Chapter 23 Year End Exam - Part 3
Bai Ming got up the stage, he quickly glanced at his opponents. Including Bai Ming, there were a total of 6 members on the stage right now.
The crowd looked on with much anticipation, but most of them placed their hopes on Bai Ming. A medium-grade talent who can stand equally with a high-grade talent how incredibly rare.
Even these high-grade talents felt much pressure from Bai Ming.
"Begin" the announcer shouted.
"Bai Ming! I will be the one fighting you!" The instant the battle began Bei Ju yelled loudly and dashed towards Bai Ming, it seemed like he wanted to engage in a close combat battle with Bai Ming. He was determined to wash away the previous humiliation, and once and for all destroy Bai Ming's shadow in his heart.
Bai Ming's expression was like cold steel, he didn't take a step forward, he stood there like an unmoving mountain.
In a breaths time, Bei Ju had already appeared in front of Bai Ming, with a swish he slashed his sword vertically at Bai Ming.
Bai Ming who was like a sculpture the entire time suddenly moved, he easily dogged the incoming sword with minimal effort. Next, he quickly took a step forward, his right hand formed a fist as he effortlessly struck Bei JU's abdomen.
Crash!
Bei Ju was sent flying, he crashed heavily on the ground, but he wasn't injured heavily.
Silence.
Everyone below the stage were stunned, and everyone on the stage were also stunned.
"Peng, peng, peng, peng!"
Bai Ming didn't give them time to recover from their stupor. He charged forward, effortlessly dogging their attacks and sending every single person who stood in his way off the stage with a single punch from him.
One has to understand that although his cultivation level was only at the 9th layer of the bone forging realm, he was also a body cultivator his speed, strength, endurance, vitality, and defense were on a completely different level compared to these children.
There was absolute silence. Wasn't this guy too powerful? Since when has there been such a bone-forging realm monster in the Ye clan, never!
The clan head and the elders who were watching the competition all had serious expressions, their eyes occasionally glimmered. The moment Bai Ming displayed his prowess they used their divine sense to scan him, but they got nothing out of it, he was really just a bone-forging realm expert.
Many of the students stared with their mouths wide open, they were awestruck.
How did he do it? numerous people had this huge question mark on their heads.
Bai Ming sheepishly gazed around, the result of this fight was only natural in his eyes. There were only two things that Bai Ming was worried about in today's fight, one was Su Ming and secondly, he was worried that somebody might have secretly broken through the elemental realm yesterday, but fortunately, it didn't happen.
"The winner of the 5th round, Bai Ming" The announcer declared loudly.
"You have 30 minutes to rest before the final round." the announcer informed. Bai Ming nodded in response.
Bai Ming began to meditate, even though he wasn't tired, he was also not in a hurry.
Half an hour quickly passed.
The final battle, Su Ming vs Bai Ming!
The final match finally started. The two geniuses stood in the same arena, staring at each other.
Su Ming stood ten meters away from Bai Ming, his gaze tranquil. His entire being emitted the aura of absolute confidence.
Whereas Bai Ming's gaze was cold, his expression tough like the monolith.
"Brother Bai, you have gotten this far it's commendable. But...you are not my match, I am an elemental realm expert while you are only a bone forging realm expert. Even with the help of your treasure sword you are not able to contest with me. It is better for you to admit defeat!" Su Ming stared calmly at Bai Ming, speaking unhurriedly. Even though on the surface he spoke such words, but deep within him, he really wanted to beat this hateful Bai Ming, he clearly remembered how Bai Ming wanted to take advantage of him during the hunting exam.
Bai Ming's lips curled up forming an arrogant smile his gaze showing utter contempt, he spoke with his hands behind his back "If it wasn't for those precious rewards I would have withdrawn from the fight, otherwise how could I stoop so low to fight a filthy scum like you, spit."
Arrogance!!
Such Arrogance!!!
For a moment, the stomachs of the spectators churned, as all kinds of thoughts surged in their minds.
Su Ming's face turned dark, his tone unavoidably had become colder from anger "Hmph, I was polite and respectful to you asking you to take a step back, It was because I had no intention of bullying a weak person, but it seems you're not worthy of my kindness."
Bai Ming heard this and sneered openly, he spoke with much disgust "Enough, stop your act of hypocrisy. You were showing me you're kind intentions? then why don't you admit defeat, that will really be an act of kindness. Tell me can you do it?"
Su Ming stared at him coldly "Hmph, so much nonsense! why should I do what you want, come fight me if you have guts!"
"You have finally shown your true colors, I had already seen through you long ago." Bai Ming paused for a moment before he shouted loudly with much emotion "Today I will not only be fighting for myself, but I will also represent the will of our dead classmates who died unjustly because of you, If it wasn't because of you they would still be here with all of us competing side by side. Listen carefully, You are responsible for their deaths, you are the reason that they are dead!! you are the person who killed them!! Now tell me, where are your morals!? where is it!?"
Once these words were spoken absolute silence enveloped the surrounding.
These icy words directly pierced through the deepest part of Su Ming's fragile heart, these words directly whipped at his soul. Su Ming's face had turned completely pale as paper. He wanted to rebuke him, but there were no words he could say, his fists were tightly clenched, soundlessly expressing the regret and self-blame that he was feeling deep in his heart. He had once felt the same way, but because of the clan head's efforts he was able to get past it and buried these useless thoughts deep within him, but now because of Bai Ming these painful thoughts resurfaced again.
The clan head's face turned incomparably dark, a feeling of loathing towards Bai Ming formed in him, even the elders had cold lights flickering in their eyes.
"It's time" Bai Ming's spiritual energy erupted as he suddenly dashed towards Su Ming with his top speed, he ferociously swung his treasure sword.
Primeval sword art - 2nd layer, Bai Ming repeatedly used the sword art, sending pale green sword rays toward Su Ming. In an instant six sword rays rushed toward Su Ming.
But Su Ming stood there like a lifeless corpse, Bai Ming saw this and was elated as he continued to use his sword art. But just when the furthest sword ray was just in front of him, Su Ming suddenly moved.
He Unsheathed his sword and slashed forward, an extremely terrifying sword light was released. It easily destroyed Bai Ming's attacks as the sword ray continued to move toward Bai Ming.
Having been slowed down by his earlier attack, Bai Ming was able to dodge it with some effort.
Bai Ming quickly glanced at the clan head from the corner of his eye, But he quickly shifted his focus toward Su Ming. He sighed internally seeing that his little plot failed, but he wasn't too disappointed.
"You traitor, do you feel proud about yourself? Remember you're a scum, a scum who was the reason for the death of his classmates." Bai Ming continued to shout relentlessly.
"Ahhhhhhh!" Su Ming yelled loudly, his eyes were blazing in fury, his expression malevolent.
"Mountain-slashing sword art!!" Su Ming shouted as he used his strongest attack. This was a mid-grade sword art, The clan head had personally taught him this sword art.
If this attack were to land on Bai Ming, he would definitely be sent flying out and have a few of his bones broken. This was considering that he manages to block it with his treasure sword, if not he would definitely die.
Everyone looked on intently, they were expecting Bai Ming to dodge this fearsome attack.
But Bai Ming's following actions made the spectator's eyes wide open, they looked on with dumbfounded looks.
Even the clan head and the clan elders showed shocked expressions.
Bai Ming had a slight smile as he looked at the incoming sword ray, his arms were stretched open as if he wanted to embrace the sword ray.
He was simply courting death.
Su Ming witnessed Bai Ming's actions, and his heart immediately sank. If this sword ray came in contact with Bai Ming, Bai Ming would definitely be sliced in half, he would die. And if Bai Ming were to die, Su Ming would be immediately disqualified from the competition according to the rules.
Now, Su Ming began to panic. His heart was extremely flustered. The sword ray was almost about to reach Bai Ming, what to do?? his mind went into utter chaos.
But what he didn't know was that Bai Ming wasn't an ordinary bone-forging realm cultivator, his body after cultivating the rotten blood art was as durable as a semi-low-grade treasure. But even with his tough body if he were to take this attack directly, he would suffer a serious injury but that's all.
In front of Su Ming, there was only one option now, he had to cancel his attack. But Cancelling an attack isn't that simple, if he were to cancel it now Su Ming would immediately face a huge backlash, but he didn't have any other choice Unless he wanted to be disqualified.
Su Ming ferociously clenched his teeth, with great regret he forcefully canceled his attack, the horrifying sword ray quickly vanished into nothingness.
Puke
Su Ming began to crazily vomit blood and bleed from his seven orifices. In an instant he was completely drenched in blood, his entire body felt extremely weak.
In the very next second, he suddenly felt a an enormous pressure hitting the back of his neck. His vision started to darken, and he directly lost consciousness as he fell down.
Bai Ming stood behind Su Ming and indifferently stared at the unconscious body of Su Ming.
"It seems I have won.."
