Chapter 722: Chapter 414: The Name Hong Yi (4K)
Hong Yi could refine her Soul Body just like Rakshasa and Sanghun to make it indistinguishable from a real person.
But she was too lazy to do it.
Her creed was to float if she could avoid walking, to sit if she could avoid standing, and to crawl into a grave if such an option existed.
Naturally, she floated everywhere she went.
The characteristics of Ghost-type Troops were fully displayed on her.
However, this was not particularly unusual. Although the strong among those present were mostly Human Race soldiers and human ranks, there were a few non-human troops as well.
Fanged Berserkers, Flame Demon Sheep, Fear Knights, and so on—their appearances were much more eye-catching than Hong Yi's.
People paid more attention to Hong Yi because they thought: three top powerhouses have already appeared in a row, and each one is stronger than the last; could it be that this red-dressed spirit is actually the real final boss?
Ha, how could that be possible.
They think this is a novel or something.
The last formidable person called Zhou Yi had the standard to be in the top ranks of the Dragon Gate Ranking, not far behind the famously powerful Infinite Heavenly Wolf, Red Shadow.
The special instructor, Red Shadow, was naturally present as well.
He came to demonstrate, representing the academy in promotion, and naturally couldn't just leave. Even though he really wanted to leave, he didn't want to waste time here. He would rather spend this time training and battling.
Unexpectedly, not all the time today was a waste.
He had seen strong characters.
Irene and Sanghun were one thing, but Zhou Yi's performance truly caught his eye.

Zhou Yi had failed to break through the Water Dragon's Lament Illusionary Killing Formation. However, those who knew, knew—the reason Red Shadow could break through this killing formation so easily was also because he had experienced the Water Dragon's Lament Illusionary Killing Formation many times. He was very familiar with it, making it naturally not difficult to break through.
If Zhou Yi was familiar with this formation, he could break it too.
He might just spend a little more time than him.
In Red Shadow's mind, Zhou Yi's raw strength, even if not as good as his own, was also of the same order of magnitude. He began to have the urge to have a sparring fight.
Finding a strong character to battle whose strength didn't differ too much was quite difficult.
To exchange moves and communicate with an unfamiliar strong character was even more beneficial for self-improvement.
The more Red Shadow thought about it, the itchier his heart felt, but the hiring assessment had not yet ended, so he couldn't leave.
"Red Shadow, Red Shadow, you've waited for half a day already; a little longer won't hurt,"
"At most, another half hour and the assessment will end, endure! Just endure another half hour, then you can be completely thrilled!"
As he muttered to himself, his gaze also caught sight of the red-dressed ghost spirit floating into the formation from afar.
This female ghost looked like she hadn't woken up fully. How could she even challenge the trial?
Red Shadow thought it impossible.
Surely, only those like him and Zhou Yi were true powerhouses.
...
Hong Yi's eyes were bleary with sleep.
She was awake, but not completely.
However, this wasn't a problem; she had long been accustomed to this state. She could even say that in this half-asleep, half-awake state, she could wield Illusion Techniques even more easily.
"I'm ready. Let's get started... Yawn."
"Finish it early, and go back early..."
Hong Yi's bleary eyes scanned her surroundings, taking in each and every Water Dragon into her sight.
Their shapes, lights, shadows, movements... they all became clear in her mind rapidly.
'How should I fight?'
'Hmm, let's go with whatever's fastest.'
'Eye of Reincarnation isn't suited for use, and it's troublesome. For a mere Illusionary Killing Formation, it's unnecessary to go so far.'
She pondered and observed.
She didn't like thinking, but if thinking could save her some effort and time, she didn't mind doing a bit more of it.
First like this... then like that... and then do it this way.
Yep, the plan is solid.
Within a few seconds of stepping into the Water Dragon's Lament Illusionary Killing Formation, Hong Yi quickly simulated a set of tactics using Illusion Techniques and felt it was feasible.
At that moment, the grand formation began to buzz into action.
The originally harmless-looking Water Dragons became wild and fierce, stirring up monstrous momentum and waves.
Countless Water Dragons surged and roared within the formation, making Trialists feel as though they had been plunged into a turbulent sea in the blink of an eye.
In Hong Yi's eyes, it was all just noise.
Mere shadows and illusions.
"Break."
She breathed out lightly, and an invisible breeze fluttered out.
The breeze was formless, yet it seemed to be made of thousands of strands of Sharpness, sweeping across the field in an instant.
The surrounding ninety-nine majestic Water Dragons froze instantly.
Eighty-seven of the Water Dragons shattered like bubble shadows, leaving only twelve with the sound of Water flow still streaming on them.
However, this breach seemed to enrage the whole formation.
The Water Dragon's Lament Illusionary Killing Formation instantly went into full power, even overloading.
Mist filled the air.
From the dome above, huge amounts of water cascaded down like waterfalls.
Hundreds to thousands of raging Water Dragons burst out from every part of the formation, baring their claws, gathering water to strike.
"She, she, she... She's breaking the formation too!"
There was an exclamation from the audience outside the arena.
Around them, some spectators, still immersed in the previous battle, turned their gaze to the commotion upon hearing the shouts, and the exclamations then followed in waves, like a symphony orchestration.
This applicant named Hong Yi was actually breaking the formation!
The entire Water Dragon's Lament Illusionary Killing Formation had been roused to anger!
Being able to do this at least meant that this female ghost possessed a power exceeding that of the vast majority of strong characters on scene.
Red Shadow, who was still murmuring to himself, also turned to look, his pupils instantly constricting.
On the field, Water Dragons roared, like a Meteor Shower falling toward the slender red figure in the middle.
But Hong Yi was faster.
As the second "Break" sounded forth, the murmuring chant swept inside and out of the arena like torrential waves, and another ninety percent of the newly emerged Water Dragons dissipated like bubble shadows.
Immediately following, the vague shadows of buildings, shops, and pedestrians spread out from Hong Yi as the center, overlapping with the entire Water Dragon's Lament Illusionary Killing Formation.
Within the fierce torrential water domain, a bustling, noisy city scene was forcibly squeezed in.
