Chapter 10: The Fight to the Death
Lin Song put away the boomerang, and his divine thoughts urged again, and a piece of armor on the shield suddenly separated, turning in a circle in the air, and when he swept over the table, the corner of the table fell to the ground silently, very sharp.
Lin Song urged all his soul power, and another piece of armor was separated from the tortoise shell, and two pieces of armor and shield flew in the air together. Lin Song nodded secretly, although he was only an intermediate control apprentice, his soul power could already urge three Horcruxes, which should have been something that only a high-level control disciple could do.
In the following ten days, Lin Song no longer cultivated, nor did he hunt soul beasts. He devoted all his mind to practicing the use of Horcruxes, and the results of Lin Song's serious study in the past few years were reflected little by little. The various subtle ways of using the Horcrux were quickly mastered by Lin Song.
One day half a month later, Xibe City was particularly lively. Almost all the monks in the city gathered in the competition venue of the city lord's mansion, and today was the day of the extraterritorial picking and selection.
The selection rules require that the monk must be under the age of eighteen, in order to give the young monk more opportunities and room for development. If a monk who has been cultivating at the level of a disciple for many years participates in the competition, he will definitely be better than Lin Song and Tucker, but they have little potential and are not worthy of the high-level cultivation of the soul star.
There are more than fifty juvenile disciples of the same age in Xibo City, but some of the juveniles themselves are too weak in cultivation and simply give up.
The first elimination match was held in the morning, and the venue for the Horcrux simulation was chosen. Because some monks can't even afford real tangible Horcruxes. In order to give monks like them a chance, this field was chosen, and although the Iron Ball Wood Block was far inferior to a real Horcrux, it was still a chance.
The competition was a knockout round, and more than 30 teenagers caught and competed. Lin Song's opponent was a teenager who didn't even have a real Horcrux. Lin Song simply didn't use a Horcrux, and only relied on a simulated Horcrux to compete with this young man. Lin Song's level of control of simulated Horcruxes was also very good, and soon the boy was defeated.
Suddenly, there was a scream in the field, followed by the sound of crying. A teenager fell to the ground, his shoulder pierced, and a blood hole gushed with blood, staining his shirt red.
It was Tucker who wounded the teenager, and Tucker used a real Horcrux to pierce the teenager's shoulder with a single move.
"What kind of competition does such a person participate in!" Tucker didn't feel the slightest guilt after hurting someone, but instead sneered.
The friends and family members of the injured teenager all dared to be angry but did not dare to speak out and helped the teenager off the field.
Tucker suddenly saw Lin Song, and his eyes flashed with joy. He walked slowly in front of Lin Song, and the moment he passed by Lin Song, he said softly: "I'm so happy to see you here!"
Lin Song smiled coldly, of course he knew Tucker's intentions, he wanted revenge, and he wanted to get back to the field where he had failed before.
Because Tucker injured someone in the morning, the rules of the afternoon competition changed. Sixteen teenagers go on the field together and engage in a scuffle. Each person is given a wooden plaque. The rule is to grab wooden tiles, and two people with more than six wooden tiles will directly advance to the finals.
The advantage of this is that if you are not an opponent, you can simply hand over the wooden cards obediently, and you will not have to compete.
Tucker's power to hurt people in the morning is still there, how can any teenager dare to put it right with him, Tucker walked in front of whom, everyone obediently handed over the wooden card, there were two teenagers with real Horcruxes who resisted a few times, not the opponent, or handed over the wooden card.
Moments later, there were only three people left in the field, and Tucker had nine wooden cards to qualify for the finals. The other two, Lin Song, three wooden cards. There was also a teenager named Barnes, the son of the city's current sheriff, who had four wooden plaques.
Barnes naturally didn't take the initiative to provoke Tucker, he stared at Lin Song viciously, and a red knife slowly rotated around his body. It is an offensive Horcrux in the shape of a knife.
Lin Song hadn't used the Horcrux yet, but he had defeated several people by simulating the Horcrux, which proved that Lin Song's level of control of the Horcrux was very high, and it would be even more powerful if he had a real Horcrux in his hand. Barnes decided to strike first.
"Attack!" Barnes shouted, and the red knife slashed through the air with a red blade, stabbing straight at Lin Song.
Lin Song retreated in a serpentine form, and the simulated Horcruxes on the ground flew up one after another. However, these simulated Horcruxes were vulnerable in front of real Horcruxes, and even the fist-sized iron ball was split in two in an instant.
Lin Song thought to himself, it seemed that he could only use a real Horcrux, and just as Lin Song was about to urge the boomerang, suddenly, a white light inserted in front of Lin Song, and with a "ding!" sound, Barnes's flying knife flew away.
An awl-shaped Horcrux floated between the two, and it was Tucker's Horcrux.
"What are you doing?" Barnes was shocked and angry, he thought he and Tucker had a good relationship, but he didn't expect Tucker to take the initiative to attack him.
Tucker sneered, pointed at Lin Song and said, "This kid must meet me in the finals, and I want to fight him to the death!"
Barnes knew that he was no match for Tucker, so he smiled bitterly, threw several wooden cards on the ground, and said to Lin Song, "Good luck!
"It's Tucker and Linson who have advanced to the finals!" the city lord's subordinate Neeson announced loudly.
The final was chosen at night, and the darkness had no effect on the competition, and for soul cultivators who could use soul scanning at any time, there was no difference between night and day. However, for the convenience of the audience, a lot of spell light balls were lit up around the venue, illuminating the field in a bright light.
The venue was still a Horcrux simulator, and Lin Song and Tucker walked in slowly. Thousands of people gathered around the venue, and even many ordinary people who were not cultivators managed to come in and have a look. Before the game, the grievances between Lin Song and Tucker in the past were passed on by everyone, and this was a fierce and bloody game, which was certain.
City Lord Terry and his two important retinues, Neeson and Rock, all came to watch the battle, and the butler Old Tucker stood behind Neeson, but his expression didn't seem nervous. Lin Song's relatives and friends, in addition to Helen and some neighbors, even Lin Bo, who had been bedridden, struggled to come over, hoping to cheer for his grandson.
Neeson was about to announce the start of the game, when suddenly, Tucker saluted the city lord and said loudly: "Lord of the city, according to the rules of the game, I can ask my opponent for a life-and-death battle, and if the opponent does not dare to agree, it will be regarded as an automatic failure!"
"Life and death battle!" The audience outside the stadium was in an uproar, but they didn't expect the game to be so bloody and energetic before it started.
Normal Horcrux competitions are not allowed to kill or injure human lives, and accidental injuries to human lives will also be judged to be failures. However, if both sides agree to fight to the death, then even the dead will not be held accountable, just like the life and death of the earth in ancient times.
"Boy, if you don't dare, get out of here quickly, don't be embarrassed here!" Tucker was provoking Lin Song, but he was also a little worried in his heart, afraid that Lin Song would really retreat.
"I promise, life and death battle!" Lin Song said loudly.
In an instant, Lin Song's relatives and friends showed a worried look on their faces, little Tucker has his father's support, his cultivation is definitely not low, and now he has a real Horcrux, can Lin Song be an opponent?
Lin Bo said tremblingly: "Song'er, don't be reckless, they are rich and powerful, we can't fight!"
"Grandpa, don't worry, I just want these rich and powerful people to see, we poor children can do the same!" Lin Song spoke in a loud voice, almost everyone outside the venue heard it, and many teenagers showed admiration for Lin Song, but there were also some rich people who couldn't stop sneering, obviously not optimistic about Lin Song.
City Lord Terry stood up and said slowly, "Since you all agree to a life-and-death battle, then so be it!" After speaking, he stretched out his hand and waved, only to see a translucent light shield appear around Lin Song and Tucker's field.
This was the first time Lin Song had seen Terry cast a spell, and this spell shield was so strong that ordinary Horcruxes couldn't break it. It not only has the effect of preventing the horcruxes of the two from flying out of the field and hurting people, but also has the effect of isolating the two of them and not dying.
"Let's go!" Neeson announced loudly, and the competition began.
Tucker and Lin Song glanced at each other, and suddenly moved at the same time, Lin Song was still using the simulated Horcruxes in the field, and dozens of wooden iron balls flew into the air and shot towards Tucker.
Tucker's cone-shaped Horcruxes flickered continuously in the air, and all of the simulated Horcruxes were instantly cut in half and fell to the ground. Tucker's level of manipulating Horcruxes is also much stronger than it was a year ago.
"Don't use these useless things!" Tucker yelled, sim Horcruxes useless to him.
With a "ding" sound, two white lights collided in the air, and then separated, which were none other than Lin Song's boomerang and Tucker's cone horcrux.
"Haha!" Tucker laughed, "you do have a Horcrux, and you won't disappoint me too much." ”
The Horcruxes of the two swirled and collided in the air, emitting a series of clanging sounds.
Suddenly, the Horcruxes of the two staggered, and both struck each other's bodies.
The boomerang flew in front of Tucker with a screeching sound, and a spark was very noticeable in the darkness. It turned out that there was a black shield floating in front of Tucker. Because the color blends with the darkness, it is not noticed by everyone.
Now that everyone saw Tucker using two Horcruxes at the same time, there were a lot of exclamations, "Intermediate Controller!" You must know that Tucker had just entered the junior Disciple a year ago. In one year, he entered the intermediate control apprentice again, and this cultivation speed is also very amazing.
Tucker's flying cone, which kept stabbing in front of Lin Song, was skillfully dodged by Lin Song.
"Let's see how many times you can dodge!" Tucker urged his soul power, and the speed of the flying cone hit instantly increased, such a speed could no longer be dodged by manpower.
"Ding ding!" A few crisp sounds, Lin Song retreated unharmed. Tucker's flying cone also flew backwards, and a small silver shield appeared in front of Lin Song.
"He's also a mid-level controller!" There was another exclamation from the sidelines.
