"impossible!"

"How could this be possible?!"

The person who was most shocked when seeing Lin Hao rushing towards the entrance of the battle stage was the bald old man.

The several students at Jianyun Academy were also stunned.

The scene of Lu Chengtian's body exploding in flames replayed in their minds, and it felt like a dream.

All of this seems like an illusion and is hard to accept!

In their opinion, in this 100-college competition, Lu Chengtian will definitely be among the top ten in the rankings.

But now, not only could he not reach the top 20, he also lost his life.

This situation completely overturned their previous ideas!

"Ying Yuanzi, this Lin Hao from your Tianyan Academy is so cruel!"

The bald old man's face was extremely gloomy at this moment.

He was shaking with grief and anger. He stared at Ying Yuanzi fiercely and said angrily, "Today, you must give me an explanation!"

Hearing this, Ying Yuanzi looked calm, stroked his beard and sighed: "As the saying goes, a battle stage is like a battlefield, and swords have no eyes. Lin Hao did use a bit too much force, I hope you can forgive me."

His tone sounded comforting, but the slightly flexed muscles at the corners of his mouth clearly showed that he was trying his best to suppress the excitement and ecstasy in his heart.

Well done!

These three words are the true voice of Ying Yuanzi’s inner emotions at this moment!

"Please forgive me? Do you think that's all you need to say to get my approval?!"

The bald old man was furious and roared angrily.

"Otherwise, what else do you want?"

Ying Yuanzi seemed elegant and gentle on the surface, but he was not a soft-hearted person. His voice suddenly became a little colder.

"If you really want to explain, how will you, Jianyun Academy, explain the three students killed by Lu Chengtian in the previous three rounds of fighting?"

Ying Yuanzi said this in a firm attitude, with burning eyes, staring at the bald old man without showing any sign of weakness.

And under the wrapping of spiritual energy, a sound wave was intentionally formed and spread out.

For a time, it attracted the attention of many surrounding academic forces.

Especially the people from the three forces, Yunwu Academy, Qingtian Academy, and Huangkai Academy, began to get restless.

Then, this group of people, led by their respective mentors and palace masters, gathered around with angry faces.

They are the academies represented by the three contestants who were previously slaughtered by Lu Chengtian.

Normally, although there is no grudge between them and Jianyun Academy, at this moment, they undoubtedly share the same hatred and the same enemy.

Seeing this, the bald old man's furious arrogance suddenly disappeared like an eggplant hit by frost.

"Do you think you still need me to give you an explanation now?"

Ying Yuanzi sneered and questioned.

"You're so cruel! I'd better not meet that brat Lin Hao, otherwise he will never let me go!"

The bald old man glared at Ying Yuanzi with resentment, and after saying some harsh words, he turned around angrily and wanted to leave.

"Wait a minute!"

Ying Yuanzi moved, like a wisp of green smoke, and suddenly appeared in front of the bald old man, blocking his way.

"Ying Yuanzi, what else do you want to do!"

The bald old man shouted angrily with veins throbbing on his face.

"I know you are feeling very emotional right now, but I still feel it is necessary to remind you."

Ying Yuanzi said calmly, "I'll admit defeat, leave the Fire Source Stone behind, and then leave."

Hearing this, the bald old man's head buzzed.

I just remembered the bet I made with Ying Yuanzi.

"Those chips can be considered as compensation."

The bald old man was obviously very reluctant to hand over the Fire Source Stone, and said gloomily: "I believe Brother Ying will not hurt the relationship for this thing."

Ying Yuanzi shook his head and said calmly: "Let's put it this way. Besides, we have a contract as evidence."

After saying that, he flipped his palm lightly and took out the rune jade slip.

Upon hearing this, the bald old man's expression became extremely ugly.

"Ying Yuanzi, don't go too far!"

The bald old man was so angry that his body was shaking and his face was full of anger.

"What do you mean by going too far? As the saying goes, if you lose, you have to admit your defeat!"

"That's right. If it's compensation, how are you, Jianyun Academy, going to compensate us?!"

"You're old now, save some face for yourself!"

Around them, the leaders of the three schools all huddled together and started to sneer.

"you……"

The bald old man glared at those who were looking for trouble, his pupils twitching terribly.

But in the end, feeling that he was in the wrong, he suppressed the anger in his chest and did not explode on the spot.

Otherwise, when these guys attack in groups, the situation will become increasingly unfavorable.

Seeing the bald old man from Jianyun Academy being humiliated, the people from the three major academies were undoubtedly secretly happy.

"We'll meet again someday, let's wait and see!"

The bald old man snorted coldly and swung out his hand violently.

A red light flashed across the sky, and in an instant, it brought with it a strong wave of air, whistling towards Ying Yuanzi.

whoosh!

Ying Yuanzi's palm was covered with a layer of powerful green spiritual power, and as the wind and waves surged, he easily grabbed it into his palm.

But the object in his palm was actually a dark stone that was completely red and surrounded by flames.

It is covered with ancient traces, like flame patterns, extremely mysterious, and faintly reveals the power of fire source of the laws of heaven and earth.

"It really is the Fire Source Stone."

Ying Yuanzi's eyes flickered, and then he laughed deeply, "Originally, I was still worrying about how to reward Lin Hao. This fire source stone is a good choice."

Hearing this, the eliminated students from Tianyan Academy nearby were slightly startled, and their faces were immediately filled with envy.

The value of the Fire Source Stone is inestimable. Even if the whole country were to unite as one, it might not be possible to find even a small piece.

However, Lin Hao has already received the reward in advance even though the competition has not yet ended.

This kind of treatment is truly enviable.

The students in the academy did not feel jealous at all. After all, Lin Hao's strength was there.

To receive this is the reward he totally deserves.

On the side, Zhao Linger had a slightly complicated expression.

She stared quietly at the fire source stone in Ying Yuanzi's hand, and felt mixed emotions when she thought of her current relationship with Lin Hao.

The good-for-nothing husband whom she once regarded as a stumbling block has now grown to the point where she cannot reach him.

Do you regret it?

Haha, of course I regret it.

More of a pity.

But now that things have come to this, what can we do in the end?
