Chapter 2113 - 2113 Who Is This Lad?
2113 Who Is This Lad?
“He’s only good at escaping. I don’t think he’s that capable,”
Lu Wenbin of Heaven and Earth Academy muttered at the back.
Previously, he had a short conflict with Su Zimo and was embarrassed. Naturally, he disliked Su Zimo no matter what.
Yang Ruoxu shook his head gently and asked, “Isn’t it impressive for someone at the Level 6 Earth Essence realm to possess such a movement technique and even surpass Princess Scarlet Rainbow? Can you compare to him?”
Yang Ruoxu’s words had a hint of lecturing in them. In reality, he was telling Lu Wenbin to be humble and not be arrogant.
Lu Wenbin was indignant and his face flushed red as he argued, “Senior Brother, you can’t say that. What’s the use of his movement technique no matter how fast he is? This is the Immortal Sect Selection, not a trial of movement technique.”
“Back when I was selected to enter the academy, I relied on my own combat strength to fight my way out.”
“Furthermore, the rules of the Immortal Sect Selection are clear. One requires sufficient Coiling Dragon Badges to become the final victors. Even if he can survive till the end with that movement technique, he won’t be able to join the four immortal sects without the Coiling Dragon Badges.”
Heaven Immortal White Sea chuckled. “Your junior brother isn’t wrong.”
Yang Ruoxu remained silent.
If the person in the valley could not obtain enough Coiling Dragon Badges, the rules of the Immortal Sect Selection could not be broken no matter how much he admired this talent.
Within the valley.
After a while, Princess Scarlet Rainbow gradually snapped out of her stupor and could not help but stomp her feet. Grinding her petite canine teeth, she said angrily, “Run then! There’s only a month left. I don’t believe that I won’t be able to catch you in this valley!”
With that said, Princess Scarlet Rainbow left as well.
On the other side, after Su Zimo broke free from the entanglement of Princess Scarlet Rainbow, he changed directions a few times before slowing down.
His goal was to get his hands on Coiling Dragon Badges.
There was only a month left—that was enough time.
This stage was unlike the initial stage of the Immortal Sect Selection where cultivators could be encountered everywhere and battles were fought constantly.
Right now, there were only slightly more than a thousand people left. Even if he searched everywhere, he might not find people.
For example, some cultivators who had already obtained enough Coiling Dragon Badges could choose to hide in a secluded spot out of caution and appear only when time was almost up.
It was even more impossible to find cultivators as such.
After circling the valley for almost half a day, Su Zimo finally encountered another cultivator.
It was a lone cultivator and his cultivation was at the Level 7 Earth Essence realm!
This time round, Su Zimo did not escape.
This was the type of cultivator he was looking for.
A lone target whose cultivation was not high.
He could get rid of this person with ease and snatch his Coiling Dragon Badges without having to expose too many methods.
When the Grade 7 Earth Immortal opposite saw Su Zimo, he suddenly became extremely nervous and wary.
However, after checking Su Zimo’s cultivation realm, he heaved a sigh of relief.
“To think that I would encounter a Grade 6 Earth Immortal here. I’m truly lucky,”
The Grade 7 Earth Immortal looked at Su Zimo calmly and pouted. “Lad, hand over your Coiling Dragon Badges and I’ll spare your life!”
“Alright, I’ll spare your life,”
Su Zimo said as well. Before his sentence was finished, he had already charged over in a flash!
The moment the word ‘life’ was said, Su Zimo had already arrived before the Grade 7 Earth Immortal!
It was too fast!
The distance between the two of them was extremely close!
“You!”
The Grade 7 Earth Immortal was shocked and only had time to say a single word before his remaining words were blocked by the surging aura!
Instantly, the Grade 7 Earth Immortal had an illusion.
It was not a Grade 6 Earth Immortal that was charging over. Instead, it was a terrifying ancient ferocious beast that wanted to devour him in a single mouthful!
The ancient ferocious beast extended its menacing claws and grabbed down at him!
At that moment, it was already too late to condense divine powers and immortal arts.
He did not even have time to take out the Dharmic treasures in his storage bag.
The Grade 7 Earth Immortal could only raise his arm instinctively to defend.
Bang!
Su Zimo’s palm landed on the person’s arms.
Crack!
Right on the heels of that, the sound of bones cracking echoed!
The person’s arms were snapped by Su Zimo’s palm and a tremendous force broke through the obstruction of his arms, landing on his chest and sending him flying dozens of feet away!
As the Grade 7 Earth Immortal was sent flying, Su Zimo followed him closely behind with a cold gaze.
Initially, this person wanted to consume some elixir pills to stabilize his injuries before escaping from this place.
However, he was scared out of his wits when he met with Su Zimo’s gaze.
He hurriedly took out his Coiling Dragon Badge and activated the protective barrier on it, allowing himself to be dragged out of the valley by the vortex of the water barrier.
After that person left, his storage bag with the Coiling Dragon Badges landed in the valley and exploded. Dozens of Coiling Dragon Badges fell out and floated in midair.
Su Zimo waved his sleeves and put away the dozens of Coiling Dragon Badges. With an unchanged expression, he turned to leave.
Given his capabilities, it was naturally extremely easy for him to kill that person earlier on and snatch the Coiling Dragon Badges.
However, the two of them met by chance and had no grudges.
Su Zimo was not someone who killed indiscriminately. If he took someone’s life just for the sake of the Immortal Sect Selection, he would be no different from those bloodthirsty people in the Ten Absolute Hell.
“He won just like that? Isn’t that way too easy?”
“That Grade 7 Earth Immortal was careless. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have lost the initiative.”
“If you say that this person is unlucky, it’s true. He was surrounded by Lie Feng and the others and encountered Princess Scarlet Rainbow. However, if you want to say that he’s lucky, it’s true as well. To think that he would encounter one of the few remaining Grade 7 Earth Immortals in the valley.”
“He only obtained dozens of Coiling Dragon Badges. He’s still far from 1,800.”
As time passed, the rough candidates were already decided and there were not many variables.
Therefore, many cultivators focused their attention on Su Zimo—they wanted to see how much longer this Grade 6 Earth Immortal could last.
“Soft,”
Heaven Abyss did not say much and merely said a single word.
However, Heaven Immortal White Sea and the others understood what he meant.
He was referring to being soft-hearted. This person was not tough, decisive or ruthless enough!
In the mortal world, this was naturally a good quality.
However, in the cultivation world, it was easy for unnecessary trouble to arise if one was soft-hearted!
Yang Ruoxu shook his head. “Not really. He leaves a way out and doesn’t kill everyone. At the very least, he won’t sow too many grudges with others or make strong foes.”
Heaven Immortal Green Peak said, “Let’s continue watching. As time passes, it will become increasingly difficult for this lad to obtain Coiling Dragon Badges.”
“The remaining Grade 7 Earth Immortals are decreasing. He will definitely have to face Grade 8 or even Grade 9 Earth Immortals.”
Suddenly, Yang Ruoxu asked, “Who is this lad?”
Everyone was at a loss.
Some cultivators asked around but no one knew his name.
At that moment, everyone in the Coiling Dragon Mountain Range had yet to realize what sort of a person the seemingly sickly young man they threw into the valley was.
Before long, everyone’s impression of this young man would be completely overturned!
