Just as the Fire Dragon Knight moved, passing through the acid mist, Xin Yun quickly sensed his movent. With a laugh, he steered Yinglong diagonally to pursue. At the sa ti, the Silver Dragon Instructor inwardly cursed his luck. The acid mist was virtually a part of Xin Yun; everything within it was under his control. However, for the Silver Dragon Instructor, the mist obscured most of his perceptive abilities—sight, hearing, Divine Perception, Spiritual Perception—all were diminished. Although he could sense that the Fire Dragon Knight had moved, he had no idea how exactly he had moved.
If the Fire Dragon Knight had remained motionless, the Silver Dragon Instructor would have been completely confident in saving him. But once the opponent moved, the task beca much more difficult, and his confidence dropped by twenty percent!
As the Silver Dragon Instructor frowned, he did not notice the mist subtly swirling around him, forming a dragon-shaped current. After all… His sole purpose in being there was to save soone. He had never considered that Xin Yun would launch an attack on him!
The Silver Dragon, in fact, was a Wind Attribute dragon, known for its incredible speed. Although its defense was average, its attack was sharp. It was a dragon with exceptionally high potential. Moreover… the Silver Dragon Instructor himself possessed the strength of a Purple Crystal Five Stars, sothing that students in the Third-year Phase could not hope to counter, not even Po Kong.
The reason Xin Yun provoked the situation was purposeful; he didn't genuinely intend to kill the Fire Dragon Knight. Otherwise, Xin Yun wouldn't have foolishly provoked the Silver Dragon Instructor. Rather, he wanted to gauge his own power.
There were many benefits to this. The Silver Dragon Instructor was strong, acting as a perfect Touchstone to test the power of Xin Yun's combat skills. At the sa ti… this opponent would definitely not harbor any lethal intentions, making the fight absolutely safe. After all… as a Guardian, how could the Silver Dragon Instructor possibly kill soone!
It was with such considerations in mind that Xin Yun set the trap and lured the Silver Dragon Instructor inside. Utilizing the cover of the acid mist, he successfully entered a state of invisibility and silently closed in on the Silver Dragon Instructor.
Taking a deep breath, Xin Yun finally made his move. The formless and invisible Yinglong, with a flick of its talons, launched the Spiral Nine Shadows in an instant. Amidst the surging mist, a whistling current violently slamd into the belly of the Silver Dragon.
Feeling the fluctuations in the mist, the Silver Dragon Instructor's brow furrowed. The Silver Dragon swiftly sidestepped, narrowly avoiding the brunt of the oncoming airstream. At the sa ti, a flash of surprise glead in the Silver Dragon Instructor's eyes. Had that guy gone mad? To dare attack an instructor!
"Hiss... Bang!" Lost in thought, a sudden disturbance erupted from the upper left. The next instant, a heavy attack landed squarely on the back of the Silver Dragon, his body trembling under the trendous force and beginning to rigidly descend through the air.
In the face of this, the Silver Dragon Instructor couldn't help but be greatly alard; the attack was terrifying. Although not overwhelmingly powerful and well within his tolerance, the energy carried three unbreakable Golden Needles that burst into his body and exploded within, causing a wild fluctuation of energy and montarily losing control.
However, as a Purple Crystal Five Stars powerhouse, the Silver Dragon Instructor promptly stabilized his internal energy with a deep breath, regaining control of his body. The Silver Dragon twisted in the air, swiftly regaining balance.
"Bang!" Just as the Silver Dragon regained stability in the blink of an eye, another misty current blasted against the chest of the Silver Dragon. Three Golden Needles entered its body, and the Silver Dragon once again beca immobilized.
"Damn it!" The Silver Dragon Instructor cursed loudly, finally consud by anger. This youngster was so daring. If he didn't give him a lesson, he simply wouldn't be able to calm down.
As he pondered, the Silver Dragon Instructor forcibly suppressed the energy within his body. Just as he was about to act, a third airstream hamred heavily onto the Silver Dragon's hindquarters. Startled, he turned his head to see and in the fog-shrouded surroundings, a huge dragon foot rapidly disappeared back into the mist!
"I! I! I—dammit…" Although no substantial injury had been caused, seeing himself kicked in the rear—and by rely a student, no less—the Silver Dragon Instructor exploded with rage.
All these events that I'm describing took so long seem to have occurred in just a second. Within that sa second, Xin Yun launched three attacks, while the Silver Dragon Instructor managed to stabilize the energy fluctuations in his body three tis in a row. The Extre Yang Golden Needles did have so effect, but it was too negligible, only immobilizing the opponent for about 0.3 seconds.
However, it was exactly thanks to this brief immobilization ti that Xin Yun successfully struck with three consecutive attacks, and the last one was even more humiliating—a kick landed squarely on the Silver Dragon's behind.
After three consecutive attacks, Xin Yun had exhausted all his energy, but once the attacks ended, the Silver Dragon Instructor had suffered no damage at all. Xin Yun's attacks couldn't even tickle the opponent.
With a sigh, Xin Yun knew that he was still far from being a match for a master of the athyst level. Despite a gap of only twenty-three stars between them, the strength represented by each star was as vast as the difference between heaven and earth.
Before reaching the Gold level, increasing one's strength was relatively fast, but once one reached the Gold level, each increase of one star beca incredibly difficult. Being able to advance one star in a year was already a reason for pride. With Xin Yun's current state, reaching the Crystal level by the age of 25 would be considered good.
As for the athyst level, it was no longer a question of ti but of whether it was attainable at all. Everyone's potential is ultimately limited, and the vast majority of people could never dream of reaching the athyst level in their lifetis. No matter how much ti they had or how hard they tried, it would only be in vain.
After three consecutive attacks, Xin Yun now had a clear understanding of his current strength. He stood a chance against masters of the Crystal level, but against the athyst level, failure was only a matter of ti. As such, his current attacks were utterly incapable of harming a master of the athyst level.
Although Xin Yun still had Thunderbolt at his disposal, he knew without trying that before he ran out of energy, his opponent would definitely remain extrely healthy. Even if the power of Xin Yun's Thunderbolt were tenfold greater and he could use it ten tis more, it would be ineffective. The gap in strength between them had already surpassed tenfold, possibly even twentyfold.
Now that the test was completed, of course, Xin Yun wasn't going to continue playing this ga. Provoking the opponent to lose all reason would be decidedly not worth it. Even though he had never experienced it first-hand, an attack from an athyst level master would certainly be too much for him to handle now.
While pondering, Xin Yun spun around, and Yinglong appeared beside the Silver Dragon. A kick aid at the Silver Dragon's behind was on its way when the Silver Dragon suddenly turned its head. A silver Dragon Breath whistled towards Yinglong's thigh...
Seeing this, Xin Yun couldn't help but laugh. He won the bet! That's right... he had no intention of actually landing that kick. It was re temptation.
In fact, from the mont that kick hit the Silver Dragon's behind, Xin Yun had already been setting up his strategy. By using humiliation to anger the Silver Dragon Instructor, and then striking again at the sa spot, even a saint would not be able to endure such humiliation.
Xin Yun's bet was on the target of his opponent's attack. If the Silver Dragon Instructor had aid for Yinglong's torso, then Xin Yun would have lost. Aiming for the head could have been fatal for him. But as a Guardian Instructor, Xin Yun judged that he wouldn't do so, instead attacking the right leg that attempted to kick his behind!
The analysis wasn't difficult, but it also wasn't sothing just anyone could surmise. In any case... Xin Yun was right. The Silver Dragon Instructor did indeed release a silver Dragon Breath, shooting it instantaneously at Xin Yun's thigh.
"Li!" Just as the silver Dragon Breath was expelled, Xin Yun shouted lowly. In an instant... the leg that tried to kick the Silver Dragon's behind detached from Yinglong's body. The next mont... a flash of silver light shot out but failed to touch even the edge of Xin Yun. Hopelessly, it continued its path into the thick fog.
"Sss... Boom!" The silver light vanished in a flash, and the next mont... a sound of utter despair echoed, followed simultaneously by a loud explosion. At the sa ti, Xin Yun's voice erged from the fog, "Mr. Instructor, I've never killed anyone; this was your doing, so don't pin it on !"
