Silence!
A hush fell over the crowd.
No one on the vast battlefield made a sound.
Both the disciples of the academy and the members of the Tiger Tribe watched this with open mouths.
No one had expected that an Enlightening Stage demon would be defeated by a mere Long Breath Stage cultivator!
In the tower, the two tutors looked at Lin Shen in a daze. They were stunned and couldn’t speak for a long time.
After a long time, the two of them came back to their senses and looked at each other.
“Did you see it clearly?” Master Shi hesitated.
Master Gong shook his head. “Bone Erosion Wind has the effect of obscuring spirit resonance.”
They looked at each other, shocked and confused.
They really couldn’t understand how Lin Shen had killed that Mystic Enlightening realm white-eyed spirit tiger.
In their original expectations, Lin Shen could at most protect himself.
“That red light just now… Could it be another Path-stage martial technique?” Master Shi suddenly said.
“You mean… Lin Shen has mastered two Path-stage martial techniques?” Master Gong was shocked and instinctively wanted to deny that speculation. After all, it was already shocking enough for a Long Breath Stage cultivator to master one Path-stage martial technique!
Mastering two types at the same time?
It was unimaginable!
However, on second thought, if that wasn’t the case, how could they explain how Lin Shen killed the Enlightening Stage white-eyed spirit tiger?
Previously, when Lin Shen used the Path-stage martial technique, Master Gong was sure that it was a Physical Enhancement martial technique. It could defend Lin Shen well enough but didn’t do much in attacking enemies. It was impossible for Lin Shen to use it to kill the white-eyed tiger demon.
It seemed that only Master Shi’s guess could explain the current situation.
“If that’s the case, that would be incredible…” Master Gong muttered.
At the same time, Xie Jingsheng, who was high in the sky, had also come back to his senses. He suppressed the surprise and immediately circulated his energy to raising his voice,
“Junior Brother Lin has won and killed the white-eyed tiger demon. Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters, follow me to kill the monsters of the Tiger Tribe!” His clear voice instantly spread for miles. The disciples immediately recovered from their shock and erupted into loud cheers. Their morale soared as they aggressively charged toward the spiritual beasts.
Because of Bai Teng’s unexpected defeat, the Tiger Tribe’s morale instantly plummeted to rock bottom.
Under such circumstances, how could they withstand the disciples? In an instant, they were forced to retreat, gradually showing signs of failing.
At this point, the remaining three tiger demons understand that the situation was hopeless. They all thought about retreating.
Xie Jingsheng immediately saw through the enemy’s plan and smiled faintly. “Junior Brother Lin is brilliant. As his Senior Brother, I can’t fall behind!” As soon as he finished speaking, he activated his spiritual essence and stabbed forward with the spear in his hand!
There seemed to be a rumble of thunder. A golden rainbow pierced through the sky from top to bottom and attacked a tiger demon like a bolt of lightning!
A Path-stage martial technique!
The tiger demon was still in shock at Bai Teng being killed by a Long Breath Stage cultivator and hadn’t come back to his senses yet. By the time he reacted, it was too late. The golden rainbow instantly pierced through his chest, and he died on the spot!
The remaining two tiger demons were terrified when they saw this. Without thinking, they tried to flee.
Unfortunately, Xie Jingsheng and Mu Chuanhua soon caught up and intercepted them. Having no other choice, they could only brace themselves and fight.
However, they had lost their momentum and strength. Their defeat was destined.
On the mountain below, Lin Shen heaved a sigh of relief after killing Bai Teng. Then, he charged toward the other spiritual beasts without stopping.
Now was a good time to pursue victory. If he could kill more spiritual beasts, he would be able to trigger the effect of Testify by Killing a few more times!
The battle quickly turned into a one-sided slaughter. Not long after, the two tiger demons died, and the spiritual beasts fled with the cultivators at their heels.
It wasn’t until sunset that the disciples returned to the pagoda excitedly.
At this moment, Jiang Hao had already woken up after a round of treatment.
He was sitting in his seat in a daze, and his expression was still a little sluggish.
He had already learned from the disciple in charge of treating him that Lin Shen had used a Path-stage martial technique to kill Bai Teng.
When Jiang Hao heard this, his first reaction was disbelief.
However, when he saw Bai Teng’s charred corpse and heard the disciples’ discussions and exclamations, he finally had to admit the truth.
After the suspicion disappeared, a strong sense of loss and disbelief surged in the depths of his heart.
He believed himself to be extremely talented. He had only been in the academy for three years, but he had already advanced to the Bright Aperture Stage. He had also cultivated the Nine Divine Sun Sword to Path at only the third level of the Bright Aperture Stage. He felt he was more talented than anyone else!
He thought Shen Zoning, Xie Jingsheng, and some others were only more advanced than him because they entered the academy a year earlier.
In a few more years, he was 100% confident that he could surpass Shen Zoning and Xie Jingsheng.
His talent and strength far exceeded his peers giving Jiang Hao strong confidence.
However, today, his confidence was shattered!
Lin Shen had grasped a Path-stage martial technique at the Long Breath Stage.
This kind of thing only existed in rumors, but now, it had really happened!
Compared to that, Jiang Hao’s talent and strength which he was proud of suddenly seemed insignificant!
His pride had been crushed. This made Jiang Hao feel a strong sense of loss.
What was even more unacceptable was that the person who had shattered his pride was Lin Shen, whom he had mocked and despised not long ago!
Moreover, Lin Shen had killed the white-eyed tiger demon that had severely injured Jiang Hao!
How ironic!
Jiang Hao even had the illusion that many disciples were secretly mocking him..
