The moment Xia Xinghe stepped onto the stage, the TianChu Martial Academy immediately unleashed their trump card. From this, it could be seen how eager the TianChu Martial Academy was to kill Xia Xinghe!

In that instant, everyone's gazes were fixated on Xia Xinghe who was in the middle of the storm. However, no one dared to question He Yu.

He Yu represented the TianChu Martial Academy and questioned the rules set by He Yu. That was to question the TianChu Martial Academy!

Compared to Eastsea City, it was not even worth mentioning. Not to mention these ordinary citizens, even if there were hundreds of thousands of them, in front of the TianChu Martial Academy, they were still the weakest and most insignificant existences!

Even though ordinary people did not dare to question He Yu, it did not mean that everyone did. At the very least, Geng Ran and Lan Tong, who had fallen out with the TianChu Martial Academy, dared to do so.

"Despicable." Lan Tong shouted coldly, not giving the TianChu Martial Academy any face.

He just glanced at Lan Tong indifferently, and said righteously, "I am also thinking for the sake of all the warriors in Eastsea City. After all, the opportunity to enter the TianChu Martial Arts Academy is only once a year, and once you enter the academy, your path of martial arts will become much smoother."

He Yu's words were filled with righteousness.

If Xia Xinghe really did fail in the first stage, then the several hundred people on the stage would be able to successfully advance to the second stage. According to the normal competition rules, if one person could advance to the last stage by ten percent, then that would already be a very good result!

As expected, the moment He Yu's voice fell, he immediately obtained the support of the group of participants on the platform.

"Young Master He's magnanimity is admirable."

"The TianChu Martial Academy is the sacred ground for the cultivators of Chu. Entering the academy is my lifelong goal."

"The Tianchu Martial Arts Academy has relaxed the criteria for admission to the academy. For us cultivators, this is a fortunate event!"

The hundreds of people on the battle stage were all boiling over. The waves of flattery quickly suppressed Lan Tong's discontent.

"How is it? The TianChu Martial Academy's decision is very popular. " He Yu laughed coldly as he continued, "If Xia Xingchen is scared, then we shouldn't participate in the Tianchu Martial Arts Academy's entrance examination."

Not taking part in the Heavenly Chu Martial Arts Academy's admissions test?

Didn't Xia Xinghe say earlier that he would give TianChu Academy a special entrance examination? Wouldn't that become a joke?

He Yu's thoughts were meticulous. With just a few words, he had forced Xia Xingchen into a dead end.

But, was this really a dead end?

"Then that's it." Suddenly, Xia Xinghe lightly waved his hand, as he casually said this sentence, agreeing with He Yu's words.

In an instant, everyone, including the contestants on the arena, as well as Chu Qingcheng and the rest who were below the platform, including He Yu, Xue Long, and the members from the three great families all stared at Xia Xingchen with gazes of astonishment …

How could he jump into a trap set up by the TianChu Martial Academy so easily?

Xia Xinghe was actually dumbfounded? Or was he crazy? Or was he really that confident?

Everyone could not help but have this question arise in their minds.

Xia Xinghe didn't intend to explain the situation to the crowd. He calmly jumped off the platform and walked to the side of Chu Qingcheng and the rest.

"Young master Xia …" Chu Qingcheng wanted to say something, but she hesitated. Evidently, she wanted to dissuade Xia Xinghe.

"It's fine." Only then did she lower her voice and say, "This pill is called the Instantaneous Spirit Pill. After consuming it, you will be able to stimulate the potential within your body for an instant, and can even achieve the miraculous effect of breaking through several realms in a short period of time. It will probably be able to sustain you for around ten breaths of time, and after a period of time, the cultivator will recover to the state they were in before consuming the pill. Furthermore, his body will be extremely weak for a period of time."

The effect of breaking through several realms in an instant?

If Chu Qingcheng had really consumed the Instantaneous Spirit Pill, even if she didn't have the time to unleash that strike, ten breaths of time would be sufficient for her to slay Xue Long!

This really was a life saving pill.

Lan Tong and the rest who were surrounding Xia Xingchen subconsciously held their breaths after hearing his words, staring blankly at the scene before them.

There was actually such a miraculous pill in this world?

Chu Qingcheng was stunned, but she still accepted the medicinal pellet given to her by Xia Xinghe out of instinct. After a moment, Chu Qingcheng snapped out of her daze and glanced at Xia Xinghe with concern in her eyes, "What about you?"

"I used the remaining Lan family resources to make two. I still have one left." Xia Xinghe said indifferently.

Two Shun Ling Dans, even if only for the space of ten breaths, was more than enough to control the entire situation!

Phew...

When everyone heard this, they all let out a sigh.

If they really did fight with the TianChu Martial Academy and the three great families, Xia Xing's side might not have lost, and even if they won miserably in the end, it would still be a result that exceeded their expectations. After all, without the two Shun Ling Dans, Xia Xing's side had no chance of winning!

Unknowingly, the gazes of reverence and adoration appeared in the eyes of the crowd as they stared at Xia Xinghe. Only Chu Qingcheng's beautiful eyes were filled with curiosity and interest.

After that, Xia Xinghe turned around and leapt onto the battle stage. He stared at He Yu teasingly and said in a casual tone, "Can we start now?"

He Yu narrowed his eyes, his gaze drifting between Chu Qingcheng and Xia Xinghe. The scene where Xia Xinghe passed the medicinal pellet to Chu Qingcheng was too secretive. Not only did He Yu and the rest of the crowd not see it, even the several hundred thousand spectators couldn't find a single flaw!

Xia Xinghe suddenly stepped down from the stage. What exactly did he do? It was a mystery …

"No matter what schemes and tricks you play, you will die. Even if you are lucky enough to pass the first phase of the examination, I still have a trick up my sleeve!" He Yu laughed coldly in his heart, but once again shouted with a righteous tone, "There is not much time left. All participants, you may begin."

As the sound of He Yu's voice faded, the gazes of the hundreds of participants on the platform were all riveted onto Xia Xingchen.

Almost at this moment, the hundreds of people also came to a tacit agreement to work together to eliminate Xia Xinghe!

The few hundred people stared vigilantly at Xia Xingchen as they cautiously moved their feet. Not long after, these few hundred people formed a circle, surrounding Xia Xinghe in the center. Their eyes were all filled with coldness and killing intent!

What did Xia Xinghe dying have to do with them?

As long as they could successfully advance to the second stage of the exam, they did not care if they fought with more people or not. Even more so, they did not care if they became the blades of the TianChu Martial Academy!

Below the platform, the spectators, including Chu Qingcheng and the rest, as well as Xue Long and He Yu, all stared intently at Xia Xinghe, who was standing in the middle of the crowd. They didn't even blink, not wanting to miss a single detail.

For a time, the central Martial Arts Practice Field was terrifyingly quiet.

"It's begun?" Facing the crowd of several hundred people surrounding them, Xia Xing didn't panic in the slightest. He was calm as he muttered to himself, "The show has finally begun."
