Dragon Leaping to the Ninth Heaven
Neither of the two Master of Nurturing Life were peaceful; both were ruthless. As a result, one's Golden Crow Dharma Form exploded as soon as it appeared. The other, leisurely swinging his legs, disrespectfully entered the arena to watch the spectacle, and as a result... was "amputated."
"Ah..." A shrill scream rang out, but it came too late. The victims themselves hadn't expected that life was so fragile. They, who had come to "bully the weak," were the ones who ended up bleeding on the scene first.
Wang Xuan stood with his bow in hand, not paying much attention. Two Great Perfection Master of Nurturing Life dared to lecture him? If they dared to show themselves, he would shoot them to pieces!
The primordial spirit of a bird in the arena was terrified, fleeing across the vast world of the Bloody Arena, fearing it would be finished off with another arrow, which would surely annihilate it completely.
"Bird, fly slowly. I'm a soft-hearted person and never thought of killing." Wang Xuan said.
He really wanted to finish him off with an arrow, but then he remembered that this was Pingtian Academy, and he hadn't been there long. Was he really going to get five kills in a row? He'd probably become a scourge in the academy.
In his eyes, the Master of Nurturing Life posed no threat to him, so whether he killed him or not made no difference; he might as well leave everyone with the impression that he was kind-hearted.
"You..." On the edge of the battlefield, the person who had his limb "amputated" felt ambushed and was very indignant.
As a result, Wang Xuan drew his bow again. The man cried out and, enduring the excruciating pain, turned and fled from the edge of the Bloody Arena, fearing that his severely injured body would be pierced through the heart by an arrow.
Actually, there was no arrow on the bowstring this time, but when Wang Xuan let go, the violent vibration of the bowstring still triggered an overreaction from a certain bird.
Its spirit let out a miserable scream and plummeted straight down, becoming a true "bird startled by the mere twang of a bow," and eventually fainted.
Everyone was stunned. The challenge was fierce and swift, without any hesitation. Some people's "arrangements" had clearly gone wrong, and the so-called formidable characters were all defeated.
Meng Zelin immediately stood up and, from the distant flying vehicle, wanted to shout that the troublesome new student had used a powerful immortal artifact.
However, it seems there was no agreement this time that immortal artifacts could not be used.
"I have a celestial sword here, take it and kill him!" Kou Ping stood on a floating magical artifact, and a celestial sword flew out from her fair hand.
Someone took it, wielding the immortal weapon as they swooped down towards the Bloody Arena. A beam of immortal light streaked across the sky, the sword's radiance surged, and after slicing through the void, it rapidly spread downwards.
Wang Xuan stood still, drew out another Arrow Feather with flowing runes, and pulled back the Falling Immortal Bow. If properly prepared, this extraordinary treasure could kill a True Immortal at the Ninth Heaven level; its power was immense.
An Arrow Feather, carrying a blinding light, surged upwards like a mighty river, shattering the dazzling sword light that had sliced through the void with a deafening roar.
With a clang, the immortal sword... broke.
When the second arrow came, the man tried to dodge, but the Arrow Feather locked onto him and pursued him at lightning speed, shattering a series of Secret Treasures he had unleashed and piercing his left rib, causing half of his body to explode, turning the sky crimson.
At the same time, without a sound, another person appeared in the arena, shifting positions and approaching Wang Xuan's back like a ghost. The only person from the Upper Academy made a move.
Wang Xuan didn't look back, but charged forward, shooting an arrow with his backhand. With a shattering sound, a powerful treasure belonging to the Upper Academy disciple was torn to pieces, leaving him covered in blood and his right arm with exposed bone.
But he still caught up, after all, Wang Xuan was behind him, not giving his opponent a chance to draw his bow.
His face was blown apart and bleeding, and the cold smile on his face looked somewhat ferocious. His right hand was glowing with light as he reached out to grab Wang Xuan's skull.
The disciples of the Upper Academy are near-immortal beings who should have become immortals long ago. Their strength is extremely powerful, and even immortal mist rises from them. Calling them immortals would be a stretch.
"Brother Qin!" someone familiar with him exclaimed.
Many people believe that new students are about to be forced to kneel. Being approached by a disciple of the Upper Academy who is close to immortality is unlikely to end well. Many people empathize with this feeling, as if their skulls are about to be ripped open.
Wang Xuan turned around and used his large bow to parry.
The opponent's arm swung like a venomous snake, passing through the space inside the large bow and bowstring, still trying to crush his skull, leaving behind an afterimage; the movement was too fast.
However, with a soft "plop," Wang Xuan's movements were equally absurdly fast. He used the bowstring to tighten around the other's wrist, and with a "plop," severed it completely.
"Boom!"
At the same time, Wang Xuan struck out with his other hand, piercing through the opponent's various magical lights, breaking through the Body Protection Light Screen, and hitting his head.
That head rotted away like a watermelon.
The disciples of the Upper Academy were unable to dodge!
A primordial spirit soared into the sky, its gaze filled with hostility and icy coldness, and rushed towards the edge of the arena.
"Although I'm soft-hearted, you're going to assassinate me this time, and I don't want to be a pushover." As Wang Xuan spoke, he had already drawn his bow again.
With a soft "poof," the celestial arrow, carrying overwhelming divine light, soared into the sky, piercing through the Primordial Spirit Penetrates and shattering it into pieces. The man was utterly dead.
The area outside was completely silent. Everyone felt a chill run down their spines as a near-immortal disciple of the Upper Academy was killed.
The Black-faced God felt a chill run down his spine. He was somewhat relieved that he had been able to Sit and Discuss Dao in the study last time. If he had come here, he might have been reduced to dust.
Meng Zelin was incredulous. The disciples of the Upper Academy had closed in on him, yet he had failed and was killed instead.
With a bang, Kou Ping's fair hand snapped a crystal bracelet, and she rode away on her floating magical artifact.
At this moment, everyone realized that even without any magical artifacts, the new students in the arena were still very strong and capable of advancing to the Upper Academy.
"The Six Tribulations of Thunder Fire Method, is it really that amazing? He survived five tribulations, and his Essence of Life has been enhanced, which is already quite remarkable. It's incredible."
"No wonder the Nine Transformations of Ascension are both loved and feared by many. As one of the most precious secret manuals in the academy, this path makes people want to rush towards it like moths to a flame."
This battle is pretty much a foregone conclusion. Even the disciples of the Upper Academy have been defeated and killed by the freshmen. The last person left will not go to his death unless he is stupid enough.
I surrender!
The last man shouted from a distance, not daring to approach the Bloody Arena, fearing that the rebellious freshman would break the Rules and shoot him from outside the arena.
Bloodstains were left on the Bloody Arena, the bright red color striking. Wang Xuan said nothing and turned to leave.
Thus, all those who had previously vowed to teach him a lesson were defeated, and even a disciple of the Upper Academy lost his life, leaving the scene in shock.
Su Tong, Ling Xuan, Qi Sheng, Mao Lin, and others from Haichuan Star were all somewhat stunned. Was the Six Tribulations of Thunder Fire Method really that heaven-defying? They were all tempted.
"Brother Qin..."
Wang Xuan stopped and quickly tried to calm them down, telling them not to get carried away. Almost everyone who trained like this died; at least all the sages of Haichuan Star over the past two thousand years have failed.
"I was truly blind. Brother Qin is a late bloomer. With the blessing of the Six Tribulations of Thunder Fire Method, he is destined to transform into a dragon and ascend to the Ninth Heaven!" Su Tong exclaimed.
Back then, he thought the Qin Cheng brothers were just as good as him, but now that they've come to the highest academy in this star field, they've become geniuses who can even challenge the Upper Academy.
"Niu Ben, someone has emerged from our Lower Academy. He beat Black-faced God, Meng Zelin, and some self-important senior students so badly that they can't even lift their heads."
"They really let him bully the seniors." Even some notorious senior students were speechless, but no one dared to challenge them anymore.
What a joke! All the disciples of the Upper Academy were killed by him.
Two days later, news spread through the academy that Qin Cheng had been added as a disciple of the Upper Academy, sparking heated discussions. However, it was also expected, as he was qualified and capable of entering.
Wang Xuan was a little reluctant. He was used to living in room 2201 of the Ascension Tower in District 19. If he went to the Upper Academy, would he be allowed to see "Nine Transformations of Ascension"? Would he be allowed to browse through "The Primordial Spirit Atlas" for free?
He was told that the discount would be larger, but it wouldn't be possible to show it to him for free.
Disciples of the Upper Academy have one opportunity each year to enter the inner dojo of Ascension Cliff, where the Daoist essence left by those who have transcended tribulations throughout history is present, and they can cultivate there for three days.
Students of the Upper Academy have the opportunity to enter the Celestial Realm once every three years, led by senior members of the academy, for a ten-day journey.
Outstanding disciples of the Upper Academy may enter the academy's dojo in the primordial chaos outside the heavens to seek guidance on difficult questions.
The people in charge told him about the various privileges and benefits that disciples of the Upper Academy could enjoy.
Wang Xuan readily agreed, maintaining a low profile as always. Making a fuss or showing reluctance would only invite trouble.
At the very least, after some time, he will need to use the benefits of being a disciple of the Upper Academy, because he wants to go through the Ascension Cliff to enter the Immortal Realm and undergo a tribulation.
He had a feeling that he was about to break through his Ascension to Immortality. He knew very well that his tribulation was far more terrifying than others and did not want to be noticed.
If he were to leave the academy to undergo his tribulation without a reason, he feared he would be followed. Even if he managed to shake them off and enter the starry sky, the commotion would likely be noticed by outsiders.
Five months later, Wang Xuan applied to enter the Ascension Cliff for seclusion, a year after he entered the academy.
At this point, he had been in this universe for four years.
He became an immortal 177 years after the Supernatural Finale in the Mother Universe. After accumulating experience for 6 years, he risked his life to enter this Supernatural Great Universe.
Ten years have passed, and he is about to reach the second level of ascension. This kind of cultivation process is very intense, and it is considered a very terrifying speed for all the immortals.
On that day, Wang Xuan quietly left his secluded cultivation spot at Ascension Cliff and entered the True Immortal Realm, finding an extremely remote area to undergo his great tribulation.
"Something's different. A different world, a different time and space, a different feeling. I'll try going into the chaos next time," he murmured.
Boundless lightning poured down, engulfing the entire sky. Everywhere was filled with divine light, and within the lightning were landscapes, terrifying yet realistic creatures, lightning, mountains, and so on.
"Who is undergoing tribulation? This is too grand. Is it someone at the eighth level of True Immortal, or is it an old monster at the Ninth Heaven Perfection breaking through?"
When the immortal beings discovered this, they trembled with fear and dared not approach. They hid in the distance with awe and eventually fled, afraid that such spying would anger the other party.
This catastrophe lasted a long time; the mountains below were flattened, the ground sank, and the area was completely destroyed, leaving behind a vast abyss.
Long after the heavenly tribulation ended, wisps of lightning still emerged from the ground where the tribulation had ended.
Wang Xuan returned to the Real World and calmly emerged from seclusion, only to find that the first person waiting for him was the ordinary-looking young man with whom he had shared a drink in the bar.
"You're about to undergo the final tribulation of the Six Tribulations of Thunder Fire Method, aren't you? Shouldn't you be ascending to immortality by now?" he asked with a smile.
"Yes." Wang Xuan nodded.
The young man said, "In the Master of Nurturing Life Domain, you have definitely broken through the limits. May I ask if you have ever broken through the limits twice?"
Wang Xuan didn't speak, but looked at him calmly.
"You have a calm mind, so it seems you will definitely break through the limit a second time. If you can break through the limit a third time, you will have the chance to become a true dragon in the sky." The young man looked at him.
"Those things from before are nothing. Go and undergo your tribulation to become an immortal. In any case, I'll guide you into a completely new realm. Only those who break through their limits a second time are qualified to join and gain a preliminary understanding of this universe, some of the essential aspects of this Supernatural Great World." The young man finished speaking and turned to leave.
