As soon as they stepped into the class, it was like a whole new world had opened up in front of them, they were in a huge hallway, and the reason why they were so shocked was the significant increase in mana density, it was so thick that it made them comfortable just being there, it was like moving from under a fan to an air conditioner. "You guys are probably confused as to why the mana density varied, the treasury contains some items with rich mana essence, so being here over the years has boosted the mana content of this hall" Elder Luo explained. "You guys will now receive your monthly quota" Elder Luo said as he led them to a counter where a white-haired old man with a long beard sat with his eyes closed. "Hey Elder Long Beard, the new disciples are here for their monthly quota" Elder Luo said to the old man who nodded as his aged eyes opened. "There are some promising ones this year but the rest are still the same old" Elder Long Beard remarked as his eyes returned to their p
“Boss Lu…” The underlings of the gang leader said in shock as their darted to the crash site in shock before they hurriedly rushed over to see the condition of their leader.“He’s unconscious..” The first underling told the others as he checked the condition of the leader who had suffered a broken bone In his arm and leg, the pain from all this had caused him to blackout.“You, you are finished, do you know who this is?” One of the underlings shouted towards Felix in anger as he was backed by the others.“What!, you guys want some too?” Felix asked with a menacing grin as he took a step towards them.“Just wait, we’ll be back“ Seeing this they immediately grabbed their leader and bolted off.“Hmmp, weaklings” Felix chuckled as he turned around the meet the shocked face of Li Bai.“What was that burst of energy right now, it was like you redirected his attack against him, wow that’s so cool and difficult” Li Bai immediately burst into his usual lively self as he praised Felix who shrug
“Woah there, no need to get so violent after you broke my nose, I think you owe me an apology” Felix said as he felt the cold blade on his neck.“I’m not here for chit-chat, give me my medallion or else” The female thief said as she pressed the tip of the dagger against his neck.“Wait wait, here it is” James said as he reached his hand out in front of her.“Hmmp, next tim..arrg” The female thief screamed as a burst of light exploded from Felix’s palm, blinding her view.“Urrg, you little” The female thief said in anger as she looked up to see Felix with her dagger in his hand pointed against her throat.“Now who’s talking” Felix smirked as he enjoyed his current position.“When did you?” The female thief asked with a frown.“You think you’re the only one with skills, the same way I swiped your medallion” Felix said as he enjoyed seeing her troubled and angry expression.“Okay now Tang Wei, if you want your medallion back, all you need to do is to apologize” Felix grinned as he read th
“Shit shit, where the fuck is it” Felix shouted in pain as he rushed through the forest with his hand on his chest where blood could be seen flowing out from, he reached his hand to his back and pulled out the arrow etched into it causing more blood to flow from it.“Damn it, this won’t work, I have to get someplace to hide first and make a plan or I’ll end up dead” Felix said through gritted teeth as his eyes wandered around him in full alert.SCRUUN“Fuck, it’s here” Felix exclaimed as his pupils shrank in fear, his eyes searching furiously for it.WHOOSHOut of nowhere an arrow suddenly appeared which shot towards his chest, specifically his heart, seeing this, Felix was taken aback as he watched the arrow approach his heart, the distance was too close to dodge so he was left with only a millisecond to decide what to do.*******************************************************************************************************************************************************************
“Huh did I just hear Hell mode…HELL MODE!” Felix screamed out in shock as his mind fully processed the information he was receiving.“When did I choose hell mode….was it when..” Felix said to himself as he thought back to when he was about to make the selection but was interrupted by that guy, come to think of it he remembered that he hadn’t actually seen what he had chosen.“Ohh shit fuck damn it” Felix cursed out to vent his anger and frustration.“This is real, I could almost feel death’s grip on me, that was so intense” Felix said as he remembered the scene where he had almost been diced by the arrow.“What do I do now, can I quit, uh I choose to exit the training room” Felix said as he waited for the robotic voice to reply.[Error][The only way to exit is to complete the requirement]“Oh, I’m so screwed” Felix grabbed his hair in frustration.“Okay first I need to get somewhere to rest before that thing comes again” Felix said to himself as he looked around for any sign of the h
GLITCHGLITCHThe camouflage suddenly started flickering on and off like it had a glitch before it completely vanished leaving him standing exposed.“Oh shit” Felix cursed as he could feel like time had slowed down, he turned towards the hunter to see it staring at him in anger.“SCRUUN” Immediately he heard this, Felix jumped towards the herb as from the corner of his eyes, he saw the hunter expertly grab its bow with its right hand before using its right elbow to smack the arrow holder behind it causing three arrows to fly into the sky.The hunter then jumped into the sky as it grabbed the three arrows mid-air and nocked them before firing them at Felix whose eyes glowed with a faint purple light for a few seconds before it disappeared but that was enough for Felix who landed on the ground, grabbed the herbs before rolling away just in time to dodge three arrows that struck the ground where the herbs were previously.“Gooble, munch” Immediately after rolling away, Felix stuffed one o
As the cloak of the hunter flew away, Felix was brought face to face with one of the most dreadful abominations he had ever seen, at this moment he could finally understand why they were wiped, he couldn’t find enough words to describe it with, the body of the hunter was filled with eyeballs that blinked as they stared at him, they gave off an eerie feeling of dread, the head of the hunter was that of a bird, and the most creepy thing about it was that the largest eye on its forehead, this eye was different from the rest of the eyes because even though it was closed, it gave off a sort of dangerous feeling that put one’s nerves on alert.[Don’t look in its eyes]“Urrg” Felix trembled as he regained control over his body after the system’s voice burst into his mind.“What was that?” Felix asked in horror as he remembered the feeling of his mind growing weaker.[That is what makes the hunter such a dangerous foe, its mental attacks that can affect the minds of enemies far stronger than
“Are you sure he entered the nightmare mode?” An elder asked with a frown as he questioned the outer disciple who had witnessed Felix entering the nightmare mode.“Yes, I saw him enter the nightmare mode” The Outer disciple replied with guilt.“Then it means that he’s most probably dead, there are many geniuses who have attempted the nightmare mode and there are only two who have lived through it, those two are two of if not the most powerful geniuses in the entire sect, their names are the ones written on the board…huh!” The elder said with a shake of his head as he pointed at a large board that had a heading that read Nightmare Mode, two names were shining brightly on the board, they were ‘Zhao Feng’ and ‘Tom Clearwater’ but as soon as he glanced at the board, he saw another name appear on the board which caused his eyebrow to furrow.“There is a new addition to the rankings of the Nightmare mode” An outer disciple who had noticed this change commented which drew the attention of th
“I regret that it concluded in this manner.” Li Bai stepped down from the stage and extended a hand to Han Xiao, offering assistance to help him rise. “Haha!” A wave of laughter greeted him in response, causing Li Bai's hand to freeze and the spectators to momentarily halt their cheers. Why? This occurred because Han Xiao, who typically wore an indifferent expression, laughed—an event that was truly rare. “You’re… you’re laughing.” Li Bai expressed in astonishment, unsure of how to respond. He observed Han Xiao, still chuckling, as he took his hand while Li Bai assisted him in standing up. "It's refreshing to let loose occasionally. You see, I have a unique condition that prevents me from experiencing certain emotions—happiness, sadness, even pain. However, your words triggered something within me; for a brief moment, I felt a glimpse of excitement. For that, I am truly grateful to you, Bai." Han Xiao rose to his feet with a hint of weakness, a smile gracing his lips as he addres
"FIGHT TILL THE END," Li Bai declared with a smile, his eyes shining with resolve."What?" The crowd was taken aback, and even Han Xiao found himself surprised by the shift in Li Bai's expression."You heard me correctly. Growing up, I watched my brother train until he was too exhausted to move. When he sparred with my father, he wouldn't stop until he was knocked unconscious. I often asked him why he pushed himself so hard, why he didn't just give up and surrender. He would tell me that..." Li Bai said, pausing as his eyes grew teary at the memory of his brother."A man who gives up will never reach the peak; it takes just a single step to fail and one step to succeed," Both Li Bai and Chu Yang remarked in their respective positions."He told me that giving up is like walking a journey of a thousand miles and stopping just before the last step. I used to wonder what he meant, and after losing him, I reflected on that moment and realized I let him down the most. However, I picked myse
"Now, we arrive at the final battle of this phase, which will decide who advances to the next stage. I am pleased to introduce the last two participants: Li Bai and Han Xiao." The Elder stepped onto the stage, a smile on his face, igniting the crowd with his eloquent words. "You've got this... brother," Felix said, pausing as he looked at Li Bai, whose eyes widened in excitement. He quickly rushed to hug Felix, but Felix pushed him away immediately. "Just do your best; we are here to support you every step of the journey." Zhang He also said to Li Bai, stopping him just before he could embrace him. "Aren't you going to wish me good luck?" Li Bai cast a sideways glance at Yang Mi, who shot him a fierce look in return. "Just don't die up there," Yang Mi finally said to Li Bai, her gaze softening at the sight of his pleading eyes."Hahaha, I love you too," Li Bai chuckled as he made his way down the stands toward the stage where his opponent, Han Xiao, was already waiting.Felix
Lu Han approached his seat with a mischievous grin, eliciting fearful glances from the onlookers, and he relished every moment of it. As he reached his seat, Han Sen stepped in front of him, raising his hands to block his path, prompting Lu Han to turn his attention toward him.“You didn’t need to take it that far; what prompted you to do that?” Han Sen inquired with a composed demeanor."With all due respect, my battles are my battles; you shouldn't concern yourself with mine," Lu Han replied with a smile. Though his words seemed courteous, they carried an underlying message that clearly conveyed 'Back off.' "I suppose you're right; your battle is your own," Han Sen chuckled at these words, removing his hand and allowing Lu Han to take his seat. "I'm glad you understand," Lu Han smiled, and just as he was about to take a seat, Han Sen raised his hand once more."Just hope you don't run into me in the next round, because then, there will be no one to interrupt," Han Sen remarked wit
'He skillfully disrupted his opponent's balance, leveraging the resulting momentum to lift him off the ground. With precise timing, he harnessed the rebound force to amplify the impact of his punch, inflicting maximum damage.' Felix observed intently as Chu Yang executed his method of attack. While it may have appeared effortless to the casual observer, Felix could not help but recognize the undeniable skill required to execute it so flawlessly. The memory of Chu Yang's final punch, which had shattered the stage with a single strike, served as a testament to the immense power he possessed. Felix sighed, acknowledging that facing off against Chu Yang would be a challenging battle with an uncertain outcome. "Felix, focus. It is time for the next match," Li Bai gently reminded Felix, pulling him back from his thoughts. His gaze shifted towards the stage, where a figure stood opposite Lan Liqing. It was none other than Lu Han, the individual who had been a constant thorn in Felix's
"That was one powerful attack from Han Sen" The outer disciples were once again filled with excitement, as they were once again reminded of the incredible skill and talent possessed by the Top Ten. "Did you guys notice that this was the first attack from Han Sen, throughout the whole battle he was on defense" The disciples eagerly engaged in conversation, discussing another topic that had caught their interest. "Yeah, and Chu Yang was completely devastated by a single attack." "He looked so cool catching that last attack," some of the females said as they engaged in conversation, giggling every now and then as they glanced at a furious Han Sen who had come off the stage and was making his way to the Top Ten seats. Chu Yang observed Han Sen's furious look, which caused the others to back away from him, saying, "Nice move at the end." Han Sen walked past the Top Ten stands, seemingly finished with his spectator duties for the day, with a cold, "Not now, Chu." Chu Yang laugh
"You're up Han" Su Yang said to Han Sen who groaned in annoyance. "Is that the guy I'm going to be fighting against? This sucks, at least you got to fight someone who was slightly strong" Han Sen groaned in disappointment, he stared at his opponent on the stage before he sighed and jumped out of his seat, with his hands in his pockets,he walked to the stage where his opponent was waiting. His opponent, Chu He was a sword cultivator, someone who specialized in the way of the sword, he was also the 12th rank so he was noticeably strong, he was as tall as Han Sen, around 6 feet tall, he wasn't as muscular as him though he was well built, his dark hair had been tied to a ponytail behind him, his eyes were sharp like his sword, he wielded dual swords, one on each side, he stood upright displaying his confidence as a sword practitioner. "It's an honor to fight against you Han Sen, I've heard so much about you" Chu He smiled and gave a martial bow of respect towards Han Sen who smiled.
Back on the stage, giant faced off against giant in an epic moment, the two sides had let loose and released their bloodline power to the peak, ready to end it. ATOMIC FIST Lin Huang made the first move, his figure appeared next to Shan Ren where his right fist turned into a fiery rocket which he swung towards Shan Ren whose arm turned into a shield onto which, Lin Huang's fist slammed into creating a shockwave that slammed into the barrier around the stage which trembled and went back to normal. After blocking the attack, Shan Ren saw his opportunity to attack since his opponent was in this close range, he eyes turned brown causing thick mud to rise up from the ground which wrapped around Lin Huang's feet gluing him to the ground. Seeing his opponent now locked in place, Shan Ren injected his fists with mana before sending over a flurry of punches which slammed onto the blue shield condensed by Lin Huang's left side, punches of high magnitude continuously smashed onto Lin Hua
"He won" Wang Xiong was blown out of his mind. "Su, if you were to rank Da Ji based on his current strength, which rank would you put him?" Chu Yang asked causing his brother to pause and think for some time. "I would rank him 4th, just below Han Sen" Su Yang replied and this caused the others among the top ten to glance at him, to some it might seem like an insult but they themselves knew that it was the truth. "So if Felix was able to defeat him, then that means that he's as strong as an early Emperor and also has so many tricks under his sleeves, he could be stronger than me" Wang Xiong frowned at this realization. "For now, I wouldn't be so sure because it looked like he had a skill that made him immune to Da Ji's mental attacks, that's what earned him his victory, and a major part of Da Ji's strength comes from his bloodline ability of his mental attacks, if that is taken out of the question, we could also easily take him out" Lu Han also gave his analysis, and although t
