Because of this, the Blazing Blood Pill was popular among many cultivators.
However, it wasn’t easy to make the Blazing Blood Pill. In terms of its value, it was as precious as the Golden Marrow Pill, if not better.
It wasn’t easy for even the upper house disciples to obtain one.
It was obvious that this pill was one of Jiang Hao’s life-saving trump cards.
By using it, Jiang Hao had already started to risk his life and was determined to kill Yan Jingren.
After consuming the Fierce Blood Pill, Jiang Hao’s skin immediately became red. Wisps of white smoke emitted from his body, and he suddenly had a fierce aura!
“Again!”
Sensing the vigorous Yang attribute spiritual essence in his body, Jiang Hao felt much more confident. He shouted and attacked Yan Jingren again, using his best martial technique.
In an instant, five bright red balls of light appeared and swept toward Yan Jingren with countless sharp sword intent!
“Five suns!”
The surrounding spectators gasped.
Many disciples looked surprised.
Even though they didn’t know about the Blazing Blood Pill, they knew the Nine Divine Sun Sword very well.
In the entire academy, only Jiang Hao could use the Nine Divine Sun Sword to the point where five suns were unleashed at the same time!
Xie Jingsheng and the others were also secretly shocked.
After losing to the tiger demon in the battle at the Dragon Abyss Mountain Range, Jiang Hao went into seclusion to cultivate diligently, and his Nine Divine Sun Sword reached a higher level.
However, he had only cultivated it to the point where four suns would appear.
But now, with a thrust of his sword, five suns rose at the same time. It was clearly the credit of the Blazing Blood Pill!
As soon as the five blazing suns appeared, the entire square was instantly filled with heat waves. It was as if they were in a volcano, and the heat was oppressive!
If the audience felt that way, one could only imagine how Yan Jingren, who was facing this attack head-on, felt.
However, there was no panic on his face. Instead, he sneered and calmly took out a small green tablet from his sleeve. “Go!”
The small green tablet stopped in the air. In the blink of an eye, it expanded into a huge object that was 10m long. It rushed toward the suns with a rumbling sound.
The sword energy that could crush metal hit the giant tablet, emitting a clear sound like metal colliding, but it couldn’t cause any damage to the giant tablet!
Before Jiang Hao could react, the giant tablet had already crushed the five balls of light and pressed down on him!
Jiang Hao’s expression changed drastically. He turned around and wanted to escape the attack range of the giant tablet.
However, he immediately discovered to his horror that there seemed to be a strange power enveloping his entire body. No matter how hard he tried, it was difficult for him to move. He swayed as if he had fallen into a swamp.
Suddenly, the light above him darkened, and the monument fell. Jiang Hao shouted and raised his sword with both hands.
After a loud bang, he managed to block the giant tablet. However, he seemed to be unable to withstand the force and was slowly pressed down into the ground.
Seeing that Jiang Hao was about to be completely suppressed, there was a sudden soft cry. The surrounding people only saw a light flash in front of their eyes. The huge tablet seemed to have suffered a heavy blow and quickly shrank back into Yan Jingren’s hand.
Yan Jingren glanced at Shen Zening and said coldly, “Senior Brother Shen, are you going to fight me personally?”
Shen Zening shook his head slightly and glanced at Jiang Hao.
Jiang Hao, who had escaped a calamity, blushed. He lowered his head in shame and returned to the crowd.
At this point, how could the crowd not understand?
Jiang Hao had lost this battle!
There was a moment of silence.
No one expected Jiang Hao, who was ranked higher than Yan Jingren among the upper house disciples, to be defeated by Yan Jingren.
Moreover, some disciples who knew better could already tell that the small green tablet was clearly some profound armament!
Unless they also had profound armaments, who else among the upper house disciples could be Yan Jingren’s match?
Did they have to count on Shen Zening?
With Shen Zening’s strength and cultivation, he could indeed easily take down Yan Jingren.
However, if that happened, the academy’s reputation would be tarnished.
The disciples of the upper and lower houses had gathered here, but no one could take down the traitor. They even needed the chief disciple to take action. Wouldn’t it be embarrassing if word got out?
Xie Jingsheng and the other upper house disciples hesitated for a moment.
Yan Jingren’s strength was obvious to all.
Just the cultivation of the fifth level of the Bright Aperture Stage was already very terrifying.
Apart from Shen Zening, only Xie Jingsheng, who was at the sixth level of the Bright Aperture Stage, could suppress Yan Jingren in the entire upper house.
However, Xie Jingsheng wasn’t from an influential family. Although his master was the head of the house, the resources he had were inferior to the disciples of influential families.
He had only one or two superior-grade enchanted armaments, let alone profound armaments.
Without a suitable Dharma treasure, he wasn’t confident in defeating Yan Jingren.
Yan Jingren didn’t say anything. He just looked at the people in front of him mockingly.
The silence was embarrassing. Just then, someone spoke in a calm voice.
“Since no one volunteers, why don’t 1 do it?”
The sudden voice shocked everyone, and they all looked in the direction of the speaker.
With a glance, they were all extremely shocked.
Lin Shen!
How could it be him?
All the disciples knew that Lin Shen was originally going to challenge Yan Jingren today, but with the decree from the sect, everyone had long forgotten about this matter.
After Yan Jingren defeated Jiang Hao, no one thought about the rank challenge.
After all, even Jiang Hao, who had been in the upper house for nearly two years, wasn’t Yan Jingren’s match. How could Lin Shen deal with Yan Jingren?
Under such circumstances, how could they not be shocked to see Lin Shen step out of the crowd and challenge Yan Jingren?
