The moment Zhong Yaoming left Zhong Nan, he had someone call him over. It was unknown what he said, but when Han Xiao walked out the door the next morning, he saw a tall and sturdy man standing outside his door.

"Seventh Prince, this person has been standing here since morning. I wonder what he's up to?" Little Lei Zi saw Han Xiao come out and quickly ran to his side as he whispered to him.

"I know." Han Xiao nodded his head and walked in front of Zhong Nan. He cupped his hands and asked, "Senior, may I know what matter you have with me?"

"You are Han Xiao, you don't have to say so much nonsense. Yesterday, you injured my cousin Zhong Yaoming. Today, I came to give you a written challenge, inviting you to have a match in the arena in the afternoon." Zhong Nan said in a muffled voice.

"This is because your little brother lost and your big brother came to save us. Senior, you and Senior Zhong have such a good relationship." Han Xiao said sarcastically.

"This has nothing to do with you. I'm just asking if you dare to come or not." Zhong Nan glared at him and asked.

"Will I give up if I say I'm not going to the senior?" Han Xiao squinted.

"Of course not. I will definitely get an explanation from you if you bully Zhong Yaoming." Zhong Nan said.

"Then I can only agree." Han Xiao shrugged his shoulders as if he was helpless.

"Humph, then meet me at the dojo at noon" Zhong Nan then turned around and left.

Seeing that Zhong Nan had left, a cold glint surfaced in Han Xiao's eyes. Although Zhong Nan was concealing his aura, Zhong Nan was still able to detect that Zhong Nan was at least at the middle stage of Awakening Realm, or perhaps at the late stage of Awakening Realm. Zhong Yaoming had Zhong Nan send a challenge to kill him, "Looks like your attack last night was still too light." The corner of Han Xiao's mouth slowly raised into a faint smile. After saying that, he ignored Little Lei Zi's surprised gaze and went back into the house.

It was unknown who intentionally spread the news for only an entire morning. Basically, everyone in the Abyss Academy knew that Zhong Nan would be competing with a new student in the martial arts arena this afternoon. For a time, many people were very interested in this competition, and some even decided to skip the afternoon lessons to watch it.

When the news reached Xiao Zheng's ears, it was still two hours before the sun rose. At that time, he was talking to Leng Qinghe about the Star Glory Central District.

"Competing with Zhong Nan, this Han Xiao really can't stop for a moment." Xiao Zheng said.

"Ignorant brat, although Zhong Nan is at the middle stage of Awakening Transformation, he's known for fighting with his life. Even a late stage Awakened Soul Realm Cultivator can't take advantage of him. Does he think he can challenge someone stronger than him?" Leng Qinghe said with a cold snort.

"You are wrong, as far as I know Han Xiao has already broken through to the early stage of Awakening Realm, he is only one stage away from Zhong Nan, and do you not want to see where the limits of that brat Han Xiao are?" Xiao Zheng asked with a smile in his eyes.

"Early Awakening? How did he break through in half a year?" Even Leng Qinghe found it hard to believe when he heard that Han Xiao had broken through to the early stage of [Soul Transformation].

"I also had the same reaction when I heard about it yesterday. That kid really gave me a big surprise. How about it? Do you want to take a look in the afternoon?" Xiao Zheng asked with a smile.

"I still have some work to do in the afternoon, but I'll try to find some time." Leng Qinghe said lightly.

On the other side, Han Xiao saw Xi Yun sigh for the first time and couldn't help but say, "Senior, you can't be sighing at my face all the time, could it be that getting up too early this morning affected my handsome appearance?" As Han Xiao spoke, he ruffled his hair as if he was really worried that his image would be affected.

"Han Xiao, it's already two hours before sunflower time. Aren't you anxious? One must know that Zhong Nan is known as the young master of the fighting force, and those who fought with him are either heavily injured or disabled. " Xi Yun said anxiously.

"I know, but senior, who told you that I'm the one who values my life?" As Han Xiao said this, the corner of his mouth slowly rose into a demonic smile, as a tinge of blood flashed across his eyes.

Hearing Han Xiao's words, Xi Yun froze on the spot, he didn't know how to respond.

Han Xiao stood up and patted Xi Yun's shoulder. "Senior, don't worry. My life force is comparable to that of the Xiao Qiang's. I won't die so easily."

"What is a cockroach? What does it mean to die?" Xi Yun asked seriously.

Immediately, Han Xiao felt a drop of sweat sliding down his face. Helplessly shrugging, he pushed the door open and walked out.

Walking on the road, Han Xiao could feel that many people's gazes were focused on him, some even pointed at him, as though they were looking at a rare animal.

Shrugging his shoulders, Han Xiao turned around and walked towards the Colosseum. When he arrived at the Colosseum and saw that there weren't many people there, Han Xiao immediately found a corner to lean on, closing his eyes as if he was sleeping.

Not knowing how much time had passed, Han Xiao heard a hubbub of noise, and also heard someone calling his name. He slowly opened his eyes and saw Zhong Nan already standing on the stage, Zhong Yaoming's pig head swollen with pride.

"Elder Cousin Nan, I think Han Xiao must be scared to the point that he doesn't dare to come." Zhong Yaoming shouted arrogantly.

"Who said I didn't dare to come? Senior Zhong, a careful look at you really suits a pig's head." A calm voice came from the back of the crowd. Zhong Yaoming followed the voice and saw Han Xiao rubbing his eyes as he walked towards the arena.

"Han Xiao, you've finally appeared. I thought you were afraid." Zhong Nan looked at Han Xiao viciously and said.

"Sorry, I came early, but because I've been waiting for you for too long, I fell asleep over there." Han Xiao stretched his back and walked up the stage, a faint smile on his face.

"Enough nonsense, let's begin." After Zhong Nan finished speaking, he stomped his feet and charged at Han Xiao with a long spear in his hand.

With a flip of his hand, Han Xiao took out the Eagle Peak Sword from his storage ring. His unfocused gaze immediately became sharp, and ignoring Zhong Nan's spear, he directly picked up the Eagle Peak Sword and shouted, "Heavenly Thunder Demon Slaying!"

A silver energy surged out from Han Xiao's body and quickly wrapped around the Eagle Peak Sword. Following Han Xiao's movements, a silver flash of lightning shot out from the Eagle Peak Sword straight towards Zhong Nan.

Seeing the lightning bolt strike down from the sky, Zhong Nan's eyelids jumped. He felt a sense of danger from the bolt of lightning, but the spear had already pierced through him, leaving him no room to turn around. His eyes hardened as he welcomed the bolt of lightning, pushing his spear forward towards Han Xiao's chest.

"Sizzle sizzle!"

Puff.

"Hiss."

The people below only saw a bolt of lightning strike Zhong Nan, and Zhong Nan's body instantly looked as if it was charred, becoming charred black. At the same time, Zhong Nan's long spear also pierced Han Xiao's shoulder, and the Eagle Peak Sword in Han Xiao's hand similarly pierced through Zhong Nan's shoulder.

They had only exchanged blows with two people, but they were already injured. Besides, they wouldn't suffer any injuries as long as they dodged them. The people in the crowd looked at the two of them with fear in their eyes.

At this time, Xi Yun also understood why Han Xiao said that he was not a life-valuing person.

"Using the split-second that lightning struck Zhong Nan, Han Xiao slightly moved his feet, causing the long spear that should have pierced Zhong Nan's chest to pierce his shoulder. Although it looks like he was injured, compared to Zhong Nan's injury, it's not much." Xiao Zheng said as he looked at Han Xiao in the dark.

Glancing at each other, he saw the determination in both Han Xiao and Zhong Nan's eyes. They both took a step back, threw their weapons away and rushed towards each other.

"Bang! Bang!" The sound of flesh colliding could be heard in the middle of the arena. The two of them moved so quickly that the people below could not see them clearly. As they moved faster, they let out heavy gasps as fresh blood splattered all over the center of the arena.

Han Xiao and Zhong Nan both retreated more than ten steps after giving each other a punch, but Xiao Zheng could tell with a single glance that Zhong Nan had truly been pushed back by Han Xiao. Meanwhile, Han Xiao had used the recoil to dodge Zhong Nan's attack.

"Whoosh, whoosh." Zhong Nan breathed heavily with difficulty, his gaze towards Han Xiao was filled with vigilance and puzzlement. He clearly remembered that many of his fists landed on Han Xiao's body, but why did Han Xiao look so much better than him?

In fact, Zhong Nan didn't know that Han Xiao had dodged most of the punches he landed on him. Although he felt like he hit Han Xiao, he only felt Han Xiao's clothes.

"Zhong Nan, what are you thinking about? Why aren't you getting rid of Han Xiao?" Seeing that Han Xiao wasn't seriously injured, as he expected, Zhong Yaoming couldn't help but yell out.

Hearing Zhong Yaoming's voice, a hint of hatred flashed in Zhong Nan's eyes. He straightened his body and released a large amount of earthen yellow Origin Energy, covering his entire body.

"Earth Spirit Spike." Zhong Nan let out a loud roar and smashed his fists on the ground, a pair of earthen yellow sharp thorns quickly flew towards Han Xiao.

"Earth Soul, Spirit Plunder." When Han Xiao saw Zhong Nan use the Earth Soul, he let out a soft laugh. Large amounts of black soul force surged out from the surface of his body, and when those sharp thorns touched the black soul force, it seemed to have met its nemesis.

Seeing this strange scene, everyone including Zhong Nan had a look of disbelief on their faces. Han Xiao took this opportunity to quickly walk up to Zhong Nan and fiercely punched him with all of his 144,000 strength.

When Zhong Nan saw Han Xiao's actions, he subconsciously punched out. However, the moment he came into contact with Han Xiao, Zhong Nan felt as if his hands were crippled, and his body fell off the stage uncontrollably.

Blood slowly flowed down from Zhong Nan's hands. His thick arms were twisted into a strange shape. Zhong Nan wanted to raise his hands, but the pain from his arms made his heart tighten and he fainted.

Looking at the unconscious Zhong Nan Han Xiao, a faint smile appeared on his face once more. He glanced at Zhong Yaoming, then walked down the stage and left without hesitation.

"Qing He, did you feel Han Xiao's punch earlier? It contained 144,000 power, double the 72,000 power that the Earth Soul should have." Xiao Zheng softly said as he looked at Han Xiao's back.

"This kid still has secrets that we don't know about. Maybe the Earth Soul isn't his entire being, or maybe the Earth Soul is his entire being. Principal, this kid will be under my control in the future." With that, Leng Qinghe turned around and left.
