Originated from mountains and seas, life never ends

"Hua Wujian!"

The instructor from Starry Sky Royal Academy clenched his fist, just about to breathe a sigh of relief, when he noticed Hua Wujian's gaze and movements. His heart tightened, and he had an ominous premonition.

"No way... that guy, it can't be..." the instructor murmured, then grabbed a handful of hair, turned around angrily, and shouted, "Who on earth put that guy's name on the list?!"

The blue-haired girl behind him was staring intently at the snow-white figure on the projection screen. Startled by her instructor's angry roar, she leaned back lazily and spread her hands, saying, "I don't know, is it that guy Yuan Zhen?"

"That guy really... doesn't know his own limitations!"

"Teacher, why are you so nervous? Even if that guy knows Jade Stone's group, he wouldn't attack Senior Huang Li in front of so many people, would he? We're a team, after all." The girl was confused.

"Shimizu, you wouldn't understand." The blond boy chuckled, a mocking glint in his eyes. "Our mentor has a phobia of him..."

"Feng Yu! Stop giving me this nonsense... You bunch of brats are driving me crazy." Liu Feng's brows twitched, and he finally gave in, ran his fingers through his hair, pulling out a few more strands from his already thinning locks. "What are we going to do if we lose..."

"Anyway, it's not my fault," Feng Yu said cheerfully. "I didn't even play."

“It’s not my fault,” the icy beauty sitting behind Feng Yu suddenly said.

Looking at this group of living ancestors, Liu Feng felt an increasing pressure.

“…Mentor, here.” Yuan Qingshui looked at him for a while, then suddenly handed him a small jade bottle.

Liu Feng took it and casually held it to his nose to smell it. The fragrance filled the air, and his mood improved considerably: "What is this?"

Yuan Qingshui said mysteriously, "It's a hair growth pill made in our Yuan family."

Liu Feng: …

Liu Feng: "Get out! Get out! Get out!"

……

"……what do you want to say in the end?"

Qin Xiao and Hua Wujian stared at each other for a moment before silently looking away. But Hua Wujian persisted, the silk tip of his umbrella dangling in front of Qin Xiao's eyes. Finally, Qin Xiao could no longer bear it and turned his head away.

"I have nothing to say." Qingyi seemed to enjoy Qin Xiao's frustrated yet helpless look, and said with a smile, "But I know someone is about to get a beating."

Qin Xiao: ...

Qin Xiao looked at him silently.

Hua Wujian's smile vanished instantly when he saw the sudden change in Hua Wujian's gaze.

Qin Xiao: "Qingyi..."

The woman in green: "Get out."

Qin Xiao: "Listen to me—"

The woman in green: "I'm deaf."

Qin Xiao: "...Then how did you hear it?"

Qingyi: "I can read lips."

Qin Xiao: ...

Qin Xiao's brow twitched, forcing back something: "Qingyi—"

"My surname is Hua." Hua Wujian said expressionlessly.

Qin Xiao: ...

Qin Xiao rubbed his forehead and took a deep breath: "He wouldn't know, would he? This isn't—"

Hua Wujian chuckled: "That's right."

Qin Xiao's eyes lit up: "Really?"

"Yes." Hua Wujian looked down at him with a mocking gaze, "Continue to deceive yourself like this."

Qin Xiao: ...

Qin Xiao scratched his head in frustration: "I'm not dead, am I?"

"Oh, so you want some praise, huh?" Hua Wujian clapped his hands twice and said in a very strange tone, "Wow, that's great... you actually survived!"

Qin Xiao: ...

Miao Kaijie couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Tian Zhixia couldn't help but laugh, biting her lower lip to try not to make a sound.

"What are you saying? I didn't do it on purpose," Qin Xiao said, without looking at him.

"What's the use of telling me?" Hua Wujian said coldly, a hint of eerie green appearing deep within his dark eyes.

Qin Xiao: ...

Qin Xiao rubbed his temples, speechless.

"Then why did you come here?"

"I'll collect your corpse." Hua Wujian glanced at him up and down, his voice steady. "What a pity."

Qin Xiao glanced at him: "If I really died, you wouldn't be happy."

Hua Wujian scoffed: "You're overthinking it."

"Hua Wujian! You—"

The boy next to Tian Yanyan suddenly spoke, pointing at Hua Wujian below. He was about to say something when he met Hua Wujian's cold and indifferent eyes, and his voice stopped abruptly.

Hua Wujian's gaze did not linger on him. He glanced at Tian Yanyan, whose mouth was stained with blood, and then looked at Liu Huangli, his brows furrowing slightly.

Liu Huangli glanced at Tian Yanyan, who had improved slightly, then stared at Miao Kaijie, secretly calculating the chances of turning the tide if he made a move now.

Miao Kaijie sensed something, turned around and looked at him. When their eyes met, he suddenly smiled and was about to say something.

"You all get out," Hua Wujian said again, turning around to look at Liu Huangli.

At Liu Huangli's height, Hua Wujian had to look up to meet his gaze, but despite the upward angle, it inexplicably gave off an air of arrogant disdain.

"...Are you talking about us?"

Liu Huangli was not familiar with him. Although the two were about the same age, Hua Wujian never took the initiative to contact them. When they tried to talk to him, they would only get a cold response. After a few times, no one approached him anymore. They only knew that he was a strange boy.

This was the first time Hua Wujian had spoken to him.

Liu Huangli frowned slightly: "If I remember correctly, we are the team."

Yuan Zhen chimed in, "So, you mean you're going to become our enemy for that evil cultivator?"

Hua Wujian didn't even spare him a glance: "That's why I'll stay."

"Then why not just eliminate them?" Liu Huangli met his gaze.

"So you want your beloved junior sister to die?" Hua Wujian smiled strangely and sneered.

Liu Huangli clenched his fist suddenly, and flames burst into flames around him.

Although Miao Kaijie and the others did not know what the young man was planning to do, they did not seem to have any hostile intentions, so they remained silent.

Mo Hanyu helped Qin Xiao up. Seeing that Qin Xiao wanted to return the mask, he pressed down on his wrist, took out another mask from his storage ring and put it on himself, saying, "I told you I have one."

Seeing this, Qin Xiao said nothing more.

"What are your friend's plans?" Chen Mo glanced at Hua Wujian, who was twirling the umbrella handle, and asked softly.

Qin Xiao didn't know either.

"You want to defeat us all by yourself?" Yuan Zhen stared incredulously at Hua Wujian, who was slowly approaching.

Hua Wujian ignored him and stared at Liu Huangli: "Get out."

"What if you get eliminated?" Liu Huangli stared intently at him and said coldly, "Do you know how much the academy values ​​this competition, and how much pressure the mentors are under?"

"What does this have to do with me?" Hua Wujian slightly raised his chin, then smiled mockingly as if he had just thought of something. "Just now, including you, there were at least fifteen high-ranking people. And what was the result?"

Liu Huangli's face darkened: "But he is now at his last gasp."

"Whether he is or not is not up to you to decide," Hua Wujian said coldly.

"So what do you mean? You want us to admit defeat?" Liu Huangli was still somewhat incredulous.

"I won't say it a third time." Hua Wujian put down the umbrella. The umbrella slowly closed, becoming thinner and longer, transforming into a golden spear, revealing its sharp tip. The umbrella surface and the spear handle merged into one, and the ribbons moved automatically without wind, wrapping around the wrist and forearm, gathering the somewhat loose cuffs.

Hua Wujian casually twirled his spear a few times, glancing at Liu Huangli.

"Too deceiving!"

Yuan Zhen never expected that he would still dare to be so arrogant at this time and place, and in a fit of anger, he slapped him with his palm.

Liu Huangli's expression changed: "No—!"

Blood arced through the air and flowed down the tip of the gun.

Yuan Zhen opened his mouth, spat out a mouthful of blood, and stared incredulously at the glaring patterns on the gun.

A single shot through the throat.

Just as the first drop of blood from the spear tip was about to fall to the ground, Hua Wujian abruptly withdrew his spear. Crimson blood gushed out.

"Junior!"

Liu Huangli was completely distraught. He rushed over to catch Yuan Zhen's collapsing body, fed him the special pills prepared for this competition, and then crushed a five-turn golden pattern healing pill and applied it to the bloody throat.

"You—!!" Liu Huangli looked at Hua Wujian in disbelief, then at Yuan Zhen in his arms, and then at Tian Yanyan who was unsteady on her feet. She was almost going crazy.

"I told you long ago, they would only be a burden." Hua Wujian carefully wiped the blood off the gun and said slowly.

Liu Huangli's eyelids trembled, and he slowly clenched his teeth.

"He'll be dead!" Liu Huangli glared at him and said angrily.

"He's not dead, is he?" Hua Wujian looked at him with a half-smile. "With you here, how could he have died so easily?"

Liu Huangli's face twitched in utter shock.

"Is this guy crazy?"

Even the spectators outside the venue were shocked.

“This guy…” Xia Wu swallowed hard, looked around, and didn’t know what to say.

Although she also had some dissatisfaction with Liu Huangli and the others, they hadn't posed a serious threat to Qin Xiao and the others. Her dissatisfaction was just that—dissatisfaction—not to the point of hatred. She never expected that this person would actually use a killing move.

It pierced right through the person's throat and neck.

Xia Wule touched his throat, his gaze complex.

Lan Huaiqiu said that his premonition was right; this was indeed an extremely dangerous and terrifying guy.

Liu Feng almost fainted from catching his breath.

“…He really is a madman.” Feng Yu’s lips twitched. “Look at Liu Huangli, he’s almost driven him crazy.”

"Our mentor will be here soon too," Yuan Qingshui said quietly, glancing at Liu Feng who was about to collapse.

“I told you Yuan Zhen was too bold. Why did he have to provoke him?” Feng Yu touched his neck, feeling a chill down his spine. “That guy isn’t normal.”

"People always overestimate themselves," the ice queen suddenly said. "Whether it's Yuan Zhen or him."

"Oh? What do you think?" Feng Yu raised an eyebrow at the icy beauty with her long legs crossed, looking like he was enjoying the show.

Yu Fengchan said nothing more, calmly gazing at Liu Huangli's ferocious face in the projection.

Liu Huangli clenched his teeth, the taste of rust rising from his throat, turning his eyes bloodshot.

He was angry.

Liu Huangli originally thought that Hua Wujian was just a bit aloof and eccentric, but he never expected him to be so resolute and unbearable.

Hua Wujian is right. Yuan Zhen is seriously injured, and Tian Yanyan is unable to move due to being restrained. He needs to take care of his companions while dealing with the threat from Yu Shi and his group on the other side. There is no point in staying here. It's either a fight or he should obey and get out.

Liu Huangli suddenly loosened his fist, his shoulders slumped, and the flames around him went out.

It seems he has made his choice.

Qin Xiao's brows relaxed slightly, then suddenly furrowed again.

Liu Huangli vanished without warning, and at the same time, the surrounding temperature rose sharply at an alarming rate! Even the vision began to distort.

Hua Wujian glanced at the slightly hot spear and sighed.

Footsteps sounded behind him, and at the same time Liu Huangli appeared behind him. However, he was not as dangerous as they had imagined. Instead, he clutched his chest in a disheveled state, trembled for a moment, and then suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood before kneeling down in front of Qingyi.

The man in green remained motionless throughout, coldly watching the kneeling youth before him. His spear transformed into an umbrella, its surface shimmering with light, enveloping the youth and making it difficult for him to breathe.

Liu Huangli coughed up black liquid continuously, his voice rapid and short, sounding as if he was about to die. Black blood vessels were visible on the back of his bare hands, winding and climbing under his skin, which was quite terrifying.

"you--"

Liu Huangli struggled to lift his head, trying to see Hua Wujian's expression. However, the light emanating from the umbrella was too dazzling, and the shadows covered his entire upper body, making it impossible for him to see Hua Wujian's face clearly.

The next second, Hua Wujian tilted his head, raised his right hand, and a small, emerald-green scorpion slowly crawled onto his palm. The scorpion stopped in his palm and then transformed into three jade slips.

"You lost."

Hua Wujian calmly and coldly described the facts, then exerted a slight force. Spiderweb-like cracks appeared on all the jade slips, and they shattered one after another.

A flash of light, and Liu Huangli and his companions disappeared from the spot.

"Dude, are you alright?"

Just as Liu Huangli was freed from the shards, he suddenly vomited blood and nearly fainted. Feng Yu caught him in a flash and asked with concern.

"That...that guy—cough cough!!" Liu Huangli was either angry or too badly injured, and couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.

"Take a deep breath, take a deep breath," Feng Yu comforted him. "At least you survived, didn't you?"

Liu Huangli glared at him suddenly, his eyes bloodshot and his expression ferocious and terrifying.

"Oh... don't worry." Feng Yu glanced at the mentor who had brought Tian Yanyan and Yuan Zhen back, patted him on the shoulder, and laughed, "Since he's chosen to go his own way, all we have to do now is see how he handles the situation, right?"

“If he loses later, the dean and the others won’t let him off the hook.” Liu Huangli’s voice was hoarse.

"You're still thinking about him at a time like this? He's not thinking about you at all." Feng Yu was also helpless with him. "Anyway, there's no use saying anything more. What's done is done, so we can only wait and see."

Liu Huangli pursed his lips and remained silent.

Feng Yu grasped his meridians and probed along them, then gasped in astonishment: "This... completely blocked? He's that ruthless? If he can't unblock it, you're finished! And you're still worried about him at a time like this?!"

Feng Yu's last words were filled with undisguised astonishment as he looked at Liu Huangli incredulously: "No matter how kind-hearted you are, you should at least look at people, right? He doesn't even treat us as companions."

“…He didn’t kill him.” Liu Huangli turned his head to the side.

"Why don't you say that to Yuan Zhen?"

Liu Huangli: ...

Liu Huangli remained silent.

As Feng Yu helped Liu Huangli back, he suddenly noticed something was amiss. He looked back and met a pair of very beautiful eyes.

The girl's fiery red hair flowed like surging waves. It was clear that she hadn't styled it carefully, yet each strand was distinct and seemed to radiate a warm light. She crossed her arms, her long, fair legs pressed together, and her rosy lips were incredibly fleshy, exuding an inexplicable allure.

A sexy figure, revealing clothing, such a hot body paired with that charming face, everything is just right.

What stood out from the rest were those cold eyes.

If the girl's first impression is that of a scorching summer, then her eyes are that of a cold winter.

After meeting Feng Yu's gaze, she made no attempt to hide it, continuing to stare coldly at the two of them.

She only looked away quietly when someone called her.
