"I give up."

The crowd roared in excitement when they heard Qi Huan gave up. Some of the students at the front have already passed out and were taken to the infirmary. The pressure that Qi Huan emanated was not a joke.

Lin Cai smiled. "You need to learn how to control your killing intent while battling. Killing intent can pressure your opponent, but not all of them are going to fall for that. As long as you control your state of mind and circulate your Eon Energy, you can actually withstand that."

Sneaking a glance at the stands, Qi Huan could see that Ye Jiao was perfectly fine. He smiled. "Right. Thank you for your guidance, Senior Sister Lin."

"Actually, if it's not because I'm already used to a certain someone's killing intent, I won't be able to defeat you."

Lin Cai's voice travelled to Qi Huan's ear through voice transmission while the girl turned around and ran back to her place happily. With her lively attitude, it was truly a striking contrast to the terrifying girl he saw in the battle just now. Even under the large pressure, she was 

still smiling beautifully.

Turning his head to the Elite Disciple's seat, he could see Qin Zheng looking at him with a faint smile on his lips. There was a glint in his eyes, but his expression was unreadable. There was a clear message there, but Qi Huan chose not to think too much as he returned back to his seat.

"You did great," Lu Wan murmured. He didn't feel like praising this man.

Qi Huan smiled. "Of course, I'm great."

Ye Jiao giggled. "That tactic would have worked if it's other Core Disciple, Senior Brother Qi."

"Why is that?"

"Senior Brother Qin also has killing intent," Ye Jiao explained. She still remembered her fight alongside Qin Zheng a long time ago. At that time, she came to understand what it meant to have a thick killing intent. Chills ran down her spine whenever she recalled that scene.

"I see."

"Next, Elite Disciple Ye Jiao."

"It's my turn," Ye Jiao grinned and ran to the arena excitedly. Now, she could finally battle against Qin Zheng openly again.

Lu Wan shook his head. "If one sees these two girls when they're not fighting, they will never expect that both of them are talented geniuses."

They looked no different than ordinary children around their age (12 to 13 years old) that loved to play around. One way or another, they have their way to hide the fact that they were Eon Energy Master. If not because he had seen the two of them fought, he would never have guessed it.

"Right," Qi Huan agreed. He sat down and controlled his Eon Energy circulation that Lin Cai disturbed. It was out of his expectation that the young girl could do something like this even under the constant attack she gave him.

Ye Jiao entered the arena, and the referee looked at her. "Pick one of the senior Elite Disciple."

This was the second time someone picked Qin Zheng, so the students were no longer surprised. Of course, Qin Zheng also didn't reject the challenge she gave to him as he slowly made his way down. His refined walk made everyone feel as if they were watching a high ranked noble preparing for his battle.

Qin Zheng stopped in front of Ye Jiao. "I won't hold back this time."

"Just give me your all." Ye Jiao grinned.

"Begin!"

Her dagger and Qin Zheng's sword appeared almost at the exact same time. The two of them dashed to the middle as their dagger and sword clashed with one another.

Clang!

Waves of Eon Energy pushed the two of them back. They looked calm as they dashed to one another. With his sword raised, Qin Zheng made a slice on the air aiming straight to Ye Jiao's head.

Clang!

Using her dagger to block the attack, Ye Jiao imbued more Eon Energy to her dagger. She utilized her Eon Energy to cover up her entire body, for Qin Zheng's attack was always so powerful. The cracks on the ground around her legs was apparent.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

With each strike, the waves of Eon Energy continued to hit the ground and everything else around them. The students who were watching were astonished. In just a split second, the arena no longer looked the same.

"How come their attack has this large effect?" Lu Wan was dumbfounded.

Qi Huan opened his eyes. A wry smile hung on his lips. "They're known to have destroyed almost half of the closed door arena. With their attack, it's not really a wonder, right?"

Destroyed the arena?

Lu Wan didn't watch all of their spars, so he only heard about it a bit. Now that he thought about it, there was the time when Ye Jiao didn't spar with Qin Zheng because the academy needed to repair the arenas.

It seemed that the destruction came from them…

"But they're still Eon Energy Master Rank 3. No matter how strong they are, they won't be able to destroy the arena, right?"

"The arena is built just for new students. At most, it would only design to withstand the attack of Eon Energy Master Rank 4 early stage. Their attacks are no longer at that level," Qi Huan replied calmly.

Even outside the arena, he could faintly sense the waves of Eon Energy that these two emanated from the arena. It clearly told him the truth that no matter what, these two already have strength on par with Eon Energy Master Rank 4 early stage. Even as someone who also prioritized strength, Qi Huan was only on par with them.

"How… is it possible?" Lu Wan muttered in disbelief.

Qin Zheng has talent in enhancement, and from the looks of it, it should be body enhancement. It wouldn't be strange if he grew stronger because of it. But what about Ye Jiao? She didn't have talent in that field!

The one who felt confused was not only them. Even the vice leader, Shen Dian, was also looking at the arena with interest. He sent sound transmission to Elder Qian, who was in the elders' area.

"Elder Qian, did you teach that lass some techniques to grow stronger physically?"

"I didn't," Elder Qian replied. "I just teach her in the matter of runes and arrays because she didn't wish to follow the same specialization as me."

Shen Dian stroked his beard. He would need to have a talk with them later.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

As their attacks grew fiercer, the arena's condition grew worse. Elder Qian stepped forward and started to draw runes to strengthen the barrier in case their attack destroyed it. It would be disastrous for the disciples that watched from the sidelines.

"I guess it's time," Qin Zheng's gaze turned sharper, and his sword moved as Eon Energy flowed rapidly into the sword. At the same time, heavy pressure emanated from him, seemingly asking everyone to submit.

Ye Jiao gritted her teeth and used her Eon Energy to form a barrier around her body. This was not the first time she faced this attack, but every time, Qin Zheng would grow stronger in his attack. This forced her to create better defense in contending against this particular attack over and over.

*cough*

At that moment, numerous students also felt the pressure. Lu Wan's face paled immediately as he circulated his Eon Energy and sneaked a glance at Qi Huan. "You two are crazy!"

Qi Huan didn't reply and just looked straight into the arena. He knew that Qin Zheng also has a thick killing intent, but he couldn't understand how someone even younger than him could possibly learn it to this level?

It was as if there were already thousands if not millions of people whom Qin Zheng killed in his life, who was only 12 to 13 years old.

Swish! Slash! Slash! Slash!

Numerous air sword blades came out of Qin Zheng's attack. It was heading to every direction in the arena, creating a total mess out of the area.

In the middle of the arena, Ye Jiao stood with her dagger in front of her, forming a defensive stature. There was a layer of Eon Energy around her body, preventing the attack from hitting her body. As a result, there were only a few scratches on her body from the attack that managed to breach her defense. However, Ye Jiao knew that she had run out of Eon Energy.

Fighting against Qin Zheng without Eon Energy would be the same as courting death.

Qin Zheng smiled. "Shall we continue?"

His sword was already filled with Eon Energy once more, seemingly ready to attack her with that air sword blades. She didn't know the name of the attack since Qin Zheng didn't utter it loudly, but if that technique attacks her again, she would be wounded heavily.

"I give up."
