In fact, Shilin is indeed taking this opportunity to polish his stone body.
After the law of destruction came down, cracks of varying sizes appeared on the surface of the stone body. As the law of destruction gathered more and more, the number of these cracks also continued to increase.
Soon, Shi Lin's tall body was covered with spider-web-like cracks. These cracks connected together to form pieces of rubble that rolled down from his body.
However, what collapsed into rubble was only the outermost layer of the stone body. After the epidermis collapsed, the more solid layer of stone inside was exposed.
Shi Lin roared, put away his foolproof bow, and took the initiative to meet the destructive force that kept falling from above his head, and was in a stalemate with it.
Seeing this, everyone was surprised and impressed. Shi Lin actually resisted the power of destruction. Not only that, he even used his opponent's power to hone himself during the battle!
This kind of character and courage alone surpasses many people.
“The Law of Destruction is indeed very powerful, but the Abyss Stonemen have a unique talent. Their stone bodies have nine layers in total. It seems that one layer has been destroyed, but in fact, the remaining eight layers have been strengthened. It is beneficial rather than harmful.
With such a stalemate, the immortal energy in Xu Xianzi's body will soon be exhausted, and the winner has already been decided!"
"Shi Lin is really strong. In the previous duels, he never used his true strength. It seems that Fairy Xu is really going to lose this battle."
Many immortals who were optimistic about Xu Chunniang also fell silent. The current battle situation was indeed very unfavorable to her.
Shi Lin himself is very powerful, and he came well prepared, so Xu Xianzi's methods were restrained.
However, her trump card, the Word Spirit Technique, could not cause fatal damage to Shi Lin in a short period of time. If it continued to drag on, it would be bad.
Unless she could think of a way to control or defeat Shi Lin's stone body in a short period of time, she would definitely lose the battle.
But time passed by little by little, and as she watched the spiritual energy in Xu Chunniang's body become less and less, she never used any new methods.
Seeing this, everyone felt surprised, yet also felt it was natural.
If you think about it carefully, Xu Chunniang’s strength is actually not that strong. The reason why she can win every time is because of her various unexpected magical powers and endless new rules.
This style of play casts a veil of mystery over her and makes everyone have higher expectations of her.
Once she shows all her strength to everyone, this sense of mystery will disappear, and everyone's expectations of her will naturally decrease.
Old Gong sighed softly. Although before the fight started, Xu Chunniang had clearly told him that the chances of winning were slim and asked him to bet on Shi Lin instead.
But at the moment of placing the bet, he hesitated and put all the fairy crystals that he had originally intended to bet on Shi Lin on Xu Chunniang.
Whether or not he can make money is not important, just consider it as a little selfish desire of his, hoping that Miss Xu can achieve the final victory as usual.
But now it seems that this battle is really going to be lost. It is too difficult to use the power of destruction to grind away the nine layers of stone body of the stone forest.
Unless... she burned her lifespan at all costs in exchange for more laws of destruction, but this would be too much of a loss.
Many people who supported Xu Chunniang also fell silent. They had already realized that defeat was basically a foregone conclusion.
"No, I still don't want to believe that Fairy Xu will lose. She has encountered similar situations in many battles in the past, but every time, when everyone thought she was doomed to fail, she miraculously turned defeat into victory!
Since she was able to win before, I believe she can do it this time too!"
But more people are rational and believe that Xu Chunniang would not burn a large amount of her life in exchange for a chance to win.
Moreover, someone had analyzed it a few months ago that with the cultivation level of a human being in the immortal realm, being able to comprehend eighteen kinds of laws is already the limit.
Moreover, the reason why Xu Chunniang took a break from fighting for five months was because she had exhausted all her means, so she had to take a break and improve her strength by improving her cultivation.
"Alas, the myth was eventually broken. No one can stand on the altar forever. The reason why Xu Chunniang was able to win 25 games in a row was simply because she did not encounter a strong enough opponent."
"That's right. In the face of absolute strength, any so-called skills and luck are empty. Shi Lin is really strong. Xu Chunniang deserves to lose."
Because of the formation, these words did not reach Xu Chunniang's ears. She estimated the timing and it was almost time to lose.
The long battle had drained the last bit of spiritual energy from her body, and beads of sweat the size of beans oozed out of her forehead.
The spell of words was still continuing, constantly burning her lifespan, and only some tiny cracks appeared on the second layer of the stone body of the stone forest.
In a short period of time, it is basically impossible to destroy Shi Lin's stone body by relying on the destructive power of the Word Spirit Technique.
Moreover, the Word Art is not invincible. The longer it lasts, the more life span is burned. The gap in strength is too great. In the end, even if you win by relying on the Word Art, it will not be worth it.
Xu Chunniang finally withdrew her word magic and clenched her fists weakly.
Shi Lin seized the opportunity and quickly launched a counterattack, summoning several stone seals to smash at Xu Chunniang.
Xu Chunniang, who had lost all her spiritual energy, dodged four stone seals with difficulty, but was hit by the fifth stone seal. She groaned and fell on the stage.
Shi Lin was chasing, and seeing that things were not going well, the judge quickly stepped onto the stage and blocked the attack for Xu Chunniang.
"The winner has been decided. Xu Chunniang has lost her fighting ability. Please stop."
Shi Lin shrugged indifferently and did not continue to attack.
The judge breathed a sigh of relief. Although he felt sorry for Xu Chunniang, he saw the battle from beginning to end, and her loss was indeed not unfair.
"Shilin wins!"
There was a burst of cheers from below the ring, mixed with a few shouts and curses.
"Who said Xu Chunniang is invincible? She's exaggerating. I spent five thousand immortal crystals on her. Bah, this is the result? I don't think she is a match for Shi Lin at all!"
"She's a rare fighting genius in a thousand years, but I don't think she's anything more than that! I don't know how many immortal crystals she spent to hire so many people to build momentum for her."
After hearing these slanderous words, the immortals who admired Xu Chunniang became unhappy.
"Fairy Xu is very strong, but she suffers because she doesn't have a suitable magic weapon, and she is too popular. Her usual magical powers and laws have been figured out by others. Don't you see that she is being targeted
Shi Lin was too well prepared, she didn't show her true strength at all!"
"Haha, I've already lost. What's the point of saying this? Will you compensate me for the lost immortal crystals?"
Listening to the noisy noises around him, Mr. Gong shook his head speechlessly and quickly walked out of the fighting arena.
Miss Xu lost the fight and must be feeling very upset, so he had to go and see her quickly.
