Chapter 161 Strength

Wan Honglin frowned, looking at the arena. He knew about his son and several other cousins being defeated by Wan Lei and a mysterious person a few days ago.

However, he didn't tell Liu Dehuai because, in their eyes, Liu Dehuai was just a dog they kept and didn't need to know too much.

A disciple standing behind Wan Jin frowned at Wan Lei and whispered, "Brother Jin, Wan Lei's cultivation isn't enough to participate in the competition, right? Let's protest to the instructor and have him expelled."

"That's right, letting someone like that in is an insult to us."

Other disciples chimed in.

Wan Jin slapped the disciple on the head and sneered, "Idiot, isn't it a good thing he's here? I was worried about not having a chance to deal with him. Now we have a legitimate opportunity. You want to drive him out?"

"Yes, yes, yes, we were foolish. Brother Jin is insightful."

The disciple immediately flattered him shamelessly.

"Listen to me, when the fight starts, just target Wan Lei. Use all your spells on him, just don't kill him, understand?"

Wan Jin sneered.

"Understood, Brother Jin. We definitely won't let that trash walk out of here standing up today."

The disciples said.

Unlike Wan Jin's disciples, who were determined to cripple Wan Lei, Guan Zhan's disciples frowned as they watched Wan Lei approach.

"What's his cultivation? Why is he coming here?"

"Exactly, he's just here to cause trouble. It's fine if he gets beaten, but we'll have to save him, wasting manpower."

The disciples discussed among themselves. Guan Zhan frowned upon hearing this and coughed softly, causing the disciples to shut their mouths.

Guan Zhan looked at Wan Lei and said with a frown, "Young Master Lei, I know you can cultivate now, and I know you're doing this for the dean, but your cultivation is too weak. Go back. Leave this to us."

Guan Zhan's words were relatively polite, not directly telling Wan Lei to get lost.

"More people mean more strength. Don't worry, I won't hold you back," Wan Lei said with a smile, not minding the mockery in his words.

"If you get hurt here, how will I explain it to Uncle Xin? Forget it, once you're on the field, you can't go back down. Hide in the back and try not to get involved in the fight. I'll arrange for two people to protect you."

Guan Zhan casually pointed to two disciples at the eighth level of the Initial Force Realm and told them to protect Wan Lei.

The two disciples wore bitter expressions and glared at Wan Lei with reluctance.

"Alright, I announce the competition begins!"

After the instructor finished speaking, he flew away without looking back.

"Kill Wan Lei!"

Wan Jin roared and took the lead in charging toward his opponents.

The other disciples also swarmed forward.

Indeed, in Wan Lei's eyes, it was a swarm, a complete rabble.

No order, no formation, no battle groups, just roaring as they charged towards him.

"Prepare for battle!"

Guan Zhan shouted and took out his magical weapon from his storage bag. It was a long-handled saber that looked extremely heavy.

Wan Lei didn't forget Feng Silu's instructions, which were to show extreme strength from the start to win the support of the neutral faction.

After all, he was only one person, and it was impossible for him to defeat more than ninety strong individuals of the same level on his own.

Looking at the figures flying toward him, the greedy, bloodthirsty, and hateful gazes in their eyes, Wan Lei sneered and stared fixedly at Wan Jin.

He knew that as long as he took care of Wan Jin, the leader, the other side would become a scattered mess, which would be a fatal blow to their morale.

The first lightning rune on the Thunder God Hammer in his hand suddenly lit up. Immediately afterward, a thunderous roar erupted, and his figure disappeared from the spot.

When he reappeared, he was already behind Wan Jin.

Wan Lei used the spell brought to him by the first lightning rune—Thunder Escape!

Wan Jin was leading his men to charge towards the enemy when he suddenly noticed that the target he had been staring at had disappeared.

Before he could react, he felt a powerful pressure rapidly approaching from the back of his head.

Not good!

Without thinking, Wan Jin swung his sword behind him.

Clang!

A metallic clang rang out, and then Wan Jin felt as if he had been hit head-on by a large mountain. He cried out miserably and fell straight down.

"What happened?"

"It's Wan Lei!"

"How did he get here?"

"Attack!"

The disciples of the vice-dean's faction shouted in panic and attacked Wan Lei.

Wan Lei sneered. A rumble of thunder sounded, and he disappeared into the air again.

Upon seeing this, Wan Jin's hair stood on end. He was so frightened that his soul almost left his body. That was how Wan Lei had suddenly disappeared before his eyes, then appeared behind him. How could he not remember?

Terrified, Wan Jin slapped his chest, and a golden triangular shield appeared in his hand.

He immediately stood up and held the shield in front of him, while Wan Lei's figure appeared before his eyes.

Boom!

After a loud crash, Wan Jin slid back several steps and spat out a mouthful of blood. Fortunately, his shield was intact, giving him the confidence to withstand Wan Lei.

"Wan Lei, how did your cultivation suddenly become so strong?!"

Wan Jin asked, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth.

Wan Lei sneered and immediately raised his hammer to attack Wan Jin.

Of course, he couldn't waste time talking to his enemies on the battlefield.

Wan Lei smashed the hammer onto Wan Jin's shield again, and Wan Jin retreated again, unable to withstand the force.

The two became entangled in a fight, and the scene stunned everyone.

"How is that possible? Wan Lei is so strong? He's actually suppressing Wan Jin?"

"Wasn't Wan Lei a piece of trash? How? How is he stronger than me?"

"He must be cheating. Wan Jin is a veteran expert, one of the best below the Foundation Establishment stage. Wan Lei must have used some secret technique!"

"No, I suspect Wan Lei was hiding his strength before. He wanted to amaze everyone in this competition. Damn it, we were wrong about Wan Lei before."

The disciples discussed among themselves, some with envy, some with jealousy, but most were surprised and unable to accept the fact that this notorious trash had suddenly become so strong.

Those watching the battle from the pavilion, except for Wan Hongxin, were all shocked. They had not expected Wan Lei to be so fierce.

Even Wan Honglin had not expected that a few days ago, Wan Lei and a mysterious person at the peak of the ninth level of the Initial Force Realm had to join forces to defeat Wan Jin. Now, he could easily crush Wan Jin on his own.

Liu Dehuai's expression changed constantly. He snorted coldly and said, "What if he's strong alone? Does he think he can defeat all the disciples on his own? We have more than ninety people here."
