“Boom”
A violent rumble echoed across the survival arena.
At this moment, countless burning gazes were directed at the middle of the survival arena.
Who could it be? Who would be the ultimate winner?!
Would it be Lin Han, the subdivision disciple, or Lin Juedao, the Outer Residence’s Gifted Genius Disciple?”
Finally, the dust settled and everyone could see the scene in the survival arena.
Lin Juedao, who held a changdao, had slashed an ancient bell of pure gold. The knife Qi moved with great ease and was terrifying, yet it could not cut open the giant golden bell.
“It was actually blocked!”
“Moving Dragon Palm, Quick Draw Sword, Thirteen Gleaming Swords… And now he’s activated the golden bell defensive martial art. This Lin Han, could he be some evildoer? Why would he know so many powerful martial arts otherwise?”
All around, the Outer Residence disciples were shocked beyond belief.
Even the big shots of the various Sect Residences nodded their heads slightly as they looked at Lin Han.
They were originally very much indifferent to this Outer Residence Competition but they never expected a peerless genius to emerge.
“That’s impossible! My Killing Knife Art can cut through anything yet your defensive cover that was formed using True Element actually managed to stop my Killing Trio of Knives? I don’t believe it!”
At this moment, Lin Juedao had a crazed expression on his face as he roared, raising his changdao once more in preparation for another slash.
“Quick Draw Sword!”
However, Lin Han suddenly exclaimed.
“Swish!” His sword was unsheathed.
A beam of sword-light rang out like a sudden clap of thunder before it suddenly stabbed into the changdao in Lin Juedao’s hands.
Clang!
Lin Juedao’s expression shifted before the changdao in his hand was sent flying.
“Qiang!”
The next moment, a beam of sword-light came slashing towards him again.
“No…”
“Pfft”
A murderous sword knew no mercy.
A stroke of cold sword-light had cut off Lin Juedao’s right arm and his blood spilled onto the survival arena.
“Ah!” Lin Juedao howled in pain before he fell to the ground.
“Swish!”
Lin Han sheathed his sword and walked towards Lin Juedao, looking down on the man on the ground before saying, “I’ve said it before, the only person who’ll die a terrible death is you.”
“Lin Han! Lin Han, you cut off my right arm?! You cut off the arm I use to wield my sword…”
At this moment, Lin Juedao had completely fallen apart. He screamed and howled, his eyes staring into Lin Han’s own like a malicious spirit. “You little sh*t, kill me if you dare to! Just kill me!”
“Crack!”
The sound of bones cracking suddenly echoed.
It was Lin Han; he had stepped on and subsequently broke Lin Juedao’s left arm.
“I won’t kill you but I do want to cripple you. I want you to feel the hopelessness of being humiliated by countless people and see just how scary it is!”
Lin Han smiled coldly.
His tone was cold and bitter, exuding an air that was enough to scare anyone.
“Lin Han actually crippled Lin Juedao?!”
At the same time, Lin Meier, who was standing a short distance away, staggered and almost fell to the ground.
Lin Juedao being crippled meant she had lost her supporter.
All the efforts she had poured into Lin Juedao this past year were all in vain now…
She had fallen to Hell from Heaven and this made Lin Meier feel deep despair and panic.
“Lin Han!”
“Lin Han!”
“Lin Han!”
At this moment, roaring cheers suddenly erupted all around.
It was the countless Outer Residence disciples!
They all had their eyes on Lin Han now and their gazes revealed a deep admiration.
Lin Han’s popularity had reached its peak at this moment!
At this time, even Lin Tian, Lin Xue, and Lin Ruyan, who were all ranked in front of Lin Han, were completely overshadowed by him.
A moment later, Lin Juedao was dragged out of the arena like a dead dog.
The elimination battle continued.
The Outer Residence disciples left the arena one by one after their losses.
Lin Han, on the other hand, gradually became the new champion of the new generation of Outer Generation disciples. Even Lin Tian did not dare to say anything.
Lin Han’s horrifying strength and bloody killing methods had left everyone in awe.
Half a day passed by and the elimination battle finally came to an end.
Out of the hundreds of people, twenty-five were chosen to participate in the next Inner Residence Martial Arts Tea Party.
“Next, the second round of the competition begins!” The same Inner Residence elder announced and the ranking match officially began
The ranking match was also in the form of a one-on-one battle.
However, what made Lin Han slightly dumbfounded was that every opponent he was matched up against would immediately admit defeat without even sending out a single move.
That was until he ended up in the survival arena against Lin Ruyan.
“Lin Han, I’ll be going all out,” said Lin Ruyan solemnly.
“Okay.”
Lin Han nodded his head.
“Sword Art of the Frozen Heart!”
Lin Ruyan unsheathed a thin sword from her waist and immediately stabbed at Lin Han repeatedly. The air temperature instantly became extremely cold
It was still the same sword technique but Lin Han could tell that Lin Ruyan’s technique had improved quite a bit since she had battled against him yesterday.
However, Lin Ruyan was still not much of a threat to Lin Han.
Clang!
The whistling of a sword suddenly rang.
“Bang, dong!”
The longsword in Lin Han’s hand tore through the air, cutting through it like cold electricity, and sent the thin sword in Lin Ruyan’s hand flying.
“I’ve lost,” said Lin Ruyan with a bitter smile.
She originally thought she could resist one or two moves from Lin Han.
However, it seemed that Lin Han had deliberately allowed her to make her move first, otherwise, he would have long defeated her in a single move.
“What a monster…” muttered Lin Ruyan before she descended the arena.
Despite her mysterious identity, she had never seen a freak like Lin Han. Be it palm techniques, body martial arts, defensive martial arts, or even sword techniques, he was extremely powerful.
Lin Ruyan did not believe it in the beginning but it seemed now that there really were all-rounded geniuses learning martial arts.
Lin Han was definitely one of these geniuses.
“Monster?” Lin Han’s perception was stronger now after it was reformed by the Golden Spirit Fire so he had immediately heard Lin Ruyan’s muttering, which made the corner of his lips twitch.
After defeating Lin Ruyan, who was third, Lin Han wanted to take the first place, which meant his next opponent was…
“I’ve been waiting for you for a while.” Lin Xue stood in the survival arena, a smile on his face.
Lin Han nodded slightly at his statement.
Lin Han could feel hostility from Lin Xue.
“I don’t know, how many of Lin Han’s techniques can Lin Xue resist?”
“Lin Xue is the most mysterious disciple of our Outer Residence so nobody knows what he’s capable of. He might even be a dark horse who’ll defeat Lin Han.”
At this moment, many of the Outer Residence disciples seated outside the arena were discussing amongst themselves.
“Make your move,” said Lin Han calmly at Lin Xue.
“If you’re able to block this one move of mine, I’ll immediately admit defeat.” Lin Xue suddenly said, a mysterious smile on his face.
“Hm”
As soon as his words fell, Lin Xue suddenly closed his eyes.
“Huh? Why did Lin Xue close his eyes?”
“Is he mulling over something?”
All around, doubt flashed across the disciples’ faces and even the Inner Residence elder hosting the competition showed a look of curiosity.
What was this Lin Xue doing?
Could he be stalling for time?
Just as everyone was puzzling over his move, Lin Han’s expression suddenly shifted.
At this moment, he could feel a strange, invisible force corroding towards himself.
“Mental force?” Lin Han’s eyes glimmered.
The next moment, Lin Han closed his eyes slowly as well.
In the survival arena, the two people who were supposed to be in a fierce battle were now facing each other with their eyes closed, the silence almost unnerving.
The Outer Residence disciples were struck dumb.
What was going on?
At this moment, the Inner Residence Elder’s expression shifted slightly as if finally realizing something.
