"Boom!!"

Shi Yiran's attack was fierce, giving Mu Jinyu no time to breathe, as another straight beam of light shot towards him.

"Ha!"

Mu Jinyu's firewood knife broke, so he simply tossed the hilt aside and then took out the Long Spear Divine Weapon.

"Clang!"

He used the "Spear Scroll" to drive the Blood Dragon within his body, attempting to unleash the Blood-colored Dragon-slaying Sword.

But he failed.

Because the Sword Dragon Slash requires the "Scroll of the Sword" to activate, and also the Firewood Chopping Saber Technique, how could he execute it with a spear?

"Clang!!"

In the end, the dim Stone Light released by Shi Yiran crashed into him, but Mu Jinyu dodged in time, yet the Long Spear Divine Weapon in his hand broke and shattered, turning into a pile of stone chips.

"Good!"

"Without the sword weapon, it seems this guy can't use many of his techniques!"

"I was scared to death, seeing him take out a spear, I thought he was about to go all out and defeat Senior Shi. Luckily, luckily..."

"Hey, brother, did you also bet on him stopping in the top three? Me too, looks like this one is safe!"

"Sigh, I bet on him stopping in the top five. I hope Senior Shi will seriously injure this guy so that after he loses, he won't have the energy to challenge the fifth place!"

"..."

Seeing Mu Jinyu's embarrassing performance against Shi Yiran, many senior students who placed bets began punching the air excitedly.

Hoping Shi Yiran would thoroughly defeat Mu Jinyu and render him combat ineffective.

That way, most of them could earn quite a lot. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Only Mo Yunqiong looked distressed, eyes nervously watching the one-sided battle on the combat platform, muttering to himself, 'No way? I thought this guy was so fierce that he dared to bet all his credits on himself, won't he succeed?'

He was extremely anxious!

Because Mu Jinyu bet on himself to be the first, even though the first bet was a twenty times payoff, he only bet four thousand credits.

Even if he really won, he would just lose eighty thousand credits.

But he also swept the credits placed by other students, overall still profitable.

However, there were hardly any bets on Mu Jinyu winning first place, most bet on him stopping in the top three, or even the top five...

If Mu Jinyu really collapsed like this, or even failed to secure fifth place later, even with moderate odds, he'd be wiped out.

So nearly a hundred senior students and tutors on-site were very much hoping Mu Jinyu could hold on to win first place, except perhaps for that beginner student Chen Yinlong, there was only Mo Yunqiong.

This was a true interest contest!

"Boom!!"

Mu Jinyu desperately dodged once more, avoiding the dim Stone Light aiming to pierce his body, his eyes flickering with fiery light.

Without the firewood knife, he indeed lost two major trump cards, the Blood-colored Dragon-slaying Sword and the White Bone Sword Dragon Slash.

This made it much more difficult to deal with Shi Yiran in the Life and Death Realm.

But he wasn't completely without options against Shi Yiran.

He still had many other methods at his disposal, like the Earth Emperor's Tome or the Corpse-Wrapping Cloth.

And the Life and Death Twin Dragon Fist.

This technique could be executed without the Firewood Chopping Saber Technique.

Its power was incredibly formidable.

He had used this ultimate move to slay several cultivators in the Life and Death Realm.

The only issue was that he rarely used this move publicly.

It was a trump card he preferred not to reveal in front of so many eyes.

"Boom!!"

However, after narrowly being hit by Shi Yiran once again, Mu Jinyu became furious, unwilling to continue dodging in frustration.

"Roar!!"

The next moment, under the crowd's stunned and awed gaze, Mu Jinyu assumed a boxing stance, with the Blood Dragon winding on the left and the Bone Dragon rising on the right, the two dragons converged, forming a true Divine Dragon.

Divine light blazed, immense power surged, crashing towards Shi Yiran!

"This is..."

"Such a formidable move, it even contains the Life and Death Law!"

"Alas, what a pity, if his future wasn't so tough, he would be destined to step into the Life and Death Realm with this move!"

"Indeed a talent, such a pity..."

High above, the tutors and the Institute Head watched in amazement at Mu Jinyu's incredibly fierce punch.

Then they shook their heads with regret for Mu Jinyu's difficult path ahead.

He was truly born in the wrong era.

If he had been born in the Desolate Ancient Era, when Canglan Realm's environment was still suited to the Human Race, even if the path was rugged, he would surely have become a Human King.

If lucky, becoming the Human Emperor was also inevitable!

They genuinely sensed a hint of the Human Emperor's aura from Mu Jinyu's punch, truly unstoppable!

"Hmm?!"

On the combat platform, Shi Yiran squinted slightly as he saw Mu Jinyu unleash a punch nearing the Life and Death Realm.

His face grew solemn.

Initially, he didn't consider Mu Jinyu a threat at all.

But as Mu Jinyu's punch landed, he finally realized that Mu Jinyu indeed had the strength to contend with someone in the Life and Death Realm.

And not just any Life and Death Realm cultivator.

Ordinary Life and Death Realm cultivators encountering him would die from just one move.

Mu Jinyu had the capacity to battle against elites with strong clan bloodlines in the Life and Death Realm!

"Humph!"

Shi Yiran snorted, thinking to himself, 'Even if you have the power to fight us, so what? We have already reached the Life and Death Realm, and you're still lacking!'

Thus, Shi Yiran chose not to evade, confronting Mu Jinyu's Life and Death Twin Dragon Fist head-on!

"Boom!!"

He launched his right fist like a cannonball, shrouded in a layer of grayish material, releasing a terrifying divine light.

"Boom!!"

Then,

In the next second.

The true form of the Divine Dragon unleashed by Mu Jinyu collided with Shi Yiran's fist, shrouded in dim Stone Light.

"Humph, even if his move contains a trace of the Life and Death Law, so what? It's still not true Life and Death Realm!"

"Exactly, and Shi Yiran possesses Spirit Clan bloodline, part of the formidable Stone Spirit lineage, now taking it seriously, Mu Jinyu stands no chance!"

Seeing Mu Jinyu and Shi Yiran finally clash head-on,

Below the combat platform, senior students who had ranked in the top thirty and fought Shi Yiran before spoke up eagerly.

In their view, in the next second, Shi Yiran's iron fist would smash Mu Jinyu's Divine Dragon True Form to pieces.

And then, the brilliant Stone Light would pummel into Mu Jinyu, nearly turning him to stone, making him suffer greatly!

However, the next second, the scene between Mu Jinyu and Shi Yiran was entirely different from what they imagined.

"Boom!!"

Shi Yiran's iron fist, as large as a stone pot, fearlessly struck the Divine Dragon True Form, and a sound of bones cracking was heard by all.

Then, Shi Yiran's entire arm shattered, and the Divine Dragon True Form pierced through his body like a real Divine Dragon.

Leaving a gaping hole right through his chest!
