Chapter 99: Demon Sealing Needles
“He actually won in a frontal contest of strength!”
“That full-bearded Holy Dawn teacher is ‘Barbarian Knight-Errant’ Minlur?”
“Is it that brute force arcane master who can shred huge monsters with his bare hands, the one who pursues the road to ultimate strength?”
“What’s the relationship between Ayrin and him?”
A clamor rose in the stands, but even more people subconsciously covered their own mouths, unable to make a sound for a long long time.
Sunlight sprinkled on Minlur and Ayrin’s figures, one big and one small, painting a strange picture of hot-bloodness in harmony.
Many people replayed again and again Ayrin’s incomparably resolute and explosive punch in their minds. This was a scene that many people would probably never forget their entire lives.
“So explosive, so vigorous. I think I’m falling in love with him already,” a girl couldn’t stop herself from whispering, there in Agate Lake Academy’s stands.
“You bimbo! There are many with also formidable strength in the nationals, are you going to fall in love every time you see one?” Several people around immediate scolded her. “Do you want to be a tramp?”
“But these guys are each bulkier than the next, they don’t look at all as cute as him.”
“Then better think of a way to beat Charlotte first.”
…
“Holy Body Ignition…” While the Agate Lake girls fooled around, an exceptionally eerie cold expression flashed in Rinsyi’s eyes in his corner of the stands.
“A freshman with a single open gate has this kind of strength already. It seems your bloodline is very special. In that case, it seems I really have to turn you into a cripple if we ever meet in the tournament field. Kid, you must still be unaware of the cruelty of the arcane masters’ world.”
“It’s Barbarian Knight-Errant Minlur’s ‘Holy Body Ignition?’” Wilde turned around and looked at Ferguillo.
“There’s no trick to it. Any arcane masters can learn can learn ‘Holy Body Ignition,’ as long as they have stamina reserves far above ordinary levels, and the courage to challenge the edge of death.” Ferguillo nodded and said, his tone still indifferent, “But a mere beginner-level arcane master with one open gate can already overwhelm Lambert so thoroughly using this secret skill’s explosiveness, this can only mean that his physical strength is at the level of dragon bloodlines. He will certainly still have enough strength for the next fight. Also, since he managed to hide this method of his in the previous fight, you absolutely can’t lower your guard in the next fight. It’s very possible he still has another hidden ace up his sleeves.”
“Got it.”
Wilde breathed in deeply and nodded, about to go on stage.
“Don’t think too much.”
Just at this time, Ferguillo suddenly added, “Don’t go thinking that he’s a mere freshman and that you’re going to help me handle the rest of them after you deal with him. The only thing you need to think about is that it’s your victory as long as you can defeat him. Even Ivan lost to him, you can regard him as an opponent at Chris’ level.”
Wilde’s steps paused for a slight moment. He didn’t turn his head back, merely nodded in silence, then kept walked forward to the center of the field.
…
“It’s indeed ‘Blue Wasp’ Wilde. In another school, he would be a commander-level figure!”
“Iron Forest Academy only has Wilde and Ferguillo left now before we even realized it.”
“Holy Dawn Academy seems like it suddenly became fearsome this year.”
“What Blue Wasp Wilde, isn’t he just a deputy who lost at my hands.” Stingham harrumphed when he heard the discussions in the stands around him. “That said, it seems Ayrin was pretty right, it’s better for me to stay low-key against a team of this level. When I meet an extraordinarily powerful team and suddenly display my amazing skills, that’s when countless girls will start worshiping me.”
“Haha!” Stingham sank into who knew what new delusion after mumbling a couple sentences to himself. He put his hands on his waist and guffawed out loud.
But then he instantly felt something wrong again and immediately shrank his body back. He glanced left and right: “Low-profile, keep a low-profile. I can’t attract attention to me before amazing the world with a sudden demonstration of my awesomeness.”
“…” An evil shiver suddenly ran through the members of team Holy Dawn around him.
“Stingham,” Carter suddenly said at this time.
Stingham raised his head and looked at Carter in front of him. “What?”
“Don’t look down on Wilde.” Carter smiled faintly at him. “He’s not as bad as you think. You have to understand something. Usually, for arcane masters ambitious about their future, they definitely won’t expose their real level or use their most powerful arcane skills in an ordinary battle in peaceful times.”
“What do you mean?” Stingham blinked, then understood immediately. “You’re saying that he let me win on purpose the last time he fought against me? He didn’t go all out?
“How’s that possible! I trounced him so badly that time!”
He immediately waved his hands, fiercely shaking his head at the same time. “How’s that possible. Following your logic, doesn’t that mean that Ferguillo was also hiding his strength when he fought with me?”
Carter smiled and didn’t say anything.
Belo adjusted his glasses and chuckled coldly. “Even an idiot can tell that that’s what teacher Carter meant.”
“What are you saying, I’m even worse than an idiot?!”
When Belo talked, he often had an arrogant and impulsive expression that seemed to itch for a brawl. The slow-on-the-uptake Ayrin basically turned a blind eye to these expressions of his, but last time even Moss couldn’t endure Belo’s look, to say nothing about Stingham right now. He immediately started cursing, “You wanna die?”
“Remember what Ayrin said,” Chris reminded him on the side.
