Chapter 307: Plan To Kill In Secret! (Fixed)
Sage smiled, and returned to his seat.
“Your blade attack had only slightly missed, otherwise you would have been able to take out that attack.” When Caelum sat down, Atticus who was sitting right next to him suddenly said.
Caelum froze a little, he looked at Atticus with a complicated look.
The Dean Of the Malevolent Frost academy smiled as well, although Caelum had lost, but he had at least wounded Sage which was not bad at all. And they had Atticus, who still hadn’t started yet.
Magnus was slightly surprised by Sage’s power, but he did not care much about it. In this competition, there were only two people he wanted to beat, one of them was Xietien, who used to be one of the top four demon genius. Once he was able to beat him, he would be able to officially get the demon genius title, otherwise it would not be proper.
But, he was fairly confident about it, he knew that he was only lacking a ceremony of some sort. Of course, before everything else, he would have to take care of Tyrion, and destroy the Primordial Fiendgod body, making his life miserable.
Unfortunately, it was not the time for that yet. If he rushed to challenge him, then it would be very suspicious, people would think that he wanted revenge for Rexis.
Then it might give his opponent an excuse to refuse to take up the challenge, he might even say that he had used too much of his energy and still needed time to recover, those who did not know any better would believe him and might even support him.
If Magnus decided to kill someone, he would not leave his opponent with any chance to back out.
‘I will let you live for a little bit longer.’ Magnus tried to control his temper.
The competing performance was a great opportunity for those students from different academies and powerful parties to learn, it not only let them feel the pressure, but it also offered opportunities to achieve breakthroughs. Even if they were not able to have any breakthroughs, it would at least prepare them for their future improvements.
All of a sudden, the whole Arena turned quiet as they saw Kyrex, the second ranked Supernal student of the Crimson Sun Convenant walk onto the stage.
“It’s Kyrex! Another demon genius level student.”
“I wonder who he is going to challenge, is it going to be Jordan from Chaotic Moon Valley? Or Magnus?”
“Impossible. The Crimson Sun Convenant academy and the Chaotic Moon Valley had been quite close lately, and their students had been hanging out together quite often, it is very unlikely for them to challenge each other. I think, he is going to challenge Xietien from the Death Gate academy, the Hanshan demon genius.”
“Eh, how did I not think of that?! Although Xietien is not as powerful as when he was at his peak, he still has his reputation. Without beating him, it is impossible to steal his title.”
Hearing the chattering around him, Kyrex sneered at Xietien, “Xietien, today is the time for you to hand over your demon genius title. Stop hoarding it.”
Xietien walked onto the stage without any expression, he said, “I never cared about the demon genius title However, if you want to take something from me, you would have to ask if I would like to give it to you or not.”
“Haha, do you think it is still two years ago? With your power now, you are no longer qualified for that title, you should let the people who are worthy to have it.” Kyrex sneered.
“Since you are so confident about it, then come and get it. However, I am afraid that you would not like the result.”
Xietien stood thirty steps away from Kyrex, he was wearing blue round-neck and had nothing in his hands. He looked just like any other guy in the street. But when one looked closer, they could see that he had the energy waves of an ancient beast that had survived for centuries, waiting to take on whatever that came at it.
Tyrion said to Lucia, “It seems like brother Luo had hidden it quite well.”
Lucia said, “You can see it?”
“Only an instinct. Although I don’t like Kyrex, he’s truly powerful. I am afraid this is going to be a tough battle.” Tyrion scanned the two on the stage with his sense, he could sense the completely different aura being emitted by those two. If you said that Xietien was a peaceful ancient beast, then Kyrex would be a mad volcano, waiting for a moment to explode and burn everything around him.
“If you are able to handle this attack without backing out, then you are eligible for me to use my full power.” Kyrex’s body slowly floated into the air, which gave people the impression that he was extremely relaxed. However, once he threw out a kick, that feeling had completely changed.
That kick was like the outburst of a volcano, that aggressiveness made everyone present feel that something bad was going to happen.
“This attack, I will take it!”
Xietien’s pupils suddenly changed color, a bright purple light poured out and formed into a bridge-like purple Qi behind his back, and continued to spread. It looked like it was going to bring something horrible.
“The ninth stage of [Ethereal Purple Domain]! Ethereal Purple Qi in the East!”
The head elder’s eyes widened, as he said word by word.
Hearing him, Tyrion started to think. The [Ethereal Purple Domain] was one of the most fascinating low rank Earth Realm combat arts in the Death Gate academy. The eighth level was known as the [Six-Eye Purple Heart], and the ninth stage was known as the [Purple Qi in the East].
Once someone reached the ninth stage, there would be purple Qi visibly being absorbed into their body which would massively increase their fighting strength. Rumour had it that once someone reached the peak of the ninth stage, they could even bring out a bunch of lotus flowers made of purple Qi, which could be used as a defensive art.
————————————————————————————————————————–
A series of thunderous booms rose in the air. That was just a simple kick, yet, it managed to release waves of violently and terrifying power that roared towards Xietien like a descending mountain axe.
Xietien eyes glistened and he stood perfectly still and thrust both of his arms forward. Large amounts of dust that had been absorbed by Ethereal Purple Qi, condensed into a gigantic millstone. It blocked the streams of power released by that kick, it was as tremendous as a volcanic eruption.
In the next moment, a dazzling purple light burst out, it was so bright that people couldn’t even directly look at; thunderous booms came right after that, and even intensely shook the entire area.
“He did it! Xietien blocked the attack!”
“Judging from what happened just now, Xietien had achieved the ninth-level of the [Ethereal Purple Domain], no wonder he was so confident about fighting against Kyrex.”
” it seems like he wouldn’t let anyone take his demon genius title away!”
“You’re right, after all Xietien has built a solid foundation before, even if he had been temporarily surpassed, he can definitely last longer than ordinary fighters when it comes to a battle.”
Although most of the people were shocked, none of them felt too unexpected about Xietien’s performance. He was the famous Death demonic genius, how could he be weak? Besides, as he tried to push Xietien back with only a single kick, it more or less made it seem that Kyrex had been looking down on Xietien. But then again, no one knew exactly how much power Kyrex used.
Jordan, who had once competed against Xietien with three moves, showed a faint smile. ‘Back then, I only used eighty percent of my power, now you’re finally qualified to have an even fight against me.’
The Crimson Sun Convenant academy’s Head Elder now had a very dark face. He previously thought that Kyrex could definitely win against Xietien, but he never thought that Xietien would suddenly become as powerful and potentially dangerous as he was before. Although his strength stayed at the same level, he abruptly achieved the ninth-level of the Ethereal Purple Domain.
Fortunately, he hadn’t reached the peak level of the ninth-level yet, otherwise, he would become nearly invincible non the same realm unless his opponent was at a much higher level than him.”
“The Death Gate academy is rising again!” another Crimson Sun Convenant academy’s instructor said with a tinge of worry.
Their Head Elder snorted coldly and responded silently, “We will just kill these damn kids for good, so that the Death Gate academy can never raise again, and we will tread on them forever.”
“Exactly, once the Death Gate academy rises, they will definitely cause trouble for everyone, so we have to prevent that from happening.”
Their voices had been condensed into a slight stream of power, and weren’t transmitted out, however, Tyrion sensed a fierce killing intent from them.
