The wind was too fast, and the energy contained in it exploded the air and broke the rocks, causing several pieces to fall to the ground. The sound of the rocks rolling on the ground was insignificant in the howling wind, but in the wind, the cold light was the sharpest. The cold light lifted the air and came suddenly, leaving Xia Xiao with no way to retreat.

Without moving his legs, Xia Xiao swung the magic sword in his hand. A black-purple light flashed suddenly, breaking a sword that was stabbing at him quickly with a stunning look.

The sword hidden in the wind was now exposed, but the three-foot-long green peak quickly spread its cracks to the sword body when it broke in the middle. Suddenly, the whole sword was shattered, as if it was painted with cracks.

A very light "hmm" was full of doubt. Xia Xiao didn't hear it, but he said sarcastically without disguising:

"Without the noble spirit and gentlemanly demeanor, the sword will abandon you."

“Wrong logic!”

The man was still hiding in the wind, but his palm was not spread out, so the sword did not break into pieces of iron, but maintained its original shape in the wind.

The man held it and attacked. Every time the reef broke, it was his robe that was turning. The man's robe was not as gentle and affectionate as the woman's long skirt, which attracted people's attention. But the vitality in it made Xia Xiaoru concentrate as if he saw a graceful woman, and he dared not be easily distracted.

Since the opponent's strength was not up to the standard, Xia Xiao's mouth curled up with some joy. With such strength, he still wanted to retaliate against the academy, which was really stupid. If the academy had been more careful, it would not have needed to send anyone, and a lightning strike as a divine punishment would have instantly destroyed him. He still dared to be so arrogant, he was really asking for trouble.

Sensing the strength of the vitality from the man's continuous attacks best reflects Xia Xiao's delicate mind. After he sensed and grasped the opponent's strength, the magic sword drew a huge arc in the air.

The seemingly ordinary attack caused the wind and clouds to change, and the sky and earth were filled with black and purple sword energy. Under the huge impact, a figure shot back and hit the reef, causing it to shatter. The iron sword fragments fell all at once, making a series of crisp sounds on the ground. This sound was a bit like a copper coin falling into a beggar's bowl, but the beggar was happy, and the man was not happy at all.

There was blood on the corner of the man's mouth, and there was surprise in his eyes. The strong wind continued to surge without the man's knowledge, trying to intercept Xia Xiao. Have all the students of this year's academy reached this point? The man made a "He" seal with both hands, and instantly summoned all the vitality in his body. The wind-like fortress wall was cut open by the black and purple sword energy, making a sharp hissing sound.

Walking forward, Xia Xiao's words and expression were cold, like an ice block hidden deep under the black ice, making people tremble.

"Aren't there many declining forces comparable to the academy who want to seek revenge? There are also many strong people who are resentful of the academy and think that not selecting them is the academy's loss and sin. How come, with so many talented people, you are the first to stand out? It's really ridiculous what people like you can do!"

Wind belongs to the wood element, which has the power of bending and straightness. This power can make the wind continuous, but the metal element can overcome wood. Extremely sharp, it can stop the flow of water with a knife, and the wind will also stop. Only the Buddha's heart can maintain a state forever. But even the Buddha may be tempted by a strand of black hair, let alone the wind.

The man's face showed a strong expression of disbelief. When he looked at the magic sword in Xia Xiao's hand, he was shocked by the light on it.

"The disciples of the academy are really amazing. They are so rampant relying on a spiritual weapon."

"I'll just rely on it, okay?"

"What are you without it?"

Xia Xiao did not thrust out his sword quickly, but moved forward slowly. Because he knew that the sharp edge of the divine sword could easily break through the man's defense, tear a crack in his armor made of vitality, and injure the flesh underneath. Xia Xiao's palm exerted normal force, and the tightly grasped knife pierced the man's chest, splashing a lot of blood. All around the ground, red flowers transformed from blood bloomed, clustered closely together.

“That’s ridiculous.”

Xia Xiao drew out the magic sword, and three minutes had passed. The sword returned to the contract space on its own. The sight of it tearing the space apart made the man sitting under the giant reef look cold. This powerful sword was Xia Xiao's contract beast. It turned out that the rumors that he possessed the complete five elements and had five contract beasts were all true...

The man had a big nose and a big mouth, and his face was full of the frustration of a loser. This made him lose his energy and spirit. At this time, he was injured and covered his chest, at a loss. He didn't expect Xia Xiao's strength to be so high. He underestimated the enemy. The panic in his eyes gradually turned into relief. The man gave up struggling and had no intention of sitting up. He just sighed and said:

"It's incredible that you were born with five contracted beasts and five elements of vitality. If I were the same as you, I would have achieved as much as you have now. You can only blame the injustice of heaven and hate the fate of this world. You should also be very lucky to have such power, right?"

The man looked up and saw Xia Xiao, who was neither arrogant nor happy, and did not even show the slightest emotion towards him. He just had a cold face, and when he looked at him, he looked at him with an unreasonable attitude, like a shrew.

This look made the man feel humiliated. Although he was no match for Xia Xiao, he would rather Xia Xiao looked at him with pity than with this kind of emotion. And no matter how his eyes wandered, Xia Xiao's eyes did not change.

"For a guy like you who worries about everything, even if you are given the best talent, what can you do?"

Xia Xiao showed disdain on his face. What he hated most was this kind of guy who didn't work hard enough and always blamed others. In Xia Xiao's opinion, even if this man came from afar like himself, he would not be able to reach the top for various reasons. Even if he reached the top, he would fall from the altar because of his own reasons and be despised by others. The man didn't take it seriously. With his belief in the tragedy, he snorted coldly:

"People of your level naturally cannot see the dark side and dirty corners of the world. Do you know how much effort someone like me has to put into cultivation? In order to sign the spiritual contract, I used up all my family property, but after entering the academy, I was kicked out because of an exam before I could enjoy the good times. Do you think the academy is not blind? Does it know how much effort I have put in?"

"What effort? You should be the one who was eliminated in the last class, right? It has been six years now, and you have only reached the noble level. What use does the academy have for someone like you? If you look for reasons from the outside, your mentality will easily go astray. If I were a teacher in the academy, I would not accept you even if your grades were qualified."

"My cultivation progress is slow because of my contracted beast!"

The man pounded his fists on the ground, and his flesh was torn apart. His already bloody palms were scratched by the rocks and the fragments of the iron sword. He stared at Xia Xiao, as if he couldn't bear to hear others say bad things about him, and shouted:

"My contracted beast is only level five, and its cultivation is slow. If I were given a level seven or eight contracted beast, I would have already reached the realm of the Venerable Realm, or even the realm of the Heavenly One!"

"Many of my classmates have contracted beasts of level five, and some even have level four. But their prospects are no worse than yours. And I looked at your age carefully. You should be a student of the 69th class, two years older than me."

"So what? Those with level 4 contracted beasts can't go far, definitely not. They should have been sent back home during this time, right? The academy is like this, it always rejects people with poor talents. A humble existence like me can only be spurned by the academy. It never knows how to identify hardworking people!"

"No! They went up the hillside."

Xia Xiao spoke calmly, as if explaining a fact that had already happened and could not be changed. But this fact made the man's face look crazy. He kept shaking his head and laughing like a possessed man. He kept saying "impossible" but looked at Xia Xiao, who was standing in front of him, looking at him with a very high attitude. The man's face suddenly showed some sudden enlightenment, but what he said made Xia Xiao quite disappointed.

"Impossible, unless they are lucky. If I had been blessed by the goddess of luck once, I would not have ended up like this. You know what it means when a person is envied by a genius? God is jealous of me! And those useless teachers didn't teach me anything really useful. They are not like the two people you mentioned. Their teacher must be different from mine!"

To blame the teacher is really... foolish.

Just from this point, this person has no right to say that he has been in the academy. Xia Xiao smiled bitterly and shook his head. He didn't want to talk nonsense with him anymore. This kind of person deserves to be a failure.

No matter what you do, you should have a firm heart. If everyone is just complaining and fantasizing like this guy, the academy will really be finished. Xia Xiao suddenly believed in the academy more. He believed in it to begin with. Now seeing this man, he felt that the decision made by the academy would definitely not be wrong.

"How many people are there in your alliance? How are you going to act? How are those forces going to hurt the academy?"

The man looked at Xia Xiao with an impatient expression, as if he didn't want to answer. These questions were all highly confidential, but Xia Xiao clenched his palm and stabbed the man's arm with a machete, causing him to scream like a pig being slaughtered. But in the pain, he still had what he thought was persistence.

"When I joined the alliance, I promised the leader that I would never..."

The man's arm broke as he thrust his finger against the back of the sword. It flew in a weak arc in the air before falling softly to the ground. The man's lips trembled, his face turned pale, and his eyes were filled with panic and helplessness. When did the people in the academy become so cruel? When he was in the academy, the academy was always dominated by kindness, but now...

The pain from his left arm made the man close his eyes suddenly, and a breath of cold air pierced through his internal organs like a sharp sword.

"Say it or not?"

Xia Xiao stared at the man, who was shaking violently. If he hadn't had the energy to support him, he would have died from excessive blood loss. But even if he had energy, he couldn't ignore the pain. In the midst of all the struggles, the man still chose to say a very simple word that could temporarily save his life.

In fact, Xia Xiao did not promise that even if the man told him about the alliance and other forces, he could still kill him. The man probably knew that if Xia Xiao could cut off his arm, he could hurt his life. The stern-looking young man in front of him was different from many students in the academy. If it weren't for his normal breath, the man would even suspect that he had entered the devil's way, that he was so thirsty for blood.

Under the threat of pain, the man's first reaction was to get rid of it, and there was no other way. Even if he died, he should leave quickly and painfully, rather than being tortured repeatedly by the machete. Xia Xiao pierced his chest, but did not hurt his heart. He cut off his right arm, but did not touch his throat. He inserted into his left arm, but did not hurt the bones. This method made the man look cold, what a ruthless character!

With cold sweat all over his face as if he had just washed it, the man spoke:
