Chapter 36: Lin Bai vs Han Bin
In the arena.
The number of people who were still standing in the arena was decreasing.
Among the people who remained in the arena, other than some of the elites whom the crowd had expected to see, there were also some small groups who stayed together.
When the group of students who stayed together looked around, their gazes locked onto Lin Bai.
“Attack together!” The leader gave the order. Then, the group of students swarmed forward like hungry tigers pouncing on food as they charged towards Lin Bai.
Lin Bai did not dodge them. Instead, they allowed them to push him.
“Why isn’t he falling?!” The students widened their eyes in disbelief.
Was he still human?
Lin Bai grinned, “Could it be that you’re planning on treating me as a pushover?”
However, he might be the toughest person in the entire arena.
“Nine-Colored Yanluo Seal, Second Seal!”
Lin Bai’s hands quickly formed a seal. Very quickly, two seals appeared in the sky. One of the seals was white, while the other was grey. They radiated with a threatening sense of pressure that was enough to make people shiver.
The leader of the group gulped. He had a feeling that if the two seals attacked them at the same time, none of them would be able to resist the attack.
Previously, when he saw Kristen being defeated from the spectator stands, he did not think that this seal skill was that impressive.
However, after personally experiencing this attack, he realized that this seal actually faintly emitted the aura of hell. It made people feel as if their souls had left their bodies.
“I’m starting to think that your title as a Hunter isn’t that bad anymore,” said the leader with a bitter smile. He was clearly admitting defeat.
“You discovered it too late.” Lin Bai smiled. Then, he raised his index finger gently, and two seals shot out at the same time, attacking the group of people.
Bang!
The loud noise was deafening, and the arena shook with smoke.
When the smoke dissipated, the group of students had all fallen to the ground. Some had even lost the strength to get up.
“Nicely done.” A voice rang out. Lin Bai looked towards the voice and saw that it was Han Bin.
Han Bin’s surroundings were filled with students who had been eliminated.
The moment Lin Bai defeated his opponents, Han Bin had also determined the victor among them at an extremely fast speed.
Han Bin brushed off the dust on his body, then looked up at Lin Bai. “So, only the two of us are left, right?”
“This outcome is truly unexpected.”
Lin Bai tilted his head and smiled back.
“From the looks of it, you were able to last until now by relying on the Tumbler Spell… However, don’t forget that not only will you be eliminated if you fall down, you will also be eliminated if you are out of bounds.” Han Bin smiled.
He had actually seen through Lin Bai’s trick with a single glance.
“So do you want to push me out of bounds?” Lin Bai understood the meaning behind Han Bin’s words. “However, you won’t have such an opportunity.”
…
Meanwhile, the professors and elders who were watching the match from above had not expected this outcome.
The two remaining students were actually Han Bin and Lin Bai!
In any case, the former was a seeded player that most people thought highly of, but what about the latter?
Although Lin Bai had obtained a spot as a Hunter, there were only a few people in the entire college who acknowledged his strength.
After all, they had seen the word “Reader” when he first awakened his Class.
That was a low-end Class that was not recorded in any books!
Charlotte and Garth looked at each other, completely at a loss as to how to end this.
As for Cage, although he knew that Lin Bai was not that simple… He did not expect Lin Bai to be able to reach this stage.
In the entire arena, the only person who did not seem surprised was Destin.
Destin narrowed his eyes. There was a smile on his face as he watched the two remaining people in the arena. A tit-for-tat battle was about to begin.
All of a sudden, without any warning, Han Bin moved. A green flame rose from his back and burned fiercely.
“Is that a green flame?!” Someone in the crowd exclaimed in disbelief. “Han Bin actually revealed his trump card!”
For fire-type mages, the color of the fire could be used as a standard to judge the strength of their flame.
In order of ascending strength, there was the most common red flame, the less common green flame, the tyrannical purple flame, and the rare white flame.
It was said that a wisp of white flame could burn a mountain to ashes.
Furthermore, the green flame that Han Bin had summoned was considered extremely rare among Ordinary-Rank Hunters.
“Is that a green flame? You really think highly of me,” said Lin Bai softly.
It looked like Han Bin had no intention of underestimating his opponent.
Such an opponent was the most troublesome.
Lin Bai did not act perfunctorily either. With a wave of his hand, two seals immediately appeared.
Afterwards, the seals on Lin Bai’s hands changed once again. The third seal slowly took shape as well!
This seal was completely green, but it wasn’t a bright green. Instead, it was a strange and deep green seal.
Han Bin’s pupils were constricted. This third seal was much stronger than the first two seals!
However, his green flame might not be at a disadvantage!
“Come!” Han Bin roared. Then, the green flames flew out, clashing head-on with the three seals!
The shockwave from the collision caused dust to rise from the ground.
Garth had a complex expression on his face. Was this really a battle that the students of Sorcha College could unleash?
In the arena, the green flames and the seals were already worn down in an endless deadlock.
In the first exchange of attacks, Lin Bai and Han Bin were evenly matched!
Han Bin flicked his wrist and stretched his muscles. He could not accept this result.
“Again!” He shouted angrily. The green flames rose again, but this time, it did not seem to be just flames.
Instead, the flames condensed and formed the shape of a fierce tiger. This was similar to Kristen’s Fierce Wind Eagle attack.
However, the pressure the tiger showed was clearly much stronger than Kristen’s Fierce Wind Eagle.
“This should be Han Bin’s trump card.” Destin commented.
“So that’s how it is. He has mastered elemental manifestation.” Lin Bai muttered to himself. Lin Bai’s Spirit of Nature allowed him to easily destroy such a beast.
Hence, he snapped his fingers.
[Spirit of Nature: Activated!]
Whoosh!
A sound that sounded like a gust of wind could be heard. Then, the ferocious fire tiger gradually dispersed and lost its shape, as if it had been cut by an invisible blade.
The newly formed fire tiger was instantly defeated!
There was no bloodshed at all!
Han Bin widened his eyes. He simply couldn’t tell what had happened.
Everyone present also began to wonder if they had seen wrongly.
Had Han Bin’s strongest trump card been easily broken through by Lin Bai?!
“Alright, let me end the show now,” said Lin Bai softly with an expressionless face.
Everyone instantly fell silent!
