Chapter 8: The Unexpected

Yang Hao looked at Xiao Yue silently, with a lot of thoughts in his heart, and after a while, he slowly spoke: "The Lin family is huge, what can I do!"

Xiao Yue saw the helplessness on Yang Hao's face, the two were relatively speechless, and the silence in the mangrove forest was surprisingly quiet.

After a quarter of an hour, Yang Hao turned around and left the mangrove forest, he knew that Xiao Yue must not have had a good time during this time, but what could he do? Even though he had too many things to say to her in his heart, he didn't know where to start, since she had a marriage contract with Lin Yun, then don't bother her.

"Yang Hao, my marriage contract with Lin Yun will expire in three years, you ......"

Xiao Yue didn't continue, Yang Hao understood what Xiao Yue meant, no matter whether Xiao Yue wanted it or not, it was imperative for the Lin family and the Xiao family to marry. She wanted to give Yang Hao three years to improve herself, and three years is not a long time, but it is not a short time.

Yang Hao stopped, turned around slowly, and said, "You...... Take care!"

"Yang Hao, three-year appointment, I hope you don't let me down!!"

Yang Hao's figure disappeared into the mangrove forest, Xiao Yue stood quietly in the forest, and saw the back of Yang Hao leaving, a little lonely.

Back in the dormitory, everyone had already fallen asleep, Yang Hao couldn't calm down for a long time, thinking of the words of the black-robed man, he had to make him have some scruples, tomorrow's competition, he had no choice.

Putting away the feeling of loss, when the last candle in the room went out, Yang Hao fell asleep.

The next morning, the warm sunlight shone through the windows of the dormitory room, and everyone woke up.

"Yang Hao, today's competition is up to you!" Tang Xin said.

"Yes, our five brothers must teach Lin Yun a good lesson when you enter the final competition!" Tan Tao said with a smile on his face.

Yang Hao shook his head helplessly, silently, and then entered the martial arts arena, the huge martial arts arena was full of more than 1,000 people, at this time, Lin Yun walked into the martial arts arena surrounded by a group of Lin family children, when he passed Yang Hao, Lin Yun smiled and said: "Brother Yang, I hope to give me a lot of advice today!"

Yang Hao really didn't have a good impression of Lin Yun, and reluctantly smiled a little and said, "I don't dare to give advice, but I want Brother Lin to give me a few tricks!"

Behind Lin Yun, Lin Shan looked at Yang Hao and the others with disdain, and Liang Yun, Zhong Lin, Tang Xin, and Tan Tao looked at Lin Shan's expression, and really wanted to step forward and beat him up.

On the stands, the vice president of the college and several old men took their seats one after another, and at the suggestion of the vice president, a referee teacher came to the high platform, it was a middle-aged woman, it was Lan Ziyi, when her proud figure appeared on the high platform, there was a sudden commotion under the high platform, and countless eyes were focused on Lan Ziyi.

"Ahem......"

In the stands, the vice president's chilling gaze swept over the crowd below the high platform, and everyone felt a powerful coercion that made people breathless.

Yang Hao also felt the terrifying coercion, which made people tremble from the soul.

The crowd quieted down, the powerful coercion gradually dissipated, and the vice president motioned for Lan Ziyi's competition to begin.

"Today's competition, Lin Yun and Yang Hao will do the final showdown, I won't say much about the rules, remember, the point is up!"

After Lan Ziyi finished speaking, she motioned for Yang Hao and Lin Yun to come to the high platform, Lin Yun jumped onto the high platform, and Yang Hao walked up from the side of the high platform.

The eyes of everyone in the audience shifted to the two of them, all looking forward to the competition between the two most outstanding students in this class.

"The competition begins!"

Lan Ziyi gave an order, Lin Yun took the lead in attacking Yang Hao, Lin Yun had a big knife in his hand, and the sharp knife attacked Yang Hao, Yang Hao had no blade in his hand, and took Lin Yun's attack with his bare hands.

"Yang Hao, why don't you use a blade?

Lin Yun was a little annoyed, Lin Yun duel him with his bare hands, obviously not taking himself seriously.

"My hands are my blades, why do I need weapons!"

Yang Hao looked at Lin Yun coldly, after Lin Yun made a few fierce attacks, he threw the big knife back on the weapon rack, jumped up, and punched Yang Hao's head in mid-air, Yang Hao's body tilted at a forty-five degree angle to quickly dodge Lin Yun's blow.

As a result, Lin Yun kicked the ground with both feet, about a meter away from the ground, and quickly kicked his feet towards Lin Yun's chest, Yang Hao gathered seventy percent of his strength on his two arms, unloading Lin Yun's foot power.

Lin Yun's attack failed again, he had to use his own trick, gathering ninety percent of his strength on the fist, killing the fist, and a violent wind was generated on the high platform, Yang Hao felt the breath of danger, and immediately used the Martial Emperor's long fist, and the two fists faced each other, and after dozens of moves.

Everyone watching the battle under the high platform could see that they were all amazed by the martial arts skills used by the two.

"Lin Yun's killing fist moves are deadly, extremely ruthless, and Yang Hao's Martial Emperor Long Fist is also extremely strong, these two people can cultivate martial arts to this extent, it's very good!"

In the stands, the vice president smiled with satisfaction.

The competition between the two reached a fever pitch, Yang Hao's physical strength gradually ran out, Lin Yun was also out of breath, and just when everyone thought they were going to divide the winner, the vice president made a very surprising decision: the competition is over!

There is no winner in this game, or Yang Hao and Lin Yun are both winners!

The competition finally came to an end, and the loud voice of the vice president sounded in the martial arts arena.

"This competition aims to assess the martial arts cultivation of each student, and the students of this class are very good, especially a few highly talented students, very good! I hope everyone will work hard to cultivate and win glory for the college!"

At the end of the vice president's speech, everyone dispersed in the martial arts arena.

The result of this competition surprised everyone, Yang Hao and Lin Yun became the final winners, which was impossible to happen in the past, and it was really puzzling.

In any case, the purpose of the academy to assess each student's martial arts cultivation through a competition has been achieved, and as for the ranking, it is secondary.

At the end of the year, the students of the academy went home, except for the high-ranking martial artists.

Yang Hao and the other five left Wumeng Academy and returned to Luoxia Village, Tianyang Town.

The people of Luoxia Village are as busy as ever, most of the villagers have gone to hunt in the Nanping Mountains, Yang Hao returned home, his father Yang Zhong sat alone in the small courtyard, and his mother Li Shi was preparing a hearty lunch.

Seeing that his father and mother's faces were full of wrinkles, and a little gray hair appeared on the top of his head, Yang Hao felt a little guilty in his heart.

Yang Hao, father and son, sat in the small courtyard, eating delicious farm dishes and talking.

"Hao'er, how has your martial arts cultivation been in the past year?" Yang Zhong asked.

"Father, I'm at the level of an intermediate martial artist now!" Yang Hao said.

"Intermediate martial arts level? hehe...... I'm not mistaken, you do have talent in this area! But you have to remember that no matter how high a martial artist's cultivation is, he can't bully the weak, he must follow the right path!"

For his father's earnest teachings, Yang Hao remembered in his heart, even though this is a world where the strong are respected, he believes that justice will always exist in this world.

In the Nanping Mountains outside Luoxia Village, Yang Hao entered the depths of the mountains alone, if it was before, he would not dare to go deep into the mountains easily, so he could only hunt on the periphery of Nanping Mountain. However, now that he has reached the level of an intermediate martial artist, it is still more than enough for self-preservation.

In the cold winter season, the cold wind blows in from time to time, making people feel a shiver, although Yang Hao has reached the level of an intermediate martial artist, he is still shivering from the cold.

Despite this, the people of Luoxia Village still have to hunt in the mountains as always, so that they can have enough money to survive the cold winter.

Walking through the withered yellow forest, a path that can only be passed by one person extends deep into the mountains. On the path, there were many rocks, and the dry bones of countless beasts were scattered all over the path, and the blood stains of beasts that had long dried up emitted a disgusting fishy smell.

The narrow forest path gave people a terrifying and deep feeling, and Yang Hao didn't dare to be careless, so he cautiously made a defensive shape.

Judging from the withered bones of the thousands of beasts on the ground, there must be more ferocious beasts around this place, and their ferocity is unimaginable.

At this point, the sky begins to darken, which is a precursor to snowfall.

Sure enough, after a quarter of an hour, a little snowflake fell in the air, and as time went on, the snow became heavier and heavier.

Although the valley gives people a depressing feeling, but seeing the snow falling all over the sky, Yang Hao's heart is extremely excited, for him who has lived in Luoxia Village since he was a child, he can count how many times it has snowed, he can count it with both hands.

Suddenly, Yang Hao felt a little trembling under his feet, and after careful investigation, Yang Hao was sure that a fierce beast was approaching him.

As the distance got closer and closer, this trembling feeling became more and more intense, and as far as his eyes could see, a black shadow the size of a fist was running towards him quickly, although from a distance of hundreds of meters, Yang Hao could also feel a powerful coercion coming towards him.

Yang Hao's first reaction was to run away! Immediately, he unleashed his extremely fast body and rushed towards the other side of the trail.

Running out two or three hundred meters away, Yang Hao gradually felt physically exhausted, and the black shadow behind him was getting bigger and bigger, getting closer and closer to him, Yang Hao turned around suddenly, and the moment he saw the beast, he was shocked, it was a red-eyed green lion with a height of one foot and a length of five meters.

"I didn't expect such a huge beast to be in Nanping Mountain!" Yang Hao muttered to himself.

Yang Hao plunged into the woods, and the tall trees in the forest just provided him with cover.

Seeing Yang Haotao enter the forest, the red-eyed green lion rushed into the forest, and where the red-eyed green lion passed, rows of tall trees fell down with a bang.

Struggling to run out of the arbor forest, Yang Hao came to a small lake, which was only 100 meters in circumference and extremely clear.

From time to time, the sound of a giant tree falling to the ground and the deafening roar of a red-eyed green lion could be heard behind Yang Hao......
