One Who Can Cast Prohibited Spells?
In the sixth round of the arena competition, only four candidates remained: Ye Lin, Luo Jun, Zhuge Ni, and a candidate named Lin Linglin.
The other candidates had already completed five rounds and ended their current college entrance examination trials. This year's top scorer of Qingcheng High School would be among these four.
Zhuge Ni was eager to face Ye Lin, but after a round of drawing lots, Zhuge Ni was matched against Lin Linglin, while Ye Lin was paired with Luo Jun!
This draw result excited countless people.
They all knew that Ye Lin was very strong, but no one had seen him actually fight before. Luo Jun had just defeated Wang Zhenglin, who was also an SSS-level professional, without taking any damage. He was also an extremely powerful existence.
The battle between Zhuge Ni and Ji Lingyu had already proven to them that a lower-level person was not necessarily weaker.
Therefore, many people still favored Luo Jun.
The several principals of Qingcheng High School were also excited at this moment.
For them, this battle between Luo Jun and Ye Lin was even more important than the final.
Unless Lin Linglin suddenly showed extraordinary strength, he would not be Zhuge Ni's opponent.
And if Ye Lin defeated Luo Jun, it would mean that the final battle would be between two students of Qingcheng High School. No matter what, the top scorer of Qingcheng would be born in Qingcheng High School.
If Luo Jun won, then their Yucai High School still had a chance to retain the title of top scorer!
After all, in the past three years, the top scorers of Qingcheng had all come from Yucai High School.
"Principal Su, do you think Luo Jun has a high chance of winning?" One principal couldn't help but ask.
"Of course. He's my student, and I have great confidence in him!" Principal Su smiled faintly, exuding an indescribable confidence.
"But Ye Lin is an 18th-level Prohibited Spellcaster. Prohibited Spellcasters are already terrifyingly powerful, and the opponent is even at a higher level than Luo Jun. Can Luo Jun really win?" Another principal was somewhat surprised.
"So what?" Principal Su seemed somewhat disdainful. "It's just a single arena match. Can he really keep casting Prohibited Spells without regard for his life?"
The several principals nodded in agreement. Everyone knew the power of Prohibited Spells, but they were extremely harmful to the body. Unless it was a matter of life and death, apart from Prohibited Spellcasters, almost no one would want to cast Prohibited Spells.
"I'm just afraid he won't be able to withstand even one Prohibited Spell," Gao Zhenyu said quietly.
"Humph, we'll see after the match," Principal Su snorted.
On the arena, Ye Lin and Luo Jun had already shown their levels.
[Luo Jun, Shadow Dragon Lance, 14th level]
[Ye Lin, Prohibited Spellcaster, 18th level]
Luo Jun's black long lance pointed directly at Ye Lin. The black lance shone with a faint black light in the sunlight, as if a real dragon was lurking within. Luo Jun's eyes were filled with surging fighting spirit, and a faint dragon roar could be heard.
"Ye Lin, I finally got to face you. Among all the people, you are the only one I can consider an opponent! As long as I defeat you, the top scorer of this year's college entrance examination will definitely be me!"
This made Zhuge Ni's face involuntarily darken. It was obvious that Luo Jun completely disregarded her.
Ye Lin remained silent, merely holding the Starfall Heaven Trace tightly.
And in everyone's anticipation, with the announcement of the referee, the battle began!
This was also Ye Lin's first battle since entering the arena competition.
Luo Jun's figure suddenly flashed, lunging at Ye Lin like a fierce tiger.The black long spear in his hand carried the force of a thunderbolt, directly thrusting towards Ye Lin's heart.
Ye Lin remained calm, his figure slightly shifting. The Starfall Heaven Trace in his hand drew a brilliant star trail, meeting Luo Jun's black long spear.
He didn't use those complicated and chaotic forbidden spells but instead employed the simplest and most straightforward Yangshou Dao Technique.
Luo Jun was only at level 14. Each strike of the Yangshou Dao Technique was twice as powerful as the previous one. If there were no unexpected circumstances, the power of the Starfall Heaven Trace would be beyond Luo Jun's ability to resist once it reached around the 20th layer.
Moreover, with the Yangshou Dao Technique, Ye Lin didn't have to worry about accidentally killing Luo Jun, which was the main reason.
"Using a knife?"
Luo Jun was somewhat shocked. He had only seen Ye Lin use the World-Ending Thunderbolt, and thus had already prepared himself, but he never expected Ye Lin to directly pull out a knife.
A forbidden spell caster, also skilled in close combat? How come he didn't know this?
And as the black long spear and the Starfall Heaven Trace kept colliding, Luo Jun became increasingly alarmed.
Ye Lin's knife technique seemed simple, but each strike contained an incredibly powerful force, and this force was constantly accumulating!
The Starfall Heaven Trace drew brilliant trails in the air, colliding with Luo Jun's black long spear, producing a metallic, crisp sound and a series of sparks.
At first, the black long spear held the absolute upper hand, but as Ye Lin's knife strikes increased, Luo Jun felt increasingly powerless, with cold sweat already trickling down his forehead.
One force can break through ten thousand techniques. Although Ye Lin only used simple slashing, the accumulated power of the Yangshou Dao Technique was simply too terrifying.
The spectators around the arena were stunned. This wasn't a forbidden spell caster fighting a warrior at all. It looked like one warrior was trading blows with another!
"Forbidden spell casters... do they fight like this?"
"No, isn't he a forbidden spell caster? Why can he fight Luo Jun with just his knife without casting a single forbidden spell? Is this so outrageous?"
"I'm also curious. I thought it would be forbidden spells flying everywhere, but it turned out to be this scene."
The viewers watching the live broadcast were all dumbfounded. This battle seemed quite different from what they had imagined.
And the several principals of Qingcheng High School had already caught on.
"Is it that forbidden spell?"
"Probably. By consuming his own lifespan, each strike he makes is stronger than the previous one.""How many times has he swung his blade? Is it worth trading his life for a victory in this arena match?" The school principals were in heated discussion, and Principal Su's face was already extremely grim. He never expected that Ye Lin would actually fight so fiercely, and even risk his life to do so!
"Principal Su, didn't you say that Luo Jun might not lose? From the current situation, it seems he's definitely going to lose," Gao Zhenyu was laughing heartily.
"Don't be too happy too soon!" Principal Su gritted his teeth.
On the arena, Ye Lin's Yangshou Blade Technique had already reached the fifteenth layer, and each strike carried terrifying force.
Luo Jun felt unprecedented pressure. Even his palms were cracked and bleeding.
"This can't go on. If it does, I'm definitely going to lose!" A hint of panic flashed in Luo Jun's eyes. The power of each of Ye Lin's strikes was multiplying, as if there was no end to it.
He had to take a desperate gamble to have a chance of winning!
"Shadow Reckoning Strike!"
Luo Jun gripped the end of his black long gun and swung it at Ye Lin with all his might, like a huge pillar.
Ye Lin didn't want to block, but to avoid appearing too extraordinary, he still held his blade horizontally to parry.
This parry sent him reeling backward several steps.
Seeing his strike land, a cruel glint flashed in Luo Jun's eyes.
"Ye Lin, do you think you're the only one who can use forbidden spells?"
"Forbidden spell? Dark Dragon Meteor!"
A brilliant light gathered at the tip of Luo Jun's gun, the forbidden spell he was casting with all his strength.
Under this strike, the entire arena seemed to tremble, and the air was filled with a sense of foreboding, as if this strike could even make a true dragon bleed.
The moment the black long gun pierced out, a blinding light and deafening sound erupted.
Ye Lin felt a tremendous force, and his body was pushed back uncontrollably. A blood hole was slowly expanding on his chest, staining his clothes red.
He looked down and saw that the tip of the black long gun had pierced through his heart, and Luo Jun was looking down at him coldly, his eyes full of triumph and mockery.
