Wang Haixuan's Killing Intent

"Damn it!"

With a bang, Wang Haixuan slammed his fist into a nearby tree trunk, gouging out a large hole as wood chips flew everywhere.

There were ten others beside him; it was clear he had already rendezvoused with Song Yalan and the others.

Wang Haixuan's face was twisted, his eyes filled with chilling intent.

This time, he had suffered a massive loss at the hands of Mu Qing. The herbs he had painstakingly gathered had all been snatched away—those were the very materials he had prepared to break through to the seventh stage of Blood Qi!

There were many injuries on Wang Haixuan's body, but fortunately, they were all minor and would not have any significant impact.

His reaction had been lightning-fast, and he had fled at the first opportunity; otherwise, if he had hesitated for even a moment longer, he likely would have been eliminated.

"Haixuan, are you alright?" Song Yalan wore a white dress, her face etched with worry as she released her Blood Spirit.

A phantom image of a jade-blue tree flickered, and strands of ghostly blue light flowed from her slender palms into Wang Haixuan's body.

Suddenly, the wounds on Wang Haixuan's body began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Wang Haixuan let out a long breath and said viciously, "I couldn't kill him during this Mock Exam, but once it ends, I will make sure he never gets to participate in the College Entrance Exam!"

A layer of baleful energy swirled in his eyes; he had clearly developed a genuine intent to kill.

Song Yalan was also shocked, her eyes filled with disbelief. She couldn't imagine how Mu Qing, who was only at the fifth stage of Blood Qi, had managed to defeat Wang Haixuan.

However, Mu Qing still can't compare to Wang Haixuan. Wang Haixuan has the Wang Family behind him. No matter how strong Mu Qing is, he can't be stronger than the Wang Family. Once the Mock Exam ends, Mu Qing might just end up dead! Song Yalan comforted herself this way to prove that choosing Wang Haixuan was the right decision.

"Young Master Wang, it seems you've run into some trouble."

Just then, a figure walked up to Wang Haixuan. He was dressed in clean, neat white clothes, a faint smile hanging on his handsome face.

"Liu Tianyu!"

Wang Haixuan's face darkened as he spat out the newcomer's name.

This person was none other than the strongest individual currently on Lake Heart Island, Liu Tianyu!

Liu Tianyu glanced curiously at the rapidly healing wounds on Wang Haixuan before his gaze landed on Song Yalan.

"I didn't expect your girlfriend's Blood Spirit to have such a unique ability. It's truly rare!" Liu Tianyu said with a smile.

Wang Haixuan's expression remained sour as he snapped, "Did you come here just to mock me?"

"I know you were defeated by Mu Qing and his group. According to the information I've received, Mu Qing's group has also crushed several teams from my North Campus, causing them to be eliminated."

The smile on Liu Tianyu's face vanished, replaced by a cold, sinister look.

He said, "Those teams were my important cannon fodder. Mu Qing and his group are unforgivable! And those two women, Ji Jia and Yang Shanshan—I want them!"

At the same time, a look of intense, burning possessiveness flickered in his eyes.

"Therefore, I need your help!" Liu Tianyu stated his purpose. He said, "I can help you break through to the seventh stage of Blood Qi. There is only one condition: when we confront the Ape Nest, if Mu Qing and his group appear to cause trouble, you will be the one to deal with them!"

After learning that Mu Qing's group was lurking in the shadows, Liu Tianyu had begun to plot. An herb located in the deepest part of the Ape Nest could allow him to break through to the eighth stage of Blood Qi, so he was determined to obtain it.

To deal with Mu Qing and his group and avoid any accidents, he had sought out Wang Haixuan to offer him resources for his breakthrough to the seventh stage.

He had led the North Campus to hunt down several small beast herds and had obtained enough medicinal materials to fully support Wang Haixuan's breakthrough.

"What do you say? As long as you nod and agree to deal with Mu Qing and his group, I will give you the precious herbs to help you break through!" Liu Tianyu said with a smile.

Wang Haixuan pondered for a moment, then nodded fiercely, his eyes flashing with a vicious glint as he said, "I agree!"

"Hahaha! Good! In a while, I will have someone send the herbs over. Don't forget, we are launching our offensive on the Ape Nest this noon."

Liu Tianyu laughed loudly, his burning gaze lingering on Song Yalan's curvaceous figure before he finally took his leave.

Wang Haixuan didn't pay any mind; his heart was now filled only with the desire to kill Mu Qing!

Elsewhere on Lake Heart Island, Mu Qing and his group were sitting cross-legged under a giant tree, recovering their Origin Force.

At this moment, Mu Qing took out five herbs. Their leaves were crystal clear and completely transparent, and the main stems emitted a glow, appearing quite miraculous.

Mu Qing looked at the herbs in his hand, feeling the rich power contained within them, and his face lit up with joy.

Five herbs should be enough for him to break through to the sixth stage of Blood Qi.

Without delay, Mu Qing swallowed one of the herbs. It melted the moment it touched his tongue, and a brilliant light flickered as it transformed into surging medicinal power, spreading throughout his limbs and bones.

Mu Qing hurriedly circulated his Blood Refining Technique while entering the Heaven and Earth Fusion State.

In this state, the Blood Refining Technique would run frantically, allowing him to rapidly refine the energy within the herbs.

Furthermore, the energy of heaven and earth would be involuntarily absorbed by his body, causing his cultivation to rise continuously.

Mu Qing sat cross-legged on the ground, eyes closed. Behind him, strands of purple mist swirled, and within them, a stalk of bamboo swayed, accompanied by flashes of lightning and thunder.

A powerful aura emanated from his body as the Purple Lightning Bamboo released dazzling electric light; he was refining that herb with the transparent leaves.

Not far away, Yang Shanshan suddenly looked at Mu Qing. A hint of curiosity appeared in her gem-like eyes, and a look of confusion crossed her delicate face.

"Why is this guy's Blood Spirit like this? Shouldn't it be the Mad Shark Blood Spirit?" she muttered to herself, her brows furrowed in confusion.

Mu Qing did not hear Yang Shanshan's words; otherwise, he would have been extremely surprised.

The Mad Shark Blood Spirit was what his father had mentioned, claiming it was the Blood Spirit he had awakened. It was supposed to be a Mad Shark, but for some unknown reason, he couldn't awaken it, which was why he had taken the Blood Spirit Potion and awakened the Purple Lightning Bamboo instead.

Yang Shanshan naturally knew nothing about the Blood Spirit Potion, and the confusion on her face only deepened.

"Could I have mistaken him for someone else? That can't be right. Isn't this guy from that family?" Yang Shanshan muttered to herself.

"Shanshan, what's wrong?" Ji Jia looked over and, seeing Yang Shanshan staring blankly at Mu Qing, couldn't help but ask.

"It's nothing..."

Surges of thick energy roiled within his body. In the Heaven and Earth Fusion State, Mu Qing's refining speed was incredibly fast; in just over ten minutes, he had completely refined one herb, boosting his cultivation.

Mu Qing kept his eyes closed as he took out a second herb and swallowed it.

A surging wave of energy erupted from within his body once more, but Mu Qing remained calm, refining it frantically.

The third one!

Ten minutes later, Mu Qing took out the third herb and swallowed it in one gulp. The surging energy filled his body like a storm.

The others watched Mu Qing, their expressions slightly startled.

They had all refined two herbs, but for those at the sixth stage of Blood Qi, the improvement in cultivation wasn't very significant; they would need much more energy to reach the seventh stage.

However, the power contained within these herbs was enough for someone at the fifth stage of Blood Qi to break through after just two.

Seeing Mu Qing swallowing the third herb without a moment's rest, the others also wore strange expressions. They realized that the energy Mu Qing required for his breakthrough seemed to exceed their imagination.

"Could it be because Mu Qing only just broke through to the fifth stage of Blood Qi, so he needs a much larger amount of energy?" Ling Fei said with some suspicion, though he wasn't entirely certain.

"Only just broke through to the fifth stage of Blood Qi? Is it true that Mu Qing broke through just these past few days?" Yang Shanshan asked, feeling surprised upon hearing this.

Because the Thunderstorm Fist that Mu Qing had displayed earlier didn't look at all like something someone who had broken through just a few days ago could execute.

"Although it's unbelievable, I can guarantee that Mu Qing did indeed break through to the fifth stage of Blood Qi within the last few days," Ling Fei nodded.

Everyone was shocked.

If he only broke through to the fifth stage of Blood Qi in the last few days, didn't that mean Mu Qing had cultivated the Thunderstorm Fist to the fourth level in just a few short days!

"My god! What terrifying comprehension!" Ji Jia's pretty face was filled with shock, her rosy lips slightly parted.

Yang Shanshan tilted her head and muttered again, "Does this big pervert have any connection to that family or not?"

Her voice was very low, audible only to herself.

Jiang Yuanjie also spoke up, agreeing with Ling Fei's assessment.

As the head of the News Department, he was very well-informed and knew for a fact that Mu Qing had indeed broken through to the fifth stage of Blood Qi only recently.

"He's swallowing the fourth one!" Yang Shanshan suddenly cried out.

The group jolted and looked over, only to see that Mu Qing had indeed taken out a fourth herb and swallowed it.

The surging energy contained within his body was so intense that even those around him, like Ji Jia, could feel it.

They even noticed that Mu Qing's body was slightly swollen, as if it were struggling to contain so much energy.

Everyone worried whether Mu Qing might be blown apart by the sheer force of the surging energy.

In reality, at this moment, it wasn't just Ji Jia and the others; the school teachers stationed at the edge of Lake Heart Island had all turned their attention toward Mu Qing.

This Mock Exam was a good opportunity to observe the students' strength, and they would select some outstanding performers from it for focused cultivation.

"This Mu Qing, having only broken through to the fifth stage of Blood Qi a few days ago, is being a bit too ambitious trying to rely on herbs to reach the sixth stage," Lei Kai said, standing at the edge of Lake Heart Island while looking at a light screen on an instrument.

The screen displayed the footage of Mu Qing and the others.

High above Lake Heart Island, small satellites were orbiting, and for this period, everything happening on the island was known to them.

"The Touyuan Grass that Wang Haixuan found is a very precious herb. Logically, Mu Qing should have been able to break through after swallowing just two," Mu Qing's teacher said. He was also watching the screen, his brows furrowed in confusion.

"Perhaps this Mu Qing is a bit special. He cultivated the Thunderstorm Fist to the fourth level shortly after breaking through to the fifth stage; he clearly has his own secrets," Vice Principal Lin said.

"Let's list Mu Qing as a priority for observation," Lei Kai said suddenly, rubbing his chin.

Vice Principal Lin nodded as well, saying, "This Mu Qing's combat power is indeed impressive; he can contend with the sixth stage while only at the fifth stage of Blood Qi, and the others with him are also quite strong."

"Ji Xiangfeng, your daughter seems to be in this Mu Qing's team as well. They seem to be going to look for trouble with that Liu Tianyu; aren't you worried?" Lei Kai suddenly said to a middle-aged man.
