Chapter 52: Selection Ends

A huge sound spread in all directions.

Flames and wind waves lifted the basin's ground, dust rose a hundred meters high, a huge charred deep pit appeared, and beside it were more than ten heavily injured dying demonic beasts lying on the scorched earth gasping.

Pfft!

Wang Qizheng spat out a large mouthful of fresh blood, his body swayed twice, fell toward the ground, but in the end still relied on powerful willpower to stretch out his arm and prop himself up.

At this moment, his condition was extremely bad, half his body had been affected by the fireball's power, skin and flesh charred black, palms and arms burned until only bones and a layer of black flesh remained.

And the black bear, wild mountain monkey were no better off, both struck by Yu Changsheng's fireball, fur burned completely clean, appearance terrifying.

"This is Fireball Technique? Damn Fireball Technique!"

Wang Qizheng gritted his teeth, one eye already unable to see anything, the other eye also scorched by flames, blood-red, staring dead at Yu Changsheng's blurry figure.

【8】 Who's Fireball Technique could be that fierce! Little did he know, Yu Changsheng himself was also startled.

Whose Fireball Technique could be that ferocious! Little did they know, Yu Zhangsheng himself was also startled.

"This is Small Completion Fireball Technique?"

"Too exaggerated, right? Even more terrifying than a cannon."

"If it reaches Large Completion, would one fireball cover the entire basin?"

But Yu Changsheng glanced at the hundred thousand essence required for Large Completion and immediately gave up; with that hundred thousand he could spend on techniques, putting it into Fireball Technique would be too wasteful.

"No good, internal mana insufficient, can't squeeze out a second shot."

Yu Changsheng's divine sense moved, he shouted sternly: "Chi She Wang, go finish them!"

The long-prepared Chi She Wang rubbed forcefully, its body like an arrow leaving the bowstring flew forward, directly pounced in front of Wang Qizheng, sharp poisonous fangs biting toward his neck.

"Scram!"

Wang Qizheng's eyes blood-red, legs stomped, will to survive surged from the soles of his feet.

He controlled the silver knife to slash fiercely on Chi She Wang's teeth, then kicked toward the opponent.

But the result wasn't good; Chi She Wang's power far exceeded same-rank cultivators, let alone Wang Qizheng who was two minor stages below it.

Bang!

The silver blade light was easily blocked by Chi She Wang, and it conveniently bit away the silver knife, head striking Wang Qizheng's arm, smashing that charred arm to pieces.

"Aaaah!" Wang Qizheng gritted his teeth and roared, exerting full force, barely resisting, body continuously retreating backward.

He didn't want to die, still didn't want to die! The selection was only his beginning, the future road still very far! He had to survive! Wang Qizheng was ruthless to himself, disregarding that arm, used a leg to clamp Chi She Wang's blood-red mouth, mobilized full-body mana to control another silver knife.

Swish! Snow-white blade light slashed toward Chi She Wang's back of head.

If lucky, he still had a chance to survive, and kill this damn demonic beast before him.

But Chi She Wang seemed to sense movement behind, ignored it, a patch of blue light emerged on its body, precisely Water Spirit Illusory Armor.

Pfft! Silver knife slashed its back of head, grazed past.

Wang Qizheng widened eyes, couldn't believe this scene.

"What spell is this?!"

Chi She Wang spraying poison mist was one thing, but now it actually also knows Water Spirit Illusory Armor, immune to physical damage!

Where to reason about this?!

Wang Qizheng's last string slackened, struck on the back by Chi She Wang's tail swing, body instantly lost balance.

Then the thick powerful tail swept horizontally, he couldn't dodge in time, struck on the face, entire face beaten crooked.

Bang!

A muffled sound, fresh blood splattered everywhere.

Wang Qizheng's head hit the ground, body went limp and collapsed, breath faint, clearly not long for this world.

And Chi She Wang was unscathed, the Water Spirit Illusory Armor on its body still maintaining original form. He desperately raised his eyes, just saw Chi She Wang's blood-red mouth biting over.

And he already had no strength to resist, unwillingly closed eyes, let blood flow.

Pfft! Wang Qizheng's head bitten off, immediately followed by corpse together swallowed into Chi She Wang's belly.

Sss-ha! Chi She Wang roared with high fighting spirit.

And at this time, the injured black bear, wild mountain monkey also woke up one after another, expressions furious, as if their prey had been snatched away.

Puff puff puff! Yu Changsheng retrieved the Soul-Breaking Nail.

Just now while Chi She Wang killed Wang Qizheng, he also used Soul-Breaking Nail to harvest several demonic beasts' lives, quickly picked up the corpses.

"Go!" Yu Changsheng saw wild mountain monkey's gaze look over, immediately pulled Zhuang Yan across the basin's earth spikes.

That large Fireball Technique just now had drained much of Yu Changsheng's mana, even popping Qi-returning Pills, a short while couldn't recover breath, confronting wild mountain monkey was undoubtedly a dead end.

Not to mention behind there were still continuously breaking through poison mist, charging over this way beast tide!

Sss-ha! Chi She Wang faced the wild mountain monkey flicked its snake tongue, twisted tail and charged out, only leaving a back figure to the other party.

Roar roar roar! Wild mountain monkey very angry, commanded surrounding demonic beasts to encircle Yu Changsheng, itself rode on black bear, issued orders.

These ordinary First Rank demonic beasts though low intelligence, under wild mountain monkey's driving, still had efficiency.

A group of demonic beasts pounced toward Yu Changsheng crazily, ground trembling.

Just as both sides' distance grew closer and closer, wild mountain monkey even saw hope.

Yu Changsheng felt the summons from the Talisman Jade.

"Looks like the selection ended."

He turned back to glance at that frantic wild mountain monkey, revealed a smile, waved hand to recall Chi She Wang.

"We'll meet again!"

Wild mountain monkey angrily hammered ground, streaks of sharp spikes rushed skyward.

However, Yu Changsheng and Zhuang Yan's figures had already turned into light points, disappeared within the Ten Thousand Beasts Secret Realm.

Outside world.

On the grassland at the Secret Realm entrance.

Row after row of Outer Disciples sat cross-legged here, some vomiting blood, some lying on the ground at death's door, some missing arms or legs.

Of the three thousand Outer Disciples, only one-fifth survived in the end.

And among this one-fifth, many had become Fei Fei; even with Talisman Jade they could not become Outer Sect Disciples.

Elder Wan scanned a circle; only several dozen disciples were standing, their condition acceptable.

"Elder Wan, are you satisfied with a selection like this?"

"Three thousand Outer Disciples, so many dead — who will dare participate next year? The Sect is killing the goose that lays the golden eggs."

Yun Hejing shook her head, sighing with some pity.

Elder Wan let out a cold hum and said, "What does a little girl like you understand? Short of Outer Disciples? The Yu Fang Market outside can recruit as many as we want."

"The Outer Sect Disciples our Wanxiang Sect selects from now on will have no Fei Fei; only this way will the Sect's wholehearted nurturing of resources produce excellent Zhong Xin."

Hearing this, Yun Hejing fell silent, clearly not agreeing with his words.

She glanced at Yu Zhangsheng's location, and her heart settled somewhat; she could not care about the other Outer Disciples, but this one — from now on she would surely protect and escort him.

"Before long, he will perhaps become my Little Junior Sister." Yun Hejing mused to herself.
