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

"Get up, stop pretending to be dead!"

Hua Zhanyue frowned slightly, his long sword pointing directly at the lingering plume of smoke, his voice icy.

"Also, don't hold back your strength, or you'll be dead in the next move."

He could sense that although Furukawa's aura had weakened, it had not disappeared.

Moreover, this guy actually dared to withstand a sword strike with twice the power of his own with his bare body!

In Hua Zhan Yue's heart, a sense of admiration for Gu Chuan arose.

But despite his admiration, he will not hold back in his next move and will go all out.

"Cough cough..."

Amidst the thick smoke, several violent coughs could be heard.

Furukawa's figure slowly rose from the smoke and dust.

His upper body clothing had long since been torn to shreds, revealing his strong and muscular physique.

On his chest, a shocking wound stretched across his left side, deep enough to expose the bone, with blood gushing out.

However, strangely enough, the muscles around the wound were constantly wriggling and healing themselves at a visible speed!

"Haha... That feels great! That's fucking awesome!!"

Furukawa threw his head back and laughed loudly. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, stared intently at Hua Zhan Yue, and asked loudly:

"Kid! State your name! I, Furukawa, acknowledge you!"

The young man wielding a sword in front of him was far superior to someone like Ye Linfeng; he was someone Ye Linfeng should remember!

"The Hua family, Hua Zhanyue."

The longsword in Hua Zhanyue's hand trembled slightly, emitting a crisp sword sound.

His sword aura also reached its peak, silently confronting Gu Chuan's violent blood-red aura in mid-air, sparks flying everywhere!

"Excellent! Well done, Hanazono!" Furukawa nodded repeatedly, his eyes full of admiration. "I hope that one day you will truly possess the strength of Hanazono!"

He laughed wildly a few times, then suddenly turned his head, looked at Shangguan Zheng on the viewing platform, and shouted loudly:

"General Shangguan! I'm about to unleash a powerful attack, and I might temporarily lose my senses! I hope you can intervene and save Hua Zhanyue!"

"Okay!" Shangguan Zheng crossed his arms and casually agreed.

He wanted to see what other tricks this little brat, Furukawa, was up to.

However, upon hearing this, Hua Zhanyue's expression instantly darkened:

"You should... take care of yourself!"

With the ancestor's five-fold boost, if he still loses, he might as well just find a block of tofu and smash his head against it!

"I hope you can stay this calm later."

A wicked smile curled at the corner of Furukawa's lips.

He stretched out his left hand and lightly sliced ​​the blade of the sword; blood gushed out instantly, staining the wooden sword red.

"Ea - Unsealed!"

"Demon God Body—Activate!"

boom--!!

A dark and violent aura suddenly erupted from Furukawa's body!

The aura transformed into a thick layer of blood, enveloping his entire body!

The wooden sword in his hand peeled away layer by layer, revealing its true form hidden inside.

It was a strange longsword composed of three layers of rotating cylindrical blades!

The sword was covered with dense, blood-red runes that seemed to writhe slowly like living things, emanating a terrifying aura that sent chills down one's spine!

At the same time, Furukawa's body also underwent an astonishing change!

He had swelled up a lot, and his muscles were bulging!

Her long, blood-red hair cascaded down to her waist like a waterfall, dancing wildly in the wind!

Strange, twisted, blood-red runes appeared on his bare skin, shimmering with an eerie light!

At this moment, Furukawa looks nothing like a human; he's practically a demon god who has emerged from the depths of hell!

His eyes turned completely blood red, and his reason was being rapidly eroded by madness!

"Holy crap! What the hell is this?!"

"Why does it feel...like a demon?!"

"What the hell is the Gu family raising?!"

The soldiers were shocked and retreated, putting distance between themselves and Furukawa.

Even Shangguan Zheng frowned, staring at Gu Chuan with a serious expression.

He sensed that Furukawa's aura had surged to an extremely dangerous level!

"Go to hell!!"

A hoarse voice came from Furukawa's throat, like the roar of a wild beast!

He swung the sword of discord in his hand with a sudden movement!

An invisible slash tore through the air and silently attacked Hua Zhanyue!

Hua Zhanyue's heart skipped a beat, and a strong sense of danger surged into her mind!

Almost instinctively, he darted to the right!

The next second—

"Boom—!!!"

The spot where he had just stood, along with the entire arena floor, was torn in two by an invisible force!

A bottomless crack stretched across the arena, sending rubble flying everywhere!

"Luckily I reacted quickly... otherwise, I would have been cleaved in two..."

Cold sweat trickled down Hua Zhanyue's forehead, a wave of fear washing over him.

"ah--!"

"Get out of the way!!"

Below the stage, several soldiers who reacted a little slower were hit by flying shards and cried out in pain. Fortunately, their comrades reacted quickly and pulled them away, avoiding further attacks.

"This guy... is outrageous!!"

Everyone stared in awe at the menacing crack on the dueling platform, and then at Gu Chuan, who exuded an aura of a demon god.

"You can't escape..."

Furukawa grinned, revealing his gleaming white teeth. His bloodthirsty smile looked particularly ferocious and terrifying.

"You're the one who should run away!"

Hua Zhan Yue's fighting spirit burned to its peak!

He held back no longer, and the power within him, amplified fivefold, erupted with a roar!

"Secret Technique—Mirror Flower, Water Moon!"

"Tick-tock—"

A crisp sound of water droplets rang out.

At the foot of the ancient river, a lake as calm as a mirror suddenly appeared, its surface reflecting a clear, cold moon.

His body was forcibly restrained by an invisible force, and his movements instantly became sluggish!

At the same time, eight figures identical to Hua Zhan Yue, wielding longswords that gleamed with cold light, launched simultaneous attacks from all directions!

The sword light clashed, tearing apart even space itself!

"This kid's martial arts skills are too strong; even strange phenomena are appearing..."

"That's right, looking at it this way, the Ye family's twins are simply not on the same level as them..."

The soldiers watching from below the stage gasped in surprise.

This mirage-like phenomenon is not only magnificent, but also contains a powerful binding force, far beyond what ordinary sword techniques can match.

The Ye brothers, Ye Linyuan and Ye Linfeng, stood in the crowd, their faces solemn and their fists clenched.

"Where on earth did Hua Zhan Yue, this swordsmanship genius, come from...?"

Ye Linyuan murmured softly, his eyes filled with apprehension.

The power displayed by the opponent's attack far exceeded the combined attack technique of the brothers.

Ye Linfeng gritted his teeth, his gaze fixed on the reflection of the bright moon, his heart filled with horror:

"If that attack had landed on me, I'd definitely be covered in bruises..."

"Just as I guessed..."

At the edge of the crowd, Xie Momo's ethereal face revealed a faint smile.

"Furukawa, it's up to you how you handle this..."
