Fairness?
Fairness doesn’t exist in this world!
If you are powerful, then what you say is fair will become fair. And what you say is unfair becomes unfair. If anyone dares to utter a single word of dissent, you blast them to death with a punch!
The Hai family was domineering.
Extremely domineering.
Their arrogance ran unchecked. The Misty Cloud Academy was almost under their full control!
Hai Fengtian mobilized all his power to target Luo Tian.
Just to stop Luo Tian’s advance!
He wanted Luo Tian dead to make Huangfu Jue lose hope!
This step seemed simple, but an immense energy of machinations was needed!
Luo Tian clenched his fists and muttered, “Hai Fengtian wants to stop me, right? Then I will make him watch with his own eyes as the Hai family disciples die one by one at my feet!”
Luo Tian had never thought of retreating!
Never!
Moreover, he thought of a plan to upgrade his physical body just now!
It was a bit crazy, but this could rapidly increase the level of his physical body, also preparing him to use the Dragon God Forbidden Technique.
He planned on using the suppression barrier to temper his physical body!
Luo Tian had asked Illusion Fairy about this idea. Under the premise of not dying, it was the best way to temper his physical body right now!
Yu Tianhai said heavily, “Fine, I believe in you, because you are a walking miracle!”
Ren Xiaoyao wanted to say something, “Luo Tian...”
But he clenched his teeth but didn’t continue speaking, only looking at Luo Tian with a heavy gaze.
Liu Zhan looked solemn and said, “Boss, I believe in you, too. Explode those pieces of trash from the Hai family.”
With tears in her eyes, Huangfu Ya said, “I, I, I believe in you too.”
On the judges’ bench.
Hai Fengtian’s face was gloomy as he thought to himself, “The power of the Hai family is beyond all your imaginations. Fighting against the Hai family? I’ll fight you until you’re dead! Luo Tian, I want to see how many times you can endure the crushing force of the suppression barrier!”
Immediately after, he whispered to a Hai family disciple beside him, “Pass down my order: after entering the barrier, do not rush to attack. Stall for time as much as possible. The longer the time drags on, the stronger the barrier’s crushing force he has to endure becomes.”
That was how a suppression barrier worked.
The longer the time, the greater the crushing pressure.
There was a limit to the endurance of one’s physical body.
Luo Tian fainting when he walked out of the barrier was the best proof.
“Luo Tian, just you wait and see!”
“Hai Xiao wins, advancing to the next round!”
“Huang Tianyu wins, advancing to the next round!”
“Liu Zhan wins...”
“Huangfu Ya wins...”
The first round of the ranking battles finished quickly.
Liu Zhan and Huangfu Ya became unusually serious. Their hearts were moved by watching Luo Tian fight with his life on the line.
Especially when facing disciples of the Hai family.
Huangfu Ya originally stopped at the point of victory, but now her attacks were a bit heavier!
Just because she was angry!
The second round of the ranking competition began.
The first to appear was Luo Tian.
“Luo Tian versus Hai Dali, barrier stage number eighteen.”
As soon as the voice faded, Ren Xiaoyao became furious even though he knew it would be the same stage. His face turned crimson, and his sword-like eyebrows looked ready to fly off his face. With intense killing intent, he shouted grimly, “The Hai family is really impressive! Ghost Servant, Hai Xingyuan... so many Hai family disciples dealing with one Luo Tian! Your skins are truly thicker than normal!”
Hai Fengtian smiled coldly and said, “Old Ghost Ren, do you have any evidence? If you don’t have evidence, I can report you for slander. At that time, I’ll see if you can even remain a lowly teacher at the Misty Cloud Academy!”
Ren Xiaoyao showed no weakness and said, “Go ahead and report me! Others might fear your Hai family, but I, this old man, am not afraid!”
“It’s him again?”
“How does he still dare to go up and fight?”
“Is he really not afraid of death?”
“You guys probably don’t know yet, right? This kid offended the Hai family. They just changed the academy rules; if he dares not to compete, he will lose the qualifications to join the Misty Cloud Academy. Once he leaves Misty Cloud City, he will immediately be hunted down by the Hai family.”
“So you’re saying he has no choice?”
“The only choice is to keep fighting and keep winning all the way. Only by joining the Misty Cloud Academy will the academy protect him. But before he officially joins, the academy definitely won’t step forward to protect him.”
“Sigh~... Of all the people to offend, he had to offend the Hai family. Now, whether he wants to or not, he’s going to die.”
“Offending the Hai family in the Central Continent is no different from offending the King of Hell.”
People were discussing this in the crowd.
Some were sympathetic, some mocked him, and others were simply there to watch a show.
If Luo Tian were gone, the martial artists competing would have more hope of advancing.
After all, Luo Tian’s strength was plain to see!
Inside the barrier, Hai Dali stood far away and mocked, “Luo Tian, the taste of this barrier’s pressure isn’t that great, huh? Hahaha...”
“Dying at my hands is an honor for you.”
“However, I won’t let you die that quickly. This barrier was prepared specifically for you. It would be a pity if you didn’t enjoy it properly, right? Hahaha...”
He didn’t attack and didn’t get close.
He stood far away, arms crossed over his chest with a smug smile on his face.
Luo Tian was drenched in sweat. His newly changed clothes were soaked through, and bright red blood was seeping out into the sweat. His healed wounds were being torn open again by the crushing pressure of the barrier. Before long, his sweat turned red, dripping drop by drop onto the ground.
“A stalling tactic?”
Luo Tian’s body was like an iron mountain. Looking at Hai Dali in the distance, he said with difficulty, “Humph~! I think you’re just too afraid to come over, right?”
Internally, Luo Tian was feeling joyful.
Stalling was indeed very uncomfortable for him.
His physical body had to endure the crushing pressure of the barrier, but for his physique, this was extremely beneficial.
Hai Dali laughed, “Goading me won’t work. Luo Tian, I am not Hai Hong. I won’t fall for your trap. Just enjoy the pressure of the suppression barrier for now, hahaha... Since the match has no time limit anyway.”
Luo Tian’s body sank down, and blood seeped out from the corner of his mouth.
Seeing this, Hai Fengtian immediately laughed smugly, “Haha... I thought you were tough, but is this all you’ve got? Luo Tian, this is only the beginning. The power of the suppression barrier will only increase. Eventually, it will crush your physical body until you explode, hahaha... Keep stalling, I want to watch him get crushed to pieces by the barrier’s pressure!”
Receiving Hai Fengtian’s order, Hai Dali mocked even louder, “Luo Tian, what is a country bumpkin like you doing running all the way to Misty Cloud City? And you even provoked our Second Young Master. Isn’t that just courting your own death?”
“Bang~!”
Luo Tian suddenly crossed his legs and sat down.
His eyes were wide with rage.
Illusion Fairy asked, “Have you really decided to do this?”
Luo Tian replied in his heart, “Yes. Just as you said, the level of my physical body is too low. This suppression barrier is a rare cultivation opportunity for me. I can clearly sense the breathing of every single pore on my body, and I can feel the changes in my flesh under this immense pressure.”
“Illusion Fairy, do it!”
“I can take it!”
After a moment of contemplation, Illusion Fairy said slowly, “Alright, I’m starting!”
The suppression barrier itself was an extreme method of cultivation.
Just like being in a gravity chamber.
However, using this kind of barrier in a competition was particularly insidious and vicious. When a person is suppressed inside the barrier, one naturally cannot fight with their full strength, which can be fatal for anyone. But Hai Fengtian actually ordered the Hai family disciples not to attack and to use stalling tactics.
This played completely into Luo Tian’s hands.
To use Luo Tian’s words, Hai Fengtian was a pig.
You’re a pig, right?
A very genuine pig at that!
Illusion Fairy was stirring slightly in Luo Tian’s sea of consciousness, chanting something in a low voice.
Suddenly...
“Boom~!”
“Boom~!”
“Boom~!”
Several thunderclaps rang out within Luo Tian’s body.
“Pressure increased by one hundred percent,” Illusion Fairy said softly.
“Puff~!”
Luo Tian spat out a mouthful of black blood, his body teetering on the verge of collapse.
“Hahaha...”
“Can’t handle it anymore, right?” Hai Dali laughed loudly. He was incredibly excited as he took a few steps forward.
Hai Fengtian was just like him, laughing exceptionally joyfully. He then shouted, “Don’t go forward! Just let the barrier’s pressure crush him until he explodes, hahaha... He poses no threat to you whatsoever! He can’t move inside the barrier even if he wanted to!”
Hai Dali immediately retreated and said, “As you command.”
His hands were itching to fight, but he held back.
Luo Tian looked up with a ferocious gaze. Seeing that Hai Dali didn’t come forward, he coldly sneered at him before shouting in his heart, “Again!”
Illusion Fairy made a thought, “Increasing pressure by 200 percent!”
“Boom~!”
Luo Tian’s face turned as pale as paper. His limbs, bones, blood vessels, acupoints, and even every single cell in his body were enduring immense crushing pressure. They struggled fiercely against the powerful suppression, undergoing a transformation in the process.
“Not enough! Make it stronger!” Luo Tian roared out.
Illusion Fairy increased the pressure once more, “Increasing pressure by 300 percent!”
“Pak~...”
Luo Tian’s body sank like he was collapsing into the ground. It was as if his body was sucked into the earth. His skin and flesh were trembling unnaturally, making it extremely uncomfortable. This was unbelievable agonizing pain.
However, Luo Tian braced his hands and forced himself back up. He threw his head back and roared, his muscles bulging as his meridians rapidly absorbed energy. He said heavily in his heart, “Still not enough, increase it again!”
Luo Tian’s physical endurance was on the verge of collapse.
It was already at the breaking point.
If it increased any further, his physical body might be directly crippled.
Illusion Fairy hesitated.
Luo Tian said in his heart, “Believe me. I can definitely do it. I can absolutely withstand it.”
He didn’t know what would happen next.
If he made a guess, entering the barrier the next time would be completely different from the first. The pressure he had to endure would be double what it was before, and there would be a third time, a fourth time, a fifth time... If he couldn’t temper his physical body now, he wouldn’t be able to fight later at all and would be at the mercy of others.
He had to be ruthless to himself!
This has always been Luo Tian’s way of doing things!
Illusion Fairy said nothing more. At this moment, she also chose to trust Luo Tian. With a thought from her, a wave of power spread throughout the body as she said, “400 percent pressure, activate!”
“Kaboom~!”
It was like a massive bolt of lightning smashing into his heart.
Luo Tian’s body trembled. Every inch of his muscle quivered as if they were about to tear apart from his physical body. Ripples of energy formed around Luo Tian’s body before radiating outward from him.
Hai Fengtian stood up abruptly. “Hahaha... he’s dying! He’s dying! Luo Tian, you’re about to die right now, hahaha...”
At this moment, Luo Tian let out a furious roar, “Activate...”
