Chapter 279: Target of Attacks



It was difficult to describe Lian Fei’s expression. It was a mixture of intense hatred, a hint of fear, and an indescribable resentment.

Lin Xun had killed his father but every time he wanted to avenge his father, his operation ended in failure.

Lian Fei didn’t need Yao Tuohai’s reminder to know that he couldn’t deal with Lin Xun alone.

He was most annoyed that his wife Yao Susu and father-in-law Yao Tuohai had forbidden him from taking revenge on Lin Xun.

But would he be willing to do so?

Lian Fei definitely wasn’t willing. But after two years of training, he had developed an extremely strong forbearance and wouldn’t act rashly as he did in the past.

However, he had vowed to kill Lin Xun with his own hands one day!

Suddenly, Lian Fei’s eyes narrowed and his face darkened. Lin Xun was waving to him with a slight smile.

Provocation!

That bastard is provoking me!

Hatred and anger violently bubbled in Lian Fei’s heart like lava. He almost lost control of his rage. He’s too arrogant! Does he really think that I can’t do anything to him?

Just you wait!

Soon I will make you pay with blood and suffer a fate worse than death!

Lian Fei’s face was livid. He turned his head and didn’t glance at Lin Xun again.

Lin Xun also withdrew his gaze with a smile, but the murderous intent deepened in his heart. He knew that there would be endless troubles if he didn’t get rid of Lian Fei!

“Don’t let me find an opportunity to get rid of you…” Lin Xun muttered.

……

It was late at night but the examination venue was still crowded with people. Not a single spectator had left. Everyone was eagerly waiting for the third round of examination to start.

The bright lamplights dotted the site and illuminated the area like fire dragons.

The third round kicked off with the ring of the bell.

The third round was called the Six-Person Battle. After drawing lots, the remaining 1,200 cultivators were divided into two hundred groups. Each group of six people had to battle against each other in the arena. One hundred groups would compete first in the one hundred arenas and then the remaining one hundred groups would battle.

After Lin Xun drew his lot, he smiled bitterly. How am I so unlucky!?

It turned out that four of the five cultivators in the same arena as him were at the Earth Dipper Stage. The other cultivator was at the Heaven Dipper Stage while Lin Xun was the only one at the Human Dipper Stage.

The four Earth Dipper cultivators were Liu Kesheng, Wu Cen, Zhai Xiuyuan, and Chen Cheng. Although their names sounded unfamiliar, they were all top figures from different cities in the southwest province.

Of course, the most notable was the Heaven Dipper cultivator—Le Zhiyou, one of the top students in the prestigious Haze Academy!

He was a fierce character comparable to Xue Shaolin, Yu Wenjing and Yun Zitong. The fact that he had reached the Heaven Dipper Stage before the age of eighteen already proved how outstanding and talented he was.

This is going to be a tricky battle!

Lin Xun frowned. He was already certain that he would suffer the joint attacks of the four Earth Dipper cultivators and one Heaven Dipper cultivator.

This was because he was a huge threat and also because he was only at the Human Dipper Stage. The others would choose to deal with him first compared to Le Zhiyou.

“I’m really unlucky! Never mind, it seems like I have to fight with all my strength…” Lin Xun murmured.

This was the result of the draw and there was nothing he could do.

While Lin Xun was frowning and sighing, bursts of wailing rang out from other areas. It seemed that other cultivators were also upset with the result of the draw.

Of course, some cheered happily, seemingly very satisfied with the result of the draw.

When a crescent moon shone on the world, some families were happy and some were troubled.

……

The audience broke into an uproar when they saw the figures of Lin Xun, Le Zhiyou, Liu Kesheng, Wu Cen, Zhai Xiuyuan and Chen Cheng appear in the No. 9 arena.

It was understandable. The group of cultivators at the No. 9 arena were too strong. It was impossible to not attract any attention.

“Damn! It’s going to be interesting. Look, Lin Xun’s opponents aren’t just four Earth Dipper cultivators but there’s also Le Zhiyou. This battle will no doubt be spectacular!”

“It doesn’t look good for Lin Xun. Although he’s fierce, he is alone and won’t stand a chance against the joint attacks of the others. If Le Zhiyou also joins forces with the others to deal with him, it would be extremely bad for him.”

“I have a hunch that Lin Xun will no doubt be the target of the others in the No. 9 arena given that he is the only one at the Human Dipper Stage. Once he’s eliminated, it will be equivalent to eradicating huge trouble for all four Earth Dipper cultivators and also for Le Zhiyou.”

“You are looking down on Lin Xun too much. Le Zhiyou is a Heaven Dipper cultivator. He may also become the target.”

“Regardless, Lin Xun will have to defeat the other five people in the arena to pass the third round. This round will no doubt be hard for him!”

The audience buzzed with excitement and the clamor of discussions continued.

Indeed, no one had expected such a result from the draw. Not only a fierce character like Lin Xun was in the arena, but also a top famous figure like Le Zhiyou. The other four were also powerful Earth Dipper cultivators. The group of people was too remarkable!

Of course, the battle didn’t look good for Lin Xun.

It couldn’t be helped. He had drawn too much attention in the previous two rounds. As a Human Dipper cultivator, he had defeated Earth Dipper cultivators. His opponents would feel uneasy if they didn’t get rid of him first!

Many people looked forward to Lin Xun’s performance but some sympathized with him. They felt that he would most likely be eliminated in the third round and fail to progress to the final round despite how amazing he was.

If that happened, Lin Xun wouldn’t be able to pass the provincial examination!

“That guy’s luck is finally over. Hahahaha…”

Qi Yunxiao, Yuan Shu and the others couldn’t help but gloat. They thought that even the heavens couldn’t tolerate Lin Xun’s arrogance anymore. Otherwise, why would he draw such a bad result?

“The situation is indeed not good. Both Lin Xun and Le Zhiyou are talented geniuses of the younger generation. It would be a huge loss to eliminate either of them in the provincial examination.” Wei Lingzhen, the principal of Haze Academy, frowned. He didn’t expect such a fierce battle would happen before the final round.

“This is fate. You have to admit that although talent, power, foundation and background are important to cultivators, luck also plays a huge role on the cultivation path.”

Du Dongtu said solemnly, “If you have bad luck, even if you have heaven-defying power, you are destined to encounter many troubles and unimaginable calamities. On the contrary, with luck, sometimes even an idiot can rise to the sky. It’s not like something similar hasn\'t happened before.”

“Correct, the six-person battle tests one’s adaptability but luck is also a part of it. This is something that can be controlled,” Governor Liu Wujun suddenly said aloud. “Besides, even if Lin Xun is eliminated this time, he isn’t even fifteen yet so he can take the provincial examination again next year.”

Everyone remained silent and shifted their gazes to the battlefield.

……

“I didn’t expect Le Zhiyou to have to face Lin Xun at this time. It’s really surprising.” Xue Shaolin sighed.

Then, he suddenly smiled and his eyes blazed. “But this way, I can take a look at Lin Xun’s true ability. I have a feeling that he hadn’t brought out his true killing moves in the first two rounds.”

“Even if he has killing moves, he is unlikely to win against the joint attacks of Senior Brother Le Zhiyou and the other four Earth Dipper cultivators,” said Yun Zitong indifferently. She was a beautiful maiden with a calm and elegant bearing.

“Yes, I heard that the four Earth Dipper cultivators were discussing joining forces with Le Zhiyou to deal with Lin Xun first!” Yu Wenjing chuckled. She was also a pretty maiden and had the characters gentle and quiet in her name, but she wasn’t in the least gentle and quiet. Her sweet smile was full of energy and wildness.

“Then Lin Xun will likely be defeated,” Xue Shaolin said with regret. “I wanted to have a proper match with Lin Xun, but unfortunately I won’t have the chance to.”

Wen Mingxiu was standing beside them. They were scheduled to appear in the second set of matches and so could wait in the examination zone to watch the battles.

However, she disagreed with Xue Shaolin and the others. The melee battle is a common training method in Blood Kill Camp. If you think Lin Xun could be easily taken down in a joint attack then you are wrong.

Of course, Wen Mingxiu wasn’t sure whether Lin Xun would win or not, but she was certain that Lin Xun would take someone down with him if he was eliminated.

Amidst endless discussions, Lin Xun was studying Le Zhiyou, Liu Kesheng, Wu Cen, Zhai Xiuyuan and Chen Cheng in the arena.

As he stepped into the arena, he sensed that the five people had firmly locked their gazes on him. They seemed to have made an agreement.

Lin Xun’s heart sank. Usually, the six people in the melee would be wary of one another but, judging from their reactions, it was clear that they had agreed to deal with Lin Xun first. Otherwise, their gazes wouldn’t all simultaneously pin him!
