Chapter 29 The Undisputed First Place
Seeing that Qin Hao had easily broken through the ice wall, Bing Qing made a hand seal, and the chilling frost energy surged out once again.
After glancing at Bing Qing, who was relentlessly pursuing him, Qin Hao then waved his hand.
A purple-gold lightning whip appeared and swept out towards Bing Qing.
"Snapped!"
The thunderous whip lashed against Bingqing's delicate body with a crisp sound, sending her flying hundreds of meters away.
At the same time, a young man in a blue robe appeared behind Qin Hao on his left and launched a sneak attack with a punch.
Yang Hong is also a focal point among this year's freshmen.
Without the slightest hesitation, lightning erupted from Qin Hao's palm, and a surge of thunder roared out, easily blasting his opponent away and slamming him heavily onto the ground.
"puff!"
A mouthful of blood spurted from Yang Hong's mouth.
At this moment, his eyes were filled with fear as he looked at Qin Hao. He never expected that the other party would be so strong, and that he couldn't even withstand a single move.
"So strong! So that's Qin Hao, who can rival the veterans on the Heavenly Ranking. His strength is indeed formidable."
"Yes, I know Yang Hong and Bing Qing. They are very strong. I couldn't even withstand a single move from them. I didn't expect that they couldn't even last a single move against Qin Hao."
"Truly worthy of being a formidable figure capable of challenging the second-ranked person on the Heavenly Ranking."
Amidst the exclamations of the new students, Qin Hao had already flown towards Beiling Mountain, far ahead of all the others.
Upon entering the area of Beiling Mountain, he could hear the roars of beasts echoing everywhere, as powerful spirit beasts appeared and launched attacks in his direction.
Qin Hao was surrounded by thunderous energy, and these spirit beasts were instantly swept away without having any effect on him.
As he got closer to the summit of Beiling Mountain, the spirit beasts that appeared became increasingly powerful, and several celestial-level spirit beasts also appeared.
However, the appearance of these Heavenly-level spirit beasts did not hinder Qin Hao's progress; they were almost immediately blasted away upon encountering them.
"boom!"
Almost instantly, a pillar of magma erupted in Qin Hao's path, and a scorching heat filled the air.
Within the pillar of magma and fire, giant hands formed entirely of magma emerged and attacked Qin Hao from all directions.
"break!"
A sudden burst of lightning erupted from Qin Hao's body, and the surging power of lightning roared, shattering the giant magma palms that attacked him one by one.
Seemingly feeling provoked, a deep roar echoed from within the North Spirit Mountain.
The mountains trembled, and a huge crack suddenly split open at the summit, spewing out scorching magma that covered the sky and the earth.
These magma gushed out from the ground and shot into the sky, instantly transforming into a thousand-foot-high curtain of magma fire that blocked Qin Hao's path.
The intense heat permeated the heavens and earth, as if it were about to ignite the entire world.
"open!"
Thunder surged behind Qin Hao, transforming into two enormous thunderous hands that plunged directly into the magma curtain.
As the power of thunder erupted, a huge hole was instantly torn open in the thousand-foot-high curtain of fire.
Without hesitation, Qin Hao passed through the magma and fire curtain and reached the top of the mountain.
"Wow~ This strength is terrifying! Is he really a freshman?!" an older student in the audience couldn't help but exclaim.
"Indeed, this strength is too great. The power emanating from that magma is probably close to the Transcendent Realm."
"It seems that the battle in a few days will be quite exciting."
"Enough said, I'm already looking forward to the clash between the old and the new in a few days."
Not far away, Li Xuantong's gaze also narrowed slightly as he watched this scene on Beiling Mountain.
He knew about the spirit beast that created the magma fire curtain on Mount Beiling; it was a Heavenly-level spirit beast at the Transformation Realm.
Seeing Qin Hao tear through the magma curtain so easily, Li Xuantong also felt a bit of pressure.
At the summit, Qin Hao looked at the golden spirit flag stuck on the stone tablet and pulled it down without hesitation, declaring that he had won first place in this freshman competition.
No doubt about it, it's number one.
Those freshmen who wanted to seize the spirit flag were considered fast even halfway up the mountain; they didn't even have the right to compete with him.
Moreover, if he actually manages to climb up, no one can beat him.
Sitting cross-legged atop the mountain, Qin Hao quietly began to comprehend the incomplete divine technique he had obtained from the Northern Sea Dragon Kun, while awaiting the arrival of the remaining four new students.
Beneath the towering curtain of fire, a group of new students arrived one after another and began to use various methods to break through the fire barrier and head to the summit.
Although the first place has already been taken, the second to fifth place rankings are still undecided, so the freshmen are still full of fighting spirit.
As long as you make it into the top five, you'll have a chance to go to the Spirit Technique Temple to obtain powerful spiritual techniques. In comparison, the spiritual value is secondary.
"roar!"
With a roar, Yang Hong, who had recovered from his injuries after taking the drug, transformed into a giant tiger-dragon and traversed the magma and fire curtain to reach the mountain peak.
Bing Qing of the Ice Spirit Clan relied on the power of ice to protect herself and force her way through.
Mu Kui unleashed a punch, his spiritual energy transforming into a giant golden fist that blasted open a gap, demonstrating the principle of overwhelming force with sheer power.
Following closely behind, Mu Chen was protected by the dark Great Floating Pagoda as he passed through the magma and fire curtain.
Luo Li, who was at the back, easily tore open a gash with the Luo Shen Sword in her hand, making her arguably the most relaxed among them.
Apart from that, all the other freshmen were stopped outside the lava fire curtain, and no one else passed through.
Including Qin Hao, who arrived early, there are now six people gathered on the mountaintop. One of them is destined to become the sixth and miss out on the opportunity to join the Spirit Technique Temple.
Qin Hao was also somewhat curious about this fight.
Mu Chen is not as strong as he was in the original story. Under these circumstances, can he still win against Yang Hong?
"Gentlemen, there are only five spots available. We are all at the Fusion Realm, but I think this being at the Divine Soul Realm is unworthy of taking one. What do you all think?"
Yang Hong was the first to step forward, pointing the finger directly at Mu Chen.
Mu Chen was equally unwilling to back down, "Since you want to fight, then let's fight! I'll show you that even without the spiritual power of the Spiritual Path, I can still beat you down!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the two engaged in a fierce battle on the mountaintop.
Yang Hong unleashed his full power at the mid-stage of the Heaven Fusion Realm, transforming into a terrifying tiger-dragon.
Mu Chen entered a mental array state and set up a series of spiritual arrays to fight Yang Hong.
One is at the mid-stage of the Heavenly Fusion Realm, and the other is at the mid-stage of the Divine Soul Realm; there is a whole major realm difference between them.
Mu Chen knew that he was no match for his opponent in a direct fight, and the only way to win was to rely on the power of the spirit array.
However, he underestimated Yang Hong's strength.
With his mid-stage Heavenly Fusion Realm cultivation and the power of the Tiger-Dragon Essence, Yang Hong was able to withstand and even tear apart the spiritual arrays he had set up.
"Mu Chen, today I will show you that within the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy, my brilliance, Yang Hong, will overshadow yours!"
The tiger-dragon that Yang Hong had transformed into roared and slammed its claw down hard at Mu Chenlang.
Mu Chen fought back with all his might, pushing the Great Floating Pagoda Technique to its limit.
However, due to the vast difference in their cultivation levels, Mu Chen ultimately could not withstand the claw attack and was slammed off the mountain peak.
Upon seeing this, Qin Hao couldn't help but look in Luo Li's direction.
He was somewhat surprised that Luo Li did not offer any assistance. Was she so confident in Mu Chen that she never even considered helping him?
Luo Li was also quite surprised to see what was happening in front of her.
She had confidence in Mu Chen, believing that even without the spiritual path's empowerment, he would still shine brightly and eventually become famous throughout the world.
But now that confidence is starting to waver in her heart.
The halo surrounding that once shone so brightly in her eyes seemed to be slowly fading.
Is it really true, as they say, that coming here was a mistake?
For a moment, a look of confusion and helplessness appeared in the girl's eyes.
