A Martial Saint Among Men: From Joining a Martial Arts School

68. On the verge of collapse

The blood flowing from Chu Xuan's seven orifices made him look extremely ferocious. Large beads of blood seeping from his pores stained his clothes.

He staggered backward, looking like a candle flickering in the wind, but managed to hold on and not fall.

"It should be... about right, right? Xu Yuan seemed to be like that back then."

Boom!

Below the arena, the crowd erupted in cheers!

Countless people stood up in shock, their faces filled with astonishment and disbelief!

Another murder!

This time, it was Chu Xuan again who turned the tables and killed Wan Yang, a genius with top-tier physical attributes!

"You brat, how dare you kill my disciple?!"

Below the stage, Cao Xiong roared angrily and rushed into the training ground from the outside, heading straight for Chu Xuan on the stage.

"Get out!"

A detached voice suddenly rang out from the referee's stand.

City Lord Jiang Wang, who had been seemingly invisible, spoke indifferently, his gaze fixed on Cao Xiong with a cold expression.

Cao Xiong, who was originally furious, suddenly felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave!

He said with a look of resentment, "City Lord, it's just a duel on the arena, but this brat actually used a forbidden move, which is against the rules! He even killed my disciple..."

Jiang Wang simply stared at him coldly: "Cao Xiong! Don't make me say it a second time!"

Cao Xiong's face turned ugly. Sensing the killing intent emanating from Jiang Wang, he had no choice but to turn and leave.

In this Green Mountain City, Jiang Wang's words are the rule!

Anyone who dares to break the rules is challenging the authority of the other party!

He was certain that the moment Jiang Wang said it a second time would be the moment he died!

"continue!"

The competition continued after the proctor announced Chu Xuan's victory.

Jiang Wang then sat back down in his chair, reverting to his previous demeanor.

Sitting to his left, Shao Ye, the Qingshan City Commandant in full armor, frowned and said, "City Lord, this boy used forbidden techniques during the martial arts examination. That seems inappropriate, doesn't it? I think he should be dismissed!"

Jiang Wang glanced at him and said indifferently, "Does the martial arts examination have any explicit regulations prohibiting the use of forbidden techniques?"

"this……"

Shao Ye shook his head.

"Since there's no violation, then there's no wrongdoing! Why dismiss them?"

Jiang Wang said calmly, "Besides, who told you he used forbidden techniques?"

"What?"

Shao Ye was taken aback and frowned, "What do you mean by that, City Lord? Who in Qingshan City doesn't know Lu Tong's 'Eight Extreme Vajra Kill'?"

This blood-burning technique, while granting a brief burst of power, comes at the cost of depleting one's life potential!

"Did he kill him using the Eight Extremes Vajra Technique?"

"He just shouted..."

"Does shouting it out mean it's being used?"

"..."

Are you a jerk?

Shao Ye wanted to draw his sword and kill the other person.

Unfortunately, my strength doesn't allow it!

"Fine, I'm in a good mood today, I'll spare your life!"

Shao Ye comforted himself with a thought.

"Heh, this kid's interesting!"

The young man to Jiang Wang's left chuckled.

He looked down at Chu Xuan, who was still swaying precariously, and said with amusement, "You acted quite convincingly! Not bad, not bad! My Xuan Yang Sect needs talents like this!"

"An act?"

Shao Ye froze on the spot, looking at Chu Xuan in disbelief, "He killed Wan Yang without using the Eight Extremes Vajra Kill?!"

Chu Xuan, still unaware that his secrets had been exposed by the two men, was teetering on the edge of his seat.

Fortunately, Dongfang Lin quickly ran onto the stage and helped him off.

Otherwise, he wouldn't know whether he should lie down or hold on a little longer.

The spectator area next door.

"Alas, Brother Lu, what a pity about your disciple." Sun Xiao looked at Chu Xuan, who was covered in blood, and shook his head with a sigh.

A promising young talent who could have easily joined the Xuan Yang Sect has been ruined!

He was also aware of the side effects of the Eight Extremes Vajra Kill!

Clearly, Chu Xuan is finished!

However, being able to defeat Wan Yang, the prodigy of the White Ape Martial Arts School, is something to be proud of.

Lu Tong did not respond, but stared intently at Chu Xuan.

Did Chu Xuan really kill him with the Eight Extreme Vajra Technique?

Something feels off!

"Brother Xu, that man is your junior brother? Tsk tsk, impressive! He actually killed Wan Yang!" A martial artist next to Xu Yuan exclaimed in amazement.

Xu Yuan also kept his eyes on Chu Xuan!

He hadn't expected Chu Xuan's combat strength to be so terrifying, nor had he expected that Lu Tong would also teach Chu Xuan the ultimate technique, the Eight Extreme Vajra Kill!

Hearing his companion's question, he turned around and said calmly, "I do have some strength. But the reason I was able to kill Wan Yang was because of my master's Eight Extremes Vajra Killing Technique, nothing special. Besides, he's already crippled!"

He knew all too well the consequences of using the Eight Extremes Vajra Kill!

Chu Xuan's path to becoming a martial arts scholar is destined to end here. He might even become completely useless.

Not everyone is like him, able to break through and rebuild after using the Eight Extreme Vajra Kill!

"Useless! Useless! Useless!"

Tao Hongtai could no longer remain calm and angrily smashed the teacup in his hand to pieces.

Wan Yang was someone the Tao family had spent a fortune to recruit; he was practically guaranteed a place in the Xuan Yang Sect. Even after entering the sect, he would be a great asset to his nephew!

Now, they've actually been defeated by Chu Xuan!

It's one thing that the huge investment went down the drain, but more importantly, it almost ruined the Tao family's plans within the Xuan Yang Sect!

He can't afford this price!

Fortunately, the Tao family won over more than just Wan Yang!

The only thing that could offer him some comfort was that Chu Xuan was also crippled!

The military examinations are still ongoing.

Not long after, it was Chu Xuan's turn again.

Chu Xuan didn't even change his clothes. Dressed in blood-stained clothes, he staggered onto the arena, looking as if a gust of wind could blow him over.

This time, even his opponents couldn't bear it and couldn't help but say, "Brother, why don't you just admit defeat?"

He was really afraid that one punch would kill Chu Xuan!

Not only was the victory unfair, but it also offended the Lu family martial arts school for no reason.

"Well, I think I can hold on a little longer. Brother, please don't worry about it. Life and death are predestined; this is my own choice!"

Chu Xuan spoke with difficulty.

"admire!"

The man opposite Chu Xuan cupped his hands in greeting, "Sun Lei of the Sun Family Martial Arts School, please give me your guidance!"

"Lu's Martial Arts School, Chu Xuan!"

After the proctor announced the start of the exam, Sun Lei struck instantly, showing no mercy. Chu Xuan, on the other hand, struggled to maintain his composure, constantly appearing to be on the verge of collapse.

In the end, Chu Xuan barely managed to win against his opponent, at the cost of spitting out three mouthfuls of blood!

"They actually won?"

The audience below the stage erupted in uproar.

They all thought that even if Chu Xuan wasn't beaten to death, he would definitely lose, but he won!

After a one-hour rest, Chu Xuan returned to the stage for the fifth match.

The entire audience erupted in uproar once again.

"Brother, what's wrong with you? You used the Eight Extremes Vajra Killing Technique, and you can still keep fighting?"

This time, the opponent is a disciple of the Spirit Serpent Martial Arts School.

The Ling She Martial Arts School and the Lu Family Martial Arts School have always had a good relationship, and the school's owner, Sun Xiao, is also a good friend of Lu Tong.

The other party was clearly familiar with the Eight Extremes Vajra Killing Technique.

"I don't know either. Maybe... my constitution is a bit special?" Chu Xuan said, his face pale.

This isn't an act!

After losing so much blood and vomiting several times, it's no wonder her face turned pale.

Many people in the audience heard Chu Xuan's words and looked thoughtful. No wonder Chu Xuan, with only a minor talent, could cultivate so quickly.

Perhaps he has a special constitution!

"Then I'll be sorry!"

The other party didn't bother with pleasantries with Chu Xuan and immediately took action.

Chu Xuan was still struggling to cope, and in the end, he coughed up blood three times before narrowly winning a move and barely defeating his opponent.

The sixth game was the same!

Everyone on and off the stage was speechless!

Even the three examiners on the stage were speechless.

Captain Shao Ye, his face flushed red with suppressed rage, finally blurted out, "This kid, he's a damn talent!"

Thankfully, there won't be a seventh game!

With six consecutive wins, Chu Xuan's ranking is within the top 30, securing his place in the Xuan Yang Sect.

Whether they were participants or spectators, everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Chu Xuan give up.

If Chu Xuan keeps winning, this martial arts examination will become a joke!
