19: Blood Drain Formation!

"Teacher, what exactly is Yan Xuan's background?" Chu Yuan asked.

It was useless for him to worry too much right now; when the sky falls, the tall ones hold it up... and wasn't Qi Da holding it up right now?

"Yan Xuan..." A complex expression appeared on Huang Bo's face—there was heartache, anger, and also regret.

"You all should know a few things; actually, he was your upperclassman... but that was ten years ago."

"Ten years ago? That means Yan Xuan is only twenty-eight or twenty-nine? Why does he look like he's in his forties or fifties?"

"...Something happened back then; his martial Dao Foundation was ruined, and his body was depleted, so he looks rather old." Huang Bo explained, then continued:

"When I first came to teach at No. 1 High School, I heard the name Yan Xuan; he was a martial Dao Genius!

It only took him one week from receiving the Quenching Origin Technique to Cultivate, to entering the Qi and Blood Realm;

Later, on the eve of the College Entrance Examination, he even reached the mid-stage of the Leakless Realm! He shone brilliantly in the College Entrance Examination!

He won first place in Chenyang City and third place in Yunan Prefecture, and was admitted to the Shendu Martial Arts School, one of the four great martial arts schools..."

Many people's gazes unconsciously turned toward Chu Yuan. A martial Dao Genius... wasn't Chu Yuan also a martial Dao Genius?

Perhaps, just like Yan Xuan back then, he had already entered the Qi and Blood Realm by now, right?

Someone asked directly: "Chu Yuan, have you already reached the Qi and Blood Realm?"

Chu Yuan nodded: "Mm."

Yang Yi naturally knew that Chu Yuan was not in the Qi and Blood Realm, so he quickly changed the subject: "Then what happened later? How did he end up being ruined?"

Huang Bo shook his head: "I don't know that very clearly... I only heard that during a trial at the Outer Heaven Battlefield front lines, while executing a school mission, some accidents occurred; and then...

At the time, our principal at No. 1 High School wasn't Principal Qi, but Principal Chen. After Principal Chen heard the news, he personally went to Shendu to bring him back and settled him in the school. Unexpectedly..."

"Teacher, I heard it was because he obtained a Legacy from a powerful expert, which caused him to be targeted and attacked from the shadows?"

Huang Bo said vaguely: "Perhaps. After all, although there are many Opportunities in the Outer Heaven Battlefield, any kind of accident can happen; you all need to be careful when you go to the Outer Heaven Battlefield in the future..."

Although he said that, Huang Bo actually knew in his heart that most people who go to the Outer Heaven Battlefield go as ordinary soldiers in the army and do not have much autonomy or authority to act independently... and of course, they wouldn't encounter things similar to what happened to Yan Xuan back then.

There would even be a considerable portion of students who wouldn't even be able to go; they would only be able to stay in Great Qin and join low-level combat sequences like the Public Security Bureau or the City Guard. These are also called retirement units.

Although there is no danger, there are also no Opportunities; often, whatever cultivation level they have when they join is the same level they have several or even a dozen years later. Just like himself...

In the pause of the conversation, a furious shout filled with energy rang out again. It was Qi Da roaring, his tone faintly containing a trace of panic: "Yan Xuan! Stop! Are you really seeking death!?"

The glass in the classroom was shattered by this violent shout, and many people fell to the ground swaying as if they were drunk; however, this naturally had no lethality against Yan Xuan, who was also in the Divine Power Realm.

The numbness on his face finally slowly faded away, transforming into excitement and fanaticism: "Hahahaha, hahahaha~ Principal Qi, I still prefer that look of you holding everything in your grasp from just a moment ago..."

Qi Da was silent for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said: "Leave now, and I will pretend I never saw you today!"

"Naive..." Yan Xuan looked at Qi Da with a mocking face, and without hesitation, ripped off one of his own arms and threw it forcefully onto the ground!

That arm sank deep into the ground like a javelin, and blood-red patterns spread out from it;

For a Martial Artist in the Martial Realm, a severed limb is not considered a very serious injury; there are too many ways to make a severed limb grow back.

But at this moment, Yan Xuan's face was pale, and he was standing unsteadily, as if he had suffered some irreversible, heavy trauma!

Qi Da knew the reason; it was because Yan Xuan had poured most of the energy essence in his body into that arm!

Blood patterns climbed onto Yan Xuan's legs out of thin air...

"I have heard about that matter from back then, and I know... you have resentment in your heart toward many people!" Qi Da paused, his tone sincere: "But, ordinary people are innocent..."

The mockery on Yan Xuan's face grew stronger: "Innocent? The weak have no right to speak, nor do they have the right to survive! The weak... only need to sacrifice themselves! This is the principle they taught me back then..."

"They did wrong, and they paid the price! I think they regret it more than you do..."

"Pushing out a few insignificant pawns counts as the price? Shouldn't I be resentful?" Yan Xuan sneered again: "Then, after I sacrifice these ants, I will also apologize; I hope you will forgive me on their behalf then..."

At this moment, the blood patterns had already spread over Yan Xuan's entire body; the ground inside the school was glowing red everywhere! On the damaged parts of the ground, one could see blood patterns twisting underground, like the veins of the earth.

Qi Da was anxious in his heart; it wasn't that he didn't want to attack, but that he couldn't attack! Because he recognized this thing... the Blood Sucking Array!

It is extremely complicated to set up, but relatively speaking, the benefits are also great!

Yan Xuan, as the focal point of the array, had even used his own arm to activate the Formation; before the array was broken, Qi Da could do nothing about him;

All of his attacks would not hurt Yan Xuan, but would instead be borne by the others in the array! It wouldn't be him, but it would be the students and teachers of No. 1 High School...

"Teacher, I'm dizzy..." "Me too, I have no strength in my body... Is this the aftermath of experts fighting?"

"Eh? When did you get a tattoo?" "What tattoo?"

Huang Bo was shocked in his heart, and just as he was about to speak, a feeling of weakness surged into his heart; he raised his hand, and streaks of blood patterns had, he didn't know when, coiled onto the back of his hand.

The inner breath within his body was being greedily devoured and absorbed by these blood patterns...

Chu Yuan also frowned as he looked at the blood patterns on the back of his hand, and he also felt his flesh and blood essence being drained; it was even trying to drain the spiritual power within his body.

But the quality of the latter seemed to be far higher than it; it was like a heavy weight, and it simply couldn't be sucked out...

Chu Yuan circulated his Cultivation Technique, and his spiritual power vibrated slightly; the blood patterns immediately blurred, seemingly about to dissipate; but in an instant, a new burst of energy was replenished, causing the blood patterns on the back of his hand to become solid again!

Chu Yuan felt the energy fluctuation and turned his head to look at the classroom wall; he perceived that a large part of the energy source for these blood patterns was coming from... the Energy Gathering Array?
