"Pfft!"

His face turned red. Soon after, a mouthful of fresh blood gushed out from his throat as it rolled down his throat. After which, his entire body slowly moved backwards before he collapsed on the ground. His eyes were filled with disbelief.

Even with his cultivation at the eighth level of the Spirit Stage, he was actually defeated by Xia Hun Wu, who was at the fourth level of the Spirit Stage!

How could this guy be so terrifying? His cultivation is only at the fourth level of the Spirit Stage.

No matter how much he did not want to admit it, he knew that another extremely powerful person had appeared in the Eastern Heavens Sacred Courtyard. And, this guy was truly terrifying to the point where only Liu Changan could suppress him.

This extremely tragic battle finally came to an end after Liu Jingyan fell to the ground. Countless gazes were gathered on the rocky ground of the enormous stone pit.

Looking at the slender figure of the young man, everyone couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

Although the boy's face was slightly pale and even his originally wild and violent soul power had been greatly restrained, no one dared to laugh at the boy's sorry state. Even some of the older students who had rushed over to watch had serious expressions on their faces.

Obviously, the fight between Xia Hun Wu and Liu Xu Yan just now had completely intimidated them. A fight of this level was rarely seen among the freshmen. Even the older students would probably not be able to endure such a brutal battle.

The young man named Xia Hun Wu had won the respect and admiration of everyone with his own strength.

At the foot of the mountain, countless freshmen stared blankly at the scene before them. After a moment of silence, someone finally reacted and began to gently clap his hands together.

When the first round of applause rang out, the earth-shattering applause began to resound in the surroundings.

Xia Hun Wu's strength had surprised them. At the same time, it had made them, the freshmen, proud in front of the seniors. At the very least, they did not have the qualifications to point fingers at them in their future lives.

This was because among their freshmen, there was also a monstrous figure that appeared.

Xia Hun Wu stood on top of the stone pit. He looked at the surrounding human figures that blotted the skies. When he heard the thunder-like applause, he softly chuckled.

At the top of the mountain, Bing Xuan was also looking at the young man in white. She slowly withdrew her gaze. She couldn't deny that Xia Hun Wu's performance today made him feel threatened, even more so than Liu Changan.

Liu Changan didn't know how to use mental energy, but Xia Hun Wu's soul power was strange, and even the Spiritual Array Master had reached the 9th Rank of the Human Stage. If he had enough time, he wouldn't want to see his soul power grow so fast.

He knew that the Mysterious Black Ice Empire coveted the Spirit Emblem Tower in the Great Yan Empire for a long time, and the battle for the Spirit Emblem Tower one year later was extremely important to him as well. For the Spirit Emblem Tower this time, he could be said to have prepared for a long time, and would not allow this boy to destroy it.

The thunderous applause lasted for a period of time before it slowly faded away. Yun Qinghang, Lin Chu and the rest also arrived at Xia Hun Wu's side. Looking at the latter's bloody body, they could not help but ask: "Brother Xia, are you alright?"

However, his pale face was clearly unconvincing to them. After all, Liu Xu Yan was not an ordinary seventh level Spirit Stage powerhouse. Although Xia Hengwu had defeated him, the price he had to pay was still extremely huge.

Not far away in the sky, Elder Deadwood slowly flew over and appeared in front of Xia Hun Wu. He looked at Xia Hun Wu curiously and laughed, "Little guy, seeing how hard you've been fighting, as long as you can reach the top of the mountain and obtain that soul fox, you'll be considered the number one freshman. Of course, the freshmen around here will all be your competitors."

It was true that the rule that was set was to return to the green platform after obtaining the Soul Fox. Although Xia Hun Wu had defeated Liu Xu Yan, it was clear that he had not obtained the Soul Fox. That Soul Fox was also an Earth Stage Level 7 soul beast, and it also had the bloodline of the Nine Tailed Heavenly Fox.

With Xia Hailwu's tired body, he might not be able to send the Soul Fox to the platform safely.

Even though Elder Deadwood had changed the rules so that Xia Hun Wu no longer had to fight with the Soul Fox, the freshmen around them were no pushovers, especially the few that had just passed through the Black Wind Fire Array.

When Yun Qinghong and the rest heard this, their expressions changed slightly. Although they hoped that Xia Hengwu could become the strongest among the freshmen, they were still able to sense Xia Hengwu's current condition. As for Li Feisha and Xuan Qing, they were obviously extremely powerful and their strength was not much weaker than Liu Xuyan.

With Xia Hun Wu's current state, if he were to fight with them, it would not even take ten rounds before he was defeated.

At the same time, Li Feisha and Xuan Qing also descended from the sky, looking in the direction of Xia Hengwu.

Facing the countless stares from the crowd, Xia Hun Wu continued to smile as he shook his head helplessly: "Elder Mu, I choose to give up on the next battle. Let them fight for the so-called Number One Freshman."

Xia Hun Wu didn't care much about this title of Number One Freshman. He came because of his grudge with Liu Xu Yan. Now that Liu Xu Yan was defeated by him, he didn't need to force him to get used to such a high-intensity battle.

If that happened, it would only leave behind a huge aftereffect for himself, and Xia Hun Wu obviously didn't want to bear that burden.

"Little fellow, you're quite interesting. The number one freshman gave up just like that." Elder Deadwood looked at Xia Hun Wu in surprise. A teenager like him should be in his prime. With just a little fame, he could make them fight for him, or even give up their lives.

And now, Xia Hengwu was willing to give up such an opportunity?

Numerous older students looked at Xia Hun Wu in shock. The latter was full of energy, if they continued to chase after him, it would not be impossible for them to snatch the Soul Fox away with Yun Qinghang and Lin Chu.

After all, the rules had changed. As long as they could make contact with the Soul Fox, they would be considered as the top freshmen.

Xia Hun Wu nodded his head. In fact, the top five soul power rewards for demonic beasts were also quite good, other than some differences in soul power points, everything else was the same. Moreover, as long as one could enter the "Soul Martial Palace", they would have the opportunity to obtain the free Heaven Rank Soul Art and spirit diagram.

However, if he were to fight with Xuan Qing and Li Feisha for the sake of the so-called number one new student, he felt that it was unnecessary. After all, the former's strength was there and if he wanted to defeat them, the price would be too heavy.
