Chapter 196: 196 Chapter 196: That Brilliant and Dazzling Explosion Lin Moyu forcefully broke into the barrier. Everyone stared at each other in surprise. You’re a mage, not a melee fighter. Why did you break in? Are you planning to swing a sword? Do you even have warrior skills? The barrier flashed with light as the skeleton mages continued attacking. The Holy Knight was still maintaining the barrier and couldn’t move. The summon immediately charged at Lin Moyu. Like a warhorse, the human-sized unicorn crashed into Lin Moyu. With a bang, the Bone Armor flashed brightly. This attack was quite powerful. The Elemental Mage and Fire Mage simultaneously attacked Lin Moyu. Lin Moyu endured the attacks as red light flashed. Skill: Slow Curse! With a hum, the movements of the six people and one beast all slowed down. "It’s a curse!" The Holy Knight had a bad feeling as brilliant light burst from his body. Holy Knights had skills to remove curses. At the same time, the Celine Elder was also casting skills to remove the curse. At this moment, dense skeleton warriors appeared around everyone. They surrounded them the instant they appeared. Skeleton warriors were everywhere - all around, even above. The skeleton warriors unleashed skills as soon as they appeared. Repelling Fire Ring exploded, instantly interrupting many skeleton warriors’ skills and blasting them away. But in less than half a second, Lin Moyu summoned even more skeleton warriors. Lin Moyu didn’t summon all his skeleton warriors at once, guarding against skills like Repelling Fire Ring. A black cloud appeared, causing many skeleton warriors to stop and fall asleep. Skill: Sleep Cloud. The Shadow Mage’s group control skill finally took effect. The summon neighed, raising its hoof. Water pillars burst from the ground, sending many skeleton warriors flying into the sky. As it attacked, skeleton warriors’ skills were already landing on it. Whenever there was a gap, Lin Moyu would summon a batch of skeleton warriors to fill it. The newly summoned skeleton warriors would instantly use skills, regardless of whether they hit or not. The Holy Knight saw this but couldn’t act. He had to maintain the Group Protection skill as the skeleton mages outside continued attacking relentlessly. "This guy is going all out. I’ve never seen a mage fight like this!" "What kind of fighting style is this!" As the skeleton warriors attacked, flames flashed in Lin Moyu’s palm. Skill: Soul Flame! The summon immediately let out a miserable cry. This skill was unbearable for humans, monsters, and summons alike. Then the skeleton warriors’ skills landed on it one after another. The level 50 summon had extremely strong vitality. It didn’t die even after being surrounded by over a dozen skeletons unleashing skills. Lin Moyu’s eyes showed delight - the stronger its vitality, the better. The summoner wanted to heal his summon. But he could barely protect himself now. If not for the Celine Elder’s healing, he would have been eliminated by now. Lin Moyu forcibly turned the mage battle into close combat. The Shadow Mage cast control skills again and again, controlling large numbers of skeleton warriors. These skeleton warriors became like wooden stakes, unable to move. In the blink of an eye, half the skeleton warriors were controlled. The situation seemed to stabilize. But the Holy Knight sensed something was wrong. He realized Lin Moyu’s real target was actually the summon. "Watch out for the summon!" He didn’t know why Lin Moyu was doing this, but there must be a reason. Just like why he charged in - there must be a reason. By the time he shouted, it was too late. As Soul Flame burned again, the summon fell with a miserable cry. Boom! A huge explosion rocked the entire arena. Corpse Explosion appeared for the first time in the arena. The explosion had no light, yet felt brilliant and dazzling. The knight was blasted away, the barrier instantly disappearing. When the knight crashed heavily to the ground and came to his senses, he found all his teammates had appeared below the arena. Now only he remained on the arena. 170 skeleton warriors and 100 skeleton mages were eyeing him fiercely. The knight gave a bitter laugh. What was the point of fighting? It was a loss either way. This wasn’t a fight to the death, just a competition. "You’re really strong!" The knight gave Lin Moyu a thumbs up, then jumped off the arena. A level 50 mage team, defeated by one person. Thunderous applause erupted. Everyone in the audience stood up and clapped. Lin Moyu had given them a breathtaking battle to enjoy. A level 27 career holder, single-handedly defeating a level 50 six-person mage team. Such an amazing battle was worthy of going down in history. The mage who had been standing in mid-air looked at Lin Moyu with increasing admiration. "Well done, young man. Here are your prizes!" With a wave of his hand, a purple-gold potion and a scroll glowing with purple light flew into Lin Moyu’s hands. Advanced Mysterious Potion and Shining Advanced Skill Scroll. Two priceless treasures. Lin Moyu looked up at the sky, "Thank you!" He hesitated whether to continue challenging. His communication device suddenly vibrated. Bai Yiyuan had sent a message at this time. Four words: Quit while you’re ahead! Lin Moyu put away the potion and scroll, bowed to the mage in the sky, then jumped off the arena. Lin Moyu didn’t continue challenging. No one felt it was a pity. It was truly enough already. Winning five rounds of challenges was an unprecedented feat. Lin Moyu’s name had spread throughout the human world. Ning Yiyi came bouncing over, "Moyu, you’re so amazing!" She was happier than anyone about Lin Moyu’s victory. Lin Moyu patted her head, "You’re amazing too!" Ning Yiyi raised her little head proudly, "Of course, I have the best eye for people. How else would I have fallen for you at first sight?" Lin Moyu chuckled. The two left the arena, no longer paying attention to the following matches. For Lin Moyu, the Career Holder Tournament was over. Actually, if not for Bai Yiyuan’s request, he might not have even come to compete. He would have come anyway, but not to compete - to find Lin Mohan. Now it seemed this Career Holder Tournament trip had quite good gains. Not only did he find Lin Mohan, he also obtained many high-level items. And he gained a lot of practical combat experience. Whether for running dungeons or facing demons in the future, it was good accumulation. All in all, it was a worthwhile trip. Someone flew down from the sky, landing in front of Lin Moyu. It was the mage who had just presided over the tournament. He had suppressed his aura, but Lin Moyu could sense he should be an apex career holder over level 80, though not reaching Bai Yiyuan’s level. Lin Moyu bowed to him, "Senior, do you have something to discuss?" He chuckled, his gaze full of appreciation, "Hello Lin Moyu, I’m Jin Peng!" Jin Peng, one of the twelve councilmen of the Divine Summer Empire. A big shot at the same level as Xu Wei. Ning Yiyi wasn’t impressed by Jin Peng’s status at all. She had seen many people of this level, it was nothing special. Lin Moyu said, "Councilman Jin Peng, may I ask what this is about?" Jin Peng smiled, "You’re a student at Summer Capital University, right? This year’s national top scholar, correct?" Lin Moyu nodded. With his status and position, it wasn’t difficult to learn about Lin Moyu’s information. Jin Peng said, "As it happens, I’m also a guest professor at Summer Capital University. I’d like to take you as my student. Are you willing?" The "student" he spoke of wasn’t an ordinary teacher-student relationship. It was a master-disciple relationship, like the one between Lin Moyu and Bai Yiyuan. Lin Moyu wasn’t surprised, but respectfully said, "Thank you for your kindness, Councilman Jin Peng, but I already have a teacher." Jin Peng looked surprised, "Oh, who is it?" At this moment, Lin Moyu’s communication device rang. Lin Moyu smiled slightly, "It’s my teacher calling." "Answer it quickly. Let me see which lucky fellow got to be your teacher." In his eyes, Lin Moyu was a rare top-tier genius. Even stronger than the top students at Summer Capital University. He was very curious who could become Lin Moyu’s teacher. The call connected, and Bai Yiyuan’s voice came through, "Little Peng, are you trying to poach my student?" Jin Peng was startled, showing a wry smile, "Lord White God, so it’s you!" Bai Yiyuan snorted, "The kid Lin is my student. Don’t get any ideas in the future." How could Jin Peng dare to compete with Bai Yiyuan for a student? He immediately said, "If I had known he was Lord White God’s student, I absolutely wouldn’t have come." "Go back and tell those guys to keep Lin’s information confidential. Don’t let irrelevant people see it." "Please rest assured, Lord White God. I’ve already done the confidentiality work." In fact, for any genius worth noting, the Divine Summer Empire would keep their information confidential. After all, there had been incidents of geniuses being assassinated before. Since then, the Divine Summer Empire had put a lot of effort into this aspect. Those important files could only be viewed by high-level officials. But unexpectedly, Councilman Xu Wei turned out to be part of the Devil Worship Society. All this confidentiality work had become useless. Bai Yiyuan continued, "You go take care of things first. After the tournament ends, all of you come over. Old Meng and I have something to discuss with you." Jin Peng’s expression immediately became solemn. He naturally knew that if Bai Yiyuan wanted to see them, it must not be a small matter. "Alright, we’ll come see you together after the tournament ends." After Jin Peng left, Bai Yiyuan continued, "Kid Lin, you’ve been in the spotlight enough these past few days. Come back first, I have a new mission for you." "Yes, teacher."
