38: Killing you is also self-defense

Xiao Tianwu was extremely confident; he firmly believed that the young man before him was definitely not as strong as him!

So he took a stance, just waiting for Lin Wu to suffer a setback and be severely injured.

Everyone else shared the same view.

A Body Refinement Sixth Level challenging a True Qi First Stage—no matter how you looked at it, this was inconceivable, and there was no chance of victory whatsoever.

However, to everyone's surprise, Lin Wu's single Spear strike severed Xiao Tianwu's weapon!

Then, a Spear smashed into his head!

The force was surging and powerful; just one blow almost made Xiao Tianwu vomit blood.

Xiao Tianwu quickly retreated several steps, forcibly swallowing the blood in his mouth.

"Hehe, that move of yours just now was a bit interesting; it successfully forced out thirty percent of my Cultivation Technique power."

Lin Wu felt speechless inside.

You were almost beaten to the point of vomiting blood just now; was it necessary to act so arrogant?

"Whatever moves you have, use them quickly. Today, you must kneel and call me 'Grandpa.'"

"You probably don't have the life for that!" Xiao Tianwu roared.

The two became entangled in combat again.

During the battle, Lin Wu noticed that Xiao Tianwu slowly began to make lethal moves.

Originally, he had intended to win over Lin Wu and firmly control him within the Xiao Family's sphere of influence.

But now, seeing the negotiations break down,

the intention shifted from winning him over to eliminating him, as the two Families already had a feud, a hatred that could be called a mortal enmity!

Lin Wu no longer dared to be negligent.

Originally, a True Qi Realm practitioner only had about one hundred thousand units of strength; whether in defense or power, he couldn't compare to himself.

Deciding the victor was naturally effortless.

But now it was different.

The Xiao Tianwu before him was already very dangerous... Lin Wu looked at the System panel beside him again.

"Name: Xiao Tianwu"

"Realm: True Qi First Stage"

"Entries: Fire Dragon (Blue), Flame Control (Blue), Slightly Proficient in Hidden Weapons (Green)"

"Fire Dragon (Blue): Control over elements, capable of transforming flames into a Fire Dragon, possessing some bionic combat methods."

"Flame Control (Blue): The condensed flames have a higher temperature."

"Slightly Proficient in Hidden Weapons (Green): Can use hidden weapons in combat to achieve unexpected effects."

Lin Wu checked the entries while fighting.

"This old geezer's entries are quite ordinary..."

"He completely relied on resources to pile his way into the True Qi Realm."

If it came to a contest of strength, Xiao Tianwu was not his opponent, but he was in the True Qi Realm and could control True Qi, which was the most troublesome aspect.

Lin Wu no longer wanted to delay, especially since he had made the first lethal move.

"Rainstorm Pear Blossom Spear!"

Lin Wu roared in his heart, and the Blood Flame Spear in his hand immediately became swift and brutal, striking Xiao Tianwu's long saber like raindrops.

Stronger power combined with greater speed.

Xiao Tianwu was suddenly unable to parry.

"How can this kid's strength be so immense!"

Cold sweat seeped from Xiao Tianwu's forehead.

Today he could challenge him at Body Refinement Sixth Level; if he reached the True Qi Realm in the future, wouldn't he slaughter his Xiao Family?

If the Xiao Family completely collapsed, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"He must die here today!"

Xiao Tianwu also decided to go all out; insulting others like this today would surely lead to cruel retaliation in the future... One must cut the grass by the roots!

The person before him must die!

All of Xiao Tianwu's True Qi gathered, secretly hidden within his sleeve, where a specially made alloy needle resided.

"I'll use True Qi to propel this needle; it can instantly penetrate fifty times the hardness of steel. Aiming for his heart, this kid will surely die. At worst, I'll spend twenty years in jail!"

Xiao Tianwu retreated a few steps, first exhaling a Fire Dragon with True Qi as a cover, then the alloy needle shot out from his sleeve!

The Fire Dragon was ferocious!

And the alloy needle in the shadows also shot out.

Lin Wu shattered the Fire Dragon with a single Spear strike, but he couldn't dodge the alloy needle at all.

At this moment, the other examiners all wanted to intervene, but it was too late... Ding!

The alloy needle accurately struck Lin Wu's heart.

Just as everyone thought Lin Wu was about to fall,

the alloy needle was actually bounced away.

Xiao Tianwu was stunned... This needle, capable of penetrating steel fifty times its hardness, couldn't penetrate his skin?

"Damn it, you finally made a lethal move!"

Lin Wu raised his Blood Flame Spear, appearing before Xiao Tianwu at nearly three times the speed.

"Die!"

Lin Wu thrust his Spear more than twenty times in one second!

Each strike was imbued with Dragon Flame.

Xiao Tianwu controlled his True Qi to form a protective shield in front of him!

At first, it was very effective, able to resist Lin Wu's attacks.

But as Lin Wu concentrated his attacks on one point,

the True Qi protective layer was eventually broken through!

"Ah!"

With a shriek from Xiao Tianwu,

the Blood Flame Spear pierced his throat!

"Die!"

Lin Wu also didn't want to let the tiger return to the mountains.

He then fiercely thrust dozens more Spears until the Xiao Tianwu before him was completely riddled with holes!

"Idiot, isn't it better to live well? You just had to come looking for death."

Lin Wu put away his Spear while fusing the entries... The other examiners and officials were completely shocked.

The remaining nine on the leaderboard stared intently at Lin Wu.

"Where did this monster Lin Wu come from? A Body Refinement Sixth Level actually killed a True Qi First Stage. He can probably challenge True Qi Second Stage or even Third Stage now!"

"I saw Xiao Tianwu use a hidden weapon just now. Logically, even a True Qi Second Stage would be injured, but he's completely unharmed?"

"What Cultivation Technique does he cultivate!"

The other examiners felt a wave of lingering fear; fortunately, they hadn't provoked him, otherwise, they might also have been stabbed to death by a Body Tempering Realm practitioner!

And those other aristocratic Families who originally wanted to take Lin Wu as a disciple now had even more fervent eyes, wishing they could knock Lin Wu out and take him away.

Even Qin Zhu, who had been behind the scenes, was stirring with excitement!

If he could recruit this fierce general into his sect, why would he worry about not dominating?

"This person is truly terrifying; his future achievements will definitely surpass the Grandmaster Realm. He will most likely be our superior in the future."

"Terrifying, truly terrifying!"

The other students were too shocked to speak.

And at this moment, the chief examiner Qin Zhu spoke.

"Now, as the chief examiner and Chief Coordinator, I announce that Xiao Tianwu attempted to murder Lin Wu during a normal sparring match."

"And student Lin Wu bravely fought back, acting in legitimate self-defense. Although he is dead, the punishment and compensation must still be enforced. We now order the Wu City Xiao Family to compensate Lin Wu 10 billion yuan!"

As soon as these words were uttered, everyone stopped discussing; the matter was now officially settled.

Lin Wu was in legitimate self-defense and had done nothing wrong.

However, the deceased Xiao Tianwu was guilty of murder!

At this time, Lin Wu had also completely fused the entries.

In fact, he only fused one, which was the Fire Dragon trait.

The other entries were either too trashy or not supported for Fusion.

This trait was quite decent, considered an enhancement for the use of flames.
