138: This day next year will be your death anniversary

"It seems the City Lord and the others have stabilized the situation."

Captain Fu, who had been waiting on the ground for a long time, breathed a sigh of relief.

He began to assist the other Patrol Guards in suppressing the Demonic Beasts rushing outward.

Among these Demonic Beasts, there were even four-star and five-star existences.

Even with Captain Fu joining the battlefield, it was merely drinking poison to quench thirst.

This was just an insignificant area within the vast Luofeng City.

As of now, Luofeng City had descended into chaos due to the destruction caused by the Demonic Beasts that had broken through the defensive lines.

Corroders and Crawlers that had long been lurking in various dark corners suddenly rushed out to attack passersby.

Even with the notification from Captain Fu, the Patrol Guards and the Demon Suppression Division acted immediately, but it was still like trying to put out a burning cart of firewood with a cup of water.

Guan Zhenyue and other martial arts gym owners led the Martial Artists from their gyms to assist the Demon Suppression Division in suppressing the Demonic Beasts.

On the other side, at the Great Exam Plains.

Guo Kai, Director Zhou Bohao, and the others also received the news immediately.

When the abyss rift appeared and the Black Scaled Flood Dragon wreaked havoc in Luofeng City, Director Zhou Bohao had taken several principals and left first to help suppress the chaos.

At that time, the Great Exam had not been suspended.

This was a decision Director Zhou Bohao made after a brief observation and careful consideration.

If the Great Exam were suspended at this moment, the candidates from Luofeng City would be at a disadvantage in the Great Exam.

He did not have the authority to extend the duration of the Great Exam.

Moreover, there were no signs of riots among the Demonic Beasts here.

That was why Director Zhou Bohao made such a decision.

Besides, if it were really suspended, I'm afraid these candidates wouldn't be reconciled to it either.

But not long after they left, the candidates hunting Demonic Beasts in the Great Exam Plains noticed something wrong.

"These Demonic Beasts clearly haven't changed in strength, so why are they so much more troublesome?"

Xie Tengfei's squad managed to kill a Body Tempering Realm Late Stage Demonic Beast with great difficulty.

Jia Xiaowen hurriedly bandaged one of the team members who was still shaken.

This was the umpteenth Body Tempering Realm Late Stage Demonic Beast they had hunted.

But only this one almost killed their teammate!

If it hadn't been for Xie Tengfei unleashing his hidden potential, that person would likely have died right here.

Not only Xie Tengfei, but many other candidate squads also encountered such situations.

The Demonic Beasts that were originally suppressed suddenly went berserk, injuring or even killing many candidates.

However, at this moment, Luofeng City was already in complete chaos.

Only some citizens who had already taken refuge in safe areas were still paying attention to the Martial Dao Great Exam.

Some drones captured the tragic scenes of candidates' deaths, which were even pixelated.

The increasing number of candidate deaths triggered extreme dissatisfaction in the live stream chat.

"What is wrong with these officials and principals? Do they only care about their political achievements?"

"So many candidates have died, they aren't your children, so of course you don't feel the pain!"

"Cancel the Great Exam quickly. If this continues, the next generation of Luofeng City will be severed!"

"Are your hearts made of iron?"

Watching the chaotic live stream chat, more and more citizens were spewing profanities.

The principals present also began to hesitate.

"Old Guo, the number of casualties among the candidates is increasing, and it is about to exceed the quota soon!"

"Let's suspend the Martial Dao Great Exam!"

The principals of several other Elementary Martial Dao Academies frowned and tried to persuade Guo Kai.

Before Director Zhou Bohao left, he handed over the authority to supervise the Great Exam to the strongest person here: Guo Kai.

If they wanted to suspend it, they had to get Guo Kai's consent.

Guo Kai was still somewhat hesitant.

The Martial Dao Great Exam of Shenxia Country has casualty quotas.

As long as the casualty rate does not exceed 10%, it is within the permissible range.

This was also the reason why Director Zhou Bohao insisted on not suspending the Martial Dao Great Exam before.

But now, the number of casualties has risen sharply in a short period, and it is about to exceed the warning line.

As a principal who watched the students grow up with his own eyes, he naturally felt unbearable.

"But if we suspend it now, relying on the points from this time, I'm afraid our Luofeng City will be at the bottom this time!"

"Old Guo, do you really only see grades in your eyes?"

One principal reprimanded him.

Guo Kai shook his head.

"My students are in there too. Of course, I don't want them to get hurt!"

"But the path of Martial Dao will not be smooth sailing. To become a strong person, one must endure many challenges!"

"If they can't even get past this hurdle, when they encounter danger, should they still choose to escape?"

Guo Kai's words silenced the other principals.

They were able to become four-star Martial Masters; their strength naturally didn't fall from the sky.

To possess their current strength, they all killed their way out from mountains of corpses and seas of blood!

How could they not understand the principles Guo Kai was talking about?

But they were just like some ordinary parents.

They were not afraid of sword mountains or seas of fire themselves, but once their own children or students encountered danger, it would make them anxious and worried.

"Tsk tsk tsk, what a moving and warm scene!"

Just then, a cold voice came from the air.

That's right, just this voice made everyone present feel a chill.

"This voice is... Qian Sihai?"

"You principals have good memories!"

As the voice rang out, Qian Sihai, wearing a hideous bone armor, flew over from a distance.

"Want to kill people from my Qian family? Then go to hell together!"

Qian Sihai sneered and, without any pleasantries, attacked directly.

A huge jet-black palm condensed in the air and grabbed toward Guo Kai and the others on the podium.

"Qian Sihai, you are actually so arrogant!"

Huang Nan shouted angrily and made the first move.

Everyone was a four-star Martial Master. Even if they didn't know each other inside out, they had a certain understanding of each other's strength.

Although Qian Sihai's strength was not bad, wanting to take on ten by himself was wishful thinking!

Huang Nan thrust his spear and flew out, colliding with the jet-black palm with a bang.

Crack!

The moment they touched, the sound of the spear snapping suddenly rang out.

The spear in Huang Nan's hand snapped instantly.

The broken spear hit Huang Nan in the chest.

Bones shattered, and Huang Nan spat out a mist of blood, falling down at a very fast speed.

"Old Huang!"

The principals of the Third Academy and the Fourth Academy flew up hurriedly, supporting the seriously injured Huang Nan as they landed slowly.

The contempt that everyone originally had in their eyes vanished.

What replaced it was deep dread.

When did Qian Sihai possess such strong power?

How could even Huang Nan not be his match?

Being a four-star Martial Master, Huang Nan could become the principal of the Second Academy, naturally not just because of how strong his teaching ability was.

There was another most important reason: his own powerful strength.

Only if the principal is strong enough can they better stimulate the passion of the students to strive.

And Huang Nan, who was second only to Guo Kai among all the principals, couldn't even last one move in front of Qian Sihai?

This gap had reached an unimaginable level.

"This time next year will be your death anniversary!"

Qian Sihai sneered and waved his large hand.
