Since the committee head could not use his full strength, he gave Singh a chance to launch successive attacks. Every time Singh's red sickle met the fist, sparks would spurt out, and some stones would fall.
*bam*
Another part of the fist was destroyed, blood appeared on the hand of the old man. Singh was stronger than he thought.
Singh had obviously reached the highest levels of the Dao in scythe fighting skill which enabled him to face a warrior from the Fusion realm. Even if the old man had not used all of his full strength, Singh's resistance until now proves that he would have made great achievements in the future.
The old man lamented the stubbornness of the royal family, who had pushed such a great talent to become a traitor to the kingdom.
At this time, the size of the blood sickle-blade had shrunk, and its strength decreased. Jin, who had been closely following the things, wouldn't have gone unnoticed by him.
"Can I talk to the old man telepathically?"
Jin asked Zi Yun, who nodded in affirmative, then telepathically linked Jin to the consciousness of the punishment committee head.
"Old man, like this, we're not only going to miss the lunch, but we're also going to miss dinner. Can't you see that you're using a hammer to break an egg?" Jin said disdainfully as he watched the fight.
"What do you mean, kid?" The old man stopped fighting and turned toward Jin with a confused look.
"By choosing the right weapon, you can defeat him in one second."
Then Jin pointed at Du Bai with a smile and said.
"The right weapon is here. With the right price, you can rent him."
The old man nodded in response to Jin and continued to attack Singh. Still, the situation remained the same. The old man formed a new fist and attacked. At the same time, Singh dodged the attack and smashed the old man's fist with his sickle, but it was clear that Singh's weapon strength was starting to diminish.
"Is that all you have, old man? What do you think you can do against me after I satisfy my sickle with the blood of your dear students, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha."
Singh laughed crazily before releasing more of his black aura to spread more of his black threads that sped away like snakes walking on the ground to search for more blood.
Zi Yun quickly reacted and created a magic barrier to protect herself and those with her, but the threads turned away, looking for new targets.
"Get away from this place quickly, don't let those black threads touch you."
Jiao Ti Yi shouted as loudly as he could, warning the students who were watching the battle, but it was too late, and some fell victim to the black threads.
Those threads were as if they had their own consciousness, dodging the attacks and piercing the bodies of their victims, and just as before, they were draining the blood from their body victims.
A wide smile appeared on Singh's face as he saw that the battle was going in his favor, but his expression changed when he saw that the corpses he had hit were shining in red light.
"You idiot, do you think the fusion realm is a joke?"
At this moment, the corpses turned into student-sized stone golems. They grabbed the black threads with all their power and prevented them from making any movement.
"Du Bai, it's your time to shine."
Jin called out to Du Bai, who was in a sprinting position and surrounded himself with a crimson aura. "Finally, it's my turn. I can finally use my full power."
Like an arrow shot out from a bow and at a frantic speed, Du Bai ran towards Singh. Although Singh didn't know what the enthusiastic brown young man was planning to run towards him this quickly, but he shot more black threads in his direction.
Du Bai maneuvered the black threads lightly. At the same time, a wave of frost covered the place, turning everything around him into ice. The black threads that were filling the place became frozen in the blink of an eye.
Before Singh could understand what was happening, Du Bai had arrived in front of his chest, and with the touch of his finger, the seed froze, then the frozen threads crushed into several pieces.
Du Bai's strength lies in his insane speed, which was evident on the day of the academy entrance exam. He set a record by running through the forest in less than an hour, and with the magic circle that Jin used on him, this advantage was further enhanced.
Now that he had broken through to the soul realm, he could confidently say that no one from the younger generation could rival him in terms of speed.
"Yeah… yeah… yahooo, this is my speed, and this is my law, crushing frost attack."
Du Bai was jumping with joy like a madman when he returned to Jin's side, the rest was staring at him in amazement, That was an insane speed. Their eyes had barely noticed him when he returned back to Jin's side.
***AAAAHHHHHH***
Singh screamed while holding his chest, his face turned pale, and his veins were popping out as he coughed so hard that he spit blood.
After that, the red sickle disappeared, and nothing remained in his hand except for his original stick spirit form.
*boom*
The old man's fist hit Singh so hard that everyone could hear the sound of bones shattering as he rolled onto the ground several times and finally fainted.
Singh's body was damaged, so he was urgently taken for treatment. He will be investigated to discover who his accomplices were and where he got the dark seed from.
It turns out that the issue of the student's exam, which seemed to be just an attempt to embezzle the money, was a huge issue, there was an unknown group who was secretly planning to destroy the kingdom.
The Head of the Punishment Committee was impressed by Jin's cunning and how he could spot Singh's weakness and defeat him so easily. He let out a small sigh as he muttered.
"It would be great to have a young man like him as my disciple."
The old man thought about it for a while. Still, there was no point in wishing for it. Even if Jin was a talented warrior, he was also a magician, so he was likely to become the great magician's disciple.
Then the old man turned toward Du Bai and thought.
'This boy who is jumping like a madman is a gem that has yet to be refined. He has a great talent and will be useful to the kingdom in the future.'
"Well done, boys, Jin's intuition, and the quick feet of the brown boy made us get through the situation easily," said the old man, looking at Jin and Du Bai with satisfaction.
Jin smiled and pointed at Lian and Li Chui.
"Girls also played a role. Lian was the one who pointed out that the black threads stemmed from the seed planted on his chest and not from his aura. Li Chui helped by casting the illusion magic on the golems to make them look like the students."
During the battle, the old man created a group of human-sized golems, then Li Chui cast illusion magic on them to appear as students. Her trick was effective as several black threads were caught because of it, which enabled Du bai's from freezing the seed easily."
"Oh, little magician, you did a good job, and you too, Lian, you seem to have a good sense of the aura's energy."
Then he turned to Zi Yun and said,
"Zi Yun, isn't this the same girl whose spirit form was a reflection of her image?"
Zi Yun nodded in affirmative and added.
"And this person is Jin who ranked first and has an unknown spirit form. Du Bai has a beast spirit but incomplete form."
The old man started wiping his white beard, remembering Jin's words from a while, when he told him that he had the weapon to trap Singh, but he wouldn't give it to him for free, he usually would be angry if a student bargained with him in such a dangerous situation, but in front of this young talent who will be the future of their kingdom, he decided to ignore the matter and help them grow stronger, then he smiled lightly and said.
"Miss Zi Yun, by my order, the four of them will be appointed as honorary students, with special permission to enter the upper floors of the library."
Hearing this news, everyone was thrilled, and they couldn't help but bow to thank the old man for his generosity. At the same time, Jin was negotiating with Jiao Ti Yi.
"Master Jiao, I think our relationship started on the wrong foot. Even though I was appointed as a magician, my spirit form is not a magical form. If your niece is interested in a great magician's disciple position. In that case, I won't compete with her on the condition that she will give me half of the spirit stones that she will receive monthly from the great magician. What do you say?"
Jiao Ti Yi was boiling from anger because Jin called his nephew a girl and dared to bargain with him about something like that, but he held back and nodded in approval.
He had given up hope that his nephew would become a disciple of the great magician after his attempt to expel Jin had failed. So Jin's proposal was a lifeline to him.
'What a scummer. He refused to become the disciple of the great mage from the beginning, and now here he is trading the position to earn spirit stones.
Li Chui muttered, frozen in her place as she listened to Jin's bargaining to finally sigh. If he didn't do something like that, he wouldn't be the scammer that she had brought from the future and stole her talisman.
