7 Cheng Tian's Special Power

"Cheng Tian, you... You..." Lin Long felt the blade he had strategically left on the ground earlier on his chest as he pretended to be seriously injured to that young man.

After seeing that, Cheng Tian panicked, starting to break into a cold sweat from accidentally injuring a teammate.

But just as he was about to approach Lin Long to help him, he suddenly heard a shout coming from far away, from the teacher in charge of their group.

"Hey!"

"Hey! What's going on?" That man said in a loud voice as he walked towards those two, finding Lin Long lying on the ground strange, while Cheng Tian had his martial soul in hand.

"Teacher, don't..." Cheng Tian was about to say something when Lin Long shouted in a tone laden with injustice. "Teacher... Cheng Tian attacked me all of a sudden! He's trying to kill me!"

"What?" Both the teacher and Cheng Tian shouted at the same time.

"Cheng Tian! You..." That teacher clenched his fists, but as he thought about what to do, Lin Long himself made a move against his target.

"Bastard! Don't think that I will fall alone! I'll take you with me no matter what!"

"Second Skill..."

Cheng Tian already had his Sharingan activating at the moment, as he promptly saw that his 'good' groupmate was preparing to attack him.

With that, while feeling betrayed and wronged, a second tomoe appeared in his eyes, and he unconsciously acted against Lin Long.

Genjutsu: Sharingan!

Before Lin Long could even activate his second skill, he fell into an illusion created by Madara's Sharingan ability, temporarily losing control over his powers.

At the same time, feeling that he had no way to explain himself to that teacher after the scene of the young man in front of him, Cheng Tian thought the only alternative he had, running away!

Attempted murder was not something simple to get away with when you were someone with no background, no power, like the orphan Cheng Tian. And considering his precarious position in Cryptid Academy, this situation would undoubtedly be the last straw for his expulsion.

To make matters worse, Lin Long had a clan behind him, which could bring far worse implications than just an expulsion!

'Bastard!'

'So those two were probably sent by you?' Cheng Tian pressed his jaw hard while holding Lin Long's neck with one of his hands, squeezing so hard that his veins were showing in his hands.

Suddenly, Cheng Tian unexpectedly felt unique energy surging in his arm holding Lin Long, something addictive that he could not help but allow himself to go on with that feeling.

Meanwhile, the teacher, who had been standing still for a few seconds, abruptly saw an incredible scene unfold in front of his eyes.

The young man, stabbed by a blade, who seemed to want to strike earlier, had become an idiot all of a sudden as Cheng Tian lifted him by his neck.

But the most impressive thing happened a few seconds later.

Just as Lin Long seemed to be coming out of his confused state, his three spirit rings, along with his martial soul, appeared. But instead of attacking his opponent, as expected, Lin Long began to howl in pain while cracks appeared on his martial soul at an alarming rate.

Then, the three rings, two yellow and one purple flashed simultaneously and slowly followed the path of Cheng Tian's arm. At the same time, the spirit rings of this black-haired young man appeared on the same arm, quickly beginning to blend with Lin Long's.

"What's that?"

"What's happening?" That teacher was petrified, seeing a situation like that for the first time in his life.

And as the six students inside the tents nearby slowly woke up, finally, what Cheng Tian had started came to an end.

Lin Long's martial soul exploded, and his three spirit rings miraculously merged with Cheng Tian's two rings.

At that moment, after letting Lin Long's dying body fall to the ground, Cheng Tian saw his martial soul, the black and white Fan, grow in size and become heavier. At the same time, his two previously white and yellow rings vibrated and then expanded.

The first spirit ring was the first to undergo a visible transformation, turning into a yellow one. However, things did not stop there until both turned into large purple rings!

However, the situation developed a bit more. Quickly Cheng Tian's soul power increased, reaching the peak of level 27 in a single breath!

"Monstrosity!"

"That is an abomination that cannot be allowed to live!" The teacher finally realized what had happened, even if he did not understand its mechanisms.

Even with his ignorance and uncertainties, that man knew that a spirit master who could steal his opponent's powers was an atrocity that should be stopped at all costs.

After all, if that were, as he thought, a Cheng Tian ability, then all the spirit masters in the Douluo Continent would be in danger if Cheng Tian was allowed to grow.

Thinking of this, he immediately decided to act!

"Fourth Skill..." After seeing that person planning to attack him, Madara's instincts appeared in Cheng Tian's body, and he immediately took the most effective path.

Shadow Clone Technique!

"First Skill: Total Reflection!"

"Second Skill: Chaotic Winds!"

Cheng Tian and his clone stood side by side, with one attacking the other, totally shocking that teacher.

But as the two purple rings glowed around those two identical creatures, that middle-aged, level 41 man felt a chill run down his spine.

And before his attack even formed, the original Cheng Tian's large black and white fan reflected his clone's attack toward that professor, sending an attack twice as strong as he could naturally unleash.

"How?"

"Damn it!"

"Third Skill: Turtle Shell!" A sizeable green shell appeared around that man's body as bursts of wind sliced toward him as if made of blades.

After a few breaths in that passive position, the teacher finally felt that the worst was over, looking in Cheng Tian's direction victoriously.

"Superb, brat! You hid very well! But now it's over..."

"Yes, it's over..." Cheng Tian's voice came from behind him while his right hand was outstretched, its firm fingers wrapped with almost all the spiritual energy in his body.

Naked Hand Carving!

After that, as the teacher looked back without understanding how Cheng Tian had come to his back, the frightening young man's right hand came down against his neck.

"No..." He barely managed to move when Cheng Tian's fingers cut two inches deep at the base of his neck.

"That... Cough! Damn Chen... Cheng... Cough!" He fell to his knees, his two hands around his neck, trying to stop his blood from continuing to drip from the cut made by Cheng Tian.

Upon seeing that, a smile appeared on the black-headed young man's face, and he moved one of his hands toward that man's neck.

But after touching it and trying to replicate the previous feeling, Cheng Tian felt a chill on his back. "No!" He said in a low voice.

'If I do that, I'll probably explode!' He looked from side to side and undid his third shadow clone before running away from that temporary camp.

He had felt full of energy after absorbing Lin Long's spirit rings. Then considering that his power had only increased by one level and this teacher was several times stronger than that other individual, he decided not to risk his life after discovering something so valuable about himself.

'Sigh!'

'I wanted to have some peaceful time while I could learn at that academy, but it looks like I'll have to manage things on my own...' He sighed as he ran away, feeling quite tired but with no option to stop.

'Anyway, it seems I have a fantastic innate ability!'

'Now I have two Thousand Years Spirit Rings on account of it!' His eyes sparkled in hope, with a sense of victory emerging in his heart.

'Good! Good!'

'This is how I will become a great spirit master in the Douluo Continent!'
