Chapter 896: Tang Ximen’s Determination
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Before everyone knew it, several thousand students had gathered at the White Jade Plaza.
A strong, acrid scent akin to burned toast wafted through the air.
Some of the beautiful female students had had their long, luscious hair forcefully curled.
While some of the handsome male students had been given afros.
What a fas.h.i.+on trend! If they could, they really wanted to express their “grat.i.tude” to the master barber, An Lin!
That’s right, the vast majority of them had been eliminated by the nightmarish An Lin. All of the students huddled together in groups as they tearfully exchanged tragic tales of being struck by lightning.
“Waah… It was so scary! Didn’t you guys say Senior Student An Lin turned into a coward during free-for-all battles? Why did he blast me with lightning on sight?” A first-year female student felt like she had been scammed as she sobbed with indignation.
A male student shook his head and lamented, “Sigh, there’s too much of a power gap. Speaking of which, are the teachers not going to do anything? Unlucky students like us would get insta-killed even before we get a chance to fight and show our skills. How are they going to evaluate our true strength?”
All the students were complaining, and some of them had even developed trauma because of An Lin.
In reality… the teachers in the Forest of One-Thousand Peaks weren’t just sitting around idly.
Over a dozen teachers had contacted Vice-Princ.i.p.al Yu Hua via voice transmissions to report An Lin for using hacks. They even suggested that they should just award him the first place by default.
Yu Hua naturally refused all these pleas.
Were they kidding? How could he bear to put an end to such an interesting free-for-all battle? He hadn’t seen such an interesting free-for-all battle for countless years…
Walking nightmare An Lin continued toward the northern part of the Forest of One-Thousand Peaks, bringing with him boundless lightning wherever he went. Countless students were eliminated amid a sea of anguished yells, leaving a ghastly trail of blood and destruction in An Lin’s wake.

Celestial Immortal Ming Yuan shook his head and let loose a forlorn sigh as he cast his eyes over the area that he was responsible for. “You can’t blame anyone for this. This is fate!”
“Will An Lin’s might forever crush you or provide you with impetus and ambition to work harder and strive further? Perhaps, in the distant future, some of these students would think back and be grateful to this nightmarish figure…”
Celestial Immortal Ming Yuan looked up into the sky. His eyes seemed to glaze over, but at the same time, they were piercingly clear as well, as if he could see through the flow of time and glean the truth within.
As for why he wasn’t making any records?
F*ck that! Just give them all donuts!
The beautiful Earth Immortal Yue Ying whose beautiful long legs were sheathed in black pantyhose sat on her flying book as she made records at blinding speed.
“Holy f*ck, An Lin, are you here to test my observation skills and speed of writing? I can’t even chop vegetables as fast as you’re picking off these students!”
Earth Immortal Yue Ying grumbled as she recorded the statistics.
Making records of over a hundred people at once was an extremely stimulating workload.
“I thought you were already using hacks during your first trial, but it looks like that was only the beginning!”
Meanwhile, An Lin was going along on his merry way as he enjoyed a hacked life.
He had already lost count of how many students he had eliminated, but was pretty much just dropping lightning in five-kilometer radius blocks. Anyone who could survive one of his attacks would be allowed to scurry away while he himself would continue onward to his next conquest.
In the southeastern region of the Forest of One-Thousand Peaks.
One of the most outstanding talents among the fifth-year students, Tang Ximen, was still wandering around aimlessly.
He desperately needed to engage in some battles to score some points.
He was determined to do better on the Immortal Rankings Board this time than he did last time.
Last year, the representative of the fifth-year students, Liu Qianhuan, came in second place on the Immortal Rankings Board.
Prior to that, the representative of the fifth-year students, w.a.n.g Xuanzhan, had taken out the top spot for the last two years he was at the university.
Even though Zuo Qiubing had taken the t.i.tle of the representative of the fifth-year students away from his, he was still the second most powerful cultivator among the fifth-year students! Hence, it was quite possible for him to rank in the top five this year.
He could accept the likes of An Lin, Xu Xiaolan, Su Qianyun, and Zuo Qiubing ranking ahead of him.
This was the signature noob logic of Tang Ximen.
And this opportunity was only opened up to him as Xuanyuan Cheng was still in seclusion to break through to the Soul Formation Stage. Otherwise, even his plans to enter the top five would be flushed down the drain…
“That’s strange, why can’t I find anyone?”
Tang Ximen thought to himself in bewilderment as he walked.
He remembered in his past free-for-all battles, he would encounter enemies without having to search around. But why wasn’t there even any sounds of battle erupting around him?
“How do I show off my power if I can’t find anyone?
“Forget showing off, I can’t even earn any achievement points!”
Tang Ximen was getting a little frustrated, and he picked up the pace.
One hour later.
Tang Ximen stood on the spot and fell into deep thought. “Could I have entered the wrong server?”
He paused momentarily before speculating again. “Or could it be… that the opponents haven’t sp.a.w.ned?”
Earth Immortal Zhi Hu’s lips twitched as he looked on from above. “Young lad, you haven’t entered the wrong server, and the opponents have already sp.a.w.ned. It’s just that they have been ma.s.sacred by An Lin!!!”
Tang Ximen wandered through the southeastern region of the Forest of One-Thousand Peaks for another hour before finally flying toward the north.
“Hmph! There must be some problems at that place! I refuse to believe that I’ll continue to encounter the same situation in the north!”
Tang Ximen flew through the air at high speed toward the north as battle intent raged in his heart.
Earth Immortal Zhi Hu looked on with sympathy at Tang Ximen’s departing figure.
“Silly child. You could have gone in so many directions, why did you have to choose that one? Is this fate?”
In the northwestern region of the Forest of One-Thousand Peaks, countless students suffered a nightmarish epidemic.
An Lin was like a G.o.d of Lightning, steamrolling through wherever he went with boundless bolts of lightning in his wake.
He encountered a few Spirit Nurturing Stage powerful beings, all of whom took one of his attacks before scurrying away into the distance, and An Lin allowed them to escape.
These were all seeded compet.i.tors on the Immortal Rankings Board, so he decided to give them an opportunity to prove themselves.
Soon, the northwestern region of the Forest of One-Thousand Peaks was cleared out.
An Lin hummed a joyful tune and progressed toward the northern region of the Forest of One-Thousand Peaks.
In the sky above, a Soul Formation Stage Earth Immortal’s hands trembled as he made rapid calculations to determine An Lin’s score. If these scores were revealed, everyone would be blinded by the scintillating numbers.
[An Lin: Combat Capability: 2600, Achievement Score: 21560]
“A five-figure achievement score? That has already smashed the precious university record! And it’s still climbing…
“It would be fine if he were just powerful, but the power of his consciousness is also defying the natural order! In a trial like this, he is a walking hack! He could encapsulate all the students who were within a certain range with his consciousness and exterminate all of them at once!
“A G.o.d of Slaughter! He’s a f*cking G.o.d of Slaughter!”
Cold sweat poured down from that teacher’s forehead. He realized that this was going to be a completely different trial from all the previous editions of the free-for-all battle!
Soon, Tang Ximen arrived in the area where An Lin was at earlier.
A flash of befuddlement appeared on his face.
“Why are there no people in this d.a.m.n place?
“This is way too weird. Am I dreaming?”
Tang Ximen became more and more panicked as he searched. There should have been battles erupting left, right, and center at this point, but he couldn’t even find a single person. This was way too bizarre!
“Teacher, I have a question! Where are all the people?
“There must be something wrong. Why is there no one here? Aren’t there supposed to be fifty thousand students spread all over the Forest of One-Thousand Peaks?”
Tang Ximen roared up at the sky.
However, there was no response.
The teacher would love to answer him, but they were prohibited from giving any a.s.sistance to students during the trial.
There were no people around as they were all outside!
Tang Ximen sighed with a resigned expression. “I don’t believe this! It’s impossible for all the students to have simply disappeared!”
He paused for a moment before setting off for the northern area of the Forest of One-Thousand Peaks.
The teacher stared after Tang Ximen with a sympathetic expression.
Silly child. You could have gone for the other directions, why did you have to choose that one…
