Arthur stood in the center of the arena, his ahoge standing firm in the Sword Domain's airflow, like an indestructible divine sword.
"What kind of Domain is this?!" Yu Henglong's expression changed drastically. He could clearly feel that the pervasive sword pressure not only forced back his lightning but also caused a sharp pain in his Spiritual Power.
There was a will within this Domain targeting his Spiritual Power!
And his Spiritual Power happened to be his weakest point.
The charge of the Shrek group also came to an abrupt halt. The tall, thin young man's wind blade had just formed when it was shattered by the Sword Domain's invisible sword energy. He grunted, a trace of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.
Ning Xin's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda dimmed slightly. As a support Soul Master, she hid at the very back, but this Domain enveloped the entire field, leaving her nowhere to hide.
Ye Xinglan was already frozen in place, her star god sword humming as it trembled in her hand.
"He uses a sword too?"
"No, is this how a sword is used?"
Yu Henglong and the others were all adjusting their Soul Power. This Domain had caught them off guard.
Only Ye Xinglan noticed something was wrong; the true killing intent was in the sky!
She raised her head, staring blankly at the sky full of sword energy.
The sky-filled sword energy, like ink-colored meteors, wove into a dense net above the arena.
Each strand of sword energy carried a chilling sharpness, gently vibrating with Arthur's breath, emitting a buzzing sword hum, as if chanting an overture to slaughter.
Wu Zhangkong, who was watching, was also stunned. This Sword Domain was different from when he first fought Arthur.
He felt Sword Intent within this Sword Domain.
Unlike his heavenly frost sword Intent, Arthur's Sword Intent was extremely pure, without anything else mixed in.
It was merely Sword Intent.
"So that's it."
Wu Zhangkong suddenly understood. He finally realized why, with Arthur's talent, he had previously found it so difficult to comprehend Sword Intent and often complained that Sword Intent was too abstract.
Because he was walking on a completely different path from everyone else.
A Sword Intent that stripped away all attributes and distractions, leaving only the essence of the sword.
This purity was far more aggressive than his heavenly frost sword Intent, like the sharpest blade, unadorned by any superfluous embellishments, capable of severing all obstacles in the world.
"Such pure Sword Intent..." Wu Zhangkong murmured softly, his fingertips caressing the heavenly frost sword he had unconsciously summoned, a hint of admiration and anticipation flashing in his eyes... "Sword-type Domain..."
Ye Xinglan gripped her star god sword tightly, her fingertips turning white from the excessive force.
She had been immersed in the Dao of the Sword since childhood, believing her understanding of the sword far surpassed her peers, but the scene before her completely overturned her perception.
A sword could actually be used like this! No Moves, no aiming, just the unfolding of a Domain, and the heavens and earth would be filled with the will of the sword.
It was as if even the air had transformed into the sharpest sword.
The star god sword in her hand hummed violently, its blade's light dimmed by more than half, because it was fearful.
"Holy crap!"
With a cry of alarm, the Sword Domain disappeared the next second, and Arthur quickly retracted it. He hadn't expected the Sword Domain to be so powerful after comprehending Sword Intent.
His original intention was just to disperse the lightning and help the Tianhai Academy members break free from their restraints.
Who knew he almost directly crushed the Shrek members.
Retract it, retract it.
The Holy Spirit Cult wouldn't allow such an awesome person to exist.
He glanced at his Tianhai Academy teammates, who were looking at him with terrified expressions.
"Why are you looking at me? Hurry up and attack!"
"Oh oh oh, yes!" The Tianhai Academy captain was the first to react. No wonder the organizers insisted on Arthur participating; he was a big shot!
What substitute? This was clearly a cheat the organizers had given them.
The captain looked at the dispirited Shrek members opposite, suddenly snapped back to attention, and slapped his thigh: "Charge! Go for it!"
The opportunity to break the Shrek myth was at hand. I must consider if this is my only chance in this life.
"Charge, charge, charge!"
The other team members instantly awoke as if from a dream. The frustration of being restrained by lightning earlier completely erupted, and their Soul Power circulated without reservation.
The four-ring attack system Soul Master punched out, sending a whistling gust of wind directly at Yu Henglong.
The auxiliary Soul Master's amplification light glowed in time, falling upon their teammates, making their Aura even stronger.
The Shrek members hadn't recovered from the pressure of the Sword Intent just now. Although the Sword Domain only existed for a few breaths, a Sword Domain with Sword Intent added to it required even Wu Zhangkong to treat it with caution, let alone them.
Yu Henglong's face was pale, the impact on his Spiritual Power hadn't faded, and his consciousness was hazy.
The tall, thin young man clutched his chest, his internal organs still throbbing from the invisible sword energy's shock. Facing Tianhai Academy's counterattack, he was temporarily unable to resist.
"Stop them!" Yu Henglong roared, forcefully gathering his Martial Souls, trying to condense a lightning defense.
The disadvantage of not having a soul spirit appeared. If a soul spirit existed, even if the person's consciousness was blurry, the soul spirit could help activate Martial Soul Abilities.
The lightning that Yu Henglong forcefully gathered was instantly shattered by a punch from a Tianhai Academy team member.
Ning Xin's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda finally glowed faintly again. Just as she was about to amplify her teammates, she was entangled by Tianhai Academy's agility-attack system Soul Master and could only dodge frantically.
The battlefield instantly became one-sided.
Ye Xinglan slumped to the ground, her eyes blank. The Domain just now had made her lose her Battle Intent.
Xu Lizhi rushed over, his voice anxious, constantly shaking her shoulders: "Sister Xinglan? Sister Xinglan!"
But Ye Xinglan's eyes remained blank, as if her soul had been extracted.
In her mind, the sky-filled sword energy and that pure, suffocating Sword Intent replayed repeatedly, like a heavy hammer, completely shattering her years of understanding and pride in the Dao of the Sword.
The star god sword fell to the ground, emitting a dull hum, as if feeling powerless for its owner.
"Yo, who's this?"
"Isn't it Sister Rongyao?"
Arthur walked over, he was very good at provoking people. In a high-pitched, sarcastic voice, he said, "Shrek cannot be insulted~"
Ye Xinglan finally reacted. She looked up at Arthur's hands, which were empty.
"Your Martial Soul is also a sword, right..." Ye Xinglan's voice was hoarse and dry.
Having been immersed in the Dao of the Sword for many years, she could feel that Arthur was holding an invisible sword in his hand.
"Can I... see your sword...?"
Ye Xinglan's reaction startled Arthur.
No, no.
Shouldn't you be furious, stomping your feet, and cursing?!
A Tsundere Loli's defeat CG isn't like this!
What's with that resigned expression?
Even if you can't accept it, at least shed some tears.
This isn't what I wanted to see!
"What kind of expression is that?" Arthur decided to cheer her up, "What kind of look?"
"What's wrong with you looking like this?!"
"Cry! Make a fuss! If you're not convinced, come up and fight me!" Arthur frowned, deliberately raising his voice, his ahoge puffing up with anger. "What kind of talk is this, you looking so lifeless? Can you beat me?!"
Arthur began to fight fire with fire: "Where's that Martial Soul you had arguing with me offstage just now? You've completely disgraced Shrek!"
As he spoke, he suddenly realized something was wrong. Arthur turned his head and saw all the Tianhai Academy members defeated and lying on the ground.
All the remaining Shrek members were still standing on the stage, looking at him in unison.
Arthur couldn't maintain his composure.
Tianhai Academy, how can you be so weak? You couldn't even win six against five, and against damaged opponents at that.
Do you even know how to play?!
