Divine-level Base-Chapter 87: Void’s Eye

Shu Feng’s Hundred Dog Summoning was incomparably ferocious, sweeping through all opposition. Li Xuan Yi had also crushed his opponents with an air of invincibility, easily defeating Shen Feng. The two were widely acknowledged as the strongest among this year’s new students. Only a real battle between them could determine who was superior.

The homeroom teacher of Celestial Pride Class One, Liu Han, spoke up. "Gelong, how about a wager? I bet Li Xuan Yi wins this match. You bet on Shu Feng! What do you say to a single Middle-grade Spirit Stone as the stake?"

Liu Han and Gelong were both homeroom teachers for the Celestial Pride Class at Shuijing High School and experts at the Spirit Sect Level. There was some bad blood between them, but since they couldn’t fight on school grounds, their only outlet was to compete through their students.

Gelong’s eyes narrowed slightly as he said decisively, "Done!"

A single Middle-grade Spirit Stone was priced at 100 million in the Extraordinary Mall, or 1,000 Contribution Points. That was equivalent to two months of Gelong’s salary.

On the Central Square, Shu Feng and Li Xuan Yi sat facing each other. A Spirit Sect Level teacher from the Celestial Pride Class stood quietly to one side, watching over them.

Li Xuan Yi smiled, full of confidence. "Shu Feng, your Hundred Dog Summoning is impressive, I’ll give you that. If I were still in the Spirit Warrior Realm, defeating you would certainly be difficult. But now I’ve reached the Spirit Master Realm. You are guaranteed to fall by my hand."

Shu Feng said coolly, "Li Xuan Yi, you’re strong, it’s true. But before my Hundred Dogs Summoning Technique, you’re nothing."

Although neither Li Xuan Yi nor Shu Feng resorted to outright insults, they were trading verbal blows to undermine each other’s confidence. In a real fight, once confidence wavers, a person becomes timid and hesitant. They can’t even use seventy percent of their full strength, and it’s common for a weaker opponent to turn the tables.

Li Xuan Yi chuckled. "Shu Feng, your Hundred Dogs Summoning Technique is truly powerful. But unfortunately, you have one major weakness! And I’m sure you’re well aware of what it is."

Shu Feng’s brow twitched. "I have no weaknesses."

"Fine! Then I’ll hand you a defeat to show you exactly what that weakness is!"

Li Xuan Yi laughed, spreading his fingers and allowing the Spirit Silks from the Original Dream Tree to wrap around his right hand as he entered the dream.

Shu Feng closed his eyes as well, letting the Spirit Silks from the Original Dream Tree coil around his hand and pull him into the dream.

Upon entering the dream, a vast, sprawling, and somewhat dilapidated ruin appeared before Shu Feng’s eyes.

’Li Xuan Yi is a Top Level expert. I can’t be careless.’

With a single thought, Shu Feng summoned a hundred Black Dog Void Demons. Two Kings of Goblins, clad in Heavy Armor and wielding Giant Shields and Fine Steel Battleaxes, also appeared before him.

"The King of Goblins! The final evolution for all goblin-type monsters!"

"He can actually summon the King of Goblins! That’s a Spirit Master Level monster!"

"..."

The spectating students from the Spiritual Power Element were all prodigies from major cities. They recognized at a glance that the creatures Shu Feng had summoned were Kings of Goblins—monsters of the Spirit Master Level.

Liu Han’s eyes narrowed slightly. "Spirit Master Level Summoned Beasts! This Shu Feng really has some tricks up his sleeve."

The hundred Black Dog Void Demons surged forward like a tide, fanning out in a skirmish line as they entered the ruins to hunt for Li Xuan Yi.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Moments later, three sharp gunshots echoed from within the ruins. The skulls of three Black Dog Void Demons were blown clean off.

’Found him!’

With a command from Shu Feng, the remaining ninety-seven Black Dog Void Demons immediately raced toward Li Xuan Yi’s position.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Two intricate, flower-like Curse Seals appeared in Li Xuan Yi’s eyes. He weaved through the ruins with ease, the Tier Two Spiritual Gun in his hands, [Hong Feng], laying down a near-constant stream of fire.

Every bullet shattered the head of a Black Dog Void Demon, showcasing his Super High Level Marksmanship.

"Headshot after headshot! That’s incredible! How can anyone have that kind of Marksmanship?"

"Li Xuan Yi’s Marksmanship is terrifying!"

"..."

A buzz of discussion rose from the crowd, and countless envious gazes fixed upon Li Xuan Yi.

Liu Han smiled faintly. "The [Void’s Eye] of the Bei Yuan Li Family truly lives up to its name. No matter how many times I see it, it’s just as frightening."

Gelong’s brow twitched, but he remained silent.

The [Void’s Eye] was one of the five great Pupil Techniques in the Qianyuan Republic. The Bei Yuan Li Family was one of the republic’s most prestigious Noble Families, and had even produced a Saint in its history. It was just that their descendants had been a disappointment. Several successive Patriarchs were incompetent, causing the Li Family to fall from the rank of a Clan to a mere Noble Family.

Even so, the Bei Yuan Li Family’s [Void’s Eye] remained a top-tier Pupil Technique. Having awakened it, Li Xuan Yi was undoubtedly one of the strongest geniuses of his generation in the Li Family.

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

The sound of gunfire was incessant. Li Xuan Yi cut a swath of destruction, weaving through the ruins as he closed in on Shu Feng’s position at high speed.

’His target is me! The ruins have too many obstacles, which puts me at a disadvantage!’

Shu Feng’s mind raced. Under the protection of the two Kings of Goblins, he began to rapidly retreat from the ruins. He intended to use the hundred Spirit Warrior-level Black Dog Void Demons to drain Li Xuan Yi’s Power.

Li Xuan Yi’s movements were agile, and his aim was perfect. He had to be using some kind of Extraordinary Power. His Physical Strength and Spiritual Power were both being consumed in the intense fight. The more of his energy he expended, the less of a threat he would be to Shu Feng.

"Despicable! He’s just using his Summoned Creatures to wear down Li Xuan Yi’s Power!"

"Shu Feng, if you have any guts, face Li Xuan Yi and fight him fair and square!"

"..."

Outside, the crowd grew agitated. Many of the female students from the Spiritual Power Element looked on with disdain, denouncing Shu Feng. After all, Li Xuan Yi was far more handsome. Moreover, being young, they preferred the passionate thrill of seeing a victory won in a direct, head-on confrontation.

Liu Han chuckled. "Your student is quite the cunning one."

Gelong said coolly, "The winner is made a king, the loser a villain. That’s the truth of real combat. As long as you can achieve victory, any method is fair game. This is what you call tactical wisdom!"

Liu Han smiled. "’The winner is made a king, the loser a villain!’ You’re absolutely right! The moment Li Xuan Yi activated his [Void’s Eye], the outcome of this battle was sealed. Shu Feng’s Summoning Technique is decent, but his weakness is just too glaring. His defeat is already certain!"

Gelong snorted coldly and said nothing, his eyes glued to the light screen.

In the space of a few breaths, Li Xuan Yi had already battled his way out of the ruins. He stood on a high platform, looking down on Shu Feng. He took aim with [Hong Feng], locked onto his target, and pulled the trigger.

A red beam of light shot out from the distance, heading straight for Shu Feng.

One of the Kings of Goblins raised its Fine Steel Shield, blocking the bullet’s path and intercepting its trajectory.

The red Spiritual Power Bullet suddenly ricocheted, twisting its trajectory to curve around the shield. It struck Shu Feng squarely in the head, piercing straight through.

Seeing this, Gelong couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration, "Curved Shooting! Incredible! Li Xuan Yi is truly incredible, to have mastered such a Secret Technique!"
