Chapter 568: Elementalist Xu Jingming! Powerful suppression!

"I never said I was just a martial artist."

On the large arena, the tall Xu Jingming stands firmly there.

A golden halo of light bloomed with dazzling radiance behind him, complementing the violent thunder that was practically ravaging the entire arena.

He is like the legendary Thunder God, holy and majestic.

"Elemental weapon? Is Thunder Emperor trying to fight Andre with elementalist means? But isn't his strongest point close-quarters combat?"

"Not necessarily; haven't you noticed? Thunder Emperor's elemental weapon doesn't affect his use of weapons.

I estimate he just wants to boost his talent; the main attack is still close-quarters combat."

"That's true; after all, it's Grandmaster-level spear technique; the close-quarters advantage is too great."

"......"

Among all the contestants in the Global Genius Exchange Tournament, only Xu Jingming has a weapon proficiency that has reached the Grandmaster level!

Therefore, as the spectators discuss, they speculate that Xu Jingming will not abandon this advantage.

However, Xu Jingming in the arena flips his right hand and puts the Liuyun Jin Feng Spear directly into his space ring.

With equal strength, an elementalist has absolute suppression over a martial artist!

Especially since Andre's ice-type talent possesses a terrifying deceleration effect.

Although he could fight in close quarters, there is no need to use his disadvantage to fight the other party's advantage.

Of course,

If he activates Thunder Storm Mode, no matter how powerful Andre's elementalist means are, he could directly crush him with violence.

But having finally encountered an opponent of the same level, Xu Jingming also wants to try if his elementalist means can defeat him head-on.

According to his expectations, having cultivated the SSS-rank mental cultivation technique "Lei Hai Guan Xiang" to the fourth layer.

To achieve this, it shouldn't be considered particularly difficult.

"Come on! Let's see which of us two elementalists is stronger!"

The lightning in Xu Jingming's eyes becomes increasingly dazzling, especially in the holy aura he emits, which seems to suppress a hint of brutality!

"Thunder Prison!"

He lifts his right hand and makes a grasping motion in the void toward Andre's location!

Crackle—

Violent golden lightning blooms above Andre's head.

Thunder Prison, this restriction-type A-rank battle technique, has already been upgraded by Xu Jingming to full proficiency.

Once released, strands of thick lightning almost close in the blink of an eye, locking Andre in place.

"Frost Tornado!!"

Andre roars, and piercing frost gathers around him, forming a strong cold ice tornado!

Whoosh—

The wind howls, and the frost tornado actually lifts Andre up, dodging out before the Thunder Prison closes!

Frost Tornado, an A+-rank battle technique, can be used for attack or to lift a psychic for evasion.

This battle technique has been cultivated by Andre to Grandmaster-level proficiency, and releasing it is also extremely handy.

Xu Jingming, shrouded in lightning in the distance, doesn't seem surprised by this scene.

Instead, he points his right hand from afar: "Heavenly Thunder Art!"

Rumble~~~

In the sky, dark clouds roll, with violent lightning flashing within.

The next moment,

The world brightens, and a golden lightning bolt about the thickness of a bucket suddenly strikes down from the clouds!

The speed of lightning is the speed of light!

Even with the frost tornado, Andre knows very well that he has no way to dodge this strike!

However, he has also been prepared for this!

He sees six smooth, mirror-like ice crystal shields, about one person tall, guarding his body at all times.

Even above his head and under his feet, there is one each!

Six-Prism Ice Shield!

Defense-type S-rank battle technique; since he can't dodge, he can only take it head-on!

Rumble!!

The golden lightning strikes the Six-Prism Ice Shield, and almost in the blink of an eye, it annihilates this ice shield!

And the remaining lightning, after penetrating the combat suit, strikes Andre, not causing particularly high damage.

It only makes his expression turn slightly pale.

But even so, it still gives Andre a start.

Both are S-rank battle techniques; defense-type battle techniques should be more stable than attack-type ones.

In other words, his Six-Prism Ice Shield should have been completely sufficient to block this thunderbolt without him getting injured.

The current situation only explains one result: either Xu Jingming's Heavenly Thunder Art proficiency is higher than his Six-Prism Ice Shield.

Or Xu Jingming's mental power is higher than his!

"My S-rank Six-Prism Ice Shield has already been cultivated to high-level proficiency.

Looking at the release speed of Xu Jingming's Heavenly Thunder, the proficiency should also be at the high level.

That is to say, the Heavenly Thunder being able to shatter the Six-Prism Ice Shield is entirely because his mental power is even stronger than mine!

But how is this possible?! I am 26 years old this year, Xu Jingming is only 20; I have a full six years more cultivation time than him!

It's one thing for his rank to be on par with mine, but how is his mental cultivation technique even more profound than mine?!"

Andre lets out a silent scream in his heart.

The combat power of a psychic is determined by many aspects.

His and Xu Jingming's talent rating and rank are the same, so they are competing on whose battle technique proficiency is higher.

Whose mental cultivation technique is more profound, and whose combat experience is richer!

He originally thought that at 26, he should be firmly in the upper hand, but he didn't expect to be suppressed instead!

"How exactly does this Xu Jingming cultivate? His battle technique power is even stronger than Andre's!"

"His rank improvement speed is fast, and even his battle technique proficiency and mental cultivation technique haven't fallen behind; what kind of monster is this?"

Inside the VIP lounge,

A group of Rank 8 and Rank 9 psychics with sharp eyes also see this point and exclaim in low voices.

"Thunder Emperor! Strongest!"

"Thunder Emperor! Strongest!"

"......"

The cheering and shouting of Daxia people ring out in succession; they can't see too many details.

But they know that Xu Jingming has successfully suppressed Andre!

"Thunder Ball Art!"

"Lightning Chain!"

"Thunder Spear!"

"......"

Strike while the iron is hot!

Andre's Six-Prism Ice Shield disappears, and Xu Jingming also spares no effort in releasing various long-range spell-type battle techniques!

Although he hasn't activated the SSS-rank battle technique "Thunder God Descends", the smooth spellcasting still doesn't have a single stutter!!

Rumble—

Crackle—

On the entire arena, golden lightning flashes.

Andre, who is also an SS-rank psychic awakener and has crushed his way here.

Can only be forced into passive defense against the terrifying lightning battle techniques that come in waves like the ocean.

The occasional counterattack is easily resolved by Xu Jingming!

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! How can he be this strong?"

Andre's face is ferocious; the feeling of frustration in his heart has nowhere to vent.

As an ice-type SS-rank psychic awakener, he used to crush opponents with various spells.

Without Rank 7 or higher strength, there was no way to pose any threat to him at all.

But now, he is being firmly suppressed by Xu Jingming of the same rank, without even a chance to counterattack! ===== CHAPTER 569 =====
