Chapter 152: Thunderous Giant Bear

Chapter 152: Thunderous Giant Bear

The five failed teams walked dejectedly to the side of the Martial Arts Field, waiting for their family members to come and take them away.

Dean Bai shouted, "Now we will begin the internal strength test!"

He took four large energy spheres, guarding them behind him, leaving only one in the center of the Martial Arts Field for Liu Ning to test.

Qin Yun sneered inwardly; the reason he didn't let Dean Bai do the testing was clearly because he couldn't tamper with it.

Liu Ning stood beside the two-meter-wide energy sphere, released a protective barrier, and then struck it with all his might!

Boom!

The energy sphere exploded with a loud noise, unleashing a violent gust of wind that swept across the entire valley, blowing everyone nearby into the air.

Liu Ning shouted, "Team Two passes! Now, Team Six will be tested!"

Dean Bai carefully lifted an energy sphere and placed it in the center of the Martial Arts Field, then quickly retreated to protect the other three spheres from being affected.

Liu Ning, as before, released a protective barrier and began to strike. This time, it took three strikes to shatter the sphere!

"Team Six passes! Next is Team Seven!"

Teams Seven and Nine both passed, and Qin Yun's team was Team Ten!

Finally, it was Qin Yun's turn for Team Ten, and everyone was on high alert!

Yang Shiyue frowned, saying coldly, "Liu Ning has a grudge against Qin Yun, yet he is the one conducting the test. This is clearly unfair!"

Duan Qian was also furious, "What is this? Look at Liu Ning, he doesn't even release a protective barrier, obviously trying to rig the test."

Master Wei laughed loudly, "Liu Ning is a good teacher, you should trust him!"

Seeing Liu Ning there, Duke Yan knew Qin Yun's team would not pass, and smiled, "We can fully trust Liu Ning. After all, he was appointed by the three Xuan-level Martial Academies and Runes Hall. Why do you doubt him?"

Beside the Martial Arts Field, Murong Daren and the others watched with clenched teeth and angry faces.

Huo Zhong gritted his teeth and cursed, "This scoundrel, I'll kill him, he's clearly trying to fail us!"

Murong Daren also cursed, "If he really fails us, I'll dig up his ancestors' graves!"

Qin Yun remained expressionless, watching Liu Ning's strike intently!

Liu Ning struck with what seemed like great force, and when his palm hit the energy sphere, it produced a crisp sound, but the sphere did not explode!

"I hit it so hard, and it didn't even burst. I told you, their energy spheres lack sufficient internal strength, so I don't need a protective barrier," Liu Ning said smugly, then struck again with great force.

The second strike, still no reaction!

Everyone began to murmur, agreeing with Liu Ning that the method of rapidly absorbing spirit energy resulted in low internal strength.

Qin Yun and Xie Wufeng both believed that Liu Ning cleverly controlled his force, making it look like he was striking with great power, but in reality, he was just lightly touching it.

Liu Ning laughed, "Third strike, I'll use even more force!"

Sure enough, Liu Ning struck with great force, his face full of smug satisfaction as his palm approached the sphere.

This time, the energy sphere trembled violently and suddenly exploded!

Boom!

The explosion was louder than any of the previous four energy spheres!

The power unleashed by the energy sphere was even more terrifying.

Qin Yun and the other students, standing beside the Martial Arts Field, were blown to the edge of the valley, crashing into the mountain walls.

The surrounding mountains shook violently, and many rocks fell!

The massive stone tiles in the center of the Martial Arts Field were shattered by the explosion.

The entire valley was left in chaos!

The houses where the students lived were torn apart by the violent internal force waves. Even the newly built wooden houses on the hillside were destroyed by the shockwave, forcing the occupants to flee.

"Liu Ning!" Guo Cheng flew down from the hillside, searching for Liu Ning. He saw a bloodied figure slowly sliding down a mountain wall.

Dean Bai, being at the Martial Dao realm, was unharmed. He flew over to Liu Ning, checked him, and frowned, "He's dead!"

Liu Ning was dead!

Everyone gasped in shock!

This was a teacher from the Heavenly Profound Martial Academy, and he was dead!

Murong Daren, Huo Zhong, and Xie Wufeng all felt immense admiration for Qin Yun. Though they didn't know how he did it, they were certain Qin Yun was responsible.

Guo Cheng looked angrily at Qin Yun's group, wanting to say something but remained silent.

Because Liu Ning had brought this upon himself. When he struck the energy sphere, he thought it wouldn't explode and didn't release a protective barrier.

But it did explode, with tremendous force. Unprepared, Liu Ning was killed by the shockwave!

Dean Bai announced loudly, "The first round of the assessment is over. Teams Two, Six, Seven, Nine, and Ten have passed the first round. Rest for an hour, then the second round will begin!"

Yang Shiyue smiled coldly, looking at the ashen-faced Master Wei, and said icily, "You lost, hand over the twenty-five thousand purple crystals!"

Duke Yan's face turned pale, his body trembling slightly as he muttered, "Impossible, impossible, this can't be... How could those four fill such a large energy sphere?"

Duan Qian laughed, "Quickly hand over twenty-five thousand purple crystal coins to me. If you owe me money, I'll take your mansion as collateral... and your old life too!"

With Yang Shiyue and Duan Qian here, Duke Yan and Master Wei had no chance of escape, so they could only painfully hand over the purple crystal coins.

Xie Wufeng smiled slightly, patted Qin Yun's shoulder, and said, "Liu Ning brought this upon himself; don't worry about it!"

Qin Yun gave a faint laugh. He had just poured a large amount of oscillating internal energy and mental power into the energy storage bead.

Thus, under his mental control, he could cause the oscillating internal energy inside to fluctuate, releasing a powerful burst of energy. By detonating the fully charged energy storage bead, this would create an even greater impact than a direct strike.

Guo Cheng, carrying Liu Ning's corpse, flew up in great anger. He naturally knew that this matter was not simple, but he couldn't say anything because Liu Ning had been the one to make the first move.

Dean Bai loudly announced, "The second round of the assessment involves attacking the eighth-rank beast, the Thunderous Bear, at the Blue Spirit Star Palace. Weapons can be used, but flying or climbing the rock walls is prohibited. You need to strike the Thunderous Bear ten times and then hold out for half an hour. Moreover, within this half hour, no team member must die, otherwise, it will be considered a failure."

Weapons can be used!

Upon hearing this, Qin Yun's face lit up with joy, and he said with a smile, "Being able to use weapons is good!"

Huo Zhong took out his large staff and grinned, "My staff can finally be used; this round shouldn't be too difficult!"

Xie Wufeng nodded, "As long as it's fair! With our strength, hitting an eighth-rank beast ten times isn't a big issue. Dodging the Thunderous Bear for half an hour in the valley without any team member dying is also not a problem!"

The members of the other teams thought the same way!

Just as they all thought this round would be easy, several bear roars suddenly echoed, and two three-meter-tall white Thunderous Bears slowly walked in from the entrance of the valley!

It turned out there were two bears, which immediately made the students' moods heavy.
