Chapter 387: Saved Face

Whoosh!

A blinding, dazzling Light Falcon arrow sliced through the long sky, pointing straight at the High-Grade Green Spirit Puppet.

The Light Falcon arrow was too fast; aside from the Purple Radiance Instructors watching the battle, everyone present could only see a streak of flowing light flash past their eyes, and that Green Spirit Puppet was even more sluggish; before it could react, the brilliant light roared upon it.

Then it struck directly at its waist and abdomen.

At the Green Spirit Puppet's waist and abdomen, an energy vortex surged forth, attempting to resist this attack.

But the power contained within the Light Falcon arrow had also reached a truly astonishing degree; those layers of energy vortex were continuously melted away in just a few breaths, and then the energy vortex vanished, and the Light Falcon arrow struck the Green Spirit Puppet's body.

In that instant, the massive power directly shook the Green Spirit Puppet flying backward, and the armor at its waist and abdomen developed cracks, yet it never shattered.

From those cracks, green energy threads spread, binding them tightly together, ensuring it never broke apart.

Li Luo also noticed this situation; immediately his brows furrowed slightly. This defensive power was too resilient; even his arrow, fired with all his might, failed to pierce through it.

"Still a little short."

In a flash of lightning and fire, Li Luo decisively sheathed the Light Falcon Bow, drew his twin blades, and his figure shot forth; the Phase Power within his body rotated at high speed once more, then spread onto the blade bodies.

At the blade edges, waves shimmered.

Li Luo tilted the blade tips slightly upward, then suddenly slashed down.

"Thousand Flowing Water Blade Art!"

A gorgeous wave of water blade light flew forth accompanying the blade's slash; within it, water light flowed, resembling a flying waterfall, yet this seemingly gentle waterfall contained an extremely astonishing penetrating power.

The five Purple Radiance Instructors watched Li Luo's follow-up strike and shook their heads slightly; although this blade was beautiful, it was still a bit insufficient. The Green Spirit Puppet's armor was exceptionally resilient; if Li Luo's two explosive moves failed to crush it, the armor would gradually repair itself, and at that time, Li Luo's quick battle would be dragged into a protracted fight.

"Pity, just a little short..." Instructor Cao Sheng shook his head.

"Eh..."

Instructor Mi Er suddenly made a soft exclamation, saying, "This time's 'Thousand Flowing Water Blade Art' seems to have a faster flow speed."

Upon hearing this, the several Purple Radiance Instructors finally noticed that the flow of Water Phase Power within Li Luo's 'Thousand Flowing Water Blade Art' this time indeed seemed to have become a bit faster, and the special point of this Phase Art was to use flow speed to drive Phase Power, forming extremely domineering cutting and penetration.

Therefore, an increase in flow speed would also enhance the power of this Phase Art.

However, to elevate the 'Thousand Flowing Water Blade Art' to this step not only imposed strict requirements on one's own Phase Power but also required an exceptionally profound understanding of this Phase Art, and Li Luo, hadn't he only encountered this Phase Art for a short time?

While the Purple Radiance Instructors were puzzled, Li Luo remained calm; the increase in flow speed and power of the 'Thousand Flowing Water Blade Art' was naturally because he had integrated Light Phase Power into it to make some subtle adjustments; his Water Light Phase was demonstrating its effect once again at this moment.

This was one of the advantages of possessing dual Phases; any Phase Art in his hands, as long as he could perfectly make some fine adjustments, could naturally have its power enhanced; this month of special training was not in vain for Li Luo; after countless attempts, he had successfully improved the 'Thousand Flowing Water Blade Art'.

So, this blade now should be enough.

Hum!

The water wave blade light swept through the void; the next instant, it passed directly through the High-Grade Green Spirit Puppet's waist and abdomen, sharp energy bloomed forth, and then quickly extinguished.

Li Luo looked at the Green Spirit Puppet holding a giant axe, walking step by step toward him, his eyes calm.

After several steps, when the Green Spirit Puppet arrived before him, the giant axe in its hand fell off, and then its entire body split in two at the waist and abdomen, slowly collapsing.

When this Green Spirit Puppet collapsed, it instantly attracted the attention of almost everyone present.

Qin Qin Zhulu couldn't help but show shock in his eyes; while he was still trapped in a bitter battle, Li Luo had already ended the fight over there? Who exactly was the one in the Phase Transformation Stage?

This perverted combat power simply made Qin Qin Zhulu feel a bit lost; originally he thought that since he had broken through to the Phase Transformation Stage first this time, the gap between him and Li Luo should be enough to make up for, but he didn't expect... he was still naive.

And Student Xin Fu, Lu Qing'er, Bai Bai Mengmeng and others couldn't help but show joyful expressions on their faces; Li Luo had defeated the Green Spirit Puppet first, and now the originally deadlocked situation would instantly be revitalized.

On another platform, Wang Wang Hejiu was the first to discover this scene; because he had been secretly watching Li Luo's side, when he saw the Green Spirit Puppet defeated by Li Luo, his steps stumbled, and he almost got split by an axe from the Green Spirit Puppet in front of him.

"Wang Wang Hejiu, what are you doing?!" Du Ze Duze Beixuan scolded angrily; although they had a numerical advantage, they were actually being forced into extreme peril by these Green Spirit Puppets, yet Wang Wang Hejiu was still slacking off here.

Wang Wang Hejiu's face turned gloomy, saying, "Li Luo has defeated a Green Spirit Puppet."

Du Ze Duze Beixuan's sword light shook violently, a trace of horror surged in his eyes, and he couldn't help but glance with the corner of his eye toward the distant direction, indeed seeing the Green Spirit Puppet collapsed beneath Li Luo's feet.

"How is this possible?! He is no different from us, only at the Fifth Mark strength!" Du Ze Duze Beixuan's mouth corners twitched; the three of them here combined could only barely hold on, yet Li Luo defeated a Green Spirit Puppet one-on-one?

This efficiency is even higher than Ye Ye Qiuding's!

Possessing dual Phases, is it that demonic?! Have the rules of Phase Power levels completely failed on him?!

"Captain Ye, please hurry up; Li Luo is already ahead!" Wang Wang Hejiu shouted in a deep voice.

Ye Ye Qiuding was currently fighting the Green Spirit Puppet with extreme intensity, and the situation was gradually shifting; give him a little more time, and victory would be secure.

But Wang Wang Hejiu's sudden voice immediately stirred up a storm of waves in his heart; fortunately, he still had some depth, did not lose his footing because of it, but gritted his teeth and began to accelerate his assault.

However, amidst the assault, there was inevitably a touch of impatience; obviously, Li Luo's battle results on that side had still caused him considerable impact.

But regarding the changes on their side, Li Luo had no mood to pay attention; after dealing with this Green Spirit Puppet, he paused briefly, and then his figure shot forth like lightning; the target he chose this time was precisely Qin Qin Zhulu's side.

Although Qin Qin Zhulu had fallen into a disadvantage, if he and Li Luo joined hands, they should be able to achieve victory in the fastest time.

Li Luo's arrival made Qin Qin Zhulu exhale a huge breath of relief.

"Quick battle, quick decision; there is no time to drag on," Li Luo reminded in a deep voice; his dual Phase fusion power could not last too long; once time dragged on, his state would continuously weaken.

Qin Qin Zhulu nodded, then immediately drove his own Phase Power to the extreme; a low tiger roar sounded, and then he charged straight forward, fearlessly colliding with that Green Spirit Puppet.

The following battle was a race against time.

The combined effort of Li Luo and Qin Qin Zhulu began to yield results quickly; when Ye Ye Qiuding's side finally crushed a Green Spirit Puppet, the second Green Spirit Puppet on Li Luo's side had also begun to collapse.

Several minutes later, the second Green Spirit Puppet collapsed.

Then the two did not stop for a moment, rushing straight toward Student Xin Fu and Lu Qing'er's side; at this time, in this battle circle, Bai Bai Mengmeng and Yin Yin Yue had already been injured and withdrawn, leaving only Student Xin Fu and Lu Qing'er two people gritting their teeth and struggling hard.

Their persistence finally received a reward.

The arrival of Li Luo and Qin Qin Zhulu, these two fresh forces, completely relieved their pressure, so the situation that followed became safe despite some scares.

On the high platform, the five Purple Radiance Instructors were looking down at the two platforms below with complex emotions; the battle had continued to this extent, and in fact, the outcome of victory and defeat had already begun to take shape... although Wang Wang Hejiu and Ye Ye Qiuding's side were attacking like madmen now, one step slow, every step slow.

Shen Shen Jinxiao's leisure of pouring and drinking for himself had stopped at some unknown time; he looked down without expression, his hand gripping the wine cup.

Cao Sheng and the other Purple Radiance Instructors had somewhat strange expressions on their faces, with a hint of smiles in their eyes; this result was also somewhat beyond their expectations.

Wang Wang Hejiu brought the Second Star Academy team as external aid, yet in the end still fell behind... if this matter gets out, the First Star Academy will truly have some face to show.

This young man Li Luo is truly hard to figure out.

Compared to the restraint of the other mentors, Mentor Xi Chan simply smiled lightly, the thin veil trembling faintly. One could imagine that beneath the veil her cheeks were already full of smiles. She gazed at the platform where Li Luo and the others were, and when the third Azure Spirit Puppet was finally shattered, her slender upper body straightened slightly and relaxed.

Then her gaze turned toward Shen Shen Jinxiao, and she said, "Mentor Shen Shen Jinxiao, to help the reputation of our One-Star House, you've truly spared no effort. Allow me, on behalf of all the students of One-Star House, to express our gratitude to you here and now."

Shen Shen Jinxiao's face was expressionless, and he said nothing. Only the wine in the cup held in his hand had quietly, unnoticed, evaporated.
