This was helplessness in the face of reality.
It was precisely because I knew how powerful my opponents were that I felt so defeated.
Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu, in just over half a year, completed ninety-nine victories in the Hell Slaughter Arena, setting a new record.
At the same time, their unique skills and strength became increasingly proficient.
Zhu Zhuqing's Nine Yin White Bone Claw had reached the level of murderous sharpness, Yin Five Divisions, capable of tearing through metal and stone with bare hands.
Xiao Wu had opened the fifth trigram gate, with the five elements complementing each other, skillfully applied, their strength had more than doubled.
Ning Rongrong's Adamantine Inch Punch was unstoppable, capable of destroying Spirits and breaking steel bones as easily as mud. The strength of her fists was probably already no weaker than the Clear Sky Hammer.
Ye Lingling was even more terrifying. This Slaughter City was simply her holy land. In half a year, the Black Lotus had already bloomed, not only resolving the flaws of the Nine Heart Begonia Spirit, but the Nine Revolutions Black Lotus had also evolved into a Ten-Grade Black Lotus. It not only came with a Sea Tang Illusion, but could also annihilate the vitality of hundreds of people in just over ten seconds, turning them into withered bones.
It was precisely because he knew the terrifying strength of them that Tang San felt so disheartened.
Among the four, he wasn't confident he could defeat any of them.
Especially Zhu Zhuqing's Other Shore Ghost Shuttle, he still hadn't figured out a way to counter it.
That was something more powerful than the Godly Zhuge Crossbow, much faster in firing speed, yet more compact. And what he had on hand now was only the Flying God Claw, the Godly Zhuge Crossbow…
He had originally thought that two years of arduous training would narrow the gap between himself and the Taoyuan students, but he hadn't expected that he was already not on the same level as them.
Should I really go and become a disciple of Peach Garden?
Is the path I am currently on wrong?
A confused expression appeared on Tang San's weathered face, filled with self-doubt.
...
"Today is destined to be a day of miracles for Slaughter City."
"In the past year or so, five astonishing existences have appeared simultaneously in Slaughter City. They have all achieved ninety-nine victories and will complete their hundredth match today, opening the Hell Road challenge."
"They are respectively:
Hell Messenger!
Nine Nether Demoness!
Adamantine Fiend!
Hell Savior!"
Logically speaking, at such a historical moment, the Hell Slaughter Arena should be very lively, with all the villains coming to watch.
But the truth was, there weren't many spectators on site. It wasn't that the villains weren't paying attention, but rather, most of the fiends in Slaughter City had already died out!
The recent atmosphere throughout Slaughter City was terrifyingly peaceful, and terrifyingly silent.
No wonder the Slaughter King couldn't tolerate Ye Lingling and their presence.
Their impact on the environment of Slaughter City was too great.
This is Slaughter City, not your cultivation backyard!
"All forbearance will end today."
Tang San was no longer as handsome as when he first arrived. His face was covered in stubble, no less than his father's, and he held a cup of blood wine, sitting in the spectator area.
Without surprise, even facing the siege of nine Spirit Douluo-level powerhouses without being able to use Spirit Abilities, they were no match for them and would ultimately only become nourishment on their path to growth.
Facing an unbeatable opponent, temporarily avoiding their sharp edge was the best choice.
As long as they left, or died on the Hell Road, then Slaughter City would be his home ground.
"After a hundred wins, we'll be going to challenge the Hell Road. Is Teacher Su really not coming?"
Hu Liena, still not giving up, asked Ye Lingling.
Ye Lingling was the one among the four who was slightly willing to speak a few words to her.
Under Hu Liena's persistence, the four students of Peach Garden Academy reluctantly accepted her presence. However, every time Hu Liena mentioned their teacher, Ning Rongrong had the urge to beat her to death.
"Are you here for training, or for the teacher? That's our teacher, your teacher is in the Supreme Pontiff Palace, okay?"
Ning Rongrong said irritably.
"I think, there doesn't seem to be a rule that a Spirit Master can't have two teachers, right?"
Hu Liena blinked. In this past year, she had watched Ye Lingling and the others grow. They were simply too cool and too amazing!
They were actually able to maintain their original intentions in Slaughter City and completely convert the killing intent within Slaughter City for their own use.
Especially the unique skills they cultivated, which only felt very difficult to deal with during the Soul Master Competition.
Now she truly understood: What kind of heaven-defying unique skills are these?
Peach Garden Academy is too good! Not only can you learn extraordinary unique skills, but there's also such a handsome teacher. Being a student of Peach Garden Academy must be super blissful, right?
Ning Rongrong looked at Hu Liena in surprise:
Shameless! This person is even more shameless than me!
