In fact, the method of using a beauty trap combined with abyssal spiritual power to eliminate enemies is far inferior to hypnotizing the target, making them a new force.
But the problem is, getting the fill-in-the-blank babies to unleash hypnotic sword qi is too costly.
First, you need to imprint the Sword Qi Initial Resolution Talisman, then the Spiritual Wisdom Sword Qi Talisman, and sometimes even add a Demon Heart Sword Seed Talisman to boost power.
Even if Su Yuan could absorb the spiritual power of others, it wouldn’t be sustainable.
Moreover, such hypnosis can easily provoke strong resistance from the enemy, causing them to unite completely.
As a lesser option, directly eliminating enemies with thousand-fold sensitivity is not bad either.
Additionally, the efficiency of elimination under the beauty trap is quite high.
In just about five minutes, students from Yangxi High School and Bahe Princess High School were reduced by more than half.
The candidates from Yaoxing High School naturally wanted to provide assistance... but they couldn’t resist the pleasure.
Offering well-meaning assistance, only to be stopped by candidates from the two high schools, it’s also feared that some Yaoxing students with poor resolve couldn’t resist the temptation, actively falling into Su Yuan’s beauty trap.
In just a short while, two Yaoxing students couldn’t withstand the temptation and were swept away by the thousand-fold sensitivity.
To avoid further reduction, Yaoxing High School directly abandoned their two "plastic" allies.
Moreover, under Su Yuan’s deliberate targeting, the fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh most popular students from Bahe Princess High School’s popularity list were all eliminated.
Consequently, Su Yuan’s popularity soared, reaching fourth place on the popularity list.
The gap with the third-place Chen Nuoyi wasn’t far off.
It is worth mentioning that Chu Lanxi, who "shone brightly" relying on the beauty trap, also due to her excellent modeling, saw her popularity skyrocket to sixth, and it continues to rise.
The overall situation for Yangxi and Bahe Princess was already set, and Su Yuan no longer paid attention to them, instead turning his gaze towards the Yaoxing examinees led by Li Zhengxing.
The strategy of the beauty trap was naturally also used on the Yaoxing examinees, but under Li Zhengxing’s command, the fill-in-the-blank babies charging at Yaoxing High School were all taken down, rendering it ineffective.
Since the trickery was ineffective, there was no choice but to do battle with true skills.
"Sword Qi Team, prepare."
Upon Su Yuan’s command, all Taihua High School students in the Special Advancement Class, who had a decent command of Sword Dao or had imprinted the Sword Qi Initial Resolution and Taixu Nine Swords Runes, stepped out of the line.
Under the leadership of excellent students in the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer like Chen Nuoyi, Wu Ziying, Zhang Jun, and others, a total of twenty students from the Special Advancement Class formed a formation at the front, pointing their sword tips at the Yaoxing examinees.
At this time, the array of Taihua High School candidates and Yaoxing candidates were separated by a hundred meters.
In a situation where most Qi Cultivation cultivators specialized in martial arts, a hundred meters was almost an unbridgeable chasm.
Mastering sword qi, Taihua High School candidates undoubtedly occupied an absolute range advantage at this distance.
However, what puzzled the audience was that despite the impending sword qi attack, the Yaoxing examinees remained calm and composed, with no intention of dodging or defending.
Su Yuan slightly furrowed his brow, but he also didn’t change the battle plan, waving his hand.
"Release!"
In the next instant, hundreds of sword qis, varying in color and power, shot out like heavy crossbows, crashing toward the Yaoxing examinees’ array.
The hundred-meter distance closed in an instant.
At this moment, the Yaoxing examinees finally took action.
Standing behind Li Zhengxing in a fan-shaped formation, they collectively raised their hands, placing their hands on the shoulders of the students in front of them.
The majestic spiritual power transmitted through these interconnected arms, forming a unity among all the Yaoxing students.
Ultimately, the Cloud Spirit’s Hand gently rested on Li Zhengxing, the force gathered by the thirty-five Yaoxing students flowing through her body, converging into Li Zhengxing.
His aura suddenly surged; facing the incoming sword rain, he waved his hand, and a curtain of spiritual power, brilliant like a star river, spread out in front of the sword rain.
It was almost as if a starry sky had appeared out of nowhere in the examination field.
On the judges’ bench, Li Qingyang, who had always maintained absolute confidence, let a slight smile curl the corners of his mouth.
This was the reason for his absolute confidence in Li Zhengxing, his clan nephew, because he had thoroughly mastered the Li Family’s century-old secret technique.
"Star Shifting."
When the sword qis collided with the star curtain, Li Zhengxing smiled and slowly uttered four words.
In the next instant, the sword qis continuously collided with the stars in the star curtain, rapidly changing their attack direction under the stars’ influence.
Then, those sword qis actually turned their blades, heading straight for the Taihua High School students!
"Holy crap! Hacks!"
Seeing the sword qis returning to attack, Su Yuan exclaimed in genuine surprise.
He immediately commanded the Sword Body Team to step up for defense and instructed the Sword Qi Team to condense sword qi again to counter the returning sword qis.
But the earlier round of volleys had exhausted many in the Sword Qi Team of their sword qi reserves, making it impossible to gather enough sword qi to block.
The Sword Body Team had a limited number of people, naturally unable to completely block over a hundred sword qis.
Therefore, Su Yuan immediately chose to sacrifice the lesser to save the greater.
With his command, the remaining captives from Xiaoshui High School, Qiansuan High School, Black Dragon High School, and Red Deer High School charged toward the incoming sword qis.
They formed a solid human wall, physically blocking wave after wave of sword qi.
After enduring this volley, the captives’ numbers were reduced by over thirty.
However, all these sacrifices were worthwhile, for through this test, Yaoxing High School’s trump card was revealed.
Return one’s way to another’s is it? Does Li Zhengxing have a Celestial Immortal cousin?
And Li Zhengxing, without concealing anything, replied indifferently:
"Su Yuan, this is my trump card."
"Our Li Family’s Star Shifting secret technique can harness the power of stars for our use and redirect all external attacks by simulating stellar gravity."
"Moreover, let me mention that the method of connecting different spiritual powers in Star Shifting is one of the patents in composing the Spiritual Net System, strictly prohibited from plagiarism."
"In conclusion, as long as you can crack my Star Shifting, I wouldn’t mind giving you the first place in this eight-school joint exam. Actually, I rather hope you win."
After hearing the effects of Star Shifting, the Taihua High School candidates couldn’t help but show worries.
The strongest high school student in Taihua really lives up to the name, able to mobilize the most elite power of Yaoxing High School’s students, constructing a near-perfect defense within the Qi Cultivation realm.
Although the coordination among the Special Advancement Class students was already quite tight, compared to a true unity, they were not even close.
How should this be broken?
Many cast their eyes towards Su Yuan.
But Su Yuan turned his gaze towards Xiao Meng.
He was pondering whether this strongest Taihua female high school student, who often boasted about who would be the top in the college entrance exam during the Taixu Illusion Realm, actually had such tricks up her sleeve.
Yet in terms of performance, Xiao Meng compared to Li Zhengxing is really underwhelming.
Or perhaps, does she have means comparable to the Star Shifting but just hasn’t displayed them?
