Chapter 157: Beat Down (2/2)

In the growling whistling sound of the shield in Fatty’s hand, Ai Hui arched his back and rushed forward like a ghost to the student standing farthest from him, who was protected by three flames that kept circling around him.

Between the flames. Ai Hui stabbed at him with his Dragonspine Inferno, like a snake in the dark.

Just as the Dragonspine Inferno was about to get him, the flames suddenly exploded, and everything was shrouded in a dazzling light.

Ai Hui could see nothing but white light. In the midst of the student’s scream, he stepped forward, and with a powerful jerk of the Dragonspine Inferno, Ai Hui hit him as if the Dragonspine Inferno was a whip.

The student gave out a shrill cry and flew backward across the air.

The sudden flash temporarily blinded everyone, yet the gap in the strength of the two sides had already determined the result of the fight.

Fatty didn’t withdraw. In such a circumstance, the power of the shield was not influenced at all.

And when Ai Hui whipped the student with his Dragonspine Inferno, he had heard his scream, and at that moment, the whistle of the Ironwood Shield and the scream of the student revealed their location.

They were behind him!

Without any hesitation, Ai Hui stepped hard on the ground and jumped backward like a flying arrow.

The moment he felt his back touch something, he used [Arching Fish Back] boldly.

An overwhelming power passed from Ai Hui’s back to the one behind him.

Ping!

Something broke into pieces like glass, and he could feel the absence of any resistance. He then slammed into the other guy’s body.

Pang!

There was a muffled sound, and the guy was hit by a strong force—it was like hitting a beast running wildly towards him, and he was flung away. Ai Hui didn’t need to check to know that he had lost consciousness. The [Arching Fish Back] could create a significant dent in the walls of the Suspending Golden Pagoda, and Ai Hui was not sure if he himself could bear the entire force of the [Arching Fish Back] he just used without being injured.

Anyways, as long as Lou Lan was here, any injury could be healed. It would be alright as long as nobody was dead. As for possible revenge in the future, Ai Hui didn’t want to spare time to think about it.

He wasn’t even sure whether he could leave Central Pine City alive, so for the moment, he did not want to think about what would happen in the future.

Bang!

The deafening crash of metal was piercing to the ears.

Suddenly, Ai Hui felt sympathetic toward the student who confronted Fatty with his Ironwood Shield which was 175 kilograms.

As one of only two survivors out of two thousand people who escaped from the Wilderness, Fatty definitely had his own particular advantages.

He was timid and vigilant. As long as there were any signs of danger, he ran away faster than anyone else.

And the other advantage was his incredible strength—one could compare in anything with Fatty but strength. If it weren’t for his massive strength, how could he earn his living by helping others carry things, or how could he carry the unconscious Ai Hui on his back and keep running with the hunting group for days?

Fatty used to use the shield when they were in the Wilderness. This had been impressive to Ai Hui. It was a pity that Fatty was cowardly, or he could be a natural born shield bearer.

But whether he was a coward depended on who his enemy was. When faced with elementalists and wild beasts, Fatty was, of course, a coward. But it wouldn’t have been possible for him to escape the Wilderness if he didn’t even dare to fight against these students. There had been many battles in the Wilderness where they could not hide.

Ai Hui believed that Fatty was definitely not afraid of these guys. They were just prodigal kids, who only dared to bully the weak but fear the strong.

As he expected, Fatty became excited during the fight.

Bang—Bang—Bang!

The crashes became louder and louder.

By now, the white light had dispersed, and Ai Hui’s vision had returned to normal. He saw the last student staggering around like he was drunk.

He said peacefully, “Okay, Fatty, enough.”

The ruthlessness in Fatty’s eyes dimmed down. He had just been like a furious brown bear, but now, he laid down on the ground like a dead dog.

“Oh…this is so tiring. I can’t feel my arms. Ai Hui, I can’t move now. Let me have a rest.”

But, even at this time, he didn’t throw his shield away.

Seeing the dizzy student stumble involuntarily, Ai Hui acted as if he didn’t hear what Fatty said and asked Lou Lan, “Lou Lan, how many sets are left for Fatty?”

“Three hundred and twenty-two.” Lou Lan instantly returned a precise number.

Ai Hui said, “Guarantee that he finishes all the sets, or he cannot eat anything.”

“No problem, Ai Hui!” Lou Lan answered happily.

Fatty was so angry that he jumped up from the ground, “The one with the surname Ai! I just fought along with you, and now you are kicking down the ladder! I’m so disappointed. How can you…”

“We will have our meal in one hour.” Ai Hui reminded Fatty.

“You!” Fatty got so furious that when he noticed the staggering student nearby, he rushed forward and slapped him away with his shield to vent his rage. Then, he reluctantly turned back to practice in anger.

“Keep going, Fatty!” Lou Lan shouted.

Shi Xueman and Duanmu Huanghun stared blankly at the students lying on the ground in disarray.

There was dead silence; as Fatty wielded the shield, only the sound of the wind could be heard.
