Almost there!

As the iron gate opened, Xu Jie took a deep breath, calmed his nerves, and walked out, stepping onto the dueling stage in the center of the training ground.

Soon, he saw his opponent, a Senior Year student ranked 100th on the ranking board.

If Xu Jie wanted to fight in the ranking battles, he had to start from the last ranked fighter; that was the rule for ranking battles.

When the two stood firm on the stage, the voice announcing the start of the battle blared from the school's loudspeaker.

The Senior Year student first peered intently at Xu Jie, whose expression was utterly cold.

Then, adopting the air of a Senior Year upperclassman, he sneered and introduced himself.

"Xu Jie? I'm... uh!"

Too much talking!

Before the Senior Year student could finish his sentence, Xu Jie had already made his move.

A flash of saber light streaked across the stage, and then the Senior Year student was clutching his throat, kneeling on the ground, spewing a torrent of blood. His body then crashed to the ground with a thud.

Throughout the entire process, Xu Jie's vital energy only erupted for a moment, without a single wasted movement.

He was like a seasoned assassin, dispatching his opponent in an instant.

His speed was so great that most of the spectators couldn't even discern Xu Jie's cultivation level!

The previously noisy spectator stands gradually fell silent, everyone staring in disbelief at Xu Jie, who stood motionless on the stage, his face expressionless, as if he had just slaughtered a chicken.

A veteran Senior Year student at Blood Moving Realm Layer 9 was dead just like that?

They were not only shocked by Xu Jie's strength and methods but even more so by the fact that Xu Jie dared to kill someone directly!

There were always casualties in the school's ranking battles!

However, in most cases, these were due to the intensity of the fight, making it impossible to effectively control their power, leading to accidental deaths or injuries.

But Xu Jie, at this moment, was clearly intending to kill!

His combat power had crushed his opponent, yet he still killed his opponent with a single saber strike. The nature of these two actions was entirely different.

On the stage, after killing a Senior Year student, Xu Jie narrowed his eyes slightly.

[Successfully killed Qian Liang (qualification multiplier: 1), plundered 60 years of usable lifespan!]

Was plundering lifespan after killing someone different from killing demons?

What was this qualification multiplier?

Just as Xu Jie thought this, his Life-Slaughter System gave him a new prompt.

[Prompt! Among living beings, there are those with outstanding qualifications. After the host kills them, they can plunder lifespan multiplied according to the qualification rating!]

So that's how it is...

Does this mean if I kill so-called prodigies among demons, I can also gain multiplied lifespan?

This is interesting!

"System, use all lifespan to upgrade... Blood Burning Art!"

Currently, the most important thing for Xu Jie was to continue Blood Moving and complete the extreme nine Blood Movings.

As for the newly acquired Profound-grade Saber Technique, there was no rush, as he would have plenty of lifespan from killing his way through the ranking list!

[Advanced Stance Cultivation · Blood Burning Art (Great Accomplishment): After eight years, you completed the third Blood Moving relying solely on the Blood Burning Art without any cultivation resources, breaking through to Blood Moving Realm Layer 12. You did not choose to break through to Pulse Opening Realm, attempting to continue Blood Moving.]

[Advanced Stance Cultivation · Blood Burning Art (Peak): In the twenty-fourth year, the difficulty of the fourth Blood Moving significantly increased, but you never gave up. Through diligent perseverance, you finally completed the fourth Blood Moving in the twenty-fourth year.]

[After sixty years of arduous cultivation, limited by the lack of resources, you still could not complete the fifth Blood Moving. However, you knew you were just a step away from the fifth Blood Moving!]

[Progress towards next lottery draw (135/500)!]

Blood Moving Four Times!

After consuming 60 years of lifespan, Xu Jie not only broke through to Blood Moving Realm Layer 12 but also reached four Blood Movings.

Four Blood Movings meant his vital energy surpassed that of a peak Blood Moving Realm martial artist in their normal state.

Vital energy represented a person's overall physical strength, and with each additional Blood Moving, his combat power would soar.

Xu Jie then forcefully suppressed the surging blood within his body, as if nothing had happened.

He reopened his eyes and calmly looked towards the male instructor serving as the referee below the stage.

"I want to continue challenging, the student ranked ninety-seventh!"

As soon as Xu Jie said this, murmurs began to ripple through the spectator stands.

Although everyone knew Xu Jie intended to fight all ten ranking battles, seeing Xu Jie's current demeanor, they wondered if he intended to keep killing.

Xu Jie himself had no interest in the surrounding discussions.

He simply watched the frowning referee below, waiting for his second opponent to step onto the stage.

The reason he challenged the ninety-seventh ranked student, instead of the ninety-fifth, was precisely because he wanted to kill!

If not for the rules of the ranking battles, Xu Jie would have even wanted to challenge them one by one, truly killing his way through the ranking list.

The male referee frowned upon hearing this. He took out his walkie-talkie and said a few words before sternly admonishing him.

"Xu Jie, these people are your schoolmates. Show some mercy when you fight them so you can meet them again in the future!"

"Oh, excuse me, but are we not allowed to kill during ranking battles?"

"..."

Seeing Xu Jie's stubborn refusal, the male referee could only let out a cold snort and stopped trying to persuade him.

Before long, a Senior Year student with a rather solemn expression walked out of the lounge, sword in hand, and stood opposite Xu Jie.

"Xu Jie, I forfeit, you win... Huh?"

Xu Jie paid no attention to what the other person was saying. He only heard the broadcast announce "Combat begins."

Immediately, he attacked. A flash of his saber, and with overwhelming power and ghost-like speed, he beheaded the Senior Year student on the spot.

[Successfully killed Zhou Tao (qualification multiplier: 1), plundered 52 years of usable lifespan!]

"System, use it on the Blood Burning Art!"

[Advanced Stance Cultivation · Blood Burning Art (Peak): After three years of grinding, you have completed the fifth Blood Moving.]

[In your twentieth year, despite cultivating day in and day out, the sixth Blood Moving still hasn't been successful.]

[After fifty-two years, you have still only Blood Moved five times. Perhaps... breaking through to the Pulse Opening Realm now would be more cost-effective. The years of hard work have even caused a sliver of hesitation: should you continue with Blood Moving?]

[Progress towards next lottery draw (187/500)!]

On the stage, two corpses lay dead, staining more than half of the platform red. The crimson blood was so glaring.

Male referee: "..."

Chu Mingyue: "..."

Xu family siblings: "..."

School leadership: "..."

Spectating students: "..."

In the spectator stands of the field, many students couldn't help but stand up, their faces filled with disbelief and astonishment, seemingly not expecting Xu Jie's methods to be so ruthless.

That Senior Year student had actually already announced his forfeiture, but his speed was just a step slower than the broadcast.

As a result, Xu Jie still chose to attack, killing him without hesitation!

Is this guy a lunatic?

Is he planning to keep killing like this?
