The Hooligan in Another World

Chapter 17 The Second Test

"Killing one person makes you become a criminal, ten thousand makes you a hero, and nine million makes you a hero among heroes."

A clear laughter resounded in the Martial Arts Pavilion.

“Kid, I can’t teach you anything. I can only teach you how to kill, how to kill those who forget about favors, and how to slaughter those who obstruct your path. Follow me?”

In the corner, the old man, who was dozing off, opened his mouth and laughed faintly.

Hearing this, everyone looked in that direction in horror.

Many Sect Masters were just about to speak with ridicule, yet when they saw that person, it was actually like they’d encountered a snow eggplant, and they instantly lowered their gazes.

“That old guy must be crazy.”

All the Sect Masters of the Sword Marquis Estate became slightly unhappy, but they didn’t dare speak out openly.

Chu Qianye was somewhat astonished. The other sect masters had promised him a lot of things in order to rope him in, but the old man only taught him how to kill people.

However, this was to his liking. Besides, the other sect leaders seemed to be very wary of this old man.

Seizing the creations of the world and devouring the spirits of everything in the world. Didn’t that mean endless slaughter? Only in this way would he be able to become stronger.

"Okay, I'll go with you."

Chu Qianye didn’t care about the old man’s identity. He only knew that the other party could teach him how to kill.

"..."

The sect masters were speechless and sighed in their hearts. Such a good seedling was ruined.

"Next will be the second trial." The Sect Master looked at the last 32 candidates and said lightly. "You have an hour of rest."

When they arrived, it could be said that the cruelest trial of the Spiritual Road was a hairbreadth escape.

The participants’ breathing hitched as well.

Chu Qianye also revealed a serious expression.

"Even if your talent is amazing, you can still pass the second round?" Jiang Cai asked coldly.

Chu Qianye didn’t know what the other party was thinking, but there was one thing he was certain of—he couldn’t escape the massacre in the second stage.

"Jiang Cai, come with me," said Mr. Tang. "And you too."

Jiang Cai and the other two external disciples walked towards Mr. Tang excitedly.

"You piece of trash, just wait for death." Jiang Cai immediately said ruthlessly.

When the others saw this scene, they were slightly surprised in their hearts.

Chu Qianye would most likely be in grave danger in this second stage. Three against one, just thinking about it felt sinister.

The other disciples were in a similar situation. The Sect Leader seemed to be accepting his orders at the last moment.

“Kid, come over here,” the old man said calmly.

Chu Qianye walked over to the old man.

“If you want to become my disciple, then the Martial Art Training Towers will be considered your assessment. If you can’t even pass this trial, then you are not qualified to receive my direct teachings.”

The old man didn't avoid it at all and said it directly in front of so many people.

“This is a sword skill I created myself. It’s called the Nine Lightning Tribulations Sword Technique. It has a total of nine levels, and right now, I’ll pass down the first two levels to you. As for how much you can comprehend before entering the Martial Art Training Towers of Refinement, that will depend on your luck.

"Close your eyes and I'll teach you now."

With that, Chu Qianye felt a hand on his head.

Boom!

Chu Qianye felt a sharp pain in his head as a powerful stream of information crashed into him.

Only after a long while did the tyrannical swordmaster move his hand away.

Chu Qianye was secretly shocked. This Thunderbolt Nine Tribulations Sword Technique was simply too terrifying. Its murderous intent was also quite terrifying, almost as though it wanted to kill everyone in its path.

This sword technique was a bit difficult to understand, and those with insufficient potential may not be able to comprehend it.

However, he possessed exceptional talent. This was not a problem for him.

Half one hour was enough!

Chu Qianye closed his eyes and began comprehending the Lightning Tribulation in detail.

The Nine Lightning Tribulations Sword Technique integrated a supreme killing intent into it.

The stronger the killing intent, the more terrifying the attack would be, which coincided with his cultivation technique.

"Start the martial arts drill."

Within his sea of consciousness, Chu Qianye was standing before the ten-thousand-meter bronze divine tree with a battle sword in hand.

A wisp of killing intent silently spread out in his heart, and it was like a mist that instantly swept through his heart.

He stared straight ahead, his black hair dancing in the wind.

“Kill!”

Chu Qianye suddenly looked up, his eyes surging with killing intent. With a loud shout, he slashed forward with the sword in his hand.

However, there was no Sword Qi as he had imagined.

"Oh?"

Chu Qianye was secretly astonished. The Nine Lightning Tribulations Sword Technique he had comprehended seemed to be missing something, and this was also the reason why it hadn’t formed sword energy.

“Again!”

Second time, no.

Third time, no.

The fourth time, either.

...

He could not help but frown slightly.

“Oh right, I still have my Martial Soul!”

The corners of Chu Qianye’s mouth immediately rose slightly.

With a thought, the sword in his soul sense sea instantly slashed out like a dragon shadow.

As expected, in the end, it was still Martial Souls that were powerful, he had already comprehended two stages!

Hiss! Hiss! A strand of sword qi flashed out like a ray of light...

Although the sword energy wasn’t strong, it was still sword energy at the very least. This gave Chu Qianye some confidence in himself.

The 91st sword strike, an inch of sword Qi.

Ninety-second slash, two inches of sword Qi.

120 swords, five inches of Sword Qi.

...

“What am I waiting for if I don’t wake up now!”

An explosive shout rumbled like thunder beside his ears.

Chu Qianye’s tightly shut eyes suddenly opened, and a flash of light shot out.

A faint smile appeared on Jian Batian’s face as he sensed the changes on Qianye’s body.

He knew Chu Qianye’s aura better than anyone else.

“The second test is challenging the Martial Art Training Towers bravely.”

The headmaster in charge of the entrance exam said with a serious expression. “Inside the pagoda, one must pass through at least four floors of the pagoda. Three days from now, those that walk out will advance.”

Hearing this, many people couldn't help but change their expressions.

Very few people could pass through the four-story tower. Staying inside for three days would only make the situation worse.

“The rules of the second stage are...” The Sect Leader paused for a moment, then looked around. “There are no rules.”

“However, each of you need to kill a Barbarian Beast in the tower and collect four Barbarian Beast cores.”

After these words were said, the Martial Refinement Pavilion became extremely quiet.

There were no rules in the second trial?

Chu Qianye frowned slightly.

The more this was the case, the more difficult it would be.

Golems were terrifying? No, the hardest thing to read was a person’s heart.

It was very hard to gather a barbarian beast core crystal. There was a total of thirty-two people participating in the exam. However, the amount of barbarian beasts within the tower was limited.

Chu Qianye could already vaguely feel the arrival of a foul wind and a rain of blood.

“Don’t even think about stealing from the heavens. Every single tower has a Guardian of the Spiritual Road. Once discovered, your Martial Soul will be destroyed and you will be kicked out of the Spiritual Road.”

Cultivators who held the mentality of being lucky felt like they’d been doused with cold water.

“Open the Martial Art Training Towers.”

The Sect Master of the test fiercely grabbed forward with his hand and tore open a crack with his bare hand, causing a black door to appear before everyone.

“This is the entrance to the Martial Art Training Towers. After you enter, your second test will begin.”

The 32 candidates began to walk towards the entrance. With a flash of light, they disappeared from view.
