Instructor Xiaoke lifted up her leg and the suppressed blood-eyed leopard leaped up and met Ning Meng head-on with lightning speed.

Its claws were over five inches long and had a terrifying blood-colored shine. They were incomparably sharp and seemed capable of tearing through the toughest rock.

However, the most terrifying thing about the blood-eyed leopard was its speed. It was as agile as a spirit.

Ning Meng’s fighting style was extremely simple and rough. His burly body moved like a mountain and his skin rippled with lightning, making him look even more extraordinary.

Boom!

Ning Meng roared. He was already locked in a fierce fight with the blood-eyed leopard. His fist rumbled like thunder as it generated blasts of air from opening and closing. It was extremely frightening.

“The Thunderbolt of Eight Wasteland, looks like this rascal…” Shi Yu chuckled in the crowd.

Lin Xun was right next to him, silently observing the battle. He wasn’t surprised that Shi Yu was able to see through Ning Meng’s cultivation background nor did he have the intention of inquiring.

Those able to come to the Blood Kill Camp were no ordinary people. It wasn’t just Ning Meng and Shi Yu. The other boys and girls also weren’t ordinary.

Before long, Ning Meng unleashed a thunderous roar on the battlefield. He perfectly seized an opportunity to grab two of the blood-eyed leopard’s legs and pulled them in opposite directions.

Crash!

He forcibly tore the blood-eyed leopard’s body into two and blood mingled with bright organs poured everywhere.

Blood splattered over Ning Meng and made him look even braver and fiercer. The sight stunned many people. Their eyes flickered with fear and vigilance when they looked at Ning Meng.

Only a rare martial arts genius at the True Martial Stage could single-handedly kill a blood-eyed leopard, which was comparable to a Spirit Dipper cultivator in terms of strength!

“Hahaha, I killed one before last year with my bare hands. This is nothing,” Ning Meng laughed smugly.

“You can go choose a room.” Instructor Xiaoke just glanced at Ning Meng and didn’t say much.

“Thank you very much.” Ning Meng openly chose room No. 1.

Many people became restless after seeing him succeed.

Although the blood-eyed leopard was comparable to a Spirit Dipper cultivator in terms of strength, it was still only a beast. It knew no fighting techniques or tactics and had little intelligence. Although it did pose a threat to the boys and girls, it wasn’t enough to make them retreat.

Soon, a young man called Qi Can stood forward. Instructor Xiaoke didn’t say anything and just ordered someone to bring out another blood-eyed leopard.

Qi Can’s figure was thin and tall, and when he appeared on the battlefield, his entire body was flowing with azure light. He looked particularly striking and ethereal like the firmament.

He was different from Ning Meng in that he adopted both an offensive and defensive fighting stance, and also carefully guarded his center. Although he couldn’t do anything to the blood-eyed leopard for a period of time, he suffered no significant injury.

“The Azure Firmament Breaking Jade Art of the Qi Clan, the greatest family in the Yanbei Province. He reached the ninth layer True Martial Stage at the age of fourteen and is considered one of the most outstanding talents in the world.” Shi Yu murmured. It was unknown whether he was talking to himself or saying it to Lin Xun who was next to him, but he looked relaxed and leisurely.

Lin Xun silently watched the battle. He realized that all the people who entered the Blood Kill Camp weren’t ordinary.

For example, Ning Meng was only thirteen years old yet he already had the potential to set foot into the Spirit Dipper Stage four years ago! His astonishing talent and aptitude in cultivation could easily be imagined.

For example, Qi Can had already reached the ninth layer True Martial Stage at the age of fourteen and could kill a blood-eyed leopard with just his bare hands. No ordinary person could achieve that.

In terms of cultivation, Lin Xun was inferior to Ning Meng and Qi Can.

There were over forty people in the camp, so there had to be many more powerful people among them.

This realization made Lin Xun feel emotional. There is never a shortage of talent in this world. If I hadn’t left Feiyun Village and hadn’t left Donglin City, I would have been like a frog at the bottom of the well.

Soon, Qi Can won and obtained the right to reside in room No. 6.

Immediately afterwards, another person came forward to challenge the blood-eyed leopard. The two consecutive victories seemed to lessen everyone’s fear of the blood-eyed leopard. Every one of them had become eager to act.

Only Lin Xun didn’t move. He asked himself and came to the conclusion that he could kill a blood-eyed leopard if he risked his life but he would also have to pay a heavy price. He felt it wasn’t worth such injuries in exchange for a room.

A sudden tragic scream snapped Lin Xun awake from his deep thoughts. He saw a young girl, the third person to go onto the battlefield, had her left arm tore off and blood sputtered everywhere.

Everyone gasped. Just as the girl was about to die in the blood-eyed leopard’s jaws, Instructor Xiaoke suddenly appeared next to the girl and defended with a swift kick. With a loud boom, the blood-eyed leopard flew across several hundred feet and slammed into the ground. It turned into a puddle of mangled flesh and blood.

“Take her away.”

Instructor Xiaoke struck the girl with her hand and knocked her out. She handed her over to two attendants. There was no need to speculate to know that the young girl not only lost her arm but was also eliminated.

Many people calmed down after witnessing the tragic lesson, but many people still stood forward to challenge the blood-eyed leopard.

In the end, another three people were injured and eliminated. The remaining eight buildings were occupied one after another. Shi Yu was one of them.

Shi Yu’s fighting style left a deep impression on Lin Xun. After he entered the battlefield, he repeatedly evaded the leopard’s attacks until he spotted an opportunity and attacked without any hesitation.

In the end, he crushed the blood eyed leopard’s head with a palm strike and killed it on the spot.

He remained calm and composed throughout the battle and his white robe was untainted by a speck of dust. He won the battle extremely beautifully.

Lin Xun knew that his one-hit kill fighting style was the most terrifying!

……

At night.

The people in the dark caves were very cramped for space. It could at most accommodate a person sitting cross-legged or lying down. The cold biting wind wailed outside the cave, piercing into people’s ears. It sounded like a ghost crying or wolf howling and was extremely distracting and irritating.

Such an environment was a torment to one’s body and mind and could easily make people depressed. Some people might even break down if they lived there in the long term.

Lin Xun sat silently at the entrance of the cave. He still felt a bone-piercing chill despite his strong body. This was the price he had to pay for failing to occupy a room.

According to the rules of the Blood Kill Camp, one would have the chance to change their residence after a month.

One could overlook the entire 39th campground from the outside of the cave. Even the icy moon was visible in the distance, shining brightly.

In Lin Xun’s hands was the document that he had read through. It consisted of some basic information about the Blood Kill Camp.

It wasn’t until now that Lin Xun learned that there were two thousand cultivators participating in the training of the Blood Kill Camp. All the participants were under fifteen yet had a cultivation base of the fifth layer True Martial Stage. Their cultivation aptitudes and talents were remarkable.

Each campground consisted of fifty people and each one was led by an instructor, who was also responsible for their daily training. The chief instructor was Xu Sanqi.

Lin Xun was based in the 39th campground, and the instructor in charge was Xiaoke.

The training in the Blood Kill Camp was extremely unique and cruel. Anyone who disobeyed orders was executed and those who violated the rules were severely punished or even eliminated.

As trainees, all they had to do was obey orders and complete various training sessions. This was the most basic requirement. Anyone who failed to complete it would be eliminated.

In addition, the Blood Kill Camp would conduct an assessment every month. Those who failed to pass would be eliminated, and those ranked low would also be eliminated!

Assessments were usually associated with points.

Points were very precious in the Blood Kill Camp because a participant could exchange their points for various benefits. Each point corresponded to rewards.

In short, the Blood Kill Camp couldn’t only just be described with the word cruel. No one could guarantee that they could survive a year without being eliminated.

Lin Xun was lost in thought as he lay alone in the dark cave. The cold wind soughed outside the cave, and the bone-chilling coldness made it difficult to sleep, but Lin Xun maintained an extremely calm state of mind.

He was rubbing a copper nameplate in his hand. This was his identity plate. The number “39” was engraved on the front, which represented the 39th campground, and the back was marked with the number “13”.

The nameplate had a very simple purpose. It was used to earn and accumulate points, and it also represented a unique identity in the Blood Kill Camp.

Lin Xun didn’t lament about his current situation nor did he find it uncomfortable. He was never a melancholic person.

After organizing his thoughts, Lin Xun began his practice. He entered a meditative state. What he did was no different from the past, except that Xia Zhi was no longer with him.

Two hours later.

Suddenly a piercing bell rang. Lin Xun subconsciously got up and rushed out of the cave. The sky was still dark and it looked to be around four o’clock in the morning.

By the time that Lin Xun arrived at the 39th campground, many people were already there.

When Instructor Xiaoke appeared, forty-two people had gathered, which was two fewer than yesterday.

Only later did Lin Xun find out that the two couldn’t stand the bitter coldness and the depressing environment in the cave at night. They sneaked out of the caves but were spotted by patrolling attendants and were immediately eliminated.

“From today on, the formal training begins.”

Instructor Xiaoke was graceful and calm as always. Her voice was indifferent and calm but no one dared to ignore her.

“Today’s training is very simple—a battle. Cultivation is only one part of being a cultivator. How to transform cultivation into the most effective combat power is something that every cultivator should grasp.”

“You may think that you’ve already grasped various combat techniques, but in my opinion, those combat techniques are only fancy but impractical if you hadn’t honed them through battles of life and death.”

Many people didn’t agree that their fighting techniques were all-show but no one dared to question Instructor Xiaoke. Everyone knew she was a cold and ruthless woman, who had a beautiful exterior but was a devil inside. If they questioned her, it would be the same as joking with their own lives.

When Instructor Xiaoke finished speaking, she waved his hand, and soon, a treasure ship descended from the sky.

Under Instructor Xiaoke’s leadership, Lin Xun and the others walked into the treasure ship. No one knew where the training session was located. Some people were full of anticipation while others were in deep thought.

Lin Xun was studying the runes engraved around the treasure ship to pass time. He felt it was useless to think too much.

After the time it took to burn an incense stick, the fat middle-aged man who was driving the treasure ship suddenly exclaimed, “Damn it, training grounds one to nine are all occupied! They had set off so early. Could the guys in the other campgrounds also be crazy?”

Xiaoke frowned and was silent for a moment, then she said, “Go to the 10th training ground.”

The fat middle-aged man’s eyes widened and he exclaimed in an exaggerated way. “Lady, these little guys have just arrived and it’s their first day. Do you want them to die?”

All the students in the cabin felt their heart trembling and their expressions subtly changed.
