Early the next morning, there was a chaotic noise downstairs, waking Jiang Hao and Lu Ming up.

There was a knock on the door.

Jiang Hao got up, opened the door, and saw that it was the Pelagio brothers and sisters, "What's the matter, why is it so messy."

"Don't sleep, something happened," Xiaoya said.

"What's the matter" Jiang Hao heard that something was wrong and immediately came to his senses.

"Someone is dead in the back mountain," Perlagio said.

"Who died," Jiang Hao asked.

"It's not who died, we don't know each other, but it's a strange death, let's go and see," Xiaoya said.

"Wait, come right away" Jiang Hao closed the door and called Lu Ming up again.

The four of them came to the back mountain, there were already a lot of people here, and some of the academy's guards surrounded the scene and did not let them get close, Jiang Hao and the four of them stood on the edge and looked inside.

There were five people in total, all wearing the uniforms of the Elite Academy, and through the exposed skin, it was found that all five of them were shriveled, as if they had been sucked flesh by something, and their eyes were scorched, leaving only two black holes. All five had their mouths wide open, and they were all howling loudly in pain when they apparently died.

The dean and elders arrived, the crowd moved out of the way, and four old men walked in.

"Death Sacrifice ......" An elder exclaimed in surprise when he saw the death of the five people.

Jiang Hao was also confused, "What is the sacrifice of death," Jiang Hao asked.

"Go," said Pelagio, taking the crowd aside and saying to no one. "It's dangerous here, we have to be careful."

"What's wrong?" asked Lu Ming.

"I heard the elder talk about the sacrifice of death, so you should have heard it," Pelagio said.

Everyone nodded, "Do you know what the death sacrifice is" Jiang Hao asked.

"Yes, I stumbled upon it in a book once, which was about dark magicians," Pelagio said. "The book says that dark mages cultivate the power of the soul, and in order to quickly improve the power of the soul, the dark mage will slaughter all creatures with souls, absorb their souls for their own use, or store them, and the way they absorb souls is called death sacrifice."

"Then there is a dark mage hidden in the academy," Jiang Hao said.

"Yes, it should be, to kill people in the Academy, this dark mage must be hidden in the Academy," Pelagio said.

"It's a dark mage again," Jiang Hao said.

Last time in Onuga City, a dragon appeared on the mountain behind the academy, and it was done by dark magic, and this time it was again, and it is estimated that Heine Town is also that time.

Soon people from the Holy See came to investigate the scene, the Holy See had been hunting down dark mages for centuries, and although there were still remnants, there had been no one who dared to kill people in the town in the last few hundred years.

Jiang Hao and the four of them returned to the dormitory, and happened to meet the teacher who led the team, and the teacher told the four of them not to go out at night and not to go to places with few people, so as not to cause accidents.

On the second day, all the houses have arrived, and they have already begun to prepare for the competition, a total of eight houses, the competition is divided into four days, the first day is one star, the second day is two stars, and so on, each house, each level can only send a maximum of five people to participate in the competition, that is, only forty people from each level participate.

In addition, the top five prizes are also generous, with 10,000 gold coins for the first place, 8,000 gold for the second place, 6,000 gold for the third place, 4,000 gold for the fourth place, and 2,000 gold for the fifth place.

Jiang Hao looked at the bonus, if he won the first place, he would have weapons to buy equipment.

The next day, the one-star level competition officially began.

Jiang Hao was a little worried about Xiaoya, and repeatedly emphasized that he should be careful of Guo Haiyang, Fu Peng, and Zhao Yiming of Xiusi Academy.

These forty people are the elites of various academies, and their strength is also extremely strong, Xiao Ya's first encounter was a magician, which was very difficult, Xiao Ya exhausted her tricks, and finally reluctantly knocked the other party out of the ring.

Bump, a sound came, the arena next to it, there was a muffled sound, it turned out that the arena next to it was also playing at the same time, it was Fu Peng against a warrior with a shield, Fu Peng was using a sledgehammer, at the beginning of the game, Fu Peng rushed to the opponent with a sledgehammer, and with a bang, the opponent was smashed off the ring with a shield.

The warrior with the shield fell to the ground and vomited blood, and it seemed that he had been seriously injured.

Fu Peng stood in the ring, sneered at Jiang Hao and Lu Ming, and walked out of the ring.

Jiang Hao felt bad, he still underestimated these three people, the next Xiaoya was going to fight against Fu Peng, Jiang Hao decided that if there was danger, he must save Xiaoya.

"The player is in place," the referee shouted, and Xiao Ya and Fu Peng walked into the ring respectively.

Jiang Hao began to pay nervous attention to the ring, "start" As the referee announced the start of the game, Fu Peng rushed with a sledgehammer, and when he got closer, it was a hammer, touch, Xiaoya dodged, and Fu Peng smashed the ring out of a big hole.

After Xiao Ya dodged, he hit the power of the elements, a stab at Fu Peng's head, and a wave of elemental power flew out, shooting towards Fu Peng like an air arrow, well, Fu Peng's neck was crooked, dodging away, Fu Peng raised the hammer and smashed it, the power of thunder and lightning permeated the surface of the sledgehammer, boom, smashed to Xiao Ya, Xiao Ya's body was flexible, and she dodged again, and the sledgehammer smashed to the ground, but after the power of thunder and lightning hit the ground, it shot everywhere and also hit Xiao Ya, making Xiao Ya's body stiff.

Fu Peng picked up the sledgehammer and swept it towards Xiaoya, Jiang Hao stood up awkwardly, if he was swept by this hammer, he would be seriously injured if he didn't die.

At the critical moment, Xiao Ya resumed her action and immediately dodged backwards, whew, the sledgehammer swept against Xiao Ya's clothes, and the hammer missed, Fu Peng turned the sledgehammer three hundred and sixty degrees, and swept it again, Xiao Ya still dodged backwards, whirring, Fu Peng wheeled the sledgehammer like a windmill, and also exerted the power of the earth element, like a black tornado, rolling towards Xiao Ya.

Xiao Ya tried to fight back, but every sword was bounced off, retreating again and again, and it was already on the edge of the ring, Fu Peng's tornado was approaching, and he was about to hit Xiao Ya, and some of the audience had already closed their eyes, knowing that if they were hit, they would be miserable.

Bump, a sound sounded, Xiao Ya found Jiang Hao standing in front of him, it turned out that Jiang Hao knew that if Xiao Ya was hit, he would definitely be seriously injured, seeing Xiao Ya's danger, he immediately stood very in the ring and blocked Fu Peng, Fu Peng also didn't expect that his trick would be blocked.

Ah, Jiang Hao pushed Fu Peng away.

"What are you doing, disrupting the rules of the game," Fu Peng said.

"We admit defeat this time," Jiang Hao said to the referee, leading Xia Ya out of the ring, completely ignoring Fu Peng's ruthless eyes.

Back in the player area, Jiang Hao looked at his hands, when he was holding Fu Peng's sledgehammer just now, Jiang Hao also felt a huge force coming, and his hands were also numb, Jiang Hao didn't expect Fu Peng's one-star student level to have such a strong strength.
