Killing Intent
Begin!
Temperament was something very difficult to describe, and Xia Fei was hiding a murderous quality.
Even though he usually looked very humorous and cautious, like an optimist, if someone really tried to challenge Xia Fei's bottom line, it would not end well for them.
As he spoke, the pockmark-faced man from the Brightsea Clan took out a knife. The knife was not very sharp, and the hilt was studded with precious gems of various colors. He truly was a young master of a wealthy clan, even using a knife with such care.
Xia Fei's temperament suddenly changed with the appearance of that knife. Before, the pockmark-faced man was a mad dog, and Xia Fei would not lower himself to a mad dog's level, but now that this mad dog had bared its fangs, he naturally needed to use the Dog Beating Stick Technique on him.
Xia Fei's eyes suddenly turned sharp. After experiencing countless life-and-death battles, Xia Fei's gaze was cold and sharp. Combined with the sudden increase in killing intent, the fat, freckled face across from him could not help but twitch.
"Kid! You're seeking death! "
The knife flashed, heading straight for Xia Fei's throat!
Lightly stroking his spatial ring, Xia Fei took out a knife of his own. October Flying Snow!
Xia Fei did not want to reveal the cruel Blood Crystal in public. Besides, that seemingly elegant dagger was actually so fragile that it could not even withstand a single blow. If it were Xia Fei, he would definitely not use it, for in Xia Fei's eyes, a dagger only had one function, and that was to kill! Xia Fei would not be interested in a knife that could not kill, no matter how beautiful it was.
* Bang! *
The blades clashed, and with a crack, October Flying Snow cut through the pockmark-faced man's beautiful knife like it was cutting vegetables!
The knife showed no signs of stopping, and before the pockmark-faced man could react, October Flying Snow had already returned to Xia Fei's spatial ring!
Xia Fei's movements were simply too fast. Before anyone could see what had happened, the pockmark-faced man and his seven subordinates were already on the ground! Each of them had a faint mark on their necks.
Crafty Thrust!
This was a classic Crafty Thrust technique, killing without spilling blood. It was the Assassin Sect's best assassination technique!
"Xia Fei, how could you kill people from the Nine Great Clans? It's over! I think you should hurry and run. It'll be terrible if those important people find out! "Phantom panicked.
Xia Fei frowned and sternly said, "Something's wrong."
"What's wrong?"
"These people are too weak," Xia Fei said gravely.
Phantom was startled. Xia Fei was right. The pockmarked man had been aggressive, but he did not have much strength. At best, he was an ordinary Law Warrior, and those underlings of his were even worse, no different from street thugs. Xia Fei had killed them all without breaking a sweat. Phantom was stunned.
In this circle that valued strength, daring to provoke someone with such meager strength was simply courting death!
"Murder!"
"Xia Fei killed someone from the Brightsea Clan!"
"Let's go quickly. Don't let the Nine Super Clans vent their anger on us."
The candidates from the smaller clans were shocked beyond belief, and they all wanted to leave. Ludi hesitated for a moment before straightening his neck and continuing to stand at Xia Fei's side, putting on an air of righteousness. They had not expected this fellow to be so loyal to his friends.
Pa pa pa pa!
A series of claps came from behind him as Zanian, dressed in white, walked over with a smile on his face.
"He's Zanian Feng, the most outstanding member of the younger generation of the Dragon Ascension Martial Hall's Old Feng Clan," Ludi whispered into Xia Fei's ear.
Ludi was actually a pretty good person, though he was a bit of a chatterbox. He had already told Xia Fei about Zanian's shocking appearance in the assessment several times, so Xia Fei knew about this person.
"Well done! Daring to impersonate someone from the Nine Super Clans truly deserved to die, "Zanian indifferently said.
The crowd was shocked. Zanian was calling these arrogant fellows impersonators?
Xia Fei was startled. The moment he attacked, he had already realized that these people had strange backgrounds. As for impersonating someone from one of the Nine Super Clans, he had never thought about it. Impersonating someone from one of the Nine Super Clans was very risky, and if he was found out, he would definitely die a horrible death.
Just how bold did these people have to be to impersonate someone from the Brightsea Clan in broad daylight and provoke the Dragon Ascension Martial Hall?
Zanian squatted down and picked up the medallion from the pockmarked man's chest.
* Crack! *
With a bit of force, the medallion shattered!
"A real clan's medallion is forged from the tough and dazzling Suramis alloy. These people's medallions are fake, and so are the people," Zanian casually said. "Impersonating someone from one of the Nine Super Clans? Quite bold! Men, clean up the corpses and feed them to the dogs! "
As if they had been prepared, several muscular men immediately appeared and cleaned up the eight corpses on the ground.
Xia Fei's frown deepened. Something was not right no matter how he looked at it, but he still could not figure out why.
Ludi sighed in relief, one hand clutching his heart. The examinees behind him also sighed in relief. If Xia Fei had really killed someone from one of the Nine Super Clans, the result would have been terrible.
"My name is Zanian."
"Xia Fei."
"You were rather swift just now."
"It's just a habit."
Zanian smiled. "If these impersonators from the Brightsea Clan are dead, then so be it. Dragon Ascension Martial Hall will naturally take care of them. There's no need for you to worry."
Xia Fei stared at Zanian and sternly said, "If these people are impersonators, why would they dare to be so ostentatious? And how did they know that I'm not on good terms with the Mu family, using Mu Fuping as an excuse to provoke me? I really can't figure this out. "
A hint of surprise flashed through Zanian's eyes, and he laughed. "I can't figure it out, either. Who cares? There are many strange people in this world. Perhaps these fellows took the wrong medicine."
"That's possible," Xia Fei calmly said. "In any case, I must thank Young Master Zanian for helping expose these villains."
…
"I was almost exposed." Zanian returned to Busey's room and wiped away his cold sweat. "Xia Fei's analytical abilities are quite formidable. He immediately saw through the problem."
Busey was expressionless as he coldly said, "I can't blame others for seeing through my clumsy acting. Who would dare to impersonate someone from one of the Nine Super Clans?"
Zanian replied, "It's precisely because no one dares to do so that I had those hoodlums impersonate them. As you can see, I don't doubt Xia Fei's determination at all. Even if the people standing in front of him were really from the Brightsea Clan, he would still kill them without hesitation."
Busey nodded. "His style of doing things is indeed ruthless. Who else did you choose other than Xia Fei?"
Zanian handed Busey a long list of names. Every name had a note behind it, detailing their background, cultivation, characteristics, and so on.
"You've done quite a bit of work this time. I can only hope that your judgment isn't wrong," Busey said.
Zanian replied, "This is the first time my father has given me such an important job, so of course I have to do my best to complete it. Otherwise, it wouldn't make any sense."
Busey quietly put away the list and sternly said, "Dragon Ascension is Dragon Ascension because no one can guess the true criteria for our selection. They will never be able to guess that the real assessment has already begun in secret."
Zanian shrugged. "The candidates are quite pitiful. They all believe that the score will decide everything. Little do they know that what we want isn't the score at all."
A rare smile appeared on Busey's face. He and Zanian were like two foxes, one old and one young, hiding in the shadows, watching and making their choices.
"The people on the list will be given the most difficult assessment. As for whether or not they can pass, that will depend on their luck and strength," Busey said.
Zanian nodded, an almost imperceptible gleam in his eyes. "The real assessment is finally about to begin!"
…
The next day, Xia Fei and Ludi punctually arrived at Dragon Ascension Martial Hall, just like the ten thousand other candidates.
These warriors, who had dreamed of entering Dragon Ascension one day, could never have imagined that the vast majority of them would be eliminated before the assessment was even over.
The ten thousand warriors stood proudly on the training grounds. No one knew what sort of test they would face next, and their hearts were filled with fear and unease.
Lu Qiuyan coldly walked up to the stage and sternly said, "The final three assessments will be combined and conducted together. The location and method of the assessment will also be different. Next to each spatial gate will be a name. Enter the testing grounds according to your name. I wish you all good luck!"
After a short lecture, everyone went through the spatial gate. Ludi was assigned to the third spatial gate while Xia Fei was assigned to the eleventh.
"We're not together this time? How disappointing, "Ludi grumbled. Ludi grumbled. He felt that Xia Fei could bring him good luck, so he was unwilling to be separated from him.
After passing through the spatial gate, there was a platform. This platform, made of alloy, had a diameter of more than ten kilometers. It was built on the beach, and behind it was a precipitous cliff that faced the sea. The scenery was not bad.
Xia Fei had entered early, so the assessment would only begin after all the candidates had entered. Thus, he lit a cigarette and quietly waited in a corner.
"Strange," Xia Fei muttered to himself, shaking his head.
"How strange?" Phantom curiously asked.
"Look, those Law Emperor experts are all here, and the rest are all ruthless characters."
Just as Xia Fei said, the group he was in was terrifyingly powerful. There were around fifty Law Emperor warriors in this assessment, and all of them were at Xia Fei's side. Even if the rest were slightly weaker, they were all experts in various aspects! There was no lack of people who had passed the secret assessment with Xia Fei.
This was only the beginning. The last examiner to enter pushed the assessment to its climax!
A black man dressed in black armor appeared, his face cold. The spatial gate closed, sealing off the testing grounds.
"I'm Busey, the examiner this time," Busey simply said.
"Four Heavenly Kings! One of Dragon Ascension's Four Heavenly Kings, Busey, is our examiner?! "
"That can't be, right? This is just the preliminary assessment. How could even the Four Heavenly Kings appear? "
The crowd chattered, all of them shocked. Xia Fei did not recognize Busey, but it was not hard to guess from the words of the people around him that this black man had an extremely high status.
"There are King Kong Eels in the sea. I'll give you one hour to hunt them down. The passing line is one hundred! "Busey glanced at the timer and sternly said.
The crowd was momentarily taken aback. There was not even any opening remarks, and the assessment had already begun?!
King Kong Eels were extremely powerful aquatic exotic beasts, and one hundred of them were to be hunted down in one hour? This meant that on average, they would have to complete a successful kill every thirty-six seconds! Weren't the requirements of this assessment a little too harsh?
"Still not starting? Don't you want to enter Dragon Ascension Martial Hall? "Busey lightly asked.
* Splash splash splash! *
Only then did the candidates react, and they hurriedly jumped into the icy water, not even having the time to complain.
