Strong Enough to Ambush People Too-Are We Supposed to Have Any Fun? No Martial Morality!
In the woods, figures flickered, and in a short while, the dull thud of flesh hitting the ground was heard. A figure flew out, covered in black frost, his face slightly distorted, and his teeth chattering.
Immediately afterwards, a white shadow flashed, bringing with it a sharp gust of wind.
"Stop!"
The young man who fell to the ground cried out in alarm, and then pulled out a blue Fire Crystal Card to shield himself.
After the blue Fire Crystal Card appeared, the white figure indeed stopped attacking, reached out and snatched it away, then stopped, revealing a handsome face.
He then took out his black Fire Crystal Card from his Storage Ring, held the black and blue cards together, and rubbed them together. As the light flashed, the numbers on the black card increased significantly again, while only a single number remained on the blue Fire Crystal Card: seven.
"Thank you so much for your kindness, senior. If you ever encounter any trouble in the future, feel free to come to me. Just for your selfless spirit, I will definitely help you!"
Xiao Yuan smiled and returned the Fire Crystal Card, which only had a guaranteed minimum of seven points left, to the unlucky senior in front of him.
"Then I should thank you?"
The old man on the ground grimaced in pain, and looking at the meager points left on his Fire Crystal Card, he couldn't help but huff and ask.
"Hehe."
Xiao Yuan didn't care about this. He smiled and shrugged before walking towards Xiao Yan and the others, who had also finished their battle.
"It's definitely faster to just rob them directly. This is already the fourth team. If we're lucky, another team will come, and we'll have a hundred Fire Energy in our cards. Hehe, not bad!"
Hu Jia said excitedly.
Wu Hao, standing to the side, also showed a hint of joy. After some investigation, they had confirmed that in the Inner Academy, Fire Energy was practically everything, the currency used to obtain all cultivation resources. Naturally, the more of this kind of thing, the better! Upon hearing this, the five figures lying on the ground inexplicably felt a little better.
It turns out we weren't the only ones who were unlucky!
No, that means these guys are actually robbing the senior students?
The senior students felt increasingly heavy-hearted. They had cultivated in the Inner Academy for a year, yet they were still inferior to the junior students in the Outer Academy. It was truly infuriating to compare themselves to others! "Let's go, let's go find the next group of targets."
Xiao Yuan smiled and then released the Listening to the Wind's Whisper again, probing the surroundings.
Meanwhile, in the vast forest, atop a giant tree, two old men sat cross-legged, their bodies motionless. A gentle breeze blew, yet their robes remained as still as steel. It was obvious that these two old men were no ordinary beings! At a certain moment, the two old men with their eyes closed slowly opened them, exchanged a glance, and both saw a hint of surprise and amusement in each other's eyes.
"Hehe, good, good. This year's freshmen are much more interesting than in previous years."
The old man in the gray robe was the first to speak, laughing.
"Those six little guys, are they the top five in this year's Selection Competition that Hu Qian mentioned? They are all quite strong and have great potential. No wonder they were able to defeat even the senior students from the Inner Academy."
Upon hearing this, the old man in the blue robe beside him nodded slightly and praised him.
"That young guy leading the group seems to be named Xiao Yuan. Very good, his strength and courage are both excellent. I like him!"
The gray-robed old man stroked his beard and chuckled, seemingly having observed Xiao Yuan and the others' every move from their conversation.
"Hehe, it's really quite good. In previous years, the students who ranked in the top five in the Selection Competition were all arrogant and unwilling to admit defeat to each other. In the end, they were defeated by the senior students of the Inner Academy. But this time, they are surprisingly united. But that's normal. All four of them are from the same family, and they are two couples. They even include a pair of brothers. Such a lineup is really hard to come by. This time, perhaps this team can bring some surprises."
The old man in the blue robe smiled.
"But it's too early to draw conclusions. This year's Black and White Fiend Challenge is a group of guys who came out of the arena. Their strength is not comparable to that of ordinary teams. If Xiao Yuan's team encounters them, it's hard to say who will win or lose," the gray-robed old man said with interest.
"Yeah, those guys are all veterans, with incredibly rich combat experience, and their teamwork is excellent. If they were to run into each other, things would get interesting!"
The old man in the blue robe chuckled softly, his voice surprisingly carrying a hint of anticipation.
Clearly, the elders had grown tired of the dull and tedious hunting competitions of previous years, and were naturally quite supportive of the opportunity to see something more interesting.
In the dense forest, five figures walked slowly on the withered branches and leaves, their footsteps making a soft rustling sound. On the chests of these five people, there was a badge with a tower-shaped design.
"Damn it, we're so unlucky! We haven't even encountered a single new team since we entered the forest! If this continues, we won't even get our prize money back for the hunting competition!" One of the five young men suddenly cursed.
"Stop arguing, keep searching. There are at least fifty freshmen, what's the rush?"
The leader frowned and reprimanded the young man.
"But we have fifty people! If someone else gets there first, our chances will be even fewer!"
The young man couldn't help but speak again.
"Gentlemen, are you looking for us?"
Just as the leading man was about to shout again, a soft laugh suddenly rang out not far ahead. The five senior students from the Inner Academy were startled and hurriedly looked up, only to find in astonishment that a group of freshmen, three men and three women, were smiling and watching them from a distance.
"Catch them!"
The astonishment on their faces was gradually replaced by ecstasy. The leading man shouted, and the five of them suddenly surrounded the group of new students not far away.
"The senior students in the Inner Academy are still so reckless!" Seeing the five people who actually rushed forward, Xiao Yuan's smile deepened, and he turned his head to the five people behind him and chuckled.
"Um."
The five people behind him responded in unison, and then six powerful auras erupted completely! Although Xiao Yu could not defeat them head-on, he could move around the battlefield and suddenly strike someone. In addition, the strength of Xiao Yuan and the other five was stronger than that of the senior students on the other side. Therefore, the battle was almost one-sided.
"Ha!"
The battle ended when Xiao Yuan's palm, wreathed in black mist, struck the chest of the senior student leader in front of him. This crushing defeat, completed in the blink of an eye, left the five senior students completely bewildered until they were defeated.
"Hehe, senior, I'll just say it bluntly. Take out the Fire Crystal Card. My cold energy is quite strong. You don't want any part of your body to be frozen stiff, do you?"
Xiao Yuan smiled and tried to persuade (or threaten) him.
Feeling the Icy Douqi eroding his chest and the impending loss of sensation, the senior student could only grit his teeth and obediently hand over his Fire Crystal Card.
"Great, hehe, thanks a lot."
Seeing this, Xiao Yuan smiled, and then, under the extremely pained look on his face, he directly deducted the Fire Energy from the Fire Crystal Card, leaving only seven days of basic living allowance.
Watching their Fire Energy being taken away, the senior students felt their hearts were bleeding. They had thought they could make a fortune this time, but they ended up losing everything, not even their underwear. This was truly... If they had known this year's freshmen were this crazy, they wouldn't have come!
"Alright, senior, please get some more sleep!"
Fire Energy energy, Xiao Yuan nodded with a kind smile. After returning the Fire Crystal Card to the old man, he snapped his fingers. Immediately afterward, black icy mist spread out, covering the old man's body. The extreme cold caused the old man's bodily functions to drop to a minimum, and he fainted on the spot.
"That feels good."
Looking at the number over 100 on the card, Xiao Yuan's lips curled into a smile, and then he looked at the other five people.
Their faces were also full of smiles, clearly showing that everyone was making a good profit under the win-win cooperation model!
"Let's go and lie in ambush. I sense other teams coming this way."
Xiao Yuan whispered something to Xiao Yan and the others not far away, then waved his hand and quickly darted into the dense forest, concealing his figure.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan and the others dispersed and hid in the dense forest, waiting to ambush their prey.
Six minutes later, the branches in the forest suddenly trembled, and then five shadows flashed out. When they appeared, they were stunned to see the five senior students from the Inner Academy lying on the ground in disarray after being knocked unconscious.
After exchanging bewildered glances, one of them cautiously stepped forward to investigate, then exclaimed in horror, "Holy crap, their Fire Energy stolen!"
Upon hearing this, the other four were immediately startled and quickly came over. After looking around, they exclaimed in surprise, "Good heavens, there are only seven days' worth of Fire Energy left! Who did this?"
"Why don't you just ask them?"
Upon hearing this, the leader squatted down, helped up a student who had fainted on the ground and whose body was ice-cold, and used his Dou Qi to expel the cold from his body.
"Such pure cold energy!"
He couldn't help but sigh.
To be able to cultivate such terrifying cold energy, the opponent's strength is probably no weaker than the leaders of the two teams from the Black White Fiends!
But then, his expression suddenly changed! Because the cold energy in the student's body had actually entered his body directly through his Dou Qi.
Swoosh! He quickly let go, took several steps back, and stared at his hand, which was already beginning to frost over. His pupils contracted! What an eerie chill!
"Captain, what's wrong!"
Seeing this, the team members on the side were also a little confused and asked in bewilderment.
"Damn it, is it really not Luo Hou and his men who did this?"
The leader, who was referred to as the captain, said with a rather gloomy expression.
"Luo Hou? That can't be right. The Inner Academy doesn't allow us senior students to engage in any form of infighting in this forest!"
The other team members also expressed some confusion upon hearing this.
Luo Hou is the captain of the White Fiends Team in the Black White Fiends. His strength has reached the Dou Ling level, making him the final boss of this Fire Energy Hunting Competition.
"But such terrifying cold energy is something that, apart from Luo Hou, I think no one else in the other teams could possibly possess!"
The leader squinted as he warded off the chill.
"Could there be a skilled fighter among the freshmen?"
Upon hearing this, the others exchanged glances, and then one of them asked somewhat uncertainly.
But as soon as he said that, he couldn't help but shake his head. How could that be? Someone who could make their opponents feel troubled would probably have to be a Dou Ling expert. A newcomer, Dou Ling? These two words combined were utterly impossible! However, the next moment, a gentle breeze blew by, and a white figure appeared before them without warning. Then, accompanied by a terrifying aura that was both intensely hot and slightly chilling, their expressions changed drastically! "Dou Ling expert?"
Sensing the terrifying aura emanating from the other party, the five senior students looked on incredulously and cried out in shock.
Immediately afterwards, a terrifying chill swept out, stinging their skin and completely scattering their formation.
Then, five more figures flew out from various parts of the forest, each heading towards a different target, hoping to take this opportunity to completely divide the battle and then use their formidable strength to defeat the senior students one by one!
However, this time, their plans almost failed, because the teamwork of this senior group far exceeded Xiao Yuan and his group's expectations. Even though Xiao Yuan launched a surprise attack in advance and tore apart the five-person formation, they still managed to quickly resist Xiao Yan and his group's attack with their excellent reactions and then regrouped.
Fortunately, Xiao Yuan was extremely fast and quick to react. In addition, he was in the state of Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations. Almost instantly, he arrived at the gathering point of the five people. Then, his body suddenly spun around, and his powerful Dou Qi condensed into black ice blades around him, which connected with each other to form a rotating Ice Blade Storm.
Mystic Ice Whirlwind Kill!
With the power of Dou Ling level, Xiao Yuan unleashed this Xuan -Mystic High-Rank Dou Technique, which he had already cultivated to the great perfection level. The momentum was immense, and the attack power was naturally beyond question. When the Xuan Bing Storm was fully formed, the five people had no time to turn back and avoid the attack of this Ice Blade Storm, and could only withstand it head-on.
Although it was a combined effort of five people, even so, given the vast difference in strength, they still couldn't completely withstand such a terrifying attack. Almost immediately, they suffered considerable injuries, spitting out blood mixed with black ice crystals and flying backward.
Xiao Yan and his companions followed up relentlessly, defeating them completely. They then divided up all their Fire Energy, skillfully knocked them unconscious, and left gracefully.
