C120 Hai Zhan Became His Disciple
C120 Hai Zhan Became His Disciple
The current naval battle was more urgent than anyone else to prove themselves.
He was a super genius that the Hongtian Academy had taken a fancy to, but he had been defeated one after another. Everyone in the Tianfeng City was laughing at him. Even he himself started to doubt himself. But later on... With the help of his family, he killed several Peak of Spiritual Martial Stage warriors in one go. He regained some of his confidence.
Now, he wanted to prove himself in front of everyone.
There were many Spiritual Martial Stage Level Nine geniuses who had arrived before the war drums. They were also very strong, but they weren't as eye-catching as the ocean battle.
Hai Zhan took a step forward. Terrifying lightning energy gathered in his palm. His arm seemed to have turned into a giant lightning hammer that struck out with a loud bang.
"Dong!"
The sound of a heavy blow was heard, and the entire venue seemed to be covered in a layer of lightning energy. The lightning flashed across the space, and everyone's eyes lit up. The power of the sea battle's lightning seemed to have become even stronger!
"This war drum is worthy of being called a peak grade Ordinary Weapon. It's extremely powerful in enhancing one's attack." Han Feng's comprehension ability was extremely strong. In just a few breaths of time, he had already seen a thing or two about it. It wasn't because the ocean battle had become stronger, but because of the effect of the war drum. It had made the ocean battle even more powerful.
It could be imagined that if these war drums were placed on the battlefield, their attack power would be greatly enhanced.
"Boom!"
The second sound was transmitted into everyone's ears. This attack was even louder and stronger than the previous one.
Those who went on stage earlier would have their second attack weaker than the previous one. However, the second sound of the sea battle was clearly different.
"A super genius indeed lives up to his reputation." Everyone sighed in their hearts. Every time before the entrance examination, the Hongtian Academy would send people to observe the geniuses in advance, and then draw up a list of super geniuses. The people on the list would receive special attention from the academy. From there, they would obtain better cultivation resources.
Generally speaking, the name list of the academy would not be omitted, nor would it be overrated. Being able to be included in the naval battle, it was obvious that it had been carefully inspected by the Hongtian Academy. His talent and strength were both unquestionable.
"Dong, dong, dong!"
Hai Zhan clapped his hands, and endless thunder roared in unison. Another three knocks rang out, and the entire venue seemed to be swept by a strong wind. It was the chaotic airflow caused by the suppression of thunder and space.
"Dong!"
"Dong!"
"Dong!"
"Dong!"
Hai Zhan seized the opportunity and struck out with his four palms once again. Nine drumbeats shook the entire venue. His strength seemed to be endless, and the power of thunder drowned everything.
The people of Hai family were incomparably excited. They stood up one after another and looked at Hai Zhan, who seemed to be insufferably arrogant. A strong smile emerged on their faces. This was the number one genius of Hai family. He was powerful, arrogant, and different from everyone else. He was the only one who stood above everyone else.
"Nine echoes." Everyone's expression turned serious all of a sudden. The ninth echo was enough to pass the first round of the ocean battle. However, it seemed like he hadn't used up all his strength yet. He could still strike again.
Loong Yi also saw this scene. He secretly affirmed in his heart, but he didn't show it. With his experience, he had seen too many geniuses. Even if he could strike nine times, it wasn't worth it for him to put too much effort into it.
Furthermore, since Hai Zhan was one of the super geniuses, it would be too unworthy of his reputation if he couldn't knock nine times.
"It's extremely difficult for ordinary geniuses to produce a certain number of echoes. However, for the Ocean Battle, it's a piece of cake. This is the difference between a super genius and an ordinary genius. " Someone said. The people of Hai family were very satisfied with what they heard, and they looked at Hai Zhan with pride in their eyes.
Although many of them were unhappy, the talent that Hai Zhan displayed was indeed worthy of their respect.
"Dong!"
Hai Zhan's fist struck the war drum. The sound of thunder rumbled in all directions like a clap of thunder. The war drum was surrounded by lightning dragons. The strength of the attack was so strong that it could probably kill a Peak of Spiritual Martial Stage warrior on the spot.
Immediately after, Hai Zhan's lightning palm struck the war drum violently. The war drum once again let out three distant drum beats. The lightning light wreaked havoc in the heaven and earth, and the battle intent was so strong that it made one's blood boil.
"Thirteen." Everyone counted.
In comparison, the geniuses who went up the stage together with Hai Zhan were all very dull and lost their colors.
Even if there were eight or nine sounds, so what? It was only passing the exam. Everyone's eyes were all fixed on Hai Zhan.
Hai Zhan's eyes revealed an incomparably sharp light. He looked at Han Feng with a sneer on his face, as if he was trying to show off.
Han Feng smiled faintly. He had just lost to his opponent. Thirteen echoes and he was already so proud of himself. Did he really not know what it meant to have someone better than him? Was there always someone better than him?
"This kid is not bad." On the high platform, an elder spoke with a smile. He was also cultivating the lightning cultivation technique. The lightning energy unleashed by Tian Yuan was incredibly powerful, and he was respected as Elder Lei. When he saw Hai Zhan's outstanding talent, he couldn't help but want to take him as his disciple.
"Since you like it, why don't you take him as your disciple?" Loong Yi could naturally tell that Hai Zhan was extraordinary. His talent was indeed very strong. If Elder Lei were to personally guide him, his cultivation of lightning energy would definitely improve by leaps and bounds.
"Alright." Elder Lei smiled. "Is it a naval battle? Stay behind. I just happen to want to take in a disciple."
When Hai Zhan heard this, his face was immediately filled with excitement. His heart was violently beating. Becoming a disciple of an Expert of Celestial Energy Stage was definitely a blessing that could only be chanced upon by luck.
The people of Hai family also felt the supreme glory of being able to appear on the high platform today. They were definitely the higher ups of Hongtian Academy, and they had heard of Elder Lei's name before. He had personally killed a Genuine Martial Stage Level Nine expert before, but at the Genuine Martial Stage level... It's a top existence. An expert like this had personally invited Hai Zhan to join his sect. To the Hai family, it was an extremely high honor.
"Thank you, master." Hai Zhan knelt down and said respectfully.
"Get up. You don't need to participate in the next exam." Elder Lei nodded and said.
As soon as these words were spoken, countless geniuses were envious and jealous.
Hai Zhan returned to his family and looked at Han Feng from time to time with a proud expression. He secretly made up his mind to defeat Han Feng even if he had failed before. But from now on, he was the disciple of the Expert of Celestial Energy Stage. Would he lose to Han Feng?
After the naval battle, many more people went up the stage. They were Chen Ye from the Chen family and Wang Yuanfeng from the Wang family. Both of them slowly walked onto the stage. Both of them struck the war drums with their powerful strength. Chen Ye was controlling the Power of Fire. He was using the war drums to move the drums, causing the entire venue to feel an intense heat. Wang Yuanfeng's attack was like a divine weapon, carrying a terrifying offensive power. It was as if it could tear everything apart.
"Both of them, thirteen echoes."
Everyone's eyes froze. Including the Shanghai Battle, there were three super geniuses who had thirteen echoes. Could it be that the number thirteen was a threshold?
An elder who specialized in fire intent took Chen Ye as his disciple, while Wang Yuanfeng was taken in by an elder who specialized in forging weapons. Both of them had obtained excellent results.
However, the rest of them weren't so lucky. After a few hours, there were still very few people who had passed the test.
"Next round." Loong Yi said indifferently. There were no outstanding people among the thousands of people. Loong Yi was already tired of watching.
Another 108 people flew out and landed in front of the war drum. One of them caused quite a stir. This person was also a super powerful genius, Zong Qian.
"Is he Zong Qian?" Han Feng asked in a low voice. Although Zong Qian was from Northern Court City, he had made a name for himself in just a few days of time in Tianfeng City.
Zong Qian struck out with his palm, causing the ground to rumble and shake. It was as if everyone could see the ashen light circulating on his body. The strength was so great that it made everyone think that the war drum would be shattered.
"Dong!"
"Dong!"
"Dong!"
Three violent collisions were heard the moment Zong Qian attacked. Even many of the surrounding geniuses were affected, causing their hearts to tremble violently.
"Break!" Zong Qian furiously shouted. The will of the earth erupted wildly, and an endless amount of earth energy continuously struck the war drum. It was as if there was a cracking sound coming from the war drum.
"This Zong Qian is much more powerful than Hai Zhan." Han Feng said to Tianwang.
Young Master Tianwang nodded his head. His expression was somewhat solemn, "Among the nine of them, I am also very wary of him."
"Fifteen echoes." Everyone revealed an incomparably shocked expression. There was actually someone who could produce fifteen echoes.
Furthermore, this person was not from a family in the outer city of Tianfeng City. Instead, he came from a subordinate city, Beiting City.
"If you are willing, you will become my disciple." An old man from the upper echelons of Hongtian Academy threw out an olive branch.
"Elder Zhao." Loong Yi was a little surprised. He didn't expect Elder Zhao to take a fancy to Zong Qian.
Although Elder Zhao didn't cultivate the will of the earth, he was definitely one of the top three Genuine Martial Stage elders.
"Alright." Zong Qian agreed without hesitation.
Almost all the super geniuses on the stage had become the disciples of the elders. Their future path would definitely be much smoother.
"Brother Zhuo, how about we go up there and have some fun?" Young Master Tianwang invited with a smile.
"That's what I meant." Han Feng replied. Both of them lunged forward and arrived in front of a war drum. After seeing so many geniuses beating the drum, they wanted to fight for it too.
"It's young master Tianwang. According to the legends, he controls the Intent of Devouring. It's very difficult for people of the same cultivation level to defeat him. He should be able to beat the drum a few times more than the ocean battle."
"That black-robed youth has also gone up. It's said that Hai Zhan and Haichen were both defeated by him. Hai Pengfei from the Hai family was also killed by him. The Hai family should hate him a lot, right?"
When they saw young master Tianwang and the black-robed youth about to strike the drum, everyone was filled with anticipation. Young Master Tianwang was a veteran genius, and Han Feng was someone who could defeat super geniuses. Would these two people be able to create a result that surpassed a maritime battle?
Especially Han Feng. Many grassroots geniuses were looking at him. What kind of brilliance would this young man who came from a similar background as them emit?
