Caught it?
Feeling the heavy halberd in his hands firmly clamped and unable to advance an inch, Ji Huai's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.
During the battle, he was also observing the five people on the field.
This was an instinctive action borne from his countless battle experiences.
To Ji Huai, Qin Chuan's performance in the multiple exchanges just now was noteworthy. Although not the main assailant, each of his moves was quite crucial.
That's why, when facing Qin Chuan's binding power, Ji Huai for the first ti lted the tal in both hands into a single entity, forming a heavy halberd.
Such an offensive move, with its power greatly surpassing that of the previous ones, was expected by him to break through Qin Chuan's binding power and instantly neutralize his combat ability.
But Qin Chuan gave him a surprise.
Iron filings, huh...
Ji Huai glanced at the nurous black particles tumbling through the water current.
Indeed, he knows how to learn and adapt on the fly.
With a thought from Ji Huai, the heavy halberd, which was firmly clamped by the Water Hand, instantly disassembled, breaking free from the water's restraint before Qin Chuan could react and reassembled into a long-handled giant axe in Ji Huai's hands, slashing horizontally at him.
Seeing that powerful and heavy strike, Qin Chuan's eyes twitched, hurrying to block it with the water current.
"Clang—"
With another sound of tal clashing, all the water converged into a giant hand, firmly gripping the sharp edge of the giant axe.
Qin Chuan breathed a sigh of relief and felt a sense of exhilaration from the successful adaption and use of iron filings.
After the addition of iron filings, the power he exhibited with Dark Current Binding was clearly enhanced.
Knowledge really is power!
Ji Huai's expression was unchanged as he once again restructured the giant axe in his hands into a broadsword that slashed down, then transford into a pair of heavy maces that he swung and smashed continuously.
Standing in place, his attack speed increased with each strike, each ti with a new tactic, forcing Qin Chuan to bring his full focus to changing the water current in response.
"Clang clang clang—"
The sounds of tal clashing rang out, causing the students in the four formations to exchange glances.
After all, Ji Huai had just displayed crushing strength, but now, when facing Qin Chuan, he hadn't been able to prevail imdiately and was instead stuck in a standoff.
Is Qin Chuan that strong?
The students from Class 7 seed to have recognized Qin Chuan anew, while those from other classes who didn't know Qin Chuan's na were now inquiring and getting to know this handso youth.
After about twenty exchanges, Qin Chuan suddenly felt dizzy, and his expression rapidly changed.
This indicated that his extraordinary energy was nearly depleted!
Unlike him, Ji Huai still moved swiftly, showing no sign of exhaustion.
What's going on?
His extraordinary value of 385 was depleting faster than his opponent's value of 370?
Before Qin Chuan could figure this out, Ji Huai stopped attacking.
"Not a bad reaction," Ji Huai spoke for the first ti during the one-on-five battle.
In the next mont, while Qin Chuan stared in astonishnt, the weapon, which had reford into a spear in Ji Huai's hands, gently touched the water current, and the iron filings in the water were instantly pulled out of Qin Chuan's control and absorbed into the spear.
Having lost the boost from the iron powder, Dark Current Binding could no longer restrain the long gun made of tallic hands that Ji Huai had consolidated. Qin Chuan felt only a blur before the gun blade was resting on his shoulder.
Iron powder was tal as well.
For a mont, Qin Chuan looked at Ji Huai with a more complex gaze.
So, Ji Huai could have taken away his iron powder from the start, breaking his Dark Current Binding, and proved he could defeat him in another way by continuously outputting and depleting his Extraordinary Energy?
"If I'm not mistaken, you don't have the ability to attack, do you?" Ji Huai turned his head, looking toward Liu Xinran.
"I..." Liu Xinran stood there sowhat dejected, with all four teammates eliminated, she had no power to turn the tide, "I didn't know we were going to spar today, and only brought healing skills, which were of no use."
"They are of use now." Ji Huai pointed at Zhang Yangwang and Dong Cun, who were still unconscious, "Go."
Liu Xinran: "..."
Thank you, but I'm not feeling comforted!
Zhu Yuwei, who was uninjured, quickly walked over to Liu Xinran, comforting the girl in a soft voice while helping her heal their teammates, and soon a smile returned to Liu Xinran's face.
The two who were unconscious gradually ca to their senses. Ji Huai also disassembled the long gun, transforming it back into a series of tallic rings on his arms, hiding them within the large training clothes, and turned to walk towards the students of the four squads.
"If possible, go buy so diamond dust."
"Ah? Okay." Qin Chuan was startled for a mont before realizing Ji Huai was speaking to him, quickly responding in agreent.
tal powder like iron powder certainly could enhance Water Attribute abilities, but it was easily countered by Gold Attribute.
He had chosen iron powder previously because in a re two minutes, he couldn't find anything else that could form a suspension liquid, and he didn't know that Ji Huai was Gold Attribute.
Given the opportunity, naturally, he would choose a finer dust.
This choice was based on two simple criteria: first was hardness, the harder the powder itself, the better the Water enhancent effect.
On the other hand, the material needed to be neither tal nor stone so it wouldn't be countered by the Gold Attribute and Earth Attribute.
Having listened seriously to Zhou Zixiu's lectures, Qin Chuan now had a deeper understanding of the Gold and Earth Attributes.
The Gold Attribute could control and affect various tals and alloys, allowing a certain proportion of impurities to be mixed in, possessing absolute control power when the tal composition was above 90%.
Earth Attribute could control and impact a much broader range of substances, including mineral ores and rocks ford by inorganic non-tal compounds, as well as soils ford from mineral and organic substances.
For this reason, diamond dust was an excellent choice.
First, diamond dust possessed extrely high hardness, with diamonds touted as the hardest substance in nature, and few synthetically created materials in the lab could exceed its hardness.
Secondly, from a chemical standpoint, diamond is an allotrope of carbon, which fortunately lies outside the sphere of influence of both the Gold and Earth Attributes.
The only issue would be facing the Fire Attribute, as under high temperatures, diamond dust might ignite.
But he was Water Attribute, and it seed that he didn't need to worry about this.
Thinking of this, Qin Chuan's eyes sparkled with excitent, quite intrigued.
"Return to formation."
Ji Huai's stern voice rang out, snapping Qin Chuan back from his reverie, and he quickly ran back to his own place in the team.
"Impressive, Qin Chuan!" The plump boy standing beside him was animated as if he had been the one showcasing himself in front of everyone.
Nearby students couldn't help but turn their eyes towards Qin Chuan, as if they were seeing him for the first ti.
However, when Ji Huai's voice rose once more, everyone's attention quickly shifted away from Qin Chuan.
"You all saw the battle just now," Ji Huai began calmly, "Now, I have a question."
"Why do you think I won?"
