The injuries of the nine competitors were not within Xie Tian's expectations.
He had long considered himself merely a runner-up, and coupled with the ancient scriptures that he couldn't comprehend, which six others had understood successfully in succession, his urge to kill had erupted not only out of frustration but also from a spiteful mentality that if he couldn't have it his way, no one else could either.
But what he hadn't anticipated was that the murderous intent, openly displayed by the nine, was their full effort; so, when he made his move and unleashed his killing intent in full force, the nine couldn't resist at all and were immediately injured.
Thus, it was a pleasant surprise because he had never thought that he could pass the second trial simply with his killing intent.
