Chapter 449: Snatching The Championship (4)

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

It was time for the final match.

Both teams stepped into the ring.

Exhaling slightly, Su Yu was somewhat absent-minded. On his very first day in the academy, he had thought about defeating the number one student in the top 100 and becoming the new number one student. This day had arrived way too early.

He couldn't help but to praise himself for being such an incredible genius.

Zhan Hai...

Su Yu recalled someone and suddenly laughed. He seemed to have completely skipped over Lin Qing, the person he had first designated as his first obstacle to the top 100. For this match, Zhao Ming was personally acting as the referee.

After looking at the students of both teams, he warned with a grumpy tone, "I'm warning all of you. Don't kill anyone!"

It had been too embarrassing for him earlier. A student had nearly died under his watch!

Su Yu smiled, "Don't worry, Teacher. It won't happen."

Don't worry his ass. This kid was the most worrisome of them all. What a little bastard.

"Start!"

The moment the match began, Su Yu shot forward. Zhan Hai did the same. Su Yu was the only person in his eyes. But suddenly, an intense burst of source qi suddenly appeared beside him. Zhou Hao had noiselessly appeared beside him, akin to a silent hunter.

A punch was thrown Zhan Hai's way. That was an incomparably powerful punch. Zhou Hao's vitality surged, his source qi erupted, and all 144 of his acupoints shone brightly.

Zhan Hai was surprised. He had not expected someone other than Su Yu would join the fight. He reacted by sending a kick to the side.

Zhou Hao showed no inclination to avoid the kick. Instead, he put his head into the path of the incoming kick while his fist continued shooting forward. Zhan Hai was slightly shocked, but that did not stop him from reacting speedily. His cultural weapon, a sword, appeared. As for his kick, he had moved it away from Zhou Hao's head.

That was what Zhou Hao had been waiting for. He was betting on the fact that Zhan Hai wouldn't dare to kill. As far as he was concerned, a cultivator without the courage was nothing but garbage. Such a cultivator deserved to be killed.

Boom!

The punch struck Zhan Hai's leg, pushing him several meters back. By the time he stopped, his leg was already dyed red with blood. He frowned. This Zhou Hao was much stronger than he had imagined. He had to pull his attention away from Su Yu and focus on Zhou Hao instead.

Had this person gone crazy? Why was this person challenging him? He had been planning to fight Su Yu with all his strength and use the pressure to break through into the next realm.

Zhan Hai was not the only person to bleed from the exchange. In the process of landing a punch on Zhan Hai, Zhou Hao had also suffered a sword wound on his arm.

But he was completely indifferent. Almost immediately, he charged forward murderously.

"Kill!"

That roar of his caused even Zhan Hai's heart to shiver. He regained his clarity of mind almost immediately as he released his willpower and sent it toward Zhou Hao.

The willpower interruption dazed Zhou Hao momentarily, but he recovered almost instantly. His vitality surged and his source qi erupted as he spat a mouthful of blood out. He had actually bitten through the tip of his tongue just to wake himself from the willpower attack before continuing his charge forward.

He was akin to a mad beast that had broken free of its cage. The baleful and bloody aura coming from his opponent caused Zhan Hai to feel sick. Just what was up with this opponent? During that slight moment of distraction, he felt a chilly sensation coming from his back.

Fuck!

Zhan Hai cursed inwardly.

He had been trying to avoid ganging up on Su Yu, but Su Yu had turned around to do that to him instead. Yes. In such a short moment, Su Yu had kicked all four of Zhan Hai's teammates out of the ring.

Everything had happened too fast. Before any of the spectators even realized what was happening, they were already greeted with the sight of Zhan Hai being attacked by two mad beasts.

Yes. Two mad beasts.

The battles of Su Yu and Zhou Hao had always been brutal and bloody. And when the two of them joined hands, they were akin to a pack of wild wolves out on a hunt. The two attacked from two different directions. Despite not having worked together previously, they were able to work surprisingly well.

Right after Zhan Hai dealt with Su Yu's attack, an attack came toward his waist from Zhou Hao. The attack gave him the sensation of a crumbling mountain while the killing intent of his opponent was so intense that it almost felt like it would materialize into a physical form.

With a roar, Zhan Hai released his willpower to deal with his opponents. But at that exact moment, Su Yu's hammer descended, stunning him for a split second. During that moment, Zhou Hao clawed at him, spilling even more blood.

Su Yu and Zhou Hao were incredibly wild.

Zhan Hai's consciousness had been constantly subjected to the attack of their intense killing intent. And his sea of willpower had also endured a strike from Su Yu's hammer. The sheer fact that he was still conscious showed how strong he was. However, the hammer strike had still caused him to bleed from his seven orifices.

Advancement? Skysoar Realm? Forget it. He couldn't even concentrate anymore.

Zhou Hao was only a Great Strength cultivator, but he was too crazy. He fought in a suicidal manner, always aiming to take an injury just to injure his opponent. Any carelessness by Zhan Hai would immediately result in a new wound on his body.

...

The spectators were all stunned.

Was that really Zhan Hai?

Zhan Hai wasn't supposed to be that weak!

But Zhan Hai wasn't a particularly murderous combatant while both his opponents were fighting like wild animals. Both also worked well together while attacking in a suicidal manner. That was too annoying to deal with.

Eventually, Zhan Hai lost his temper and struck Zhou Hao with a palm attack, breaking several bones and causing Zhou Hao to cough blood. Zhan Hai was just about to turn around to deal with Su Yu when he felt a sharp pain in his arm.

It was only then that he realized that Zhou Hao had directly grabbed his arm before biting down, causing even more blood to flow.

Zhou Hao was fighting like a mad animal, but his eyes were still as clear as ever. When he noticed Zhan Hai turning to look at him, he slammed his head into Zhan Hai's face unhesitatingly.

With a bang, he turned Zhan Hai's face into a bloody face. Zhan Hai was furious. He landed a heavy attack on Zhou Hao's face, breaking Zhou Hao's nose. But Zhou Hao merely grinned before biting down on Zhan Hai's arm.

"You..."

Furious, Zhan Hai sent his sword toward Zhou Hao. This time, he was not holding back and was finally attacking to kill. But right that moment, he felt a chill on his neck.

A loud pop sounded.

A short saber swept past his neck. Blood started sputtering out of his neck.

Zhan Hai was further infuriated. Right that moment, Zhao Ming dragged Zhou Hao away to save him from death. Even when being dragged away, Zhou Hao still had a chunk of Zhan Hai's flesh in his mouth.

Zhan Hai's arm was hurting badly while his sword attack had failed to hit anything since Zhou Hao had been rescued by the referee. He did not have the chance to do anything else before he felt another sharp pain in his back. With a boom, he crashed outside the ring.

He had an incomparably ugly expression. He looked at the grinning Zhou Hao before looking at Su Yu.

With a smile, Su Yu said, "Since this isn't a top 100 challenge match, I won't be playing around with you, Senior Brother."

Zhan Hai didn't know what to feel. He had been kicked out of the ring just like that?

Fuck!

He had encountered two lunatics! He didn't even know what to say.

Not only had he been defeated, he had also gained dozens of wounds on his body. Each wound was deep enough that his bones could be seen. That crazy Zhou Hao had even torn off two chunks of flesh from his arm.

He was actually much stronger than what he had shown during the fight. He had been intending to use Su Yu as the pressure to push him into the next realm. But he had been defeated before he could even use his real strength!

He was so angry he felt like killing someone. He couldn't accept a defeat like this.

When he looked at Zhou Hao again, he felt helpless. That lunatic was standing there while grinning happily. That was a true madman. No, both of them were lunatics.

That killing intent was so intense even someone like him felt slightly fearful. He could understand why Zhou Hao had such intense killing intent, but what was up with Su Yu? How had he gained such a baleful killing intent as well?

Zhou Hao was a barbarian who had grown up among beasts. Zhan Hai had heard of that before. But how about Su Yu? His killing intent gave Zhan Hai the sensation of facing death itself.

He couldn't even understand how he had been defeated. That crazy Zhou Hao had not done anything throughout the tournament. Who would expect him to suddenly attack? All the spectators were similarly stunned.

They had all believed that the final match would be a personal fight between Su Yu and Zhan Hai. They had even believed that this would decide who the true number one student would be. But just like that, the final confrontation had been ruined by Zhou Hao?

A mere Great Strength cultivator?

Due to the interruption by Zhou Hao, Zhan Hai had ended up defeated even though he had ultimately managed to deal heavy injuries to Zhou Hao. Even the spectators felt bad for Zhan Hai.

How pitiful.

Jiang Mu and the others sympathized with him, but they also felt like laughing. Anyone would be angry after something like that happened. Zhan Hai's advancement plan had been ruined just like that.

He wasn't even given the opportunity to focus on the fight. How could he break through in such a situation? Even if he really tried to force a breakthrough, it would have probably failed due to the disturbance caused by the two mad animals he was facing.

To deal with him, he would be forced to split his attention two ways. That was basically a situation where a breakthrough was impossible. Not far away, Liu Hong was completely speechless.

It had ended just like that?

He kept having a feeling that the single character faction had gained nothing from this tournament. Sure, he had also expected that Su Yu would win. But he had expected Su Yu to emerge victorious after a bitter battle. But now...what the fuck was this? Even Zhou Hao had suffered more injuries than him.

That was not what Liu Hong had expected. This kind of ending would cause him to be questioned by the single character faction. After all, he had failed to even cause Su Yu to be injured.

They had ended up giving away five slots for no return whatsoever. Liu Hong could already feel the gazes of Elder Sun and the others behind him. He felt a chill creeping up his spine.

"This fellow is too strong. He's making my life hard."

Liu Hong grumbled inwardly. He was going to be in trouble.

Damn that kid. Couldn't the kid suffer some injuries to put the elders in a better mood? He should have reminded the kid before this and offered some merit points for the kid to pretend to be injured.

From the start of the tournament until the end, not a single thing that could please the elders had happened. Instead, they had been infuriated again and again.

Liu Hong might be feeling helpless, but when everyone looked at him, he still opened his mouth, "The victory goes to Liu He's team."

Yes. That was his final struggle. Calling them Liu He's team instead of Su Yu's team.
