Godslayer: Aizen Template, I will stand in the heavens!

The clash between Li Lian and Wang Mian lasted only about thirty seconds before it stopped. Smoke and dust filled the sky, mixed with scattered flames, and countless messy knife marks lay on the ground.

This place truly deserves to be called a battlefield; even a mortar bombardment would only produce this kind of effect.

Li Lian was exhausted because the Ryujin Jakka Shikai had taken too much to bear. Although his body wasn't under too much strain, he was mentally unable to keep up. If he continued fighting, he would be engulfed in flames by the Ryujin Jakka Shikai.

Left with no other choice, he had to release the Shikai of Ryujin Jakka and sheath the sword.

He wanted to beat Wang Mian, but if he roasted himself into a dried-up corpse just to win, it would be a losing proposition.

Wang Mian also had to stop due to the problem of exhaustion. Using the Divine Ruins for more than thirty seconds at a time was not an easy task for him, and his mental strength was also starting to give out. If he were using the mental strength of the Zhan Realm now, he would have fainted long ago.

Li Lian calculated how many skills he could still unleash, and recalled his battle with Wang Mian. He felt he had gained a great deal, and even without experience points, it was worth the price of admission.

Not only did he enjoy the initial release, but he also came up with a knock-off version of the Nine-Headed Dragon Flash. I have to admit, I'm a genius...

and many more!

A knock-off of the Nine-Headed Dragon Flash?!

Got it! This is not only worth the ticket price, but we might even get some experience points!

Before the Divine Ruins could cool down, Li Lian used Instant Step to appear directly in front of the King's Face, still in the Iai stance.

"You used the same move on me twice? Why do you think you can hit me this time?!"

Wang Mian slashed down with his knife, aiming straight for Li Lian's head!

Li Lian swiftly drew his sword with his right hand and slashed out, but this strike was not aimed at Wang Mian himself; instead, it was aimed directly at the [Yi Yuan] in his hand.

clang!

With the sound of the two weapons clashing, Wang Mian's body was knocked back by the upward Iai Slash, and his feet even felt like they were leaving the ground.

Right between Wang Mian and Li Lian, a flame suddenly appeared and then vanished just as suddenly.

Wang Mian:???

It didn't burn me, did it?

For no reason at all, is he trying to sabotage me again?!

As Li Lian repelled Wang Mian with a single strike, the Flowing Blade Like Fire swiftly grazed the kite, igniting the flames.

Li Lian used the force of his sword strike to spin rapidly around his right foot. To accelerate the spin, he even used the technique of Instant Step!

After spinning around, he stomped his left foot hard on the ground, forcefully stopping his rotation and transferring all the centrifugal force from the spin to his knife!

The rapid rotation combined with the intense flames created a vacuum between Wang Mian and Li Lian!

Wang Mian's feet were still off the ground, and he had no control over his body. He was pulled towards Li Lian by the vacuum created, and what awaited him was the Ryujin Jakka, whose speed had reached its limit after completing the spin!

Yes, Li Lian, on a whim again, came up with another knock-off version—

Flying Sword Style - Ultimate Technique: Heavenly Soaring Dragon Flash!!!

There's no reason why a knock-off version of the Nine-Headed Dragon Flash can be made, but a knock-off version of the Sky Soaring Dragon Flash can't.

Once you start copying something, you'll naturally do it again!

Anyway, the theories are all readily available. The only difference is that Li Lian was afraid that the rotation speed would not be fast enough to create a vacuum, so he deliberately used a burst of flame to consume a wave of oxygen in front of him.

Before Wang Mian could react, he was pulled back by the vacuum. By the time his feet touched the ground, Li Lian's knife was already firmly against his neck, the scorching heat making his hair smell burnt.

Even if you manage to block the dragon's fangs, you will still be blown away by the gale, lose your freedom, and be torn apart by the dragon's claws!

You lost!

Li Lian glanced at the uninjured Wang Mian, took the knife from his neck, sheathed it, and turned to walk towards the onlookers.

Wang Mian touched his slightly burnt hair and couldn't help but ask, "What kind of trick was that you just used?"

Li Lian didn't turn around, but instead turned back to reveal his profile and smiled.

"If you want to learn, I'll teach you!"

"I lost!"

Wang Mian acknowledged Li Lian's abilities. If Li Lian hadn't held back and stopped the blade just now, he might already be dead...

"Ding! Experience points +1400."

Cool! ! !

Hearing the system notification, Li Lian glanced at his experience bar and was overjoyed to find that he was close to leveling up again.

Wang Mian is a good person to get along with! The experience he gave me is almost equal to what I gained from fighting Ghost Face King, who was two realms above me!

However, this is just a new recruit competition. There will be no experience points when facing the king again, which is a real pity!

After putting away his Death Armor and Ryujin Jakka, Li Lian went to his friends who were watching the battle and slowly lit a cigarette.

Li Lian: §≡=(′0｀)y━?~~

"Guys, wasn't I cool in that last game?"

Li Lian exhaled a smoke ring, looking at his still-shocked friends, feeling incredibly satisfied, like eating a slice of ice-cold watermelon on a hot summer day.

Fortunately, he insisted on fighting King Mian of Chijing; otherwise, his act of showing off would have been somewhat less convincing.

Things are different now. I'm the strongest among the recruits! Hehehe~~~

"Li Lian, you bastard, you always hold back when you practice your sword with me? I didn't see you use those two moves just now!"

Lin Qiye gritted his teeth and said, "I didn't ask you to teach me the new thing you came up with yourself, did I? You won't even show it off?"

Li Lian, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, spread his hands to indicate his innocence. "Those two moves just now were really something I came up with during the fight, purely rudimentary sword techniques."

Moreover, it requires a very high level of physical fitness; if I don't make a breakthrough, I probably won't be able to use it.

"Then what do we do now?"

Lin Qiye and his group looked at the recruit training base, which consisted of only a few dormitory buildings and a martial arts arena, and felt a chill run down their spines.

Everyone was excited when making the plan, happy when planting the bomb, and it was indeed exhilarating when the bomb exploded.

But now that it's all over, I feel a little uneasy!

Molly suddenly raised her hand high, "I wasn't involved in your house-destroying plan, I was just fighting the [Masked] squad normally, don't drag me into it!"

"It doesn't matter. Just tell the instructors that and see if they believe you or not."

Li Lian continued smoking, glancing discreetly at the hidden camera, and then addressed everyone:

"Now is the time for the instructors to figure out what to do; we just need to wait for news!"

Underground, observation room.

"Commander! The [Masked] team has all lost! What should we do!?"

Yuan Gang: (? Yi?)

What else can we do? Just let it be!

Who knew this batch of recruits would be so high quality? Even the Masked Squad couldn't hold their own!

Fortunately, these guys didn't want to ruin the recruit training camp; they clearly wanted some benefits, practically begging for them...

This time, we probably won't be able to handle these troublemakers without incurring significant losses!

No, not a troublemaker!

He couldn't afford to offend these old men; they were practically his living ancestors!

He's really tired of being the head instructor; let whoever wants to be the instructor take over!
