Chapter 133: Master Ye, tired of swinging?

"Holy shit? That black light... that's 【Dimensional Slash】?!"

On the viewing platform, a student recognized at a glance the black light flowing along Ye Kong's blade.

"Who would've thought Ye Kong actually knows this move! Among all mid-tier skills across every class, this one's in the top five hardest to comprehend."

"Class is already this good, and his talent's this high too — are you even leaving anyone else a way to survive..."

"Looks like Lin Mo's completely done for."

"Dimensional Slash's property is spatial folding — it teleports the slash straight to the target's face, arriving in an instant!"

"Though at Ye Kong's current level, he probably can't pull off the full thing, but even teleporting a few times, that speed is something an ordinary person simply can't react to."

The students' exclamations rose one after another.

Every face wore an excited expression — the look a gambler gets when they spot hope.

Ye Kong, suspended in midair, stared down at Lin Mo on the ground.

Trying to play weak?

Trying to make me lower my guard, then take another close-range heavy punch from you just now?

Naive!

I, Ye Kong, will absolutely not fall for the same trick twice!

"Dimensional Slash!"

Whoosh——!!!

Ye Kong swung his blade violently.

A pitch-black crescent blade-light tore free from his hand.

The instant the blade-light left the edge, it vanished into thin air.

The next second,

in the empty air fifty meters away, the black light suddenly flashed!

Right after that, again at the hundred-meter mark!

This pitch-black slash left three segments of extremely rapid flickering afterimages in the air.

The final flicker had already appeared right before Lin Mo's brow!

This was 【Dimensional Slash】!

Directly using spatial folding to ignore distance and deliver the slash to the target at extreme speed!

That kind of speed is enough to leave any opponent with nowhere to dodge!

"Xiao Huo."

Lin Mo had a single thought.

'Fireball' instantly revealed an extremely cocky and excited voice.

【【'Fireball' cackles: Hehehehe... feel the pain... no wait, feel the extreme speed! Take off!】

Boom——!!!

A massive pair of flame wings suddenly unfurled behind Lin Mo.

A flash of crimson firelight streaked past.

Lin Mo vanished on the spot and reappeared in midair.

The slash that had crossed the distance struck the ground directly, cutting a bottomless fissure into the earth.

"You dodged even this?"

Ye Kong in midair, his pupils contracted sharply.

This was the first time he had missed, the first time his Dimensional Slash had failed to hit its target.

Damn it — a mage really has this kind of agility?

Ye Kong gritted his teeth, the vicious glint in his eyes growing fiercer.

"I'd like to see — you dodged once, how many more can you dodge!"

"Dimensional Chain Slash!"

Swish swish swish swish——!!!

The Tang blade in Ye Kong's hand became a blur as he swung.

If one slash won't do it, then ten! Twenty!

In an instant,

countless pitch-black blade-lights slashed out in succession.

They flickered crazily through the air, sealing off every direction of movement around Lin Mo.

However.

Lin Mo in the air displayed movement so bizarre it reached the extreme.

Under 'Fireball's near-perverted micro-control, the blazing wind-wings on his back seemed to have a life of their own.

Sidestep, spin, hard stop, dive, pull up...

Every motion was precise down to the millimeter!

Those black blade-lights flashing into existence out of thin air each grazed past the hem of his clothes, yet never managed to touch his body in the slightest!

There was even one moment.

A blade-light sliced past almost at the tip of his nose, severing a wisp of hair at his forehead.

But the fire-wings behind Lin Mo merely adjusted their angle by a hair, and his whole body performed an extremely bizarre refraction, dodging two more pursuing slashes from behind.

This entire chain of evasive maneuvers flowed like water and clouds, silky smooth to the extreme!

"Holy shit?!"

"He took off? That's Blazing Wind Wings, right? Blazing Wind Wings, and that agile?"

"This freaking agility, you'd swear he was an assassin, I swear…"

"Could this be the legendary Subtlety-level movement art?!"

"A mage who trained his movement art to this level? Does he even leave the rest of us a way to live!"

The students in the stands all gaped wide open.

Mages who could fly, they'd seen before.

But never a mage who was a hundred times more agile than freaking flying monsters!

Facing the space-system slashes that appeared and vanished like ghosts, he dodged every single one with movement art alone?

……

The edge of the arena.

Xu Wenchang watched the scene in the air, sighing with emotion again and again.

He had to admit,

this kid Ye Kong really was a genius.

At this level, he could skillfully wield 【Spatial Leap】, 【Void Stride】, and 【Dimensional Slash】.

He had even comprehended 【Dimensional Chain Slash】!

This kind of talent, even placed in past sessions, would absolutely be the undisputed number one.

What a pity, though…

Xu Wenchang's gaze fell on that agile figure in the air, and his eyes grew complicated.

But compared with Lin Mo, the gap was still far too great.

Elemental control of this caliber—and control over three elements at that, each one terrifying.

Xu Wenchang shook his head, a wry smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.

This kid Ye Kong was probably going to spend his whole life crushed beneath the mountain that was Lin Mo, never able to lift his head.

……

In the air.

Ye Kong was already drenched in sweat.

The Tang blade in his hand swung faster and faster, and the spiritual power within him drained rapidly.

"Aaaargh!"

"What the hell?"

"Why, why can't I hit him!"

"You freaking—are you a loach or something?"

Ye Kong's composure was beginning to crack.

The space-system killing moves he took such pride in were like a joke before Lin Mo.

No matter how he predicted, no matter how he sealed off escape routes.

Lin Mo could always, from some utterly impossible angle, slip out of that certain-kill formation.

Finally,

the last slash grazed past Lin Mo's shoulder.

Ye Kong stopped, gasping for breath.

The right hand gripping his blade trembled slightly.

Lin Mo's figure jerked to a halt, hovering in midair.

He lightly brushed the nonexistent dust from his shoulder and grinned at Ye Kong not far away:

"Master Ye, tired of swinging?"

Ye Kong stared at Lin Mo in disbelief:

"You… how did you do it? That was Dimensional Slash!"

Lin Mo didn't answer.

He simply slowly raised his right hand. "Since Master Ye is tired, it's my turn now."

"Hearing Xiao Huo, give this kid a little fire-element shock."

【【Fireball】 could no longer hold back: Hehehe! Tremble, mortal!】

Boom—!!!!

A terrifying wave of heat erupted violently from within Lin Mo's body!

Two golden flames ignited in Lin Mo's eyes.

Even the air began to twist and warp beneath that heat.

A colossal illusory figure of a Flame Demon materialized behind Lin Mo.

It had no features, only a pair of narrow, elongated flame eyes, gazing indifferently upon the world.

"What the hell?"

Ye Kong felt a shudder from the depths of his soul instantly sweep through his entire body.

Before he could even think it through,

Lin Mo's right hand swept out sharply.

"Flame Storm!"

A crimson-red fire tornado, under absolute control, took shape in an instant.

The originally massive high-tier arena now seemed somewhat cramped beneath this colossal firestorm.
