137: Chapter 137: Changing Appearances, the Battle Begins! Why not just kill off all the rivals?

"Heh... The little ones this year are truly different," a teacher from Jingdu Martial Arts University remarked.

Immediately after, the person beside him added with some doubt, "Has this girl hidden her strength? She has actually reached the Yu Kong Realm; this is truly unbelievable. Could it be..."

Qin Fenghuo's eyes flickered slightly.

He had seen an eighteen-year-old Sky-Walking Grandmaster before.

Seeing another one now, he wasn't as exceptionally excited as he had been last time.

However...

"Investigate her. If everything is in order, regardless of her final results, her courage alone makes her worthy of being nurtured with all our efforts," Qin Fenghuo said seriously.

Of course, whether it was because of her courage or her talent for reaching the Yukong Realm at eighteen, that was hard to say.

Immediately after, he looked toward another area, his brows furrowing.

"What is going on with those extra Sky-Surpassing Level beasts?"

"Professor Qin, it appears to be a normal migration. The area we chose is inherently a dangerous zone. It is very normal for other beasts to intrude. However, just to be safe, we have already dispatched additional personnel near those beasts to ensure we can provide rescue at the first moment should any students encounter them."

Qin Fenghuo's eyes flickered a few times, but he did not say anything more.

Just after he turned away, among the people in front of the monitors, two technicians silently switched the surveillance feeds.

Their movements were natural, as if they were just checking them on schedule.

Their gazes were focused, meticulous, and very serious.

Then, two hands.

One on the left and one on the right, they landed on their shoulders.

Qin Fenghuo stood behind them, his voice calm, but it carried a cold detachment that made them shudder.

"What... are you doing?"

...

"This should be somewhat useful, right?"

On a crooked tree not far from the assessment area, Mu Susu lay slanted on a branch, her eyes full of contemplation.

She hadn't thought of any brilliant plan.

The only thing she did was use some means to let a certain high-level official of Jingdu Martial Arts University know that the evil cult intended to pull some tricks during the freshman assessment.

Hmm, what she did was definitely a righteous act, a good deed to accumulate merit!

However, there might be one small downside...

After learning the news, Jingdu Martial Arts University prepared more thoroughly, which led to... an escalation of the battle!

"Fight! Fight!!"

"Woo-hoo!!"

Mu Susu waved her small fists, a morbid smile appearing on her pure little face!

Not far away, Lu Qingyun stared at her, thinking to himself that if he were to kill this creature... would it be like dropping a beast core, and would the Demon Seed inside her drop out?

For a moment, Mu Susu felt a chill wash over her.

She looked toward Lu Qingyun; the murderous intent directed at her was not concealed in the slightest.

After a moment of silence.

Mu Susu flashed a very sweet smile at Lu Qingyun, appearing innocent and harmless.

"Brother Lu—"

She drew out the tail of her voice, attempting to awaken the ally-like camaraderie in Lu Qingyun's heart.

However...

Right before her eyes.

Lu Qingyun's face changed, and even his stature began to grow!

In her astonished gaze, Lu Qingyun, like an inflated balloon, kept expanding.

In less than half a minute.

He had transformed into a burly man over two meters tall, with a sturdy build and a rugged face!

He clenched his fists, and his joints let out a crisp cracking sound.

"Brother Lu? Heh... Stranger woman. To save your life, you've actually started randomly claiming relationships, haven't you?"

"..." Mu Susu.

She stared at Lu Qingyun with wide eyes!

What kind of technique was this!?

A talent?

A skill?

Or... a Divine Ability!?

It wasn't an illusion, nor was it some kind of face-changing makeup.

This was a complete, thorough change at the level of flesh and blood!

It was exactly like becoming a different person, even his aura was completely different!

If Mu Susu hadn't watched Lu Qingyun make the change with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed that this burly man in front of her was Lu Qingyun!

"To think you stumbled upon my secret, damn it!"

"Since that's the case, I can't leave you alive even more!"

"..." Mu Susu.

And just as the two were making a scene, in the assessment area not far away.

The battle began!

Hum—!!

Qin Fenghuo actually took the initiative to ascend into the air and pressed a palm directly down toward a dense forest!

The large palm condensed by Divine Intent had monstrous power!

With one strike, the entire dense forest was instantly flattened!

All the members of the evil cult hiding inside were wiped out, with none spared!

It was too sudden.

Even the Heavenly Demon Sect elders lurking in other places didn't have time to make a move to stop it.

Except...

"You knew even this, and you told them all?"

Lu Qingyun looked at Mu Susu, who was pretending to be calm, but whose total health pool had suddenly increased a little bit on top of her head due to the sudden increase in cultivation.

This time, he was truly a bit envious.

To level up, he had to personally defeat or kill enemies.

But this Mu Susu seemed to be able to increase her cultivation just by relying on slaughter, or even by inciting slaughter.

This Slaughter Feast talent was just too bugged!?

"What's there not to tell? It's not like I'm the one dying."

"Besides, doing it this way directly eliminates a competitor for you! Isn't that good?"

Mu Susu had no sense of having joined the Heavenly Demon Sect.

She even said with some regret: "This person in charge of Jingdu Martial Arts University is still too cautious. I gave him three areas; he could have found more people to attack simultaneously. If that had happened, it would have been great to directly eliminate nearly half of your competitors for you."

"Unfortunately, your competitors are basically all still here. Furthermore, judging by what they have done over these past few days, the possibility of you becoming the Saint Child is very low."

"It's fine, just making sure they aren't around anymore will do." Lu Qingyun slowly ascended into the air, his tone nonchalant.

"All that messy stuff is useless; as long as the competitors are all dead, then naturally, won't I be the Saint Child?"
