I Break through Crazily

Tang Yi’s punch seemed completely ordinary. He hadn’t used any Martial Techniques; it looked like nothing more than a casual swing.

Seeing this punch, the examinees on Brother Bin’s team were initially overjoyed. ’Now we have a chance to get into the West Mansion!’ they thought. ’That examinee from the North District clearly doesn’t want to take things too far. He’s letting us off. Otherwise, why would he throw such a simple, casual punch?’

However, when Tang Yi’s punch struck Brother Bin, who was deploying the Green Rainbow Barrier, they couldn’t smile anymore.

Tang Yi’s punch landed on Brother Bin. The seemingly unimpressive blow was packed with immense power!

BOOM!

The layer of silver light covering Brother Bin’s body instantly shattered, breaking apart into countless specks of silver light that scattered away from him.

As for Brother Bin, his body was struck with a force akin to a mountain crashing down on him. Resistance was out of the question; he couldn’t even hold his ground for a second. As the silver light dissipated, he was sent flying backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood before crashing heavily onto the ground in the distance, where he passed out.

The so-called Green Rainbow Barrier, supposedly capable of withstanding an attack from a Battle King, hadn’t even lasted a second in Tang Yi’s hands. It was utterly useless...

Of course, this was only because Tang Yi had intentionally held back. He hadn’t gone for a killing blow, reducing the force of his strike to merely knock Brother Bin unconscious instead of killing him.

Otherwise, with Tang Yi’s Power, just a little more force would have been enough to kill Brother Bin countless times over, enough to blast his body to smithereens.

The Green Rainbow Barrier? In the face of Tang Yi’s immense Attack Power, it was nothing but a fart.

No, it wasn’t even as good as a fart.

”He lost, but I didn’t kill him,” Tang Yi said coolly, his tone leaving no room for argument. ”Hand over your Demon Beast Crystals, then crush your Help Stones and leave.”

It was clear that if any of the examinees from Brother Bin’s team refused, he would not hesitate to kill them.

Upon hearing his words, the members of Brother Bin’s team moved quickly. They readily handed over the Demon Beast Crystals they had acquired from slaying Demon Beasts. Then, one by one, they crushed their Help Stones, leaving the Little Extreme Sacred Land and forfeiting this year’s House Entrance Examination.

Seeing Brother Bin’s condition and witnessing Tang Yi’s terrifying power, how could they dare to even think of resisting?

Although they were reluctant, their lives were more precious. At worst, they could just come back and try again next year. It wasn’t worth provoking a God of Slaughter and throwing away their lives for a single opportunity.

HUMM.

Even though Brother Bin was unconscious, another examinee helped him. His body flashed with light, and he vanished from the Little Extreme Sacred Land, returning to the West Mansion.

Under Tang Yi’s threat, all sixteen surviving members of Brother Bin’s team crushed their Help Stones one by one and departed from the Little Extreme Sacred Land.

Watching Brother Bin and his team disappear, Tang Yi smiled. He glanced at the Demon Beast Crystals in his hand, then turned to Bai Ye and the other examinees from the North District. ”Not a bad haul this time,” he said. ”I didn’t expect those examinees to have killed five Level 4 Demon Beasts in such a short time. They seemed pretty strong.”

”What does it matter how many they killed? All their hard work was for our benefit in the end!” Bai Ye said, then hesitated. ”But Tang Yi, robbing them of their Demon Beast Crystals is one thing... did we really have to force all of them out? It seems a bit ruthless. The West Mansion will lose a lot of talented people this way.”

”There’s no other way. You all saw their attitude toward the North District examinees. The more people from the Three Major Zones who remain, the worse it is for us. My only choice is to kill or threaten them to reduce the competition. You can’t blame me for this. The only ones to blame are them for standing against the North District.”

Tang Yi paused, then continued, ”Besides, do you really think we’re doing this for the Demon Beast Crystals? I’m not being arrogant, but they’re just Level 4 Demon Beasts. I can kill them with a single strike. Getting their Demon Beast Crystals is incredibly easy for me; I already obtained over a dozen on my own. So why did I rob them? It’s to get revenge for our fellow North District examinees and to create a safer environment for them during this House Entrance Examination. Right now, you few are the only ones from the North District I’ve found. The more examinees from the Three Major Zones that remain, the more dangerous it is for those I haven’t found yet. So, until I’ve gathered a decent number of our people, I won’t hold back!”

As Tang Yi spoke, a ruthless glint appeared in his eyes.

Right now, there was no news of Mu Xianling, Tang Shu, Tang Piaomiao, or Tang Baijie. ’Until I find them,’ Tang Yi thought, ’I will show no mercy.’

He would kill any examinees from the Three Major Zones that he could, and force out any that he couldn’t.

If he let them go, what would happen if they immediately turned around and took revenge on other examinees from the North District?

That would be like releasing a tiger back into the mountains, endangering his own people.

He was crystal clear on this point.

”That’s true. The examinees from the Three Major Zones brought this on themselves. Letting them go would indeed be a detriment to our North District,” Bai Ye said with a nod.

”All right. I know where to draw the line. On the condition that I can ensure the North District examinees can enter the West Mansion, I won’t let the West Mansion lose too much talent,” Tang Yi said earnestly.

”Mm.” Bai Ye seemed to have come to terms with it. ”All right, enough talk. Let’s go find our next ’prey.’ Next time, I want in on the action too.”

”Us too! We want to fight too!”

”Yeah, Brother Yi! Let us fight next time! Just standing around watching you have all the fun is making us antsy. It’s killing us!”

”Brother Yi, what do you say? Please let us fight next time!”

The examinees from the North District chimed in one after another.

”Uh…”

Tang Yi glanced at the eager faces of the North District examinees, thought for a moment, and finally nodded. ”Alright. Next time, you can all join in. I’ll take care of the main target, and you can handle the small fry.”

”Yeah!”

”Awesome!”

Hearing Tang Yi’s agreement, the examinees from the North District erupted in cheers.

And so, under Tang Yi’s lead, the group set off once more, searching for other examinees from the North District while also hunting for their next ’prey’ to rob…

...

「West Mansion Dui Palace, a corner of Shuangyong Square.」

In an open area on the north side of Shuangyong Square, a zone was marked off with a yellow line.

Within this zone, flashes of light appeared from time to time. Each time the light flared, the figure of an examinee would materialize inside.

These were the examinees who had been eliminated, teleported back to the West Mansion after crushing their Help Stones.

Once an examinee appeared in this yellow zone, designated Elders were responsible for escorting them out of Jiuji City.

Once outside Jiuji City, their House Entrance Examination was officially over.

If an examinee arrived in this area with serious injuries, powerful experts from the West Mansion would treat them before they were escorted out of Jiuji City.

Normally, during the House Entrance Examination, a varying number of examinees would crush their Help Stones each day and be teleported back to this yellow-lined area in the West Mansion.

However, the number of examinees returning to this area at any given moment was never very high. Sometimes one would appear, sometimes two, and at most, four or five at once.

But at this moment...

HUMM.

With a soft hum, over a dozen columns of light flared up simultaneously within the yellow-lined area.
