Chapter 63

A storm-like momentum crushed over.

In an instant, Ye Han felt suffocated, only sensing endless pressure enveloping him.

Feng Wuliang pointed a finger at Ye Han’s brow...

At the same time, countless disciples outside the battlefield fell into silence.

Some of the academy’s high-ranking officials were startled, all rising to their feet.

Dead?

Luo Tianzheng is dead!

An existence that had reached the Qi Explosion Realm and was about to become an inner disciple.

He was cleanly and decisively killed by Ye Han.

For the academy, it wasn’t a significant loss, but this kind of incident was unprecedented.

"Execute him, he must be executed!"

"This Ye Han is ruthless and cruel, he doesn’t deserve to be an academy disciple."

Some of the academy elders immediately spoke up, especially the deputy hall master of the Law Enforcement Hall, Qiu, who was particularly agitated.

There was no doubt that this violated the academy’s rules.

If a match could result in the arbitrary killing of an opponent, wouldn’t the academy descend into chaos in the long run?

At the same time, in the battlefield, Ye Han’s body retreated a hundred meters.

The terrifying finger force was unstoppable, carrying a destructive aura that surged into Ye Han’s body.

Feng Wuliang’s killing intent was boundless!

Ye Han’s body trembled, his brow stained with blood, feeling as if his head was about to be pierced.

The killing power of the finger force itself wasn’t too strong.

But the will it contained was overwhelmingly powerful, almost irresistible, capable of annihilating everything.

A slight misstep, and Ye Han’s true will would be destroyed by Feng Wuliang’s will, collapsing instantly, turning him into a fool, a living dead.

At the critical moment, in a split second,

Ye Han erupted, his aura circulating, his throat moving.

"Scram!"

Under absolute pressure, a loud word suddenly echoed throughout the area.

The word was deep, domineering, decisive, fearless, lawless, and unstoppable, carrying Ye Han’s astonishing martial will that burst forth in that instant.

The sound waves surged, spreading and expanding in a single breath.

Qi pierced the sky, sound waves killed!

A realmless martial technique... Soul-Seizing Thunder Sound!

Under the crushing will of Feng Wuliang, at this moment, Ye Han, who had already advanced to the ninth level of divine power, directly unleashed the Soul-Seizing Thunder Sound.

A martial technique given to him by Mo Qingrou, intended for Ye Han to cultivate after reaching the Qi Explosion Realm.

Although Ye Han had only skimmed through this martial technique without deliberate cultivation, today it flowed naturally, completely releasing his will and anger.

Suddenly, the vacuum trembled, like an invisible current surging.

Like a great river’s tide, it surged with the sound waves, overwhelming everything.

A hundred meters ahead, Feng Wuliang’s shadow shattered and vanished without a trace.

On the ground, the martial token cracked, now useless.

"Phew..."

Ye Han took a long breath, finally relaxing.

He had succeeded, destroying Feng Wuliang’s will, as if breaking free from the eighteenth level of hell, achieving a great liberation in spirit.

He felt like he had survived a great calamity!

"I won!"

Ye Han scanned the sky and earth ahead, calmly uttering three words.

It was exhilarating, extremely comfortable!

Every pore on Ye Han’s body was expanding, continuously absorbing the elemental energy around him.

At the moment of killing Luo Tianzheng, his heart, like a demon eliminated, became unobstructed in will.

He wanted to kill, and even the reincarnation son Feng Wuliang could not stop him.

A powerful confidence grew in his heart.

"Unfortunately, that bitch Ye Zixuan didn’t participate in the battle!"

Ye Han looked towards the sky beyond the battlefield, into the distant space.

He had an overwhelming urge to directly kill his way to the Peak of Heaven and slay Ye Zixuan on the spot today.

Ye Zixuan was the biggest thorn in his heart!

If he could remove this thorn, past grievances would be erased, and from then on, Ye Han could truly have an unobstructed will, ascending step by step on the path of martial arts without any reservations.

After a dozen breaths of silence, Ye Han turned and walked to the edge of the battlefield.

Despite the transformation in his realm, foundation, and will, even after the intense battle and being crushed by Feng Wuliang’s will, he still maintained his peak state.

For the next battle, the competition for first place, Ye Han was fearless.

"Ye Han, the victor!"

The academy elder announced, his gaze complex.

This elder looked at Murong Feng: "Murong Feng, do you wish to challenge Ye Han?"

Murong Feng, who had also advanced to the top three, was an outstanding genius among the outer disciples.

At this moment, his gaze was fixed on Ye Han, his eyes extremely complex.

Seeing Ye Han walk with the gait of a dragon and a tiger, still not fatigued, Murong Feng shook his head: "I give up the challenge!"

You must be kidding, challenging Ye Han at the height of his power?

Murong Feng wasn’t that foolish!

"Very well, then I announce, in the outer disciples’ competition, Ye Han is first, Murong Feng is second, and due to Luo Tianzheng’s death, third place is... Lin Xiu!"

The elder’s voice rolled, echoing throughout the area, announcing the final rankings.

Outside the battlefield, Lin Xiu’s gaze was complex. He had been one of the dark horses in the earlier rounds, a steady top three, but unfortunately, he lost in the top ten competition and stopped there.

He never expected to owe Ye Han a favor, advancing to the top three due to Luo Tianzheng’s death.

"According to the rules, the three of you will be directly promoted to inner disciples after the academy assembly. Congratulations!" the elder continued.

Many people were stunned; no one expected this final ranking!

The number of outer disciples in the academy was extremely large. Apart from some geniuses with special bloodlines, a few even had special constitutions, and many had stayed in the outer disciples for years, accumulating a vast foundation.

The competition was extremely fierce, making it incredibly difficult to enter the top ten.

Like Ye Han, joining the academy for just a few months and directly winning first place in the outer disciples’ competition,颠覆了很多人的认知。

尤其是，叶寒似乎并不是那种天纵无双的存在，他的天赋似乎也并不怎么强大，这更让人难以置信。

奖励，直接就发放下来了！

前十的奖励，地级下品丹药：雷霆暴气丹。

除此之外，还有前三的奖励，直接晋升为内门弟子，一步登天。

“慢着！”

就在奖励发放的同时，一道声音突然出现。

众多学院高手都看过去，发现不知何时，执法大殿的副殿主邱已经现身。

“此子手段狠辣，内心狠毒，敢在弟子大比中堂而皇之下死手，这种人，怎么可能晋升为内门弟子？”

邱副殿主目光淡漠，扫了叶寒一眼。

“不错！”

顷刻间，又有三人现身，态度反对，意见强烈。

持剑长老！

学院有至宝：天、地、人三剑，是学院重要护院剑阵的基础，这三柄战剑自古以来都会有相应的高手所持。

“学院弟子若求生死，必当立下生死状，踏入生死台解决恩怨。”

“这叶寒，在弟子大比中直接出手杀人，罪责难逃，当废去修为，逐出学院，重则处死。”

站在最前方的一名老人开口，乃是持剑长老中的天剑长老。

众人侧目，皆是面容复杂。

三大持剑长老，皆为……半步剑仙！

没想到这三人居然齐齐现身，要阻拦叶寒晋升内门。

【作者有话要说】

晚上还有第二、第三更！
