Chapter 40: The Final Battle, Joining the Academy

  Huo Hai and Ji Mu returned with a sense of urgency, but the closer they got to the valley entrance, the more relaxed they became. Because the road under their feet was easy to walk on, their speed also increased. When the Xing Huan's information arrived, Huo Hai found that it was already too late.

  "Whoosh, whoosh..." The sound was incessant as Huo Hai's speed was too fast, and it also stirred up several people in the surrounding circles. Various arrows and hidden weapons shot towards Huo Hai from all directions. Even a few black-clad men jumped down from the trees and charged towards him. This time, Huo Hai had completely brought it upon himself.

  If it weren't for his haste, waiting a little longer and letting the star worms scout ahead, they wouldn't have fallen into an ambush so easily.

  It's the same this time, can't blame Huo Hai. To leave Nan Shan, there is only one exit, no matter what, they will still encounter these people. Under attack, Huo Hai's anger surged up in an instant.

  They themselves have been avoiding these people, yet they still dare to come and find their own trouble. Huo Hai simply didn't think that the people who knew him were just those from big families and large groups, small households didn't know him at all.

  Just as Huo Hai was about to explode, Ji Mu saw that things were not going well and immediately grabbed Huo Hai's hand, suppressing his anger. "Huo Hai, don't get angry, you don't want to become like that either." Upon hearing this, Huo Hai felt a chill run down his spine. Becoming an irrational madman was something Huo Hai did not want at all. He shook his head, making himself even more clear-headed.

  At this time, Huo Hai's vigilance had decreased to its lowest point, but his defense against himself had been strengthened to the extreme. The more than 400 star wasps all over his body were all used for defense. When these hidden weapons arrived at the first moment, the star wasps reacted.

  The speed of the star wheel was much faster than these hidden weapons and arrows. In a flash, it protected Ho Hai and Ji Mu in the middle. From the outside, the two people seemed to be surrounded by a faint layer of fluorescence, looking like a special spiritual defense. Then, the sound of "ding ding dang" rang out, and the surrounding hidden weapons and arrows fell to the ground.

  The star worms are scattered, which is one reason. A bigger reason is that Huo Hai doesn't allow these star worms to swallow anything. We're not far from the exit now, if we get exposed it won't be good. There's a Ji Mu who knows, it's already very dangerous.

  "Hmph, since you dare to come and trouble me, be prepared to pay the price." Huo Hai couldn't kill people, but he didn't plan on letting these people off either. With a wave of his hands, he grabbed some star hooks and threw them out like sand.

  Huò Hǎi used the Stellar Gou to mimic the dark weapon's technique, and once again launched it out. A large number of light points were thrown out, because the speed was too fast, no one could discover what these light points actually were. Moreover, after dispersing, the Stellar Gou's glow was very faint, if one didn't pay attention, it would be easy to overlook. By the time they realized there was a dark weapon, it was already too late.

  The Star Gu's speed was extremely fast, and in a short distance, it accelerated to the extreme. This time, Huo Hai did not let the Star Gu attack their vital points, but rather some unimportant places, such as their limbs.

  "Ah......" The cries of despair echoed near the exit. It's not a good thing to kill someone in a place like this, and no one wants to be seen killing someone here. If someone sees it, that would be bad.

  The Star Gu worm easily penetrated the limbs of these people. And it's not that simple, dare to come and find their own trouble, even if they can't kill them, they won't let them off easy. When Huo Hai decided to be a bad guy, he commanded himself to be ruthless. Especially when dealing with these guys who weren't good people to begin with, Huo Hai didn't have any guilt.

  After the star worms were inserted into their limbs, it was not just a matter of hurting their flesh and blood. But with sharp teeth, they directly bit off the tendons of these people's hands and feet. From then on, they could only spend their lives lying in bed.

  "Hmph, give you a little punishment. Let you know that wanting to rob and loot without the ability is not possible." These words made Ji Mu roll his eyes repeatedly. Does having the ability mean one can do such robbery and looting?

  Since he had already made his move, Huo Hai didn't hold back at all. If he hadn't acted, then so be it, but once he did, he might as well show enough strength to make them fear him and also allow himself to be more at ease in the future. Who knows, there might be other people around here watching him too. His hands continuously waved, with flashes of light shooting out from his hands.

  Soon, all the people around who participated in the attack on Huo Hai were broken and their tendons were cut off. From the appearance, it seemed that a very strange hidden weapon was used to achieve this. Huo Hai's strength instantly shocked everyone.

  "Hmph, let's go." Huo Hai coldly snorted and quietly retracted the Star Gu before setting off again. Although there were still others around, no one dared to make a move after witnessing this scene. No one wanted to end up like them.

  As for how these people will solve their future lives, it's not something that Huo Hai needs to understand. If you dare to do such things, you should be prepared to die. Not killing them directly is already giving you face. Huo Hai turned around and walked away, the murderous aura in his heart surging and churning. Just now he didn't kill anyone, but his blood was still accelerating.

  Huo Hai had almost lost control several times, and was about to let the Gu insects kill them. If they didn't leave soon, Huo Hai feared he would lose control of himself. After the intense battle just now, Huo Hai's body was still filled with killing intent, and no one dared to block his way.

  Two people soon arrived at the exit. Right place, it was no longer suitable for ambush, not to mention that there were fewer trees around. Even if they ambushed here, it would be easy to be discovered, and they wouldn't allow them to set traps here either. Arriving here, they were already safe. Looking at the sun that had just risen, Huo Hai took a deep breath and finally came out.

  Walking outside, the outside of Nanshan has changed. I don't know when it started, but there are a lot of people gathered outside. In addition to the central square, many unrelated people have come outside, I don't know if they're just watching the excitement.

  Even small vendors selling various things have emerged and settled down here. When I went in, the outer ring of Nanshan was still a vacant lot, but now it's like a market. If it weren't for the square in between, with test personnel and others who came out early, Huo Hai would suspect that he had taken the wrong road.

  Two people came out, and the tester's eyes lit up. He said loudly: "Hand over 100 cards, and then you can receive the admission qualification certificate." These 100 points were not their start-up funds.

  In fact, these 100 points are equivalent to the tuition fee for joining the Imperial City Academy. One hundred points is equal to 10,000 spirit stones. If not for this method, it would be really difficult for them to obtain. This is the benefit of participating in the trial.

  If they encountered any untried entrance exams, the tuition fees would have to be paid by themselves after passing the test. At that time, except for large families, ordinary people really couldn't afford so many spirit stones. This point, Huo Hai had known long ago. He exchanged a glance with Ji Mu, and then the two of them walked forward. Each person took out 100 cards and handed them to the examiner.

  The tester nodded and said a few words to the person next to him, who quickly began writing something down. Soon, two cards with their names on them were handed over to the two people.

  "Here you are, please take good care of this, it's your admission certificate and also your ID card in the future at Imperial City Academy. If you lose it, it will be very troublesome to reissue it later." In Imperial City Academy, everything relies on this card.

  Huo Hai thought to himself, "Isn't this just a student ID card? The Tianling Continent is so advanced and convenient. I wonder if you can store money on it. If you can, then it's just like the schools back on Earth."

  Just as Hao Hai finished thinking, the tester said: "Alright, put a drop of blood on this card. From now on, only you can use this card. Also, take out any extra points cards and we will exchange them for points stored on your card. In the future, all payments at Imperial City Academy must be made with this card."

  Upon hearing this, Huo Hai curled his lips in surprise. He really hadn't expected to be right. Who exactly invented this method? Could it be that there was a group of Earthlings who had crossed over before? All sorts of thoughts flashed through Huo Hai's mind in a jumbled mess.

  "Haha, hurry up and bring out your cards, let's see how pitiful you are. Two people dare to wander around Nanshan, it's really your luck that you're still alive. Don't disappoint me, I've collected a thousand cards."

  Huo Hai looked up and saw that the guy who was laughing loudly was actually He Wang, who had attacked him before. He thought he had died in the attack, but unexpectedly, he was still alive. How did the Star Gu worms not discover this guy back then? Huo Hai suddenly realized that at that time, this guy was too far away and because of fear of danger, he escaped with his life.

  He looked at Huo Hai with a resentful expression. If it weren't for this person, he would not have wasted so much time. If it weren't for this person, he would not have lost so many subordinates, and he wouldn't be in such a predicament now.

  Only a thousand points were left, including himself, three people joined the college, and the remaining start-up capital was only seven hundred points.

  Several others with their own teams came out last, and it's possible that one of them will have less than 3,000 points, or even 5,000 points. Moreover, having many people under him means he doesn't need to cultivate any particular individual. He can just bring in a few random people, and they'll still be more numerous than his own team members. It's all because of this guy; with only two people, what great gains could they possibly have?

  As for Huo Hai's situation, He Fan didn't actually understand it very well, but he just wanted to stir up Huo Hai a bit. The people around them, with hatred and strangeness in their eyes, cast complex glances at Huo Hai one after another.
