“Gaia is dead, marking the end of the path for the strong. Who among them did not emerge from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood? If I want to break free from this Crook Duchy and venture into the vast Fran Continent, I must kill—forge a bloody path.
The road of cultivation is long, resources are limited, and there are many martial artists. To stand out among them, one must rely on means of plunder, seizing resources and others' fortunes. Only in this way can one obtain enough resources to ascend to the peak.
This is a cruel journey. If one cannot be decisive in killing or meticulous like a fox, it is difficult to reach the end. Having killed Gaia, I obtained his Taiyuan Spear and his Storage Bracelet.
With these spoils, even facing the pursuit of the Arthur Royal Family, what does it matter?
We should boldly carve a thorny path under the stars and moonlight. If we cower or fear, our boiling blood will cool, and our courage will dissipate; then we have no capital to stand proudly!
When it comes to killing, just kill!”
As understanding slowly dawned, Bu's internal injuries healed rapidly, and his gaze grew increasingly bright.
A martial artist walks the path of defiance, contending for life and fortune, unable to escape killing or disputes. If one succumbs to cowardice or fears power, it becomes difficult to forge a broad path or possess a strong heart.
In his wager with Gaia, only the Taiyuan Spear was his prize. However, Bu did not care; to him, against a dead man, he was already victorious. He wanted everything—absolutely everything; no one would stand up for a dead person.
The only ones willing to stand up for Gaia were the Arthur Royal Family, but Bu feared them not at all.
At this moment, the situation was set. Even if Arno challenged him again, Bu was confident he could defeat him. He would become the first in this Peak Showdown, a highly esteemed student at Holy Light Academy. With the protection of Holy Light Academy, what could a mere Arthur Royal Family do to him? Even if they caused him some trouble, what could they achieve?
He slowly stood up. Bu Shuang clenched his fist, feeling the vast energy within him and that most of his injuries had healed. The wound from Gaia's spear had closed up again, revealing fresh pink skin.
Though the body of Destruction belonged to an Excellence Level Amplification Equipment, it could not withstand the sharpness of the Taiyuan Spear. It had been pierced through with an egg-sized hole but fortunately did not affect the overall properties of the equipment or cause significant damage.
Bu Xin was immersed in thought, assessing his physical condition. He was lightly injured at 9% and was gradually recovering. This level of injury would not affect his performance.
"The last person, Arno, do you dare to fight me?" Bu glanced at Arno, then quickly looked at Elena before returning his gaze, focusing his mind on the Taiyuan Spear in his hand.
There were still eight minutes left in his recovery period. Regardless of whether there would be another fierce battle ahead, Bu was mentally prepared. Even if Bloodline Transformation was on cooldown and the four skills of Destruction could not be used, he still had Ethereal Thirteen Swords.
What of the Forbidden Technique? What of Life Potential Plunder? As long as they could be utilized to help him reach the peak, the Forbidden Technique was also a path of defiance. One should live like summer flowers, striving to be extraordinary!
"Ancient Gun Taiyuan, Unleash in Anger Category: Weapon (Spear) Required Equipment Level: Level (Unique) Attribute: Amplification Increases own attack power by sixty percent Enchanted Attribute: Reduces energy consumption by twenty percent Attached Skills: 'One Strike'—the spear's momentum is like the sea, overwhelming; 'Bloodshed'—the spear pierces through, causing blood to flow, devastatingly powerful. Hidden Attribute: Unknown. Material: Exquisite Weight: 984 pounds Description: Forged in the sea of blood, Vengeful Spirit surges; on the day of unsealing, it awakens in the soul."
"On the day of unsealing, it awakens in the soul." Looking at the attributes of the Taiyuan Spear, Bu murmured with a hint of a smile, his eyes gleaming with a strange light. The strength of the Taiyuan Spear was within his expectations; after all, it was a semi-legendary ancient spear nearing legendary status, far surpassing other Excellence Level weapons.
The only surprise for Bu was that this Taiyuan Spear possessed some hidden attributes. From its description, it seemed that this spear was not as simple as it appeared on the surface and held deeper secrets waiting for him to uncover.
"The previous battle was indeed thrilling. If I hadn't decisively activated Bloodline Transformation and the attached skills of the Destruction Set, choosing to end it quickly with Gaia breaking through over twenty Acupoint, combined with the immense attack power amplification from this Taiyuan Spear, it would have been uncertain who would emerge victorious."
"However, now that I have obtained this Taiyuan Spear, I can set aside the Ethereal Thirteen Swords for a while. After all, the Ethereal Thirteen Swords is merely a Low-Level combat technique; while the power unleashed by Life Potential Plunder is strong, it is not sustainable.
Using the Taiyuan, if I learn an additional Intermediate spear technique, even if its attack power cannot match the third explosion of the Tenth Sword, its endurance in battle would surpass it."
Contemplating this, Bu slowly stored the Taiyuan Spear into his Storage Bracelet. The skills for an Intermediate spear technique were undoubtedly precious; without skill support, even possessing this Taiyuan Spear, he could not fully unleash its power.
The Gray Robed Elder, who had claimed first place in this Peak Showdown, could grant an Intermediate Combat Technique as a reward. At this moment, Bu felt envious of that combat technique reward.
His own skills were obtained from the Aldra Family. The Ethereal Thirteen Swords was forbidden; the other skills he possessed were limited in power and rather ordinary.
"If that Intermediate Level technique is a form of marksmanship, it would save me a lot of trouble."
As he was lost in thought, Elena's voice broke through, waking him from his reverie.
"Arno, the time has come. There are still nine people left in the arena. Based on your score ranking, you can only challenge Brent. Make your decision."
Her voice floated gently, spreading in all directions, and everyone's gaze focused on Arno. He also turned his eyes toward the challenger, waiting for the decision.
Arno furrowed his brow slightly, turning the ancient ring on his finger as if deep in thought, wavering in his choice. After a long moment, as the tenth second approached and under Elena's expectant gaze, Arno finally shook his head. He glanced at Bu from a distance; in that glance was both apprehension and fighting spirit, yet he ultimately sighed silently and chose to give up.
"I can't grasp this person's background. That strange transformation skill—who knows if there are any limitations? Even if there are limitations, I don't have complete confidence in defeating him. After all, Ethereal Thirteen Swords is too domineering."
A low murmur of disappointment and curses arose from the crowd, but Arno remained unmoved. He had his own judgments; unless forced into a corner, he would not push himself into uncertainty. After all, he carried too many secrets. If he shone too brightly, it would undoubtedly attract continuous trouble.
"With the Peak Showdown concluded, all contestants have completed their challenges. Due to Gaia's death among the top ten, their qualification as a student is revoked. The remaining nine will receive student status from Holy Light Academy and will be under our protection. Seven days later, we will depart for Dysia Kingdom and Holy Light Academy."
Elena lightly raised her arm, and in an instant, nine beams of light shot out from the Storage Bracelet on her wrist. With a gentle wave of her arm, they transformed into nine streaks of light that flew toward the nine contestants in the arena.
Bu's eyes sparkled as he raised his palm; an energy whirlwind wrapped around the incoming streaks of light and pulled them back.
Feeling a slight chill upon receiving it stirred waves of energy within him. Looking down, he discovered that what he had caught was another token made of Azure Jade. Observing its immense energy within—swirling like a starry sky and flowing like mist—he realized it was crafted from incredibly precious Fifth-Grade Azure Jade.
"The Peak Showdown has now come to an end. The rankings will be based on the tokens we just distributed. This token is not merely a symbol of your ranking; it also records your final scores.
These scores will become your most valuable asset once you enter the academy as official students. They can be exchanged for various skills, Amplification Equipment, or even for Contract Beasts or spiritual vein cultivation rights."
Watching as the nine had gathered their tokens, Elena added her thoughts, which caused the nine to glance at each other in surprise, clearly having never heard such news before.
At that moment, everyone exchanged looks, ultimately focusing on the participant with the highest score. A few competitors began to feel anxious.
If they had known the importance of these points earlier, they would not have made certain decisions so easily. Among them, Fourth Prince Claire showed the most complex regret, his expression as if he had swallowed a fly.
Originally, with his fifth place ranking, if he had chosen to forfeit the challenge, his points would have stabilized at sixty. Although he could not compare to the top scorer, he would still gain some benefits.
The training resources within Holy Light Academy were exponentially better than those in Crook Duchy. Even though he was a prince of the duchy, he was envious of the various skills and powerful Amplification Equipment available in that academy. Now knowing that the points from the Peak Showdown could be exchanged for rare items, Claire felt a deep sense of regret.
"What was I thinking? Why did I foolishly give away the sixty points I had in hand? I don’t even know what treasures could be exchanged for those sixty points. Sigh."
Claire's face was filled with despair; not only had he lost all his points, but his ranking had also dropped to the bottom due to his defeat in the challenge. Many participants who had wisely chosen to forfeit were now ranked higher than him, which made him feel quite disgruntled.
"Well, compared to Gaia's tragic fate and my poor fifth brother, I am at least much better off. It's a blessing that I wasn't killed by that demon Brent."
Having reached this point, Claire sought comfort in various ways and finally found a bit of psychological balance.
