Battle Through the Heavens: The Soul Emperor's Only Daughter, I Am the Young Master of the Soul

Chapter 84 Entering the final hurdle of the inner courtyard

"A dagger that has given birth to consciousness!" Yao Chen exclaimed in surprise.

Even with his vast knowledge, he had never heard of any weapon ever having developed sentience.

From ancient times to the present, there have been spirits of strange fires and even people transformed from ninth-grade elixir pills, but there has never been a precedent of a weapon becoming a living being.

Just how extraordinary was the first ancestor of the Soul Clan that he was able to imbue his weapon with sentience!

"It's a pity that such a divine weapon has suffered severe damage to both its blade and its spiritual essence, and has fallen into a deep slumber." Hun Qinghao's voice was very heavy.

If it weren't for what she saw today, she wouldn't have remembered that there was such a thing as the extraterrestrial evil race.

She knew that the ancient Dou Di had broken through the void and gone to the Great Thousand World, and the calamity that the Great Thousand World suffered was the invasion of the extraterrestrial evil race.

Tianyuan was damaged and stranded on the Dou Qi Continent. The situation of his ancestors must not be optimistic; they may very well have already...

After a moment of contemplation, Yao Chen said, "Perhaps there is still a possibility of recovery."

Hun Qinghao nodded solemnly and said, "I will restore it!"

The spirit of the Heavenly Abyss's wish was to return to the Great Thousand World to find its former master. She agreed, because she would eventually become a Dou Di and go to the Great Thousand World.

Besides, its former owner was also an ancestor of the Soul Clan. Regardless of whether he had perished or not, she had to go and see him.

……

Two days later, the first fifty students, including Hun Qinghao, went to the inner courtyard.

Before entering the inner courtyard, there is a test called the "Fire Energy Hunting Competition". Only by defeating the senior students or avoiding them and successfully reaching the end of the forest can one truly enter the inner courtyard. The senior students will also use every means to obtain the fire energy from the new students.

Hun Qinghao held the chip tightly, paying no attention to the senior students the elder mentioned, and had no interest in teaming up with other students. After the elder announced the start, he flashed and entered the forest first.

The elder shook his head and smiled, feeling sympathy for the senior students. He wondered what the Grand Elder was thinking, making this young prodigy participate in the Fire Energy Hunting Competition just like the other freshmen. This was a crushing defeat for the senior students, and he hoped they wouldn't be discouraged.

In the quiet, dense forest, dappled with light and shadow, a red figure suddenly descended—it was Hun Qinghao, the first to enter the forest.

"Oh, she's a pretty little girl who loves flowers."

A mocking voice suddenly rang out in the woods. Hun Qinghao looked up and saw five young men appearing in the distance, walking slowly toward him with teasing expressions.

Hun Qing remained unfazed, tilting his head slightly as he asked, "You want to steal my fire energy?"

"Little sister, since you know our purpose, then obediently hand over the fire energy to avoid suffering physical pain," the young man in the lead among the five youths said in a flippant tone.

Hearing this, Hun Qinghao found it amusing. She had never deliberately concealed her cultivation level, yet these people hadn't sensed it.

When encountering an opponent whose level of skill is unfathomable, wouldn't we subconsciously assume that the opponent is stronger than ourselves and then become more vigilant?

Do these five people think she's too young and it's impossible for her to surpass them in terms of cultivation level?

Thinking of this, Hun Qinghao said with extreme disdain, "Just a few of you Great Dou Masters?"

The five senior students looked stunned. They clearly hadn't expected that a freshman who looked so young would look down on them.

One of the fighters' expressions darkened, and he sneered, "Since little sister won't listen to reason, then don't blame us seniors for not showing her any mercy. Get her!"

Seeing the five senior students rapidly approaching her, a cold light flashed in Hun Qinghao's eyes. She clenched her right fist, and a faint fighting spirit gathered on her fist.

"A mere Grand Battle Master doesn't even deserve my attention!"

The fiery red figure flashed among the five senior students, and in the blink of an eye, all of these senior students, who were only one-star Great Dou Masters, were knocked to the ground without even having a chance to make a move.

The group looked terrified.

"How...how can you be so strong?"

Hun Qing was too lazy to answer. He looked down at them, stretched out his hand, gathered battle qi in his palm, took the crystal chips on their bodies into his hand, and then transferred all the fire energy that he could remove.

Seeing their hard-earned fire energy snatched away by a freshman, the group was incredibly frustrated.

I came here hoping to earn some fire energy, but I never expected to have such a bad start, running into a brick wall right away!

"No one has ever dared to steal my things before. You should be glad that this is a competition at Canaan Academy."

After returning the chip to the senior students, Hun Qinghao looked at them with extreme indifference and spoke before turning and leaving.

"What's going on? What does she mean by this?" an older student asked, bewildered.

A flawless version after careful inspection!

His companion rolled his eyes at him. "What else could it mean? It means that if this weren't Canaan Academy, and if we weren't in a competition, we'd be in even worse shape!"

"A red dress, her hair adorned with flowers..." The captain felt that Hun Qing looked somewhat familiar. After racking his brains, he finally remembered her identity and exclaimed, "She's that little witch from the outer courtyard, the girl who single-handedly fought against all the legendary figures of the outer courtyard!"

Upon hearing this, the other four quickly realized that the red-clad girl they had just encountered resembled the little witch from the outer courtyard in both appearance and strength.

"We knew she was going to the inner courtyard, but we were the first ones to run into her. We're just unlucky!"

"We can't be the only ones who're unlucky. I sincerely hope that other teams will run into this little witch too."

"However, Liu Qing, who is ranked fourth on the Heavenly Ranking, has also come to this year's Fire Energy Hunting Competition. With his strength, if he were to face off against that little witch, I wonder who would win?"

"That should be Liu Qing. No matter how strong the Little Witch is, her age is a factor. How could she possibly be a match for a student on the Heavenly Ranking? But then again, people on the Heavenly Ranking shouldn't lack fire energy, so why are they participating in the Fire Energy Hunting Competition?"

"You forgot, that guy suddenly rose to prominence a while ago and became number one on the Heavenly Ranking. Liu Fei offended him, and Liu Qing made a bet with that person for his sister's sake, losing all his fire energy..."

Behind a large tree not far away, Hun Qinghao, who hadn't gone far, overheard their conversation and a look of doubt flashed in her eyes.

Liu Qing, who was originally third on the Heavenly Ranking, has become fourth...

Who on earth is capable of surpassing Zi Yan and firmly holding the top spot on the Heavenly Ranking?

She had been relatively unknown for a long time, but suddenly rose to prominence at a certain point in time. The more she looked at this experience, the more it seemed like the protagonist's template.

But isn't Xiao Yan the main character? Does the appearance of a second main character mean that Xiao Yan has become involved with the Soul Clan?

With many doubts in her mind, Hun Qing couldn't quite figure out what was going on, but she was about to enter the inner courtyard, which would be a good opportunity to see for herself who this newly promoted number one on the Heavenly Ranking really was.

Next, with a clear goal in mind, Hun Qing headed straight for the end of the forest. Whenever she encountered any old students robbing fire energy along the way, she would not let them go, and would plunder their fire energy before continuing on her way.

Soon, her reputation spread among the senior students, and those who were not strong enough dared not try to steal her fire energy anymore.
