“They’re fighting! These two guys are finally fighting!”
“Who do you think will win?”
“I’m really eager to see if this rookie is as badass as the Ace brothers say he is.”
“Although he defeated Hiram, it doesn’t mean that he’s Arthur’s match. Arthur’s three Arcanas are sick, especially the Molecularization Arcana, which is simply unbeatable. It’s unaffected by not only all attacks but also manipulative Arcanas. He’s sick!”
“There’s also Absolute Zero and the Face-inlaid Energy Cannon, which are equally sick.”
“Indeed. Absolute Zero can freeze objects and dimensions as well, while the Face-inlaid Energy Cannon claims to destroy everything.”
“One for defense, one for control, and one for offense. With three OP abilities in one, there are few perfect Arcanists like Arthur. If Ling Jiu is thinking of defeating Arthur, it will be a difficult task.”
“You have a point, but Ling Jiu has defeated Hiram. That shows he’s not a weakling, so it’s hard to tell who will prevail.”
“Let’s just wait and see.”
Hao Shuai and a group of veteran trainees had also scaled over the barrier. Before long, they saw the scene they had been desperately wanting to see.
Ling Jiu versus Arthur Austin was finally on.
“Show me what you got, Ling Jiu.” Hao Shuai clenched his fists. “Are you a Level 8 Arcanist now?”
Facing Arthur Austin, who was full of confidence, Ling Jiu just smiled faintly. “Your Molecularization Arcana is indeed sick, but you can’t escape me even if you can transform into molecules, atoms, or even quarks.”
“Really?” Arthur Austin sneered.
“Listen!” Ling Jiu warned. “Your head will say goodbye to you before you know it.”
Arthur Austin sneered again. Just then, a mysterious force suddenly descended and enveloped him.
Arthur Austin knew that Ling Jiu had made his move. He willed his Molecularization Arcana in his mind, but he was soon frozen in place.
“All your Arcanas will be useless against Time Halt.”
Ling Jiu appeared in front of Arthur Austin, and the Emissian war blade materialized in his hand. He slashed Arthur’s throat lightly with the blade and a streak of blood appeared on his neck.
The low-level Venom Suit on Arthur Austin was akin to a piece of paper before the Emissian war blade, which had severed his head from his neck.
Ling Jiu waved his hand, and Arthur Austin’s body vanished, leaving only his head suspended in the air.
Ling Jiu then lifted the Time Halt.
“Molecularization Arcana!”
Arthur Austin continued from where he had left off when his consciousness resumed its function, but his head disappeared from the spot.
The next moment, his head reappeared 100 meters away, and he spoke disdainfully, “As I said, you can’t do anything to me at all.”
“Oh, really?” Ling Jiu sneered. “If you look at yourself carefully, you’ll be pleasantly surprised!”
“Huh?”
Arthur Austin looked at himself suspiciously, only to discover that his body was gone and only his head remained.
“What’s going on? Where is my body?!” Arthur Austin screamed in horror.
“This is the horror of Time Halt.”
Looking at Arthur Austin going hysterical, Ling Jiu could not help sighing.
As time came to a standstill, Arthur’s consciousness also entered into a suspended state. He could not feel a thing even if his body had been destroyed.
So, the Time Halt was the most terrifying, manipulative skill in the world. When time was paused, one’s thoughts and consciousness were stopped at that moment.
Fighting back was impossible.
To be precise, not even the thought of struggle existed.
“What happened just now? Why did Arthur Austin suddenly freeze?”
“I heard that Ling Jiu has Dimensional Arcana. Could it be that he has used Dimensional Shackle on Arthur? It shouldn’t be. Even if the dimensional is frozen, Arthur’s consciousness could still function. He could have performed Molecularization in an instant.”
“Was it an illusion or some mind control Arcana?”
“It’s possible. The only way to stop Arthur’s Molecularization is to manipulate his mind. Only illusions or mind control Arcana can do that.”
The veteran trainees who watched the battle were all shocked by what they had seen. They were whispering to each other and speculating about what was happening. Everyone thought that Arthur was most likely experiencing an illusion or being affected by a mind control Arcana.
However, Hao Shuai had a different opinion. “It wasn’t an illusion or a mind control Arcana but...”
“Huh?”
Those veteran trainees looked at Hao Shuai.
“It’s Time Halt.”
Hao Shuai’s face was grave. This bugger had secretly replicated his Time Halt. Damn it!
“Time Halt?”
Those veteran trainees looked at each other. Time Arcanas were very rare, and they had never appeared in the history of the matriculation camp. That was why they did not think of Time Half at first.
“How did you know it is Time Halt?” a veteran trainee asked in puzzlement.
“Because the Time Halt Arcana was originally mine.”
Hao Shuai’s face was grim. “But that bugger secretly replicated it from me.”
The veteran trainees were in an uproar.
“Incredible! Someone actually has Time Halt!”
“Time Halt might be powerful, but this guy’s Arcana Replication is more extraordinary. He will get your Arcanas if you are not careful.”
“Absolutely.”
On the other side.
“What the hell have you done?”
Arthur Austin finally came out of his shock and glowered at Ling Jiu. “Where’s my body?”
“You want me to give it back to you?” Ling Jiu sneered. “You’re about to die, so why do you still need your body? Can you even reattach your head to your body?”
“Return my body to me!” Arthur Austin growled.
“What makes you think I’ll comply?” Ling Jiu snickered.
“Just because he’s Arthur Austin!” A crisp voice came.
Ling Jiu turned his head and saw a tall figure shrouded in a Venom Suit appearing out of thin air.
“Euphemia Athena?”
Ling Jiu cocked an eyebrow. He recognized the woman’s voice—it was the former camp beauty.
“My advice to you, Ling Jiu, is to return Arthur’s body immediately,” Euphemia said in a frosty voice. “He has Molecularization Arcana. As long as the body is not completely dead, he can use Molecularization Arcana to reconnect with his head.”
Euphemia had a stern look in her eyes. “But, once the vitality is gone, and the body is dead, Arthur will be dead. Therefore, time is running out!”
“Now I know,” Ling Jiu said.
“That’s a really buggy ability. To be honest, I am starting to covet it now. But too bad, time is running out.”
“What do you mean?” Euphemia frowned.
“I plan to kill him, so why should I return his body to him? I’m not brain-damaged, okay?” Ling Jiu shook his head. “Take his head and go. At least there’s something to be buried.”
“You’re playing with fire, Ling Jiu!”
Euphemia’s face was icy as she warned, “Arthur is the direct heir of the Austin family, one of the world’s top ten families, and Arthur’s father is a Level 10 Arcanist. Anyone who dares to hurt Arthur will earn the wrath of the Austin family and the Level 10 Arcanist. Are you sure you can risk that?”
“Ling Jiu, hand over my body now!” Arthur snapped.
“The top ten families in the world, and a Level 10 Arcanist father... That sounds pretty scary.”
Ling Jiu nodded, looking as if he was intimidated. Euphemia and Arthur Austin thought Ling Jiu was going to hand over the body. Yet, Ling Jiu suddenly waved his blade in a flash, and a bloody cut appeared on Austin’s face.
The next moment, Arthur’s head split in half.
“You... You...”
Arthur Austin scrambled to perform Molecularization and went back to his original state a few hundred meters away. His face was grim, and disbelief filled his eyes.
“You... How dare you...”
“You should have talked nicely to me. I hate being threatened.”
Ling Jiu shook off the blood from the blade. “Besides, when you piss me off, I won’t hesitate to kill you even if you are the King of Heaven.”
“Ling Jiu, do you know what you are doing?” Euphemia trembled with anger. “You will pay a heavy price for what you have done. Even your parents, your brothers and sisters, and your friends will bear the price for your stupid action.”
A blade flashed across the air in front of Euphemia all of a sudden.
She was so frightened that she quickly performed Blink Arcana and reappeared hundreds of meters away.
She looked in horror at Ling Jiu, who had appeared in the spot where she had stood earlier. “Madman! You’re a madman!”
“I told you, don’t threaten me!” Ling Jiu shot a glance at her. “Otherwise, my 40-meter war blade will not hesitate to do its work even if you are a camp beauty.”
Euphemia was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she backed away.
“As for you... go to hell!”
Ling Jiu glanced at Arthur Austin and pointed his finger into the void. A dimensional crack appeared behind Arthur Austin with a terrifying suction force. The dimensional crack then swallowed Arthur Austin’s head entirely.
He was banished to another dimension.
“Brutal! This guy is brutal! He killed Arthur with no hesitation. What can he not do?”
“Stay away from him in the future. Don’t provoke him. Otherwise, Arthur’s fate will be our end.”
“Arthur is over.”
“The Austin family is based in America. It is one of the top ten families in the world. It’s said that the family has Level 10 Arcanists among them. Arthur’s father is an authentic Level 10 Arcanist and Vulcan Arcana Combine’s Department Manager.”
“So anyone in his sound mind would not want to offend Arthur in the matriculation camp. Yet Ling Jiu killed him. Who is Ling Jiu? Isn’t he afraid of the Austin family’s revenge?”
“Who knows? Just don’t mess with him and we will be fine.”
“That’s right! Stay away from a killer like him—the farther, the better.”
“Let’s go! Hurry before he silences us by killing everyone.”
“Right.”
Those veteran trainees’ hearts skipped a beat, and they fled the place like bats out of hell.
