He was resurrected indefinitely and handed over to the state by the headmistress.

"Damn it! Furukawa, you bastard, you're way too arrogant! I'll teach you a lesson!"

Xuanyuan Tai's face flushed with anger. He rolled up his sleeves and was about to charge onto the dueling platform.

He had long disliked Furukawa's arrogant attitude.

A mere Karami, barely breaking through level 100, is already this arrogant, daring to challenge their leader?

That's suicidal! He could take them down by himself!

"Wait, let me do it!"

A slender hand reached out and blocked Xuanyuan Tai's path.

Hua Zhanyue's face was cold and stern, his eyes like swords. Without uttering a single word, he moved swiftly.

He transformed into a cold, clear sword light, instantly appearing on the dueling platform, facing off against Gu Chuan from afar.

"Whoosh—!"

His longsword was drawn, its gleam flashing in the sunlight, reflecting in his eyes burning with fighting spirit.

Furukawa glanced at Hua Zhan Yue indifferently, then his gaze fell on Cang Long, Miao Tiao Jun, and the others below the stage, his tone tinged with impatience:

"You can all come at me together. It's too much trouble and a waste of time to do it one by one."

"Tch! I'm afraid if we all ganged up on you, we'd beat you so badly your own parents wouldn't recognize you!"

Canglong crossed his arms and curled his lip in disdain.

"If you're so capable, beat that swordsman to a pulp before you start talking big!" Slim Jun chimed in sarcastically. "He's the weakest of us!"

The words "weakest" were like an invisible thorn, piercing precisely into Hua Zhan Yue's ear.

Hua Zhanyue's lips twitched slightly, and a vein throbbed on his forehead.

When did I become the weakest?

He glanced coldly at the slender, handsome man below the stage, cursing inwardly:

You fatso, you have the nerve to say I'm weak? Don't you know your own limitations?

"Oh well, whatever, let's just go with the gauntlet."

Seeing that Zanglong and Miaotiao Jun were completely unmoved, Furukawa shook his head and didn't press them any further.

Since they wouldn't listen to reason, he would use his strength to shut them all up.

His gaze shifted to Lu Chen, who had been quietly observing the battle, and he shouted loudly:

"Lu Chen! Ten minutes! I'll give you ten minutes to prepare! After I've dealt with your underlings, it'll be your turn!"

Full of confidence, with an arrogant tone.

Lu Chen frowned slightly, ignoring Gu Chuan's clamor, and secretly transmitted his voice to Hua Zhanyue:

"I'll give you a five-fold boost. Kill him within three minutes."

"Don't worry, I will bring him back to life."

As the words fell, an invisible realm of life quietly unfolded.

Pale green runes silently appeared above the heads of Hanazono, Furukawa, and everyone else present.

At the same time, the power that amplified combat strength fivefold surged into Hua Zhan Yue's body!

"Yes, sir!!!"

"Make your move. In one minute, I'll make sure you can't stand up." Furukawa held up one finger, exuding arrogance.

"You will pay the price for your arrogance."

Hua Zhan Yue's icy voice fell.

The next second, the longsword in his hand burst forth with dazzling sword light!

"When my flower blooms, all other flowers wither!"

A sword is swung out!

The massive sword energy, carrying an unstoppable and fierce momentum, swept towards Furukawa!

Wherever the sword energy passed, illusory flowers formed from the sword energy bloomed out of thin air, layer upon layer, paving a flower path leading to death!

"What?!"

Furukawa's pupils contracted sharply, and his face turned serious!

The power of this sword strike far exceeded his expectations!

"Holy crap! This little kid... is he that amazing?!"

"This sword energy... even I, a level 105 guy, feel a fatal danger!"

"This guy... could he be another freak from some powerful family?!"

The soldiers watching changed their expressions drastically, their eyes widening in disbelief!

Even the soldiers who honed their skills through sword intent were startled by this astonishing sword energy and opened their eyes.

All eyes turned to Hua Zhanyue on the dueling platform, their eyes filled with shock.

"Amitabha……"

Qin Yingjun clasped his hands together and softly chanted a Buddhist prayer.

His eyes shone with Buddhist light, and he saw a faint trace of "Dao" contained within the sword energy, which deeply shocked him.

"It seems... the outcome is already decided."

Xie Momo's lips curled slightly upwards, and between her slender fingers, a small flying sword danced like a swimming fish.

Her gaze toward Hua Zhanyue held a newfound interest.

"Come on! Let me see just how amazing you really are!!"

A fanatical light flashed in Furukawa's eyes, his fighting spirit surging!

"Blood Frenzy - Activate!!!"

He roared to the sky!

A dense, blood-red aura erupted from his body!

His hair stood on end and turned blood red at a visible speed.

Even the whites of his eyes were stained with blood, and his pupils flashed with a crazed light!

"Blood Blade!"

Furukawa waved his hand, and the seemingly ordinary wooden sword in his hand...

Instantly enveloped by a layer of solidified crimson energy, it exuded a chilling aura of slaughter!

He gripped the sword with both hands and brought it down fiercely from above!

A massive, scarlet sword aura, carrying a violent force capable of tearing everything apart,

It clashed fiercely with Hua Zhan Yue's sword energy, which was surrounded by a hundred flowers!

"boom--!!!"

The two sword energies collided, unleashing a deafening roar!

A violent energy shockwave swept outwards, accompanied by raging winds.

The wind made the soldiers watching's clothes flutter loudly, and they all retreated!

"Buzzing—!"

Within the Sword Tomb, countless abandoned broken swords began to tremble slightly!

"How terrifying... These young people are incredible!"

"Someone who's only a teenager has this kind of strength... better than all of us old guys!"

"The younger generation is truly formidable! They are indeed formidable!"

The soldiers watching were dumbfounded.

"However... why does that Furukawa kid's sword aura feel a bit strange? It's sinister, and carries a bloodthirsty aura?"

"Isn't the Gu family supposed to specialize in pure sword energy? How come they have this kind of dark aura?"

"I'm not sure...maybe it's a mutated profession?"

The soldiers whispered among themselves, a hint of doubt creeping into their eyes as they looked at Furukawa.

"Swordsman! Kill him now! If you lose, I'll look down on you for the rest of my life!!"

"Exactly! Don't embarrass us!!"

Below the stage, Canglong and Miaotiaojun waved their fists and shouted their support at the top of their lungs.

Perhaps their shouts had an effect.

Perhaps it was because Hua Zhan Yue's strength itself gave him the upper hand.

The Hundred Flowers Sword Qi and the Blood-Red Sword Qi were locked in a stalemate in the air for a moment.

"Snap!"

A crisp cracking sound rang out!

Furukawa's crimson, berserk blood sword aura actually began to crack!

Then, right before everyone's eyes, it shattered with a deafening crash!

Although the Hundred Flowers Sword Qi had been weakened by more than half, it still carried a sharp residual power and slashed fiercely towards Gu Chuan!

Strangely, Furukawa did not dodge this potentially fatal attack!

"Come on...come on! Let me taste this pain!"

A near-maniacal smile spread across his face, and he stuck out his tongue.

He licked his chapped lips, his eyes shining with excitement!

"Pfft—!"

The sword energy struck his chest squarely!

Furukawa was sent flying backwards like a kite with a broken string.

It crashed heavily onto the edge of the arena, raising a cloud of dust!

"You won?!"

"No way? That kid Furukawa... why isn't he dodging?!"

The soldiers were stunned, looking at each other in disbelief.

This is nothing like the battle maniac Furukawa they know!
