before their eyes was an alloy surface, as if plowed over by a missile—pitted and uneven!

Upon that alloy surface, all five members of Jin Da were protected within the arena's defensive energy barrier!

A single Lei Shen Finger had eliminated every single member of Jin Da!
