The thorns in the deep mountains were blocked by tall trees all year round. The branches were dark green, but the thorns were as sharp as needles. They were dazzlingly red and so thick that they seemed to drip blood.
Yuhuan fell so fast that Guan Heng didn't even have time to transform his Xuan Li into an earth element to protect his body.
No, he didn't even think about it. His clear eyes were filled with anxiety as he faced the thorns all over the ground and suddenly dove down!
"Chi!"
Countless thorns pierced into his flesh. The sound was so dense that they connected together and converged into the sharp sound of clothes being torn apart.
Dark red spots of blood immediately appeared all over the youth's body. Drops of blood slowly seeped out of the pierced skin and converged into a winding river of blood on his forearm.
Blood flowed through the tight purple veins and slid through the knuckles that had turned white from clenching them. It circled around the thin layer of calluses between the thumb and forefinger and slowly dripped to the ground.
Guan Heng didn't care at all.
He frowned and didn't say a word. His gaze was fixed on a palm-sized mound of dirt under his feet.
He still didn't make it in time.
The moment the jade bracelet fell to the ground, he saw a crack appear on the ground. Sand gathered like a giant mouth and swallowed the jade bracelet.
Who was it?
A mystical beast or … someone else?
At this moment, Wu Zhengying, who had fallen to the side, huffed and puffed as he climbed up from the ground.
Guan Heng heard rustling sounds mixed with the youth's curses and complaints. But in the next second, all the sounds came to an abrupt end, as if someone had stuck a stop sign on Wu Zhengying's body.
The youth's voice was dry, nervous and flustered. He stammered, "Bro, Cong?"
Guan Heng's eyes were like lightning as he suddenly turned around!
A youth with black hair and white clothes had appeared behind him. He was tall and slender, with thick eyebrows and a very handsome face. His slanted eyes emitted traces of coldness.
He raised his chin and looked down at the two youths below. His slightly narrowed eyes were empty.
The youth was holding a green jade bracelet in his hand.
Was it Wu Zhengying's helper?
Guan Heng coldly looked at the young man and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"
However, Wu Cong didn't even look at him. He completely ignored Guan Heng.
He lifted his chin and nodded at Wu Zhengying. His eyes overflowed with undisguised impatience and contempt as he said indifferently, "Who asked you to come?"
Wu Zhengying's face was pale. He blinked his eyes pitifully and was about to say something, but the young man waved his sleeve and interrupted him.
Wu Cong pointed at the profound weapon shining with silver light in the youth's hand. The corner of his mouth twitched: "Wind-Travel Shuttle?"
Wu Zhengying's fingers trembled violently as if he had been electrocuted. Then, with a "swish", he hid it behind his back.
"Tsk." A trace of disdain flashed across the young man's cold eyes. He raised his voice and said, "Now you know how to hide? Why don't you hide your face as well? "
"You have the Wind-Travel Shuttle, yet you were chased for a kilometer. What a disgrace. Look at your face. How can my Wu family have such a trash like you!"
After being mercilessly scolded by his brother, Wu Zhengying's face became even paler. He bit his lower lip and clenched his fists in the cold wind.
He seemed to be very afraid of his brother. Although he opened his mouth several times to refute, he hesitated several times. In the end, he didn't say anything and just hung his head dejectedly.
Wu Cong turned around and glanced at Guan Heng. His eyes were as cold as frost: "As for you …"
He coldly said: "Which family do you belong to? How dare you attack my Wu family's clansmen?"
Guan Heng frowned.
Where did this pair of brothers come from? Each one was more unreasonable than the other.
He forced himself to suppress the raging anger in his heart and repeated: "That's my bracelet."
Wu Zhengying hid behind his brother and carefully poked his head out. He also whispered: "Cong, the bracelet … is his. He didn't steal mine."
"Oh?" Wu Cong raised his eyebrows.
He coldly snorted and said: "Fine, at least you know your place."
"But you disrespected my Wu family's clansmen. You can't be easily forgiven."
A cold light flashed across the young man's eyes. A faint yellow stream of air appeared around his body. It was like a vast and mighty whirlpool, but it gradually shrank in his slender palm.
He raised his head high, his slender neck like a proud white goose. He slightly pointed his chin in Guan Heng's direction and said in a commanding tone: "Our Central Academy is not a garbage dump. Not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can jump in. You are disqualified from this assessment. Leave your bracelet and go."
Guan Heng: "…"
The thorns pierced into his blood vessels and pain spread throughout his body. However, no amount of pain could suppress the anxiety in Guan Heng's heart.
Although Youyou often turned into a jade bracelet and disappeared without a trace, he didn't know when she would return. He had tested before and found that when Youyou turned into her original form, she didn't know anything about the outside world, so …
Guan Heng swallowed a mouthful of saliva and his eyes became more and more anxious.
He had to take back the jade bracelet before Youyou transformed. Otherwise, Youyou's secret would be exposed in front of these two brothers!
"I'll say it one last time." Guan Heng fiercely licked his molars and said clearly: "I've lived in Luo Ling for a long time and I'm not a participant in the assessment. That jade bracelet is my personal item and has nothing to do with the assessment."
"You'll find out once you investigate. Don't you have a list of participants in the assessment?"
There was indeed a list of participants, but it was in the hands of Xie Ziyou, the head examiner.
Wu Cong thought: "You want to disturb my junior sister because of a wild boy?
What a joke!
I, Wu Cong, am a man who can take charge and shelter my junior sister from the wind and rain. I'm not a good-for-nothing who can't solve a problem and ask my junior sister to investigate and mediate! "
The young man glanced at Guan Heng from the corner of his eyes. Yuguang.
Then, as if he had heard a joke, he laughed loudly.
"Luo Ling? You've lived here for a long time? "
Wu Cong laughed wildly, but his tone was firm: "Boy, before you lie, you should check your own weight. Even I don't dare to say that I've lived here for a long time. How dare you say that you've lived here for a long time?"
"Do you think I'm a fool?"
Sure enough!
Guan Heng took a deep breath and closed his eyes slightly.
When he opened them again, his bright black eyes were like obsidian and there was a flash of fierceness in his eyes.
"I knew it." He muttered to himself: "It's impossible to reason with arrogant people like you."
The young man suddenly opened his palm and clenched it in the air!
Torrential winds suddenly surged. A light gray cyclone appeared in Guan Heng's palm. Xuan Qi whistled and tore at each other. There was a faint sharp sound of space cracking.
Wu Cong's wanton laughter came to an abrupt end.
The young man's eyes widened in shock, revealing a look of disbelief.
"What kind of attribute is this?"
With his background as the strongest disciple of the Central Academy and the Wu family's rich knowledge, he had never seen or heard of this kind of strange light gray Xuan Qi!
Guan Heng didn't answer. His fingers suddenly exerted force and clenched in the air.
He slowly pulled out a long saber that was completely condensed from Xuan Qi. It was translucent light gray, but there were dark cracks on the edge of the saber.
The moment the long saber was completely pulled out, a vast pressure suddenly descended. With Guan Heng as the center, a gorgeous light wave suddenly exploded in all directions!
The wind whistled, blowing Guan Geng's slightly long forehead hair.
"I know that you are the proud sons of the Central Academy. You look down on a homeless kid like me who is rooted in the wilderness. Even breathing the same air as me is a disgrace to you."
… … Just like two years ago, the noble and noble Xie Family Fairy looked down on her fiancé who was born in a remote town.
Guan Heng took a deep breath.
The long saber was raised, cold light shining, and it reached the tip of Wu Cong's nose.
He shrugged and said lightly: "Actually, I don't care. It's important to know one's own limits. Besides, I'm not alive to be looked down upon by you."
"But —"
The young master's eyes were dark and sharp.
"You shouldn't have touched my You!"
… …
The wind whistled in the silent valley, bringing with it the noisy and loud sounds of fierce fighting on the hillside.
Xie Ziyou anxiously turned left and right. Finally, he heard the System say: "Guan Heng and Wu Cong are fighting."
"So fast?"
Xie Ziyou immediately frowned. Light and shadow flashed in his soul-stirring ice-blue eyes. He could barely suppress his anxiety.
He said anxiously: "Where is the specific location? Let's go quickly!"
The System: "Don't worry. Wu Cong can't do anything to Guan Heng. Let's wait a little longer."
"How can he not do anything?!"
Xie Ziyou almost jumped up and angrily kicked the rock wall beside him.
The rock wall shook slightly, and a few pieces of rock fell. He forgot to use Xuan Qi to protect his body, and a piercing pain immediately came from his toes.
The "fairy" in the fluttering white dress broke his defense. He bent down and covered his toes without a care for his image, hopping on one leg a few times on the cliff.
He grimaced in pain and hissed as he said angrily: "Guan Heng … Tsk, he just reached the fifth level, and Wu Cong is already at the sixth level. It's not like you don't know the difference between the fifth and sixth levels. It's like asking a junior high school graduate to deal with a child who didn't even finish primary school. Isn't it a one-sided crush?"
When it came to cultivation, the closer one got to the later stages, the more difficult it became.
The fifth level and the sixth level seemed to be only one level apart, but the total amount of Xuan Qi and control were worlds apart.
Moreover, Wu Cong was not an ordinary sixth level.
He came from a noble family and was taught by a famous teacher. Normally, he would be a master who could challenge those of a higher level.
How could Guan Heng gain any advantage when facing such an opponent?
The System sighed: "Sigh …"
It turned into a little bee and spun a few times in the air before quietly landing on Xie Ziyou's shoulder.
"You, are you worried about Guan Heng?"
Xie Ziyou straightened his back reflexively and blurted out: "Of course not!"
The System: "…"
There was a long silence.
Standing on the cliff and looking down, the boundless dark green forest looked like emerald velvet. A few translucent white birds spread their wings on the cliff. With a few clear cries, they flew leisurely towards the horizon.
Xie Ziyou's eyes flashed, and Fair Complexion's delicate ears trembled a few times as if they had been electrocuted.
The young man lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes fluttering a few times, and his ears unknowingly turned red.
"I'm just … worried that if something happens to the protagonist, my points will be deducted. I'm worried about my points." He clenched his teeth and muttered softly.
The System was silent for a long time, then sighed faintly.
Those closely involved could not see clearly, while those on the sidelines could see clearly.
"You, don't worry. You said it yourself, he's the protagonist and has great luck. Nothing will happen to him. "
"If Wu Cong's cultivation level is comparable to a junior high school graduate, then Guan Heng's level is definitely not that of an ordinary primary school student. He's a genius transfer student who skipped grades."
Furthermore — —
When a man is protecting his loved one, he can often explode with power far beyond his limits.
"… The current Guan Heng is very strong. It's not an exaggeration to say that he's invincible and undefeatable."
… …
In the emerald maple forest, the wind was raging, and countless leaves were blown up.
Guan Heng's chest was stifled.
He held a light gray long sword in his hand and slashed fiercely at Wu Cong's face. Slash after slash, faster and faster. At first, the shape of the sword could still be seen, but later, only the young man's rapidly moving hands and the flickering shadows between his palms could be seen.
The light from the sword was swift and fierce, and every slash brought with it a sharp sound. It was faster than an arrow, sharper than a shadow thorn, and fell on Wu Cong's face!
Wu Cong was barely able to ward off the attacks, but he wanted to curse in his heart.
Where did this pervert come from? How could he be so ferocious?
He was at Level Six, but he was suppressed to the point that he could only passively defend!
Although his earth attribute was so strong that the young man in front of him still couldn't break through his defense in a short time — but he was being suppressed by a Level Five brat. How could he show his face?
His younger brother, the little Wu Zhengying, was still watching from the side!
How could he still shout "Come on"? He really didn't have any eyesight — if he knew what was good for him, he'd better get out of here!
However, Wu Zhengying didn't have the Mind-Reading Skill, so he didn't know what kind of complicated feelings his peacock-like elder brother had while fighting. The young man pressed on the wound on his shoulder with one hand, and with only the other hand, he nimbly climbed up a two-story tall tree like an ape.
The young man hung between the tree branches like a koala bear. He stuck his furry head out and shouted anxiously, "Brother Cong, you can do it! He's so young and can't possibly be your match. Quickly beat him up!"
His loud and clear voice spread far and wide, startling a flock of birds.
Wu Cong was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He wanted to pull Wu Zhengying down from the tree and give him two hard slaps — the examinees weren't sparsely distributed. If he shouted so loudly, wouldn't everyone know that he was being suppressed by a junior?
No, he had to be ruthless.
The young man thought so and became anxious. He raised his head and shouted in a low voice.
He clenched his teeth and slightly curled his fingers. The Xuan Dan in his body shrank and suddenly expanded. Suddenly, a bright yellow Xuan Li flowed out and condensed into a hemispherical cover around his body.
The cover blocked the bright and sharp blade and resisted Guan Heng's attack. It slowly but surely pushed toward Guan Heng.
Guan Heng's pupils shrank, and he clenched his teeth.
This won't do.
For Youyou, he had to become stronger. He had to wield his blade faster and more fiercely —
The young man's eyes widened. The corners of his eyes were bloodshot. He clenched his teeth and waved his wrist. The speed of his blade doubled!
This time, even the afterimage could not be seen. Only the dazzling blade light was left in the air. It overflowed with a blazing golden light and pounced toward Wu Cong like a golden snake. It revealed its sharp teeth and fiercely bit toward the bright yellow cover!
"Bang!"
Guan Heng's wrist could not bear the pressure. The web between his thumb and forefinger suddenly split open and blood flowed out.
A strong smell of blood gushed out from his throat. He coughed up a mouthful of blood, but the young man forcefully swallowed it back.
At the same time, Wu Cong's Earth Element Xuan Li Cover, which was known as the "tortoise shell", flashed with light and cracks appeared on the top. It actually showed signs of breaking.
Seeing this, Guan Heng's eyes suddenly lit up.
It was effective!
He did not care about the tearing pain in his meridians. He raised his long blade high above his head and drew a fierce circle in the palm of his hand. It stirred up a fierce wind.
"F * ck, you motherless bastard!" Seeing the blade light in front of him, Wu Cong could not help but curse. A trace of ruthlessness also surged out from his heart. He closed his palms and poured out his Xuan Li without reservation.
Seeing the two forces about to collide in the air, the maple trees on both sides tilted. They already felt the oppressive pressure in advance —
"Stop!"
A cold and delicate voice came from afar. The voice was still far away, but the figure was as fast as lightning. In an instant, it was in front of the two people.
A faint blue and cold Xuan Li suddenly appeared out of thin air and quietly squeezed into the middle of the two forces. Although it was not eye-catching, it was more powerful than the two forces colliding.
The faint blue light gently received the blade light and the Earth Element. It dissolved into two leisurely breezes and scattered in all directions.
Guan Heng gasped for breath. His face was slightly pale because of excessive blood loss.
He narrowed his eyes and quietly looked at the white figure that slowly floated down in front of him. White dress, black hair, untainted by a speck of dust. The Ice Spirit Flower on her temples was delicate and tender. It was even more known as Xie Ziyou's white skin, which was as delicate as cream.
Guan Heng's heart slightly moved.
He did not expect that she would also come.
Just right.
With her as a witness, the brothers should understand that they had hit the wrong person.
Thinking of this, Guan Heng's mouth curved into a polite smile, but his eyes were as calm as a windless lake.
The young man coughed a few times and spat out a mouthful of dark red blood. He raised his hand to wipe the corner of his mouth and smiled faintly. "Miss Xie, long time no see."
