Cultivation: But Not a Game-Chapter 139 - 68: Defeating Ding Lingyu Again, Merit Well Earned

Chapter 139: Chapter 68: Defeating Ding Lingyu Again, Merit Well Earned

"Indeed it is."

Chu Xinyue’s beautiful eyes sparkled as she softly spoke to Chu Xiaoyu:

"His swordsmanship talent has exceeded my expectations. His level of Swordsmanship has far surpassed his peers. Even in the Xuanzhen Immortal Sect, he wouldn’t be inferior to those carefully nurtured by the Immortal Sect families. What he lacks is an opportunity."

She sighed:

"Taking first place this time, he has a chance to apprentice under that ancestor when entering the sect. His growth will be faster in the future, and it won’t be long before he catches up with me."

Chu Xiaoyu also nodded and said:

"Yes, even if he can’t compete with others to become the direct disciple of the ancestor, the benefits he’s received over the past ten years are enough for him to advance further, and advancing to Loose Immortal is absolutely no problem."

"Earth God Thunder!"

The area within a hundred meters was obliterated by the earth-colored thunder.

"Geng Metal Divine Thunder!"

As the Earth God Thunder had not dissipated, white-gold lightning burst forth.

A second later, the Wood God Thunder followed, and the green lightning symbolizing life silently exploded.

After repeated bombardment, Su Yu exhausted all the mana of the Celestial Ghost, sending the Five Elements Thunder Skill to repeat five full rounds, creating a terrifying total explosion of 350,000, and even after treasure damage reduction, there was still nearly 250,000.

However, this was enough to easily break any tier six defense treasure, but it still couldn’t penetrate Ding Lingyu’s defense.

It was definitely a tier seven defense treasure, with a base defense of nearly 200,000. Coupled with continuous mana infusion into the treasure for endless defense recovery, it withstood his barrage. Even when Su Yu’s Celestial Ghost Transformation mana was exhausted, and his attacks slowed, the defense he had depleted completely recovered, with the treasure light as steadfast as ever, as if nothing had happened.

This is the power of high-level defense treasures, with absurdly strong defense.

Even a novice holding a high-level defense treasure remains unscathed when their mana is not exhausted, no matter how strong the opponent is.

However, Su Yu wasn’t the least bit discouraged. When his mana was exhausted, he charged forward, swinging iron cyan ghost claws furiously, black energies cutting like blades.

A level 60 Celestial Ghost possesses a strength of 6,000, equivalent to a basic attack of 6,000. A press of both claws equals 12,000, not inferior to the Five Elements Thunder Skill’s bombardment earlier.

His Celestial Ghost Transformation mana depleted, Ding Lingyu needed to continually expend mana to maintain his treasure’s defense as well.

On the stage, you cannot use elixirs to recover; you can only use as much mana as you possess. Once mana is exhausted, even the strongest treasure loses its power.

When everyone has high-level treasures, it becomes a matter of attrition.

In this aspect, Su Yu held a major advantage.

Although his Qi Refining Heart Skill was only intermediate, with double the talent boost, it was not inferior to the Refined Level Qi Refining Heart Skill. Both were similarly equipped, and though Ding Lingyu’s mana strength might be slightly higher, it wasn’t by much.

But the Celestial Ghost’s attacks are physical, requiring no mana, and sword control consumes far less mana than treasures.

Combined, in a protracted battle, he would definitely have the upper hand.

The Celestial Ghost embodiment withstood the starry barrage, furiously clawing around Ding Lingyu.

At first, Ding Lingyu remained expressionless, but as his mana gradually depleted, unknowingly over half while his opponent still seemed full of energy, a hint of panic crept into his mind.

Panic leads to haste.

Haste leads to erratic thoughts and a wavering mentality.

"He’s always had everything go smoothly, without ever encountering setbacks."

Many glanced back at Ding Hao, the vice president now seated silently, expression unreadable.

"Boom!"

The Celestial Ghost moved like a phantom, circling behind Ding Lingyu and striking with both claws on the blue light layers draped from the Treasure Pearl above his head, causing the once steadfast light curtain to ripple with slight waves.

"Mana running low?"

Su Yu’s spirit rejuvenated as the Celestial Ghost again turned into smoke, darting past a dozen falling stars, clawing in rapid succession.

With a determined expression, Ding Lingyu once more summoned that treasure mirror to immobilize the Celestial Ghost.

He injected the last of his mana into the Star Gourd, which swelled and burned with silver flames. More stars poured out from the expanding vortex, crazily bombarding the immobilized Su Yu.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

In an instant, at least hundreds of meteors simultaneously descended upon the Celestial Ghost’s head, the successive explosions engulfing it.

Even though individual meteor damage was low, the sheer number at that moment was overwhelming, and finally, the Celestial Ghost couldn’t endure and was vanquished.

Su Yu, in his true form, clasped his hands and conjured two sword energies that cut through the falling stars. One white and one green sword light ascended, dragging long sword arcs as they circled above him, precisely striking each falling meteor.

In mere seconds, with the last meteor split in the air, the Star Gourd, its mana exhausted, couldn’t maintain its flight towards Ding Lingyu.

Su Yu dispelled the mana-draining sword energy as the Sun Concealing Sword and Cyan Sparrow Flying Sword charged towards Ding Lingyu, cutting across one another, the treasure light swirling wildly, forming a tornado of sword lights.

The Sun Concealing Sword deals a max damage of 4140, with a tier seven treasure reducing 30%, remaining at 2898.

The Cyan Sparrow Flying Sword inflicts max damage of 3915, tier seven treasure reducing 30%, remaining at 2740.

Each sword makes twelve damage segments per rotation, the pair delivering twenty-four segments per second, with an explosion reaching up to sixty thousand in an instant.

In just three seconds, the Treasure Pearl atop Ding Lingyu began to waver, the blue light fading to transparency.

With the swords crossing in the fourth second, the previously transparent water curtain shattered inch by inch.

The swords maneuvered around Ding Lingyu’s neck as his Magical Robe flared, emitting a treasure glow that lasted mere seconds before extinguishing. Then the cyan sword light shifted towards his neck, only to be stopped by an invisible force field. The space rippled, directly teleporting him away.
