Eric Romano was really worried about going through a test, he felt pathetic, he was a proud Devil Emperor, worried about passing a test.
'Does the old devil's blood and my new physique have anything to do with it? '
That was the only explanation he could think of, since many students were already on the ground, and some of them had a higher cultivation level than him.
So the only difference between him and them is that he is an ancient devil now. For the old man of the [Eternal Prison] gave him the blood, and the ring catalyzed it so that he would be an ancient devil.
It was the only thing I could think about.
More than half of the students had already fainted. Some even had blood coming out of their mouths, showing that they had acquired internal damage.
Han Soyu's fingers were now fiercely playing the instrument. The pace had increased so much that even Wen Shan, who was next to him, could feel the intensity. Wen Shan didn't know why she was so frustrated.
Apollo was also intrigued by the current situation. He knew Eric Romano, a piece of garbage from the Romano family. And he knew that Eric Romano was not trained in any martial arts. Therefore, he would not have any internal power, but he seemed able to withstand the wave of energy without any difficulty.
And unlike Eric Romano, the other students around him were all on the ground.
"Nnnnghhh…"
"Ugh, your ear is bleeding!"
"You too!"
And it seemed that it was difficult even for those who were enduring it. However, that was also because Han Soyu was increasing the intensity of his attack due to his frustration.
'Why is he playing so fiercely? '
The princes of the five clans, who had about 50 years of internal energy, could still resist the attack without so much trouble, but they still felt the frustration of the old man and that aroused their curiosity. They were not allowed to turn to look, but Wen Shan was very curious, so he had to turn around to see.
'What?! How come he keeps holding on like nothing? '
He almost spit out of his mouth.
Eric Romano was standing there as if the attack was nothing. Even Apollo, who had about a hundred years of internal energy thanks to the various medications he was taking, could feel stinging in his ears, but Eric stood there as if he couldn't hear anything.
'E... and... that bastard. He must have filled up on pills!'
Wen Shan was extremely furious.
'What? '
'What's going on? '
Fourth-rank Gu Song and sixth-rank Lin Yu wondered why Wen Shan seemed to be furious, and also turned around.
'Q-what?! What's going on?! '
'How can it be like this without any problems? '
Everyone frowned too. They thought Eric Romano would have fallen a long time ago, but he was still standing.
Frustration, shock, and anger can be seen in the facial muscles of the young men and fifth elder in front of Eric.
Without even analyzing, it was evident that they were looking at him with hostility. Eric realized that what he was doing was making them angry.
"They thought I didn't have any internal power, but enduring this infuriated them. '
If this was not resolved, it would still be a problem even if it passed the test. He doesn't want to waste time fighting against some young masters and having a hostility from an old man in the academy.
'Maybe he should intentionally harm me? I will do it when the instrument finishes playing, and I vomit blood. '
It was making these young people and the old man angry. If he did not suffer any internal damage or vomit blood, they would be suspicious of him. He could not take that risk within the Academy, where his status was useless, and someone with higher hierarchy could give him a hard time.
After the time limit ended, Han Soyu's patience was at the limit. She was already angry that Eric had gained internal energy, but now she was resisting as if nothing.
His tone changed. Apollo quickly felt the change and frowned. He knew how he felt, but now he was forgetting the purpose of why he was playing his instrument.
Before he could send her the message to stop, she began playing the instrument with half her power. This attack could not be resisted unless one was a demonic general.
*¡PUAJ! *
The students of the clans and high-ranking families paled at this moment. They started vomiting blood as their internal organs were damaged, and they weren't the only ones in trouble.
*¡PUAJ! *
Even the heirs of the five clans could not bear the wave of energy of the fifth elder. They tried to defend themselves as much as they could, but it didn't work. The weakest of the five heirs, Lin Yu, began to cough from the damage to the internal energy, and Apollo decided that he had gone too far.
(Stop! This is dangerous! You must not do it anymore!)
With that, Han Soyu also stopped playing. The students who barely endured it fell to their knees exhausted. If she played a little more, all the students might have failed. Han Soyu was embarrassed to lose control, but she was still angry with Eric Romano. His pride did not allow a young man like Eric Romano who is considered garbage, to fail. It was when...
Eric Romano's face quickly turned red and pale, and he sprayed blood from his mouth. Everyone who was watching, Apollo, Han Soyu, and Apollo, frowned.
'What? '
It was hard to believe that so much blood could be vomited from his mouth.
'He wasn't, okay? '
It was too much blood to be an act. Eric Romano sprayed blood and fell to his knees with his hands on the ground. He had definitely suffered great internal damage.
'Fuck! I almost died! '
With the little energy he had, he exploded one of his organs. He forgot that it is not his old body, and it is in a young man, who has just become an ancient devil.
People felt pain even when it was simple vomiting. But vomiting blood as a fountain was more painful than I had imagined.
"¡Ugggggh!"
Eric Romano then vomited more blood. The place around him was now soaked in blood, and it was even a terrible sight to watch.
*¡Hmph! *
However, unlike the fifth elder who was dumbfounded, the Bloody guardian Apollo could not stand and watch. If Eric Romano, the son of that family, died not because of the dispute between his family members but because of a test, all the fault would be Apollo's. He quickly rushed forward with his movement ability to fly towards Eric and see how he was.
"Hey kid! Are you ok!? Hey!"
Eric Romano felt dizzy after vomiting blood. He almost collapsed on the ground, but Apollo grabbed him.
Nano stopped his process. Apollo looked at Eric's pale face.
"You could have given up."
Apollo had already checked to see if he had any internal energy. Contrary to his expectations, Eric Romano did not have enough internal energy, to withstand more than 40 seconds.
'What? How can this be? '
This meant that Eric had endured the attack of pure will. And for the price, it had suffered serious internal damage.
'This one is crazy. How can you resist such an attack with almost no internal energy? '
He was amazed. Eric really passed the test with a little internal energy inside him. Apollo had heard bad rumors about Eric Romano. But who would have thought that such a child who spent his life from woman to woman and drowning in alcohol would have such a strong mind?
Apollo called the staff who were outside the training camp.
"Send him to a hospital room." While Eric was being carried away by the staff, he smiled briefly, but no one could see his smile.
'... Done'
