”It’s just a trial and I don’t want all of you to destroy this old manor of mine. Therefore, everyone will have to wear a Suppression Bracelet. There’s no need for you to execute those ultimate moves that exhaust a lot of elemental energy. Who is up first?”
Madam Ye’s tone was relaxed as her gaze swept across everyone.
Expressionless, Ai Hui stood in the arena while holding the Snow Cherry, looking like a statue that gave off an austere aura.
Xiao Shuren’s eyes lit up.
She had a deep impression of Chu Zhaoyang. Emotionless, decisive, calm and collected, always planning his next killing move. Auspicious was destroyed by him. If not for him, she definitely would not have led such an arduous life like this.
The current Chu Zhaoyang was exactly the same as the one from her memory.
The change in Chu Zhaoyang’s demeanour began from the moment Madam Ye announced the reward.
Xiao Shuren thought pensively. It seemed that only practical benefits could move Chu Zhaoyang.
Honestly speaking, she also did not expect Madam Ye to be so generous. She actually used a rare artifact like Star Reaper as a reward for such an ordinary competition.
Was this the might of a legitimate aristocratic family?
Xiao Shuren felt a cold shiver go down her spine.
A tall and sturdy teenager stepped out, ”I will be the first one.”
A delightful look appeared on Madam Ye’s face as she encouraged that teenager, ”Gui Hu, good job!”
Everyone began to cheer for that teenager.
”Ah Hu, come on!”
”Defeat him!
”Let him have a taste of your strength!”
...
The teenager grinned as a glint of battle fervor flashed across his eyes.
Among this group of young masters and mistresses, Gui Hu’s family background wasn’t really impressive. However, he was brave, aggressive, determined and resolute. He clearly understood how important this opportunity was and he had to make an all-out effort.
As Gui Hu spread his arms, all his muscles bulged out of his clothes. His fingers were like iron pincers, giving off a bright metallic lustre. Vigorous elemental energy flowed through his blood vessels. Blub blub blub. His blood vessels sounded like a monster swallowing its saliva. A violent and powerful aura was emitted from his body.
All the teenagers had their faces turned solemn as they silently trembled in fear.
Gui Hu’s body tempering had actually reached such a high level. His body had attained Silver Marrow Completion and was beginning to step into Golden Blood Completion.
Copper Skin, Iron Muscles, Steel Bones, Silver Marrow, Golden Blood.
When one attained Golden Blood Completion, it implied that his or her level of body tempering had been maxed out.
A look of approval appeared on Madam Ye’s face as well. The painstaking work that was needed to achieve such a high level of body tempering would make one flinch.
Such determination was hard to come by.
”Big Chu, come on!” Xiaobao suddenly yelled.
An awkward silence swept across the arena. No one expected Xiaobao to cheer for Chu Zhaoyang.
From the arena, Ai Hui waved to Xiaobao. He casually brandished the Snow Cherry in his right hand, looking as if he was stretching his joints.
Ai Hui remained expressionless. No one could tell what he was thinking.
”This fellow is indeed motivated by only wealth,” the old woman whispered to Madam Ye with a smile on her face, ”If Madam never took out the Star Reaper as a reward, this fellow would be thinking of ways to leave this place.”
”Being avaricious is not a weakness. As long as one is wise and just, it’s okay even if he or she is avaricious,” Madam Ye laughed involuntarily.
”Madam is right,” the old woman nodded her head, ”Now we don’t need to be worried that he won’t reveal his true skills. It’s a pity Karakorum Savant is not free, otherwise it would be much better to let her teach these kids instead.”
”Chu Zhaoyang is no different from her,” Madam Ye continued, ”Let him put up a good show for everyone.”
”Yes,” the old woman replied.
At this moment, Gui Hu bent his knees slightly and jumped straight for the arena. He flew twenty metres through the air and landed steadily in the arena. Just this move alone sent the crowd into an uproar. Everyone could clearly see that Gui Hu’s leap did not use any elemental energy at all. The leap depended solely on his physical strength. This showed how powerful his physical body was.
Viciousness was written all over Gui Hu’s face as his copper bell-like eyes stared at Ai Hui. Just as he revealed a sinister smile and was about to speak, Ai Hui suddenly asked, ”Are you ready?”
Gui Hu’s rhythm was disrupted and he froze. At this moment, Ai Hui struck out.
A streak of crimson sword light gleamed suddenly before Gui Hu.
Apparently, Gui Hu had underestimated Ai Hui’s degree of slyness. He could only cross his forearms and protect his face.
Unexpectedly, the sword gleam suddenly curved and pierced towards Gui Hu’s chest.
Gui Hu’s reaction was extremely fast. With one hand protecting his throat, he spread open the palm of his other hand and aimed for the sword gleam with lightning speed.
His palm was brimming with elemental energy, making it impenetrable.
He caught it!
Gui Hu was overjoyed. The strength of his palm was terrifyingly powerful. There was once he broke an enemy’s weapon with his bare hands. The moment he caught his enemy’s weapon, he would gain control over the tempo of the battle.
However, right now, he felt as if he had caught a mud fish that was slipping out of his hand.
A sharp and intense gush of chilliness suddenly blasted his body. Gui Hu’s heart tightened as if it was being frozen by the blast of chilliness.
The sword gleam was heading straight for his heart.
Gui Hu was shocked and enraged. He opened up his palm and tried to smack the body of the sword.
It was as if Ai Hui had expected Gui Hu’s attack. The crimson sword suddenly sprung up.
Bang!
A crisp explosion resounded through the air.
Together with his sword, Ai Hui plunged into the ground. His Snow Cherry was stuck in the ground, looking extremely pathetic.
”He’s not really that good!”
”That’s right, he dares to be our teacher with that kind of standard?”
