55 I Refuse
In the square.
The two tutors who had been paying attention to Lin Shen also saw the scene of the four of them in the hall at the first moment. Their expressions changed.
“Yan Xing and Xue Feng. I didn’t expect them to meet so soon.”
“This must be the first batch of candidates to find the altar.”
Ke Ya looked at the rankings.
Currently, most of the examinees’ scores were between 100 and 200.
Even Zhao Xueying and the other three who were ranked in the top four only had more than 300 points. The difference between them was only 20 to 30 points.
At this moment, whoever obtained the formation flag would immediately be able to leave the others far behind.
Therefore, be it Yan Xing or Xue Feng, they were determined to get the flag. There would definitely be a fierce battle between the two.
As for Lin Shen and the other examinee…
Ke Ya looked at Lin Shen on the screen and shook his head slightly.
In the battle just now, Lin Shen had demonstrated his outstanding ability.
If there were other candidates, even if they were also at the seventh level of Qi Transformation, Lin Shen would still have a high chance of keeping the flag with his exquisite martial techniques.
However, his opponents were Yan Xing and Xue Feng!
The strength of these two people had already far surpassed the other examinees. They were existences on a completely different level.
It was basically impossible for Lin Shen to get the flag.
His best option was to leave the hall immediately to avoid being involved in the battle between Yan Xing and Xue Feng.
Otherwise, even if he wasn’t defeated and eliminated by the two of them, once he was injured or exhausted, it would still have negative effects on his future action.
However, after a while, Lin Shen and the other boy on the screen remained motionless, having no intention to leave.
Seeing this, Ke Ya frowned and sighed softly.
“Greed is a great enemy…”
…
Hearing Yan Xing’s greeting, Xue Feng only glanced at him and didn’t respond.
Yan Xing was familiar with Xue Feng’s personality, so he didn’t mind. He turned to look at Lin Shen and another boy and suddenly said,
“Xue Feng, let’s get rid of the other two first, then we’ll see who’s better. Whoever wins will take the formation flag. How about that?”
This time, Xue Feng quickly responded and nodded without hesitation.
“Alright!”
The other boy’s expression changed drastically.
Although he was a cultivator at the seventh level of Qi Transformation and thought he was quite strong, he had no chance of winning against Yan Xing or Xue Feng.
However, he couldn’t bear to give up on the formation flag just like that.
After all, that was a total of 200 points!
As long as he obtained it, he had a high chance of entering the top ten!
While the boy was hesitating, Xue Feng had already rushed toward him without a word.
At the same time,
Yan Xing also strode towards Lin Shen and looked down at him.
“Lin Shen, I’ll give you a chance. If you turn around and leave now, I promise I won’t attack you!”
In Yan Xing’s understanding, it was impossible for Lin Shen, who was only at the sixth level of Qi Transformation, to be his match.
If not for the fact that he had to recruit Lin Shen in the future, Yan Xing wouldn’t have said anything else and would have attacked right away.
As long as Lin Shen wasn’t stupid, he would definitely accept Yan Xing’s suggestion and leave the hall.
However, the answer was beyond his expectations. Lin Shen smiled faintly and said,
“I refuse.”
Yan Xing’s eyes narrowed, and a dark look flashed across his eyes.
However, he quickly returned to normal. There was a hint of mockery and sharpness in his gaze as he looked at Lin Shen.
“Since that’s the case, don’t blame me for being merciless!”
Since Lin Shen wouldn’t cherish the opportunity, Yan Xing didn’t intend to hold back.
He deemed Lin Shen a guy without self-awareness. Even if Lin Shen had some talent, Yan Xing didn’t think Lin Shen was qualified to follow him.
He might as well eliminate Lin Shen here and let Lin Shen understand the difference between commoners and disciples of influential families!
As his thoughts raced, Yan Xing had already made up his mind. He suddenly exerted strength under his feet and rushed out like lightning. His speed was astonishing. In the blink of an eye, he crossed more than ten meters and instantly arrived in front of Lin Shen. He slapped out heavily!
A blazing wave of air swept out like a violent wave, attacking Lin Shen with a mighty roar like thunder.
Before the shockwave arrived, the temperature in the surrounding air had already soared rapidly, to the extent that the air faintly distorted. This clearly showed how shocking the might of this strike was!
Yan Xing attacked with all his might. With the combination of the eighth level of Qi Transformation and Mastery in the Blazing Sun Palm, even someone as powerful as Xue Feng didn’t dare to take it head-on.
At this moment, both Xue Feng, who had been watching from the corner of his eye, and all the people watching the battle outside, thought about the same thing.
“Lin Shen is finished!”
Regret, confusion, ridicule, gloating… Everyone had different expressions.
...
Only Lin Shen, the person involved, had a calm expression.
Facing Yan Xing’s fierce attack, he didn’t retreat but advanced. He also struck out with his palm.
In the next second, as if a blazing sun was slowly rising, a dazzling scarlet light suddenly erupted. An even more violent heatwave appeared out of thin air, crushing the heatwave that Yan Xing swung out. Then, it swept forward without stopping. Under Yan Xing’s stunned gaze, it crashed into him with an overwhelming force!
BOOM!
Yan Xing was thrown far away like a kite with a broken string. One could vaguely see his body enveloped by a faint green halo at some point.
Before he could fall to the ground, he turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the sky.
The hall fell silent.
Not far away, Xue Feng and another boy had stopped and were staring at them in disbelief.
“Yan Xing has lost… How’s that possible…”
The boy swallowed and looked at Lin Shen as if he had seen a ghost.
Even Xue Feng widened his eyes in shock. He was no longer as calm as he was a moment ago.
...
He would never have thought the battle would turn out like that.
Not only did Yan Xing fail to defeat his opponent, he was even eliminated by his opponent!
How was this possible?!
For a moment, Xue Feng wondered if he was hallucinating.
Yan Xing was a cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Transformation. Even Xue Feng couldn’t defeat Yan Xing in a single move!
“Where did this person come from?
“Why is he so powerful, but I’ve never heard anything about him before?”
While Xue Feng was shocked, the spectators outside were also dumbfounded.
Most of the eliminated candidates hadn’t left. Instead, they stayed in the square to watch the battle. Therefore, they saw the scene clearly. The crowd instantly erupted into a huge commotion.
“Holy crap! Yan Xing was defeated!”
“How is that possible… Am I seeing things?”
“Who is this person? He actually defeated Yan Xing in one move!”
“I know who he is. He’s Lin Shen from Willow Academy, but why did I hear he’s only at the sixth level of Qi Transformation?”
“Impossible. No matter how I look at it, his strength is far beyond the sixth level!”
Exclamations rang out continuously.
Everyone was shocked by the scene just now.
Yan Xing was one of the four seeded candidates in this examination. He had a chance of obtaining the chief position!
However, he was defeated by the unknown Lin Shen in one move!
If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn’t have believed such a ridiculous thing!
At this moment, a light flashed in the square, and Yan Xing appeared out of thin air.
He stood rooted to the ground in adrift, as if he had yet to understand what had happened.
It was not until a few seconds later that Yan Xing suddenly came back to his senses. His face instantly turned pale.
