On the rostrum, Jing Hongchen's face was ashen.
Terribly livid.
He held this sparring match for two purposes:
First, suppress Shrek's arrogance and let these proud people know how powerful Sun Moon Empire is.
Second, stimulate the fighting spirit of your students, let them learn from failures and work hard.
But now?
Suppress Shrek?
They were indeed suppressed, but they were slapped naked in the face by a fifteen-year-old boy!
In front of more than 10,000 teachers and students, the beating was loud!
And to stimulate students?
Look at those guys who bow their heads and remain silent. How many of them are motivated to fight?
More than that, it was clear that he had doubts about Soul Tool, and even lost confidence in himself!
Jing Hongchen suddenly stood up from his seat and turned around to face the students sitting in the audience behind him.
His eyes widened angrily and he shouted in a deep voice:
"Who--!"
"If he defeats Huo Yuhao, I will reward him with one hundred kilograms of Rare Metal!"
One hundred kilograms!
Rare Metal!
These words are like a huge stone thrown into a calm lake, causing countless ripples!
The eyes of many students instantly burst out with greedy light, and their breathing became rapid!
One hundred kilograms Rare Metal, what is that concept?
That is enough material for one Level 7 Soul Engineer to make more than ten top-level Soul Tool!
However.
When those eyes fell on the fifteen-year-old boy in the field, the greedy light quickly dimmed again.
No one moved.
No one dared to stand up and challenge.
Jing Hongchen's face became even more ugly. He pointed at the nearest Level 5 Soul Engineer:
"You!"
The Level 5 Soul Engineer was so frightened that he waved his hands repeatedly, shook his head desperately, and wished he could shrink into his seat.
Jing Hongchen points to another Level 6 Soul Engineer:
"You!"
The Level 6 Soul Engineer also lowered his head, not daring to look at him.
He pointed at seven or eight people one after another, but no one dared to answer.
Jing Hongchen's chest rose and fell violently, and he was almost exploded with anger!
He slapped the railing in front of him with his palm, and the hard metal railing was slightly bent!
"We Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy--"
He shouted angrily, "Are they all a bunch of chickens and dogs?!"
"One by one, they all look like this!"
The whole place was dead silent.
No one dared to speak, no one dared to breathe, no one even dared to raise his head.
In this suffocating silence.
A voice suddenly sounded from the aisle at the back of the stands:
"Master, I'm willing to give it a try!"
The sound was not loud, but it exploded over the dead Trial Grounds!
Whoa--!
Tens of thousands of eyes were all looking in that direction!
It was an aisle at the very back of the stands. It was dimly lit and no one would notice it at all.
At this moment.
A slender figure was standing there, walking forward slowly.
That's a young man.
He wore a simple Bronze Mask on his face, covering most of his face, revealing only a pair of deep eyes and gray-white hair.
His clothes are extremely simple, which is in sharp contrast to the Sun Moon students around him who are wearing exquisite school uniforms.
The most eye-catching thing is the badge on his chest.
Level 4 Soul Engineer.
Wow--!
A commotion suddenly broke out in the stands!
"Level 4 Soul Engineer?! Why is he just Level 4 Soul Engineer joining in the fun?!"
"That's right! Don't you dare to go up if you haven't seen those Level 6 Soul Engineer?!"
"Who is this person? Why haven't you seen him before? Is he a student of our academy?"
"Wear a mask and pretend to be a ghost, you can't sneak in, right?"
All kinds of comments came and went, with unabashed questioning and ridicule.
Jing Hongchen also saw the Level 4 Soul Engineer badge.
His brows wrinkled slightly, and a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
But soon, the disappointment was replaced by a complex light -
At least, someone dares to stand up.
At a time when everyone is bowing their heads in silence, at least this young man dares to stand up!
"Okay!"
Jing Hongchen shouted in a deep voice, his voice overwhelming all the discussions:
"If you win--"
He paused and said word by word:
"I'll reward you - double!"
Double!
Two hundred kilograms Rare Metal!
The whole place was in an uproar again!
I saw Long Zhanye walking step by step from the end of the auditorium to the arena.
His pace is slow and steady.
Although the crowd in front still had a lot of sarcasm in their mouths.
But under the cold gaze of Bronze Mask, he consciously gave way to a path.
No one stopped, and no one dared to stop.
The eyes of more than 10,000 people on the field.
At this moment, he didn't even look at Huo Yuhao, who had won thirty-three games in a row.
Instead, he followed the pace of Long Zhanye and watched him walk to the center of the field.
It felt like watching a person destined to create miracles.
Finally.
Long Zhanye stands opposite Huo Yuhao.
He slowly raised his right hand and pressed it on the Level 4 Soul Engineer badge on his chest. His voice was calm and clear:
"Long Zhanye, Level 4 Soul Engineer!"
As soon as this was said, the sarcasm on the field finally stopped.
Level 4 Soul Engineer.
At this time, the one who dares to stand up and challenge Huo Yuhao is actually just Level 4 Soul Engineer?
But I don't know why.
The moment this name was announced, many people had an inexplicable premonition in their hearts.
Maybe this person is really different.
Huo Yuhao's eyes narrowed slightly.
Long Zhanye?
Is it him?!
The name instantly flashed across his mind, instantly bringing him back to the memory of two years ago.
Shrek City, that young man who once fought against five of himself, one against five, but never lost at all!
Why is he here? Why is he in the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy?
"Shrek, Tang Sect, Huo Yuhao!"
Huo Yuhao suppressed the shock in his heart and also reported his name.
Referee Xuan Ziwen glanced at the two people, raised his right hand high, and then swung it down suddenly:
"The game begins--!"
However, the expected fierce collision did not happen immediately.
Neither of them moved.
They just stood there quietly, thirty meters apart, looking at each other.
But beneath the seemingly calm surface, a fierce confrontation that ordinary people cannot detect is going on.
Awesome confrontation!
The invisible aura is centered on the two of them, like two invisible tides, surging towards each other!
Huo Yuhao's momentum is like the cold wind on the ice sheet, biting and sharp.
However.
The moment this momentum comes into contact with Long Zhanye.
He unexpectedly found that he was completely at a disadvantage!
Long Zhanye stood there, not releasing any Soul Power wave, and not making any attack gesture.
He just stood quietly, as calm as a mountain.
But the aura emanating from him was cold, condensed, and as sharp as substance!
That kind of momentum is not simply confidence or fighting spirit.
It's something that's been honed from the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, with a strong scent of blood--
Killing intent!
That was the most domineering killing intent given to him by Divine Slaughter's Domain!
Huo Yuhao's aura comes into contact with it, just like the fragile ice encountering a hammer, it is easily broken through in an instant!
His biting coldness was so fragile in the face of Long Zhanye's murderous intent!
