Chapter 128: Chapter 129: Shocked! He's Actually a Support-Type Spirit Master!
On the arena, facing Lin Ye's counterattack, which came like a torrential storm, Yan was completely unable to cope. He could only rely on the defensive power granted by his martial soul possession, retreating awkwardly while using his arms, covered in thick molten lava armor, to protect the vulnerable parts of his body. Inside, he was consumed by powerless rage.
"Dammit!!"
Although earlier, after using his first and second spirit skills, Yan had launched a fierce offensive and maintained the upper hand for quite a long time,
after more than half an hour of full-force bursts, Yan was now somewhat fatigued.
When Lin Ye began his counterattack, Yan immediately fell into a disadvantage, completely suppressed in the fight.
This was truly being suppressed, unlike Lin Ye's earlier steady and defensive stance, conserving his strength!
All around, as the situation on the arena suddenly shifted, every student in the stands was stunned.
"How is this possible? Senior Yan is actually at a disadvantage!"
"But Senior Yan already used two spirit skills, and Lin Ye hasn't even summoned his martial soul yet!"
"As expected, His Holiness the Pope was absolutely right. Our Holy Son is definitely not some nepotistic fraud but an unparalleled genius!"
...
Watching the battle on the arena, after their initial shock, the surrounding spectators couldn't help but start discussing fervently. Many people's impressions of Lin Ye completely changed.
Previously, because Lin Ye's appointment as the Holy Son was too abrupt, offending many people's interests,
someone had spread rumors that Lin Ye was a nepotistic appointment, relying on connections to become the Holy Son.
Moreover, in the Spirit Hall, many young spirit masters, out of jealousy that Lin Ye would steal their goddess Hu Liena after becoming the Holy Son, had also belittled Lin Ye in various ways.
Thus, most of the young spirit masters who didn't know the truth believed these rumors, thinking Lin Ye was just a product of favoritism.
But now, the strength Lin Ye displayed shattered these rumors entirely, leaving them without a leg to stand on!
Someone who could defeat the Spirit Hall's top young spirit master without even using a martial soul, relying purely on physical strength and spirit power—if such a person couldn't become the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, who else could?
"Sigh! As expected, His Holiness the Pope made no mistake. Such incredible physical strength and reaction speed, suppressing Yan in a normal state without even using his martial soul—this kind of genius is simply unheard of. I, Xie Yue, feel utterly inferior!"
Outside the arena, watching the battle between Lin Ye and Yan, Xie Yue's eyes were filled with complexity, and he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
"This guy is so strong. Even though Yan hasn't used his third and fourth spirit skills, the physical qualities of a Spirit Ancestor with martial soul possession are far beyond what a Spirit Grandmaster can compare to."
"Yet you can suppress Yan in a normal state. Such immense power—was it granted by your third martial soul, the Devouring Ancestral Dragon? The Devouring Ancestral Dragon should be a top-tier true dragon martial soul, right? To possess such a powerful martial soul, it's truly enviable!"
Watching the battle on the arena, Hu Liena, holding a tangyuan in her arms, couldn't hide the shock on her charming face, her heart filled with emotion.
Since she knew Lin Ye had a powerful third martial soul, Hu Liena naturally attributed Lin Ye's incredible strength to the Devouring Ancestral Dragon martial soul.
But in reality, since the Devouring Ancestral Dragon hadn't fully awakened, the strength it granted Lin Ye wasn't as immense as she thought.
Most of this was due to the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique, though Hu Liena had no idea about this.
On the other side, on the arena.
After Lin Ye launched his counterattack, due to his continuous bursts of energy, Yan was now completely no match for him.
And as the effects of his first and second spirit skills wore off, Yan's defense became even more difficult.
Listening to the surrounding spectators marveling at Lin Ye's displayed talent and acknowledging that his position as the Holy Son was well-deserved, Yan felt as if a mouthful of old blood was stuck in his throat.
"Damn it! Am I really just going to stand by and watch this guy become the admired Holy Son in everyone's eyes, then walk into the hall of marriage with Nana?"
While struggling to defend, Yan thought bitterly.
Every time he imagined his goddess, Hu Liena, walking into the hall of marriage with someone other than himself, Yan felt a deep pain in his heart, as if a dense forest had grown atop his head.
"No! No way! I can't let this happen!"
Finally, as images of his goddess Hu Liena replayed in his mind like a carousel, Yan exploded in fury.
He had made up his mind to unleash his full power. Even if it meant being scorned by his goddess afterward, if he couldn't even muster the courage to beat up his rival, it would be too pathetic!
"Lin Ye, I've lost! But don't think you've won either. Summon your martial soul, and let's have a real fight!"
With that, Yan let out a loud roar.
"Third Spirit Skill: Blazing Flame Possession!"
With Yan's shout,
the thin black lava armor on his body, which previously only had faint cracks, began to rapidly expand and spread.
At the same time, the black lava armor covering Yan's body began to grow thicker, eventually forming a layer nearly an inch thick. The crisscrossing lava cracks revealed a magma-like liquid within, emitting a fiery red glow and intense heat.
This was Yan's third spirit skill, Blazing Flame Possession!
In this state, Yan's strength and defense would increase by 100%, and the burning damage of his lava armor would also double.
Having resolved to use his third and fourth spirit skills, Yan no longer held back his spirit power.
In this state, Yan's strength was now almost on par with Lin Ye's.
If he added the defense and weight of his lava armor, along with its burning damage, Yan's combat power surpassed Lin Ye's in direct confrontation!

Feeling the aura emanating from Yan after using his third spirit skill, Lin Ye grew serious and quickly retreated.
"So, you're finally going to use your third and fourth spirit skills? Then I'll have to use my martial soul and spirit skills too."
Watching Yan, whose eyes burned with flames, Lin Ye's gaze turned slightly solemn as he retreated.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Lin Ye slowly extended his right hand.
"Lin Ye is finally going to summon his martial soul!"
"What kind of martial soul does he have? Could he really just be a Spirit Grandmaster?"
"If he's truly a Spirit Grandmaster, being able to push Senior Yan to this extent would be incredible!"
...
Around the arena, seeing Lin Ye's movements, the students began discussing fervently.
Under their tense gazes, Lin Ye's mind stirred, and he summoned the Nine-Spirit Celestial Camellia.
With a flash of white light in his right hand, a pure white camellia flower appeared, floating in Lin Ye's palm.
As the Nine-Spirit Celestial Camellia emerged, two spirit rings—one yellow and one purple—rose from beneath Lin Ye's feet.
Around him, seeing that Lin Ye had summoned a pure white camellia flower, everyone was stunned.
"What kind of martial soul is this? A flower martial soul? It's not a beast martial soul!"
"If it's not a beast martial soul, then how does the Holy Son possess such incredible strength?!"
"Martial soul or not, haven't you noticed? The Holy Son's second spirit ring is actually a thousand-year spirit ring!"
...
Seeing Lin Ye's martial soul and spirit rings, even the teachers among the spectators were astonished.
In front of everyone, Lin Ye suddenly activated his second spirit skill, Crown of Blood Spirit!
With a burst of crimson light from the Nine-Spirit Celestial Camellia, which then enveloped Lin Ye, his aura surged dramatically.
Seeing the crimson light from Lin Ye's martial soul and his skyrocketing aura, the crowd erupted once again.
What did they just witness? Judging by the way this spirit skill worked, could this flower martial soul actually belong to the support type?!
Oh my god! Our Holy Son is actually a support-type spirit master!
