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.770Please respect copyright.PENANApiCUOGMyTi
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.770Please respect copyright.PENANA2DOo893vIP
The Metallic Blood Giant Tower was just like a large sieve, separating the capable from the weak and leaving only the former.770Please respect copyright.PENANANaxddxYyW9
“Look, some students from the Metallic Blood War Gate made it to the third floor already!”770Please respect copyright.PENANAItRkXRLA2d
“Same for the Stars Unite Education Centre!”770Please respect copyright.PENANAHMMF5aoCAh
“There’s someone from Cloud Palace's outer sect… it’s Mung Si!”770Please respect copyright.PENANA9ppaLP9KK6
Thunderous cheers bombarded the arena as the audience was hypnotized by the competition.

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.770Please respect copyright.PENANAUwCpfm6MMm
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.770Please respect copyright.PENANA1Rk3jQ9ykA
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.770Please respect copyright.PENANAHUfx7Dsrky
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.770Please respect copyright.PENANA3BXmUvEZcu
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!”770Please respect copyright.PENANAeRdOZqrgpl
“We cannot let evil triumph, so take our blood intent and leave to the next floor, Senior Sister!”770Please respect copyright.PENANAehS4YRhMWb
As if they had discussed in advance, the determined girls exchanged a glance and gave up voluntarily!
“We give up!” 770Please respect copyright.PENANAolpSPdcae6
Whoosh…770Please respect copyright.PENANAOydjeqcG4J
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!770Please respect copyright.PENANAA60rAaIyjK
“Trying to escape, huh?” Fok Fung turned pale and went after Yip Luk Ching as fast as he could!770Please respect copyright.PENANAclt4EZ1Xqa
“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.770Please respect copyright.PENANAMBfZigzUvr
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!770Please respect copyright.PENANAri3TOQD7RY
The sight of the round-shaped door put a smile on Yip Luk Ching’s face. With that, she dived into it!770Please respect copyright.PENANASJ9b4dhnN2
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.”770Please respect copyright.PENANAUccXsnbUTe
Swish.770Please respect copyright.PENANA3WtboK4aYG
With that, she left and disappeared from the stairs.770Please respect copyright.PENANAUZZhBrw4Pb
Fok Fung wore an ugly expression and left… in the direction Siu Suet and her group went!
770Please respect copyright.PENANAjK272AbhB0
770Please respect copyright.PENANAkgKoU1OJ18
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.770Please respect copyright.PENANAfsNHMwKoIn
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.770Please respect copyright.PENANAi6Kt1NelrV
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.770Please respect copyright.PENANAhkxS6kcUNx
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. 770Please respect copyright.PENANAhwnl27KpUE
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. 770Please respect copyright.PENANAfZUFn00AHP
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. 770Please respect copyright.PENANAXYL4oFtmCj
“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. 770Please respect copyright.PENANANAl15Mw38I
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. 770Please respect copyright.PENANAyxWxjtaK3q

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.770Please respect copyright.PENANAfmMZAYti09
They didn’t go after others, but that didn’t mean that others wouldn’t come for them. 770Please respect copyright.PENANAEhi5wvICoq
“Amitabha…” 770Please respect copyright.PENANAKPlRQXEaPb
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. 770Please respect copyright.PENANASobPcX9mQr
They turned around to see a group of bald teenagers behind them, led by Yuen Yau.770Please respect copyright.PENANAANM7RNWWW3
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. 770Please respect copyright.PENANAh2TmxORDtE
“Spit out whatever nonsense you have to say!” 770Please respect copyright.PENANAC2MqFaHjBS
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…” 770Please respect copyright.PENANAfif0pLsqp8
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.” 770Please respect copyright.PENANADxNwxtinMw
