Xia Yuan took a deep breath. A faint glimmer flickered in his azure eyes as he formed hand seals with both hands:

"Cursed Technique Reversal, Blue."

"Cursed Technique Reversal, Red."

On either side of him hovered a deep-blue sphere of Blue energy and a crimson sphere of Red energy.

The violent energies emitted a high-frequency hum!

Xia Yuan's silver hair danced in the wind. He raised his hand in a snapping gesture, elegant as a dancer drawing a bowstring for their final curtain call, and slowly spoke a few words. "Hollow Technique..."

The instant the two spheres collided!

A hum rang out, making everyone in the arena shudder!

"Purple!"

It was as though time had skipped a frame. A beam of absolute "nothingness," mingled with space-warping black, gravitational azure, and repulsive crimson, spiraled together and roared forth!

The dark-purple energy sphere swept toward the three people frozen in place.

The alloy floor let out a piercing screech as a ravine was carved through it.

An SR was indeed an SR!

Just as Purple was about to hit him, the little boy sucked in a sharp breath and suddenly snapped awake.

He could no longer escape. All he could do was roar and thrust his hands forward, unleashing all his superpowers!

"Get...!"

"Back!!!"

Boom!!!

The two forces collided.

Superpowered Boy gritted his teeth and held on, his hands continuously being torn apart as blood sprayed everywhere.

Yet the purple energy sphere before him merely slowed slightly!

Superpowered Boy could only watch helplessly as the purple spiraling orb, carrying imaginary mass capable of annihilating everything, swallowed the three of them!

Even his desperate all-out attack could not shake it.

All he had managed was to delay it by a few seconds.

The destructive purple light swept past.

The three were annihilated into ashes, then revived in Han Guang's Contract Spirit space.

After that battle, Superpowered Boy was traumatized by the color purple.

From then on, whenever he saw purple, his entire body would tremble uncontrollably, fear written across his face...

However, after they died,

Hollow Technique "Purple" did not dissipate. Its remaining force struck the arena barrier without weakening in the slightest!

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle...!

Even the arena barrier designed to keep Contract Spirits from accidentally harming others was shattered by the impact.

The dark-purple energy sphere continued crashing into the other arenas along the same line. Defensive barriers shattered one after another as it slammed into Contract Spirits locked in chaotic battles!

For a moment, screams rang out one after another!

Bang...!

The spherical energy of Hollow Technique "Purple" pierced through the barriers of five more arenas in succession, wiping out every Contract Spirit on the arena grounds before slowly fading away!

Xia Yuan looked up and felt that he might have gone a little too far...

Did this count as deliberately damaging academy property?

Whatever. He could just say he had failed to control his strength. It definitely had not been intentional.

And his system reward bar had successfully reached 48%!

As the residual force faded away,

the entire venue fell silent enough to hear a pin drop.

Everyone stood dumbfounded, eyes wide and faces filled with shock!

After a long while,

the audience finally came back to their senses, and waves of exclamations erupted throughout the venue:

"Purple... what terrifying destructive power! Senior Han Guang's Contract Spirits are all dead!"

"God Yuan deliberately aimed at them! The Contract Spirits in the other five arenas were all killed by that purple attack!"

"He truly is a God of Slaughter. He's gone completely insane! Is this the combat power of an SSR? How powerful!"

"Is that guy invincible?"

"Domain Expansion, Unlimited Void, and Hollow Technique... Those skills are so cool!"

"Invincible crowd control paired with outrageous damage output. This is just too perfect..."

"..."

Mo Shiyu also stared blankly at the damaged arenas, the corner of her mouth twitching slightly.

"Xia Yuan!"

"You went too far!"

She was furious enough to want to bite Xia Yuan to death. Her wallet was about to take another massive hit. He clearly could have gone easier...

Han Guang looked even more incredulous, as though all strength had been drained from his body.

His Contract Spirit lineup, which he had taken such pride in, had been wiped out instantly by a single Contract Spirit from the other side?

In the spectator stands, Holy Light Knight's little mouth hung slightly open, unable to close...

Mo Cheng and the House Mo disciples had jumped to their feet in excitement. The stronger Xia Yuan was, the happier they were!

"Do you still think you'll win?"

The little Holy Light girl slumped in her chair and waved a hand. "I take back what I said. How am I supposed to fight that? There's no way to fight it..."

Meanwhile, the members of House Jiang all wore expressions as ugly as death.

They looked at Jiang Li with near-hatred in their eyes, practically wanting to paste the words "What kind of stupid thing did you do?" onto her forehead!

Jiang Li's mind had already crashed long ago. She had been out of it for quite a while...

She knew Xia Yuan was strong, but she had never expected him to be this strong!

She truly wanted to die now...

Gardenia Spiritmaster High School.

Luo Ziyan blinked her large eyes. Seeing that outrageous damage output, she was thoroughly astonished:

"This guy's pretty strong!"

A faint glimmer flashed in Demon Blade Princess's blood-red eyes. They were no longer as lifeless as before as she briefly said two words, "Very strong. Want fight."

Xia Yuan's strike had destroyed six arenas.

He turned around, smiling brightly as he looked toward the three remaining arenas behind him.

The Contract Spirits engaged in chaotic battles on those arenas had long since stopped fighting because of the terrifying commotion here. When they saw him looking over, they scrambled and rolled off the arenas in terror!

"Don't leave. I still want to play a little!"

His system reward bar was only 2% away from reaching 50%!

Just as Xia Yuan was about to move, the academy principal and teachers rushed out and immediately announced:

"I hereby announce that student Mo Shiyu... has successfully advanced and become the top seed of North Sichuan Spiritmaster Academy!"

They were both delighted and heartbroken over their facilities...

They were delighted because their academy had produced such a God of Slaughter Contract Spirit. He would surely shine in the national competition and bring fame to the academy!

But they were also genuinely afraid that Xia Yuan would demolish the remaining three Contract Spirit Arenas as well...

Mo Shiyu saw their concerns and immediately shouted:

"Xia Yuan, we've won! We're already first, so there's no need to fight anymore. Stop!"

Xia Yuan clicked his tongue, somewhat disappointed.

He had been so close...

But seeing the Contract Spirits who had practically been scared pissless, he knew that as long as he was there, they probably would not dare step onto the arena again.

Xia Yuan could only give up. He shoved his hands back into his pockets and jumped down from the arena.

"Chubby Yu, you still have spirit power, right? Let's go run some dungeons!"

"Huh? But we just finished competing..."

With a practiced motion, Xia Yuan grabbed Mo Shiyu by the back and carried her off like a doll toward the dungeon area.

Mo Shiyu: "..."

Being carried off in front of everyone—did she not have any dignity?!

But on second thought, forget it. With such a powerful Contract Spirit, what did she need dignity for...

The Contract Spirits watched Xia Yuan leave with the same fearful gaze they would use for a ghost or deity!

Listen to that...

Was that even something a human would say?

You just killed so many Contract Spirits and still weren't satisfied, and now you were going to farm dungeons?!

Only after Xia Yuan, that God of Slaughter, had left did the selection tournament resume and choose the remaining nine people.

Because of this livestream, the video of Xia Yuan's single strike punching through the defensive barriers of six Contract Spirit Arenas once again caused a sensation throughout the entire Spiritmaster community!

In a single competition, he had killed nearly several hundred Contract Spirits.

Although they could revive in the arenas, he had still genuinely killed them...

Chuanbei God of Slaughter had become his title, resounding throughout Great Xia's Spiritmaster high schools!

Everyone watched to see whether this God of Slaughter could maintain such near-invincible strength and disdainful arrogance after reaching the provincial competition!
