Chapter 121: Armor-Piercing Awl



Su Chen grabbed the person who had injured him and pulled away the head covering, only to find himself face-to-face with a youth he had never seen before . He should be a student from the Hidden Dragon Institute, but Su Chen didn’t recognize him .

A thought surfaced in Su Chen’s heart . He grabbed the assassin’s arm and saw an imprint on the back of his hand . Understanding dawned on Su Chen: “He was commissioned to assassinate me?”

That student stared at Su Chen with fear . “I……”

Su Chen cut him off . “You don’t need to tell me who entrusted you with this task . I have no desire to know . ”

He grabbed the student and the black cat and returned to the Origin Tower .

When Su Chen entered the Origin Energy Tower, Iron Cliff came to greet him . He glanced at the cat and the person in Su Chen’s hands and asked, “Who is this?”

“A new research subject,” Su Chen replied .

Upon hearing this, Iron Cliff cracked a smile .

The previous research subject, Hong Ming, hadn’t lasted for long . He had died after three years . After that, Su Chen didn’t have anyone to test his skills on . Even though Su Chen could have bought many slaves, he continued to follow his principle of only making those who had attempted to kill him his research subjects . This could be considered his bottom line .

Unfortunately, in the past few years, not many people had come looking for trouble, so he hadn’t found an appropriate research subject .

Today, someone had finally emerged . Both Su Chen and Iron Cliff felt immediate happiness .



The experiments that had been put on hold could finally resume .

The assassin didn’t know what kind of fate was awaiting him . He was still hoping that Su Chen would show mercy on him .

Unfortunately, Su Chen wasn’t interested in who had instigated the assassination attempt and didn’t care about the price on his head – all Su Chen needed was another physical body .

He didn’t even want to know what the assassin’s name was .

After carrying the assassin back into his research station and forcing him to drink a large vial of medicine, Su Chen tossed him into a pit filled with black mud and returned to his room .

He then pulled out a vial of jade-green medicine and took a small sip . His originally pale skin began to flush with color again .

“Master used Armor-Piercing Awl?” Iron Cliff asked upon seeing Su Chen’s complexion .

Armor-Piercing Awl was the Origin Skill that Ma Renze had used before .

It was incredibly strong for an Origin Skill that didn’t require a bloodline . It could penetrate fleshly defenses and was also quite effective against heavy armor, which was why it was named Armor-Piercing Awl .

This Origin Skill should only have been able to be cultivated after the Yang Opening Realm, and the skill’s energy consumption was enormous . However, Su Chen broke through that restriction, allowing him to use it even at the Qi Drawing Realm .

Su Chen’s biggest deficiency was that he had no bloodline . As a result, the power of his Origin Skills was extremely limited .



Even though he had developed the Erupting Firehawk, its strength only put him equal with merely a few members from the Bloodline Nobility Clans . If he wanted to really surpass an expert, that would still be difficult for him .

If Su Chen wanted to break through the bloodline restrictions, he absolutely needed to make a breakthrough at the Origin Skill level as well . He needed a killing technique that he could call his own rather than simply winning by using various combinations of Origin Skills . Thus, during these past few years, he had been trying to lower the requirements for Armor-Piercing Awl’s use .

In the end, he actually succeeded .

If the Erupting Firehawk was compared to the strength of a bear, the Erupting Firebird was roughly equivalent to the strength of 12 bears; the strengthened Erupting Firebird, 18 bears; the Erupting Firehawk, 26 bears; and the strengthened Erupting Firehawk, 36 bears . Armor-Piercing Awl could reach the strength of 72 bears, double that of the strengthened Firehawk . When factoring in its penetrating ability, it really was a frighteningly powerful technique . If that wasn’t the case, there would have been no way for him to have been strong enough to destroy an Origin Tool in a single blow .

But the price he paid was the heavy burden be placed on his physical body every time he used Armor-Piercing Awl .

In fact, Su Chen activated this Origin Skill by expending his life force .

Thankfully, as long as he didn’t use it too much, he could recover simply by drinking Vitality Medicine .

“Mmm, that guy was not very strong, but he set up quite a good trap . My moment of overconfidence almost caused me to fall right into it . Setting up traps for others is quite fun, but being set up is not fun at all . Right, how did Cloud Leopard do today?”

Iron Cliff shook his head . “He won four battles and lost five, so his ranking sits at 37th place . He is currently sulking in his room . ”

“Give me the current ranking list .

Iron Cliff handed a piece of paper to Su Chen .



As he scanned the names, familiar faces popped into Su Chen’s head .

After a long time, he said, “It seems like that’s all we can do now……”

On the morning of the seventh day, the end-of-year competition resumed .

Just like before, Su Chen challenged the 40th ranked student . After easily defeating him, he did not challenge the 30th ranked student; rather, he challenged the 34th ranked student .

That person’s name was Long Huan, and he was one of the students who had defeated Cloud Leopard yesterday .

As Su Chen stepped on the stage, he didn’t waste any words . He directly launched a strengthened Erupting Firehawk .

After making many improvements to it throughout the years, his strengthened Erupting Firehawk no longer required a Flame Crystal to activate anymore .

The massive Firehawk surged forwards . When faced with this powerful attack, Long Huan was forced to treat it seriously . The blade in his hand sliced through the air, slamming into Su Chen’s Erupting Firehawk and releasing a brilliant light .

Anyone who could enter the top 40 were all true Heaven’s Chosen . Their instinct, strength, and battle experience were all far superior to their classmates’ .

Thus, Long Huan was not particularly weak . His moves were stable, and every blade strike caused the surrounding wind to churn, giving him an incredibly forceful aura . Even though he was just a Qi Drawing Realm cultivator, his movements gave him quite the imposing manner .

Unfortunately, his opponent was Su Chen . When faced with this calm, steady style, Su Chen sighed, “I apologize . ”

An instant later, one Erupting Firehawk after another began emerging from Su Chen’s hands .

“This is……” Shock appeared in Long Huan’s eyes .

He had expended quite a bit of energy earlier just to block a single Firehawk . Now, Su Chen was sending out a steady stream of Erupting Firehawks .

Although these Firehawks were not the strengthened variant, there was no way he could resist them all .

In just a brief moment, numerous Firehawks had appeared in Su Chen’s hand, and even more continued to charge forward .

Long Huan knew the situation was not good . He couldn’t let Su Chen continue to form so many Erupting Firehawks . His blade moved through the air, sending a wild, untamed wave of energy at Su Chen .

Warriors should always be advancing when battling mages .

Even so, at the same time he struck, Su Chen’s eyes flashed with light . As if something were restraining his movements, Long Huan paused for just a moment . In that instant, Su Chen waved his arm . “Go! Hawk Flock, attack!”

Whoosh! A large group of Firehawks swooped forward simultaneously, swallowing Long Huan up .

The massive momentum of the combined attack sent Long Huan flying .

As he passed out, a thought appeared in Long Huan’s mind: What a terrifying attack . Things are going to get complicated now .
