The formation covered a large portion of the square. Du Shaofu turned around to look at Elder Liao and asked, "Elder Liao, how long do you think it will take for the top ten new students to break the formation?"
Elder Liao's eyes twitched when he heard Du Shaofu's words. His face turned ashen.
As a Martial Lord, he was naturally able to tell that the ten new students were all extremely extraordinary existences. Their talent was also absolutely terrifying. If they were to seriously fight one on one, even if the purple-robed youth before him was extraordinary, he would absolutely not be able to easily condense a symbol array. Earlier, when the youth condensed the symbol array, he also took advantage of the ten new students being caught off guard. By the time they discovered it, it was already too late to escape.
Even so, Elder Liao knew that even though the purple-robed young man had taken advantage of the fact that he was a talisman master, he was definitely not an ordinary person.
So much so that if this youngster by the name of Du Shaofu was able to smoothly participate in the new student assessment this time, he would absolutely have a 99% chance of obtaining first place.
After all, there was a trace of uncertainty in the test and one's own strength. However, based on the strength that he had displayed so far, if one were to talk about true strength and talent, this young man would absolutely be hard to compare with even among the three thousand new students.
The burly elder and the old man glanced at Du Shaofu before turning to look at Elder Liao. After which, the burly elder turned to Du Shaofu and said, "Lad, remove your formation. You have already won. Elder Liao will promise you that he will make an exception and allow you to join Tianwu Academy."
Du Shaofu continued to look at Elder Liao as he asked, "Elder Liao, does this count as my victory?"
"You have indeed won. I can make an exception and allow you to join Tianwu Academy."
Elder Liao clenched his teeth. His ashen face returned to normal. His originally gloomy eyes even revealed a smile at this moment. However, his smiling eyes caused one to feel uncomfortable.
Du Shaofu's hand seals changed one after another. White divine light appeared around his body, rippling with waves that could make people dizzy. Then, the runes within the astonishingly large talisman array moved. Finally, ten array flags were condensed out of thin air and returned to Du Shaofu's hand, turning into rune energy and disappearing into his body.
"Crash!"
The talisman array disappeared, and the violent energy storm swept out. After reaching a certain distance, it abruptly stopped and disappeared.
"Deng deng …"
Among the ten boys and girls, there were a few who staggered back. They seemed to be in an extremely sorry state. They must've suffered a lot inside the glyph array.
On the other hand, the two delicate and pretty girls and the tall and slender youth seemed to be at ease despite the slight change in their expressions. They were able to deal with the glyph array with ease and didn't seem to be in a sorry state.
Cheng Chao, who was ranked fourth, had an ominous glint in his eyes. After making a fool of himself in front of all the freshmen, he wanted nothing more than to use his strongest trump card to send that purple-robed brat flying with a single slap. He thought that if he had made preparations earlier, the other party's glyph array wouldn't have been able to trap him.
"Little bastard, what's the point of launching a sneak attack? I won't let you off!"
After shouting, Cheng Chao didn't immediately use his strongest trump card. Instead, he went all out. His cultivation at the peak of the Pulsation Realm burst forth, and his profound energy surged, causing the space to tremble violently. The runes on his body flickered, and his aura was terrifying and extraordinary. It was obvious that his cultivation technique wasn't ordinary. His aura was much stronger than other cultivators of the same cultivation realm.
"Extraordinary!"
When the burly and elderly elders saw Cheng Chao making his move, they couldn't help but nod in approval.
"Boom!"
Accompanied by a terrifying aura, Cheng Chao instantly arrived in front of Du Shaofu. His eyes were filled with coldness as he condensed a fist that was wrapped in the light of runes. The wind from the fist whistled, causing the surrounding space to tremble violently. The ground under his feet cracked continuously.
This fist was terrifying and astonishing. It was difficult for people of the same cultivation realm to resist. It was probably enough to deal with opponents of a higher cultivation realm.
"Which eye of yours saw me launching a sneak attack? Now, you're the one launching a sneak attack, right? I hate people who launch sneak attacks the most. You're asking for a beating!"
Du Shaofu raised his head, his deep eyes unwavering as he looked at the incoming punch. It was as if the punch was about to shatter the ripples in the air, but he did not retreat in the slightest. With a shake of his arm, he spread out his five fingers and lightly blocked Cheng Chao's fist with one hand.
"Rumble!"
The air waves collided and the space rumbled. Cheng Chao's fist fell directly on Du Shaofu's palm. A powerful force swept out, causing the surrounding air to tremble like a storm.
However, Du Shaofu, who was in the center of the storm, didn't retreat half a step. His body didn't even tremble. He directly resisted Cheng Chao's fist that was powerful enough to fight against opponents of a higher cultivation realm.
"Oh my god!"
This time, all the elders, mentors, and even those extraordinary young men and women among the new students saw clearly that the purple-robed young man didn't use any defensive martial skills or secret techniques. He only used his physical strength to resist Cheng Chao's fist. How terrifying was his physical strength? It was simply shocking.
At this moment, Cheng Chao's face suddenly froze. Then, a look of shock appeared in his eyes. He felt that his fist had hit an indestructible rock. His opponent was unharmed, and the rebounding force was about to shatter his fist. He immediately felt uneasy and wanted to retreat immediately.
"Oh no …"
At this moment, Cheng Chao's face changed. He realized that his fist was trapped in the other party's palm, and he was unable to break free. There seemed to be a huge suction force in the other party's palm, causing him to be unable to break free.
"Do you want to retreat? I'll send you!"
Du Shaofu smiled faintly, a faint golden glow gushing out from his body. His palm directly grabbed Cheng Chao's fist, and a tyrannical and sharp aura was suddenly released at this moment. It was as if a ferocious beast had suddenly awakened, and with a sudden jerk, he lifted Cheng Chao off the ground. With a wave of his hand, Du Shaofu viciously threw Cheng Chao into the air, as if he was using Cheng Chao as a horse harness.
This time, it wasn't difficult for everyone to see that the aura of the purple-robed young man was definitely not that of a Spiritual Talisman Master. That terrifying physical strength and overbearing aura definitely came from a Martial Cultivator.
"Martial Cultivator, this kid is not only a Spiritual Talisman Master, but also a Martial Cultivator!"
"Another genius who cultivates both martial arts and Talisman Taoism!"
"…"
Everyone was shocked. That kid wasn't only a Spiritual Talisman Master, but also a Martial Cultivator.
Although there were people who cultivated both Talisman Taoism and martial arts in Tianwu Academy, there were only two of them. Those two were terrifying existences on the Martial Ranking, but they were unreachable existences.
Bang! Bang!
Dozens of meters away, Cheng Chao's slightly plump body fell to the ground like a bird with broken wings. The ground trembled from the impact and shattered rocks shot out. Cracks appeared on the ground around him one after another.
After struggling for a while, Cheng Chao struggled to get up. The arm that he had thrown out earlier was spasming, and the sharp pain caused him to let out a groan. Then, the blood in his body surged and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Puchi!
As the blood spurted out, Cheng Chao's body retreated once again. Then, as if his body had suffered some kind of impact, his body fell to the ground again.
Everyone looked at Chen Chao. They wanted to laugh, but they held back their laughter. Their gazes were filled with pity.
This was especially so for the freshmen. Because Chen Chao was extremely arrogant during the test, many freshmen were delighted to see him being trampled on.
The other freshmen in the top ten were also looking at Du Shaofu. Their gazes were filled with shock.
The tall and straight young man, who had been rather carefree in the Glyph Formation, and the young girl in the blue dress, other than the short-braided girl, looked at each other. Then, their gazes fell firmly on Du Shaofu.
Gu gu …
Zhang Yue, Lv Jiaxue, and the others sucked in a breath of cold air. They were petrified and were speechless. This was too shocking.
"This fellow is actually so strong!"
Zhang Yue was dumbfounded. He recalled that not long ago, he had patted his chest and promised that if Du Shaofu was a freshman, he would definitely protect him from having his points snatched. But at this moment, he realized that with Du Shaofu's strength, there was no need for him to protect him. It should be the other party protecting him instead.
"The freshmen of Tianwu Academy are indeed strong. This is an eye-opener for me." Du Shaofu clapped his hands with a smile.
Hearing Du Shaofu's words, many of them had ugly expressions on their faces. However, they could only sulk.
"Lad, you're Du Shaofu, right? You can stay in Tianwu Academy. I believe that Elder Liao will make an exception for you."
The burly man recalled that the purple-robed young man before him had introduced himself. He seemed to be the cousin of Ouyang Shuang, a disciple on the Martial Roll. They definitely couldn't miss out on such a talented disciple. If they were to miss out on this opportunity, the inner elders would definitely question them.
Du Shaofu shook his head and said to the burly man, "I'm not interested in joining Tianwu Academy. It's fine if I don't join such an academy. I'll leave after meeting the two of you."
"Hu …"
Hearing those words, the burly man and the old man's faces changed. They couldn't help but take a deep breath. If this lad didn't join Tianwu Academy, the inner elders would definitely settle the score with them.
"Hmph, what kind of place is Tianwu Academy? Do you think that you can meet anyone you want?" Elder Liao looked at Du Shaofu and spoke in a deep voice.
Du Shaofu's eyes flickered and he replied in a deep voice, "I've already won. You promised me, are you going back on your words?"
Elder Liao sneered, "Why would I go back on my words to a lad like you? I said that if you won, I would make an exception for you to join Tianwu Academy. I didn't agree to let you meet anyone in Tianwu Academy. If you aren't willing to join Tianwu Academy, you can leave."
