Cultivation: But Not a Game-Chapter 138 - 67: All Cards on the Table, Gaining the Upper Hand

Chapter 138: Chapter 67: All Cards on the Table, Gaining the Upper Hand

At a certain moment, the light membrane completely vanished, and Su Yu extended a finger. A white and a cyan sword light spiraled around him and disappeared into the void.

The Thunderbolt Divine General reacted swiftly, thrusting the halberd.

"Boom!"

Infinite thunder light exploded in the air like a hedgehog, and the two flying swords took shape, nimbly and deftly dodging the erupting thunder light like spirit snakes, lunging straight at the divine general.

With a flash and a spark, two streaks of inch-wide Sword Qi burst like lightning and descended.

The divine general held the halberd horizontally in front of him, and the infinite thunder light exploded into a barrier, blocking the twin swords outside.

With his left hand, he conjured a mass of Taiyi Divine Thunder and hurled it out. The violent thunder blast sent the swords flying.

Immediately, with a gesture of his right hand, thick lightning shot forth from the halberd tip, crossing a kilometer in a blink and crashing into Su Yu.

The Celestial Sound Bell didn’t move at all, effortlessly blocking this strike.

Mana infused it, and in an instant, the Celestial Sound Bell’s defense was restored to full.

The mana conversion rate of the Celestial Sound Bell is 300 points. His current mana is as high as 8750, with a maximum infusion rate of 1% per second, 87 points. One point of mana can restore 300 defense, and 87 points of mana can restore 26,100 defense.

What concept is it to restore 26,100 defense per second?

Before his mana is exhausted, it is absolutely impossible to break through the Celestial Sound Bell’s defense.

And his current mana regeneration is 25 points per second, allowing a defense recovery of 7500 per second. Deducting the Celestial Sound Bell’s 30% damage reduction, it can be said that as long as the damage per second does not exceed 10,000, his defense will never be breached to injure him.

"So strong!"

This is the gold content of advanced magical treasures.

He didn’t have it before and could only envy others, but now that he has it, it’s others’ turn to envy him.

Seeing as the defense couldn’t be broken at all after a little test, Ding Lingyu didn’t probe further. He stuck the Thunderbolt Halberd in front of him, clasped his hands, and softly shouted:

"Qianqing Shangyuan Taiyi Divine Thunder Net!"

With a crackling sound from the void, one Taiyi Divine Thunder after another condensed, densely covering the entire arena.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

In an instant, the entire arena space transformed into thunderous chaos. The unimaginable terrifying power of divine thunder reverberated, turning everything to dust.

In just ten seconds, Su Yu witnessed in shock as the Celestial Sound Bell’s defense plummeted frantically, dropping by a whopping 140,000 in one breath.

"Hiss!"

A Tier Seven Treasure can reduce damage by 30%, which means the actual damage from this wave of the Divine Thunder Net approached 200,000.

"Did the enhancement increase so much?" 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Compared to the last small trial, it’s not a mere double increase. There’s at least a 70% tremendous boost.

Su Yu was slightly shocked, yet thankful that the commander bestowed the Celestial Sound Bell upon him. Otherwise, this wave would’ve been unstoppable, even if the Nine Orifice Treasure Pearl was infused with Nine Gang Sha Essence to boost defense by tens of thousands more.

"Having a backer truly is beneficial."

As the thunder gradually dispersed, revealing an unharmed Su Yu, Ding Lingyu stared fixatedly at the Celestial Sound Bell above his head, eyes flickering:

"Tier Seven Defense Treasure!"

"Even a Tier Seven Defense Treasure can’t save you."

After hesitating for just a second, his eyes showed determination. He injected over ten thousand mana into the Thunderbolt Halberd, directly melting the magical treasure’s core, causing the halberd’s light to flicker. In a flash, hundreds and thousands of blood-red lightnings spewed forth, a palpable, dreadful wave spreading out.

"Madness, actually self-destructing a magical treasure!"

Su Yu was taken aback, quickly urging his mana to rapidly repair his defenses.

The next second, the world turned crimson, and a red lightning-clad light flashed like an electric current through the void.

"Clang!"

A huge bell toll echoed, as the Celestial Sound Bell was knocked askew by the blood light. A formidable and indescribable destructive force smashed through the 200,000 defense, causing the treasure bell to shake and fall from above his head.

The Black Water Profound Pearl shimmered, manifesting a Profound Snake Illusion Guardian, which soon extinguished.

But in that moment, it was sufficient for Su Yu to raise his protective aura, firmly defending against the residual impact.

A weapon magical treasure of at least Tier Seven quality self-destructing directly; this move was beyond Su Yu’s expectation. He was once again grateful to have the Celestial Sound Bell, borrowed from Chu Xinyue, for otherwise, this blast surpassing 300,000 damage would have outright killed him.

"With this move gone, let’s see what other tricks you have."

As the aftershocks diminished, Su Yu decisively initiated the transformation, the Sun True Fire flared up.

"Twin Swords Unite!"

With the mana consumption amplified tenfold, in a fleeting instant, the two flying swords vanished, replaced by an extremely radiant blazing white stream of light, disappearing from sight.

The next instant, the Thunderbolt Divine General was encircled by a blazing white stream of light imbued with traces of chill. Instantly, an exceedingly exaggerated string of damage numbers soared up.

-22010

-22015

-22030

...

Sun Concealing Flying Sword damage 4140*2=8280, Cyan Sparrow Flying Sword damage 3915, combined sword total damage is 12195*2=24390, Armor Penetration+5 ignores 50% of physical defense, remaining damage is about 22000.

Thirteen swords in an instant, instantly taking away 280,000 Qi and Blood from Ding Lingyu.

"Taibai Splitting Light Sword!"

The stream of light split, transforming into 38 thinner streams of light blasting down.

-6500

-6502

-6498

.....

On the podium, Ding Hao suddenly stood up, staring intently at the arena, his hands clenched tightly.

Everyone gave him a glance, and many showed a hint of schadenfreude in their smiles.

The 38 blazing white streams swept across, unleashing a terrifying explosive power of 250,000 within just one second, severely injuring the Thunderbolt Divine General in merely two seconds.

If it were the last mini-exam’s divine general with only 400,000 years of health, these two waves would have finished it instantly.

Such terrifying explosive power made Ding Lingyu turn pale with fright, and with hands splayed, a layer of lightning barrier appeared, but it was torn apart in an instant by the stream of light, the razor-sharp Sword Qi easily penetrating the divine general’s defense, leaving fearsome wounds.

Just seven intersecting swords obliterated the divine general’s remaining tens of thousands of Qi and Blood.

The once proud divine body, unbreakable by enemies, felt so powerless today, its arms swinging aimlessly, shattering into pieces.

A white light automatically triggered, rising to block the sword light that flashed by like lightning, revealing Ding Lingyu’s true form. Opening his mouth, he spat out a bright blue Treasure Pearl, suspending it above his head, forming layers of wavy blue light that shielded his whole body like a blue sun.

Thinking that he also has a Tier Seven premium defense Magical Treasure, the strong defense gave Ding Lingyu a sense of safety and confidence.

"So what if you break my transformation, I have more high-ranked Magical Treasures than you, who knows whose victory it will be."

Turning his hand, he took out an ancient mirror decorated with tadpole-like spiritual texts on the surface. With a flip, a white light flew out, immobilizing Su Yu, freezing even his thoughts.

The combined swords could not be sustained because of his loss of concentration, breaking apart into two Flying Swords that forcibly exited the merged state.

Ding Lingyu took the opportunity to take out a silver gourd and tossed it, the gourd rapidly expanded, and the mouth of the gourd unfolded a vortex, from which silver-glowing meteors sprayed out, turning into a sky full of stars, which fell like shooting stars upon his command.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The explosions sounded one after another, and the protective Qi shield quickly collapsed without mana to refill and restore defense, automatically triggering the defense of the Magical Robe.

Three seconds later, Su Yu woke up, his mind moved, urging the Celestial Ghost Transformation Skill. With a flash of clear light, he transformed into a Celestial Ghost, soaring into the sky to avoid the concentrated barrage of meteorites, raising a hand to unleash a Geng Metal Divine Thunder, shaking the blue light above Ding Lingyu’s head.

And this was just the beginning. The next second, the ghost claw formed a mass of green Wood God Thunder, blasting it out.

Gui Water Divine Thunder.

Binghuo Divine Thunder.

Earth God Thunder.

One shot per second, five shots of five thunders in rotation, then the first Geng Metal Divine Thunder’s cooldown was already refreshed.

Su Yu didn’t pause for a moment, madly condensing the Five Elements Thunder Skill, bombarding Ding Lingyu fiercely.

Yet Ding Lingyu was not passively taking hits, urging the Star Gourd to summon meteors formed by thousands of Star Sand, crashing down.

However, under the Celestial Ghost Transformation, the physique reached 3600, and after deducting defense, each star falling only dealt a little over a hundred damage. Su Yu simply stopped dodging, withstanding the meteors as they clashed.

"He can’t keep up anymore."

Gu Zhiqiu, reaching to hold the back of the front row seat, said somewhat excitedly:

"The Star Gourd is also a Tier Seven treasure, containing Star Sand that can transform into stars. The full-power explosion is extremely terrifying, but the instant burst is insufficient, barely breaking Mr. Su’s Celestial Ghost Transformation’s defense. He definitely can’t keep up in a head-to-head clash."

Sitting on the side, Zhuang Zhuo couldn’t hide the excitement on his face and said:

"Mr. Su is too strong, the progress in these three months is too rapid. Last time, he barely won by taking advantage of Ding Lingyu’s carelessness, but this time he can already defeat him head-on."

"And it’s not just a little stronger. Did you notice he just self-detonated a Tier Seven weapon-type Magical Treasure? If it hadn’t self-detonated, Mr. Su’s strongest wave with the combined swords might have instantly killed him."

"Yes, and the combined swords were forcibly broken. If it had lasted a few more seconds, it might have been another instant kill."

"This means Mr. Su’s true strength actually far exceeds Ding Lingyu’s."
