SWOOSH!
With a flash of cold light, a head flew high into the air. The masked Martial Artist charging forward was dead before he even knew what happened, his body now a headless corpse.
DING!
"Congratulations, Player Tang Yi, for killing a masked Martial Artist. You have gained 73,233 Experience Value and 0 Battle God Value."
At the same time, a notification chimed in Tang Yi’s mind.
’This is the feeling! This is it!’
Just a moment ago, Tang Yi had been worried about the situation. But now, all he felt was excitement!
That’s right, excitement!
Even though Elder Lu and the expert from the Skeleton Warship were locked in a stalemate, even though the Chief Examiners in the sky were at a great disadvantage, even though countless examinees were facing a life-or-death trial, and even though the situation was as dire as it could be, an indescribable excitement still surged within Tang Yi.
It had been many days since he killed the members of the Wolf Heaven Mercenary Corps in the qualification exam. In all that time, Tang Yi hadn’t slain a single person or monster, nor had he gained a single point of Experience Value.
The pleasure of Experience Value flowing into his body had already started to fade from his memory.
As the pleasure returned, the satisfying sensation of Experience Value flowing into his body made Tang Yi want to groan. He found himself utterly captivated by it, to the point of addiction.
"Kill!"
The desire in his heart instantly flared. A cold glint erupted from Tang Yi’s eyes as his Battle Intent surged forth.
’The situation is extremely critical, but isn’t this also an opportunity? An opportunity to become stronger.’
"Gale Blade!"
SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!
Three Wind Blades appeared in Tang Yi’s hands once more. At that moment, three masked Martial Artists had just broken through the West Mansion’s blockade and stormed onto the ship, beginning to slaughter the examinees from the Thirty-Six Cities. Tang Yi casually flicked his wrist, sending the three Wind Blades flying. Instantly, three heads flew high into the air, and the three masked Martial Artists became three headless corpses.
"DING! Congratulations, Player Tang Yi, for killing a masked Martial Artist. You have gained 76,554 Experience Value and 0 Battle God Value."
"DING! Congratulations, Player Tang Yi, for killing a masked Martial Artist. You have gained 87,524 Experience Value and 0 Battle God Value."
"DING! Congratulations, Player Tang Yi, for killing a masked Martial Artist. You have gained 65,457 Experience Value and 0 Battle God Value."
"What’s going on? What happened!"
"My God! I’m not dead! Thank the heavens!"
"*Sob*, that scared me to death."
The few examinees Tang Yi had just saved had no idea what had happened; the masked Martial Artists chasing them had simply dropped dead on the spot.
Because Tang Yi had acted so discreetly, and the ship was in such chaos, no one except Mu Xianling, the three from the Tang Family, and Wang Bi’Er, who were standing behind him, realized that he was the one who had struck.
After being saved, those examinees didn’t have time to look for their savior. They just clutched their heads and fled in a panic.
The situation was simply too dangerous. Who had time to worry about who their savior was? Staying alive was the top priority.
In contrast to the outsiders’ ignorance, the few people behind Tang Yi had personally witnessed his actions.
Their reactions were all different.
Wang Bi’Er had seen Tang Yi’s power before, so she appeared rather calm. Standing behind him, she showed no signs of nervousness.
The three from the Tang Family—Tang Piaomiao, Tang Shu, and Tang Baijie—had faces filled with immense excitement and pride. They looked at Tang Yi with an expression of deep admiration.
Tang Yi!
’He’s the genius of our Tang Family!’
"Tang Yi... you!"
Mu Xianling’s reaction, however, was different. Her eyes were wide as she stared at Tang Yi, her face a mask of disbelief.
’Tang Yi just sent out something transparent, like a Qi Blade, and the masked Martial Artists instantly dropped dead?’
’If she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, she would never have believed it was possible to kill someone like that!’
’He killed them silently, leaving them utterly powerless to resist.’
’She knew Tang Yi was strong, but she had no idea he was *this* strong!’
’Those masked Martial Artists were at the Battle Spirit Level!’
’All the other examinees were utterly helpless before the masked Martial Artists, completely unable to fight back. And yet, Tang Yi had killed them with a casual wave of his hand?’
’If he can kill Battle Spirit Level experts so casually, just how powerful is he?!’
In that instant, Mu Xianling looked at Tang Yi’s not-so-imposing back, which now seemed immeasurably tall.
It felt as if standing behind this person would make one feel incredibly safe and completely at ease.
Mu Xianling even felt a sense of attachment growing in her heart for the figure before her.
This feeling made her a little shy, but it also brought an inexplicable sense of happiness.
CLASH!
On the Void Warship, blades flashed and blood splattered.
The experts from the West Mansion fell one by one as the masked Martial Artists charged onto the Void Warship. For the West Mansion and the examinees from the Thirty-Six Cities, the situation had become as grim as it could possibly be.
The West Mansion’s experts were too busy fending for their own lives to have any energy left to protect the examinees, who suffered heavy casualties.
Among them was Zhou Yuanlong, the young master of the Zhou Family who had once tried to flirt with Mu Xianling. He was a Five-star Battle Grandmaster and wielded his Zhou’s Staff Technique with such vigor that it stirred the air. He had even taken first place in the Yuanfeng City qualification exam.
With so many accolades to his name, he possessed extraordinary strength and could be considered one of the geniuses of his generation.
However, a genius like him lasted less than a few breaths before a masked Martial Artist pierced his neck with a silver spear, lifted him into the air, and tossed him off the Void Warship.
In an instant, his body vanished without a trace.
A genius of his generation had fallen, dying a miserable death under the masked Martial Artist’s silver spear.
"Ah! Don’t kill me, don’t kill me!"
Chased by a masked Martial Artist, one examinee was so scared he wet his pants. He repeatedly begged for mercy, hoping the masked Martial Artist would spare him.
But the masked Martial Artist paid him no heed. With a single swing of a Horse-cutting Saber, the examinee was sliced in two at the waist, dying a gruesome death.
And this tragically deceased examinee was none other than Su Four Sabers, a genius from Fengyue City who had once been considered one of its five seeded contestants.
He had placed in the top ten of Fengyue City’s qualification exam, his strength at the Battle Grandmaster level. He had dreamed of entering the West Mansion and becoming a respected expert. Unfortunately, others wouldn’t even give him the chance to take the entrance exam...
Witnessing these scenes, the examinees were all scared stiff. Their faces were pale, and their hearts were filled with terror.
Moreover, as the geniuses fell one after another, a wave of despair washed over the remaining examinees.
"Dead... Zi Wenxia... is dead just like that..."
A male examinee sat dazedly in front of a female examinee’s corpse, muttering to himself. He seemed to have gone into shock, completely unaware and not even flinching as a masked Martial Artist approached him.
