Successfully killed Wu Jun (Talent Multiplier: 1), plundering 46 years of usable lifespan! Successfully killed Li Han (Talent Multiplier: 1), plundering 70 years of usable lifespan! Successfully killed Zheng Yu (Talent Multiplier: 1), plundering 66 years of usable lifespan!
Over the following period, Xu Jie fought six consecutive battles, killing six fourth-year students in a row and plundering a total of three hundred years of lifespan.
The facts proved that in the High Martial World, as cruel as raising venomous insects in a jar, weaklings were still a minority.
The next six students had known full well that they would die, yet they still stepped onto the stage!
After all, true weaklings and cowards could not make it onto the rankings at all. They would have been killed or crippled during the practical combat test.
The remaining students were almost all elites, or people with unwavering minds!
Throughout the entire process, Xu Jie had only swung his saber six times, slaying six people!
And his number of Blood Movings was steadily increasing as well!
After ten years of bitter cultivation, relying on your great perseverance, you finally completed your sixth Blood Moving! Advanced Stance Art · Blood Burning Art (Mastery): Time reached the seventieth year. One night, as usual, you prepared for your final Blood Burning cultivation session. Yet your blood suddenly began to boil, like a mad dragon surging endlessly forward. You knew that you had finally completed your seventh Blood Moving. A hundred years passed in the blink of an eye, like a white colt flashing past a crack. Since your seventh Blood Moving, you had persisted in bitter cultivation for a hundred years and successfully completed your eighth Blood Moving. The final Blood Moving! It was also the limit to which the human body's blood could be developed. One hundred and twenty years passed, and you naturally completed your ninth Blood Moving. This time, there was none of the boiling blood from the previous eight times—only a tranquil, trickling flow like still water. Your blood had been refined to the utmost extreme, like the deep abyssal pools of the Nine Netherworlds: mysterious and heavy! Progress until next draw (487/500)!
Nine Blood Movings!
Before he knew it, Xu Jie's blood had stopped boiling, becoming even more restrained and tranquil than before.
He no longer needed to deliberately suppress his boiling blood. At that moment, even if Xu Jie erupted with his full strength, few would be able to tell just what level his power of blood and qi had reached.
This was the characteristic of the ninth Blood Moving!
Beneath its stillness lay destructive power, as though with a single movement, he could effortlessly destroy any enemy.
The tenth ranking battle.
This opponent was different from the previous ones at the ninth level of the Blood Moving Realm!
When Xu Jie's opponent appeared, many students in the audience sprang to their feet in shock.
"How could it be him?!"
"Gasp, Sun Yuan? Am I seeing this right?!"
"Wasn't he ranked twelfth? How did he become seventieth?"
"Could it be... Sun Yuan voluntarily traded rankings with the person in seventieth place?"
"You can do that?"
"As long as both sides agree, it is theoretically possible. It is just a little troublesome to arrange..."
"I never expected it! Sun Yuan became Xu Jie's final opponent. This battle will be worth watching!"
"Who is Sun Yuan? Is he very strong?"
"Heh, you lower-year students definitely do not know Sun Yuan. He has not returned to school for several months. It is said that he has been training outside the city, fighting demons and monsters. A few months ago, he was already at the peak of the Blood Moving Realm, a ranked powerhouse with Blood Moving Four Times. Now that he has returned, could he have completed his fifth Blood Moving?"
"Five Blood Movings? Then Senior Sun Yuan definitely has top-ten strength!"
On the other side, in the audience.
Xu Ming watched Sun Yuan, who was stepping onto the arena, with an icy expression.
This man was the trump card he had prepared against Xu Jie!
A Martial Arts University genius who had completed five Blood Movings and possessed abundant experience in deadly combat!
Xu Jie's growth rate was too fast. Even now, no one could see the depths of his strength, and even Xu Ming sensed a hint of threat.
However, Xu Jie would go no further than this!
Sun Yuan was not one of those stinking fish and rotten shrimp from before, unable even to test the depths of Xu Jie's strength.
Even if Sun Yuan were placed in Central Prefecture, he would still count as a minor genius, not some nobody.
Chu Mingyue, who had also recognized Sun Yuan's identity, revealed a trace of shock and worry.
It was as though she had realized something. She abruptly turned to look at the school leaders on the main platform.
This was a conspiracy aimed at Xu Jie!
They wanted to kill Xu Jie, not merely punish him!
How could Chu Mingyue possibly fail to see it by now?
If the school leaders had not manipulated things behind the scenes, a genius ranked twelfth like Sun Yuan could never have exchanged places with the student ranked seventieth.
Chu Mingyue wanted to directly stop this ranking battle and keep Xu Jie from walking into his death.
Besides, the school leaders had clearly promised her earlier that they would reduce Xu Jie's ranking battles by five.
Therefore, she was about to seize the time and confront the school leaders.
However, just as Chu Mingyue was about to stand, three head instructors of the Bone Forging Realm surrounded her.
A faint martial aura radiated from the three of them, locking onto Chu Mingyue and making her entire body stiffen.
One of the head instructors tilted his head at that moment and said indifferently to Chu Mingyue.
"Miss Chu, we do not wish to make a move against you. We hope you can understand our difficulties. Let us watch the battle here, shall we?"
"..."
Chu Mingyue did not answer. She merely snorted coldly.
She knew that no matter what she did, it was useless now.
For some reason, the school had become determined to kill Xu Jie, completely beyond her expectations.
Why had it come to this?
On the arena.
Sun Yuan, who had likewise walked up holding a saber, gave Xu Jie an indifferent glance.
Then he suddenly spoke in the calm tone of an upperclassman instructing a junior.
"Junior Xu Jie, your methods are far too vicious! This is not good. You must understand: those who kill will eventually be killed!"
"..."
Xu Jie turned a deaf ear to Sun Yuan's words. His expression was cold, his gaze indifferent, as though Sun Yuan did not exist in his eyes at all.
He was waiting, waiting for the four words "battle begins" to come from the loudspeaker!
"...Battle begins!"
In an instant, Xu Jie's figure vanished from where he stood!
It was still that seemingly casual saber strike, the most basic Demon Breaking Saber Technique, cleaving toward the solemn-faced Sun Yuan with an unstoppable might.
When an expert made a move, one could immediately glimpse the clues.
The instant Xu Jie vanished, every hair on Sun Yuan's body stood on end as he felt an unprecedentedly intense sense of danger.
If he could not block this strike, he would die!
Sun Yuan's scalp went numb. He had no time at all to consider why Xu Jie's strength was so terrifying.
At such a young age, merely a second-year student, Xu Jie actually possessed the power to slay him—a peak first-rank martial artist who had completed five Blood Movings.
And it seemed that this was still far from Xu Jie's limit...
Because Xu Jie was too fast, Sun Yuan could only instinctively raise his longsaber, trying to receive Xu Jie's slash.
