Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 160 Good boy, sign it!

Just as Xiao Bai and Liu Qing were clashing, more than twenty people emerged from the forest at the mouth of the valley; they were Xun'er and Little Fairy Doctor.

Upon seeing the group of people in the valley whose every move was accompanied by intense energy fluctuations, the new students were all amazed.

"Xiao Bai, watch out!" Little Fairy Doctor's expression suddenly changed. A man with sword-like eyebrows was holding a huge axe weapon with fire-attribute fighting spirit burning fiercely on it. He suddenly slashed hard at Xiao Bai's back. She couldn't help but let out a worried cry.

Clenching her fists tightly, she stared intently at the scene in the valley, her beautiful eyes filled with worry as she watched the axe flash that was about to strike her. Just then, Xiao Bai seemed to hear her call and turned to look at her.

"Get out of the way, you idiot!" Little Fairy Doctor stomped her foot angrily when she saw that hateful guy not only not dodging but also staring at her without moving.

The powerful wind generated by the axe light ruffled the white hair on Xiao Bai's shoulders. Without dodging or avoiding, Xiao Bai slowly extended a palm, his five fingers spread, and took the fiery red axe light into his palm. He let the fiery red axe light that made others tremble collide with his palm, and to Lin Yan's shocked expression, he crushed it!

The room fell silent for a moment. After a moment of stunned silence, Lin Yan suppressed his shock and almost jumped up to curse.

"Damn it, his battle qi cultivation is strong enough, but his physical body is so monstrous, is he even human?"

A move that had been brewing for a while was easily crushed by this guy with a single, casual gesture, without even using any battle aura. Who could stand that!

Xiao Bai ignored Lin Yan, whose expression was somewhat uncertain, and looked at the two beautiful figures at the entrance of the valley. He blinked and a smile flashed in his eyes.

Little Fairy Doctor glared at him fiercely, her face slightly flushed. Even with her gentle nature, she couldn't help but grind her teeth, wishing she could bite this bastard to death. If you could solve it, solve it already! You made her worry for nothing and wasted her time!

Xun'er covered her mouth and giggled, secretly giving him a delicate thumbs-up to Xiao Bai!

The four members of the Black Fiend Team in the valley watched this scene, secretly covering their faces, speechless, while looking at their captain with a hint of sympathy.

I was really looking forward to his performance, but this is it? Look at the White Fiends team, at least they could hold their own for a couple of moves, but when it comes to the Black Fiends team, it becomes so strange, like someone casually swatting a mosquito while flirting with a girl.

"Tsk tsk. Young people really know how to have fun!" Elder Su stroked his beard, looking at the battle scene below, and sighed.

"What a powerful physique! This little guy is truly strong in every aspect—soul, body, and battle qi cultivation are all top-notch. His talent is truly enviable!" Elder Han shook his head. At such a young age, he already looks like this; who knows how high he will go in the future!

The aged figure also gazed thoughtfully at the black-robed figure below, secretly excited. Could this little fellow really be as the two elders had guessed?

"Swoosh! Bang!"

Another loud bang came from the mountain, and in an instant, the valley was filled with smoke and dust, and rocks flew everywhere. Then, a strange burning smell lingered around everyone's noses.

After the smoke and dust cleared, everyone saw a large, charred pit in the valley filled with rubble. It was about ten feet square, and a narrow crack ran through the entire pit, as if it were splitting it in two. At the end of the crack, a tall and burly figure stood with his dark face and a slightly pale complexion, holding a spear and panting heavily.

"If that's all you've got, then hand over your fire energy!" Xiao Bai stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping over Liu Qing and Lin Yan, and said softly.

Liu and Lin exchanged a glance, nodded slightly, and then...

"Mountain-Splitting Spear, Mountain-Shattering!"

"The Eight Forms of the Axe-Splitting Technique: Severing the River!"

Liu Qing leaped into the air, gripped his heavy spear tightly, and thrust it downwards with force. A violent energy fluctuation emanated from the spear tip, piercing the air with a faint whistling sound as it hurtled towards Xiao Bai.

Meanwhile, Lin Yan moved with an eerie agility, approaching Xiao Bai. The flames on his axe blade instantly surged, forming a massive fire blade that carried scorching air currents, distorting the air itself, before slashing down at him.

These two attacks, completely different from the previous ones and much more powerful, sent a strong wind through Xiao Bai's clothes, making them flutter loudly. He nodded to himself, thinking, "As expected of one of the top students at Canaan Academy, they really have something!"

With a thought, the crimson light surged even more violently, rising up from his body, making Xiao Bai seem to be on fire, with lightning flashing constantly on his body and hissing sounds of electricity emanating from him.

Watching the two attacks draw ever closer, Xiao Bai remained standing still. A ball of light, wreathed in flames and lightning, emerged from the sky and, under the control of his soul power, instantly rose into the air.

"Bing Fire. Yang Thunder!"

With a soft utterance that echoed through the valley, the crimson ball of light in the sky responded with a muffled thunderous sound, followed by two crimson bolts of lightning that shot out, each as thick as a bucket, striking down like thunderbolts from the heavens.

Liu Qing and Lin Yan's expressions changed drastically. They felt the lightning bolts striking them directly, and their spiritual senses kept sending them a dangerous feeling. If they didn't give up the attack and let the lightning strike them, they would definitely be seriously injured even if they didn't die.

A glint flashed in their eyes. They hadn't expected Xiao Bai to ignore their attacks and instead adopt this "you do your thing, I'll do mine" fighting style.

"Madman!" Lin Yan thought to himself with a vengeance. Everyone called him a madman, but now it seemed that this guy was the madman!

The two had no choice. Feeling the lightning about to hit them, they gritted their teeth and changed their attack direction, heading straight for the lightning. They didn't know what would happen to Xiao Bai if they continued to attack him, but they would definitely need to recover from their injuries for several months. Time in the inner courtyard was so precious, who could afford to waste several months?

"Bang!" "Bang!"

The violent collision of the spear and axe lights almost deafened everyone in the valley. They couldn't help but cover their ears and stare intently at the scene. Even though the two beams of light were dazzling, everyone was eager to know the outcome.

"What kind of lightning is this?" Above the valley, two elders exclaimed in surprise as they looked at the blazing ball of lightning emanating from the sky not far away.

"Thunder contains fire, and fire contains thunder; both thunder and fire are violent substances, and their attack power is indeed formidable!" The aged figure also stared at the ball of light that seemed to contain an aura of destruction, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. He thought to himself, "According to Hu Qian, he obtained the beast fire of the Crimson Fire Thunder Dragon. Could it be that this little fellow combined it with the thunder attribute battle qi within his body to create it?"

"That's not right! This flame... its power is already comparable to some strange flames!"

"It seems he has quite a few secrets! But that's fine too; maybe he really can help the academy resolve that hidden danger!"

In the valley, as the light gradually faded, two dark figures appeared before everyone's eyes. One was still standing upright, while the other was so dark that the Black Fiend Team members could hardly bear to look at him!

"Ouch! It hurts so much! I'm not fighting anymore, I give up!" Lin Yan fell to the ground, his axe lying aside, groaning in pain.

"Hoo!" Liu Qing exhaled a breath of smoky air, feeling a tingling pain coursing through his body. He glanced at Lin Yan on the ground, then looked at Xiao Bai, who still stood with his hands behind his back. A complex emotion flashed in his eyes, and he said in a hoarse voice, "I admit defeat!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Bai waved his hand towards the sky above, and the crimson ball of light in the air transformed into a stream of light and disappeared into his body.

The people in the valley finally came to their senses and looked at the calm and composed figure with awe in their eyes. Although the two figures in the valley were in a sorry state, they were also very prestigious figures in the inner courtyard. They were both among the top twenty on the Strong Ranking, and each of them was full of arrogance!

This freshman is now one against two, and he's managed to beat them so badly without even getting hurt. Judging from his nonchalant attitude, it seems like he could easily take down two more of them. I doubt even the top ten on the power ranking could do that!

"Our leader is awesome!" At this moment, a group of freshmen behind him cheered and looked at the figure in the valley with excitement in their eyes.

In this world, strength is truth. What is the meaning of cultivation? Isn't it to constantly become stronger? Xiao Bai's performance now further confirms this. Weren't those senior students arrogant in front of them before? Now, the strongest Black and White Fiends team still looks at their leader with awe!

The freshmen who were relieved to have run away first and not been used as bait exchanged glances, their lips slightly bitter. Weren't they supposed to be the big devil's bait? Why were they calling him "boss"?

Is it too late to call him "boss" now?

"Cousin! Are you alright?" Liu Fei walked to Liu Qing's side, looking at his figure covered in scorch marks from lightning, and asked worriedly. From childhood to adulthood, this cousin had always been her pride, and she had never seen him so disheveled.

Liu Qing, having recovered his composure, shook his head and beckoned to the White Fiend Team members, saying, "Take out your fire energy cards! I've let you down this time, don't worry! I'll make it up to you when we get back!"

"Boss, what are you saying! It's just a little fire energy; we can just go back and do more missions!"

"Not bad, it's just a matter of fighting a few more matches in the arena! It's no big deal!"

As they spoke, they all handed over their fire energy cards. Liu Qing looked at his brothers with his tiger-like eyes, nodded, and without saying much, took the fire energy card, walked up to Xiao Bai, gave him a deep look, and said:

"You're very strong. I'm not bragging, but even those in the top ten of the rankings wouldn't be as relaxed as you are when facing the two of us together. I'm really looking forward to your performance in the inner courtyard; those guys will be quite surprised!"

Xiao Bai smiled and nodded, took the fire energy card, and his smile widened when he saw the numbers on it.

Unexpectedly! Even if those fifty senior students managed to grab half of it, it wouldn't be as good as these five people.

One thousand two hundred and eighty points, of which nearly eight hundred were on Liu Qing's card. At this moment, the number on his card officially broke through the two thousand mark.

"Haha. I'm also looking forward to meeting them!" Xiao Bai's attitude instantly became enthusiastic. Sure enough, class wealth cannot be taken from the bottom. Even if you include yourself, the freshmen would only have 150 points after taking everything, which is not even a fraction of what these five people have. If you want to take something, take it from the top. You'll get rich in one go!

"Hehe!" Liu Qing found it a bit funny to see Xiao Bai's face change so quickly. However, although this guy was called a demon, he was actually a genuine and trustworthy person.

Xiao Bai turned his gaze to another person, but when Lin Yan saw Xiao Bai looking at him, his expression changed and he immediately started wailing again.

"Ouch! That hurts! That hurts!"

"!" Xiao Bai's face darkened. This guy actually dared to renege on his debt?

"Fire Energy Card!" Xiao Bai walked over, squatted down, and said through gritted teeth.

"What?! You've beaten me up like this, and you still want to take it from me?!" Lin Yan looked at Xiao Bai and shouted in disbelief.

"Heh." Xiao Bai hadn't expected this sharp-looking guy to renege on his debt. He looked up at the Black Fiend Team members, his eyes turning cold, and said, "And you? You want to renege on my debt too?"

"No...no!" The group shuddered at the sight of Xiao Bai's cold face, which seemed ready to fight at any moment. They hurriedly waved their hands, took out their fire energy cards, and handed them over with pained expressions.

"So poor!" Xiao Bai muttered somewhat dissatisfiedly after swiping the two hundred or so fire energy cards on the group's cards.

The four of them instantly understood how the older students felt: their fire was gone, and they were being looked down upon!

No wonder he's called a demon. Looking at the zero on the Fire Energy Card, he cried out in his heart: If you don't like it, then don't take it!

"Your turn!" Xiao Bai lowered his head, kicked Lin Yan with his foot, and said coldly.

"I'm poor! You're going to rob poor people of their money? Don't you have any compassion?" Lin Yan said, pursing his lips.

"Compassion? They all call me a demon. I'd be unworthy of that title if I didn't do something utterly depraved. What would I need that stuff for?" Xiao Bai said with a smile. "It's fine if you don't give it to me! You know the Death Tree in Peace Town, right? I'm planning to get one in the inner courtyard too!"

"You...you're not going to hang me up there, are you?" Lin Yan suddenly felt a little panicked, swallowed hard, and wondered if this guy was really that bold.

"You got it right! But don't worry, the Death Tree hangs on the dead, but mine hangs on the living! Let me think, how about I plant one in front of the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower and hang you up there for passersby to admire?" Xiao Bai said with a kind smile.

Everyone around felt a chill run down their spines. This guy truly lived up to his reputation as a demon; he was truly wicked! If they were really treated like that, they wouldn't be able to stay in the inner courtyard anymore!

"You devil! You're ruthless!" Lin Yan's face turned pale as he recalled the scene. He hurriedly took out the Fire Energy Card and threw it to Xiao Bai.

"Haha." Xiao Bai took the fire energy card, but his laughter stopped abruptly after only two seconds, and he stared blankly at the crystal card in his hand.

"This is your Fire Energy Card?" Xiao Bai was incredulous. If it weren't that everyone only had one, he would have suspected that this guy was playing a trick on him!

"Yeah, I told you! I'm poor!" Lin Yan said with a matter-of-fact expression and a mocking look in his eyes.

"Then why were you making excuses and refusing to take it out just now?" Xiao Bai instantly felt the urge to kill him. He had thought that this guy had a lot of fire energy and could cause a big incident because of his various excuses.

Unexpectedly, this is it! 12 o'clock fire energy! This is even worse than the previous students. Looking at the pitiful number, if it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, Xiao Bai would have considered switching to another account.

"There's nothing I can do! I'm all alone, I'll use what I can find, that's all I have, you figure it out!" Lin Yan said with a nonchalant expression.

Xiao Bai sized up the shameless fellow, his eyes shifting between light and shadow. This was the number two in the Fire Energy Hunting Competition, and he was truly unwilling to have only managed to grab twelve points of fire energy. After a while, he took out paper and pen from his storage ring, scribbled something on it in a flamboyant manner, and then handed it to Lin Yan, grinning sinisterly:

"Come on, sign it!"
