Chapter 397: Seven Star Heavenly Pearl

"Seven Tian Zhu... the Eldest Princess's talent and foundation are indeed very solid."

While countless people marveled at the seven slowly rotating cyan light orbs behind the Eldest Princess, awe also surfaced in Li Luo's eyes.

The Tian Gang Jiang rank has two layers of realms.

The Tian Zhu Jing.

The Tian Xiang Jing.

The so-called Tian Zhu Jing is because, upon entering the Tian Gang Jiang rank, one's own Xiang Li will gradually compress and condense to form an energy-compressed body shaped like a pill; this object is called a Tian Zhu. The Tian Zhu is extremely peculiar; once the Xiang Li transforms through it, it will become even more sharp and powerful.

Moreover, once the Tian Zhu is condensed and formed, because it is an extremely compressed energy body itself, its attraction to the energy of heaven and earth will also become clearer and stronger; during battle, once activated, it can be said that combat power surges greatly.

It is said that within the Tian Zhu Jing, there is a saying of nine-star Tian Zhu, meaning that if cultivated to the extreme, one can condense nine Tian Zhu; however, those who can reach this step are far too rare, because the condensation of each Tian Zhu not only has extremely strict requirements for one's own talent and potential but also requires extremely vast cultivation resources; therefore, the vast majority of people in the Tian Gang Jiang rank, when their Tian Zhu condenses to around five, will choose to begin breaking through to the Tian Xiang Jing, and only those with true confidence and strength will choose to continuously condense Tian Zhu, waiting until they reach some limit before choosing to break through.

This kind of breakthrough after reaching the limit, whether in foundation or future achievement, will surpass those with five Tian Zhu.

It can be said that the Tian Zhu Jing is a realm for accumulating foundation.

This is also why everyone was so amazed upon seeing the Eldest Princess possess seven Tian Zhu, because from this one can see the Eldest Princess's expectations and ambition for higher realms.

And right now, the Eldest Princess revealing her seven Tian Zhu obviously means that the battle between the two sides has gone full throttle.

Boom! Boom!

Accompanying the continuous rotation of the seven Tian Zhu behind the Eldest Princess, the energy of this heaven and earth boiled up at this moment; everyone could clearly see the energy of heaven and earth seemingly turning into tornadoes, then continuously converging towards the location of those seven Tian Zhu.

Light flickered between the seven Tian Zhu, connecting with each other like a halo, and within the halo, terrifying energy condensed, causing the void where it resided to become somewhat distorted.

With the Tian Zhu manifested, the Eldest Princess's expression also became a bit more solemn; she did not say a single word, curled her slender two fingers, then slowly extended them, pointing remotely downwards at Zhongnan.

Behind her, the seven Tian Zhu trembled, and extreme, astonishing energy surged into the Eldest Princess's body like a torrent.

At her fingertip, cyan light was brilliant.

The Eldest Princess's red lips parted slightly: "Feng Luan Ling Guang."

In that instant, it seemed as if the clear cry of a Luan bird rang out throughout heaven and earth; only to see a slender cyan stream of light suddenly shoot out from the Eldest Princess's fingertip, and upon that stream of light, it seemed as if wild winds flowed, emitting an extremely astonishing sharpness and penetrative power.

Obviously, the Eldest Princess also knew Zhongnan's defense was powerful, so she had prepared a strong Xiang technique specifically for breaking defenses.

With this move by the Eldest Princess, Zhongnan's expression below also became extremely solemn; he took a deep breath, and the Xiang Li within his body also erupted without reservation at this moment; only to see light orbs form behind him, and a rough count revealed there were actually a full seven!

It was just that the brilliance of that seventh light orb was slightly weaker than the other six.

He stomped the ground, Xiang Li erupted, and a low shout rang out: "Nine Heavens Stone Gate!"

Boom! Boom!

The earth trembled violently at this moment; only to see gray-white Xiang Li surge skyward from the ground, then directly form ancient stone gates one after another in front of Zhongnan; the stone gates were thick and weathered, with countless strange light patterns upon them, giving people a sense of solidity like a mountain range.

Whoosh!

The cyan stream of light instantly swept over, directly colliding with those ancient stone gates; immediately, a huge energy shockwave erupted, literally tearing off a corner of this Lin Hai.

The three-layer stone gates instantly shattered.

But six layers still stood firmly.

But this was not yet over, because before the smoke and dust had even dissipated, three more cyan streams of light pierced through the void, and accompanying the booming roar, the remaining six stone gates were instantly pierced through, while the three cyan lights still had one left, which, at lightning speed, shot directly at Zhongnan's body.

The cyan light swept past his eyes; Zhongnan finally took a step forward, that foot seeming as heavy as a thousand pounds, causing even the ground to tremble violently.

His arms crossed before his chest; as the gray-white Xiang Li rose, his arms seemed to turn into ancient rock.

Bang!

The cyan light shot directly onto his arms; in that instant, an energy shockwave erupted, the ground around Zhongnan began to crack continuously, and his figure was even knocked flying back hundreds of meters by that massive force, his feet plowing two deep tracks into the ground.

Finally, Zhongnan stabilized his figure; his expression remained steady, a patch of cracks appeared on his arms, but with the flow of gray-white Xiang Li, those cracks were gradually dissipating.

Hiss!

On the tiered stands, the sound of people inhaling sharply in cold air rang out in waves; no one expected Zhongnan's defense to be so perverted; even with his flesh and blood directly resisting one of the Eldest Princess's attacks, he remained completely intact.

The strongest shield of the Blue Abyss Holy Academy, truly living up to its name.

Moreover, anyone could see that Zhongnan had not counterattacked once up to this point; obviously, all his abilities were on the defensive end, and his goal was also very clear: he did not expect to defeat the Eldest Princess, but he could drag it out until the time ran out.

Countless students couldn't help but glance at a high platform somewhere; there was a bronze tripod there, and inside the tripod was inserted a half-meter-long large incense stick; when the large incense burned out, if no victory or defeat had been decided, it would be a draw.

While many students worried, the Eldest Princess standing in mid-air showed no change in expression; she gazed with her phoenix eyes at Zhongnan below; for this outcome, she actually had some expectation beforehand, because she knew more intelligence, and had even studied some of Zhongnan's battle data; that perverted-level defense of his was indeed very headache-inducing.

However, she had also made some preparations for this; next, she would just try and see who could last until the very end.

She was not someone who would easily admit defeat.

With this thought, the Eldest Princess lowered her eyes slightly; only to see the green Luan light shadow appear again beneath her feet, and then the seven Tian Zhu behind her back slowly descended at this moment, one by one falling into the green Luan light shadow's body.

Cry!

With the seven Tian Zhu falling in, that green Luan light shadow instantly erupted with a clear cry; the originally somewhat illusory body actually began to gradually become solid at this moment; from a distance, it looked like a real green Luan bird flapping its wings and flying.

An astonishing aura of ferocity radiated out.

The Eldest Princess stood tall on top of the green Luan's head, and then her red lips parted slightly, with a soft voice ringing out among these mountains.

"Green Luan Secret Technique, Green Luan Fire."
