Chapter 100: Chapter 99: Battle with the Time Variation Seal
Mu Enqing called the other teachers over and recounted Tang San\'s performance to them.
Upon hearing this, Mu Yunyu\'s face showed sheer astonishment, while Guan Longjiang pulled Wu Bingji aside to inquire. Si Ru appeared the calmest, but his gaze never left Tang San.
Not just the students, but these teachers also were very eager to see how Tang San would face Gu Li\'s Time Variation Seal.
After resting for about fifteen minutes, Tang San stood up again with the sparkle back in his eyes.
Seeing this, Wu Bingji\'s mouth twitched, although he hadn\'t meditated, he was still far from fully recovering his own consumption. What\'s the deal with you, you recovered in just fifteen minutes?
The characteristic of Tang San\'s Mysterious Heaven Method was its endless vitality, and the battle with Wu Bingji had not drained much of his cultivation. Furthermore, the Spirit Rhinoceros Heart Eye had strong recovery effects on spiritual power. Naturally, he didn\'t need too much time.
"Senior Brother Gu Li, we can begin," Tang San said.
"Alright."
Under the watchful eyes of the four teachers and the other fourteen students, Tang San and Gu Li stood twenty meters apart.
"Ready!" Mu Enqing was still in charge of officiating.
Both parties radiated light from their bodies, and Gu Li\'s gaze instantly took on a somewhat ethereal quality.
Looking into his eyes, Tang San felt as if he saw the future and the past. This Time Variation Seal is really interesting!
Gu Li\'s body also began to change, with the Time Variation Seal endowing him with great defensive power, an effect of the Time Crocodile Bloodline.
The light rising from Tang San was, of course, still azure. Under the stimulation of the Wind Wolf Transformation Bloodline Brand, a green light swirled around his body.
"Begin!" With Mu Enqing\'s command, this unique battle commenced.
Tang San almost without hesitation, flung out his hands, and two wind blades shot directly toward the opposing Gu Li.
Gu Li, on the other hand, took large strides towards him, and with a flash in his gaze, the surrounding space-time suddenly warped for an instant.
At that moment, Tang San felt as if everything had solidified for an instant—it was a freeze of the entire space-time continuum. The wind blades in the air halted, his own body also paused, even his breathing and the circulation of his blood. His heartbeat missed half a beat.
Gu Li himself was unaffected and continued striding towards Tang San.
In the next instant, Tang San had returned to normal, but the two wind blades he had released were visibly disordered, deviating from their original trajectory.
Just then, Tang San released two more wind blades with his hands, and at the same time, his toes lightly tapped the ground, and his body drifted backward.
By this time, Gu Li had covered several meters. He was confident the wind blades ahead had lost any threat to him and prepared to surge forward a few more meters before controlling.
But the wind blades released by Tang San a second time were incredibly fast; they were not aimed at Gu Li but at the two wind blades ahead.
The subsequent wind blades collided with the ones in front, and a bizarre scene unfolded: the wind elements of the four wind blades actually merged together, forming two wind blades, and then, propelled by the ones following, they slashed towards Gu Li.
At this moment, Gu Li had just burst out five meters, taking his fourth step.
While taken aback, he had no choice but to use the Time Variation Seal\'s time control again to forcefully bring everything around him to a standstill.
With the support of the wind element, Tang San had already flown backwards several meters, increasing the distance that had initially been close.
The effect of the Time Variation Seal expired in the next instant, and Gu Li moved a few meters closer, while Tang San\'s body backed away once more, retreating to the side. At the same time, another two wind blades flew out.
The two wind blades that had merged from the previous four were about to explode, but then they were caught up by the two new ones, stabilizing once again, and their might even increased a notch, still pursuing Gu Li.
This control left Wu Bingji, who was watching from the side, dumbfounded. The only thought in his mind was: Is this even possible? Can you do this?
In the past few days, he had felt that he had grasped the true essence of elemental control and found the direction to move forward. But when he saw Tang San merging elements in the void like this, he realized that his so-called true essence was far from sufficient.
Gu Li was also startled because the wind blades that had been hit again were noticeably closer to him. Although he had great confidence in his own defensive power, he had witnessed Tang San use Wind God Slash to cut through nine ice shields. He dared not take that powerful Wind God Slash head-on.
The students of Redemption Academy had a completely different understanding of Tang San\'s wind blades than they did of regular wind blades.
Once again, Gu Li had to activate Time Variation Seal, causing time to halt once more.
Tang San\'s body paused, the wind blades paused. Gu Li\'s large tail whipped fiercely against the ground behind him, propelling his body to accelerate forward.
As the time coagulation lifted in the next instant, just as Tang San was preparing to withdraw and release another wind blade, the light in Gu Li\'s eyes flickered with nothingness, and he executed Time Freeze again.
He didn\'t give Tang San another chance to release wind blades and merge them in the void. Even if it meant his own instantaneous energy consumption increased, he wanted to rapidly catch up and deliver a heavy blow to Tang San.
This control even made Mu Enqing\'s eyes light up. The sudden change in the rhythm of control was done very well.
Indeed, without further reinforcement, the wind blades that had been frozen for the second time finally collapsed. And Gu Li finally rushed in front of Tang San. In order to save time, he didn\'t even bother to use his tail to attack and instead lowered his head, aiming directly at Tang San\'s chest with the top of his head. At the same time, he executed his third consecutive Time Freeze just as Tang San was about to release his control.
The triple consecutive control was the pinnacle that Gu Li could achieve. And such rapid continuous use of his abilities would greatly increase the consumption rate of his bloodline power.
Finally, his head collided with Tang San\'s chest. Even if Tang San\'s abilities were strong and his control high, he had nowhere to hide. He could only be hit. Such was the terrifying control power that came with the formidable Second Stage of the Demon God Transformation.
Compared to Wu Bingji, Gu Li fell far short in terms of bloodline intensity. He was only at the Fourth Stage, while Wu Bingji was at the Sixth Stage. Tang San was already at the Middle of the Fifth Stage. However, Gu Li\'s continuous control meant that Tang San\'s advantages couldn\'t be leveraged; he was directly countered and closed in on.
"Bang!" Gu Li\'s head fiercely collided with Tang San\'s chest.
The teachers were all ready to intervene. To almost everyone, Tang San appeared to be the kind of person good at elemental control but weak in defense. This was also their understanding of the characteristics of the wind element. The wind element directly helped with speed, wind blades had strong cutting power, and the nature of the wind element was freedom. But it was not known for defense. Even if he could condense a Wind Shield, it could not possibly have the strong defensive power of an Ice Shield, especially since Tang San didn\'t even have time to form a Wind Shield.
However, just when Gu Li\'s head collided with Tang San\'s chest, he suddenly felt a suction force coming from Tang San\'s chest. As his head hit, Tang San\'s body was not directly blown away.
Tang San\'s chest and abdomen caved in momentarily, looking as though Gu Li had struck him, but Gu Li himself could feel that the blow hadn\'t landed solidly. Then, he felt the suction force.
It was a chilling absorption, and having used Time Variation Seal to employ Time Freeze thrice in a row, Gu Li\'s bloodline was in a state of intense boiling and rapid consumption. This sudden absorption by Tang San made everything go dark before Gu Li\'s eyes, his body felt weak, and the impact of his charge instantly diminished.
To others, it seemed as though Tang San\'s body had surged up at the moment of impact, retreating with the force of Gu Li\'s charge.
