The highly-anticipated clash between Xu Xiaolan and An Lin was finally about to take place.
The plaza witnessed another climax as tens of thousands of students began discussing spiritedly among themselves.
"My God! I'm so excited! Are An Lin and Xu Xiaolan finally going to fight?"
"I've been waiting for this moment for such a long time!"
"Can Xu Xiaolan really defeat An Lin? I really do want to see Demon King An Lin get defeated, but I have to admit that An Lin is undisputedly the most powerful student within the school."
"Hehe, would he dare to win?"
All the spectating students had truly been captivated.
Meanwhile, in the Forest of One-Thousand Peaks, all the prodigies were nervous to the extreme.
Holy Flames burst forth from Xu Xiaolan's body again, materializing a vermilion bird in the air, which enshrouded her body. At the same time, her eyes turned golden in color as a terrifying dragon might erupted forth.
It was also at this moment that the misty light of stars suddenly fell and enshrouded An Lin's body.
Thump thump thump!
Several chains of water flashed through the light of the stars toward An Lin, each of them moving at extremely fast speed.
Xu Xiaolan knew An Lin could manipulate lightning, so she didn't use chains of lightning.
An Lin's eyes were glazed over for a split second again as the light of the stars fell upon him, but he soon came to his senses. White streams of wind began to revolve around his longsword as Wings of Wind spread open on his back, instantly elevating his speed to a scarcely believable level, allowing him to barely evade the chains of water before hurtling toward a certain direction!
"Don't think that I don't know where you are just because you've hidden yourself in the darkness!" An Lin's eyes turned snowy white as he activated his Divine Inspection Technique and aimed his sword toward what seemed like thin air.
The sword slashed through the air with extreme sharpness, creating spatial cracks in its wake as a plume of blood exploded forth.
Zhu Xiaojie's defensive was punctured, and he threw up a large mouthful of blood. A golden defensive barrier also appeared in that instant to prevent An Lin from unleashing any further attacks.
The top dog of the first-year cohort had also been insta-killed by the Demon King!
At this moment, Xu Xiaolan's chains of water flew toward An Lin again and bound his body.
The four Divine Flames erupted from An Lin's body, instantly evaporating all the chains of water.
"I was waiting for you to do that!" A smug smile appeared on Xu Xiaolan's lips as the vermilion bird around her body suddenly let loose a sharp cry, as if it was commanding all flames in the world to heed its call.
The four Divine Flames unleashed by An Lin suddenly escaped his control and erupted!
Boom!
The four flames exploded, engulfing the ground in a radius of over a kilometer.
The Divine Flames had only just erupted when Su Qianyun tossed her Immortal Wrath Fire Lotus down toward An Lin. At the same time, Xu Xiaolan made some hand seals, and the white flaming vermilion bird also flew toward An Lin.
The Immortal Wrath Fire Lotus exploded, as did the Holy Flame vermilion bird.
Heaven and earth tremored violently as the explosion of flames sent shockwaves surging through the air, covering a radius of ten kilometers.
A massive mushroom soared into the sky, exuding boundless light and heat, and its terrifying power had even managed to create little cracks in the enchantment barrier around the forest.
Even Tang Ximen, who was spectating from afar, was swept to the ground by the shockwaves.
Hu Guan, who had used his Earth Concealment Technique and was about to launch a sneak attack, was also swept up in the terrifying explosion as the golden defensive barrier appeared around his body!
Thus, the top dog in the second-year cohort was eliminated.
All the second-year students were all extremely embarrassed to see Hu Guan exit the stage in such a comical manner. Speechless, some had even slapped their palms to their faces.
So humiliating... It would have been fine if the hope of their entire cohort had fallen in battle, but who would have thought he would be inexplicably blasted into elimination...
"Say, even Hu Guan, who was hiding underground, was eliminated by that explosion. Surely An Lin can't handle such a terrifying attack head-on?" a student suddenly asked.
Many of the other students also subscribed to this view. After all, the visual impact of that explosion had been far too astonishing. They really couldn't fathom just what kind of power could help An Lin keep an attack like that at bay.
The flames slowly dissipated.
A gargantuan crater was revealed to everyone.
Everyone's eyes widened. At the center of the crater was a man with his robes in tatters, but he still stood tall and proud. His eyes were bright as a battle intent raged within them. There were hints that his skin was charred by the flames. However, all of those minor injuries were healed at an alarming rate by his powerful regenerative abilities.
"He... He recovered just like that?"
Everyone's eyes widened with incredulity.
"As expected of God An to be completely fine after taking such a fearsome attack."
"Is this the true power of Senior Student An Lin? The legends were all true! He's so cool! So what if he blasted me with lightning? He can blast me a thousand times if he wants! I'm supporting him!" Some of the female first-year students had been completely won over as they stared at the confident man on the screen with scorching lights in their eyes.
"Hey! Are you going to betray our 'Beat the Demon King' camp?" A male student was disconsolate.
Xu Xiaolan's long eyelashes trembled slightly at the sight of An Lin, as if she was a little surprised. However, a smile immediately appeared on her face as she charged toward An Lin with a stronger battle intent.
Yao Mingxi and Yao Xiu unleashed a series of long-range sword projections to assist her from a distance.
An Lin stepped forward, and heaven and earth instantly dimmed.
Xu Xiaolan's heart jolted in shock as she summoned her Holy Flames to protect herself. Immediately after, she was greeted by the anguished cries of Yao Mingxi and Yao Xiu. When the light returned to heaven and earth, the sibling duo had collapsed to the ground with severe injuries before being ejected from the trial.
Yao Mingxi and Yao Xiu, eliminated!
An Lin's Evil-Slaying Sword was stained with blood as he turned to the woman in the blue palace dress.
Su Qianyun's body trembled, having clearly been intimidated by An Lin's regal aura.
Demon King An Lin wanted to take care of Su Qianyun first, but Xu Xiaolan refused to let him have his way as a series of Holy Flame sword projections swept toward him, each of which was imbued with an extremely terrifying might.
An Lin had sparred with Xu Xiaolan in the past, but this was the first time they had ever had a serious match like this.
He didn't dare to get careless, and he immediately unleashed his Endless Night sword technique, slashing through the Holy Flames with one devastating sword strike after another. The resulting shockwaves from their clashes transformed the area within a radius of several kilometers from them into a dead no man's land where vicious winds roared and the earth melted below their feet. Even the surrounding mountains were not exempted from this man-made disaster as some of them were razed to the ground, while others had massive chunks gouged out of them.
All the students stared intently with wide eyes at the screen, too nervous to even blink.
"Holy Mother of God, is this really a battle between Soul Formation Stage cultivators?"
"I feel like I can sense the terrifying power even through the screen."
"My uncle has recently broken through to the Return to Void Stage, but even his attacks are nowhere near as fearsome as these!"
Earth Immortal Cang Qing, who was supervising the final area of the Forest of One-Thousand Peaks, was starting to sweat profusely."Principal, the Forest of One-Thousand Peaks is about to be razed to the ground! Is it really alright to let them continue?"
Vice-Principal Yu Hua took a deep breath and gritted his teeth to steel himself."It's alright!"
It was not alright! His heart was bleeding!
But this was a normal trial scenario, so he couldn't just stop the students now, could he?
They were the top university in the Kingdom of the Nine States. If they didn't even have a suitable trial ground for their students to battle to their hearts' content, then they would be the joke of the century!
Thus, An Lin and Xu Xiaolan continued their intense battle as tens of thousands of spectators watched in shock and amazement.
Never would they have thought that the free-for-all battle would become a couple's battle between Xu Xiaolan and An Lin!
"This really is... way too f*cking awesome!"
