Ye Ling’s plan, already risky, seemed completely unfeasible due to his habitual thinking.
“Spiritual Power Chains!”
At the same time, Ye Ling unleashed his spiritual technique.
“How is this possible?!”
Seeing Ye Ling use the Spiritual Power Chains again, Meng Yue’s face changed instantly.
The moment Ye Ling used the Spiritual Power Chains, Meng Yue knew his plan had failed.
He had intended to attack when Ye Ling’s spiritual power was insufficient.
But now, things were entirely different from his plan, the discrepancy was too great.
Compared to Meng Yue’s First Level Spiritual Power Chains, Ye Ling’s Second Level Chains were more numerous and stronger.
The Undead Warrior, already massive, had its limbs and body tightly bound by the chains.
“Roar!!”
The Undead Warrior let out an angry roar, its grayish-white muscles bulging as it tried to break free from the chains.
If it were only First Level Spiritual Power Chains, they might not have lasted long against the Undead Warrior.
But unfortunately, Ye Ling used Second Level Spiritual Power Chains.
Even without Ye Ling’s control, the Undead Warrior couldn’t break free.
Unless the spiritual power dissipated and the chains weakened, the Undead Warrior had no chance of escape.
“It’s over.”
Seeing his Undead Warrior completely bound and unable to break free, Meng Yue knew he had lost.
Unlike the bound Undead Warrior, Blood Phantom turned into a blood mist the moment Meng Yue’s chains approached.
It slipped through the gaps between the chains, evading the encirclement.
In an instant, the blood mist reformed in front of Meng Yue.
With razor-sharp nails like swords, Blood Phantom’s hand hovered before Meng Yue.
Even with a Spiritual Power Shield, Meng Yue had no doubt Blood Phantom could kill him.
Though unwilling, Meng Yue had no choice but to admit defeat.
Trembling, he raised his right hand and spoke with a quivering voice.
“I… I… concede!”
After saying this, Meng Yue collapsed to the ground, as if he had lost all his strength.
He had relied mostly on his willpower to persist until now.
But now that he had lost, his willpower finally dissipated.
With his concession, it was time for the referee to step in.
“The winner is Ye Ling, who advances to the semifinals. Meng Yue retains his current ranking.”
Upon hearing the referee announce his victory, Ye Ling released his control over the Undead Warrior.
Blood Phantom naturally returned to Ye Ling’s side.
“Roar!!”
The massive Undead Warrior could feel Meng Yue’s inner frustration and let out an angry roar.
Spirit Tamers and their Spiritual Pets could sense each other’s emotions.
Hence, the Undead Warrior was so enraged.
Similarly, Ye Ling and Blood Phantom could also sense each other’s feelings.
However, Blood Phantom wasn’t thinking about anything at the moment, so Ye Ling could hardly feel any emotions from it.
Perhaps it was because Blood Phantom, being of the Genus Undead, had no emotions to begin with.
Of course, Ye Ling believed that as Blood Phantom’s level increased and it evolved, it would become more human-like.
During this period, Ye Ling had been in a good mood, and Blood Phantom had shown no signs of anything unusual.
From the stands, Huo Ling watched Ye Ling intently and murmured softly.
“Even using Second Level Spiritual Power Chains multiple times, this Ye Ling is becoming more and more intriguing.”
It’s known that Second Level Spiritual Power Chains consume several times more spiritual power than First Level ones.
Even if a First Rank Spirit Tamer could cultivate Second Level Chains, they could only use them once or twice at most.
Moreover, Ye Ling had used other spiritual techniques during the battle, not just the chains.
This made people curious about the reserves of spiritual power in Ye Ling’s body, which seemed to exceed that of a First Rank Spirit Tamer.
“Perhaps… he had some extraordinary encounter.”
Hong Xiu voiced her opinion.
Indeed, in this magical world, various rare and precious treasures exist.
It wasn’t hard to believe Ye Ling could obtain one.
Bai Tong, though believing Ye Ling might have acquired some rare treasure, still had doubts.
Curiously observing Ye Ling, Bai Tong finally spoke.
“Teacher Hong, while you may be right, don’t forget, Ye Ling has no background.
Even if there are rare treasures in the outside world, do you think they wouldn’t be guarded by demons?
With Ye Ling’s current strength, could he break through the demons’ defenses?”
This was a very realistic question. Rare treasures were never without demon guardians.
Lastly, Lu Feng, though agreeing with Bai Tong, didn’t completely concur.
“Teacher Bai makes a valid point, but perhaps Ye Ling did have some extraordinary encounter.
Everyone’s experiences differ, and it’s not impossible to have such an encounter.”
In this vast world, anything is possible. Some people do have extraordinary encounters.
Lu Feng had seen students with such encounters before. Ye Ling was just more exceptional, but not to the point of shocking Lu Feng.
