Chapter 30 Xu Tianyi: Of course we must continue!
Before the three men's horrified eyes, Kong Xuan's figure, like a faded ink painting, slowly disappeared from their sight.
This was clearly the result of Kong Xuan slowing down the process; otherwise, it would have all happened in an instant.
Both visually and in terms of feeling, Kong Xuan seemed to have vanished from the spot.
Then, as the spear tip gradually solidified again, Kong Xuan reappeared in the three people's sight.
"Emptiness and selflessness." Kong Xuan's voice came from all directions: "This is the intent of the spear, not a soul skill."
His figure was fully revealed as the last word was uttered.
Gun intent!
Upon hearing these two words, both Xu Wei and Xu Tianyi looked bewildered, clearly having never heard of this term before.
The Sun Moon Empire doesn't value Soul Master training; they can't even figure out their own Soul Skills, let alone create their own.
Therefore, even Xu Tianyi, a member of the royal family, had no understanding of the meaning of the spear.
However, Kong Ling, who had been by Kong Xuan's side since childhood, learned from what her brother had always pursued the essence of spear fighting through observation and experience.
Her eyes widened in surprise, and she exclaimed, "Brother, the breakthrough you mentioned is the condensation of spear intent?"
Kong Xuan smiled and said, "That's right!"
Kong Ling then asked curiously, "Brother, what kind of spear intent is this? How can it make you disappear?"
"My spear technique is named Kongming. Its movements are ethereal and seemingly nonexistent. The spear moves at will, and the intention arises from the heart."
Seeing the confused looks in the three people's eyes, Kong Xuan knew that they probably hadn't understood what he was saying.
He then explained, "Simply put, in my clear and tranquil state of mind, I can conceal the traces of an attack, making it impossible for the other party to discern my intentions and goals."
"At the same time, under the influence of the artistic conception, I can also become one with the surrounding environment. The move that allowed me to dodge the sun's rays was like that, which can also be considered a kind of application of spatial ability."
After Kong Xuan's explanation, the three of them finally understood what had just happened.
"Brother Xuan, that move you just made was even more powerful than many soul skills!"
Xu Wei's eyes widened in surprise. "And if that's the case, then Xuan-ge, don't you have one more soul skill than other soul masters?"
A Soul Master's strength mainly comes from the Soul Skills provided by Soul Rings and Soul Bones.
Kong Xuan's spear intent can now function as a soul skill, essentially creating an extra skill slot out of thin air.
Soul Masters have fixed positions for their Soul Rings and Soul Bones, so they can only have a limited number of Soul Skills. Having one more would be a significant achievement.
Xu Tianyi also looked at Kong Xuan with a serious expression. The more he understood Kong Xuan, the more he could feel the gap between himself and him.
His state of mind also underwent a tremendous change in just over ten days.
From initially wanting to surpass the other party, to now seeing no hope of catching up no matter how hard we try.
This sense of disparity is the source of his fear.
He clenched his fists, forcing himself to calm his turbulent thoughts.
"If you work hard, you might be able to master this skill too."
Kong Xuan's gaze swept across the three faces. Except for Kong Ling, the other two unconsciously lowered their heads, not daring to meet his eyes.
Although it's unclear how this spear intent was created, judging from the previous conversation, it seems that Kong Xuan also put in a lot of effort to master this Void Spear Intent. The two of them really lacked confidence.
Kong Xuan asked this not because he was Versailles, but because he felt...
No, to be more precise, with the assistance and guidance of their teacher Yun Ming, they too are capable of developing their own will.
However, these are all things to be discussed later and require careful planning.
Kong Xuan glanced at the three of them and asked, "Shall we continue the competition?"
Kong Xuan's clear and powerful spear intent shocked the three of them so much that their fighting spirit diminished.
Therefore, the question of Kong Xuan was met with silence.
After a short while, a sound was heard.
"Of course we must continue!"
The voice was almost a shout, and everyone's eyes immediately focused on Xu Tianyi's face.
He raised his head, staring intently at Kong Xuan, breathing heavily as if he were struggling to utter those words.
He wanted to maintain his fighting spirit; he was unwilling to be the one who retreated without a fight!
Xu Tianyi's shout also awakened the fighting spirit of Xu Wei and Kong Ling, and the two immediately declared that the battle should continue!
Kong Xuan's expression also turned serious: "Then... let's begin!"
This time, it was Kong Xuan who initiated the attack.
Just like he had demonstrated to the three of them, his figure seemed to disappear into the arena.
The three opponents looked around in panic, but could not find Kong Xuan anywhere.
Xu Tianyi sensed something was wrong. Without thinking, his body reacted instinctively, raising his dragon-transformed right arm to shield himself.
Kong Xuan's figure had already appeared beside him, and the Sky-Piercing Spear swept across Xu Tianyi's right arm, knocking him back several steps.
Meanwhile, Kong Xuan pressed forward and continued the pursuit, giving Xu Tianyi no chance to catch his breath.
He felt that Kong Xuan's spear was erratic and that no matter how he defended, there was a flaw. For a moment, he was flustered and confused.
Kong Ling's Sun God Light struck Kong Xuan again, trying to help Xu Tianyi out of his predicament, but it was too late.
Kong Xuan's figure blurred again, dodging the sun's rays and disappearing from their sight.
Xu Tianyi stood there dumbfounded, just as the scene that had just happened was repeating itself.
The tip of the Sky-Piercing Spear was once again pressed against his throat. Its extreme sharpness made him tremble all over, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.
Needless to say, Xu Tianyi himself knew that he had been eliminated!
When Kong Xuan reappeared, he was already standing in front of his younger sister.
He naturally didn't brandish the Sky-Piercing Spear at his beloved younger sister.
He simply flicked Kong Ling's forehead and then whispered, "You're eliminated too!"
The little orange sun above their heads disappeared. Kong Ling stomped her foot. This time, although she didn't cry, she couldn't help but shout, "Brother, your spear technique is just too cheating!"
Kong Xuan chuckled lightly upon hearing this, but did not respond.
Two of the three opponents have been dealt with, leaving only Xu Wei.
After defeating his sister, Kong Xuan's figure suddenly blurred, and the Sky-Piercing Spear drew a mysterious arc.
Xu Wei's lightning bolts were noticeably slowed by the gun intent, yet they still moved with astonishing speed among the gun shadows.
Although Kong Xuan's spear intent is strong, it can only be considered a functional "intent" and does not contribute much to attack power.
Xu Wei's first soul skill, Lightning Flash, is a divine skill, granting him extreme speed while also granting him immunity to physical damage.
But for Kong Xuan, dealing with him is not as hopeless as dealing with Xu Tianyi.
His golden pupils shone even brighter, though not noticeable in daylight, they were clearly radiating golden light.
At this moment, Xu Wei's trajectory was crystal clear to Kong Xuan, and he could even predict Xu Wei's position in the next moment.
"it's useless!"
Kong Xuan's voice came from all directions: "Your lightning strike is exquisite, but..."
The Sky-Piercing Spear suddenly froze in a seemingly empty spot!
"But I've already figured out the pattern!"
"Clang!"
Although the Sky-Piercing Spear was stuck in the ground, Kong Xuan and Xu Wei both knew that the shot had hit its mark!
