A loud clang echoed through the air, a sound that was deafening and intense. It wasn't just a single sound; if one listened closely, the noise was so dense and rapid that it created an illusion of a singular sound, followed by a lingering hum that vibrated the air and caused flames to flicker.
With a swift motion, a Flying Cloud strike deflected the incoming Nine Dragon Spear. Reuben was pushed back repeatedly by the immense force carried by the spear. His expression was cold as he saw Bu rapidly approaching, closing the distance in an instant. In the blink of an eye, Bu lunged forward with a palm strike aimed directly at Reuben's throat, intending to deliver a fatal blow.
The attack was executed with such speed that no one could evade it. Even as Bu's hand shot out, it created friction with the air, compressing it like a cannonball ready to explode, generating terrifying destructive power.
The palm ultimately landed on Reuben's neck, sending a powerful gust of wind that made Reuben's facial muscles tremble. In his expression of rage and fear, Bu's hand suddenly tightened, producing a cracking sound.
Bones snapped under the pressure of Bu's grip, strong enough to crush steel. However, his strike missed its target entirely.
Just as Bu's palm was about to make contact with Reuben, the latter's figure was enveloped in a flash of white light. What Bu touched was merely an illusion; his final grasp caught nothing but air, causing his fingers to crack from the force.
Feeling regretful inside, Bu's gaze remained indifferent as he watched Reuben's figure gradually fade away in the white light. The fear on Reuben's face transformed into a hint of mockery, thick with sarcasm. Although Bu couldn't hear clearly what Reuben murmured, he could understand from his lip movements that he was saying: "You can't kill me; just wait for my revenge."
"I'll be waiting!" Bu scoffed coldly before turning away. He stomped down hard on the ground, shaking up the Nine Dragon Spear before storing it in his Storage Ring.
"What a pity to let that bastard escape like this!" Ivan lamented in the plaza of Holy Light Academy, his face filled with frustration. He seemed to wish for Reuben to die at Bu's hands immediately; if not, it would be too disappointing for him.
"Father, this man named Brent is incredibly strong! At such a young age, he possesses such power—much stronger than my Brother Bu. If we could recruit him into our family, how wonderful that would be!"
Nearby in the audience area sat a plump young lady from a Wealthy Family, her voice sweet and slightly flushed as she spoke. Her two braids swayed back and forth with her head.
Beside her sat a middle-aged man dressed like a wealthy merchant. He was remarkably overweight; his eyes were squinted into slits due to his chubby face. Sitting in an oversized armchair, he looked as if he had been squeezed into it, layers of flesh piled upon each other in a way that made him appear quite rotund.
Upon hearing his daughter's overly affectionate words, the middle-aged merchant visibly shuddered; his body trembled like waves rolling over one another. He cleared his throat and chuckled bitterly: "Butterfly, I’m not scolding you; your idea is good but needs to be more realistic."
Brent is clearly a standout among this year's students at Holy Light Academy. Regardless of his background, his terrifying strength and talent are beyond what our family can aspire to. Cough, you should spend more time with my nephew; I believe he is quite good and has the potential to be a son-in-law.
The father, known as Die, seemed to feel shy and quickly spoke in a sweet voice, explaining, "Isn't my daughter also trying to relieve the family's worries? In Holy Light Academy, exceptional talents emerge. If we can recruit one or two with generous offers to become honorary members of our family, our family's status in White Sparrow City will surely rise. And my Brother Bu... sigh."
In the end, Die's expression clearly darkened as she softly said, "Brother Bu hasn't paid attention to me for a long time."
The middle-aged wealthy merchant furrowed his brows and glanced at his daughter. He sighed internally, thinking, "I, Fu Dafu, may possess mountains of gold and silver in this life, but I have no sons. My daughter will eventually marry off; who will manage the large family in the future?"
At this moment, the figure of Bu, who was being discussed by the Rich Father and Daughter duo, had already vanished from the cubic Light Barrier, replaced by another scene of battle.
In this scene, a woman shone like the sun as she faced an onslaught from six Trialists. Not only did she not fall behind, but her fierce attacks left the six Trialists gasping for breath. Even compared to Bu, who already possessed an invincible aura, she was equally impressive.
This woman wore a Red Robe and had an appearance that was quite ordinary; however, her bright eyes were clear as water and seemed to penetrate the hearts of others. The slightly sharp arch of her brows gave her an indescribable air of heroism. The most striking impression she left was her overwhelming presence—like a ruler looking down upon all.
"Cynthia's talent is quite remarkable. As a member of our Dysia Kingdom's Royal Family, she certainly hasn't brought shame to us. I remember she just turned twenty this year," an elder dressed in exquisite attire resembling a court noble suddenly spoke up from the Elder Seat. His gaze towards the woman within the Light Barrier was filled with appreciation.
"Indeed, just turned twenty. Cynthia..." another elder with a long face sighed and added, "I recall her father, Prince Xino; Cynthia entered the Intermediate Level three years ago. In those three years, she has been accumulating strength and diligently refining her internal energy. By the time she entered Holy Light Academy, she had already opened fifty-eight Acupoints. After this period of hard training, she is likely close to opening her sixtieth Acupoint."
"However, I wonder how she compares to that Brent?" The noble-like elder suddenly raised an eyebrow and glanced at Van Lao sitting not far away before murmuring softly.
Meanwhile, Bu, who was being talked about by countless people, had brought Reynold and the other two to a relatively open area and took out various medicines to heal them.
Although Reuben had escaped, the four Trialists who followed him perished at Bu's hands. All items in their Storage Bracelets were thoroughly looted. The three Trialists previously killed by Reuben also had their belongings taken without hesitation by Bu.
Bu did not keep all the spoils from the seven Trialists for himself; instead, after sorting through all the materials and treasures collected, he distributed sixty percent to Reynold and the other two. Their points significantly increased as a result; even Mu Yan, who had been lagging behind in rankings, managed to break into the top fifty.
Reynold and Mu Yan were not severely injured; they casually took a few Healing Pills and meditated for a while before fully recovering.
Only Arno suffered greatly; having directly endured Reuben's blade energy impact left his chest mangled and nearly injured his heart. If he hadn't activated the protective skill on his Amplification Equipment in time, he would have been left with only half his life at this moment—even if he survived.
Fortunately, this is a trial ground, filled with countless treasures. Bu took out some Healing Pills for Arno to consume and selected several rare herbs from everyone's treasures.
These rare herbs had astonishing effects on healing injuries. Although they had not been refined through alchemy, their efficacy was incomparable to ordinary Healing Pills. Combined with these herbs, Arno's recovery speed significantly increased, his pale complexion gradually turning rosy, and the gruesome wounds on his chest quickly healed and scabbed over.
"These are nine leaves from the Nine Xian Spirit Wood. Since everyone’s injuries have healed, let’s take this opportunity to refine and absorb the essence of these leaves. I see that your physical strength has not yet reached the level of iron skin and bronze bones. Absorbing and refining these leaves should greatly enhance your physical strength."
Seeing that Arno had recovered, Bu Wei smiled slightly and took out nine golden leaves the size of fans from his Storage Ring, looking at everyone.
"Brent, each leaf of the Nine Xian Spirit Wood is worth thirty points. We should absorb them all," Mu Yan said, furrowing her brow slightly, contemplating but hesitating to speak further.
"Yes, these nine leaves are worth two hundred seventy points," Reynold nodded in agreement. Although he also wanted to quickly enhance his physical strength, points were crucial for their rankings in this trial. Two hundred seventy points could easily place any Trialist into the top thirty.
"It’s no problem; a mere few points can be plundered anytime. However, opportunities to strengthen ourselves are not always so favorable. Get ready to refine and absorb," Bu waved his hand dismissively.
Without further ado, he suddenly shook his arm, unleashing a tremendous force that shattered the nine leaves into powder. Among the powder, many specks of golden light emerged, rising amidst the surrounding flames with a hissing sound as if they were about to melt away.
Seeing this, Reynold and the others did not dare to delay; they quickly shot out energy to envelop a cluster of golden light and drew it back into their bodies for refinement. Bu immediately activated Fire's Right to disperse the surrounding flames, allowing the specks of golden light to enter his body through every pore for deep physical enhancement.
