Ning Feiyan's Ten Absolute Needle Technique was not only a secret healing art, but also a top-tier concealed weapon technique. Her Ten Absolute Steel Needles contained true qi; as long as they struck a major acupoint, they could sever the flow of blood and true qi, leaving a person numb and unable to move.

Ning Feiyan's concealed weapon technique was exceptionally brilliant, and her timing was equally tricky. In an instant, ten steel needles struck the major acupoints on Yang Lie's body, only to be bounced away.

Ning Feiyan's pretty face abruptly changed. "Horizontal Training Martial Arts!"

The Ten Absolute Needle Technique was an incomparably exquisite concealed weapon technique, especially adept at breaking all kinds of protective true qi. Yet concealed weapons like these were most heavily countered by Horizontal Training Martial Arts. If the steel needles could not even pierce the skin, then blocking the flow of blood and true qi was naturally out of the question.

Yang Lie tapped the ground and lunged straight at Ning Feiyan like a great serpent.

"I surrender!!"

Ning Feiyan's expression changed, and she immediately took out her electronic token to surrender. Her needle technique was superb, but her close-combat ability was extremely weak. Once Yang Lie got close, one punch would leave her sprawled on the ground.

"I surrender!!"

Almost at the same time, Lu Fenfang had the Fire Strength within her body detonated by Fang Lingxiu's sword. Her sword flew from her hand, and she cried out unwillingly.

To deal with a true genius like Fang Lingxiu, at least four or five people had to join forces. Lu Fenfang alone simply could not withstand her blade.

"Attack!!"

A trace of regret flashed through Zhen Yuqiang's eyes. He shouted sharply and abruptly accelerated. He had originally planned to wait until Fang Lingxiu and Yang Lie fought Lu Fenfang's group of five to mutual ruin before making his move. He had never expected Lu Fenfang's group to be so weak, defeated so easily by Yang Lie and Fang Lingxiu.

Yang Lie shouted, "Take care of Zhang Hua first, then we'll deal with them!! Just keep going forward. Leave the rear to me!!"

The five members of Zhen Yuqiang's group were far slower than Yang Lie and Fang Lingxiu. Fang Lingxiu was, after all, a genius at the eighth level of the Essence Solidification Realm who had cultivated all kinds of Earth Grade Martial Skills. Meanwhile, Yang Lie contained the power of an Essence Solidification Realm Blood Clan renowned throughout the world for speed, as well as the power of numerous vicious beasts.

Fang Lingxiu tapped the ground and used her movement technique. Like a beautiful Vermilion Bird riding faint flames, she swooped toward Zhang Hua's location.

Zhang Hua's two attacks had already exposed his position.

Yang Lie flickered through the air, closely following at Fang Lingxiu's side.

"Shen He!" Zhen Yuqiang shouted.

Beside Zhen Yuqiang, a plain-looking youth's eyes flashed coldly. He activated his true qi and flicked his hand, sending a throwing knife shooting toward Fang Lingxiu like lightning.

Whoosh!!

An arrow flew in from afar almost instantly, shooting toward Fang Lingxiu.

Yang Lie slapped out with his hand. His right hand flashed like lightning, knocking away the throwing knife while he remained close beside Fang Lingxiu.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Zhang Hua fired two more arrows in succession, but Fang Lingxiu, fully focused, knocked both aside with her sword.

Shen He likewise threw two more flying knives, but Yang Lie blocked each of them.

"I surrender!!"

When Zhang Hua saw Fang Lingxiu appear before him, a trace of unwillingness flashed through his eyes, and he chose to surrender. His close-combat strength was not weak, but he was nowhere near capable of contending with an expert of Fang Lingxiu's level.

"Can't we coexist peacefully?"

Zhen Yuqiang looked solemnly at Yang Lie and Fang Lingxiu, who had turned around with malicious expressions. Their group of five had no confidence in dealing with the two of them.

"Of course not! So you can go back and keep joining forces with others against us? Attack!"

Yang Lie laughed softly, tapped the ground, and charged at Zhen Yuqiang's group of five with the domineering force of a tank.

Fang Lingxiu followed closely at Yang Lie's side and charged forward as well.

"Da Shan, stop Yang Lie!! Hold him off for three minutes!!"

Zhen Yuqiang shouted sharply and unleashed the Mystic Grade sword technique, Thirteen Swords of Gentle Breeze. His sword light was like a gentle breeze, piercing toward Fang Lingxiu from tricky angles.

Shen He held a flying knife, his gaze fixed on Fang Lingxiu's vital points without releasing it. Yet it gave her an immense sense of danger and diverted much of her attention.

Fang Lingxiu's strength lay in the intricacy of her Vermillion Bird Swordplay and the terrifying Fire Strength of her Vermillion Bird True Qi. Once that terrifying Fire Strength exploded, even experts of the same realm could not withstand it. However, her defense was far inferior to Yang Lie's, and even inferior to experts of the same realm who cultivated External Training Martial Arts.

The other two, one wielding a spear and the other a saber, attacked Fang Lingxiu.

Zhen Yuqiang's group of four joined forces and temporarily suppressed Fang Lingxiu.

Da Shan was a high school student over two meters tall, with knotted muscles and a face full of fierce flesh. His main cultivation was the Mystic Grade Horizontal Training Martial Art, Golden Bell Shield. He possessed cultivation at the third level of the Essence Solidification Realm and was also the foremost tank in Zhen Yuqiang's team.

"Don't even think about getting past me!!"

Da Shan stood directly in Yang Lie's path and fiercely slammed a huge shield toward him.

"Get lost!!"

Yang Lie's true qi boiled throughout his body as he unleashed a vicious Snake Fang Thrust against Da Shan's massive refined-steel shield.

Clang!!

With a terrifying boom, Da Shan's huge refined-steel shield caved in. He was sent flying backward as though struck by a speeding heavy truck, crashing to the ground and coughing up a mouthful of blood. He had suffered light injuries.

Yang Lie tapped the ground and appeared before Shen He like a ghost.

"I surrender!!"

Shen He's face changed abruptly, and he decisively took out his token to surrender.

Even an expert like Da Shan, who specialized in External Training Martial Arts such as the Golden Bell Shield, could not block a single strike from Yang Lie. Someone like Shen He, who specialized in throwing knives, had even less chance of withstanding one of Yang Lie's punches.

"Again! I haven't lost yet!!"

Da Shan coughed up another mouthful of blood and roared. He forcibly rose from the ground, holding his huge shield as he charged toward Yang Lie. The shield in his hand had absorbed most of Yang Lie's force, and with his Golden Bell Shield granting him astonishing defense, he had only suffered a minor injury.

Clang!!

Yang Lie kicked Da Shan's shield, unleashing an incomparably terrifying force that sent Da Shan and his shield flying more than ten meters away.

"I surrender!!"

Seeing Shen He surrender and Da Shan kicked away by Yang Lie, Zhen Yuqiang decisively surrendered as well.

"I surrender!"

A trace of unwillingness flashed through the other two students' eyes, but they also chose to surrender.

Although the Zhao Family had prepared an exceptionally comprehensive medical system, and most injuries could be healed as long as one did not die, they were still unwilling to spend several months bedridden.

Zhen Yuqiang and the others were all second-year high school students. Once school began, they would enter their final year and start preparing for the college entrance examination. Naturally, they could not risk their lives over a mere competition.

Only during the college entrance examination would those students fight desperately without regard for anything else, because it represented a change in their fate. The resources of ordinary universities and First-Rate University were completely different.

"Da Shan, surrender quickly!"

Zhen Yuqiang looked at Da Shan, who was continuously coughing up blood yet still forcing himself to stand, and shouted loudly.

"I surrender!"

Da Shan shot Yang Lie an unwilling look, then directly surrendered and collapsed limply to the ground.
