Chapter 765: 525, Ice Abyss First, Witch Assembly
On the high platform made entirely of ice and snow, the shadow of swords never ceased.
A petite white figure, dual swords in hand, was fiercely attacking a burly black-haired man.
Battle Qi and Magic Power formed a tornado, wreaking havoc on the platform. Even with McCarthy and the other three Commanders working together to create a rain-shield, their faces turned pale, struggling to endure.
“You spectators, move farther away!”
Robert responded briefly, retreating thirty meters away.
The dwarf standing beside him, full of admiration, exclaimed: “Lin Da and Dean Bailuo are simply too powerful. Even the rain-shield created by the four Commanders can’t fully withstand the energy from their sparring.”
“Haha, of course! Their strength exceeds that of most Commanders!”
Robert laughed heartily.
At this moment, McCarthy, who was maintaining the rain-shield in the air, was drenched in sweat, her chest heaving violently, as helpless as a Knight dragged into a Goblin’s cavern, exhausted beyond measure.
Looking at the fierce battle unfolding on the icy platform, McCarthy felt chills run down her spine. The magic-induced gale was sharp as blades—any ordinary Sacred Rank fighter caught within would die in less than five seconds.
It hasn’t even been that long since White Dove City…
Lin Da’s strength had already surpassed her own.
Even as a level-65 Sacred Rank fighter, she didn’t have the qualifications to intervene.
McCarthy shook her head helplessly.
Humans and monsters truly can’t be compared.
But this proved Coldmoon Duke’s foresight.
Even when Lin Da was only at Star Rank, his potential was recognized.
McCarthy felt deeply inadequate.
The other three Commanders maintaining the shield exchanged glances, all wearing wry smiles.
They particularly recalled last year, when they presided over the duel between Lin Da and Dark Rose, and had handled things with ease.
Now, the four combined could barely maintain the shield.
And this was just a “sparring match.”
Were it a real battle, even the four of them together might not stand a chance against the pair on the platform.
Suddenly, the black-haired young man on the platform laughed aloud, looking up at the descending white-cat-like girl.
And alongside her, came countless sword lights!
After a year of rigorous swordsmanship training, Lin Da had finally unlocked the skill [Swordsmanship lv1].
He spent time adding points and tirelessly honing his craft.
Finally, his swordsmanship had reached a formidable level.
Facing the downpour of swords, Lin Da’s Ancient Level Five-star [Wind Shadow Sword] trembled in his hands, conjuring an equally countless array of sword shadows.
With pinpoint precision, they collided with Bailuo’s sword tips.
Blades clashing directly, killing intent overflowed. The terrifying momentum made McCarthy and the other thinking Commanders swallow hard, while the Dwarf Commander widened his eyes and shouted:
“Anyone below Light Rank, clear out immediately! At least retreat fifty meters away!”
With these words, the students in the Cultivation Square dispersed in a rush.
Everyone felt appalled—if even the four Commanders lacked confidence to fend off their attacks, just how powerful were these two upperclassmen?
In the Ice Abyss, aside from Commander Angel, no one could match them on the same stage.
They were more terrifying than Giant Dragons.
“Lin Da, this is my final test for you.”
Bailuo bellowed, her voice sharp like a white cat soaring through the air, plunging upside down.
Her slender legs gently tapped mid-air, triggering a shockwave that rippled outward fiercely, tearing through the clouds.
Utilizing the kinetic energy, Bailuo transformed into a blue shooting star, encircled by sixty shimmering droplet-shaped Rule Fragments, dazzling like a galaxy.
The profound Battle Qi pressed heavily onto the icy high platform, causing it to collapse with a thunderous roar!
Only the section where Lin Da stood remained, forming a solitary meter-high pillar.
But even there, cracks started to spread beneath his feet.
Bailuo’s move left no room for reservation!
“King Snake Swordsmanship, Feathered Snake Soaring!”
Lin Da shouted with exhilaration.
Light Wings unfolded behind him, and white energy blasted from beneath his feet.
Like a rocket ascending, Lin Da launched a fierce attack on Bailuo!
“Even weak Light Rank fighters shouldn’t try to act tough—retreat immediately!”
“All students, clear away from the high platform!”
Panicked shouts from students and stern warnings from Commanders mingled into a chaotic uproar.
The Cultivation Square turned into a boiling pot of chaos.
The explosion was deafening!
Blue Battle Qi collided violently with black Magic Power, erupting into a mushroom cloud of steam.
The shockwave swept outward, instantly shattering the rain-shield. The four Commanders fell from the sky like broken-winged birds.
Even the competitive and stubborn students unwilling to move far from the platform were struck by the shockwave, letting out cries of agony as they sprawled across the snowy ground.
Fortunately, the rain-shield had attenuated the impact to some extent. Otherwise, these Light Rank and even Moon Rank students would’ve met their demise instantly.
Feeling the intense pain coursing through their bodies, these students gained newfound respect for the “pinnacle of the Ice Abyss.”
The freshmen who had joined this year were utterly convinced.
The strongest two students in the Ice Abyss, this pair of upperclassmen, were unquestionably deserving of their title.
However, amidst the battle’s aftermath, a handful of roughly ten individuals remained unaffected.
They were this year’s graduating seniors, standing at the forefront, their hair billowing and robes fluttering, yet their steps unwavering.
From a distance, Robert watched, his face filled with yearning.
“Lia, Isa, Albert… and those few graduating upperclassmen—they’re all Sacred Rank adventurers.”
It was like something out of a dream.
Coming to the Ice Abyss, Robert felt the way an “old granny entering the Royal Capital” would, overwhelmed by one incredible sight after another.
He was a top-tier figure in White Dove City, but here in the Ice Abyss, Moon Rank fighters were the lowest of the low, while Light Rank fighters barely qualified as the backbone.
This terrifyingly extraordinary genius training camp had astounded him. When he inquired who the strongest here was, the name that came up was his former friend… ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel⸺fire.net
