The Competition Ends

Lin Mu lay on the ground, secretly relieved.

He had been waiting, waiting for the Demon King to reveal a weakness.

Because he knew very well that with his strength, it was impossible for him to defeat the Demon King.

You should know that he is Eighth Order Demon, and Ancient Demon at that.

They are fundamentally different from ordinary Demon.

In the human world, that would be considered a top-tier Eighth-Order Martial Artist.

Those beings who reach the Eighth Order, or even those who can directly challenge a ninth-rank being.

In addition, its vital signs are so strong that it can almost overwhelm martial artists of the same cultivation level.

Under these circumstances, it was indeed impossible for Lin Mu to defeat his opponent.

Although he is at the Fourth Order, he has not yet become an invincible Fourth Order existence.

The world is vast, and there are many top geniuses.

Before entering the Divine Martial Academy, no one knows their own level.

Lin Mu slowly stood up, feeling a strong sense of depletion.

If it weren't for his Life Body holding him up, he would likely have collapsed to the ground.

His eyes turned toward the Demon King in front of him.

"Your strength is indeed impressive, but give me enough time, and I will surely surpass you in the future!" Lin Mu said slowly, his eyes filled with indifference.

Qin Bingfeng's eyes were icy cold. "Arrogant brat, you'll never know how big the gap is between you and me!"

"If you hadn't been suppressing your power, you would have been dead long ago!"

Lin Mu was not provoked by the other party and slowly said, "You are indeed very strong. Even if your Blood Qi is lower than mine without any restraints, I still cannot be your opponent!"

"But the real difference between us lies in age. I have only cultivated for three years so far, while you have lived for tens of thousands of years. If I were to live for more than ten thousand years, do you think you would be my match?"

The Demon King clenched his fists. Although he didn't want to admit it, he seemed unable to deny it.

Lin Mu is right.

The biggest difference between them is age.

It's no exaggeration to say that when the Demon King was born, Lin Mu's great-great-great-grandfather might not even have been born yet.

If Lin Mu were given the same amount of time, even the Demon King couldn't imagine how far this human would grow.

His eyes were fixed on Lin Mu, his voice filled with resentment.

"You can't kill my true form. Next time, I will definitely kill you!"

Lin Mu remained calm, completely disregarding him.

He knew very well that if the school caught Qin Bingfeng, they would definitely be able to find out something.

It's impossible to let his henchmen continue to operate indefinitely.

With a wave of his hand, Ji Xi sent Rune Seal landing on the Demon King's body. His figure shrank rapidly, transforming into Qin Bingfeng's appearance, before he collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

Ji Xi's gaze fell on Lin Mu, and he said calmly, "The Demon King does have many tricks up his sleeve. After all, he has been under the academy for hundreds of years, which has given him many spies. But don't worry, we will strengthen our defenses later to prevent him from attacking you again!"

"Yes!" Lin Mu nodded slightly in response.

Ji Xi turned around and left.

Those outside who witnessed this scene were also deeply moved.

The struggle between humans and Demon has never ceased.

Even with its true form imprisoned underground, the Demon King can still use such methods to hunt down human geniuses.

Although he will have to pay the price for this incident.

But if he succeeds, the human race will inevitably suffer losses.

Their opinion of Lin Mu has also risen significantly.

It's no exaggeration to say that Lin Mu almost has the qualifications to enter the Divine Martial Academy.

After all, his combat prowess and talent far surpass those of ordinary geniuses.

Time passed slowly, and because Lin Mu had won two matches, the Stone Platform now belonged to him.

The winner of this competition has already been determined.

With the winners and losers determined on the remaining Stone Platform, this Year-End Competition came to an end.

After such a long rest, Lin Mu's body had recovered a lot, and he slowly walked outside.

As the group returned to the square, many had injuries, and the total number of people was less than before.

Chen Youcai stood in front of everyone.

"This Year-End Competition has now concluded. Those who have stepped onto the Stone Platform will be qualified to participate in the Hundred Academy Competition!"

"In addition, they will receive various cultivation resources and one-on-one guidance in the coming period. It is hoped that others will also reflect on themselves and become stronger in the future..."

As Chen Youcai finished speaking, many people felt a pang of envy.

They knew very well that the students on those nine Stone Platform could not only fight in place of the Sacred Origin Martial School, but also obtain a great deal of cultivation resources.

It can lay a good foundation for the future.

However, they also knew how weak they were.

After all, many people try their best but still don't have the ability to climb to the top of the mountain.

Lin Mu walked towards his home.

He is very weak and needs to rest.

After returning to his residence, Lin Mu lay down on the bed and quickly fell asleep.

Lin Mu was unaware that Tang Daidai's figure had entered him shortly after he fell asleep.

Looking at the sleeping Lin Mu, she reached out to check on Lin Mu. After confirming that Lin Mu had no external injuries, she turned and left.

On the other side.

Ji Xi arrived at a dark and gloomy prison cell where Qin Bingfeng was being held.

His injuries were severe, but Ji Xi didn't want him to die, so he wouldn't.

This once arrogant genius is now a prisoner, his eyes filled with humiliation.

He knew very well what Ji Xi had done; in order to keep him alive, the other party had used a variety of drugs to barely reconnect his meridians.

But they had no intention of making him feel good.

It felt as if ants were tearing at the veins all over his body.

That was a side effect of the medication, which made him very uncomfortable.

More importantly, a part of the Demon King's consciousness is still imprisoned within his body.

It can be released whenever Ji Xi wants.

Ji Xi stared at Qin Bingfeng and said coldly, "Qin Bingfeng, as the young master of the Qin family, how could you do such a thing? Don't you feel even a little bit guilty?"

Qin Bingfeng sneered, "Guilt? My life has been perfectly arranged since birth. If I slack off even slightly, I'll be beaten and kicked. But not everyone in this world can become a genius!"

"My talent isn't that great. Forcing me to compete with the top geniuses in my family would be tantamount to killing me. What choice do I have?"

"Either I get beaten to death by my parents, or I cooperate with Demon to gain enough glory. Isn't that what they want anyway?"

Ji Xi breathed a sigh of relief. He knew very well that Qin Bingfeng's experience was a reflection of many large families.

Larger families understand even more clearly how important power is.

Therefore, they will spare no effort to cultivate their children in order to ensure the long-term prosperity of their family.

Behind the prosperity of many families lies the tragic childhood of countless young people.

Because this world has always been fair.

Only by giving can you possibly receive.

If Qin Bingfeng hadn't been born into the Qin family, but rather into an ordinary family, he might not have even been able to enter the gates of Sacred Origin Martial School, let alone become a top genius.

However, none of this was a reason for him to cooperate with the Demon.

"No one can choose their birth. You can only blame yourself. You wanted to be admired by others and be a superior person, so this is why you ended up like this!"

"Your Qin family is very large. Even if you don't want to cultivate, you can still live well in the Qin family. However, you will become an outcast and will never have your current status and position again!" Ji Xi said indifferently.

"What's the difference between that and killing me?" Qin Bingfeng said coldly.
