Chương 120: War God’s : — Chapter 120 - Jade Fall Water City, Rotmarsh Crocodile Turtle!

"All together, and you still can't take one move?"

"I know you're strong, but I'm no slouch either!"

"One at a time, we'd all get destroyed. But all together? Maybe not!"

"Exactly!" In the crowd, Dao Sanxiao looked at Wang Xian with deep admiration. Put in the same position, he couldn't give up that many credits.

"A single chopstick snaps easily, but a whole bundle won't break!" Dao Sanxiao laughed.

"Everyone, get on stage! If we don't even have the courage to step up, we don't deserve to be students of Tiandu University! If we can't take a single move, we don't deserve these credits either!" With that, he was the first to leap onto the platform. The freshmen who'd been so thoroughly crushed they didn't want to face Wang Xian took a deep breath. One after another, they walked onto the platform. In the distance, Principal Song watched and exchanged a glance with Team Leader Qian. Especially Principal Song.

He instantly understood what Wang Xian was doing. Before long, the platform was packed with 40 to 50 Second Realm freshmen. More than half had gone up. The remaining freshmen watched with curiosity. In all the years of Tiandu University's military training competitions, the freshman battles had been held countless times. A challenge match this unique, with this scale—it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it the first of its kind.

"Doesn't this violate the rules a bit?" the middle-aged woman beside Principal Song said quietly.

"What if something goes wrong..."

"Rules change depending on the people involved." The bald man on the other side laughed.

"I think it's great! At least it's more interesting than previous years. As for things going wrong, there's no need to worry. This year's life-and-death arena has been linked to the 'Black Tortoise Divine Rampart' system."

"The moment it detects a student in life-threatening danger, whether from uncontrolled force output or anything else, it'll immediately activate the defense system and eject them straight off the platform."

"In other words, even if Wang Xian can't control his strength and someone truly can't take the move and is at risk of dying, they'll be ejected instantly."

"But generally speaking, that probably won't happen."

"They're all Second Realm. One move distributed across this many people won't have much power."

"This kid has vision. I like him!" Hearing this, the middle-aged woman nodded slightly and said nothing more. On the platform, most of the Second Realm freshmen had gone up. A small portion, like Ye Miyue, didn't go up due to special reasons. Wang Xian nodded and smiled.

"Everyone, get ready."

"This blade strike of mine isn't so easy to take." Among the freshmen, some had solemn expressions, some brimmed with confidence, some were calm and composed, others utterly unruffled. Wang Xian paid them no mind. The next moment, he suddenly drew the Second Realm martial combat armament from his back: the 'Singing Rainbow' blade. The blade erupted with dazzling light. A massive pressure burst forth from Wang Xian. In that instant, every freshman present shuddered.

"Peak Second Realm!" Principal Song was slightly taken aback. Good heavens. This Wang Xian already had peak Second Realm life force upon entering university! Definitely a life force fluctuation above 900! The other freshmen couldn't judge this, but the life-and-death arena had already measured Wang Xian's current life force: 933. Absolute peak Second Realm! After last night, Wang Xian had opened all of his divine meridians.

Now the only thing left was to fuse all 20 divine meridians into one integrated 'Zhoutian Divine Meridian.' Once he broke through that point, he could directly advance to the Third Realm. This step wasn't easy. But now, his true peak Second Realm was absolutely unrivaled! Not a single freshman present could reach this level! This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it.

"Since when does Old Martial Arts cultivate this fast?" Lei Hao gulped, not daring to be overconfident. He currently had just over 600 in life force. That was after receiving a King-tier Talent and cultivating with all his might. Yet he was still 300 short. Old Martial Arts warriors have no talent. By all logic, their speed of absorbing heaven and earth vital energy should be extremely slow. How could his life force increase so fast?

"Black Tortoise Armor Bind!" Lei Hao shouted. His entire body was quickly covered in a layer of incredibly tough turtle-shell-shaped energy armor plates. Seeing Lei Hao being this cautious, the other freshmen instantly reacted. They hurriedly activated their talents in response. The hell with this. With such an obvious life force gap, if they dared be overconfident again, they really might not be able to take even a single move! Seeing this, Wang Xian nodded slightly, then leapt into the air.

The surrounding heaven and earth vital energy seemed pulled by a powerful suction force, madly converging between the edges of the Singing Rainbow blade.

"Three Thousand Water Phases!" One blade slashed down! Pale blue energy water-light burst forth instantly from the blade's edge, forming a massive pale blue orb of light in midair. It gleamed under the sunlight, enveloping all the freshmen on the platform in an instant! In the blink of an eye, countless water-light blades grew from within this orb of light. Like 10, 000 arrows fired at once, they precisely targeted each freshman! Every freshman's expression suddenly changed.

Their scalps tingled as they sensed an immense threat! Back then, Wang Xian had used this very move to defeat the powerful Second Realm peak beast, the Abyssal Demon Chi, on Spider Heart Peak during the martial exam. Except at that time, it was stacked with many buffs: two secret skills, Stacking Wave Force and Butcher's Beast Dissection, as well as divine meridian boosts. In the end, one move of Three Thousand Water Phases annihilated it in seconds. And at that time, his life force was only 101.

Now, with over 900 life force, even without stacking any buffs, without using any secret skills or divine meridians, he hadn't even layered Stacking Wave Force through Wave Roars Heaven and Earth, yet this move, under the terrifying boost of life force and the Second Realm martial combat armament, was not the slightest bit inferior to back then! It was even stronger! Back then, the Abyssal Demon Chi, over 50 meters long, had been slaughtered.

Now, these Second Realm freshmen, with the damage distributed among them, certainly wouldn't be in mortal danger. Wang Xian estimated that quite a few should be able to take it. As for the Tiger Fiend Blade Technique, that was completely unusable. A casual strike from his Tiger Fiend Blade Technique, approaching peak mastery, could directly claim these freshmen's lives. Couldn't use it at all.

Within the water-blue energy orb cleaved out by the blade, dozens of freshmen resisted with all their might, their expressions drastically changed. One after another, talents and martial combat armaments were nearly all deployed. One water blade slashed over, instantly blasting a freshman with just over 200 life force straight out of the platform. His face was full of misery. Lin Wujin was practically swinging his spear so fast it was sparking.

His spear martial technique, Wolf Fang Spear Technique, at peak mastery realm, was practically effortless. He consecutively cleaved apart two incoming water blades, only to have his hands numbed from the shock. His entire body's strength drained massively, his heart filled with shock. No way. Dozens of Second Realm freshmen, all taking this one move together! Why did he feel like he was giving it everything he had, and yet it was still so exhausting, as if he could be sent flying at any moment?

"He's already this strong?" Not just him. Among the other top Second Realm freshmen, like Lei Hao and Dao Sanxiao, probably only Lei Hao was relatively steady. His talent was inherently defensive, and coupled with his extremely defensive fist-blade martial technique 'Harmonized Qi Fist,' his defense was impenetrable. Aside from his face occasionally paling slightly, his aura was still stable. As for the rest... BANG BANG BANG!

One after another, freshmen were continuously blasted flying out of the water-blue orb of light. The blades condensed by the orb were utterly unstoppable. A single glance at them inexplicably stirred a sense of dread.

"So this is the 'true' of the Flowing Water Blade Technique, the return-to-simplicity martial art that earned a score exceeding the maximum limit in the three martial exam categories?" Principal Song in the distance watched with amazed admiration.

"Impressive. I never imagined a student could comprehend a move of this caliber! In terms of pure power, this move alone is already not inferior to certain advanced-level martial techniques." He could imagine how astonished the testing personnel in the examination room must have been back then. This student's attainment in the Flowing Water Blade Technique had already surpassed the original creator of this blade technique. It was a case of the student surpassing the master.

The realm countless martial artists yearn for! No wonder he could score so high.

"This kid's control over martial arts feels no worse than ours..." the bald man beside him said.

"This move, as an area-of-effect technique, seems to make each water blade condensed slightly different in power."

"Those students were all blasted flying by the shockwave. They didn't even trigger the life-and-death arena's alarm."

"This kid's blade technique skill is probably approaching the fifth stage. His control is astonishing!" The several university leaders watched and nodded repeatedly. Until the very end, of the several dozen people who had originally come up onto the platform, only a sparse 20 or so remained. This was also because, at the last moment, Su Wan, who specialized in musical martial arts, played a special musical martial technique that helped many students recover some strength.

Otherwise, there probably would have been only 10 or so left. On the platform, the 20 freshmen's faces were uniformly pale, feeling like their internal vital energy was nearly exhausted. In their hearts, there was only endless shock. They believed it now. This Wang Xian absolutely had the strength to intercept over 1, 000 beasts! This one move's power reached this level!

"Alright, the rest is your stage now." Wang Xian leisurely walked off the platform and headed to the observation platform where the principal was.

"Principal Song, tell me about the relic for the upcoming military training competition?" Wang Xian said. Principal Song looked at Wang Xian in silence, then looked at the Second Realm freshmen in the distance.

"Team Leader Qian, you tell him," Principal Song said helplessly.

"Alright." Team Leader Qian smiled.

"The military training competition site, for you Second Realm freshmen, is set beneath the sea, several dozen kilometers from Tiandu."

"It's a D-rank medium-sized unmanaged zone called 'Jade Fall Water City.'""Inside, there are large numbers of E-rank aquatic beasts."

"As for the rules, you should know them. Mainly, instructors will lead you to familiarize yourselves with the environment, kill E-rank beasts, and collect materials. This unmanaged zone has three major sections, each with a powerful D-rank beast." At this point, Team Leader Qian's expression grew solemn.

"If any of you Second Realm freshmen can kill an elite zone beast of this level, you'll receive a massive credit bonus."

"Additionally, guarding the center of Jade Fall Water City is a D-rank beast with a life force of 5, 000: the 'Rotmarsh Crocodile Turtle'!"

"This beast is extremely powerful, with incredibly strong defense. Even a peak Third Realm martial artist would have great difficulty harming it in an unmanaged zone. It's not the objective for you students. The main thing is to avoid it." Wang Xian's heart stirred. Incredibly strong defense. Rotmarsh Crocodile Turtle. Clearly not a native beast. He knew quite a bit about it. This beast definitely contains a rare treasure, and its Malevolent Qi carries water-element energy.

If I slay it, my Demon Blade has now opened the first Yao line. Against it, breaking its defense is not impossible! ➤ Next: Condensing the Fire Seed, Prairie Fire Spear Art Complete!
