Chapter 19 (2/2)

Kaunitz had long completed training the Chaotic Strike, having reached level 12. His execution of the technique was akin to a titan continuously smashing down on an entire mountain range.

To have achieved such an outstanding accomplishment of cultivating this sword technique to level 12 was also something Kaunitz was very proud of.

On the other side, Fang Xingjian could not see any flaws to exploit for the moment, and thus was completely overwhelmed by Kaunitz’s strength and agility, which were better than his in the first place.

Bangbangbangbang, Fang Xingjian received five to six consecutive blows, and felt his Qi and blood surging wildly in his body, as his hands turned numb. It seemed as though the longsword would fall out of his hands at any moment.

This time around, Kaunitz’s attributes had been fully unleashed, completely unlike the time when he was using the Grizzly Bear Sword Technique, and had been sorely suppressed. In but an instant, he managed to put an enormous amount of pressure over Fang Xingjian.

‘This fellow… His agility and flexibility should both be above 30 points.’

Fang Xingjian felt that each time he parried was as though he was being shot at by a cannon. Kaunitz was using this unfamiliar sword art along with the advantage of his higher stats to fully suppress him.

This was what ‘using strength to suppress people’ truly meant.

After three continuous heavy strikes, the force of each sword blow got increasingly strong, giving Fang Xingjian no chance to retaliate. Finally, with a thunderous sound, the wooden sword in Fang Xingjian’s hand was split into two, its halves falling on the ground.

Ogden immediately walked forward, saying, “What a powerful sword technique! Is Young Master Kaunitz displaying the sword technique which is only passed down to the direct heir of the Tresia Knight Academy? It felt many times more powerful when compared to our Grizzly Bear Sword Technique.

This sword technique has such a powerful aura that I feel as though the explosiveness of its strength surpasses that of the Grizzly Bear Sword Technique.”

The students nearby all came up to Kaunitz, fawning over him, but he himself wore an unhappy expression on his face. He had lost in the duel of the Grizzly Bear Technique and had been forced to resort to the other sword techniques he was proficient in. To a genius like himself, this was equivalent to a loss.

With a cold snort, he turned around and left. He decided to cultivate for a few more days and come back to challenge Fang Xingjian only after his Grizzly Bear Sword Technique levelled up more.

Vivian ran to Fang Xingjian and nervously asked, “Martial Brother Xingjian, are you okay?”

Fang Xingjian rubbed his numb arms, but did not answer her. His attention was fully focused on the Techniques Column of the Stats Window. He was not sure when, but a new technique had appeared.

Chaotic Strike (5%)

‘Chaotic Strike? Isn’t this… the technique which Kaunitz used earlier?’ An astonished light flickered in Fang Xingjian’s eyes. ‘My talent is actually powerful to the extent that I’m able to learn my opponent’s sword techniques by merely sparring against him?’

Initially, he was slightly depressed because he had not been able to learn the other sword techniques of The School of Sword Arts, but now he was excited. As for his loss to Kaunitz, he did not pay it any heed at all.

Casually, he took a hold of Vivian’s longsword, and called out in the direction of the departing Kaunitz, “Hey, let’s have one more round!”

Kaunitz turned his head around, and gazed expressionlessly at Fang Xingjian. In reality, he felt that Fang Xingjian’s Grizzly Bear Sword Technique had already surpassed Ogden’s. If he was able to spar with Fang Xingjian, he would naturally progress faster.

Kaunitz had been born with the specialty Force Sense. Such a situation where one was born equipped with a specialty was also known as having an inborn specialty, which was a strong indicator that the person in question was a genius.

Kaunitz’s Force Sense was many times clearer compared to ordinary humans’ when it came to sensing the fluctuations and changes in the degree of the opponents’ strength. This was why he loved to spar with experts. It allowed him to gain experience faster.

At the same time, although he was not able to win against Fang Xingjian by using only the Grizzly Bear Sword Technique, he also hated those who refused to admit defeat. This was why he had thought of challenging Fang Xingjian again in a few days’ time.

But now, Fang Xingjian had actually dared to initiate a challenge against him. A cold smile hung on his lips as he replied, “Of course. Since you’re looking to be abused, I will comply with your wish to the very end.”
