Chapter 65: I Can Actually Snatch?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Jiang Yi!”

Elder Fu and Mentor Rong exchanged eye contact and let out unnatural expressions. They were both interested in Jiang Yi’s strength and his mysterious abilities, but they weren’t satisfied with his temperament. He, who was a 16-year-old, brutally murdered and crippled so many people in the Western Hills. If he entered the college with such temperament, wouldn’t he cause chaos within?

Especially Mentor Rong. He still held a grudge when Jiang Yunhai said he wanted to bury everyone alongside Jiang Yi. His eyes rolled a few times before speaking, “This cadet. You are already late. According to the rules, you have lost the rights to participate in the Blood Purge!”

“Uh?”

The declaration from Mentor Rong made everyone shocked while looking at Jiang Yi with pity. After much effort to reach the Spirit Beast City, he actually failed before even participating in the Blood Purge. He sure had it tough.

Jiang Henshui, Liu He, and the rest were silently elated. In fact, they were actually slightly fearful of Jiang Yi and naturally didn’t want Jiang Yi to enter the college. Especially Jiang Henshui... whenever he saw Jiang Yi, he would have heartache, recalling how his Jiang clansmen died miserably. When he remembered how Jiang Yunshan suddenly had a growth of gray hair over a single night, it made Jiang Henshui hate and fear Jiang Yi. He couldn’t show it on his outward appearance and could only endure it in his heart, almost driving him crazy.

Ji Tingyu and Mentor Su had a frown instead. Many of the mentors let out a doubtful expression. This cadet might have been late, but the Blood Purge had yet to begin? There wasn’t a need to take it so seriously, right? Could this cadet have any grudge with Mentor Rong? When they thought about it, most of the mentors remained silent. They weren’t so silly to offend Mentor Rong just to help Jiang Yi.

“I don’t think it is appropriate!”

Suddenly, a clear voice echoed, which made all the other mentors feel odd. They all looked at Mentor Su and turned to look at Jiang Yi again. Could this cadet be related to the ice mountain beauty of the college? If not, why would she—who was always cold and indifferent—help this youth?

Mentor Su ignored all the eyes and indifferently said, “Every cadet is the wealth of our college, and this cadet came just on time. It would be cruel if we took his participation rights. It would be best to give him another opportunity.”

“Ruoxue, since it’s you who said it, then we’ll give him another chance!”

The one who hosted the Blood Purge was the black-armored male. He looked at Mentor Su while smiling slightly. He then gestured with a wave. “Alright then. Let the Blood Purge begin.”

“Swish! Swish! ”

As that mentor’s voice fell silent, countless figures burst out immediately, separating into two long dragons going to the east and the west while all heading towards the southern mountain range which was peaking through the clouds.

“Many thanks, Mentor Su.”

Jiang Yi bowed with gratitude towards Ruoxue before scratching his head while looking lost. He then asked, “Mentor Su, which way should I go?”

“Haha!”

Countless mentors burst out laughing, thinking that this cadet was abnormally dumb! Not only was he late for the Blood Purge, but he was also this muddle-headed? What’s more, his strength was only at the fifth stage of the Cast Tripod Realm. Was he here to participate in the Blood Purge or here to be a joker?

“That side, fool!”

Su Ruoxue stomped her feet while pointing to the west. She was the one who advised Jiang Yunhai to bring Jiang Yi to the Blood Purge. This opportunity was given to Jiang Yi by her; hence, the reason why she spoke out to help earlier. But as she spoke out, the majority of the mentors thought Jiang Yi was related to her. Now that Jiang Yi appeared to be so silly, she lost all her face.

“En. Off I go then!”

Jiang Yi smirked and circulated his essence force to swiftly chase after his group. He didn’t make use of the black essence force, which was why his speed wasn’t fast enough to catch up to the rest. He looked like a dropped-out soldier trying to keep up with his battalion. Making all the mentors feel like it was an extremely funny scene.

Hmph! Jiang Yi, if you don’t pass this Blood Purge, then it is I, Su Ruoxue, who is blind this time!

Looking at the mockery from the other mentors, Su Ruoxue’s icy expression changed again. She glared at Jiang Yi before turning and heading back to the city.

“Alright! Except for those mentors on duty, everyone can go back to have a rest.”

That tall and sturdy mentor waved his hand again. Very quickly, ten mentors split into two teams and chased after the cadets that headed in the west and the east. The Blood Purge was bound to have some casualties, but with these mentors patrolling, the cadets would not dare to intentionally murder anyone.

...

“Hey brother, what do we need to do in this Blood Purge? What are the rules?” Jiang Yi caught up to the group quickly. He was currently with the group that got left behind and was sprinting alongside a youth who was at the fourth stage of the Cast Tripod Realm. He ran and asked with an apologetic smile on his face.

The reason why he was late today was indeed because of cultivation. Last night, he realized that he was about to break through to the fifth stage of the Cast Tripod Realm and naturally forgot about everything else while committing wholeheartedly to his cultivation. The end result was that—when he opened his eyes, he was already carried by Jiang Yunhai as they were sprinting towards the southern gate. Along the way, Jiang Yunhai didn’t have time to explain the rules, which was why he was completely clueless about the rules of the Blood Purge.

These youths took a look at Jiang Yi and continued to sprint without answering him. Jiang Yi wasn’t annoyed as he quickly caught up to the second last individual and asked apologetically, “This brother, could you explain to me the rules of the Blood Purge?”

“Get lost!”

Who knew that this individual suddenly glared and cursed? His eyes looked forward and snorted, “Don’t delay my time. If I am late, all the demonic beasts would already be slain. How will I enter the college if that happened?”

Jiang Yi embarrassedly rubbed his nose and suddenly thought of an idea. He took out a golden leaf and quietly passed it to the cadet and laughed, “This brother, do me a favor. Since we are already last, it won’t take up much time.”

“Hehe!”

That person’s eyes brightened as he received the golden leaf from Jiang Yi and started having a conversation. They followed behind the huge group along the way. Before they reached the foot of the mountain, Jiang Yi finally understood the rules of the Blood Purge. Most of the martial artists in the front had already entered the forest of the mountain range. They could roughly hear the sound of battles and roars of demonic beasts. The battles had already begun.

Seeing that Jiang Yi was about to rush ahead, he quickly pulled him back and whispered, “Hold on; since I took the golden leaf, let me give you a piece of advice. You have to be careful during this Mt. Spirit Beast Blood Purge. Not only of the demonic beasts but of the other participants! Or else, all those tokens that you painstakingly gathered would be easily snatched by others...”

“What?”

Jiang Yi frowned and asked in surprise, “Didn’t you say that there would be other mentors patrolling the area? Why would anyone dare to snatch the tokens?”

The youth laughed coldly. “Did you see how massive this Mt. Spirit Beast is? Even if one traversed at maximum speed, they would still need one or two days to patrol the whole western side of the mountain. Do you think such a massive mountain range can be entirely covered by five mentors? What’s more... the Mt. Spirit Beast Blood Purge has this unspoken rule of snatching tokens, and the mentors know it, too. As long as they don’t witness it in person or as long as there are no deaths, the mentors will not bother even if someone is crippled. The ability to snatch tokens from others is also a display of combat strength, right?”

“So that’s how it is... hehe. Alright, thanks, brother. I wish you good luck.” Jiang Yi smirked, not only did he not worry, but he also got excited instead.

It was actually possible to snatch? Then this Blood Purge no longer placed any pressure on him. If he wasn’t able to gather enough tokens in three days, then he would go snatching from others. He didn’t plan on snatching the tokens from righteous individuals; he would snatch the tokens from the person who snatched from others so there wouldn’t be any guilt.

Battle?

Except for those slightly troublesome prodigies who were at the first stage of the Purple Mansion Realm, why did he need to fear the other participants?
