Battle Through The Heavens Season 5
Ch. 38 - Challenge
The noisy open ground became much quieter following the appearance of the blood-robed figure. When the smell of blood came out, the few disciples whose strength was still low felt a chill all over their bodies even though the sun was hanging high in the sky at the moment.
"I think this guy just got back from carrying out his mission. This bloody aura is even more concentrated than those of ‘Black Corner’ Region." The eyebrows of the young lady dressed in red became vertical. His pupils stared directly at the blood-robed human figure while speaking softly.
"He did manage to rush back, huh .." Bai Shan's originally smiling face became slightly darker and more solemn when she saw a blood-robed human figure appear. In the Outer Academy of the Jia Nan Academy, the one he feared the most was not the Little Witch, which caused the expressions of others to change when they heard her name, nor was it Xun Er, whose character was indifferent, not even Xun Er, but the power is very good and unexpected. Instead, this man, whose body was filled with a bloody aura!
During these two years, Bai Shan and Wu Hao had openly and secretly exchanged blows more than ten times. Unfortunately, each time, he did not win. The aura of others, which consisted of intent to kill for the sake of killing, was truly too frightening. Bai Shan could foresee that if Wu Hao was given enough time to grow, the chances of his future achievements would be terrifying. In the countless clashes between the Jia Nan Academy, and the ‘Black Corner Region' during these few years, the, this blood-robed man was bathed in blood all the way as he stepped over countless corpses. He activated and maximized his potential in that brutal life-and-death battle. Step by step, he walked from an ordinary member of the Law Enforcement Unit to the level he was now!
In the Law Enforcement Unit, this man had a nickname that made people revered and feared: Blood Demon! The ferocious name formed from countless bloods and corpses.
"A concentrated bloody aura. Ah, Wu Tian Liang, that madman. Did he really want to train Wu Hao to be an existing person with the intention of killing people?" On the seat in the middle of the stadium, a yellow-robed old man frowned and said, "If this continues, Wu Hao will sooner or later lose his mind due to the overly concentrated killing aura."
"I don't think so. Although Wu Tian Liang might be eccentric and ferocious, he had always viewed Wu Hao as his own son. I thought by letting him come to participate in the Inner Academy Qualifying Competition, he wanted to let Wu Hao take a temporary leave of absence from the Law Enforcement Unit. The Inner Academy, the gathering place of all sorts of strange and talented individuals, should be able to suppress Wu Hao, whose character was indifferent and who viewed human life as worthless." The Vice Principal pondered for a moment before speaking slowly.
"Hopefully... If this incredible seedling were to be damaged, it would be a huge loss for the academy." The old man sighed again before he replied.
"That's fine. Back then, even the Head of the Academy had personally said that if Wu Hao was given ten years and the reason could remain uncorroded by the bloody aura, his strength would probably reach an extremely powerful stage." The old man called Old Huo also nodded slightly as he spoke.
"Ke Ke, it seems like there are quite a number of excellent competitors who are very prominent in this year's Qualifying Competition." The Vice Principal smiled and said, "Bai Shan, Wu Hao, Xun Er, and Xiao Yan who appeared out of nowhere. Looking at the strength shown by these few people, the strength of the year is much more qualified."
"You've forgotten the Little Witch of your family who gives people headaches. How many people in this Outer Academy are not afraid of him?" The old man on one side rolled his eyes and said.
The Vice Principal laughed bitterly at this. His gaze was shifted to one place in the spectator gallery. As she looked at the red-clothed young lady leaning against the guardrail, her eyes throbbed and suddenly said in a daze and despair, "I am very satisfied with her talent. However, his character like that made people afraid to give praise. I was still waiting for her to find a good man to give birth to a baby and continue the family line. Who would have thought that he actually did not pay attention to men! "
The three old men could not help but laugh involuntarily when they heard these words about him.
"Bai Shan, Wu Hao, Lu Mu, or even that Xiao Yan. All of them are rare talents to find. Among the younger generation, they belonged to an extraordinary class. After the Qualifying Competition was completed and they entered the academy within, the first five people would undergo special exams according to the rules. When the time comes, I think Hu Jia will be a little touched after staying with them for some time." The old man beside the Vice School Head comforted with a smile. Hu Jia, most likely was the name of that red-clothed young lady.
"Bai Shan's talent was indeed not bad, but his openness was slightly lower. Wu Hao was dedicated to fighting and killing. During these years, I have never seen him have feelings for any girl except Xun Er. As for Lu Mu, the person he liked was not the type of girl like Hu Jia. We don't even have to bother mentioning about Xiao Yan. With a beautiful and amazing girl like Xun Er, will she go and love someone else?" The Vice School Head shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Hearing this, the three old men could only show helpless expressions.
The Vice Principal sighed and threw out the matter that made him dizzy. His gaze was once again focused on the competition.
Following the appearance of Wu Hao dressed in a blood robe in the arena, the jury waited for a moment before shouting the slogan of the competition began.
The jury's shout had just fallen as Wu Hao's opponent hurriedly retreated over ten steps. Dou Qi circulated rapidly throughout his body, and finally formed a Dou Qi robe on the surface of his body. He gripped his weapon tightly in his hand as his gaze stared intently at Wu Hao, who remained opposite him. He didn't even blink once.
The disciples in the spectator gallery around the arena did not let out a mocking laugh when they saw this action. During these few years, the name Blood Demon Wu Hao was no less famous than Little Witch Hu Jia, or Xun Er in the Outer Academy of the Jia Nan Academy. From a certain angle, Wu Hao might even far surpass the two of them.
The blood robe moved slightly. There was a pair of eyes filled with killing intent, like a pack of bloodthirsty wolves in the meadow. Just this pair of eyes, which contained no emotions whatsoever, caused his opponent to feel his head becoming a little numb while his hands were drenched in sweat.
"Are you not going to give up?" A hoarse voice slowly sounded from under the blood robe. Hearing this, the expression of a competitor named Yan Cheng became a little ugly. He gritted his teeth and said with a strong face while feeling weak inside, "Again only. I want to see how powerful the Blood Demon really is! "
The blood-robed figure did not even move when facing Yan Cheng's attack, which contained a hint of fury. However, just as the attack was about to strike his body, his body suddenly waved. The human figure instantly disappeared in a strange way.
Yan Cheng's attack missed and he shrank his eyes. Without any hesitation, the weapon in his hand once again pierced through his back.
"About!" The tip of the sword, which was made of steel, had just pierced towards his back when a blood-red heavy sword appeared out of nowhere, easily blocking the sword in front of him. The heavy sword was quite large in size, with a body width of about three inches. It was almost comparable to the Heavy Xuan Ruler Xiao Yan.
When one heard the sound of compressed wind emitted when the heavy sword was swung, it seemed like the weight of the sword could not be underestimated.
The two swords touched. With a random gentle swing of the heavy sword, the power contained within shook the long sword in Yan Cheng's hand until it slipped out of his grasp. He used all his strength to hold it. Not only did he not succeed, but the area between his thumb and index finger was shaken by the immense force on the sword until it opened, fresh blood flowed.
In their first exchange, a weapon was dropped. This scene even caused Xiao Yan who was sitting in the audience gallery to feel a little surprised. No matter how one said it, that Yan Cheng was also a five star Dou Shi.
Astonishment flashed across Yan Cheng's face as his weapon fell. His feet quickly retreated and had just retreated about ten meters away when he suddenly felt a cold air flowing behind him. Before he had time to react, a heavy sword, containing the color of blood, was mounted on his neck. The thick and cold air emitted from the sharp tip of the sword caused Yan Cheng's body to instantly stiffen.
In just two exchanges, Yan Cheng, who possessed the strength of a five star Dou Shi, was defeated. This kind of result caused a commotion to be heard throughout the stadium. Although there was hardly anyone who had any excessive expectations that Yan Cheng could defeat Wu Hao, no one would have expected that Yan Cheng could only withstand two exchanges before the sword was placed around his neck …
"What a fast speed ..." As Xiao Yan watched Wu Hao in the arena holding a blood-colored heavy sword while calmly standing behind Yan Cheng, some seriousness appeared on Xiao Yan's face.
"The best thing that Wu Hao did was speed. In addition, he also practiced the Xuan Grade High Agility Dou Technique: ‘Blood Shadow Flash’. He had borrowed the unique effects of this Dou Agility Technique to appear behind Yan Cheng without leaving a trace before. Moreover, his strength was also very strong. This was evident from how he raised that extremely heavy greatsword and swung it in his hand as if it was something light." Xun Er, by his side gently revealed some information about Wu Hao. He was also a little worried that Xiao Yan would be harmed, for not having enough information if he ended up facing Wu Hao.
"His speed and strength are not weak .. Isn't it similar to me?" Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows and glanced at the heavy sword in Wu Hao's hand. He then glanced at the Heavy Xuan Ruler on his back. Both are similar heavy weapons. If the two of them were to fight, it would be a match of speed against speed, strength against strength. A thrilling battle that would leave everyone speechless.
"This person seemed to be an opponent that was even more formidable than Bai Shan. I need to be more careful of this guy in the future."
"It is worthy of being the Jia Nan Academy. Strong young people appeared without end from this place. If I hadn't gone through two years of hard training, it would have been very difficult to catch up with these abnormal people." Xiao Yan exclaimed. When he was training in the Jia Ma Empire, other than Nanlan Yanran, who had borrowed help from the sect, he rarely met anyone else among the younger generation who was on par with him. However, he had only arrived at the Jia Nan Academy a few days ago, when a very suitable opponent with him would often appear. This caused Xiao Yan to be unable to help but sigh emotionally. This place is truly a gathering place for talented people!
As Wu Hao placed the heavy sword around his opponent's neck inside the arena, a jury hurriedly shouted out a sentence for the competition to end. The Qualifying Competition could tolerate injuries but the academy did not want to see death. Therefore, there was a rule in the competition that one could not deliver a deadly blow when the other party lacked the ability to fight back. If not, he will be severely punished. This rule was something that others might obey but to Wu Hao, who was used to killing people, it was just something cursory. Therefore, the jury did not dare to delay. He was afraid that if his shout was a second late, another bright red color would be added to that heavy sword, which was already polluted with countless fresh blood.
The blood-colored heavy sword in Wu Hao's hand trembled slightly when he heard the jury's cry. He immediately slowly pulled her back. As the heavy sword left, Yan Cheng's entire body became weak as he regained his senses while repeatedly panting.
Wu Hao ignored Yan Cheng who was kneeling beside his feet. His blood-red robe trembled slightly, and a pair of indifferent eyes slowly moved upwards along the spectacle gallery. Finally, he stopped at the place where the Huang Class – Second Class was watching. More precisely speaking, it should have stopped at Xiao Yan, who was sitting beside Xun Er.
Under the focus of the countless eye gazes, he raised the blood-colored heavy sword in his hand. Finally, he pointed at Xiao Yan from a distance. His hoarse and indifferent voice echoed throughout the stadium.
"You are Xiao Yan?"
"Do you dare come down and fight with me?"
The indifferent hoarse voice caused the entire gallery of spectators to be shocked. Immediately, countless gazes let out a ‘desir’ sound as they turned towards the black-robed young man not far from there!
