Chapter XXI Initial Examination of the Martial Arts Examination

Lin Han stared at the two combatants, his eyes filled with anticipation. The school had been open for so long, yet he hadn't formally observed the strength of these students.

The chance to pass this time's martial exam, which strong person would be able to hide?

"Ha!" A voice broke the silence of the contemplating Lin Han. He lifted his head and saw that the two students on the martial stage had already begun their sparring.

"Three Inch Fist!" The one called Zhou Wen unleashed the Spiritual Energy in his right hand and formed a beautiful fist shadow in the air. That fist shadow seemed to have a consciousness of its own as it smashed down towards Xia Wu.

That Xia Wu wasn't a fool. Seeing the 'Three Inch Fist' diving towards him, he obviously wasn't stupid enough to take it head-on.

The spirit energy beneath his feet changed. Like a carp swimming in water, it began to swim around the stage!

He nimbly dodged the "Three Inch Fist" before landing the attack on the ground. The moment the attack touched the ground, he called for the next battle stage. Runes suddenly appeared and absorbed all the attacks.

Seeing that his attack had failed, Zhou Wen was not angry. He extended his right hand forward slightly, and the long sword behind his back came out of its sheath, firmly landing in his hand.

His left hand touched the tip of the sword and a cold aura burst out.

On the other side, when Xia Wu saw the enemy take out his weapon, his eyes narrowed and he also took out his own weapon – Double Axe!

"What is with your ability to dodge? If you have the ability, then fight against me head on!" A trace of disdain appeared in Zhou Wen's eyes as he spoke to Xia Wu in a scornful tone.

Although Xia Wu was a bit smart, he also had a bad temper. When he received Zhou Wen's contempt, a trace of anger instantly appeared in his eyes.

"Good!" This old man Xia will play with you today! " With both hands gripping the twin axes on his body, it could be said that he was dancing like a tiger or the wind.

Upon seeing the conversation between the two, Lin Han frowned as he felt that the both of them were baffled.

First was that Zhou Wen. His "Three Inch Fist" was full of flaws in his hands, and his grasp of the Spiritual Energy was not coordinated. It was nothing more than a feint. Seeing that Xia Wu was trying to escape, without any intention to chase after him, he wasted the opportunity.

Next was Xia Wu, who didn't know how to take the initiative. The situation in a battle was constantly changing. A single mistake could lead to unpredictable consequences. Furthermore, he didn't even have a dao heart, and could be infuriated with just a few words.

While Lin Han was deep in thought, the battle on the stage had already reached its climax.

The two fought back and forth, neither giving in to the other. Their martial skills flew out, and their spirit energy shot out in all directions. Both of them had a bit of each other's spirit energy.

"Dazzling Hundred Blossom" Zhou Wen yelled as the long sword flew out of his hand towards Xia Wu. The long sword became slightly cold and the tip of the sword quickly shook in the air. With the help of his Spiritual Energy, a white lotus appeared in the center of the site!

Upon seeing this sight, the crowd burst into an uproar.

"The manifestation of spirit power, the Spirit Realm?"

"He can even materialize his spirit energy at the Refinement Realm?"

"How talented is this guy!?" He has even learned such a technique. If it doesn't work out, I'll have to look for him to become my student! "

Zhou Wen's actions immediately attracted the attention of the crowd. He seemed to enjoy this feeling and proudly looked at Xia Wu who was facing him.

Lin Han looked at the lotus in the air, a trace of disdain appearing in his eyes, "It's too flashy, the spiritual energy structure is on the surface, causing the power to be reduced by more than half, it can also intimidate people who don't know about it!"

As for the referee, he looked at Zhou Wen with a hint of appreciation in his eyes. Although it was flashy and unrealistic, this sort of creative method wasn't bad.

On the other side, Xia Wu watched the attack from the sky with a flustered look in his eyes. For a moment, he didn't know how to break the attack. Looking at the spirit energy emitted from the petals, a trace of fear appeared on his face.

"I admit defeat!" Xia Wu shouted to the referee beside him. In an instant, a figure appeared in front of him. The referee pointed at the lotus flower and it slowly dissipated into the air!

Xia Wu wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead. He looked at Zhou Wen with an unwilling expression. Then, he silently left the Martial Arts Practice Field.

"First match, Zhou Wensheng!"

"The second match …"

Lin Han obviously did not expect that Xia Wu would be so cowardly. He could easily destroy the lotus flower with a few attacks. Lin Han lightly shook his head, his dao heart was not strong enough, such a person was destined to be unable to go far in the future.

The following matches didn't have much of an impact. Most of them were sparring between each other with skills and surging spiritual energy. Either they used up their spiritual energy and admitted defeat, or they were too tired to fight on the field.

The crowd in the stands was engrossed in watching the battle. From time to time, they would let out a cry of admiration, leaving Lin Han speechless.

"Next match, number three Li Bo against number fourteen Wu Qi!"

As his voice faded, the student called Wu Qi walked out from the crowd. With a flash of spiritual power beneath his feet, he jumped to the center of the training field.

After Wu Qi arrived at the stage, another student walked out from the crowd. Upon seeing this student, Lin Han's gaze shifted. This student had a stronger aura than him!

There was no grand entrance, nor was there any flashy style. He just walked up step by step, and suddenly, the surrounding students shushed him.

However, Lin Han did not underestimate Li Bo. Instead, a trace of wariness appeared in the bottom of his heart.

In the eyes of others, it was just an ordinary walk, but every step was very straight and steady. Even the intervals were exactly the same.

Without the support of powerful movement techniques, how could he achieve such a feat? "This person is a formidable opponent." Lin Han silently remarked.

Wu Qi looked at Li Bo who was standing in front of him. A trace of disdain flashed in his eyes.

"Hey!" Don't blame me for not reminding you! There's still time for us to surrender, it will not be so easy later on! " Wu Qi gently wiped the long rod in his hand. His tone carried a trace of sneer.

"If you have the ability, I don't mind surrendering." Surprisingly, Li Bo was not angry. Instead, he had a calm expression that was terrifyingly frightening.

"Arrogant!" With a loud shout, the Spiritual Energy in Wu Qi's hand was poured into the long rod. The originally pitch black rod instantly emitted a dazzling light.

The move in Wu Qi's hand changed and the long rod immediately swept towards Li Bo. This attack seemed to contain the power of a ten thousand jin and waves of roars resounded wherever it passed.

Lin Han narrowed his eyes as he stared at Li Bo, wanting to see how Li Bo would resolve this situation.

Li Bo did not dodge. There was no change in his eyes. It was as if the mountain collapse and earth crack attack did not exist.

Wu Qi, on the other hand, was overjoyed. He didn't even try to dodge as his head was broken. Since that's the case, then don't blame me for this. He poured more spiritual energy into the rod, and the rod's speed seemed to have increased a bit.

At this moment, Li Bo's palm slightly moved. The Spiritual Energy within his hand emitted light rays, as if a layer of gloves were wrapped around his palm.

Seeing the staff getting closer and closer, Li Bo pushed his right hand forward. In an instant, the long rod that was originally charging towards him was firmly grasped in his hand. The spirit energy on the rod was still flashing recklessly, but it didn't seem to be of much use to Li Bo.

With a slight movement of his body, he disappeared from Wu Qi's field of vision. Wu Qi looked around, but his neck sunk slightly, as if something was pointing at him.

Wu Qi turned around to see Li Bo pointing his long rod at him. The outcome of the match was obvious.

Wu Qi's face was flushed red. His eyes contained a trace of unwillingness and also a trace of anger as he gloomily looked at Li Bo.

"Do we still need to fight?" Li Bo lightly hit the ground with the long rod in his hand as he said to Wu Qi.

"Good!" It is my eyes that are blind, I admit defeat in this round! " Wu Qi said with a trace of unwillingness.

"Li Bo wins this round!" Soon after, the referee slightly recorded it down and began to announce the next match.

"Next, # 15 Lin Han versus # 37 Wang Xing!"

After Lin Han heard this, he heaved a sigh of relief. It was finally his turn. With two or three steps, he arrived at the exam grounds. Following that, Wang Xing also entered the exam grounds.
