From the names alone, it’s clear that one is a bird and the other is an eagle, so there’s not much comparison to be made.
“Coo coo!!”
The Storm Hawk opened its sharp, hooked beak and let out a low cry.
With the flapping of its massive wings, gusts of wind occasionally swept across the sky.
If the Blue Bird had faced the Storm Hawk earlier, there would be no doubt—it would have been utterly crushed.
To deal with Zhang Shengnan’s Storm Hawk, Ye Ling had specifically upgraded his Spiritual Power Shield to the Second Level while resting in the break area.
In this battle, Zhang Shengnan would undoubtedly stay airborne. To defeat Ye Ling, she only needed to launch a fierce attack on him directly.
As for Blood Phantom, Zhang Shengnan would certainly avoid a direct confrontation. She just needed to defeat the Spirit Tamer.
To withstand the attacks from above, Ye Ling felt it was necessary to upgrade his Spiritual Power Shield to the Second Level.
As long as the opponent couldn’t break through his defense, he would have a chance to exploit her weaknesses and achieve a decisive victory.
“The final match of the second phase assessment begins now!”
The referee announced loudly before quickly exiting the arena, leaving it to Ye Ling and Zhang Shengnan.
As soon as the referee left, Zhang Shengnan issued her first command.
“Storm Hawk, Wind Wing Slash!”
The Storm Hawk’s sharp eyes locked onto Ye Ling, cold and unyielding.
Its massive wings flapped rapidly, diving towards Ye Ling on the ground at incredible speed.
As it descended, a large amount of azure wind elements quickly gathered around the Storm Hawk.
Wrapped in these azure wind elements, it looked like a streak of blue light cutting through the air.
When it was less than five meters from the ground, the Storm Hawk swiftly pulled up.
The wind elements it had gathered detached from its body, transforming into blades made purely of wind elements.
Swish, swish, swish!
The wind elements, inherently possessing strong cutting power, sliced through the air with a series of sharp sounds.
As the Wind Wing Slash neared the ground, Blood Phantom immediately stepped in front of Ye Ling.
Instinctively wanting to protect Ye Ling, she felt that with her excellent defense and intermediate-level Magic Damage Reduction, she could take the hit with only minor injuries.
Moreover, she had Super Regeneration, allowing her to quickly recover from any injuries.
At this moment, Ye Ling suddenly pressed a hand on her shoulder and extended his other hand.
“Spiritual Power Shield!”
A surge of spiritual power quickly gathered, forming a shield in front of Ye Ling at an astonishing speed.
The blue spiritual power coalesced into a shield larger than the one he had used before, appearing in front of Blood Phantom.
Clang!!!
The Wind Wing Slash, with its formidable cutting power, struck the Spiritual Power Shield with a dull thud.
Back in the sky, Zhang Shengnan, riding on the Storm Hawk’s back, looked at this scene in disbelief.
She knew very well that even a First Level Spiritual Power Shield couldn’t withstand an attack from the Storm Hawk.
But this attack, which she had been so confident in, was blocked by Ye Ling.
“No way! What’s going on? In previous battles, Zhang Shengnan’s move could break a First Level Spiritual Power Shield.”
“Isn’t that obvious? You’re talking about a First Level Spiritual Power Shield. Look at what level Ye Ling is using now.”
“Holy crap! A Second Level Spiritual Power Shield, with two stars in the middle of the shield!”
“This… not only can he use Second Level Spiritual Power Chains, but also a Second Level Spiritual Power Shield. That’s overpowered!”
“Is he cheating or something?!”
…
In the Academy representatives’ area, Hong Xiu suddenly stood up, her eyes fixed on the Second Level Spiritual Power Shield in Ye Ling’s hand.
“Unbelievable, he can actually use a Second Level Spiritual Power Shield. How did he manage that?!”
She was extremely curious about how Ye Ling had gone from using a First Level Spiritual Power Shield to a Second Level one.
If it was a sudden breakthrough, it seemed unrealistic to her.
If people could break through just by using a technique a few times, then those who could use higher-level spiritual techniques would be everywhere.
Huo Ling also watched Ye Ling with great interest, her eyes filled with curiosity.
“This Ye Ling, he has a few secrets up his sleeve.”
All the Academy representatives present were now filled with curiosity about Ye Ling.
Riding on the Storm Hawk’s back, Zhang Shengnan frowned slightly.
“A Second Level Spiritual Power Shield, this guy…”
She had thought that this attack would at least throw Ye Ling off balance.
But the result left her feeling very dissatisfied.
However, she had to admit that Ye Ling was indeed formidable, being able to use two types of Second Level spiritual techniques.
Moreover, the spiritual power consumption alone far exceeded hers.
The Storm Hawk’s attacks were indeed powerful. Ye Ling glanced at his Second Level Spiritual Power Shield, noticing a small notch on it.
To be able to damage a Second Level Spiritual Power Shield, even just a little, was impressive.
This was mainly due to the wind elements’ strong cutting power.
Other elements might not have achieved the same effect.
