7: Chapter 7 Vampires
Lin Muhan was disheveled and looked aggrieved, like a little girl who had been bullied into crying, a completely different person from before.
"Mother, I'm sorry," Lin Muhan murmured.
"Three years and another three years, today I really don't want to endure it anymore..."
The voice was faint, but it was caught by Chen Moxuan not far away.
Mother? Why was she crying for her parents?
Was this still the ruthless female Devil Head from before who was trying to kill him with every move?
While Chen Moxuan was confused, a sudden change occurred.
Thick blood energy swirled around Lin Muhan, and the wounds on her body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Her dislocated right arm snapped back into place by itself, emitting clicking sounds.
Lin Muhan's short hair fluttered upwards, and the tears swirling in her eyes drifted upward. The blood energy grew denser, completely wrapping around her figure.
Chen Moxuan's expression was grave; he felt a sense of heart-palpitating dread from Lin Muhan.
It was just like facing a non-human Transcendent back then.
Does this damn thing have a second phase?!
The next moment, a pillar of blood-colored light shot straight up, scattering the dust and mist that had not yet fully dissipated.
"What happened?"
The students in the audience were confused by the situation.
The competition ring had previously been shrouded in dust and smoke, so their perspective was unclear.
Now that the dust had cleared, they only saw Chen Moxuan propped up on the stage platform and a pillar of blood light; Lin Muhan's figure was nowhere to be seen.
"Could this pillar of light have been created by Lin Muhan?"
This blood pillar clearly did not originate from True Qi; it resembled the power of blood and Qi, yet it had a fundamental difference.
The Aura it emitted was hair-raising.
"Old Xu, what move is this?"
The lead teacher of Jiangshui Martial Arts School was full of confusion; even with his experience, he had never seen such abnormal energy fluctuations.
Teacher Xu was equally puzzled; he had no impression of this move at all.
"Could this be..." Old Liu no longer had his usual composure and said in great alarm, "Blood Curse Technique!"
"Blood Curse Technique?!"
The teachers exclaimed, as the Blood Curse Technique was not a technique of the Human Race at all; only the Blood Race could perform it.
And the Blood Race was among the top ten threats to the Human Race among all races; they were extremely bloodthirsty and particularly fond of devouring human blood.
Therefore, they were also commonly known as vampires.
How could a long-renowned martial arts Genius from a martial arts school be a vampire?
Moreover, the Blood Race should be afraid of sunlight, yet Lin Muhan's lifestyle had always been no different from an ordinary person's.
Teacher Xu subconsciously looked to his side, only to find that the figure who should have been standing there had already disappeared.
"Where is she?"
While everyone was suspicious and uncertain, a slender, jade-white palm reached out from the blood light pillar.
The pillar seemed to be attracted to it, instantly converging into the palm, turning into a blood-colored ball of light the size of an apple.
Without the obstruction of the blood light, Lin Muhan's figure was exposed, but it was completely different from before.
Her hair was long, silver, and bright as the moon; her pupils were blood-colored; her skin was whiter than snow; and her original blue-green uniform had turned into a black and red Gothic dress.
Compared to the previous coldness that kept people at a distance, the current Lin Muhan gave people a suffocating sense of beauty.
"Today, either you die or I perish!"
The Silver-haired Girl's exquisite face was filled with murderous intent. With a light push of her right hand, the ball of blood light turned into a sharp arrow and shot toward Chen Moxuan at an astonishing speed.
His Mental Energy was nearing its limit, his head felt like it was about to explode, and Chen Moxuan's Special Ability could no longer function.
The hair all over his body stood on end; his biological instinct told him that this arrow was enough to kill him.
"Move, quickly!"
Chen Moxuan roared in his heart, but his body was barely able to stand now, and he could no longer move an inch.
Suddenly, a figure descended from the sky, condensing a nearly tangible white light with one hand, and forcefully grabbed the blood arrow.
The whistling wind caused the man's empty left sleeve to flutter wildly.
"Get lost!"
The man shouted, outputting his True Qi with all his might. The light on his right hand flared, finally causing the blood arrow to deviate from its trajectory and be thrown to the side.
The marble floor of the stage, which was several meters thick, was pierced through like tofu by the blood arrow. Immediately after, the arrow burst, and the blood light exploded, leaving a deep hole with a diameter of three meters in the stage.
If this arrow had hit Chen Moxuan, he would have likely been reduced to a mist of blood!
"Teacher... Teacher Ma."
Looking at the one-armed man in front of him, even though Chen Moxuan had prepared himself psychologically, he could not help but be shocked.
In his memories, he already knew that his homeroom teacher was also surnamed Ma, also called Ma Jingyuan, and had a face that looked almost exactly like the Teacher Ma from his original world.
But his temperament and physique were completely different.
The Teacher Ma from his original world was bloated, looking like a middle-aged uncle who had gained weight, while the Teacher Ma in front of him was lean, with deep eyes, an imposing Aura, and only one right arm.
This was also one of the reasons why he believed that this Martial Arts World was a parallel world similar to his original Superpower World.
"Rest assured, I am here."
Ma Jingyuan nodded slightly, looking at the Silver-haired Girl with a grave expression.
He clenched his fist tightly, trying to alleviate the numbing sensation.
He had intended to crush the blood arrow directly, but the energy of the blood arrow exceeded his expectations; he could only deflect its trajectory with all his might.
Ma Jingyuan was already at the Peak of the Second Realm, and because of some reasons, his combat power could even briefly rival a Martial Artist who had just entered the Third Realm, the Tiangang Realm.
The power of the blood arrow undoubtedly reached the level of the Tiangang Realm.
One must know that this was the city center, located within the inner circle of the An Tian Grand Array, and the strength of alien races here was less than one-tenth of their usual power.
Even so, she could unleash a strike comparable to a Tiangang Realm Martial Artist; if there were no suppression from the Great Array, how terrifying would the strength of this Silver-haired Girl be?
"Silver hair and red pupils..."
As far as he knew, the hair color of ordinary Blood Race members was mostly black, and the more noble the Bloodline, the closer the hair color was to gold.
Nobles within the Blood Race all possessed golden hair and green pupils.
He had never heard of a Blood Race member with silver hair and red pupils.
Swish, swish.
With two sounds of breaking wind, the other two lead teachers also arrived on the stage.
"Is it really the Blood Race?"
Teacher Xu stared at the Silver-haired Girl in disbelief, still unable to believe that his proud student could be a latent member of the Blood Race.
"This energy fluctuation is blood energy; there is absolutely no mistake." The lead teacher of Jiangshui Martial Arts School said in a low voice, "And she is not an ordinary Blood Race member. I have dealt with the Blood Race over these years, and the quality of their blood energy is far inferior to hers."
Ma Jingyuan gathered his Qi to regulate his breathing and set up a combat stance again: "Be careful, her strength is at least the Tiangang Realm."
"Hiss—"
The two teachers gasped. Ma Jingyuan had just fought her, so his judgment would not be wrong.
"Damn it, that guy Old Li just left after losing the match." The lead teacher of Jiangshui Martial Arts School grumbled.
This match was the semi-finals, so naturally, four martial arts schools participated.
It was just that the teachers of the losing schools were not like the teachers of Jiangshui Martial Arts School, who had the leisure to stay and watch the excitement.
Their cultivation levels had not reached the Tiangang Realm, so even with the suppression of the Great Array, only Old Liu could be an opponent for the Silver-haired Girl on the scene.
But the strength of the Blood Race could not be fully measured by the cultivation system of the Human Race.
Their true prowess lay in their strange and difficult-to-defend Blood Curse Technique.
Thus, what they had to do was to maneuver around the Silver-haired Girl, attract her attention, and let Old Liu, who was lurking in the dark, land the winning blow.
The few teachers were all veterans who had retreated from the front lines, and their years of combat experience immediately led them to tacitly agree on a battle plan.
The three teachers quickly adjusted their positions, facing the Silver-haired Girl in a triangular formation.
The Silver-haired Girl, however, ignored them, her red eyes staring fixedly at Chen Moxuan, never moving away.
This damned human was undoubtedly the culprit who caused her to lose control and turned the situation into what it was now.
If she did not kill him, she could not vent the hatred in her heart!
"You insulted my purity and ruined my grand plan."
The Silver-haired Girl's already icy voice now carried a bone-chilling coldness, "Human, you will surely die today!"
