The Seed and the Invisible Attack

The others felt it was a pity. Michelle was very strong, but she had run into a prodigy. Among the people here, very few could have held on as long as Michelle had. Some might not even have been able to withstand a single blow.

"She probably can't take it anymore. It's about to begin," Da Pao muttered to himself. He hadn't forgotten that Xi Yue had also pressured Michelle before, and in the end, Michelle had displayed her talent. That kind of talent was also very strong.

After dodging another explosion, Michelle's eyes turned icy, and the red in her pupils deepened. She hadn't expected to have to use her talent in the first battle. Facing this monster in front of her, she had no choice.

The next moment, red lotuses bloomed from the soles of Michelle's feet, demonic and beautiful, captivating the soul and making people mesmerized. In this instant, Michelle, standing on the red lotus, was like a demoness, breathtakingly beautiful.

Hei Xu's finger twitched, and a streak of black flashed in front of Michelle. Michelle's red pupils shone, and she lifted her foot, her body vanishing from its original spot. A Void Explosion occurred in her original spot, shaking the land. And Michelle appeared a thousand meters away, her speed unbelievably fast. She raised her hand, and red light points condensed into shape. The red lotus was the bow, the red lotus was the arrow. An arrow shot towards Hei Xu.

The red arrow attracted everyone's attention, adorning this land. Hei Xu's finger flicked, and a streak of black cut through the void, perfectly blocking the path of the red lotus arrow and clashing with it. There was no fierce roar, only tiny cracks spreading from the void. This was... a spatial crack! The attack of the two had shattered space.

This scene was extremely shocking. If it were in other combat academies, it would also be enough to cause a sensation. To be able to shatter space with Melting Realm strength was something only a very small number of prodigies could do.

As the void shattered, the black halo and the red lotus arrow canceled each other out. The two's one strike was a draw.

For the first time, Hei Xu's eyes showed surprise. His finger twitched again, and another black halo descended on Michelle's head. Michelle used the red lotus to dodge, and a red lotus arrow shot towards Hei Xu. Hei Xu used Void Explosion to block. The entire space was constantly bombarded, just like at the beginning, but the power was incomparable.

The battlefield of the two was very large, and their attacks were frequent, making the others' scalps tingle. Under this kind of offensive, few dared to get close. Even an ordinary Limiteer Realm expert from an Astral Combat Academy would find it difficult to retreat unscathed if they encountered it.

In the midst of this, a red lotus arrow was shattered by a Void Explosion. Everyone was shocked. Was the winner about to be decided?

The Void Explosion swept towards Michelle, devouring her in the blink of an eye. The faces of the others turned pale. Not good, Michelle is in mortal danger.

However, no one came to her rescue, because a second later, another Michelle appeared behind Hei Xu, stepping on a red lotus, an arrow aimed at Hei Xu, and it was fired.

Hei Xu's attention was all on the other Michelle. He hadn't expected another Michelle to appear from behind. This wasn't extreme speed, but a clone. The Michelle that had been devoured by the Void Explosion before had turned into shattered red lotus petals. Behind him, a red lotus arrow had been fired, directly hitting Hei Xu.

Everyone was dazed, shocked at Michelle's talent, and at the same time, looking forward to the outcome. Michelle's strength was beyond question. To be hit by her at such a close range, it should be over.

With a thud, Hei Xu's body was sent flying tens of meters, falling to the ground, dust shooting up into the sky.

Everyone was dead silent, staring at this scene.

Da Pao and Xiao Pao were also staring. Even they couldn't easily decide the winner of this battle.

Michelle frowned. This battle had been too difficult. Her arrow just now, theoretically, should have been able to decide the winner, but for some reason, she always felt it was a little bit lacking.

Everyone watched. Before long, with a soft sound, from within the dust, Hei Xu pressed one hand on the ground and slowly stood up. A chill ran down the backs of the others. He's fine even after that? Impossible, what a freak!

Michelle clenched her right fist, the light in her red pupils shining, and she stared at Hei Xu in the dust.

Hei Xu slowly walked out, his expression still very indifferent. Looking at his whole body, there were no wounds at all, only the clothes on his back were torn, revealing a tattoo of three green leaves.

"The Three-Leaf Grass Company?" Zahra exclaimed.

Everyone stared at Hei Xu's back. The tattoo on his back was indeed the symbol of the Three-Leaf Grass Company.

Michelle was surprised. The Three-Leaf Grass Company. So this person is from the Three-Leaf Grass Company.

"It's rumored that the Three-Leaf Grass Company is skilled at finding talented prodigies in the universe and letting them develop freely. Only when they reach a certain height will they be recalled. I didn't expect it to be true. This person is a prodigy excavated by the Three-Leaf Grass Company, known as a seed," Zahra said with a grave expression.

As an organization similar to the Three-Leaf Grass Company, her Xuanfeng Hall knew a lot about that giant corporation. It was precisely because they knew that they knew how terrifying the seeds were. Every seed selected by the Three-Leaf Grass Company was a supreme prodigy, and once they grew up, they were all extremely terrifying.

Michelle had obviously also heard this rumor, and her face turned pale. The person in front of her was a seed of the Three-Leaf Grass Company. She had heard her older sister, Comilla, mention it. The Three-Leaf Grass Company was a behemoth in the universe. To be selected as a seed was a hundred times harder than being admitted to an Astral Combat Academy. Yet she had actually run into one.

Hei Xu faced Michelle and raised his hand again.

Michelle shook her head and said bitterly, "No need to fight anymore. I admit defeat."

Everyone was surprised.

Lu Yin sighed. Michelle's Star Energy was depleted. Her talent was very strong, but its consumption of Star Energy was also extremely high. In contrast, Hei Xu's talent's consumption of Star Energy was not too much. A truly terrifying talent.

"Sixth match, Hei Xu wins," Da Pao announced.

At this point, six battles had ended. The winners were Xia Luo, Lulu Mebis, Yin, Zhao Yilong, Lu Yin, and Hei Xu, in that order. This result was a bit unexpected. Hui Baiye's and Michelle's defeats were unexpected, while Xia Luo's and Yin's strengths were unexpectedly strong. These two had been quiet since enrollment and had hardly fought in the Realm Spirit War, yet they had won so cleanly.

And there was also Hei Xu, who was a bit terrifyingly strong.

Thinking of Hei Xu, everyone subconsciously looked at Lu Yin. If nothing unexpected happened, in the second round of battles, Hei Xu's opponent would be him. How pitiful.

"Big Brother Lu, it's okay to lose. You'll catch up in the future," Ke Ke said, pulling Lu Yin's arm and comforting him.

Lu Yin was speechless. "It's not certain I'll lose."

Ke Ke pursed her lips. "Even Big Sister Michelle's terrifying attack didn't harm that person in the slightest. Probably no one can beat him."

Lu Yin chuckled. He didn't know how many people had seen through it. In fact, Michelle's attack was not unable to harm Hei Xu, but it had been blocked by him. There was always a protective layer on his back. That arrow hadn't hit him at all. To be precise, the power of that arrow was not enough to break through that protective layer.

Moreover, Michelle's strength had been overestimated. The reason she could create a spatial crack was mostly due to Hei Xu's talent. She couldn't have done it on her own. Otherwise, at the beginning of the term, she wouldn't have stayed in the rain for so long to get Mentor Guan Yu's gift. There was no need for Lu Yin to explain these things to that girl.

"Ahem, in order not to waste time, the competition continues. Seventh match, Xia Luo versus Lulu Mebis, begin," Da Pao announced.

Xia Luo walked down to the field and looked at Lulu with a gentle expression.

Lulu slammed her fists together, making a bang bang sound. She was clearly a very cute girl, but her style was very fierce.

Every time he saw Lulu's excited expression, Lu Yin thought of that sea turtle on Earth. That girl was afraid of nothing.

"Be careful. This is not a spar. I won't hold back," Lulu said provocatively, looking at Xia Luo.

Xia Luo smiled. "You didn't hold back during the spar either. But after breaking through to the Melting Realm, your strength is even greater. I really should be careful."

Lulu tossed her long hair and forcefully rushed at Xia Luo. The ground was cracked by her steps, and a shocking air blast was produced. A glint flashed in Xia Luo's eyes, and he retreated two steps. Just as he dodged, Lulu's fist hit the empty air, and the air formed a drill that shot into the distance. It could be vaguely seen that the void was distorted. Xia Luo's hair was lifted by the airwave, and he retreated a few more steps.

Lulu snorted, used White Flash to disappear, and reappeared with a kick, which made a heavy sound. Xia Luo also lifted his leg. The two legs collided, and with a thud, the ground shattered without warning. The two of them sank into the ground at the same time. A huge crack spread from the pit, until it reached the feet of Lu Yin and the others.

Everyone was surprised. Such great power. Neither of them had used a combat technique. How was the power so great?

Michelle was shocked. She felt a pressure from the aftershock. These two were very strong.

Boom boom boom boom!

The ground shook, and the cracks spread and widened. Lu Yin and the others had to float in the air, watching the ground below being torn apart. This destructive power was no less than that created by the battle between Michelle and Hei Xu. The difference was that Michelle and Hei Xu were long-range fighters, while Xia Luo and Lulu were close-range, looking even more fierce.

Bang!

A punch collided, and Lulu was surprised. From the first battle, she knew that Xia Luo had a very strong ability to weaken Star Energy, much stronger than when he had sparred with her before. So she didn't use Star Energy at all, purely fighting with her body, competing in strength. But Xia Luo had actually withstood it. She was from the Mebis clan. She was already very unwilling to have lost to Lu Yin in terms of strength. If Xia Luo also won, it would be even more disgraceful. The Mebis clan had never suffered this kind of loss.

Lulu shouted, and the phantom image of a sky-covering giant tree suddenly appeared behind her. Her strength suddenly increased, and she fiercely sent Xia Luo flying with a punch. She used a White Flash to appear in front of Xia Luo and punched down at his head. Xia Luo was fiercely smashed into the ground. A thousand-meter radius of ground was directly shattered, spreading out in all directions with Xia Luo as the center, shaking people's hearts.

This one strike's destructive power to the ground was more ferocious than all the previous battles combined. A thousand-meter radius of ground could no longer stand people, and a huge deep pit appeared, dust shooting up to the sky.

Ke Ke covered her mouth. "So terrifying."

Lu Yin's eyebrow twitched. This strength... was even greater. The Mebis clan were all humanoid tyrannosauruses!

Floating in the air, Lulu's face was ugly. She looked back at the crowd and said unwillingly, "I lose."

Everyone was surprised. Lose? What did that mean?

At this time, from underground, Xia Luo patted his clothes with a bitter smile and looked at Lulu. "Couldn't you have used a little less strength? You almost shattered me."

Lulu rolled her eyes. "You won and you still have so much nonsense to say."

In the crowd, Da Pao announced, "Seventh match, Xia Luo wins."

Most people were puzzled. Even Michelle didn't see anything.

Lu Yin stared at Lulu's neck. There was a very fine red bloodstain there. It wasn't bleeding, but if it had been a little deeper, Lulu's neck would have been gone. This was Xia Luo's attack. But... when did he attack? He himself hadn't seen it clearly.
