Lu Ran was well-prepared and immediately shut his eyes, refusing to look at the fierce mask.

The teachers and students present at the scene also had flickering eyes and quickly averted their gaze.

Some of the students, who were already faint-hearted, turned pale and cried out in alarm:

"Ah!"

"Don't, don't come here..."

There was a disturbance from below, all because of the mask on Ma Tianchuan's face.

Nuosha Divine Technique·Nuo Mask Fear!

This mask was extremely fierce, with a black and red color scheme, and its style was quite rough, resembling a fierce ghost.

This technique was from God Nuosha, not from an evil spirit.

Many students also realized that Ma Tianchuan was more than just a notch stronger than the Greedy Wolf believer, Gao Zhonglin!

After all, when Ma Tianchuan fought Gao Zhonglin, he had not revealed this terrifying mask.

A crisp "ding" sound!

The Silent Night Blade and the long dagger collided fiercely, emitting a piercing noise.

Figures crisscrossed past each other, and Ma Tianchuan only felt a huge force coming at him, almost causing him to drop the dagger in his hand.

"Brother Lu, with your eyes closed, afraid to look at me, isn't it disadvantageous for battle?"

Ma Tianchuan quickly turned around, looking at the still advancing figure, and shouted loudly.

In the first battle, Lu Ran had once said to Kou Yingquan, "Look at me directly."

Now, it seemed somewhat like the tables had turned?

Ma Tianchuan's remark immediately sparked discussions among the students.

"That's way too scary!"

"Why else would the top student dare to go on stage, he's a Nuoshasha believer! Even fiercer than an evil ghost!"

"No way, how am I supposed to watch the duel?"

"I've been wanting to ask, Lu Ran doesn't have any Purification Techniques or sensory techniques; how is he fighting Ma Tianchuan?"

"Exactly! Wu Shanshan has everything she needs to absolutely demolish Ma Tianchuan! But Lu Ran... seems to be at a disadvantage!"

"It's over! Closing his eyes isn't a solution, he's blind now."

"Eh? Over here there's a Sword Lotus believer summoning the treasure lotus, come quickly, let's watch it from here!"

"Blind?" Chang Ying couldn't help but mutter quietly, "Who said my Ranbao needs to open his eyes."

Beside her, Deng Yutang's expression was quite amused, nodding subtly.

A good show to watch?

In a moment, when the classmates discovered that Lu Ran was fighting with his eyes closed, what would their reaction be?

"Brother Lu!" Ma Tianchuan's voice came from the stage again, "I won't show any mercy now!"

As he spoke, Ma Tianchuan, holding double daggers, swiftly pounced towards Lu Ran.

The gleaming daggers now showed a faint silhouette of another set of blades.

Nuosha Divine Technique·Sha Blade!

Similar to many summoned weapon Divine Techniques, Divine Technique·Sha Blade could be directly held by the caster.

It could also rely on an existing weapon to enhance output.

But this wasn't the main effect of the "Sha Blade."

The most terrifying enhancement of this technique was — soul damage!

Da Xia had many gods, nearly a hundred, with a wide variety of Divine Techniques.

However, among the many Divine Techniques, there were few that involved the "soul."

Nuosha Divine Technique·Sha Blade was one of the rare few!

That seemingly illusionary blade edge could tear apart the target's soul!

It's not to say that the gods were inept, incapable of touching the domain of the soul.

On the contrary, the gods probably all explored this aspect, and some might have made significant achievements.

However, almost none of the gods incorporated soul-related abilities into their list of Divine Techniques.

In other words: The gods did not want the Human Clan to grasp this aspect of power.

God Nuosha was an exception, of course.

As for the River Grade·Slaughter Blade, the soul damage was not so severe.

Otherwise, this technique would undoubtedly be classified within the dueling category as a "Forbidden Technique!"

The reality was:

Even if Ma Tianchuan cut Lu Ran into a thousand pieces, at most, Lu Ran would face physical death, but his soul would not be torn apart.

River Grade·Slaughter Blade would only cause minor injury and soul tremor to the opponent.

In some respects, this technique was more like a control technique.

Once the target blade struck, it could likely cause mental distraction and a state of soul unsteadiness.

On the battlefield, being distracted for even a second could spell doom!

"Ding!!"

Ma Tianchuan hurried towards Lu Ran, his daggers aiming for Lu Ran's neck, but they were fiercely parried by the Silent Night Blade.

"Hiss..." Ma Tianchuan took a sharp intake of breath, feeling his palms go numb.

The tremendous force transmitted from the Silent Night Blade almost made the daggers slip from his hand!

Was that much force possible?

Ma Tianchuan, hidden behind the mask, was filled with astonishment.

After all, Lu Ran was not the burly type, but rather slender...

"Huh~"

As Ma Tianchuan's right hand holding the dagger was swung away, he slanted his left hand in a strike.

Lu Ran leaned back, and the illusionary blade passed just in front of his throat.

That was a close call!

Ma Tianchuan: ???

Since Lu Ran's previous move was a turn and block, Ma Tianchuan hadn't realized the gravity of the situation.

But now, as they faced each other, Ma Tianchuan suddenly noticed that Lu Ran was fighting with his eyes closed?

Eyes! Closed?!

How did Lu Ran... how did he dodge that horizontal swipe?

And his control over the distance was so precise!

"Wow! Sound Positioning?"

"I told you something was off about Lu Ran, he must have secretly worshipped Lord Beifeng! Definitely!"

"He's really fighting with his eyes closed? Guessing?"

"Not sure, let's keep watching..."

The students below huddled in groups, under the protection of various auxiliary Divine Techniques, watching the duel.

Of course, they expected the battle to be exciting, but they didn't anticipate it being this bizarre!

"Zi!"

Lu Ran twisted his wrist, and the Silent Night Blade swung from top to bottom, a slanted chop!

The blade edge shallowly embedded into the water flow armor, slicing out a scar.
