Cultivation Simulator: Shocking the Academy

Li Qing gently shook his head, a trace of a helpless smile appearing on his face, "Alright, since it's just a friendly match, let's keep it to that." His voice was calm and powerful, as if carrying an unquestionable authority.

Hearing Li Qing agree to the spar, Liu Wenlong's face immediately lit up with a hint of excited fighting spirit, "Then I shall not hold back, senior!" He took a deep breath, and his entire demeanor abruptly changed.

No sooner had he finished speaking, Liu Wenlong's entire person transformed into a gray afterimage, spinning rapidly like a fierce whirlwind suddenly charging at the motionless Li Qing! The surrounding air seemed to be driven by this gust, forming a strong mini gale sweeping across the entire field.

Luo Chen's expression changed dramatically! He had never seen such a bizarre skill before; turning into a whirlwind? How astounding a soul force would it take to accomplish that? He stared with wide eyes, closely watching the changes in the field.

Others around also fled from the reach of the whirlwind, staring dumbfounded at the ferocious attack. They secretly worried for Li Qing, uncertain if he could withstand this sudden intense assault.

Boom~~ With a loud bang, the whirlwind passed through, and Li Qing seemed to be shredded apart, dissolving into a mass of pale golden fragments that slowly disappeared on the spot. This scene left everyone dumbstruck, unable to believe their eyes. Could it be that Li Qing had been defeated just like that?

Yet, just as everyone was in shock, Li Qing's figure suddenly reappeared at the original location as if he had never moved at all. He looked at Liu Wenlong with a calm demeanor, his face unchanged. Liu Wenlong also gradually showed his true form, with a bead of sweat on his forehead. Obviously, that earlier move had consumed quite a bit of his energy.

"You are indeed not simple." Li Qing said, his voice carrying a hint of appreciation. Although he seemed to easily withstand Liu Wenlong's attack, it actually required a fair amount of effort. This young man's strength should not be underestimated.

Liu Wenlong also showed a serious expression, "Thank you, senior, for your guidance." He clasped his hands in thanks, gaining a deeper understanding of Li Qing's power. Although this sparring was brief, he benefited greatly.

The surrounding crowd erupted into warm applause and cheers, celebrating the wonderful duel between the two masters. They knew that today's competition was destined to become a legendary tale in the Martial Arts Realm of the Divine Fire Empire.

However, just as Liu Wenlong was about to launch a challenge, he suddenly heard a strange sound coming from above. The sound was like drops of mercury gently hitting the ground or crystals colliding, clear and melodious. He instinctively looked up, only to see the previously scattered pale golden fragments now floating in mid-air, shimmering with an enchanting luster.

Then, with the force of a thunderbolt, those fragments rapidly converged into an overwhelming golden torrent, like a golden waterfall descending from the sky, carrying an unstoppable momentum.

"No!" Liu Wenlong screamed in shock, his eyes filled with fear and disbelief. He tried to evade, but the speed of the golden torrent was too fast, engulfing him completely in an instant.

Everyone was stunned by the scene, watching helplessly as the golden torrent swallowed Liu Wenlong and then violently sprayed the golden fragments in all directions like a flood. The dazzling light almost blinded them, forcing them to squint, striving to observe the breathtaking spectacle.

However, at that moment, a bizarre situation once again unfolded before everyone's eyes. The overwhelming golden torrent suddenly vanished without a trace, as if it had never appeared. Liu Wenlong stood unharmed in the same spot, beads of sweat covering his forehead, his expression one of lingering fear.

Simultaneously, Li Qing was floating calmly in mid-air on the balcony, radiating a brilliant pale golden aura. That aura seemed to merge with him, exuding a mysterious and powerful force.

"What... what is this?" Liu Wenlong was dumbfounded, staring blankly at Li Qing, attempting to find answers from the senior's face.

Li Qing slowly descended, speaking calmly, "These are Star Fragments, a skill I just learned. They can serve as a means of attack or confuse the enemy."

Upon hearing this, Liu Wenlong's doubt deepened, "Then why wasn't I attacked just now?" he couldn't help but ask.

However, as soon as he spoke, he realized the reason. Li Qing had no intention of actually attacking him; it was all just a warning and lesson. With this revelation, a shadow crossed Liu Wenlong's face.

But he quickly adjusted his emotions, suddenly breaking into loud laughter, trying to uplift his expression to not appear so dejected. He took a deep breath and clasped his hands towards Li Qing, saying, "Senior Li Qing is indeed formidable, Liu Wenlong is full of admiration. However, I will come to challenge you again, hoping by that time it will be worth you showing your true strength!"

With that, Liu Wenlong's figure once again transformed into a small whirlwind, swiftly darting down from the second floor of the Dark Night Tower. The force of the wind was so fierce as if to overturn the entire building. The crowd felt a blur before their eyes, and then Liu Wenlong vanished from everyone's sight, leaving only the sound of the howling wind echoing in their ears.

Luo Chen blinked and looked around, only to see that everyone had a dazed expression, as if they had not yet recovered from the astonishing scene just now. He himself was somewhat bewildered, unsure of what happened, only instinctively exclaiming, "That guy is really amazing!"
