Up to this point, battling for blood intent was the main goal of the Metallic Blood Giant Tower and the audience understood the essence of the competition; the tower would randomly place two institutions as well as a large number of blood spectres in the same space starting from the second floor, but the collective amount of blood intent carried by these blood spectres was insufficient for all participants to advance to the third floor. In other words, it was inevitable that the participants would have to prey on each other in order to successfully advance to the third floor.768Please respect copyright.PENANAV0Z3Fp7Fjn
The audience watched participants perform fancy gliphilities and skills through the broadcast. They also saw an increasing number of disciples suffering serious injuries or giving up voluntarily, being thrown out of the tower.768Please respect copyright.PENANAYMeaXCob8M
The Metallic Blood Giant Tower was just like a large sieve, separating the capable from the weak and leaving only the former.768Please respect copyright.PENANALVrRBXalUq
“Look, some students from the Metallic Blood War Gate made it to the third floor already!”768Please respect copyright.PENANAJe6IXPdmTJ
“Same for the Stars Unite Education Centre!”768Please respect copyright.PENANAFyCSSsJbTY
“There’s someone from Cloud Palace's outer sect… it’s Mung Si!”768Please respect copyright.PENANA7Y6ZY7K2rE
Thunderous cheers bombarded the arena as the audience was hypnotized by the competition.

Boom boom boom!768Please respect copyright.PENANATo4AzTqVku
Yip Luk Ching was beat as she rapidly drew gliph after gliph. She was a talented alchemist but lacked a lot compared to those talented in gliphism. Since she had yet to create her personal gliph, Yip Luk Ching could only attack with the basic Leaf Blade gliph.768Please respect copyright.PENANA7QDBBycriQ
Sadly, the Great Book Academy was too powerful for her. Fok Fung didn’t even have to flash his swords; all he did was put his hands behind his back and sharp sword intent crowded around those from the School of Blossoms automatically, leaving them with minor injuries.768Please respect copyright.PENANAkem8g8pq06
Siu Suet’s arrow was similarly terrifying. The sharp cries it emitted had the School of Blossoms disciples jumping around to avoid the attack. The small tornado-like arrow pierced the ground and left a huge crater! Not only that, Ha Yu Bing was getting more and more familiar with her newly created Freezing Frost Blade while supporting Siu Suet.768Please respect copyright.PENANArc1R3m6sn3
It was a smart move for Siu Suet to not go head on with the School of Blossoms disciples, limiting their hiding area instead. Every one of her attacks was effective even if it didn’t hit anyone. The Freezing Frost Blade left frost on the ground too; this gliph had the ability to slow down, freeze, as well as injure Ha Yu Bing’s opponents.
Cooperating with Siu Suet well, every time the School of Blossoms disciples escaped Ha Yu Bing’s slow down or freeze, Siu Suet would eliminate them immediately with her arrow, which greatly annoyed the School of Blossoms disciples.768Please respect copyright.PENANApO8ggE7BwR
There were other Great Book Academy disciples helping Siu Suet and Ha Yu Bing, thus the School of Blossoms team lost their members quickly and it didn’t take long for the teen girls to realise that retaliating wouldn’t work.
“Senior Sister, we can’t go on like this!”768Please respect copyright.PENANAhP71qMwGkr
“We cannot let evil triumph, so take our blood intent and leave to the next floor, Senior Sister!”768Please respect copyright.PENANA2CPn67Um97
As if they had discussed in advance, the determined girls exchanged a glance and gave up voluntarily!
“We give up!” 768Please respect copyright.PENANAWtFjb2Obtq
Whoosh…768Please respect copyright.PENANAExin8opfRn
Within the blink of an eye, about twenty School of Blossoms disciples vanished into thin air, leaving those from the Great Book Academy stunned and subconsciously stopping their attacks.
Yip Luk Ching was touched by her junior sisters’ sacrifice, but she knew that she had to take action immediately so as to not waste their thoughtful action. With that, she waved her hand and collected all the blood intent they left for her before bolting off!768Please respect copyright.PENANA8oG4676NlD
“Trying to escape, huh?” Fok Fung turned pale and went after Yip Luk Ching as fast as he could!768Please respect copyright.PENANA0XzT29LdhP
“Forget it.” Siu Suet and Ha Yu Bing exchanged glances and came to a conclusion. “The stairs are right in front of us, let’s just look around for more blood spectres.” The other Great Book Academy members who obviously viewed the girls as their leaders left with them.768Please respect copyright.PENANAWSPqw8gYhR
Not far away, Fok Fung was chasing after Yip Luk Ching frantically, but when Yip Luk Ching ran with all her might, even Fok Fung couldn’t catch up!768Please respect copyright.PENANAqDm1LAdnkI
The sight of the round-shaped door put a smile on Yip Luk Ching’s face. With that, she dived into it!768Please respect copyright.PENANAiq1s96xQ19
Boom!
Fok Fung was wrapped in a translucent sword aura as he banged into the door and was sent flying backwards by the blood-coloured light around the door. Yip Luk Ching stared at him coldly from behind the door. “Luk Ching will remember you, young pride of the Fok Clan.”768Please respect copyright.PENANA0VXskpRniO
Swish.768Please respect copyright.PENANAHWbcdIp8uz
With that, she left and disappeared from the stairs.768Please respect copyright.PENANAYfNlwsTrKs
Fok Fung wore an ugly expression and left… in the direction Siu Suet and her group went!
768Please respect copyright.PENANAitY9OL4SLu
768Please respect copyright.PENANA4FdNx0ZM5d
Luck was on Siu Suet’s side. Very soon, her group came across a group of blood spectres to collect blood intent from. However, their peers all agreed that Siu Suet and Ha Yu Bing should take all the blood intent from the blood spectres they defeated.768Please respect copyright.PENANA1K42InaVot
The Great Book Academy was no united institution like the School of Blossoms. In fact, they were similar to the Cloud Palace outer sect – a grainy mess, with most capable disciples acting alone in this competition. All those that followed Ha Yu Bing and Siu Suet’s lead were either their admirers or knew that they were incapable and were hoping to collect more blood intent under the protection of these beauties.768Please respect copyright.PENANArrV7QzwFWN
Of course, prizes were only awarded to the top three, but as long as one wasn’t driven out, the weaker disciples could find a spot and absorb the blood intent for themselves and greatly benefit.768Please respect copyright.PENANA4zQeXxCZCv
Yes, this was Lung Wai Yuet’s plan – she deliberately had the disciples make a choice between upgrading their physical strength permanently or fighting for victory. Choices were inevitable in life, and the teen participants still had countless choices waiting for them to make in the future that would most likely affect their cultivation, and even their life and death. 768Please respect copyright.PENANAYHfz0GccAM
Unable to persuade the other disciples, Ha Yu Bing and Siu Suet accepted the blood intent and took their leave with the excuse of finding the best path. 768Please respect copyright.PENANAoKF2cujuIi
After bidding goodbye, Ha Yu Bing and Siu Suet went for the door, but they encountered Fok Fung on the way, full of murderous intent. 768Please respect copyright.PENANAt4RoftCXh0
“You have sufficient blood intent?” He frowned. However, he received no reply from the girls, only seeing a small tornado in Siu Suet's hand and the odd-looking bow. After some hesitation, Fok Fung left. 768Please respect copyright.PENANABbA4ovXpZ2
He did not fear them, but he was not confident in getting their blood intent before they reached the stairs. Thus, he turned away… toward the direction where Siu Suet’s group mates – Fok Fung’s fellow schoolmates – were at. 768Please respect copyright.PENANAC1ZSNP4CDv

Chui Yim and his team strolled around without hurry, handling any blood spectres they happened to come across, contrary to the anxious participants being shown on other broadcasts.768Please respect copyright.PENANAAunkfz5mhZ
They didn’t go after others, but that didn’t mean that others wouldn’t come for them. 768Please respect copyright.PENANAXIQ8vMC3DH
“Amitabha…” 768Please respect copyright.PENANA8MWOqidBGK
A foreign voice rang into the ears of Chui Yim and his group. If Lee Bat Fan were here, he would recognise this horrifying voice that sent him out of the tower. 768Please respect copyright.PENANAEJw3f1jZub
They turned around to see a group of bald teenagers behind them, led by Yuen Yau.768Please respect copyright.PENANAjJi4MJ8XDE
The sight of them annoyed Chui Yim. He didn’t like these teens who had the same hairstyle as him, and it finally made sense why people would sometimes gift him cabbage and buns when he passed by on the street, asking if he was a little monk from the Apex Temple here to beg for alms. 768Please respect copyright.PENANADVLtac6Bsr
“Spit out whatever nonsense you have to say!” 768Please respect copyright.PENANATFeLZjVlT1
Yuen Yau wasn’t affected by Chui Yim’s unfriendliness and put his hands together, showing respect. “Dear Benefactors, Apex Temple is still lacking blood intent for all of us to enter the third floor. We hope that Benefactors can…” 768Please respect copyright.PENANA74nB8SOOXq
Chui Yim and the rest exchanged glances while Kam Chin Kee laughed. “That’s why I told you guys that we don’t need to hunt for blood intent. It will come to us on its own.” 768Please respect copyright.PENANApIewlJAaFs
