I Break through Crazily

He was fast, but his opponent was faster!

The masked examinee was terrifyingly fast—even faster than Bai Jincheng!

The speed of Bai Jincheng’s sword couldn’t keep up with the masked examinee’s pace at all!

The masked examinee only had to move slightly, and all of Bai Jincheng’s Sword Techniques missed completely.

’So fast! Unbelievably fast!’

This masked examinee’s figure seemed to multiply into countless forms, making it impossible to tell which was real. He would appear here one moment and over there the next, like a phantom, erratic and unpredictable.

No matter how sharp Bai Jincheng’s Swordsmanship was, how cunning the angles of his strikes, or how formidable his Sword Skills were...

...he still couldn’t even touch the hem of the masked examinee’s clothes.

’How am I supposed to continue this match if I can’t even land a single hit?’

"Impossible! Impossible! How can someone be this powerful! How can anyone be this fast?"

Bai Jincheng’s eyes widened as he stared at the masked examinee in disbelief.

Bai Jincheng pushed his swordsmanship to the absolute limit, using everything he had ever learned in the West Mansion, but he still posed no threat to the strange masked examinee.

Bai Jincheng had fought opponents ranked within the top 1,000 before. They were incredibly strong, but none of them exerted as much pressure as the masked examinee before him now.

Against those top-1,000 opponents, he at least had a fighting chance if he went all out. But against this masked examinee, he didn’t even have that. He couldn’t see a single glimmer of hope for victory.

It was impossible for any human to fight someone like this!

WHOOSH!

The masked examinee effortlessly passed through the countless Sword Shadows and suddenly appeared in front of Bai Jincheng. With a pinch of two fingers, he easily caught Bai Jincheng’s Longsword, causing Bai Jincheng’s ferocious assault to dissipate like a wisp of smoke in a gentle breeze.

"Now, do you still think you’re qualified to have me call you Senior Brother?" the masked examinee asked with a laugh, his tone filled with arrogance and self-assurance.

"Who... who in the world are you?"

Bai Jincheng’s lips trembled slightly. The pressure his opponent exuded was simply too immense, filling him with an involuntary fear.

Just like now. His Longsword was caught between the masked examinee’s two fingers. Just two fingers, yet they felt like a pair of iron tongs. No matter how hard Bai Jincheng struggled, he couldn’t break free.

"Didn’t you already know who I was from the start? I’m just an examinee, hehe," the masked examinee chuckled, then added, "Alright, let’s end this. Are you going to surrender on your own, or should I make a move?"

"I surrender!"

Bai Jincheng said without a second thought.

Bai Jincheng understood. Based on what had just happened, the two of them were on completely different Levels. His opponent was far, far stronger than him!

His opponent had rendered him helpless with moves that seemed like mere child’s play. Against that kind of strength, there was absolutely no point in continuing the fight.

At this moment, Bai Jincheng was also extremely curious. Who exactly was this person, and why was he wearing a mask?

Just what kind of Demon had appeared among this year’s examinees? Why was he so terrifyingly strong?

But before Bai Jincheng could dwell on it, as he spoke the two words "I surrender," a BUZZ rang out from the arena. Both Bai Jincheng and the masked examinee were teleported out.

After leaving the arena, Bai Jincheng didn’t linger in the Eight Palaces Deer Battle Hall. He immediately rushed out, rounded a corner, and arrived at the Ranking Hall.

By now, the Ranking Hall was already in an uproar.

On the Light Curtain, one particular ranking was especially eye-catching.

Rank 1153, Temporary ID 59416, Victories: 1, Defeats: 0, Score: 11680.

"What the hell, what’s going on? Oh my god, am I seeing things? Before, there was an examinee with a temporary ID who broke into the top 3,000, and now another one has shot into the top 1,500!"

"Breaking into the top 3,000, I can believe. But the top 1,500? How is that possible? And he’s ranked 1153rd!"

"The top 1,500 is where the outstanding Outer Mansion Disciples are ranked! Their strength is all at the Eight-star to Nine-star Battle Spirit Level. How could a new examinee be so strong?"

"This has to be fake, right? Is there a display error?"

"If this is real, then I feel like I’ve completely wasted my past few years in the West Mansion. I’m not even as good as a new examinee."

"It’s not that surprising for a few talented geniuses to appear among the examinees and break into the top 3,000. It happens occasionally over the years. But they’ve only ever made it into the top 3,000. No one has ever ranked higher than 2,500. That’s why I’m skeptical about this."

"Every 1,000 points in the score is a major threshold. The difference in strength between a disciple ranked 3,000th and one ranked in the top 2,000 is like heaven and earth. They’re separated by who knows how many of those thresholds, and the gap only gets wider the higher you go. How could an examinee possibly have the strength to rank in the top 1,500? I don’t believe it either."

"I don’t believe it either!"

"I have my doubts too."

"It must be a display error on the rankings."

"Should we inform the Hall Master?"

"..."

In the Lii Palace’s Observation Hall, every Lii Palace disciple present stared at the temporary ID that had bizarrely shot up to rank 1153, their faces filled with shock and doubt.

An examinee who hasn’t even officially entered the mansion has broken into the top 1,500? Who would believe that if you told them?

"Temporary ID 59416? So it was you!"

Bai Jincheng glanced at the rankings on the Light Curtain and took a deep breath. It wasn’t just that others didn’t believe it; if he hadn’t personally experienced that examinee’s power, he wouldn’t have believed it either. He would never have imagined an examinee could be so strong.

This wasn’t the kind of strength an examinee should possess. It wasn’t even the strength an Outer Mansion Disciple should possess!

Someone like him should be in the Inner Mansion, not the Outer Mansion.

After a moment of thought, Bai Jincheng spoke to the crowd, "Everyone, it’s real. That examinee possesses incredible strength. The rankings aren’t displaying an error."

After Bai Jincheng spoke, the disciples in the Lii Palace’s Ranking Hall all turned to look at him with confusion.

"Who are you? Just because you say it’s real, it’s real? And how would you know the rankings aren’t wrong? If you ask me, the rankings are definitely bugged! Otherwise, how could an examinee with just a temporary ID be ranked 1153rd? Is this some kind of joke?" a disciple stepped forward to challenge him.

"Yeah, if you’re saying the rankings aren’t wrong, then tell us what’s up with this temporary ID. On what basis could he possibly rank in the top 1,500?" another disciple chimed in.

Bai Jincheng thought for a moment, then said seriously, "His strength."
