Chapter 139: Winning back to back!

“He directly lost just like that?”

“Violent Bear Rykiel, his loss is too depressing.”

“So treacherous. I get it! It’s definitely Holy Dawn Academy’s overall strategy. They let their first contestant get beaten up and used him as a sacrifice to lower their opponent’s guard, and then cleanly beat their opponent with a surprise attack. It’s definitely a method their leader Carter came up with!”

“They directly traded an ordinary teammate for the one ranked second in strength among their opponents, that’s an amazing deal.”

The stands were in an uproar. Most of the spectators were swearing at team Holy Dawn for being really too treacherous.

However, a small minority saw Ayrin’s performance in an entirely different light.

“Evil Flaming Eye, Crown of Ice and Snow, added to Fountain of Slowness and Touch of Bones. In such a short amount of time, he already learned so many entirely different skills.” Ivan breathed in deeply, talking to himself. “I lost to you and sent you off to the national tournament, it seems it was well really well deserved.”

“Really the most unpredictable guy. That said, this kind of progress, isn’t it a bit too fast?” A few people from Iron Forest Academy were also struck dumb.

Ferguillo turned around and glanced at Charlotte. He faintly said, “That probably isn’t everything he’s got, right?”

“How would I know!” Charlotte immediately shouted, depressed.

“Too despicable. He actually used this kind of method!”

Seeing Rykiel beaten up until his eyes and nose and ears were all scrunched up together, seeing he couldn’t even utter a word, the members of team Mountain Kings were bursting their lungs with rage.

“His strength’s pretty good, he’s pretty proficient with his arcane skills as well. But from the intensity of his arcane power, he’s merely an arcane master with one open gate. Also, his speed and his dodging are very ordinary. Kunrin, you can just use your usual tactics. Remember, don’t underestimate the enemy, treat him exactly like an opponent at the same level.”

The teacher in charge of team Mountain Kings, Bolton, also had a gloomy face. He said a few words, then nodded at the stands. “You guys should understand how many people would mock you if you carelessly lost to a scamming weeds-level team like that, how tainted your lives would be.”

“Got it!”

A very skinny boy nodded firmly. His long gray hair was level with his shoulders, and his skin had a faint bluish hue. He stepped up to the field with a sinister air.

“It’s Kunrin!”

Many people in the stands already recognized him before Kleis announced the name for the second fighter to take to the field for team Mountain Kings.

“This guy is nicknamed Mirage, his mobility skills and illusion skills are both very strong.”

“This time, this kid from Holy Dawn Academy is gonna have it. He’ll probably be beaten until no one can recognize him before he can even reach the edge.”

In team Mountain Kings, Kunrin was the pretty gloomy and introverted type to begin with. He didn’t like to talk too much, so he didn’t say anything when he came onstage. He directly gestured at Kleis he was ready.

Ayrin threw him a glance, then immediately gestured that he was ready as well.

“Whoosh!”

White light flashed on Kunrin’s face. There was suddenly a white mask on it, without any decorative patterns or holes. It looked extremely weird.

“That’s the ‘Mask of Sorro’!”

“That’s a secret skill from Mountain Kings Academy. This mask, it allows someone to move at high speed without their vision being perturbed by the wind blowing in their eyes, so they can see more clearly. Not only that, it can also cut off poisonous air and poison mist, and even avert many arcane skills attacking the nerves.”

Many very knowledgeable and experienced people in the stands immediately recognized it.

“I never saw Kunrin use this skill last year. It seems he’s progressed quite a bit this year.”

“Kunrin’s fighting so carefully because he doesn’t want any mishap to happen. This Ayrin guy from Holy Dawn Academy is going to suffer.”

Facing Kunrin’s actions, Ayrin merely stayed on alert where he stood without moving an inch.

“Swish…”

Kurin’s silhouette vanished all of a sudden. Three silhouettes appeared near Ayrin at the same time.

“It’s Triple Mirage! His speed is too fast, so there will always be three silhouettes. It’s very hard for the opponent to tell which one is the real one!”

The stands erupted in surprised cries.

The three mirage-like silhouettes were all moving. Their right hands all flashed with light, stabbing straight at Ayrin.

“What!”

Almost everyone thought Ayrin couldn’t dodge Kunrin’s attack, but when Kunrin’s hands landed, they only hit empty air.

A black shadow flashed. Ayrin appeared five or six meters away.

“Swish… Swish… Swish…”

Rapid shrill air-breaking sounds rose nonstop.

In the space of an instant, Kunrin’s silhouettes were everywhere in the arena.

It seemed like there were several dozen Kunrins standing in the arena, while Ayrin’s figure emerged and then disappeared again like a black wisp flickering at flying speed, dodging everywhere away from the assault from several dozen Kunrins.

“Hiss…” A collective gasp rose from the stands.

“How can he be so fast!” Even people like Ivan or Ferguillo couldn’t resist looking at Charlotte. “His speed and dodging were clearly his greatest weaknesses… Why are his speed and dodging even better than Wilde’s now?”

“Don’t ask me, I don’t know either!” Charlotte stamped her feet, indignant and embarrassed. Even she couldn’t stop herself from saying, “How can he progress so fast?”

“Unexpectedly, even Kunrin can’t nail him down…”

“This guy, he was all clumsy against Rykiel, he looked like he dodged very slow. It turns out he was also faking that! He’s only a freshman with one open gate, but Kunrin still can’t land a strike on him.”

Everyone in team Mountain Kings became thoroughly pale.

“What’s going on?” Austin, the one nicknamed Death Hammer, watched the two’s countless shadows, and shouted in disbelief, “His movements are clearly still a bit slower than Kunrin’s, why is Kunrin finding it so hard to hit him?”

“Dodging!”
