Chapter 160: Exam?

  Du Fei opened his eyes, looking tired and gazing at the sky. At this moment, Du Fei didn't know where he was either. The previous injuries had caused Du Fei a lot of suffering, but fortunately, Du Fei's physical condition was not ordinary, and with the help of the hospital director during Du Fei's coma, his physical injuries had been cured. Now Du Fei was just lacking in energy, and he sat up cross-legged to start practicing qigong to recover his vitality and energy.

  Du Fei slowly stood up and looked around, the surrounding trees were lush and green, with red flowers and green leaves, the scenery was extremely beautiful. Du Fei saw a place that felt particularly familiar. Suddenly, a long escalator appeared in front of him. The escalator stretched upwards, disappearing into the clouds, and he couldn't see the end of it. Du Fei thought hard, trying to remember when he had seen such an escalator before.

  After a moment of contemplation, Du Fei finally remembered what was at the top of this familiar escalator. "Ah, isn't this the foot of the mountain where Hua Yuan Academy is located? How did I end up here? Wasn't I inside Xi Ren Gorge? Have I already come out? I remember that at the time..." Du Fei once again recalled the scene from inside Xi Ren Gorge, but only knew that he had been unconscious and didn't know how he ended up here after losing consciousness.

  "Ah, forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. Anyway, I'm already out of that damned place and won't have to suffer there again." Du Fei's face gradually revealed a smile as he said this. Looking at the escalator in front of him, Du Fei also quickly climbed up. Thinking about not having seen his partner for over a year, Du Fei's heart was also filled with excitement.

  "Ah, we're almost there, we'll be at school soon, haha! Zujitian, Mojia siblings, I'm back!" Du Fei exclaimed excitedly as he climbed. As he looked ahead and saw the rooftops gradually appearing, Du Fei quickened his pace, jumping up to climb the stairs in one swift motion. Du Fei let out a long sigh of relief, but before he could even calm down, the scene before him gave him quite a fright.

  Only the vast expanse of the Hao Yuan Academy's plaza was now shrouded by a massive spherical aura, within which hundreds of people were engaged in a fierce and brutal battle. Various elemental martial techniques flew back and forth, accompanied by blood-curdling screams that seemed to never end. Some individuals, having suffered intense attacks, were smashed against the walls of the aura, causing ripples to spread across its surface. The scene was even more gruesome than Du Fei's own battle in the ancient tomb. As he looked closer, Du Fei realized that everyone inside was roughly his same age.

  "What's going on, has the Huayuan Academy been ambushed?" Du Fei looked at the situation inside the Yuanqi Wall with a puzzled face. Just as Du Fei was puzzled, a figure quickly appeared in front of him. Du Fei took a closer look and saw that this person was tall and powerful, with an extremely strong aura emanating from his body. This person was none other than Du Fei's instructor at the Huayuan Academy - Meng Wei.

  "Is it you?!" Du Fei exclaimed in shock.

  "Shut up, kid. Let me take a good look at how you've been training in the Valley of Snakes for the past year." "Come on in." Meng Wei's words were accompanied by his hand grabbing Du Fei's neck from behind. Du Fei quickly reacted and asked nervously, "What are you doing?"

  "Don't do anything, the exam is underway, you should take it too. Go now." After finishing speaking, Meng Wei quickly drew a few strokes on Du Fei's back. Suddenly, a talisman appeared on Du Fei's back.

  "What's being tested? And what have you been doing behind my back?" Du Fei continued to ask.

  "This thing is protecting you, just go in with peace of mind." Meng Wei said.

  "Wait a minute, you first tell me clearly what's going on here?" Du Fei asked, still puzzled.

  "This is the annual exam of Hao Yuan Academy, just go in and fight, I've set up a protective spell behind you to keep you safe from harm. Don't waste my words, you're my disciple, don't embarrass me. Go!" Meng Wei had barely finished speaking when he grabbed Du Fei and threw him towards the Yuan Qi wall.

  "Ah." Du Fei let out a miserable cry, and a dog-eating-shit pose crashed into the interior of Hao Qi's strong wall. At this time, the people inside the Yuanqi Wall didn't care about Du Fei's appearance at all, but were concerned about their own safety and constantly fighting with the enemy.

  Du Fei lay on the ground, staring at the bloody battle unfolding before him. He watched as elemental techniques flew back and forth, feeling the increasingly thick smell of blood within the Yuan Qi barrier. His passion was suddenly ignited from within. Without thinking, he stood up and threw a fierce punch at someone beside him. The person caught off guard by Du Fei's sneak attack had no time to react. He was directly punched flying tens of meters away, with a large mouthful of blood scattering in the air as he flew.

  Du Fei didn't even look at the guy he had just knocked flying, as long as there was someone by his side, no matter who it was, he would attack others. In fact, Du Fei wasn't familiar with many people either. He had arrived at Huayuan Academy a few days ago and was sent to Riyue Canyon for training. Except for Zujitian and Mo Jia siblings, whom he knew personally, everyone else was a stranger. Du Fei searched inside for half a day but couldn't find any sign of Zujitian or the Mo Jia siblings.

  Perhaps it was Du Fei's performance that was too outstanding, and he had already attracted the attention of several people. Several people were now staring at Du Fei with a fierce gaze, all wanting to knock him down. Du Fei's keen fighting instincts immediately reacted, and he quickly came back to his senses to face the few men. The few men also surrounded Du Fei, who was carefully watching them, and they too were being extremely cautious, slowly moving their feet closer to Du Fei. No one dared to be the first to rush in front of Du Fei at this time. It was clear that they had been shocked by Du Fei's performance earlier. As soon as Du Fei came in, he quickly defeated two people with a few moves. In fact, it couldn't be said that Du Fei was amazing, but rather that he was lucky. The others had been fighting for a long time and were exhausted, clearly showing signs of fatigue. Du Fei, on the other hand, was full of energy as soon as he came in, and this difference immediately became apparent.

  "You guys." Du Fei said with a flourish: "Since you want to come together, I'll fulfill your wish." As soon as he finished speaking, Du Fei's hands quickly formed a gesture, and his feet kicked off the ground, sending him soaring into the air. His right index and middle fingers merged together, pointing downwards as he shouted: "Niè Lěi Zhǐ!" (Inverted Accumulation Finger). The moment Du Fei spoke, a bolt of lightning gathered at the tip of his two fingers, its power evident to anyone who saw it. The students from Huá Yuán Academy below were shocked and terrified by this display, and those who had been attacking Du Fei began to flee in panic, each one aware of the consequences of being struck by this move. But Du Fei didn't give them any chance. Just as they reacted, the lightning on his fingertips shot out towards them. No matter how fast a person was, they couldn't outrun the speed of lightning.

  A loud "boom" shook the ground, and a massive crater suddenly appeared where Dou Fei's inverted finger had struck. The people who had been attacking Dou Fei were now all lying on the ground, unconscious and enveloped in a pale blue glow. As Dou Fei landed on the ground, he raised his foot to trample the attackers, but the pale blue glow instantly blocked his foot, protecting the people from being trampled by Dou Fei.

  Du Fei was also muttering to himself in confusion: "I passed out and still had the yuanqi wall protecting me, what a ghost." At this moment, a figure suddenly rushed towards Du Fei at high speed, but the person who flew over didn't have any attacking ability and was clearly blown away by someone else. Du Fei turned around and kicked the person flying towards him again to another place. As soon as Du Fei stabilized his body, he saw a person panting heavily and staring at him with malice. Du Fei took a closer look and his eyes immediately widened in anger, this person was someone he could never forget, Jiang Han, who had knocked him unconscious while mining and made him lose face completely. At this moment, Jiang Han's appearance was also quite disheveled, his clothes were tattered, and the wounds and bloodstains all over his body reflected that he had also gone through a fierce battle. Jiang Han also recognized Du Fei at a glance and sneered: "So it's you, the turtle hiding in its shell, who else could it be?"

  "You son of a bitch, I didn't expect to run into you here. Well, let's see how I'll deal with you today." Du Fei retorted fearlessly.

  "Less nonsense, let's see your move." Jiang Han hadn't even finished speaking before he launched a flying kick at Du Fei, his foot wrapped in a ball of intense flames. Du Fei saw Jiang Han attacking him and remained calm, his right foot sliding back in a smooth motion, his legs slightly crouched, as a bolt of lightning appeared on his hands. With both fists clenched, Du Fei struck out at the spot where Jiang Han was charging towards.

  "A boom." The sound of the explosion came, and the two fists and feet touched, exploding instantly. Jiang Han was indeed at a disadvantage this time, to know that Du Fei's current use of thunder and lightning is not ordinary, but Du Fei risked his life to obtain the heavenly thunder, even if the power of the heavenly thunder is not great, it is enough to deal with Jiang Han now. Jiang Han was also knocked flying by Du Fei's double fists, falling dozens of meters away. Looking at Du Fei again, he crossed his hands in front of his head, a simple movement that blocked the remaining explosion.

  Du Fei quickly put down his hands and looked at Jiang Han, who was even more disheveled than before. Jiang Han struggled to get up, with one foot supporting himself on the ground, while the other foot that Du Fei had struck was still shaking violently, and the pants on that leg had been torn into strips. There were several obvious wounds on Jiang Han's legs, which were still bleeding profusely.

  Du Fei smiled coldly and said, "Kid, what's wrong? Got a numb foot? Don't be impatient, I haven't had enough fun yet. The score between us has only just begun."
