Chapter 57 Fight Tooth And Nail (Part One)


    At that time, the masters were waiting outside Bloody Mountain. They had all locked onto Ryan through


    their picture bs.


    Ryan had shown the most potential in the blooded test, but most masters had lost interest in him. While


    it was true that the masters used the test to hunt for potential disciples, they had their reasons for not


    focusing on Ryan.


    Firstly, although Ryan was the strongest candidate in this blooded test, the masters believed that he


    would want to join Dragon Peak because his rtive, Master Fang, was the head of Dragon Peak. If


    Ryan had no intention of considering other peaks, then the masters would not waste their time trying to


    recruit him as a disciple.


    Zen was another reason that drove the masters'' attention away from Ryan. The masters had been


    watching the examinees who had entered the second and thirdyers of the blooded test. They had


    seen Zen on their picture bs, and his abilities had caught their attention. They had been watching


    Nory for a long time since Zen had saved him. Although disciples from noble ns had surrounded


    Zen, he still risked himself to save Nory. Since Zen and Nory seemed to be friends, the masters


    thought they would stay together.


    However, to their great disappointment, they failed to find Zen. Zen didn''t seek out Nory in the next


    layer.


    The masters assumed that Zen might like fighting alone and dislike having contact with others. Perhaps


    Zen was a man who preferreding and going freely.


    After a long while, when no master had been able to find Zen on their picture bs, one master


    switched to Ryan. That was when he noticed the fight beginning between Ryan and Zen. Once he had


    alerted the other masters, excitement surged through them. They all shifted their picture bs to Ryan


    right away.


    Given the potential of both Ryan and Zen, the masters knew that a great fighty ahead. Adding to the


    excitement were the odds that were now in Ryan''s favor since he had cast arge entrapping


    himself and Zen inside.


    Ryan had been the most promising candidate during the test. But Zen was an unexpected sessful


    entrant. Ryan''s choice for which peak he would join was obvious and settled, however, Zen was


    different since he came from a low-level n. He had no one to depend on. Since he was a person of


    extraordinary ability, all the masters intended to secure him as their disciple and cultivate him with all


    their strength to create a bright future for their peaks.


    Seeing the battle between Ryan and Zen, the interest of all masters was aroused.


    "Who do you think will win?" One master whispered to the master next to him.


    "I think Ryan will win!" The master answered.


    "Why?"


    "Look at the weapon in Ryan''s hand. Don''t you know that dagger? It''s called the Cut-All-Like-Air


    Dagger! The energy fments emitted by this spiritual weapon were capable of destroying anything, no


    matter how strong. Zen would be knocked out of the blooded test as soon as the energy fments cut


    him."


    Before long, all the masters were debating about the odds of the fight between Ryan and Zen. Some


    supported Ryan, while some thought Zen would win. They could not reach a consensus.


    Only one master remained silent. Master Su was very upset. She sulked like a little girl who had hidden


    a toy of great interest to her from others but had lost it before she found the chance to take it home on


    the sly.


    Her expression conveyed her disappointment and anxiety.


    Zen stared at Ryan who was standing across from him. He gathered his strength and enveloped his


    body in an eerie iridescent purple light.


    At this time, Ryan was one of the strongest enemies he had ever encountered. Zen knew that this was


    just the beginning. He would face many enemies on his path, and they would be stronger than Ryan.


    Although Ryan was at the marrow refining level, he put great pressure on Zen.


    While many children idled away their time, many children from noble ns cultivated hard and


    possessed incredibly powerful strength.


    They had ess to the best resources in the world. If they could cultivate hard, they would make rapid


    progress and gain higherbat effectiveness than cultivators from ordinary families at the same level.


    Zen circled Ryan. After circling Ryan twice, neither Zen nor Ryan had attacked. Ryan started his attack


    on Zen when Zen circled him for the third time.


    With a malicious smile on his face, Ryan pulled a bright blue fment from the dagger in his hand and


    then threw the fment at Zen.

    Under normal conditions, Ryan looked gentle and quiet. However, he was in a frenzied state when he


    was fighting with others. It seemed that mutting his opponent was the only way to calm Ryan.


    Zen jumped up without hesitation and rolled back to avoid the bright blue fment, but he was a little


    slow. The bright blue fment flew past his forehead and cut off some of his hair.


    This narrow escape shocked Zen. He felt ashamed at not being able to dodge the attackpletely.


    Zen gulped when he realized that had he been any slower, the fment would have sliced his head off.


    Ryan gave Zen no time to catch his breath. He rotated the dagger in his hand and generated many


    chaotic bright blue fments in a minute. Then he ran toward Zen with the intention of mming Zen


    with the bright fments.


    The treacherous fments would cut Zen into pieces, and he would die a tragic death if Ryan were to


    seed.


    At the moment, Zen had no other choice but to run!


    Zen could not attack Ryan when the fments surrounded him.


    Running straight at the person holding the fments would increase Zen''s odds of being shredded. Zen


    needed another n.


    The day had not turned out the way Zen had expected. The test had been going well. After all, Zen had


    enough crystal shards to pass the blooded test. But now when he was so close to sess, he did not


    expect anything like this to happen. What could he do? With no other alternatives, Zen smiled bitterly.


    Therge covered Ryan and Zen. The epassed hundreds of feet, but there was little


    space for Zen to dodge.


    Since Ryan was relentless in his attacks, Zen had no choice but to retreat several steps. Atst, Zen


    was cornered. There was nowhere left for him to go.
