The murky figure slowly began to emerge as the dust settled.
“My God! It’s An Lin! He didn’t fall!”
Some of the students were already letting loose cries of surprise.
That’s right, in the aftermath of the final battle, there was one man left standing.
An Lin’s clothes had been incinerated away by the Holy Flames, revealing his well-built, yet charred body, along with a light wound on his chest.
Even after facing the terrifying attack he had faced, he still stood like an invincible War God.
An Lin made his way forward and looked down at the slightly disheveled woman in the jade dress, who was lying on the ground with the golden defensive barrier already encapsulating her body.
Both of them exchanged smiles.
“Well fought.” An Lin cupped his fists.
A vibrant smile appeared on Xu Xiaolan’s face. “As expected of the super Demon King of this trial, you really are impressive.”
The woman’s body disappeared into specks of light.
An Lin heaved a long sigh of relief. He had finally completed this mission…
But right at this moment, a blue-and-white lotus flower suddenly appeared before him, rotating slowly as it exuded terrifying energy fluctuations.
An Lin: “…”
He looked up as he roared, “Su Qianyun, are you f*cking addicted to tossing Immortal Wrath Fire Lotuses?!”
Boom!
Energy instantly exploded, reducing the ground within a radius of several kilometers to dust.
There was a light sheen of sweat on Su Qianyun’s forehead. Using the Immortal Wrath Fire Lotus over and over again in quick succession was very taxing on her vital energy reserves. This was already the final strike she was capable of.
She stood atop her Moonlight Disc. Her dreamy eyes blinked as she stared nervously down at the center of the explosion while pursing her lips with a hint of uneasiness. “Did that do the trick?”
“Nope…”
A voice that sounded like it had come for the pits of hell suddenly sounded beside her.
Su Qianyun received a massive fright upon hearing this, and her features instantly paled.
She was then greeted by the sight of An Lin’s body slowly materializing from the mist. Golden light enshrouded his fist as the insignia of a golden lotus flashed on his forehead. He activated his Earth Lotus Supreme Skill to the very maximum as a vast, boundless power of the earth erupted forth from his fist.
“It’s over,” he muttered in an indifferent voice.
Su Qianyun pleaded in a mellow voice, “Please be gentle.”
An Lin nodded. “One hundred percent Mountain Quaking Fist!”
Boom!
Golden light exploded out as if the sun had collapsed to become a supernova, lighting up the entire night. The devastating power of the earth erupted forth in shockwaves, dissipating all the clouds within a radius of several kilometers from point of impact.
An exquisitely beautiful woman threw up a mouthful of blood, and she plummeted from the sky as a golden light encapsulated her body.
On the plaza, all the students instantly flared up in rage upon seeing this.
“Scum! How could you be so cruel to Goddess Su!”
“His strike was so barbarous and decisive, completely disregarding their friendship. Has God An really been reduced to an evil Demon King?”
“I’m calling the police! This is a crime he has committed!”
“Sigh… We lost. Even the entire school with their forces combined were defeated by Demon King An Lin…”
“Gasp… When you put it that way, that really does appear to be the case!”
All the students’ hearts jolted in shock, and they all came to their senses.
The vast majority of the spectating students had been eliminated by An Lin, and even the top prodigies of all the year levels were no match for An Lin…
“That’s, that’s insane!”
“Should we be saying, as expected of God An?”
“This is a mighty feat no one has ever achieved. Senior Student An Lin is the legend of our school. A living legend!”
Many of the students who had been blasted by An Lin’s lightning could no longer muster up even a shred of resentment toward him. All of them were staring at the man on the screen with scorching reverence in their eyes.
Even though An Lin had been denounced as the Demon King during this trial, he was still the most charismatic antagonist and attracted countless fans.
An Lin slowly descended from the sky, and his body swayed slightly as if he was about to collapse.
He had been fighting non-stop while he unleashed his divine sense relentlessly. At the same time, he conducted large-scale attacks, recklessly expending his energy in the process. He had exterminated the entire Forest of One-Thousand Peaks, and now, he had also completely run out of energy.
“It’s time for me to go back.” A faint smile appeared on An Lin’s face as he looked up at the teachers in the sky.
However, what was strange was that none of the teachers descended to congratulate him.
“Hmm? What’s going on?” An Lin’s brows furrowed slightly.
Right at this moment, a crimson sword projection imbued with terrifying sharpness swept forth toward An Lin’s back!
A voice sounded from afar, “Fifth year, Tang Ximen, please enlighten me!!!”
On the White Stone Plaza, all of the students’ expressions shifted again.
All of the fifth-year students even let loose cries of excitement, “It’s Student Tang Ximen!”
“Tang Ximen hasn’t attacked yet! Our mission to slay the Demon King has not failed yet!”
“This is great! Student Tang Ximen has finally struck!” Some of the students already had tears in their eyes.
“He is one of the most powerful cultivators in our cohort! An Lin is already completely exhausted, so we might just be able to win this time!” Some of the students clenched their fists tightly as they stared excitedly at the powerful crimson sword projection on the screen.
That crimson sword projection had given every student hope, as if it were the red sun of dawn, piercing through the night and bestowing light upon the world.
Tang Ximen had been charging this sword technique for a long time, and it was the most powerful strike he had ever unleashed up to this day! The crimson sword projection tore through the ground below, and the space before it trembled as it flashed past in a dazzling trajectory.
An Lin turned with a hint of surprise on his face before extending a hand before him.
Boom!
The crimson sword projection exploded, and a sharp screeching sound erupted as a boundless sword intent burst forth, pulverizing the earth within a radius of several hundred meters.
Tang Ximen’s eyes widened in astonishment and incredulity. “How could this be… That was my full-power strike, but it was stopped by a bare hand?”
The crimson sword projection had made contact with An Lin’s hand, upon which a rainbow divine light flashed. The projection wasn’t even able to slice open the skin on his palm…
A black sword projection rained down and tore apart Tang Ximen’s body as blood splattered through the air in a tragic, yet artistic display.
The golden defensive barrier encapsulated the dumbstruck Tang Ximen.
On the White Jade Plaza, tens of thousands of excited students felt like they had just had a bucket of cold water poured over their heads as all of them fell into an awkward silence.
Their final hope had been insta-killed…
An Lin felt like he should say something as a gesture of respect, so he put on a genuine smile and delivered words of praise.
“Well done, Senior Student Tang, you are the last one to be eliminated!”
Tang Ximen: “…”
Well done, my a*s! My f*cking figures read zero kills, one death!!!
Tears welled up in Tang Ximen’s eyes as this sad notion sprang to mind.
Wasn’t he going to get himself into the top five of the Immortal Rankings Board? Why did things end like this?
Tang Ximen’s body slowly dissipated into specks of golden light amid his boundless sorrow and indignation.
In the sky above, Earth Immortal Cang Qing nodded with satisfaction. “Tang Ximen only unleashed one strike, but the sword intent within that strike was quite profound and the attack was quite powerful. He is a contender for the top ten!”
[Tang Ximen: Combat Capability: 680, Achievement Score: 0]
[An Lin: Combat Capability: 3400, Achievement Score: 86510]
Vice-Principal Yu Hua stared at the two sets of figures and nodded silently.
There was simply no comparison…
Celestial Immortal Yu Hua descended before An Lin.
He teleported An Lin together with him to the White Stone Plaza and raised An Lin’s arm into the air before announcing in a loud voice, “I hereby announce that the winner of this free-for-all battle is An Lin!”
Nearly fifty thousand students stared up at that proud, insurmountable figure and remained silent for several seconds.
An Lin looked down speechlessly at all of the students. Had he been too cruel in culling them like that? Had all of his fans abandoned him as a result?
Don’t leave me hanging like this!
However, just when he was starting to feel a little depressed, someone started clapping, and it triggered an instantaneous chain reaction as the sound of applause erupted like thunder!
Raucous cheers erupted from tens of thousands of students at once, creating a tsunami of clapping sound, which rang out across the entire heaven and earth, with some students even resorting to screeching to express their emotions.
Immediately afterward, one person began yelling something, which triggered another domino effect.
In the end, almost all of the fifty thousand students were yelling in unison.
“Congratulations, Demon King An Lin!”
“Congratulations, Demon King An Lin!”
“Congratulations, Demon King An Lin!”
…
An Lin stared blankly down at the countless students screaming his name with passion and enthusiasm. Some of the students were still slightly charred, having clearly recently been struck by lightning, but genuine smiles lit up all of their faces.
An Lin couldn’t help but smile in response as he sincerely cupped his fists to all the students present. “Thank you!”
These students really were adorable…
