Chapter 66: The meeting before the match

Inside the quiet, secret training field of Holy Dawn Academy, a burst of rapid, oppressive sounds suddenly exploded out.

This sound seemed just like someone striking a wooden pile without cease, at an extremely astounding speed.

However, in the clearing inside the forest where this sound actually originated from, thirteen huge wooden piles stood, tightly wrapped in ropes. These thirteen huge wooden piles all tightly leaned against each other, just like thirteen soldiers sticking tightly together, the row of them forming a wall.

Ayrin stood on one end of this wall.

The strength of his body gave off the feeling of an explosion with every punch he struck, while the thirteen wooden piles rumbled loudly at the same time.

Compared to ten days ago when Ayrin first perfected his use of the “Crown of Ice and Snow”, even Ayrin himself could perceive the growth in power inside every tiny molecule in his body.

His explosiveness was even more under the control of his will.

Back then, when he struck these thirteen wooden pile with all his explosiveness, his strength could only penetrate to the ninth wooden pile at most, but now, he could already instantly cause formidable vibrations in the thirteen wooden piles all at the same time.

The one arcane skill Carter taught him, the “Crown of Ice and Snow,” was an arcane skill that first burst out with the power of arcane particles, then superimposed it with physical strength. He had no idea what level the secret skills “Evil Flaming Eye” and “Crown of Ice and Snow” that Ciaran and Carter taught him were at, but he could clearly feel that Evil Flaming Eye’s advantage lay in disturbing the opponent’s neurons and making them hallucinate, whereas “Crown of Ice and Snow” was an arcane skill that pursued pure violent destructiveness. It was stronger when it came to pure power!

That was why, teacher Carter might always look like an amiable person who never offended anyone, but he still was an elite teacher, he really had some skill to show for it!

Ayrin was full of spirit.

“Oh damn!”

He shouted loudly all of a sudden, and ran in a panic out of the secret training field.

Tomorrow was already the day of the official match of the Hegemonic Cup of Starry Skies Braves!

Carter told him when he finished his training last night that today, he had to head over to the body training complex number three, and attend the school team’s pre-match meeting. He’d been secretly training here all along before that, so this meeting was the first time he officially meet face to face with the other members of the team. On top of that, Carter was also going to explain some characteristics about the members of team Divine Shield and provide the final pre-match coaching!

But Ayrin was already used to always coming here for his training. After waking up early in the morning, he actually forgot about this matter, and directly came here. The teacher in charge of this secret training field should also be ignorant of Carter’s plans, and he’d let him enter after registering his name just as usual, without offering any reminder.

When he remembered about it, it was already close to the time Carter set for the meeting, and the most important thing was, he promised Carter not to reveal any strength before entering the tournament field. He simply couldn’t run fast inside the academy!

So he could only hurry to the body training complex in an awkward half-running half-walking motion.

…

“Why isn’t Ayrin here yet?”

Carter held a small notebook and frowned inside the body training complex number three where many tools dedicated to training where piled.

Other than Ayrin, the other members of the school team had all arrived a long time ago already.

“The time is past already, why don’t we start first?” The tall and sturdy Gerrin probed a question.

He was the oldest one in the entire Holy Dawn team, and the one who’d participated in the greatest number of matches. The teachers in charge of the team before had always paid a lot of attention to the team’s discipline and the notion of time. This was the reason why he said these words, and he also noticed that Ender, Skol, and the other old team members were already subconsciously exposing looks of dissatisfaction.

“Let’s wait a little more.” Carter glanced at the closed doors and said without hesitation, “He wouldn’t be late without good reason.”

“He’s not strict at all.”

“So easy-going… Can he really lead us to victory?”

“Ayrin’s natural talent seems very astonishing, but he’s after all a freshman who can’t condense arcane particles yet, why does it look like he’s putting special emphasis on him?”

Several old members of the team didn’t manifest any objection, but an unhappy feeling unconsciously arose in their hearts.

Time passed by minute by minute, second by second.

The five minutes Carter talked about were soon about to expire when all of a sudden, bang! Someone firmly pushed open the metal doors of the body training complex. Ayrin’s gloomy face appeared in everyone’s line of sight. When he noticed Carter and the other team members in a corner of this building, Ayrin shouted, “Sorry, teacher Carter, I ran off to train again, I forgot when I woke up this morning…”

“Don’t forget something like this in the future! We’d be truly done for if you missed the actual match!”

Carter sternly interrupted Ayrin’s words. “Close the door, come here.”
