After some planning, more than a dozen proctors finally determined the list of duels for the first few games.
"The first match, Lin Yun versus Murong Xue."
When they heard the list announced by the invigilator, Lin Yun and Murong Xue were both stunned. Apparently they did not expect that they would be the first to appear.
Lin Yun originally thought that he had shown enough strength in the semi-finals, but he didn't expect to be assigned to play first.
This was obviously the invigilator, who had not fully recognized Lin Yun's strength, or wanted to test the stage of Lin Yun's strength, so he arranged for Lin Yun to appear first.
Murong Xue took the lead on the martial arts stage, smiled and said to Lin Yun: "Lin Yun, although I am not your opponent, I have always wanted to fight with you."
Lin Yun also walked up to the martial arts platform and stood in front of Murong Xue: "In that case, let's make a move."
"Then I'm welcome." Murong Xue nodded, and then activated the vitality in her body to condense into a small emerald green tree behind her.
Dozens of vines grew from the roots of the tree, like poisonous snakes, extending close to the ground towards the forest clouds.
Lin Yun stood motionless, letting the vines wrap around his feet, and then quickly climbed up his body along his feet, wrapping around his torso and hands.
After being entangled by the vines, Lin Yun immediately felt that the vitality in his body was being continuously absorbed by the vines.
"It seems that you have indeed made a lot of progress." Feeling the passing energy, Lin Yun nodded with satisfaction.
Since the last farewell to the ancient tomb, Murong Xue not only knew how to use martial arts to attack, but also mastered the ability to absorb vitality.
The martial soul ability she currently possesses is enough to defeat any opponent below the martial arts master level.
But this seemed childish to Lin Yun.
When Lin Yun was about to be wrapped into a big rice dumpling by the vines, Lin Yun used his arms to forcefully use the purest strength to tear off the vines wrapped around his arms.
Immediately afterwards, the vines under Lin Yun's feet were also broken by the terrifying force.
Lin Yun grabbed the vines on his body with both hands and tore them apart hard on both sides.
Click!
In the blink of an eye, all the vines wrapped around Lin Yun's body were torn off by Lin Yun with his bare hands in this simple and crude way.
And those broken vines grew again in the blink of an eye, and continued to crawl towards Lin Yun endlessly.
However, before these vines entangled Lin Yun, Lin Yun's figure disappeared in a flash, turning into a blurry shadow that passed through the gaps between countless vines and arrived in front of Murong Xue in the blink of an eye.
Upon seeing this, Murong Xue hurriedly activated her martial soul ability. The small tree behind her sprouted a large number of wooden strips like a peacock spreading its wings, wrapping Murong Xue completely, forming a temporary wooden shield.
Lin Yun punched out and hit the wooden shield casually.
Because he was afraid of hurting Murong Xue, Lin Yun only used 10% of his strength in this punch.
But even so, this punch still shattered the wooden shield.
Murong Xue flew backwards from the exploding wood debris and directly hit the invisible barrier at the edge of the martial arts platform.
Lin Yun's figure flashed, and he caught up with Murong Xue who was flying upside down. Before she hit the barrier, he hugged her delicate body, and then they fell back to the ground together.
Seeing this scene, everyone in the audience sighed, as if they had discovered something terrible.
"What are you doing? Lin Yun is about to win, yet he shows mercy to her at the critical moment. Aren't he afraid of being counterattacked?"
"Murong Xue is his opponent! No matter how beautiful she is, she won't be so caring during the duel, right? The relationship between the two of them must not be simple!"
Hearing everyone's discussion, Yun Ruoxi felt very uncomfortable, as if her beloved thing had been taken away.
From the very beginning when Murong Xue took the initiative to greet Lin Yun, she felt that the relationship between Lin Yun and Murong Xue was not simple, and now it seems that she was not wrong at all.
"Thank you." Murong Xue lay in Lin Yun's arms and looked at Lin Yun with a grateful face. It was obvious that she did not expect that Lin Yun would actually save her in this situation.
Lin Yun put Murong Xue down, and then said to her calmly: "Your martial soul ability can actually be further developed."
Hearing Lin Yun's words, Murong Xue's eyes widened: "Really...really?"
After Murong Xue mastered the ability to absorb vitality, Murong Takuhai said personally that her martial soul ability had reached its limit.
But at this time, she heard someone say that her martial soul's ability could still be developed.
If someone else had said this, Murong Xue would have ignored it. But since it was Lin Yun who said this, she had to believe it.
After all, Lin Yun was the man who changed her life's destiny.
"You try to control the wood cells from the microscopic level. Change the particle density of the wood cells, and then make them come out of the ground." Lin Yun patiently explained to Murong Xue, like a respected mentor teaching his disciples.
"From the micro level? I understand." Murong Xue was like a wake-up call, and she suddenly understood.
She immediately activated her martial soul ability and followed Lin Yun's instructions to change the structure of the vines from a microscopic level.
Lin Yun was not in a hurry. He just stood aside and calmly watched Murong Xue activate her martial soul ability. Instead of stopping her, he even reminded her from time to time and actively guided her to overcome difficulties.
This scene left everyone confused.
Is this still a duel? This has completely become a guide, okay?
Under Lin Yun's guidance, Murong Xue quickly completed the development of his abilities and extended a large number of high-density vines deep underground beneath the martial arts platform.
The ground trembled slightly, and the floors were shattered one after another. Wooden thorns sprouted out one after another, covering the entire martial arts platform in an instant, forming a sharp forest.
Lin Yun was in this forest, stuck between several sharp wooden thorns. One of the wooden thorns even stabbed him in the middle of his legs, pushing him into the air.
Seeing this scene, everyone in the audience was stunned. Apparently they didn't expect that Murong Xue could actually perform such a terrifying move!
After increasing the particle density, the hardness of these wood thorns is comparable to metal. The distance between wood thorns is also pitifully small.
This move is not only impossible to dodge, but also has an extremely wide attack range. As long as the enemies are gathered closely enough, this move can even kill hundreds or thousands of people in an instant!
If it were anyone else other than Lin Yun, in this forest of sharp thorns, he would be turned into a hornet's nest in the blink of an eye!
Even Murong Xue himself had no idea that his martial soul's ability could be so powerful.
Looking at the forest of spikes all over the martial arts platform, she froze on the spot, looking a little unbelievable.
