Jiang Lin made up his mind, and after the previous ghost messenger left, he leaped onto the arena.
Although he wanted to test the strength of the gray power within him, since he decided to keep it as a trump card, he couldn't expose it on such a large arena.
A good knife should be used on the blade.
And besides…
Compared to sealing techniques and formations, what Jiang Lin cared about most were the first two matches of his opponent:
—The techniques displayed when dealing with Liu Buwei and Captain Niutou Chu Yong'an.
The one-hit kill, and the method of instant disappearance.
If his realm was suppressed and his ghost energy reduced,
Could it allow the opponent to display more skillful abilities?
Jiang Lin stood firm on the arena and cupped his hands, saying:
"Please, sir, guide me."
"Ghost General realm?"
Looking at the latest ghost messenger to appear, Nan Ming raised an eyebrow.
Was he deliberately suppressing his realm?
While suppressing his internal realm to the Ghost General level, he sized up Jiang Lin.
He had seen this fellow in the Southern Hall.
As the latest generation of disseminators…
Could that terrifying power be emanating from him?
Nan Ming stretched his wrist and said, "Come on."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Lin, who had adjusted his breathing, charged forward.
With a spinning kick, he aimed for the opponent's head.
Nan Ming was about to raise his hand to block, but the next second, he changed his mind and leaned back, dodging the attack.
The moment he dodged, a blade formed entirely of ghost energy emerged from Jiang Lin's kicking foot.
The Ghost General realm was just enough to allow the ghost energy within to manifest.
Like flowing flames, it formed an armor on the surface of the body.
And after learning the use of ghost energy in the Southern Hall, Jiang Lin realized that
Even such a small amount of ghost energy could be transformed into various combat styles.
...
"This is… a skill from the Southern Hall?!"
The surrounding ghost messengers exclaimed, and instinctively looked towards the group of ghost messengers from the Southern Hall on the other side.
Zhong Kui chuckled and nodded, thinking: This is a good on-site advertisement.
He was about to remind the team behind him that this was business delivered to their doorstep.
But when he turned around.
They were all wide-eyed, looking at the arena with eager anticipation.
Zhong Kui: "..."
On the other side.
As the competition on the arena progressed, the onlookers discussed enthusiastically.
"Captain Jiang has passed three moves!"
Many captains before him were KO'd within three moves.
"This is different. Their realms were both suppressed to the Ghost General realm, so they could only compare techniques.
And duels between high realms usually end in one or two moves."
"As expected, fighting magic with magic!"
"But at Captain Jiang's level, what's the use of just comparing bare-handed skills?"
A ghost messenger in gray asked curiously.
It was rare to spar with a Yama from the Southern Hall…
The previous captains all used their strengths, and even if they lost,
They could still receive relevant guidance.
But bare-handed combat…
At Captain Jiang's level, it was basically useless, wasn't it?
Whether it was ghost energy bombardment or ghost weapons, weren't they all simpler and more direct than bare-handed combat?
The ghost messenger next to him was stunned.
"It seems to be the case. Why?"
"When we reach that level, we'll probably know?"
"I don't understand the world of the powerful. I'll just enjoy the show."
"Go, Captain Jiang, go!"
...
On the arena,
Jiang Lin and Nan Ming were both extremely fast in their attacks and reactions.
One move from you, one move from me.
Almost immediately after breaking the opponent's move, they would counterattack.
Moreover, compared to Nan Ming's effortless grace, Jiang Lin was almost unable to keep up several times.
Although both were in the Ghost General realm and used methods from the Southern Hall,
Nan Ming knew far more than Jiang Lin.
His various moves were infinitely varied and unexpected.
It was completely unpredictable.
Throughout the fight, Jiang Lin's mind was also constantly opening up.
"Wow..."
As Jiang Lin and Nan Ming displayed more and more techniques,
Outside the arena, a group of ghost messengers watched in amazement.
So this is how powerful the Ghost General realm can be!
Even some high-ranking ghost messengers hadn't expected that…
With the limited ghost energy of the Ghost General realm, so many strange and peculiar combat methods could be displayed?
If… these moves were performed with the Ghost King realm,
Would they also have a surprising effect?
At this moment,
Nan Ming delivered a side kick towards Jiang Lin.
Jiang Lin bent down to dodge.
Then he extended his right foot and swept it horizontally towards Nan Ming, who had just landed.
Nan Ming tapped his toe, about to leap backward.
Unexpectedly, thin, long ghost energy tentacles suddenly extended from Jiang Lin's foot, wrapping around Nan Ming's ankle.
This directly pulled Nan Ming off balance, causing him to fall to the side.
Jiang Lin thought this would at least restrain the opponent for a while.
He raised his eyes, but caught a glimpse of Nan Ming's lips curling up.
...He was actually smiling?!
Jiang Lin sensed something was wrong, but before he could react,
The next moment,
Nan Ming twisted his waist using the inertia of his tilt.
His entire upper body rotated 270°, and with a gust of wind, he threw a punch towards Jiang Lin's chest.
Jiang Lin was startled and tried to dodge.
Nan Ming pulled on his entangled ankle, actually dragging Jiang Lin towards him.
At this point, it was too late to release the ghost energy tentacles wrapped around his foot.
Bang!
Nan Ming's punch landed on Jiang Lin.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
Jiang Lin flew backward and rolled on the ground.
When he got up again, a ghost energy blade was already at his neck.
Jiang Lin was stunned, then admitted defeat and said:
"I lost."
He recalled Nan Ming's punch just now.
Because the distance was very close and his mental power was concentrated,
He could feel the power of that punch…
At the beginning, there was no ghost energy at all.
Only when he got close did a fierce burst of ghost energy suddenly erupt from his fist.
This ability to retract and release, the instantaneous control… was truly remarkable.
Anyone who didn't know would have thought it was a feint and become careless.
Nan Ming retracted the ghost energy blade and said, "You learn quite quickly."
"I can see you've thoroughly reviewed your ghost energy basic courses."
"But you still lack practical combat experience."
Jiang Lin nodded, "That's right."
Because of the Yin Qi Pills, he had basically encountered no bottlenecks in his cultivation.
But because of this, he lacked experience in using ghost energy.
Later, he bought a basic application manual from the Southern Hall, which filled this gap for him.
But with his current strength and status,
The opponents he encountered either decided the outcome in one move or used ghost energy techniques in a grand, sweeping manner.
Compared to this Lord Yama, Jiang Lin's experience was far, far behind.
However, this match also opened up some new ideas for him.
Many things might seem powerful, but as long as their underlying logic is understood, there are ways to break them.
For example, Shen Luo's sealing formation, and Captain Niutou Chu Yong'an's trident.
Nan Ming's skills were also like that.
From such close-range, low-realm duels, one could observe details more effectively.
Such as the methods of ghost energy application, combat thinking, and so on.
Grand, sweeping attack methods would only lead to the same fate as Liu Buwei and Chu Yong'an,
Losing before they even understood what was happening.
Although there were also those like Shen Luo who could receive professional guidance,
For the current Jiang Lin,
Understanding the basic principles was the key to inferring and evolving more things.
The process of this battle was the greatest 'guidance'!
Jiang Lin took a step back and cupped his hands.
He said sincerely, "Thank you for your guidance, sir!"
