Chapter 318: One Sword to Break All Laws, Sword Douluo’s Inexplicable Recognition
"It’s dispersed! That beam of light was sliced open!"
"One sword to break all laws... That is the Sword Douluo, ridiculously strong!"
The crisis was averted.
The deathly silence on the Spirit Fighting Arena was finally broken by the sound of heavy panting rising from all sides.
The members of the Blazing Fire Team slumped to the ground, gasping for air as the relief of surviving a disaster washed over them.
"Saved... we really got our lives back..."
Huo Wushuang propped himself up with one hand. Cold sweat had long since soaked his clothes, wet enough to be wrung out.
Huo Wu’s lips were pale, and she couldn’t say a word. Only the rise and fall of her chest proved she was still alive.
"Can you still stand up?"
"...My legs have no feeling."
"It’s okay, rest. No rush."
Huo Wushuang patted her shoulder, panting heavily himself.
Chen Xin slowly exhaled a breath of turbid Qi. With a slight movement of his fingertips, he retracted the Seven Kill Sword.
He looked down at the wrist of his sword-wielding hand and shook his head slightly.
"If a Spirit Saint had launched that attack, I would have had to use several percent of my spirit power to protect everyone."
"Two Juniors... actually unleashed an attack at the level of a Martial Soul True Body."
The referee’s legs were shaking so hard he could barely stand straight.
"Something big almost happened... something big almost happened..."
The pressure from that light beam just now had made his heart leap in fear, even through the spirit power barrier.
In his dozen or so years as a referee, this was the first time he felt so close to death.
"If the Blazing Fire Team had really fallen here, my life would have been over too."
He hurriedly rushed to the center of the Spirit Fighting Arena, shouting at the top of his lungs and using all his spirit power to project his voice across the venue:
"In this Spirit Fight, the Royal Fighting Team is the winner!"
The Great Spirit Arena was silent for three seconds.
The tens of thousands of spectators were still immersed in the afterglow of that world-shattering collision.
Then, the entire venue completely exploded.
Deafening shouts, cheers, and exclamations erupted simultaneously. The waves of sound crashed together, filling the entire stadium with a thunderous roar.
Countless spectators sprang from their seats, waving their arms frantically and screaming at the top of their lungs:
"Royal Fighting Team! Invincible! Invincible!"
"Lin Qingmo! Lin Qingmo! Lin Qingmo!"
"Ye Lingling! Goddess! Goddess!"
The Spirit Masters in the front rows stood up one after another, waving desperately toward the Spirit Fighting Arena, their faces filled with fanaticism.
The shouts rose wave after wave, hitting the sky and bouncing back, making people’s chests feel numb from the vibration.
On the Spirit Fighting Arena, the phantom of the Sacred Heart Ancient Tree slowly dissipated.
The figures of Lin Qingmo and Ye Lingling reappeared in everyone’s sight.
Ye Lingling’s cheeks were slightly flushed. The excessive consumption of spirit power made her body feel weak, and she leaned against Lin Qingmo’s side.
Her fingertips subconsciously tightened around Lin Qingmo’s hand.
Lin Qingmo turned his wrist, gathering her fingers into his palm.
With his other hand, he helped brush away the damp strands of hair from her forehead, leaning close to her ear to whisper, "Don’t be nervous, you did great."
Ye Lingling nodded gently, the weight pressing on her chest finally lifting.
Using this Fusion skill in front of people for the first time had made her incredibly nervous.
Her fingers had been shaking while mobilizing her spirit power, fearing she wouldn’t keep up with Lin Qingmo’s rhythm or that she would make a mistake.
She looked up slightly, a faint curve appearing at the corner of her lips.
Fortunately, she hadn’t held him back.
Clack!
A steady footstep stopped beside the two of them.
"Kid, that move of yours almost caused a fatality."
Lin Qingmo turned to face Chen Xin’s stern, unsmiling face.
He bowed slightly in a neither servile nor overbearing manner. "SeniorSword Douluo, please rest assured, I have a sense of proportion."
Chen Xin’s brow twitched. "Proportion? If I hadn’t made that strike, how did you plan to stop it?"
Lin Qingmo smiled faintly. "That a powerhouse like Senior would intervene was also within my calculations."
Chen Xin was stunned for a moment, then let out a low laugh. "Good kid, you even factored me in."
Lin Qingmo remained composed and bowed again. "I wouldn’t dare to call it a scheme."
"It’s just that today’s Spirit Fight was arranged by the Heaven DouCrown Prince, and both His Majesty and School Master Ning are in attendance. You all would never sit by and watch something happen to the Spirit Fighting Arena."
"This Junior just didn’t expect that the one to act would be Your Excellency."
Chen Xin stared at him for a moment, the corner of his mouth twitching slightly.
From that strike just now, he had personally experienced the sheer quality of these two youngsters’ Fusion skill.
Though he couldn’t see Lin Qingmo’s exact cultivation level,
to have this level of control at this age made him an absolute Prodigy.
He had strength, a sense of proportion, and trump cards, yet he wasn’t the least bit arrogant or impatient.
Having spent most of his life in the Spirit Master’s world, Chen Xin had seen countless geniuses as numerous as crucian carp crossing a river.
But those who could temper their Heart-Nature to such a degree were few and far between.
"I have a premonition that there will surely be a seat for you among the Titled Douluo in the future."
After Chen Xin finished speaking, his figure flashed and he vanished from the Spirit Fighting Arena.
Lin Qingmo stood frozen in place, baffled. "???"
Why did the dignified Sword Douluo just drop such a random comment and leave?
Praising someone shouldn’t be so sudden.
Ye Lingling, however, was so excited she gripped his arm, her voice trembling. "A-Qing, even the Sword Douluo praised you personally! Do you know what that means?"
"What?"
"He said you can become a Titled Douluo! That’s incredible!!!"
Seeing her so happy, Lin Qingmo couldn’t help but reach out and rub the top of her head.
"Alright, alright, Titled Douluo is still a long way off. Let’s just Cultivate properly."
Ye Lingling was startled by Lin Qingmo’s habitual gesture toward Xiao Wu, and her face immediately turned a shy, constrained red.
The rest of the Royal Fighting Team rushed up.
Xiao Wu was the first to pounce on Lin Qingmo, hanging onto his arm and shouting as she bounced around.
"A-Qing, you’re just too amazing! A Martial Soul Fusion Skill! You and Lingling were actually hiding a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, and you kept it from us for so long!"
Dugu Yan strolled over with her arms crossed, a playful smile on her lips.
She scanned Lin Qingmo up and down. "Not bad, you. You hid it quite deeply."
"If you hadn’t brought it out today, we’d all still be in the dark."
"Dear Captain, shouldn’t you give us a proper explanation?"
She tapped Lin Qingmo’s shoulder with her fingertip, her eyes full of teasing.
Yu Feng retracted the wings on his back, landed on the ground, and approached with an excited expression while rubbing his hands.
"Captain, Captain, that Fusion skill of yours and Lingling’s was just too cool!"
"That beam of light went shua and pierced right through the black sun. Does it have any other abilities? Can you teach us Fusion skills? I want one too!"
He circled around Lin Qingmo twice, wishing his captain would start a class right then and there.
Ning Rongrong walked over holding her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, shaking it with a smile.
"Yu Feng, stop messing around. Martial Soul Fusion Skills aren’t something you can learn; they’re innate, something you can only hope for but not seek out."
Her eyes flickering, Ning Rongrong looked at Lin Qingmo with a beaming smile:
"However, I can guarantee today that after this match, the entire Heaven Dou City will know both your names."
"Tsk tsk, just thinking about it is incredible."
Zhu Zhuqing also nodded gently.
After seeing the power of Lin Qingmo and Ye Lingling’s Martial Soul Fusion Skill, her mind had indeed wavered for a moment.
She thought of the Hell White Tiger, the Martial Soul Fusion Skill she shared with Dai Mubai.
But soon, she no longer cared.
No matter how strong the Hell White TigerMartial Soul Fusion Skill was, she wasn’t the one in control.
Moreover, she really disliked Dai Mubai.
Nothing was more valuable than power that belonged to oneself.
Lin Qingmo looked at the crowd surrounding him and couldn’t help but laugh.
"Alright, alright, stop crowding around. It’s as cramped as a wet market in here."
"We won the Spirit Fight. Tonight is on me! Eat and drink whatever you want at the best hotel in Heaven Dou City!"
"Hooray!!!"
The group immediately erupted into even louder cheers.
Yu Feng literally jumped up. "I want to eat the most expensive seafood!"
Xiao Wu raised both hands high. "Hundred Flower Fruit Wine! The sweetest kind! If it’s not sweet, I’m not paying!"
"I wasn’t going to let you pay anyway..."
Dugu Yan and Ning Rongrong looked at each other and smiled, responding in unison, "No objections. The Captain’s treat must be top-tier."
