Chapter 40: Xu Ling Is in Danger

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Roar!

After the Tusk Boar was killed by Zhou Hao, another one was released from the iron cage. Its scarlet eyes made one’s heart shudder.

Zhou Hao’s expression seemed anxious but he was actually very calm on the inside. He was thinking about how to kill this second beast. Clearly, he could not pretend to get lucky twice.

Otherwise, it would easily arouse suspicion.

“Looks like I have to fight him head-on and show off my combat talent.” After making up his mind, he swayed his body and prepared for battle.

However, at this moment, the Tusk Boar that was fighting with Xu Ling on the left suddenly erupted with a fierce aura.

As if it had transformed, the body of this Tusk Boar suddenly expanded by several meters in a few seconds.

“Not good! This Tusk Boar has broken through!”

Everyone on the high platform and the spectator stands instantly stood up.

Xu Ling’s expression changed slightly, but she did not panic. Even if the Tusk Boar broke through, it would still not reach the level of a low-level beast warrior. On the other hand, Xu Ling was already almost at the peak of the third level of blood essence, which was more than enough for her to handle her opponent.

Putting away the saber in her hand, she quickly retreated to pull away from the Tusk Boar.

However, the transformation of the Tusk Boar was still ongoing!!

Boom!

The Tusk Boar’s body expanded again. Its two tusks multiplied into four, stabbing out of its mouth like sharp knives.

Its scarlet eyes were blood-red, and the skin on its body shrank as its hair grew crazily.

A horn even protruded from its forehead.

An intermediate-level beast warrior!

It had transformed into an intermediate-level beast warrior, the Single-Horned Tusk Boar!!

Its strength had now completely exceeded the limit that Xu Ling could handle!

Most of the students in the audience screamed, and some girls even covered their eyes.

“Daughter!” Xu Zhenhua shouted anxiously from the platform, wanting to rush down the stage to save his daughter.

However, at this moment, a figure blocked Xu Zhenhua.

It was Shen Jing!

Xu Zhenhua’s eyes were red. “Instructor Shen, that’s my daughter!”

Shen Jing said indifferently, “What? Don’t you think I’m able to handle a mere intermediate-level beast warrior?”

Xu Zhenhua finally reacted. The instructor in front of him was a high-level master.

“Instructor, could it be…” He regained his calm.

“That’s right. I arranged it.” Shen Jing looked at the other leaders. “Why are you panicking? Keep watching. Strength can only erupt in a life and death crisis.”

Only then did the leaders and the other parents heave a sigh of relief.

So it was all arranged by Instructor Shen.

“Yes, yes, Instructor Shen is right. Only by facing a huge pressure crisis can you break through and become stronger!”

“Director Xu, it seems like Instructor Shen values your daughter very much!”

Xu Zhenhua said awkwardly, “Instructor, just now…”

Shen Jing waved his hand. “I understand.”

As the few of them were talking, on the training ground, Xu Ling’s face turned pale. Facing the Single-Horned Tusk Boar that had transformed into an intermediate-level beast warrior, she could only hurriedly rely on her armor to defend and dodge.

On the other hand, Zhou Hao couldn’t help but frown when he saw this.

The other Tusk Boars were fine, but the one Xu Ling was facing had transformed. Moreover, it had transformed from a low-level mutated beast to an intermediate-level beast warrior.

He was certain that someone had planned this.

“Trying to force me to reveal my strength again!” Zhou Hao smiled bitterly. He quickly realized what was going on.

The school leaders must have wanted to confirm who the peerless genius was, but how could they use such ruthless methods…

Roar!.

Zhou Hao kept thinking about the situation as he effortlessly handled the crazy attack of the Tusk Boar, all while keeping an eye on Xu Ling’s situation.

In just five or six seconds, Xu Ling had already fallen into danger. She was sent flying several times by the Single-Horned Tusk Boar, and her standard armor even cracked.

The surrounding martial artists couldn’t help but ask through their earpieces if they should take action.

However, Shen Jing still told them to wait.

Boom!

Another violent collision.

Xu Ling was sent flying again and slammed into the railing, blood flowing from the corner of her mouth.

Xu Zhenhua, who was watching from the platform, felt his heart ache, but he forcefully endured the urge and could only silently shout in his heart, “Come on, daughter!”

Zhou Hao dodged the charging Tusk Boar and looked at Xu Ling, secretly shaking his head.

Xu Ling wasn’t the kind of person who could suddenly become stronger in a crisis. If she was, she would have broken through long ago when she was in the Southern Station’s wilderness area and faced so many giant wolves.

He knew this very well.

“Looks like I’m going to have to take action!”

After thinking for a moment, he exerted strength with his foot, and an extremely small stone bounced out at an incomparably terrifying speed, instantly piercing through the thigh bones of the Single-Horned Tusk Boar.

Boom!

The Single-Horned Tusk Boar that was pouncing towards Xu Ling staggered and fell to the ground.

Xu Ling was stunned.

The countless students in the spectator stands were also stunned.

On the high platform, be it the leaders or the parents of the students, their eyes were all wide open.

Xu Zhenhua heaved a sigh of relief. He believed that one of the martial artists must have made a move.

Shen Jing’s eyes suddenly lit up. His gaze swept firmly towards the four participating students around Xu Ling.

“What are you waiting for? Take the opportunity to kill the Single-Horned Tusk Boar!!” The martial artist who was standing by couldn’t stand it any longer and shouted at Xu Ling.

Only then did Xu Ling come to her senses. She hurriedly turned her body to the side and slashed the neck of the Single-Horned Tusk Boar with her saber.

Pfft.

The ferocious boar head was chopped off.

“Nice!”

“Beautiful!”

“Xu Ling is too awesome!”

This scene made countless students shout out in excitement!

Many people shouted and cheered for Xu Ling. After all, this was an intermediate-level beast warrior, the Single-Horned Tusk Boar. Xu Ling had actually managed to kill such an existence!

Shen Jing smiled.

The goal of this combat assessment had been achieved. All that was left was to determine who was the peerless genius!

“Alright, let’s end this!” He said into his earpiece.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

The martial artists holding the fort instantly attacked, killing one Tusk Boar after another.

Shen Jing walked forward and said slowly, “Due to an unexpected situation, the combat assessment will end early!”

As soon as he finished speaking, many people were stunned.

On the other hand, the participating students who had the potential to enter the top twenty also started to feel excited.

Rumble!

Just as everyone thought that the assessment had ended, the ground of the training grounds shook.
