The sensation of being struck by Fake Tingyun's punch was quite peculiar.

When activating the Holy Shield...

It provided complete immunity to all damage, akin to watching someone pummel you without any effect whatsoever.

In contrast, the Elementary Card gave Bochang a brief taste of death before forcibly pulling him back.

With just one punch from Fake Tingyun,

Bochang felt as if his great-grandmother was beckoning him towards the afterlife in that instant.

Even now, remnants of Wind and Thunder power lingered within him, roaming through muscles and bones, causing rampant destruction to his tissues.

Fortunately, thanks to the Elementary Card's one-second invincibility, Bochang avoided experiencing that agony.

All damage during that period became entirely nullified.

However, once the invincible phase ended...

This is where it differs significantly from the Holy Shield.

The Elementary Student Card only activates upon sustaining fatal damage, and even with eventual immunity, Bochang still experiences some interference from enemy attacks.

In contrast, Holy Shield offers three seconds of proactive invulnerability. Nothing can penetrate it once activated.

Bochang stared intently at the charred fake Tingyun approaching him. As she drew nearer, he knew that if caught, he would face a relentless barrage of attacks. He thought to himself, "Is there anything else that could help me now?"

Honestly...

Bochang didn't expect defeat to come so swiftly. Without the Elementary Student Card's brief intervention, he would have been finished moments ago.

"It was around 4 PM yesterday afternoon when I battled Blade, and now my Holy Shield hasn't refreshed yet. The teleportation ring's ten-meter flash is insufficient against these Emanators; I need its full teleportation feature..."

However, using the teleportation function isn't ideal during combat...

Compared to flashing, teleportation is slower and requires mutual request delays.

By now, Fake Tingyun might have already overwhelmed and defeated Bochang during this delay.

"The teleportation ring isn't much help..."

As for Dan Heng and Stelle,

Bochang didn't place his hopes on them either.

After all...

Without Bochang holding the front line, their combined efforts couldn't even contain Fake Tingyun.

Welt Yang and the giant dragon Bailu -

Even witnessing this scene, they could only feel helpless anxiety. Fake Tingyun continuously controlled the azure hurricane to attack both of them, leaving them barely able to manage their own defense... How could they provide support?

"Could throwing banana peels make her slip and stop?"

Bochang pondered briefly, finding it highly unlikely. While his banana peel item guaranteed a trip with 100% certainty, someone had to actually step on it first.

Even if Bochang tossed it out,

Fake Tingyun would undoubtedly avoid stepping on it.

"The one-second invincibility from the Elementary Student Card is too short. Is there no other option now?"

Bochang's emotions were mixed; he hadn't anticipated that despite their prolonged fight, Fake Tingyun remained unscathed. In his momentary lapse of judgment, he misjudged her attack and took a direct hit...

Even his renowned blade couldn't handle it.

Her overwhelming strength was suffocating.

"Not...not entirely without options." Bochang's mind raced, quickly latching onto his only lifeline as he mentally cried out, "System! Save me!"

The colossal dragon Bailu, witnessing Bochang's defeat, panicked and immediately planned to divert aid towards him. This caused the enclosing bubble of water, meant to contain the battle area, to start collapsing.

The delicate balance shattered.

Countless azure hurricanes breached the defenses, launching assaults across the entire Exalting Sanctum.

Outside, numerous buildings crumbled amidst deafening crashes. Fortunately, due to the unusual circumstances, residents had spontaneously evacuated the vicinity. Additionally, the location was relatively remote, minimizing casualties.

With Bailu thrown off-balance...

Welt Yang stood alone, striving to stabilize the situation as ten simulated black holes sequentially shattered.

At this rate, Welt Yang wouldn't hold out for long. Gritting his teeth, he glanced towards someone specific on the battlefield.

Dan Heng had decided to intervene.

Welt Yang could sense the resurgence of immense power within him.

Of course...

The most telling sign was witnessing Dan Heng's transformation scene.

Countless streams of water gathered, forming a massive water dragon beside him.

It was impossible not to notice such a spectacle.

In the end...

[Dating Option] did not save Bochang.

Instead, it was an unexpected individual who appeared at her side.

None other than - Dan Heng!

With a stoic expression, the young azure dragon swiftly caught Bochang and launched a palm strike towards the approaching false Tingyun, or rather, Black Tingyun.

Having already been scorched twice before...

Even more charred marks covered her body.

With a graceful sweep of his palm, a massive azure dragon formed from water surged forth from beside him. Upon colliding with the false Tingyun, it instantly repelled him nearly a hundred meters away, drenching him like a drowned rat.

Moments later, Bailu's attack arrived—a burst of high-energy electrical discharge that once again whitened the sky and earth.

The fake Tingyun had no intention of taking this blow head-on and swiftly retreated.

"???"

Stelle, Qingque, March 7th, and others watched in shock as Dan Heng revealed a transformed appearance unlike before.

His ears became pointed, eyes turned green, and a pair of azure dragon horns appeared on his forehead—clearly the signs of a Vidyadhara.

The colossal dragon Bailu muttered to herself:

"He truly is a Vidyadhara! He tried to deceive me earlier, but now I've caught on, haven't I? But... why does he also have dragon horns just like mine? Aren't those the symbols of High Elders?"

"Wait, upon closer look, he seems quite familiar... Have I met him before somewhere?"

Held in her embrace, Bochang exclaimed in bewilderment, "No way... dude, you're actually a dragon!"

Honestly...

Seeing Dan Heng's sudden transformation was quite shocking.

"You resemble a dragon more than I do," Dan Heng replied calmly.

Despite his changed appearance, the stoic nature of the young azure dragon remained unchanged.

After accessing his hidden power, Dan Heng could distinctly sense the strong dragon aura emanating from Bochang—a truly perplexing revelation.

"Dan Heng...how did he transform? And with one strike, he repelled the fake Tingyun?" For March 7th, this scene felt almost surreal. "Unbelievable...even the omnipotent Teacher Dan Heng has hidden powers..."

Beneath the giant dragon Bailu's feet, the pink-haired girl held her bow in one hand and scratched her head with the other.

Facing an enemy like Fake Tingyun, an Emanator-level adversary...

The assistance that March 7th, Serval, and Qingque could provide was significantly limited.

Stelle and Dan Heng were not much different.

During the recent battle,

it was almost entirely sustained by Welt Yang, the colossal dragon Bailu, and Bochang.

After a fierce struggle,

Bochang fell first, leaving Dan Heng no choice but to take up the mantle.

"Another immortal draconic descendant... Why are there two?" Phantylia slowly typed out a question mark.

Having two High Elders on a single Xianzhou, is something amiss here?

"Rest well, I'll take over from here," said Dan Heng.

He entrusted Bochang to Stelle, who hastily arrived, leaving behind only a somber figure as he stepped forward.
