Chapter 28

Seeing Hu Gao charge into the sword qi storm, everyone in the audience couldn't help but exclaim in shock. Some of the more timid people even covered their eyes, unable to bear the sight of the bloody scene that was about to unfold.

Hu Gao rushed into the sword qi storm, feeling countless sword qi pierce through his body, like being cut by knives, as chunks of flesh were sliced off, and blood sprayed everywhere.

On his face, arms, body, and legs...

All over his body, he didn't know how many places had been hit by the sword qi, and the intense pain seemed to come from every cell.

"What? He actually entered my sword qi storm? This..."

Seeing Hu Gao charge into the sword qi storm, Zhu Lin's expression changed slightly, realizing the situation was not good. But he knew it was too late, and Hu Gao was as good as dead. Looking at Hu Gao being engulfed by the sword qi storm, a look of pity flashed in his eyes.

"Damn, it hurts so much!"

When Hu Gao emerged from the sword qi storm, he couldn't help but curse, but he endured the pain, his speed not slowing down at all. He charged at Zhu Lin like a whirlwind, shouting, "Bastard, get out of my way!"

Hu Gao had no intention of holding back against this guy who had tried to kill him. This kick was not only his full effort but also combined two or three moves from the Yuan Techniques, making it incredibly powerful.

"What? He's not dead?!"

Seeing Hu Gao charging towards him, Zhu Lin exclaimed in shock, his mind filled with disbelief.

"Bang!"

Hu Gao's foot landed on Zhu Lin's chest, and he felt a massive force surge through him. His entire body flew backward, curling up like a shrimp as he fell off the martial arts platform.

While still in mid-air, the sharp pain made him faint.

Even before he lost consciousness, he couldn't understand how Hu Gao could still be alive after being engulfed by the sword qi storm.

This was not scientific!

"Is Hu Gao okay? How can he be so strong? He actually survived the sword qi storm."

The crowd below saw Hu Gao, covered in blood, standing tall and straight, which seemed to defy common sense.

Many people looked at Hu Gao with fear and their scalps tingled.

Although Hu Gao didn't know how many wounds he had, there were at least hundreds of sword cuts. Fortunately, he could feel a tingling sensation in his wounds, indicating that they were healing rapidly.

"Damn, is he even human? His body is more terrifying than a divine beast's." Someone was so jealous that they cursed out loud.

"Although I lost a lot of blood, I earned a lot of gold tickets. It's still worth it. The key is that I seem to be close to creating my own Yuan Technique."

Once his injuries were mostly healed, Hu Gao picked up the gold tickets from the ground, put them in his pocket, and smiled, not looking like someone who had just been injured.

Previously, he couldn't find a suitable Yuan Technique for himself. If he could create his own, the compatibility would be much better. However, his self-created Yuan Technique would likely have many flaws, and he would need to study more Yuan Techniques to improve it. Otherwise, even if he created one, it would be weak and easy to be defeated.

Wu Qiong, who was watching from below, sneered and shook his spear. A yellow light immediately appeared under his feet, propelling him onto the martial arts platform.

"Hu Gao, I didn't expect you to be so strong. How about I challenge you next? Do you want to rest for a while, or fight me directly? If you're not in a fighting condition, I'll let you recover and then we can fight."

Wu Qiong looked at Hu Gao coldly, his eyes filled with coldness. Although he offered Hu Gao a chance to rest, a powerful aura pressed down on Hu Gao, trying to crush him.

Only Hu Gao could feel this aura, so to the audience, Wu Qiong still looked fair. If Hu Gao took a break, others would think Wu Qiong was generous.

However, during this time, Wu Qiong kept using his aura to suppress Hu Gao, preventing him from healing and even making his injuries worse.

"You bastard!"

Hu Gao cursed in his heart. Fortunately, his body, strengthened by the special energy of the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, was strong enough to resist a peak Fifth Stage Condensation Shadow Realm warrior.

He didn't expect Wu Qiong to be so petty. With his cultivation already two levels higher than Hu Gao's and his yellow Yuan Energy indicating he was a Third Stage Totem Warrior, he still used such despicable tactics.

"Come on, I want to see how much better you are than the other two." Hu Gao coldly snorted, holding his sword horizontally, facing Wu Qiong head-on.

"Hmm? Your body is quite strong, and your injuries haven't worsened." Wu Qiong was surprised that his aura didn't affect Hu Gao's injuries, quickly realizing that Hu Gao's body was strong enough to resist his pressure.

"Whoosh!"

Wu Qiong lightly shouted, and his spear, like a flying dragon, pierced through the air, aiming at Hu Gao's body.

Hu Gao realized that Wu Qiong was using his strongest move from the start, not bothering to warm up, and was trying to take advantage of his weakened state to crush him.

Therefore, Hu Gao also used a powerful move, a sword technique combining three Yuan Technique moves, piercing through the air, with sword qi flying everywhere, and a fierce sword intent shooting from his eyes, aiming for Wu Qiong's heart.

"Sword intent? I didn't expect you to reach the sword intent stage so quickly. If I let you grow, you'll be terrifying in the future. Since that's the case, I, Wu Qiong, will cripple you and turn you into a cripple."

A killing intent flashed in Wu Qiong's eyes. Sensing the danger from Hu Gao, he decided not to let Hu Gao grow, or he would have no place to stand in Ningcheng in the future.

"Whoosh..."

The spear technique changed instantly, like a roaring dragon, shaking the air and making a sharp whistling sound. The spear tip aimed at Hu Gao's arm, as if he wanted to shatter his entire right arm, destroying his meridians, and preventing him from regrowing a new one.

"Clang!"

The spear and sword clashed, producing a pleasant metallic sound, shaking the air, like a dragon's roar and the whistling of sword qi.

"Crack!"

A sound of air bursting could be heard in the air.

"Thud, thud..."

Both Hu Gao and Wu Qiong took several steps back.

"Die!"

Wu Qiong's expression changed, surprised that Hu Gao's clumsy sword move could block his strongest move. His heart raged like a storm, his eyes narrowed, and he roared, his Yuan Energy boiling.

Totem! He was about to use his totem.

"Another totem?" Seeing the signs of a totem being summoned, Hu Gao's expression became strange. Do they think I don't have a totem?

Sigh, forget it. The Bloodlight Snake, a mutated totem, is too powerful, and using it would easily expose his strength. Hu Gao stood still, waiting for Wu Qiong to summon his totem. He had already experienced a Second Stage totem from Guo Tao, and now he could experience a Third Stage totem.

"Stop!"

Just then, a loud shout came from a distance, and a group of people rushed over.

"So powerful, all of them are experts!"

There were thirty people in the group, and Hu Gao could sense their auras. Even the weakest among them was much stronger than him.

All of them were Body Passage Realm experts!

"Enforcement Team, they are from the Battle Academy's Enforcement Team. Why are they here?"

"Hey, who is that? So beautiful. Ah... It's Yang Le, the little demoness brought the Enforcement Team. Right, I heard she is the honorary deputy captain of the Enforcement Team and has the authority to mobilize a small team. What is she going to do?"

"From the way she's rushing over, it's definitely not good. Ha, those who challenged Hu Gao are in trouble."

Hearing the crowd's discussion, Hu Gao was a bit stunned but quickly reacted, feeling a warm current in his heart. Yang Le must have mobilized the Enforcement Team for him.

"Arrest all those who are causing a disturbance and put them in solitary confinement for half a month."

A young man with a cold expression, holding a spear, walked to the front and gave the order. He landed in front of Hu Gao, pointing his spear at Wu Qiong, "You, causing a disturbance and injuring a classmate. Do you want to tie yourself up, or should I do it for you?"

The Enforcement Team was always so domineering, not asking for reasons and directly arresting those causing trouble.

"I..."

Wu Qiong opened his mouth, wanting to argue, but facing the young man's cold expression, he didn't know what to say, feeling frustrated and unwilling. He saw Yang Le and knew the Enforcement Team was brought by her.

She must have brought the Enforcement Team because they injured Hu Gao and angered her.

For a moment, Wu Qiong looked at Hu Gao with even colder eyes and said, "I thought you were someone, but you're just trash, resorting to bringing in the instructors. Hmph, if I had summoned my totem just now, I would have beaten you to the ground."

Hu Gao rolled his eyes, another brainless person. He didn't bother with such pointless talk. He didn't expect Yang Le to suddenly show up and have the Enforcement Team arrest everyone who challenged him.

Although he was touched, he couldn't help but think, "How can they arrest everyone? If you arrest them all, where will I earn gold coins from in the future? In my eyes, these challengers are all golden coins, and arresting one of them hurts."

However, he couldn't say anything about Yang Le's good intentions, so he hung his head, feeling depressed and worried, thinking about how to earn gold coins next.

"Hey..."

Soon, Hu Gao noticed that many people in the crowd looked regretful, clearly thinking it was a pity that they couldn't challenge Hu Gao anymore.

"Hehe, once I recover, I'll secretly arrange battles with them."

Hu Gao made a decision. After today's battles, his combat awareness and skills had improved significantly.

Additionally, he could feel his Yuan Energy becoming more active, showing signs of another breakthrough. He had also created a preliminary Yuan Technique, which he could improve by studying more Yuan Techniques.

At that time, who in the Ordinary Hall would be his match?

The Battle Academy is indeed a good place. I didn't come here for nothing. Just today, I earned nearly ten thousand gold coins. I won't lack gold coins for a while. During this time, I'll focus on improving my cultivation. Once the gold coins run out, I can easily defeat any warrior in the Ordinary Hall and earn as much as I want.
