Chapter 138 The spectacle begins (2/2)
“Your strength’s very commendable. Try another punch from me!”
Rykiel smiled faintly. His figure moved and sent another punch at Ayrin. A thick magenta radiance gushed out of his fist, transforming into the shape of a bull’s horn.
“Pa!”
His arms crossed in front of him, Ayrin retreated more than ten steps under the impact, then heavily fell down on the ground.
“That’s the extent of your level?”
“Almost every arcane master in Mountain Kings Academy can gasp this Raging Bull Punch, but you can’t even block it?”
“A team like that is actually claiming about winning the trophy?”
Amidst thunderous laughter, members of team Holy Dawn all looked at each other.
“Against me, this guy’s speed and reaction were at least one time faster. What on earth is he trying to do now with his playacting?”
“Again!”
Ayrin leaped up from the ground, steadying himself shakily. His face brimmed with his determination for battle. “At least, I can make you waste some energy.”
“What, did you really qualify for the nationals by withstanding thrashings until they don’t have any energy left from beating you up?” At the edge of the field, team Mountain Kings was madly amused. Captain Werther laughed so hard he couldn’t stop himself from shouting his belly hurt and telling his teammates to help him rub his belly.
“Haha, hit this guy until he pukes all the fruits he ate.”
Rykiel fixated Ayrin’s belly with his gaze. “Raging Bull Punch!” After a shout, he charged in Ayrin’s direction exactly the same way as he previously did.
Ayrin didn’t move away at all, as if he only had time to lift his hands and protect his face.
“What!”
All of a sudden, already five or six meters away from Ayrin, Rykiel suddenly felt something wrong.
With a “Puff,” a snow-white skeleton claw suddenly rose from the ground and grabbed his leg.
“Ah!”
Rykiel’s expression stiffened all of a sudden, a bit spooked out of his mind. His leg immediately felt numb. He couldn’t push his arcane particles out of his foot in time.
“Boom!”
Just then, a dark green fountain spurted from the ground and flushed on him.
A mighty force washed over him, causing him to yell miserably. His body ached as if it were split open, while the fountain flushed him more than a dozen meters in the air.
“What on earth is this arcane skill!”
“Why didn’t I feel it at all! My body…”
What made Rykiel even more inconsolable and appalled was, he felt his body become slow and sluggish for some inexplicable reason. It seemed to move in slow motion.
At the same time, Ayrin charged underneath him and jumped upward.
Rykiel seemed to be in a daze while Ayrin’s fist became bigger and bigger in his vision, before landing on him.
“Pa!”
“Pa!”
“Pa!”…
The sounds of a series of continuous, explosive strikes boomed in the air.
Everyone in the stands watched on with wide eyes, utterly dumbstruck. They saw Ayrin’s punches battering Rykiel like a torrential storm, while Rykiel’s body become more and more distorted while it cycled between being smashed on the ground and hit back into the air.
Everyone in team Mountain Kings was entirely still.
A chill welled up from the bottom of their hearts.
“What’s going on!”
“Why did he get hit by two skills in succession?” After a frozen instant, the stands erupted in a tsunami of shocked cries.
Even all the members of Dragon Breath Academy looked on in a daze.
“It’s Fountain of Slowness and Touch of Bones.” Captain Morgan was the first one to come back to himself. He said, frowning, “They’re both sneak skills with very little arcane particle undulation. Also, these two skills are arcane skills that can be launched with a delay. This Ayrin from Holy Dawn Academy, he secretly launched these two skills when he got hit by Raging Bull Punch the first time, while he was falling back. As a result, Rykiel fell for it and suffered from the trap he laid.”
“How treacherous!”
Audrey was also staring blankly. “This Ayrin, he looked like he doesn’t understand anything, but he unexpectedly turns out to be so treacherous.”
“Rykiel might well even have the urge to kill himself right now. Apart from his outstanding strength, he’s really the most well-rounded in team Mountain Kings after Werther. It’s hard to tell how much progress he made from last year to now. But just now, he didn’t even have the time to show any strength skill before his opponent’s surprise attack directly defeated him.” Cuswoth, the one with the high-level elven bloodline in the team, shook his head. He said a few words in a soft voice, then his expression turned somewhat solemn again. “This Ayrin is a bit strange… Because neither Fountain of Slowness and Touch of Bones are easy to grasp, and they’re also two entirely different skills when it comes to their arcane energies and styles. Ordinary persons would have no hope at all to master these two arcane skills at the same time.”
“Violent Bear Rykiel… The second best in team Mountain Kings directly lost just like that?”
The vast majority of spectators in the stands all had trouble believing it could be true.
Yet everyone could clearly see that even Rykiel’s face was now distorted under Ayrin’s wild assault. He didn’t even have the opportunity to shout his surrender or gesture that he admitted defeat.
“The fight is over!”
Seeing Rykiel beaten up until even his parents probably wouldn’t recognize him, Kleis declared Ayrin the winner.
