Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

‘My Martial Soul isn’t strong enough, my Soul Power isn’t strong enough, even my combat ability is not strong enough. Then, what can I rely on to enroll into Shrek Academy? I can only rely on my perseverance.’

At this moment, he only had one thought in his mind and that was to stay alongside Lan Xuanyu and Qian Lei regardless of anything. To stay in Shrek Academy and become a part of the academy.

“Ah!” Liu Feng’s eyes turned slightly red as he shot toward Xiao Qi with the White Dragon Spear in hand, White Dragon Flas.h.!.+

Xiao Qi raised his hand and flicked the tip of the White Dragon Spear, causing Liu Feng’s technique to stagger and the White Dragon Spear tip to break. Liu Feng, who had relied on his single leg to thrust forward, was unable to stand still and was immediately flung out as he crashed onto the ground.

The fall was extremely heavy, and the broken bones at his chest had penetrated into his lungs. Liu Feng coughed out blood, and everything in his vision turned black.

‘I can’t hold on anymore? I really can’t persevere anymore?’

Xiao Qi walked over to Liu Feng’s side, stepped onto Liu Feng’s unbroken leg then spoke indifferently, “If you can stand, I’ll consider it as a pa.s.s.” He then stepped down onto the leg.

“AH——” Liu Feng screamed in pain, his entire upper body arched a few inches upward. The broken kneecap brought so much pain that he almost fainted right away. His body twitched uncontrollably as he coughed out blood.

Right in that instant, a thought surfaced in his mind, ‘Is this worth it? Is this really worth it? Am I going to die for this? Or am I already dead?’ He had lost the sensation over his legs; it was no longer in pain. Or maybe there was too much pain that his body overwrote his sensory nerves as a self-preservation measure. At this moment, he only felt a complete numbness; he could not feel anything. The only part that he could move was his right arm.

He raised his head with much difficulty, no longer able to see Xiao Qi’s figure clearly due to the blood in his eyes and only faintly saw the outline of the person.

But Xiao Qi’s words continue to resound in his mind. ‘Stand up. If I can stand, I’ll pa.s.s.’

‘It’s worth it. Anything is worth it as long as I fight for myself!’

‘I must become stronger, I will become a powerful figure, I will become a real powerful figure and catch up to Xuanyu. I want to stay in Shrek Academy.’

“Cough, cough” Another two mouthfuls of blood came out.

Beneath the stage, Zhang Chenyu was already walking over with a frown on her face. The questioning glare she had toward Xiao Qi seemed as though she was questioning him without words.

Xiao Qi gently shook his head at her. That’s right, Liu Feng’s current injuries were fatal, but the further a person surpa.s.ses his limits, the more potential that could be incited, and the more one could see an individual’s true character.

Liu Feng moved. He used his right arm and pushed himself with much difficulty as only that single limb could be moved.

At the moment, he was lying face up, but even the simplest movement of turning the body was extremely difficult.

His frail body seemed to squirm slightly as he struggled to turn himself.

Xiao Qi stood by the side and stared at his face with a burning gaze, especially at Liu Feng’s eyes.

Despite the blurriness in Liu Feng’s eyes, Xiao Qi was able to see the determination deeper within. The determination was a type of conviction that he had seen in many people before. Shrek Academy had no lack of people that had firm determination. But he had never seen eyes that carried such conviction from a mere 12-year old.

Finally, after using half a minute of time, Liu Feng’s entire twitching and convulsing body finally turned over. Yes, he turned over from lying on his back to a crawling position.

He used his right hand to grab the spear tip of the White Dragon Spear and allowed it to pierce through his hand. He used this method to stand straight on the stage and then grabbed onto the spear body and pointed the spear tip to the ground to stab into the surface.

“Dang!” Liu Feng was too weak, the White Dragon Spear was unable to penetrate into the hard surface and instead slanted to the side. It smashed to the ground and produced a clear and loud sound.

Liu Feng’s palm bled from the deep cut that exposed his metacarpal bones.

“He is losing too much blood.” Zhang Chenyu who was previously beneath the stage was already on the stage. She walked to Xiao Qi’s side and informed him.

Xiao Qi nodded his head then shook his head.

Zhang Chenyu wanted to speak more but stopped herself and did not go forward.

Liu Feng used his right and grabbed the White Dragon Spear’s spear. A faint, silver light aura appeared on his right arm; it was the Silver Moon Wolf Right Arm’s power.

He used all of his might and held the White Dragon Spear straight again. But the surface of the stage was too durable, and the current him was too weak.

By the looks of it, the White Dragon Spear was going to slant and fall again.

“No, I can’t fail, I need to pa.s.s the test, I have to!” Liu Feng screamed from the depths of his heart. He had persevered up to this point and finally saw the light. How could he give up at the last moment because of the pain?

“AH——” Liu Feng suddenly screamed as blood flowed out of his chest and mouth. His right arm suddenly erupted with a piercing, silver light. Under the stimulation of the Silver Moon Wolf Right Arm bone, the White Dragon Spear finally revealed the Silver Moon Spear Light. With a plop, the White Dragon Spear stabbed into the ground and stood erected for a long time.

Liu Feng unleashed strength with his right arm and forced his weakened body up. Just by relying on his right hand, he slowly pulled himself up then grabbed onto a higher point of the spear, and pulled himself higher.

After four to five times, he finally stood up by relying on the White Dragon Spear. Yes, although he had relied on the White Dragon Spear, he still stood up straight.

He left behind larger patches of blood on the stage.

“Teacher, I, I stood up…” Liu Feng gasped for breath and spoke up, spewing blood in between. But right at this moment, Xiao Qi actually realized that he was laughing. The boy was actually laughing.

In that instant, the smile on Liu Feng’s face froze. This time, Zhang Chenyu no longer hesitated and rushed forward to him. A pure and white light blossomed behind her and poured into the already fainted Liu Feng and aided to mend his body.

Zhang Chenyu turned back and glared at Xiao Qi: “You’re too heartless. This fatal wound of his will take a long time to recover even if he is saved. He can’t even partic.i.p.ate in the comprehensive exam later, how can he join the academy?”

Xiao Qi replied indifferently: “Only by going through hards.h.i.+p can a man go above others. This child doesn’t have talent. If he lacks the willpower, what qualifications does he have to enter Shrek? I saw the dedication and perseverance within him, and at the last moment, he even revealed a smile and not hatred. This proves that he holds a tolerant and kind heart. It is just a test, whether or not he partic.i.p.ates in the comprehensive exam later on isn’t important. Furthermore, since I have chosen to do this, I naturally have a method of remedying this.”

While saying that, he walked over to Zhang Chenyu and extended his right hand. In his palm was a faint gold and long petal. The petal seemed to curl up naturally; it was long and tapered. It emitted a faint fragrance, and the warm gold gave off a strange sensation, as though the surrounding life energy was attracted to it.

“Teacher Xiao, you…” Zhang Chenyu’s eyes widened upon seeing the petal. “Isn’t this too precious?”
