Boom!

Gripping his spear, Xiao Kun charged forward in an incomparably mighty manner. In his hand, the short black spear was akin to a swift bolt of black lightning, releasing terrifying power.

Many people were astonished. It was another top unique art, the Eagle Spear Art. Once activated, it was akin to an eagle soaring in the sky and had the power to tear apart the world.

However, Lin Xun didn’t show a tinge of fear even under such an attack. The Rippling Jade Blade emitted a blinding glow as Lin Xun operated the Six Word Blade to its full majesty.

Sometimes it was wilful and unrestrained like a rain shower and strong gale. Sometimes it was gentle like a gurgling stream. Sometimes it could destroy everything in its way like a raging wave. Sometimes it froze the space over thousands of miles like snow engulfing everything.

It was changeable, formless, and unpredictable!

Compared to the battle of fists, the blade and spear showdown between Lin Xun and Xiao Kun was even more intense and fierce. One was graceful and swift and could both attack and defend, while the other was full of heart-shaking power.

The battle could be considered an extremely rare duel between cultivators in the True Martial Stage. Xiao Kun was a young talent and both his Howling Wind Killing Fist and Eagle Spear Art were secret ancestral arts with extremely destructive power.

In the past, Lin Xun might not have shown his true skills and had even been accused of cheating and criticized for being first in the quarterly assessment; however, the fact that he was on par with Xiao Kun despite being only at the eighth layer True Martial Stage surprised many people.

Bang!

The deafening collision sound was similar to two mountains clashing. It constantly generated terrifying shock waves of aeth power, forcing the nearby students to draw back again and again.

However, they were most shocked that Xiao Kun still hadn’t defeated Lin Xun. Furthermore, Lin Xun was gradually turning the situation around and the battle seemed to be evenly matched!

Many students from other campgrounds realized that Lin Xun wasn’t as ordinary as they had thought.

On the other hand, the 39th Campground students’ expressions turned complicated.

Around a month ago, on the first day that Lin Xun broke through to the eighth layer True Martial Stage, he had defeated Wen Mingxiu, who had an outstanding score in the camp.

As time passed, Lin Xun grew stronger and stronger, and his score in the camp subsequently improved. He was already among the top scorers just before the quarterly assessment. No one knew what sort of level Lin Xun’s strength had increased to.

Despite this, the vast majority of people still couldn’t imagine how Lin Xun could have taken first place in the quarterly assessment!

It was like an unbelievable miracle, and it made many people suspicious of Lin Xun and believe that he had cheated.

Only when they saw that Lin Xun was evenly matched with Xiao Kun did they finally realize that Lin Xun had indeed become different from before!

The strength that he had shown was enough to compete with Ning Meng, Shi Yu, Qi Can, and Gong Ming!

“That guy improves so quickly. Perhaps it was a mistake to become his enemy…” muttered Mu Lengxin with a complicated expression.

“Oh, you think I’m wrong?” Qi Can’s face darkened as he shot a cold glance at him.

“No, I’m just lamenting.” Mu Lengxin hurriedly shook his head.

“Hmph, remember that guy is vindictive and we are like fire and water. So, don’t think otherwise.” Qi Can clearly warned.

Mu Leng fell silent.

“I didn’t expect him to have grown so much stronger since last month’s assessment.” Lei Xinyue frowned as she felt an oppressive pressure from Lin Xun.

“He is originally very strong and his blade art is very unique. It is a true killing art. It is a pity that he is only at the True Martial Stage and can’t display the blade art to its full ability.”

Ye Xiaoqi narrowed his small eyes and a serious look crossed his chubby face. “I had fought against him in last month’s assessment. It was also the first time that I saw a blade art comparable to my Ye Family’s Embroidery Soul Blade Art. If there’s an opportunity, I really want to fight him again to see whose blade art is stronger.”

The other students, including Lei Xinyue and Di Jun, all felt a chill in their hearts. They didn’t expect Ye Xiaoqi to regard Lin Xun so highly.

“He is indeed very powerful.”

Gong Ming, who hadn’t uttered a word, suddenly said aloud. “I have had a true battle with him. He was weaker than me at the time but his courage and fighting spirit are extremely strong. Even I was under great pressure then. Otherwise, our 40th Campground wouldn’t have lost.”

Gong Ming was one of the strongest in the 40th Campground so everyone was speechless when they heard his appraisal of Lin Xun. Their emotions tumbled like waves.

“Ugh, it’s so infuriating to watch.” Ning Meng fumed.

“Haha, I feel that, after this battle, everyone will realize that Lin Xun truly deserves his reputation.” Shi Yu softly smiled, looking relaxed and leisurely.

“What do you mean?” Ning Meng said with a deep frown, “If he can’t beat Xiao Kun, who would believe that he actually won first place in the quarterly assessment?”

“Do you use your brain before you speak?” Shi Yu sneered. “Which one of us wasn’t fully equipped with aeth tools and armaments for the quarterly assessment? If the assessment was based on pure combat strength, who would have the confidence to kill a brute warrior?”

After a pause, he continued, “Smart people would have realized this. If Lin Xun had cheated, do you think the instructors in the camp couldn't tell?”

Ning Meng frowned. “But this battle with Xiao Kun is too infuriating. I would have beaten that guy till he begged for mercy if I was on the battlefield instead!”

Shi Yu said, “Regardless of what the outcome of the battle is, Xiao Kun can’t stop Lin Xun from rapidly improving.”

Ning Meng nodded.

They both knew that Lin Xun only lacked time.

When Lin Xun broke through to the ninth layer True Martial stage, he wouldn’t be inferior to any of the other top students, let alone Xiao Kun!

He had tremendous potential.

Xiao Kun had reached the pinnacle of the ninth layer True Martial Stage and held secret ancestral arts yet he still failed to suppress Lin Xun. Even if he won the battle in the end, it would be humiliating for him.

Anyone with a little intelligence would see this.

……

The battle continued, and after the time it took to make a cup of tea, Xiao Kun was burning with anger. His face grew more and more overcast. He also knew that it was humiliating that he couldn’t defeat Lin Xun who was only at the eighth layer True Martial Stage.

Xiao Kun had thought that he could easily defeat Lin Xun with his higher cultivation level. He thought he could win even by wearing down Lin Xun. Who would have thought that…

Lin Xun still hasn’t shown any signs of weakness!

How is that possible?

Don’t tell me he already possesses strength beyond the ninth layer True Martial despite only being at the eight layer True Martial?

As the battle progressed, Xiao Kun was most terrified when he sensed that Lin Xun not only had abundant aeth power, but it also was pure and strong and of a much higher grade than his!

Otherwise, Xiao Kun could have easily suppressed Lin Xun with just his absolute strength and wouldn’t need to activate any unique or secret arts!

It was unbelievable that an eighth layer True Martial student had such a solid cultivation foundation and high-grade aeth power.

At this point of the battle, Xiao Kun began to panic. How would the battle turn out if Lin Xun was at the ninth layer True Martial Stage?

He didn’t dare to imagine!

……

The atmosphere gradually changed, and many people realized that Xiao Kun was in a troubling situation.

On the contrary, Lin Xun, who they had doubted, showed astonishing tenacious power as the battle progressed.

Many people found it hard to accept the situation.

Suddenly, an indifferent and ethereal voice resounded across the battlefield—

“There is no need to continue the battle, Xiao Kun, you can step down.”

As the voice echoed, everyone’s vision blurred before a graceful figure emerged on the battlefield.

Shua!

A beautiful, fair hand gently gripped Xiao Kun’s black spear and with a slight flick, Xiao Kun was uncontrollably sent flying.

At the same time, Lin Xun felt his blade had frozen and a terrifying force pulled him to one side.

Who is it?

Xiao Kun and Lin Xun were both startled. They immediately cast their gaze to the beautiful figure that suddenly appeared on the battlefield.

Everyone else also subconsciously shifted their gaze that way.

It was a girl around 14 to 15 year of age. Her long black hair flowed down her slender back and waist like a waterfall. Her beautiful brows curved like the crescent moon and her nose was perfectly straight. Her lips were soft and smooth like a ripe cherry and her fair, oval face looked ethereal and delicate.

Standing casually, she exuded an unworldly, graceful and pure aura. She was a celestial beauty superior to all mortal beings.

Bai Lingxi!

Her name immediately emerged In everyone’s mind. Everyone felt surprised and ashamed.

It was as though they weren’t facing a young girl but an ethereal fairy untainted by a speck of dust. The atmosphere was still for a rare moment.

Xiao Kun was originally annoyed that the battle was interrupted but his anger immediately dissipated when he saw it was Bai Lingxi. A tinge of bitterness remained on his face.

Lin Xun couldn’t help but frown when Bai Lingxi appeared. He had seen Xia Zhi’s incomparably stunning beauty so Bai Lingxi’s ethereal beauty didn’t elicit much of a reaction from him.

“Miss, do you know that our honor is on the line in this battle? What you have done is too much.” Lin Xun said rudely with a serious frown.

Many people’s expressions turned strange. What honor? Aren’t you fighting for the 2,000 Lengning Pills?

Also, the battle hasn’t ended and Xiao Kun might not lose. That guy is too arrogant!

The onlookers were most infuriated by what Lin Xun said to Bai Lingxi. They felt that Lin Xun didn’t have any gentlemanly manners and that he was disrespecting Bai Lingxi!
