I will eventually become a god through sheer hard work.

Upon seeing this, Xue Jing's eyes flickered.

"...The wind that was the beginning of all things?"

Although the color was different, Xue Jing, who had already seen it twice, quickly recognized what it was.

A pale yellow breeze blew over him, bringing a slight coolness.

Xue Jing frowned slightly, feeling a bit disgusted at the thought that the wind had been secretly brought in by Li Suisui by swallowing it.

So he released the blood and qi that he had been holding back inside his body, keeping the pale yellow wind out.

'Afraid of the primordial winds, is he isolating himself with blood...? Truly a recipient of the Crimson Lord's gift.'

After confirming her guess, Li Suisui looked at the intact, blood-stained longsword in Xue Jing's hand with some doubt.

"…Why is that?"

The overflowing blood energy can resist the primordial wind of all things. In essence, it is a method of sacrificing a pawn to save the king. By constantly throwing out a part of one's own body, one can protect most of one's body from contact with the wind. It is not because blood energy actually has the power to render the primordial wind of all things ineffective.

Such a blood weapon, formed from the transformation of abilities, should disintegrate upon contact with the primordial winds of all things, without the protection of overflowing blood energy.

Before he could think it through, Xue Jing waved his hand again, and the blood-red longsword transformed into a huge blood-red arm with sharp claws, which clenched into a fist and struck at Li Suisui.

The giant hand, like that of an ancient god, exerted an immense pressure, but Li Suisui merely snorted coldly.

"Stop looking down on others."

He threw a straight punch, which collided with the huge, bloody fist. The size difference was like a bee stinging a human hand.

"The Flow of All Things in the Universe - A Thousand Mysteries".

Their fists met, and they froze for a moment.

Then, starting from the point where it connected with Li Suisui's fist, waves spread out from the surface of the giant fist of blood. Soon, the entire fist crumbled and disintegrated, staining the ground a blood red.

Xue Jing raised an eyebrow.

The blood he controlled actually 'died' under Li Suisui's attack.

All the cells have lost their vitality and are now a lifeless mass, beyond any control.

"interesting."

Xue Jing smiled, leaned in, and quickly approached Li Suisui.

"Come on, take another punch from me, and if you win, I'll consider it a loss."

Li Suisui's lips twitched.

What the hell is this nonsense?

He didn't pay much attention. The two had been fighting for a while now, exchanging blows and countering each other's moves. They were now pretty much in the second round.

Having already grasped a general idea of ​​Xue Jing's strength, he didn't pay much attention to the next punch, thinking it was just one of the countless ordinary attacks he would face in the long and fierce battle to come.

But soon he realized something was wrong.

As Xue Jing flashed to the front, his aura of blood suddenly shot into the sky like a blood-red pillar of light, piercing through the leaden sky and creating a large hole in the metallic mist clouds above.

His aura surged, exuding an indomitable spirit of going forward without looking back.

In an instant, Li Suisui instinctively felt goosebumps all over her body, her scalp tingle, and her hair stand on end.

With the Senluo Wanxiang Flow fully activated, Li Suisui shouted and clasped her hands together to meet Xue Jing's fist.

Then--

"puff--!"

There was a muffled sound.

Time seemed to stand still for a few seconds, and all the onlookers felt as if the sky had suddenly darkened.

Then—"BOOM—!!!!"

A sound far louder than any of the previous two explosions suddenly erupted, as if a nuclear bomb had been detonated.

The metal surface cracked layer by layer, as if being scraped by countless invisible blades that could cut through iron like mud. The terrifying vacuum impact spread at an unimaginable speed, and all objects within a radius of 500 meters, whether metal plants, living things, or onlookers, were forcefully lifted from the ground and thrown further away.

Exclamations rose and fell. Directly in front of where Xue Jing threw his punch, behind Li Suisui, two straight lines spread out in a fan shape, stretching for over a kilometer. Everything within the huge area of ​​the fan shape was completely shattered, turning into a wide open space, as if the earth had been parted in the middle.

Several people were unable to escape in time, and the examiners who were watching within the area didn't even have time to utter a scream before turning into nothingness, leaving not even a bone behind.

……

Far from the battlefield, in some steel jungle.

The students from Xue Jing's class gathered together, and most of them looked somewhat disheveled due to the shockwaves from the battle between Xue Jing and Li Suisui.

"Hey, do you guys think Teacher Xue can win?"

One of the students spoke up with some concern.

"Although Teacher Xue is very strong, his opponent is that Li Suisui... Will he lose?"

He Han opened his supply pack, took out a compressed biscuit and started eating it. Hearing this, he pursed his lips and said:

"Teacher Xue may indeed lose, but it's unlikely that Teacher Xue will lose."

"He Han, what are you talking about?"

Why is your head so pointy?

Ye Jingqiu said with certainty, "Teacher Xue will not lose."

"Speaking of which, although I knew Teacher Xue was a monster, I never expected him to be able to fight Li Suisui to this extent..."

"When Teacher Xue said he was invincible before, I thought he was just joking, but I didn't expect him to be telling the truth..."

"What do we do next? Should we wait for Teacher Xue, or continue to Area B2? But that's where Teacher Xue and Li Suisui are fighting. It's too dangerous for us to go directly there. We have to take a long detour..."

Seeing the students talking all at once, Chen Xingyan said:

"Those super-strong individuals have virtually inexhaustible stamina; who knows how long they could fight? We..."

Before he could finish speaking, the ground suddenly began to shake violently, making it difficult for anyone to stand.

Soon, a continuous series of deafening roars came from the side, and an entire fan-shaped area surged forward relentlessly, destroying everything in its path.

"Wow!?"

"what's the situation?"

The students struggled against the strong, turbulent air currents, barely managing to open their eyes to see the shocking scene of the earth parted in the middle. It seemed somewhat familiar, so they immediately widened their eyes.

"Was that... Teacher Xue's serious punch?"

……

The dust has settled on the battlefield.

Metal fragments turned into iron mist, and the intense kinetic friction raised the temperature of the entire steel land, making the ground faintly red, and white mist rose everywhere.

All the onlookers rushed back to check the results.

So, they saw it.

At the starting point of the huge fan-shaped dividing area, the only one still standing was a majestic figure, like a god.

His upper body clothing had been completely destroyed by the strong reaction force, revealing an extremely well-defined and handsome physique. His crimson hair danced without wind, making him look like a demon god.

Before him, the battered and broken Li Suisui lay on the ravaged ground, her fate unknown.

At this moment, Li Suisui's arms had disappeared without a trace, two-thirds of her chest was gone, her heart had disappeared, her entire abdomen was almost just a layer of skin connecting her to her lower body, her neck was missing a piece, and the left half of her face was gone, revealing the cross-section of her mouth and nose.

It looked as if a huge bite had been taken out of it by a terrifying beast.

Without a doubt, the outcome is decided.

Everyone stared at the scene in stunned silence.

In silence, Xue Jing stepped forward and took a step.

Everyone snapped out of their daze and scattered like frightened birds.

"Go, let's go!"

"We absolutely must not get close to the area where Xue Jing is!"

"Damn it, why isn't there a rule that examiners can't fight each other? Letting this monster in is like letting a tiger into a flock of sheep; there's no way we can play this game!"

"Even Li Suisui is no match for him. No one can control him in this joint exam. If he wants to... we're all doomed!"

"I can only run as fast as I can, I absolutely can't let him catch me!"

Xue Jing paid no attention to the unusual activity around him, just as people don't pay attention to what ants are doing unless they are bored.

He walked up to the mutilated Li Suisui and checked on her condition.

"Still alive... People who have broken through limits have a different kind of vitality."

Xue Jing nodded.

He had previously faced Jiao Hongyuan, who was an incomplete Limit Breaker who had achieved this through special methods, but possessed a powerful vitality that allowed him to continue moving even after his head was cut off.

As a legitimate person who has broken through limits, Li Suisui is naturally much stronger than Jiao Hongyuan. Losing a few hearts and other internal organs and having half of her brain knocked out is not a fatal injury; she just fainted.

"Being hit by my serious punch in 'Crimson' state only knocked out, that's pretty good, you didn't disappoint me."

Xue Jing acknowledged the kid's abilities.

Even under normal circumstances, his punch still possesses terrifying destructive power approaching the level of breaking limits twice, and after being enhanced by Crimson, it becomes even more exaggerated.

Although the exact values ​​are unclear, the power is at least ten times that of normal. The fact that Li Suisui is still alive is already a testament to her extraordinary strength.

"Next..."

Xue Jing looked around, then with a thought, canceled the Crimson state. His blood energy gradually calmed down, and the remaining divine skills on the panel, which had been stained red, immediately returned to their pale gold color.

Then, with a flash, he arrived in front of the pale yellow aura that had been blown away and spread to a great distance. He summoned the Beast of No Return and collected all the pale yellow aura along the way, which took about ten minutes.

"Done, another primordial wind of all things."

Holding the pale yellow ball of energy in his hand, Xue Jing saw the 'Absorbing Divinity' notification pop up on the panel and nodded in satisfaction.

An unexpected bonus... If I were to offer this to Haru A-Meng, wouldn't it be too much to ask her to kiss me again?
