The Chaos Dragon Prince

Chapter 71 - Within Seconds



A strange atmosphere permeated the Crimson Sea Academy courtyard at this moment.

What should have been a serious part of the final exam was now turning into amusement for all.

Many students and examinees watched the battle stage with only mockingly cruel eyes.

A show of humility was about to begin.

Upon the battle stage, two youths stood opposing each other, both having completely different expressions.

In one corner, Kali stood proudly with her arms crossed beneath of chest. Her whole body posture screamed overwhelming confidence. Her eyes unwaveringly stared right into her opponent without flinching at all.

On the outside, she appeared entirely calm and collected. But internally, viciousness was spewing within Kali's thoughts.

All those jeers and disdain made by those mere mortals would be utterly crushed right here. The only reason she held off for so long is that she wanted to make sure everyone's beliefs were at their height before ruthlessly smashing them to bits.

In the other corner was a young man wearing Crimson Sea Academy's Inner student uniform.

This young man was Zak. A youth with relatively sharp, handsome features.

Zak is high among the Mid-ranks of Inner students, garnering a decent amount of respect between his junior and senior peers. Achieving the sixth level of the Nascent Formation realm is a remarkable achievement for his age.

This achievement certainly goes beyond other youths in weaker Sects or class-level families within the entire city.

So it was no surprise why Zak's current expression was of plain confusion. He, too, witnessed all the bright achievements Kali had performed during the exam. And he indeed recognized it to be quite high.

However, having that much Martial talent to the point where she could fight above her level?

The mere thought of that was too ridiculous to believe.

'Well, I can at least say this girl certainly has confidence like no other. And her looks are extraordinary. You know….' Zak mused to himself for a moment before coming to a snap decision.

In the end, Kali is a genuine beauty league above any other standard beauty. Plus, she has a fiery will that is not too often seen in youthful cultivators.

Zak felt like it would be a waste to not shoot his chance.

Mustering up the most charming smile he could achieve, Zak gave the appearance of a young noble prince. He then said, "Miss Kali, I commend you on your confidence. But don't you think this is a bit too much? You know, it's not too late to call back and complete the pavilion challenge. I'm sure you can score the top of the results."

His words came out as smooth as a river stream. All that he said was in seemingly good faith to not let Kali embarrass herself while also praising her genuine talent.

To many, they saw this as a reasonable sleek move to garner good faith.

However, it was like Kali didn't even hear Zak at all. She merely turned towards Elder Mo, who was standing right beside the battle platform, asking, "Can we start now?"

"Tch."

Being so blatantly ignored ruined nearly all good faith Zak had for Kali. His expression turned indifferent, and his gaze seemed a bit colder.

Elder Mo took one glance between Kali and Zak. Then, suppressing the surging waves crawling around in his mind, he said,

"Begin."

Before the students could think about how fast this fight would end, before the examinees could even blink, before Zak could even process how he should handle this arrogant girl, Kali made her move.

'Bang!'

Instantly, Kali's Nascent Aura frantically burst out of her like a rising tide! Her heavily dense Aura descended upon everyone as her prowess erupted.

For all Inner, outer students and the examinees, they felt as if their throats were tightly clutched down by a heavy palm.

Anyone weaker than the eighth level of the Nascent Formation realm felt it was immensely difficult to breathe, nearly bordering suffocating levels. These youths had no choice but to leap back several feet.

Kali's dense Nascent Aura pressured them like a thousand-ton mountain!

Bearing the full brunt of this powerful Aura, Zak froze entirely in his spot. His instincts roared at him to move. But Kali's pressure completely engulfed him, throwing him into an ocean of crushing suppression.

And at this moment, a harsh dark blue light coated Kali's hands. Her face held a slight smile as she then sprang forth towards Zak.

Kali and Zak were over fifty feet apart. And yet, distance matters little to her extreme speed.

Kali's figure was akin to a dark blue blur, nearly reaching Zak in just a second!

As Zak saw the Nascent Qi fist reign down on him like an executioner hammer, his pupils heavily contracted.

"Dammit!" Zak barely had the time to hastily gather his Nascent Qi.

Within this split second, Zak attempted to dash backward. However, no matter how far he tried to run, Kali's causal punch completely locked him down!

It truly felt like he had zero ways to doge this attack!

"Ahh!!" Bellowing out, Zak hastily combusted the Fire energy within his Qi Sea.

The temperature dramatically rose as Zak's entire arm became shrouded in bright orange fire energy. Around his palm, a Fire energy claw hastily formed.

In that instance, he frantically swung his Fire claw, crashing head-on with Kali's causal fist!

'Bang!'

Blood sprayed into the wind. The brutal sound of bones shattering tingle the scalps of students and examinees.

All of Zak's energy and Nascent Aura were entirely suppressed by Kali's causal punch! His Fire Claw shattered into tiny wisps of flames!

"Arrg!!"

Zak's miserable wail cut into the atmosphere. His body flew like a broken ragdoll under the aftershocks of their energy clashing, pathetically tumbling until he nearly reached the edge of the platform.

Just a few feet from the edge, Zak's body finally stopped rolling.

A trail of blood stained the battle platform, creating a chilling sight for all students and examinees.

"Is-is this for real….? In just one move….?"

Students and examinees nearly felt sick observing Zak's mangled arm. Some of his skin completely ruptured, revealing his bloody flesh and bones for anyone to gaze upon.

Surely if a fifth level and sixth level Nascent Cultivators were to clash, the fifth one should be the one in a completely ruined state.

And yet, the current scene before them was impossible to fake. It was finally then that the dreadful reality of Kali's immense Martial Talent began to sink in.

This….this sight was simply unbelievable!

"Ahh!! You fucking bitch!!"

Before anyone could think further, Zak suddenly stood right back on his feet with volcanic rage. His eyes were entirely bloodshot, glaring daggers into Kali's arrogant smirk, wishing he could rip her to shreds!

His arms were mercilessly broken without even a second thought!

To recover a broken arm was not impossible. But the resources needed to do is tremendous!

At this moment, Zak didn't care about honor or any kind of dignity. He needed to make this bitch violently suffer!

'Clang!'

Suppressing all of the pain wracking his body, Zak brought out a slivery shiny battle axe.

As the axe fell into his hand, Zak's Aura immediately thickened, shooting his prowess to frighteningly new heights.

"Ah?! Zak pulled out a Mid-Grade mortal weapon!"

All Crimson Sea Academy students cried out in shock. Right then, they all realized Zak truly wants to maim Kali!

At Elder Mo's corner of the battle platform, his brows only curled for a moment. He didn't show that much of a change in expression.

"Elder Mo….should we do something about this?" As if she was always there, Elder Xue suddenly asked from right beside him.

Kali's Martial Talent was groundbreaking, and Elder Xue certainly doesn't want to see her actually getting injured.

But even as she raised concerns, Elder Mo stayed indifferent. He simply asked her, "Pay attention to their auras. Is Zak overpowering hers?"

"I mean….wait….what the? He's still this weak?" Elder Xue's eyes open wide.

Indeed while Zak's Nascent Aura was powerful, perhaps at the top of all sixth-level cultivators.

It still was nowhere near close to Kali's Aura!

It was like comparing a slight breeze to an endless ocean; the disparity was too massive.

"Flaming Axe Arts!" At this time, Zak bellowed to the skies.

Raising his battle axe high into the air, he surged all of Nascent Qi within his Qi Sea and then violently swung it down! A massive torrent of Fire energy burst out from the axe.

The Fire energy stream burned the air itself as it soared straight towards Kali.

The surrounding Inner, outer students, and examinees all had to rapidly back up even more from this attack. The pressure was too immense!

Against this massive attack, Kali's figure looked incomparably small.

Although, Kali's expression was incomparably calm. Her hand moved faster than Fire stream as she coated it in bone-piercing Ice energy and raised it high.

Causally waving her hand, Kali released a thin line of Ice energy.

And before everyone's very eyes, an outstanding scene occurred.

'Hu~!'

Kali's thin line of Ice energy completely overshadowed Zak's Flaming Axe Arts! The Ice energy stream instantly froze the massive fire attack, utterly suppressing its boiling temperature.

'Ka-Cha!'

In the very next second, the ice shattered to thousands of pieces, effectively destroying Zak's strongest attack!

And this wasn't even the end of Kali's overwhelming display.

The thin line of Ice energy seemingly cut through space, reaching Zak instantly!

"You-what?!"

Zak instinctively cut down with his battle axe.

However, the stream of Ice Energy soared right past the axe and crashed onto Zak's body.

Ice energy penetrated right into Zak's body, ripping his defensive Nascent Auras like it was a thin piece of paper. Zak wanted to resist, but it was all futile. The Ice energy instantly froze over his Qi Veins, leaving him completely helpless.

'Bang!'

A loud impact echoed out as Zak helplessly crashed to his knees. His entire body had layers of frost covering it, nearly freezing him into a statue.

If Kali didn't massively hold back, Zak would be a frozen corpse by now.

Zak went entirely still. He could no longer muster up any energy, meaning he's been wholly defeated within just moments.

Humiliation, this was total humiliation. If it wasn't for the pain of his broken arm, he would've passed out in utter shame.

There was only near-complete silence filling the area. Nothing else could be heard besides the slight fluttering of the wind.

Nearly everyone stared bugged eyes at the battle platform. The only thing in students' and examinees' minds was utter bewilderment.

A sixth-level Nascent Formation youth that was extensively trained by one of the most prestigious academies in the city was beaten like a dog by a fifth-level young girl with seemingly no background.

And it all occurred in the manner of seconds….
