Chapter 962: Chapter 962: A Stunning Debut

"Uh..."

The moment Tu Hu’s long knife pointed at Zhou Tong, who was laughing loudly, was like someone suddenly and forcefully choking him, cutting off his laughter abruptly.

Because Zhou Tong realized that Tu Hu, who clearly only had a mid-level Heaven Level Cultivation Level, had a sudden increase in aura and a climbing fighting spirit in the instant his knife pointed at him. His entire demeanor surged.

At the same time, a sharp and invisible blade aura emanated from the tip of Tu Hu’s knife, enveloping him and giving Zhou Tong the chilling sensation of a thorn at his back.

"High Rank Heaven Level! How... how is this possible?"

Zhou Tong’s pupils suddenly constricted, his face drastically changed, and he couldn’t help but exclaim in shock, his gaze filled with astonishment and disbelief as he looked at Tu Hu.

The other disciples of Bitao Martial Academy at the scene also felt Tu Hu’s abruptly enhanced Martial Artist Aura, and upon hearing Zhou Tong’s astonished cry, their expressions altered and their demeanor gained a few shades of reverence.

Initially, the disciples at the scene thought that although Tu Hu was the top-ranked competitor among the Inner Court disciples, there was still a significant gap in strength compared to a Core Disciple like Zhou Tong, and that he was bound to lose in this duel.

Yet, who could have anticipated that right before the duel commenced, Tu Hu would surprisingly exhibit a High Rank Heaven Level Cultivation Level!

At High Rank Heaven Level, existing in the same realm as a Core Disciple, the outcome between Tu Hu and Zhou Tong had now become unpredictable.

Ever since his crushing defeat when challenging a Core Disciple two years ago, Tu Hu had become quiet and reserved, not initiating challenges against other Martial Academy disciples. Everyone thought he might continue to decline, but unexpectedly, he had ascended to a High Rank Heaven Level Realm and attained strength equivalent to a Core Disciple.

This Tu Hu indeed kept a deep secret!

Even if Tu Hu loses to Zhou Tong in this battle, it still doesn’t change the fact that he is a High Rank Heaven Level Martial Artist. It is certain that after this trial ends, Tu Hu will enter the ranks of Core Disciples and attract significant attention and nurture from the senior levels of the Martial Academy.

Many Bitao Martial Academy disciples watching from a distance were now thinking to act with greater humility and respect towards Tu Hu in future interactions.

After being shocked, Huang Miao let out a sigh of relief and thought, "Who would have thought that Senior Brother Tu, after lying low for two years, would not only make an appearance but do so spectacularly, ascending to a High Rank Heaven Level Martial Artist!"

Looking at Fang Bai standing beside her, she thought again, "Just now, Junior Brother Fang said Senior Brother Tu’s combat strength might be better than Senior Brother Zhou’s, and I was somewhat skeptical. Now, it seems very likely indeed!"

"Go Captain Tu!"

"Captain Tu must win!"

"We support you!"

...

The nine team members, originally thinking Tu Hu no match for Zhou Tong and mentally prepared for Zhou Tong’s retaliatory wrath, were shocked and exhilarated to witness Tu Hu displaying equal cultivation level as Zhou Tong. Some could no longer hold back and began shouting loudly, cheering for Tu Hu.

For these nine team members, if their captain, Tu Hu, defeats Zhou Tong, they too share in the glory, and their team’s prestige would be bolstered. Any other team thinking about targeting their Cultivation Resources would have to think twice about their capabilities.

"Brother Fang is really amazing! Although Senior Brother Tu had hidden himself well, he still couldn’t escape Brother Fang’s discerning eyes!"

Liu Liehu watched as the two High Rank Heaven Level strong men were on the brink of clashing, eyes wide in anticipation of the battle, and he grew even more admiring of Fang Bai.

In his eyes, since Fang Bai could see through Tu Hu’s real strength, he certainly had the capability to defeat Tu Hu.

"What an adeptly hidden Junior Brother Tu, I underestimated you before!"

Facing Tu Hu, who held a long saber with his battle intention continuing to rise, Zhou Tong found it somewhat difficult to swallow, feeling uneasy for the first time when facing a disciple from the inner court.

Feeling fear before battle is a taboo for martial artists, especially when two opponents of equal strength are about to duel. Once fear sets in, it undoubtedly proves fatal.

"Senior Brother Zhou, come at me!"

Tu Hu was adept at seizing the opportunity. The moment Zhou Tong felt fear, Tu Hu roared loudly, his figure shooting forward like a bullet and instantly appeared in front of Zhou Tong.

As he moved, the True Yuan swirling around his body surged forward like raging waves, enveloping Zhou Tong with his movement.

At the same time, the long saber in his hand swung down in a fatal arc.

The saber’s light flashed like lightning, tearing through the void, aiming at Zhou Tong’s left shoulder.

The Bitao Martial Academy allowed disciples to fight each other, but while causing injury was acceptable, causing death was not and would result in punishment under the academy rules.

Had it not been for the academy’s rules, Tu Hu’s strike might have aimed for the top of Zhou Tong’s head.

Facing the fierce slash from Tu Hu, Zhou Tong felt an unprecedented intense crisis, as if he was facing an attack from a direct disciple.

This Tu Hu, his strength was surprisingly formidable!

Zhou Tong gasped in shock, the bit of fear in his heart turning into endless terror.

Direct disciples are even stronger than core disciples, representing the strongest among thousands of disciples in the Bitao Martial Academy, with their strength only second to a few high-ranking members within the academy.

The cultivation levels of direct disciples are at Heaven Level Perfection. Although it’s just a small realm higher than that of the core disciples, this small realm is incredibly hard to surpass.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t only be ten direct disciples in the entire Bitao Martial Academy.

Moreover, among these ten direct disciples, more than half would stop advancing at the Heaven Level Realm, and only a few with better talent and opportunity might step into the Desolate Level Realm to become high-ranking members of the academy.

Advancing to the Desolate Level Realm and becoming one of the high ranks is the ultimate goal for the vast majority of disciples in their Martial Dao path at the Bitao Martial Academy.

Although Zhou Tong was terrified by Tu Hu’s strength, he knew that if he did not fully resist Tu Hu’s attack, he would be grievously injured by this strike.

In this area close to the mountainous heartland, teeming with Spirit Beasts, sustaining serious injuries could be fatal.

Because once they encountered an attack from a Spirit Beast, while other team members dealt with it, who would care for a severely injured person?

Therefore, to save his life, Zhou Tong had no choice but to grit his teeth and fight back hard.

Zhou Tong’s eyes bulged, and his hair stood on end, his combat strength instantly peaking.

He rapidly retreated, dodging Tu Hu’s saber strike while his right arm swiftly stretched out, pulling a long sword from the ancient scabbard on his back.

Zhou Tong’s strength ranked relatively low among the core disciples, so he usually wouldn’t voluntarily challenge a disciple stronger than himself, and he disdained using his sword against weaker challengers, hence he rarely used this sword.

Once he drew his sword, it meant he had encountered a formidable opponent and was prepared to go all out.
