Chapter 903: The Seven Storeys Pagoda
Feeling the surprised and sarcastic glances around him, he suddenly became angry. He jumped up from the ground and pounced on Qin Haodong again. He used all his strength this time.
“Pa…”
Even though he didn’t hold back in the slightest, the outcome was still the same. He was slapped and flew away instantly.
“I…”
Xiao Yulong’s face was full of shock and anger. Although Qin Haodong’s performance had always been excellent, he had never taken Qin Haodong seriously.
As the third master in the academy, he had his own pride. He thought that as long as he took action, it would be as easy as eating and drinking to deal with Qin Haodong.
But the situation in front of him completely overturned his cognition. In front of Qin Haodong, he was like a child with no ability to resist.
“No, there are so many people watching. Also, I can’t fall in front of Murong Jinghong!”
Gritting his teeth, Xiao Yulong rushed toward Qin Haodong again.
This time, he was not slapped away but kicked to the ground. Qin Haodong lifted his leg, stepped on his back, locked his several acupoints, then said to the Little Witch, “Hurry up and take the money out!”
“Well, little brother, I’m good at this kind of thing!”
The Little Witch enjoyed this kind of robbery very much. She ran over happily, grabbed Xiao Yulong’s Storage Ring, and excitedly counted the Spirit Stones in it.
The people present were completely dumbfounded. Their mouths were wide open but no sound came out.
Was this still a confrontation between masters? This was simply a one-sided beating!
Who was Xiao Yulong? He was ranked third in the academy, the idol of millions of girls. How could he lose to a freshman, without any dignity or suspense?
Ever since the opening of the Tortoise Academy, such a thing had never happened before. This young man was really remarkable.
Qin Haodong was not surprised by the result. His team was the first to arrive at the exit.
But when he saw Murong Jinghong and the other two blocking the way, he immediately changed his mind. He found an extremely hidden cave nearby and began to cultivate so he could break through.
Originally, he had accumulated 80,000 top-level Spirit Stones. In addition to the 20,000 from the academy’s reward, he robbed more than 30,000 top-level Spirit Stones in the hunting competition. Thus, there was a total of 130,000 top-level Spirit Stones.
Just in case, he took out all the Spirit Stones and began to break through to the late stage of the Voiding Realm.
The result was both within his expectation and also unexpected. He had indeed improved to the late stage of the Voiding Realm. However, the consumption was beyond his imagination. The 130,000 top-level Spirit Stones had all been used up.
This result made Qin Haodong a little speechless. After all, the 20,000 top-level Spirit Stones awarded by the academy and the 30,000 Spirit Stones he robbed later should be shared with Zhao Xingyue and the Little Witch. But now they were used up by him at one go.
In order to express his apologies, he could only snatch Murong Jinghong’s and Xiao Yulong’s Spirit Stones in order to make it up to them.
Furthermore, the large amount of Spirit Stones being consumed gave him a headache. He had only reached the late stage of the Voiding Realm after using 130,000 top-level Spirit Stones. How many Spirit Stones would he need to reach the final stage of the Voiding Realm? One million, 1.3 million, or 2 million?
However, there was not much time left for him. It was not the time to think about the follow-up now. The top priority was to complete the hunting competition, so he took the two girls with him to the exit.
In order to end the battle as soon as possible, he took another Little Energy Explosion Pill and directly raised his cultivation to the final stage of the Voiding Realm.
With his cultivation and the strength of Green Wood Eternal Body, he was invincible among the cultivators who were at the same level as him. Now his cultivation was one level higher than that of Xiao Yulong. Thus, it was as easy as beating a child when he fought with Xiao Yulong. The result came as no surprise.
The effect of the Little Energy Explosion Pill could only last for ten minutes, so Qin Haodong had no time to waste. After beating up Xiao Yulong, he immediately turned to look at Murong Jinghong.
“Jinghong Fairy, make your move!”
After seeing Qin Haodong’s skills, Murong Jinghong looked unprecedentedly serious.
As the number one master in the entire academy, it would not be an exaggeration to say that she had experienced hundreds of battles. However, she had never seen such terrifying skills from any of the students so far. It was likely that only the teachers in the academy could achieve this.
She slowly pulled out Jinghong Sword from her back and said in a cold voice, “Junior Brother, this sword is called Jinghong. Be careful.”
Qin Haodong put his hands behind his back and said indifferently, “Make your move!”
Murong Jinghong did not waste any more time. With a shake of her wrist, the Jinghong Sword in her hand suddenly turned into overwhelming sword shadows and instantly engulfed Qin Haodong’s figure.
“Jinghong Fairy’s Jinghong Sword is really powerful. Qin Haodong will lose…”
“Jinghong Fairy is Jinghong Fairy. She is much better than Xiao Yulong…”
“I haven’t seen Jinghong Fairy go all out for a long time. Even if Qin Haodong is defeated, he should still feel honored…”
Amidst numerous discussions, the sky full of sword light receded as a figure suddenly flew out.
When the crowd saw who it was, their faces turned pale with fright. The person who flew out was Murong Jinghong. There was a huge footprint on her buttocks.
“Qin Haodong, you bastard!”
Murong Jinghong turned around, her eyes full of anger.
Losing was losing. She could accept such an outcome and only blamed herself for being inferior.
But who would have thought that the amazing Jinghong Fairy would be kicked in the butt in public? How could she stand it?
Qin Haodong stood there awkwardly with the Jinghong Sword in his hand.
Murong Jinghong was indeed powerful. She had just exerted a lot of pressure on him. He wanted to win but he could not hurt her. This was already extremely difficult for him to control.
In his hurry, he forgot that the other party was a woman. After grabbing the Jinghong Sword, he kicked her buttocks. Only then did he realize that this was really inappropriate.
“That’s too much. This guy kicked my goddess’ bottom. I’m going to fight him to the death…”
“Keep your life for yourself. Didn’t you see that Jinghong Fairy was defeated? With your low cultivation, how can you compete with him?”
“This guy actually defeated Jinghong Fairy. Doesn’t that mean that he is now the top master in our academy?”
Qin Haodong looked at the angry Murong Jinghong and said awkwardly, “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to kick you there…”
“You’re still saying…”
At this moment, Murong Jinghong’s face was so red that it seemed to be bleeding. Since childhood, her buttocks had never been touched by anyone.
“Okay, I won’t say…”
Qin Haodong asked, “Jinghong Fairy, will we continue to fight?”
The efficacy of his Little Energy Explosion Pill only could last ten minutes. They had fought for more than a dozen rounds before he managed to grab Jinghong Sword. More than half of the time had passed. He had to hurry.
Murong Jinghong gritted her teeth. “No. I admit defeat. Give me back my sword!”
Although she was extremely unwilling to admit defeat, her Jinghong Sword had been taken away by her opponent. How could she fight? It was not her style to be clingy.
She also saw that she was indeed no match for him. What’s more, this guy didn’t have any sense of propriety. Maybe he would use some dirty tricks. She couldn’t afford to lose face.
Seeing Murong Jinghong admitting defeat, Qin Haodong was delighted and quickly returned the Jinghong Sword.
This team had three people in total. One had admitted defeat while one had been beaten until he was sprawled on the ground, incapable of getting up. Only the last member remained.
But that man knew his own limitations. When Qin Haodong looked at him, he immediately took off his Storage Ring and said, “I also admit defeat!”
What a joke! Xiao Yulong, who was ranked third, was beaten like a dog. Jinghong Fairy, who was ranked first, was also kicked in the ass. With his low cultivation, what was there to fight?
In this way, Qin Haodong won and took half of the Spirit Stones from the Storage Rings of Murong Jinghong, Xiao Yulong and their companion.
After returning to the finish line, the hunting competition officially ended. They became the final champions.
“Oh… We are the champions…”
The Little Witch was extremely excited. She hugged Qin Haodong and kissed him on the cheek several times.
At this time, the Little Energy Explosion Pill had lost its efficacy. He suddenly felt a huge sense of weakness and almost fell to the ground.
Zhao Xingyue’s face was also full of smiles. Although she did not dare to kiss Qin Haodong, she also held his arm tightly with a smile on her face.
She should be the luckiest one in this hunting competition. She had won the championship without having to lift a finger.
It was for no other reason. That was only because she had been following Qin Haodong.
The onlookers were stunned. Before this, everyone thought that the championship belonged to Murong Jinghong.
No one had expected that a freshman would turn the tables on them and defeat almost all the masters in the academy. Even Jinghong Fairy was no match for him.
“How is this possible? A new student actually won the hunting competition. Is this a dream?”
“My goddess lost. Oh, My God! I don’t want to live anymore…”
“This brat won the hunting competition. Doesn’t that mean that he’ll become the number one master in our academy in the future…”
The spectators were in complete chaos. The ones most unable to accept this result were Xue Pan and He Kaishan.
Originally, they were extremely dissatisfied with Qin Haodong. They thought that if they hadn’t been poisoned, they would have been able to defeat this guy.
But the final result surprised them. Both Xiao Yulong and Murong Jinghong were defeated. That was to say, Qin Haodong’s strength was strong enough to crush them. He had been pretending to be weak all the time.
The worst part of it all was that they had the least number of Spirit Stones. Their team was the tailender of this competition.
Normally, with their strength, they should not have been reduced to this state. Because they were greedy and made an enemy of Qin Haodong, they ended up in such a miserable state.
According to the arrangement of the academy, everyone returned to the playground an hour later. Luo Dongqing stepped onto the podium again.
“Everyone, the hunting competition of the Tortoise Academy has ended. The new students sprang a surprise on us and actually won first place in the competition. Especially Qin Haodong, he is excellent and will be our academy’s biggest hope in the future…”
After announcing the results and making grandiose remarks, Luo Dongqing changed the topic and continued, “I have two pieces of news for everyone, one good news and one bad news.
“The good news is about the Seven Storeys Pagoda in the Tortoise Kingdom. According to calculations, it will open in three days. The academy is preparing to organize the participants of the hunting competition to experience this. The goal is the Seven Storeys Pagoda.
“If anyone is lucky enough to get the opportunity from the Seven Storeys Pagoda, his cultivation will be greatly improved.”
Hearing this, all the students cheered. It seemed that except for Qin Haodong, everyone knew what the Seven Storeys Pagoda was.
He pulled the Little Witch beside him and asked, “Do you know what the Seven Storeys Pagoda is?”
“Of course! Don’t you know?”
After saying that, the Little Witch remembered that Qin Haodong had grown up in the mountains. She explained, “The Seven Storeys Pagoda is one of the most famous experiencing places in the Tortoise Kingdom.
“There are countless opportunities and magic treasures inside. If you enter, you will get great benefits. It is said that the Jinghong Sword in Murong Jinghong’s hand is the treasure that her ancestor got from the fifth floor of the Seven Storeys Pagoda.”
