Chapter 627: Chapter 255: King Bomb Collision! Lin Ye VS Xia Lianxue

Lin Ye’s heart tightened. He was about to retreat when his legs suddenly felt heavy, as if he had sunk into a mire. His movements became incredibly sluggish.

He glanced down and was horrified to find that at some point, his legs had been tightly bound by countless dark green vines.

Even stranger, strands of a dark, living substance coiled around the vines, continuously eroding his Protective Gang Sha!

’Wood Element... and Dark Element too!’

Lin Ye’s resolve hardened, and he no longer hesitated.

Phase Shift!

HUM!

His figure instantly became illusory, entering a one-second incorporeal and untargetable state.

However, Lin Ye didn’t use this precious second of invincibility to retreat and evade.

Instead, his eyes sharpened. With a backhand motion, his Dark Night Long Spear carved an uncanny arc, slashing horizontally toward Xia Lianxue’s pale neck!

For the first time, a flicker of change appeared on Xia Lianxue’s cold, aloof face.

Lin Ye’s sudden display of an untargetable state had taken her by surprise as well.

But her reaction was lightning-fast. The instant the spear’s blade was about to slice her throat, her body snapped back at an impossible angle, dodging the fatal blow.

His strike having missed, Lin Ye didn’t press the attack and immediately withdrew.

But when he looked up again, he found that the Xia Lianxue before him had silently dissipated like a reflection in water.

Her form reappeared several dozen meters away.

Lin Ye halted, his eyes narrowing. Shockwaves crashed through his mind.

’In this brief exchange, which lasted less than a minute...’

’Wind, fire, ice, earth, lightning, wood, dark... and that strange spatial-shifting ability from just now.’

’Just how many elements has she demonstrated control and affinity for?’

...

「In the conference room.」

Sun Lie’s face was a mask of shock. He pointed at the screen, his voice stuttering.

"Wind, fire, ice, earth, wood, lightning, dark... Just how many elements does that girl control?"

Yi Jiugao slowly uttered a few words, each one landing like a boulder in the hearts of everyone present.

"It’s not a question of ’how many’..."

"It’s... all of them."

The room erupted in shock at his words.

Vice Principal Hou Guanghe pulled a file marked "Top Secret" from a stack of documents at his side. He glanced at it and said slowly,

"Xia Lianxue. Martial Arts Spirituality: Elemental Sovereign... Rating: SS-Class."

SS-Class?!

The pupils of Sun Lie, Zhu Mingyi, and the others constricted in shock.

Zhu Mingyi nodded as well. "Her Cultivation Technique is called All Transformations Return to the Source... Its principle is ’All elements of heaven and earth are mine to command.’"

"Cultivating this technique greatly enhances one’s efficiency in sensing, absorbing, and commanding all elemental energies in the world. It also allows one to perfectly harmonize and convert different elemental powers within the body, achieving total elemental compatibility."

A trace of emotion he himself didn’t even notice crept into Yi Jiugao’s voice. "The Xia Family went to incredible lengths to obtain this nearly-lost ultimate technique. And Xia Lianxue is the only peerless genius in thousands of years to have mastered All Transformations Return to the Source and, through it, successfully awakened the Elemental Sovereign Martial Arts Spirituality."

"Her weapon, named Celestial Decree, is also a top-tier Spiritual Artifact."

"Its true form is a long staff, but it can freely switch between various forms—such as a longsword, a longbow, or an orb of magic—according to her will, perfectly adapting to any combat scenario."

"As for the domineering power of the Elemental Sovereign spirituality..."

"Not only does it grant Xia Lianxue mastery over all elements, but it also bestows upon her two heaven-defying abilities—Elemental Avatar and Absolute Dominion!"

"Take Dongfang Zhen’s Thunder Lord spirituality, for example. It provides the ultimate affinity for the single element of lightning. He would need to develop his spirituality to the fourth stage, Mimicry, to even have a chance at achieving a preliminary Elementalization."

"But Xia Lianxue doesn’t need to. She was born with the ability to transform her body into any elemental form she controls."

"As for Absolute Dominion... it grants absolute control over anything that contains elemental power. Theoretically, if she becomes powerful enough, she could even strip other elemental Martial Artists of their abilities!"

Yi Jiugao’s words left everyone in the conference room in a state of profound shock.

The developmental potential of this Martial Arts Spirituality was simply terrifying.

It was truly worthy of its SS-Class rating!

While they were talking, the situation on the battlefield underwent a subtle change.

Lin Ye gradually noticed that Xia Lianxue was consciously putting distance between them.

Clearly, close-quarters combat was not her strong suit.

Their recent melee had been more of a probe.

But now, the probing was over.

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!

Amidst a flow of brilliant light, the Seven-Colored Rapier in Xia Lianxue’s hand abruptly changed form, morphing into an elegant and dazzling longbow.

Xia Lianxue held the bow in her left hand and lightly plucked the string with her right.

There was no need for physical arrows. As her fingers moved, an arrow made entirely of ice crystals instantly materialized, followed by a flaming arrow burning with fierce fire, then a Thunder Arrow wreathed in crackling electricity...

In an instant, dozens of arrows imbued with different elemental powers were floating before her.

The next moment, she let go.

SHREEEEEEE!!!

A series of sharp, piercing whistles merged into a deafening roar as they tore through the air.

Ice spikes, flaming arrows, Thunder Arrows, Wind Blades...

Countless distinct elemental attacks merged into a frenzied torrent of death, pouring down on Lin Ye from all directions in an inescapable, all-encompassing barrage!

Lin Ye’s expression tensed. His body blurred into motion as he weaved and dodged through the impenetrable curtain of attacks, sometimes parrying with precise strikes of his long spear.
