Xu Jin watched the seven men pounce and couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh.

"A bunch of weaklings; do they think numbers will help?"

With a flick of ten fingers, his Star Arrows fiercely bombarded.

Actually, these seven men also wanted to attack, but their Star Arrow attack range was insufficient. However, they didn’t expect that Xu Jin’s range far surpassed theirs.

Under such circumstances, from a distance, they looked as if they were rushing to their deaths, colliding with Xu Jin’s Star Arrows.

Then one by one, their heads burst.

Of course, there were exceptions.

The leader and another one of notable strength took two of Xu Jin’s Star Arrows each.

Within a single breath, seven men were slain.

Anger washed over Xu Jin’s face.

This group was one hundred percent from the Yan State Taoist Institute.

He hadn’t expected Ning Yuchan’s worries to come true.

Damn it, the path forward for disciples of local Taoist institutes is already extremely difficult.

These bastards from the Yan State Taoist Institute, to do this, and even after making sure he was from Jinshan Taoist Institute before making a move.

Specifically targeting Jinshan Taoist Institute, that’s just plain low!

The next moment, Xu Jin was seething with rage.

Since they were targeting Jinshan Taoist Institute like this, he would deliberately target Yan State!

If you, Lu Chenfeng, the Dean of the State Taoist Institute, have no shame in arranging for your disciples to harm others, then Xu Jin would go crazy too.

After all, the rules allowed it.

The next moment, Xu Jin called out to Lu Xianbing and then rushed toward the direction mentioned by this group of people.

There, it was said that there were disciples from the Jinshan Taoist Institute, though he didn’t know whether it was true or false.

If it were true, then all the better.

If it were false, even better!

When Xu Jin burst forth with all his speed, a distance of three miles was covered in just ten breaths.

Two groups of five people were fighting together.

Among them were actually Zhang Han and another disciple from Jinshan Taoist Institute that Xu Jin didn’t know well.

The three who were besieging them wore red collars and cuffs, indicating they too were from Yan State!

Xu Jin didn’t curse.

This was allowed by the rules.

Though emotionally, coming from the same institute or the same state meant a natural alliance.

But in the Wilderness Blood Battle, the rule is there are no rules.

Anyone could be an enemy, anyone a comrade-in-arms.

So, Xu Jin didn’t pause at all; with a sonic boom, he swept past just as the three men noticed him, unleashing three Star Arrows in quick succession, instantly killing all three.

"Senior Brother Xu!" Zhang Han exclaimed with joy on his face.

He thought his autumn exam was over, worried whether his current points would suffice—he didn’t expect to be rescued!

"Brother Zhang, have you seen any other disciples from our institute?" asked Xu Jin.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Han’s expression darkened, "Earlier, we encountered Senior Brother Yu Xianghua. When we found him, he was being besieged. By the time we got there, he had been surrounded and killed. We chased the killers and their number grew to four.

We managed to slay one of them, thought we were going to die, but you came!"

Xu Jin was also saddened by this news.

Yu Xianghua had undergone purification at least five times, he was quite formidable.

But unexpectedly, he had been killed off early.

It was unknown how many points he had earned before his death and whether it was enough to pass.

If he couldn’t pass, the loss to Yu Xianghua would be too great.

He had suppressed his cultivation level for a whole half-year just for the chance to pass.

After about 15 minutes, Lu Xianbing arrived.

"You three form a team; you should be able to handle most other teams! I’ll sweep the perimeters!" Xu Jin said.

"Sweep?" Lu Xianbing was puzzled.

"Don’t worry about it; just try to find other senior brothers and assemble them; the more points you can gather the better."

After speaking, Xu Jin swallowed a Three Elements Star Returning Pill; his Star Power surged while he executed the Flying Star Step in quick succession.

It seemed that the third stage of the exam would end soon, and Xu Jin stopped conserving his Star Power.

Previously, Xu Jin had been conserving his Star Power, maintaining about fifty percent remaining, and had not yet consumed any pills to restore Star Power.

Now, he was going all out.

The next moment, Xu Jin leaped from a large tree over twenty meters up, suspending and diving to the ground, using this time to survey the surroundings, seeking out targets.

Soon enough, Xu Jin spotted disciples with red garments at four different locations.

Executing the Flying Star Step in quick succession, he immediately killed his way over there.

Once he stopped conserving his Star Power, Xu Jin’s speed became incredibly fast.

After ten breaths, Xu Jin rushed to a team of four wearing red garments; with a flick of the Star Rope and his fingers releasing Star Arrows.

All were instantly killed.

After the killing, Xu Jin did not pause and immediately rushed in the next direction.

Finish, switch directions, then observe, search, and execute.

Along the way, Xu Jin also killed any other disciples he encountered, dressed in different garments.

In just half an hour, the number of disciples in red garments killed by Xu Jin exceeded forty.

As he flew, Xu Jin suddenly twisted sharply.

Miao Long!

He spotted Yan State Taoist Institute’s number one contender, Miao Long, in the forest ahead!

As Xu Jin turned around, Miao Long spotted him and immediately fled.

Miao Long had never encountered Xu Jin.

Yet, Xu Jin’s points from the second round spoke volumes.

One could luck into a few extra points, but absolutely not triple what he had.

In a chase and escape, Xu Jin instantly plunged into the dense forest!

Within the forest, Xu Jin’s bizarre movement technique reached its pinnacle in speed, rapidly closing the distance with Miao Long.

Suddenly, light burst forth ahead — they were about to leave the forest. Xu Jin saw Miao Long come to an abrupt stop.

There stood five more figures behind Miao Long.

All wore red garments — disciples, likely all from Yan State Taoist Institute.

Xu Jin’s eyes shifted slightly, and the Mingji Star Pattern activated. It wasn’t just five people.

Four others were lying in ambush within the forest.

Probably to cut off his escape route.

Those capable of such coordination were likely disciples from the Yan State Taoist Institute.

Xu Jin understood their tactics in an instant.

Fishing!

Miao Long and his crew were already executing a fishing strategy.

Typically by using a lone target to lure in a small squad of three to five, and then surround and annihilate them.

Only this time, the bait was Xu Jin alone.

Seeing Xu Jin charging without hesitation, Miao Long glanced at the five senior brothers behind him and the four more concealed in the forest. His confidence was overflowing.

Among the ten of them, six were among the top ten disciples of Yan State Taoist Institute.

Together, with a proper strategy, they could even sweep across the battlefield!

At this moment, Miao Long was supremely confident.

Seeing Xu Jin charging towards them without slowing, Miao Long inwardly cursed his arrogance!

Perfect, he could fulfill the task entrusted by the Chief Instructor of Yan State Taoist Institute!

"Attack!"

As Xu Jin rushed in, in an instant, six people dashed towards him. Meanwhile, the four ambushers, no longer hiding, sprang from the location Xu Jin had just passed, attacking him from behind.

At this moment, Xu Jin held nothing back.

As the six charged at him, the Flying Star Step at his waist exploded successively, and he soared over the heads of Miao Long’s six like a great bird.

During the fleeting moment of his passing, his ten fingers flicked rapidly.

In an instant, twelve Star Arrows shot forth.

"Ha, Nine Veins Divine Sword!"

The thought crossed Xu Jin’s mind, almost making him laugh.

It didn’t seem quite right.

It should be Nine Veins Star Arrows.

But for Miao Long and his six, it was a nightmare!

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!

A series of explosions erupted.

The faster ones cast Star Skills to destroy one Star Arrow and barely withstand another. The slower ones were blasted dead where they stood.

In just one encounter, three were immediately killed by Xu Jin.

Even Miao Long was sent stumbling backward.

But this was just the beginning.

As he flew over their heads, Xu Jin’s left hand suddenly shot out a Star Rope like a bolt of lightning, wrapping around one man’s neck as Starlight exploded at Xu Jin’s waist.

Kite Ring!

In the flying circle, his ten fingers flicked again.

After two circles, of the ten disciples from Yan State Taoist Institute, only Miao Long survived; the rest were all blasted to death!

Miao Long was terrified by Xu Jin’s horrific combat power.

This shouldn’t be ten against one, but rather one against ten!

He couldn’t win.

In the next instant, Miao Long turned to flee!

There was no way to win; fleeing might offer a glimmer of hope.

But in truth, at the moment of turning to escape in Xu Jin’s presence, there was already no hope left.

The Flying Star Step exploded in an instant, the Star Rope thrown out, ensnaring Miao Long. As Miao Long destroyed the Star Rope, Xu Jin had already closed in, his Iron Fist striking with lightning speed, Star Radiance blasting twice.

Skull shattered!

Miao Long — dead!

Inside the Autumn Examination Secret Realm, suddenly, Dean Lu Chenfeng of Yan State Taoist Institute sharply narrowed his eyes, his expression freezing!

Ahead, in the waterfall of Starlight, Miao Long’s name dimmed!

Not only Miao Long’s name.

The names of eight top elite contenders from Yan State Taoist Institute darkened, all at once!

What... what had happened?
