Demon Taming: Start by synthesizing a Lantern Ghost with Divine and Demonic Talents

Chapter 108: Soaring to the Clouds, Blessed with Good Fortune
When the two sides met halfway up the mountain, Huang Tianhe was dumbfounded to see that Li Chunfeng was protected by a crimson light that was five zhang in diameter.

"Just in time!"

Huang Tianhe's eyes were solemn, but his fighting spirit remained undiminished. Holding two golden hammers, he charged forward, shouting, "Fight!"

"war!"

His four teammates behind him shouted in unison, formed a battle formation, and surrounded Li Chunfeng.

Huang Tianhe flashed forward, his escape light flashing, and a warhammer transformed into a size of several dozen feet, which then slammed down on the spot like a city-shaking hammer.

Just as Li Chunfeng was about to escape, he discovered that the space was imprisoned.

This move even has a locking and immobilizing effect.

Since I couldn't dodge it right away, I won't dodge it anymore.

He could easily 'blink' away, but there's no need.

Li Chunfeng simply threw a punch in mid-air. The flying fist blasted out, and the faint silver psychic fist grew in the wind, instantly becoming the size of a truck cab, comparable in size to the city-breaking giant hammer.

With a deafening crash, a powerful shockwave spread outwards, snapping trees, dead branches, and weeds within a radius of several meters.

However, in this head-on collision, neither side managed to gain any advantage.

Both of them felt a chill run down their spines at the same time, "Earth Rank!"

Indeed, a great reputation is well-deserved.

Huang Tianhe's city-breaking giant hammer was even slightly superior, after all, Li Chunfeng was currently under the blessing of crimson light.

Li Chunfeng immediately pointed a finger, and the 'Binding Demon Spell + Curse Shackles' descended.

Huang Tianhe reacted even faster, his demonic energy suddenly erupting, and he transformed into a giant with a bear-faced tattoo, over ten feet tall. He forcefully used his immense blood and qi to dispel the two cursed seals.

But this half-breath delay is enough; the bombing must still be carried out.

"Boom!"

As Li Chunfeng's combo descended, the red moon hung high in the sky, and black lightning struck down like a divine sword.

Huang Tianhe was struck by black electric lightning. Streaks of electricity raged and danced all over his body, his long hair stood on end, black smoke billowed from his head, and half of his face was blackened by the explosion.

It seems very impressive.

actually not.

The previously invincible 'Red Moon-Black Thunder' only made Huang Tianhe look slightly disheveled.

Li Chunfeng could sense that the black lightning had not truly harmed his physical body.

"What incredible physical defense!"

Li Chunfeng immediately flipped his hand, and the Demon Axe appeared in his grasp. With a backhand strike, he locked onto the giant with the Chaotic Ancient Guillotine. The phantom of the guillotine manifested in mid-air, as if a heavenly decree had been issued, ordering his immediate execution.

The giant that Huang Tianhe transformed into roared to the sky, unleashing a powerful and majestic demonic aura. His soul power surged, and lightning instantly filled the sky. Layers of thunderclouds transformed into 'raging thunder' that fell continuously, fiercely bombarding the guillotine and shattering it.

Li Chunfeng, protected by a shield of psychic energy, broke free from the lightning.

The bolts of lightning fell, but were all protected by a layer of pale silver barrier, failing to cause Li Chunfeng any harm.

Huang Tianhe's heart skipped a beat. He knew his own limitations; his innate spell, 'Raging Thunder,' was a high-grade Earth-rank spell, yet it had left Li Chunfeng completely unharmed. Given that their cultivation levels were roughly equal, could it be that his mental shield had already reached the Heaven-rank?

He had no idea that his wild guess would actually be the truth.

But if he knew, he would probably be even more surprised.

Li Chunfeng's first attack failed, but his offensive did not stop. With a flap of his black wings, he rushed towards Huang Tianhe again like lightning, unleashing a continuous barrage of axe shadows, slaughtering in all directions!
Huang Tianhe landed on his feet, his whole body radiating yellow light, as the axe continued to strike, causing fragments of energy to scatter everywhere.

His body trembled continuously, and he was slashed so hard that he was forced to crawl and almost fell to the ground.

"roar~"

Having suffered repeated heavy blows, Huang Tianhe also had his temper. Suddenly, he unleashed all his blood and demonic energy, and a huge phantom of an earth war bear appeared behind him. He leaped into the air, and the ground was violently shaken, creating a huge crater.

It was a 'roaring roar that split the earth'.

This move originally had the special effect of creating a seismic shockwave, but since Li Chunfeng didn't even touch the ground, he was naturally spared from the shockwave.

Using the recoil, Huang Tianhe leaped into the air again. The Golden Hammer in his hand shone with divine light, transforming into two giant hammers the size of millstones. He slammed them down from the air, intending to clash head-on with the Chaotic Ancient Demon Axe.

Li Chunfeng's Chaotic Ancient Demon Axe was only a first-tier demon weapon, and he was unwilling to clash with his divine weapon, the Golden Hammer.

He twisted and stepped in mid-air, standing in a bow stance, his left palm holding an axe to block in front of him, his right fist retracted to his waist, and his blood, qi, and spirit suddenly erupted.

"Ang~"

Listen to the dragon's roar!

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathered in the void and landed on his fist. Flames suddenly ignited, and a burning dragon head surged out from between his fists.

The 'Flame Dragon Wave Fist' was unleashed, transforming into a powerful flame dragon that engulfed the giant.

Huang Tianhe was knocked down from the sky.

The hair smelled burnt, but the injury wasn't serious.

When the skin is thick and tough.

Not only does it possess formidable physical defense, but it also boasts exceptional regenerative abilities.

Li Chunfeng knew that this was a bloodline talent ability brought by the Earth War Bear.

The two fought quickly, exchanging blows one after another, with loud "boom boom boom" sounds constantly erupting in the air, and energy shockwaves spreading out in waves.

In the blink of an eye, many viewers outside the theater didn't even get a clear look at what happened.

Two figures were seen rapidly approaching each other, only to be blasted apart in a collision. In the blink of an eye, they had exchanged many blows, leaving even the famous commentator struggling to keep up.

Each move is magnificent and powerful.

Let alone second-order, even third-order might not be able to withstand it.

Viewers were not surprised that Huang Tianhe possessed such powerful close-combat abilities, but the fact that Li Chunfeng's close-combat abilities were equally formidable, and even slightly superior, was truly unexpected.

While the "Stop Fighting with a Weapon" talisman certainly played a part, the sheer brilliance of the battle left the audience breathless.

"Young people these days are really something!"

Li Chunfeng's six black wings fluttered, and he stepped out with the Wind and Thunder Steps, accompanied by the faint sounds of wind and thunder.

He then unleashed another 'Heaven-Shattering Slash' with his other hand.

With a deafening roar, his body was propelled into the sky, while Huang Tianhe crashed to the ground once again.

A giant rock was shattered into dust on the spot, and a gust of wind turned it into sand and dust that flew in all directions.

Huang Tianhe looked rather disheveled, and upon looking around, he realized that he was now all alone.

During the battle, Li Chunfeng was still able to keep an eye on his surroundings and had already eliminated all his teammates.

At this moment, Li Chunfeng truly stood in mid-air like a dark god, with six long and flowing black wings rising and falling, and his scarlet, narrow eyes looking down through his helmet with a cold expression.

Countless lantern ghosts stood behind him, like stars surrounding their god.

The mighty giant that Huang Tianhe transformed into had bear whiskers on his face, bared his teeth, and roared at the sky.

Li Chunfeng snorted coldly, "The strength of the 38th on the Robbery Ranking has come to an end."

With a flick of his finger, flames erupted from the countless lantern ghosts, unleashing a barrage of countless soul fireballs. Among these thousands of fireballs, there was also a tiny, inconspicuous one.

Huang Tianhe roared and planted his feet deep into the earth, drawing power from the earth to defend himself. A yellow protective aura reappeared around him.

This time, however, his proud protection of the earth failed to work.

A layer of white light enveloped his body.

The spirit of the formation intervened, determining that he could not withstand the attack and was in mortal danger.

Huang Tianhe stared in astonishment, then was teleported away with a look of resentment on his face.

Teleported back to the arena, Huang Tianhe still sported half-black, half-burnt hair, his face filled with disbelief. "How could he possibly break through my Earth Guardian! Impossible!"

"team leader!"

The team members behind him all looked ashamed.

Shan Hai team wins!
The first team to advance to the finals.

Li Chunfeng once again pulled off a spectacular solo annihilation of an entire team!

Hu Yifei and the others were still climbing when they were teleported back, still somewhat dazed and unsure what had happened. Huang Tianhe went straight to Li Chunfeng, who was about to step down from the stage, and asked, "Is this your full strength? How did you break through my Earth Guardian?"

Li Chunfeng's white bone mask was expressionless, his eyes indifferent. He glanced at him and walked straight down.

"The battle is over! Please maintain order!"

The referee spoke up to remind them.

Huang Tianhe frowned and shouted, "I look forward to fighting again in Yuan City!"

Upon returning to their camp, Li Chunfeng and his group were immediately greeted with a warm welcome by Yan Liguang and others. To avoid affecting the upcoming finals, the vice-dean even provided them with precious recovery pills to help them regain their strength.

Next up was the showdown between the Buzhou Academy and the Xuanyuan Academy teams.

Because it concerns their opponents in the finals, they naturally pay close attention throughout the entire process.

Li Chunfeng also witnessed a spectacular duel, the match between the two teams being even more exciting than their own.

Because both teams have many Yuancheng players, whose average strength is extremely high.

Everyone was given a great opportunity to perform.

That's when it looks lively and bustling.

Unlike them, most of them were led by Li Chunfeng alone.

There are many different opinions about why Li Chunfeng was only in the eighteen teams of the Mountain and Sea Academy and why he was unable to participate in the individual competition.

Some say he disdained to participate, others say he only wanted to bring his friends to the competition out of loyalty and righteousness, and still others speculate about conspiracy theories such as internal divisions within the Shan Hai Academy—there are all sorts of reasons.

Official reporters also tried every means to interview Li Chunfeng.

Naturally, they couldn't get an interview, and Li Chunfeng declined all interviews. But these resourceful people actually managed to contact Hu Yifei.

Hu Yifei was initially quite happy to hear that a reporter was coming to interview him. However, his enthusiasm immediately waned upon hearing the question. "There's no other nonsense reason. Li Chunfeng simply returned late. By the time he returned from his training in the Ghost Realm, the selection competition had already ended, so he could only participate in the team competition."

"It's that simple?"

"if not."

"May I ask what your relationship is?"

"We are roommates."

Hu Yifei was getting impatient. "I know what you guys are thinking. We're just riding on his coattails, so what? Whether it's a team competition or an individual competition, Li Chunfeng can sweep the entire field by himself. So in his team, who his teammates are doesn't really matter. Anyway, everyone's riding on his coattails, so what does it matter who his teammates are?"

The reporter was speechless for a moment, but then realized that it was indeed true.

Which team doesn't have a top-tier player?

It's just that Li Chunfeng's thigh is exceptionally thick.

As the exciting battle came to an end, both sides fought back and forth, suffering heavy losses.

The fact that the two teams were too evenly matched was also a bad thing, as they suffered heavy losses at one point, and the outcome was not truly decided until the very last moment.

Only two people remained on the battlefield.

In the end, the host team, Buzhou Academy, narrowly defeated the captain of Xuanyuan team, but he himself was seriously injured.

Thus, the teams for the finals have all been determined.

Shan Hai Academy, War, Buzhou Academy!
Before the finals begin, Kunpeng Academy will compete with Xuanyuan Academy for third place.

However, it was later reported that several key members of the Xuanyuan team were seriously injured, including their captain, who was no longer able to fight and could only send substitute players to play.

Although the Kunpeng Academy team suffered a crushing defeat, they also lost decisively.

The difference in strength between the two sides was too great. Both sides' deadly attacks were intercepted by the array spirits, but their remaining strength was preserved.

In the end, Kunpeng Academy benefited from the situation and took third place without much effort.

But Huang Tianhe didn't seem happy.

Finally, the highly anticipated finals have arrived.

Just before the match, the audience discovered that two of the Buzhou Academy team's main players had been replaced by two substitutes. The remaining three, including their captain, were playing with injuries.

It's all because we pushed ourselves too hard before, that's why we've ended up in this state.

Unless it's a fatal injury, the spirit array won't intervene.

In comparison, it becomes clear that Li Chunfeng's moves were indeed ruthless; all those he eliminated were teleported away by the array spirit. In other words, his moves were deemed fatally threatening by the array spirit.

The audience was also discussing the state of Buzhou Academy.

I wonder how much the Buzhou Academy team has recovered, and whether it will affect their performance in the finals?
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that they are deliberately creating a diversion and showing weakness to the enemy.

That's how the finals were arranged. Shan Hai Academy fought their way through round after round, and the fact that their lineup remained intact is a testament to their skill. There's nothing unfair about it.

The finals have begun!
The two bigwigs from Yuancheng in the Shanhai Academy team were sent away first by Li Chunfeng.

Since you're injured, you might as well go back and lie down; why force yourself to keep going?

Li Chunfeng then toned down his tactics, only providing support from the sidelines and occasionally harassing the enemy to minimize losses on his side, while also allowing Hu Yifei and the others to make their mark. At this point, a few injuries were insignificant; they could always go back to bed and recover.

They clearly knew this was their chance to shine, and they both fought hard, resulting in a fiercer battle than expected.

However, with the semi-finals being so impressive, viewers felt that the final was somewhat lacking in excitement.

Finally, Hu Yifei and his team had their fill of fighting. Amidst the frustrated gazes of the Buzhou Academy team members, they outnumbered their opponents and eliminated them.

"we won!"

Hu Yifei leaped up.

The crowd was still somewhat dazed, but then they realized what was happening and shouted excitedly, "We're the champions!"

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, a phantom image of a Heavenly Spirit Ranking appeared.

The inscription on it reads "Qingyunbang" in large characters.

The good wind carries me to the blue clouds with its power.

On the Qingyun Ranking, golden etched characters danced like tadpoles, listing names one by one.

The tenth...the sixth Mountain and Sea Battle Team One...the third, the second, the first.

When Li Chunfeng's name appeared at the very top, he suddenly felt his mind clear.

It felt as if something had landed on me, but upon closer inspection, it seemed as if nothing had happened.

But deep within his mind, the fragmented jade disc hadn't forgotten what had just happened. His consciousness sank into his mind, communicating with the fragmented jade disc. A flash of light appeared on the jade disc, and it actually repaired a few cracks.

This scene suddenly filled Li Chunfeng with immense excitement.

I'm even happier than if I had personally led the team to victory in the championship.

The concept of destiny has always been ethereal and unpredictable, but it turns out it's all true!
"The damaged jade disc actually requires its own destiny to be repaired?!"

The jade disc had absorbed the fortune and seemed to have undergone some other changes. However, this was not a good place to examine it carefully, so Li Chunfeng could only suppress his excitement and wait until he returned to investigate.

Meanwhile, Chen Lingsu and Jiang Lele, who were standing nearby, suddenly exclaimed in surprise after being listed on the Qingyun Ranking.

"What's wrong?" Hu Yifei looked at Chen Lingsu in surprise.

Chen Lingsu's face flushed with excitement, "I...I might be about to break through to the Divine Aperture."

"Me too!" Jiang Lele was equally excited.

"Huh? So sudden?"

Li Chunfeng instantly understood what had happened. "They're blessed with good fortune and luck; it seems their breakthrough opportunity has arrived."

So they reported it to their teacher, Xu Mochen, who immediately arranged for the two to find a place to go into seclusion, which naturally kept them very busy.

As for receiving awards, nothing is more important than awakening one's divine potential.

Not only Chen Lingsu and Jiang Lele, but everyone made significant progress after this trip to the Qingyun Ranking, especially Hu Yifei. Although he kept saying he didn't care if others said they were sucking up to powerful figures, he was extremely competitive inside and had been diligently cultivating and striving to improve himself.

His efforts have yielded remarkable results, with each battle showing improvement over the last. He is the most outstanding member of the team besides Li Chunfeng.

The team competition has ended, but the individual competition is about to begin.

Zhou Si and the others had no chance to relax at all.
