"Hey kid with the knife, stop! Didn't you see what's engraved on this?"
Li Haoyun patted the boulder next to him with his hand.
Ning Chuan looked over upon hearing the sound, his eyes immediately flashing.
Blocking the bridge?
That seems like a good idea.
It can attract traffic and earn points.
What are you thinking about?!
Li Haoyun stood with his gun in hand, coldly declaring, "This Heroic Spirit Bridge is temporarily under my control. All examinees, either hand over your cards and cross the bridge, or turn around and get lost!"
"You're very brave."
Ning Chuan's voice was icy cold as he drew his Silver Blood Saber from his waist.
"You, a Awakening Stage Nine candidate, actually dare to force your way in?!"
Li Haoyun, having ascertained Ning Chuan's strength, smirked.
Immediately, an idea came to him. Looking at the drone camera above, he laughed and said, "Brothers, we've got a job! Guess how long it will take me to get this kid to cry!"
Li Haoyun's live stream room immediately erupted in excitement.
It wasn't because of what he said.
Some viewers recognized Ning Chuan.
"A ruthless figure has arrived! The knife-wielding youth is the Eternal Night King Physique of Qingshan City!"
"Beat that old dog Li Haoyun to a pulp!"
"That's unlikely. King Physique killed a Second-Rank Martial Artist from the Wei Financial Group in just a few minutes. His strength should be at the high-level of the third rank, no match for Li Haoyun!"
"Damn it! Doesn't that mean he'll get away with it again!"
Many people are discussing it and feel it's a pity.
Li Haoyun's smile remained unchanged as he continued, "Next, I'll perform a magic trick for everyone. Without saying a word, I'll make this young man's face change drastically and his body stiffen!"
As he said this, Li Haoyun's body surged with Force, exuding a powerful aura.
However, to Li Haoyun's surprise, the boy with the knife seemed unaware of his strength, his expression remaining indifferent and unmoved.
"Hmm... it's not my fault, he must be expressionless!"
Li Haoyun said awkwardly.
opposite.
Ning Chuan flipped his left hand and took out a score card from his spatial ring.
Li Haoyun wanted to create some buzz to attract attention.
He was the same.
"Space storage device!"
Seeing Ning Chuan's actions, Li Haoyun's heart burned with urgency. He said, "It's too late to hand in your scorecard now. If you want to cross the river, you have to give me your weapon and your spatial ring!"
"Can..."
Ning Chuan said calmly, flicking his left hand to toss the score card into the air.
"As long as you can still stand before the card hits the ground!"
"Don't try to act tough with me..."
Li Haoyun sneered, but before he could finish speaking, he was drowned out by an extremely sharp whistling sound.
Sizzle!
A dazzling, cold light filled Li Haoyun's vision, striking like lightning.
It was dazzling, yet possessed a sharp, piercing quality.
Li Haoyun felt a chill run down his spine and quickly unleashed his Force, swinging his gun to block.
He couldn't understand how someone at the Awakening Stage Nine could unleash such a powerful strike!
clang!
Sparks flew everywhere, and the sound of metal clashing rang out.
Li Haoyun was, after all, Fourth-Rank Martial Artist, and possessed great strength, thus managing to block the attack in time.
Sizzle!
The next moment, before the echoes of the collision had even faded, the violent sound of tearing fabric rose again.
Ning Chuan's expression was icy cold as he swung his sword, the silver light dazzling.
This strike was even faster than the previous one.
Thirty-Six Torrential Rain Slashes!
"Haha, this is the Perfect Realm of the Thirty-Six Torrential Rain Slashes! Li Haoyun has kicked a hornet's nest!"
A viewer recognized the martial arts Ning Chuan was using and quickly left a comment.
However, this did not elicit any agreement from others.
Because, during the time he was typing, Ning Chuan had already unleashed more than twenty slashes, and the terrifying speed of his blade began to show. Li Haoyun had difficulty resisting and was completely at a disadvantage.
"We can't win at all, we have to run!"
Li Haoyun felt a heavy weight in his heart as he faced reality.
Heavy weapons like spears are inherently somewhat at a disadvantage against long, narrow swords that are designed for high-speed slashing.
Not to mention, the knife-wielding youth's strength far surpassed his.
Sizzle!
A spray of blood appeared.
Ning Chuan swung his Silver Blood Saber, slicing through the Force covering Li Haoyun's shoulder, leaving a bloody gash.
Li Haoyun was knocked back by the blow, but he seized the opportunity to use his movement technique to quickly run towards the other end of the Heroic Spirit Bridge.
During the journey, he didn't forget to explain to the drone, "Brothers, this is too tough, we can't crack it, I'm outta here!"
Many viewers rolled their eyes in anger.
They really wanted to see Li Haoyun get beaten up.
However, they also knew that Li Haoyun was swift and determined to run, and even Fifth-Grade Martial Artist would find it difficult to stop him.
"Who gave you permission to leave!"
Just then, a domineering yet indifferent voice rang out.
Swish!
Ning Chuan unleashed the Three Thousand Wind Shadows technique with astonishing speed. His figure was enveloped in a whirlwind, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared behind Li Haoyun, directly slashing out with his Silver Blood Saber.
"What kind of speed is that?!"
Li Haoyun's eyes changed drastically. Without turning around, he frantically gathered his Force behind his back and thrust out with his spear.
Sizzle!
Ning Chuan's Thirty-Six Torrential Rain Slashes had reached its twenty-third strike, terrifyingly fast, his blade flashing like lightning!
As Li Haoyun thrust his spear back, a bloody gash appeared on his back.
Swish!
Ning Chuan didn't stop. With the support of the Three Thousand Wind Shadows, he flashed and easily dodged Li Haoyun's spear thrust, arriving in front of him.
The Thirty-Six Torrential Rain Slashes, the Twenty-Fourth Slash!
Ning Chuan swung his battle blade diagonally, slashing towards Li Haoyun. A sharp sound of it cutting through the air was followed by a trail of dazzling silver light.
A look of terror appeared in Li Haoyun's eyes.
That strike was too fast.
He couldn't dodge it.
There wasn't even time to gather the Force to block it.
puff!
A dull thud, like flesh being pierced, rang out.
The Silver Blood Saber into Li Haoyun's right shoulder, and along its trajectory to his left abdomen, it was about to slice him diagonally in half!
Just then, the shield on the black wristwatch activated, and a light barrier popped out, blocking the Silver Blood Saber and preventing it from penetrating further.
boom!
The power contained within the Silver Blood Saber was unleashed in its entirety.
Li Haoyun, along with his protective shield, was sent flying backwards. With a thud, he crashed heavily onto a metal bridge and lay on the ground, unable to get up.
Ning Chuan's gaze remained calm; he did not pursue, holding the Silver Blood Saber horizontally with one hand.
Snap!
To the astonishment of tens of millions of viewers, the scorecard landed steadily on the blade, producing a crisp, melodious sound.
Li Haoyun, lying on the ground, witnessed this scene and was utterly horrified.
Ning Chuan did not defeat him simply.
The time spent in the battle.
The location where the battle ended.
Other aspects, etc.
Everything was within Ning Chuan's expectations.
He was like a puppet, cooperating with Ning Chuan to stage a dramatic battle.
Ning Chuan sheathed his sword, looked down at Li Haoyun, and said coldly, "Hand over your battle spear and spatial ring."
Upon hearing this, Li Haoyun's face fell.
He wasn't from a wealthy family.
A spatial ring, worth more than half of his net worth.
Ten years of hard work studying for the exam, only to be back to square one in one attempt!
Taking a deep breath, Li Haoyun forced himself to stop the pain in his heart and said, "Before I give you the thing, can you answer one question for me? Are you the Eternal Night King Physique?"
Ning Chuan nodded and said, "What, you want to cause me trouble later?"
"You are destined to become Knight, and perhaps even Divine General. How could I dare to presume!"
Li Haoyun chuckled awkwardly, quickly got up, and handed over the battle spear and spatial ring.
Ning Chuan investigated and was somewhat disappointed.
The storage space is only one cubic meter, which is even less than Feng Lingyi's spatial ring.
"Candidate Li Haoyun, you have been eliminated. Please leave Tianshui City immediately and proceed to the gathering point outside the city as instructed by your wristwatch!"
The black wristwatch emitted a cold, synthesized sound.
However, Li Haoyun did not leave.
Seeing Ning Chuan's indifferent gaze, he quickly explained, "This is my tenth attempt at the college entrance exam. I won't be able to take it again after this. I don't care if the Education Department punishes me arbitrarily."
At this point, Li Haoyun used his Force to transmit his voice, ensuring that only Ning Chuan could hear it.
"Your Excellency King Physique, how about we make a deal?"
"If you allow me to follow your livestream, I'll cooperate with your antics and help you attract viewers!"
"Among the professional candidates in the Donglin Region, I rank in the top three, so you don't need to worry about my professional skills."
"I know this approach will take away some of your audience."
"But after the college entrance exam, we'll split the broadcast fees I earn 50/50!"
"Your broadcasting fees are entirely yours!"
"How about it?"
Li Haoyun stared at Ning Chuan, his heart pounding with tension.
Having worked as a professional test-taker for ten years, he is very clear about the appeal of a super genius like Ning Chuan to the public.
Not to mention, he has Supreme Physique.
If handled properly, the broadcasting fees he receives can make up for most of the losses he incurred during the college entrance examination.
After a moment's thought, Ning Chuan nodded slightly, agreeing to the proposal.
On the one hand, Li Haoyun's words make some sense.
On the other hand, because he needs to maintain the image of the King Physique, there are some things he cannot do.
Having someone to back you up makes things much easier.
Buzz!
Ning Chuan's black wristwatch vibrated.
"Attention all candidates! The martial arts exam score rankings will be released in 10 hours. You can check your score using your wristwatch!"
Upon hearing this, Ning Chuan's eyes narrowed slightly.
Once the rankings are released, the competition among candidates will definitely become even more intense.
Li Haoyun smiled brightly and said, "In the northeast of Tianshui City, only the Heroic Spirit Bridge is a place to cross the river. If you block the bridgehead and collect tolls, you can definitely make a fortune, maybe even rank first!"
Ning Chuan shook his head and said indifferently, "I don't charge tolls!"
Their conversation caused a stir in their respective live streams.
"Whether I'm human or not is hard to say, but Li Haoyun is a real dog!"
" King Physique still stands tall with integrity, refusing to collude with him!"
"The dragon-slaying hero may not become the dragon himself!"
Numerous viewers engaged in heated discussions.
The Heroic Spirit Bridge.
Li Haoyun quickly replied, "In the college entrance examination arena, scores are paramount, and it's perfectly normal for the strong to bully the weak. There's nothing wrong with collecting tolls."
As he spoke, he transmitted his voice through his Force, anxiously saying, " King Physique, blocking the bridge and charging tolls will attract a lot of attention!"
Ning Chuan offered no explanation. He walked to the boulder at the bridgehead, brandished his spear, and erased the words Li Haoyun had previously carved.
Then, he took the gun and re-engraved the words.
For a moment, tens of millions of viewers were stunned.
There, eight striking characters were engraved on the boulder, their powerful strokes creating an imposing presence!
[ The Bridge of Heroic Spirits, forbidden to mortals]
