Chapter 63 (2/2)
Jack and Anthony were equally astonished as they looked at this scene. They had thought Fang Xingjian might be able to win, but they never would have considered the possibility of him having such a clear-cut win.
This did not look like a battle, but rather like a one-sided crushing.
Especially after seeing the brutal and ruthless side of Fang Xingjian in the arena, which was a far cry from the usually calm guy they knew.
Jack broke out in laughter, “Alright! This Kaunitz deserves a thrashing!”
Anthony felt astonished, “Xingjian usually looks so calm. To think that his temper is actually so bad!”
Robert froze. Looking at how Kaunitz, the person who had defeated him, had suffered an instant knockout, his mind turned blank.
Hogan’s expression when looking at Fang Xingjian in the arena was similarly astonished. The latter did not show any signs of having failed the job transition. His speed was so fast that it actually matched the descriptions in the rumors.
On the other end, Dick gave out a surprised cry. He was recalling the speed that Fang Xingjian had earlier displayed, a speed so swift that it was against common sense. He stared straight at Fang Xingjian, his voice was so sharp and piercing that he could barely believe it himself.
“Fang… Fang Xingjian.. You’ve completed the job transition successfully? You transitioned into the Windstorm Sword Hero? How could this be?”
With a boom, the crowd below regained their senses, and it was as if oil had erupted in a metal wok. Amidst the commotion, everyone’s gazes were fixed on Fang Xingjian in the arena, looking at him as though they were looking at a monster. They were all waiting for Fang Xingjian’s reply.
“That’s right, I’ve already…”
“You little b*stard, let go of your leg!” A thunderous bellow resounded, and a piercing aura ray of clashing lightning and fire flew towards him as it cut through the air, slashing towards Fang Xingjian.
Before the sword Qi had arrived, the high temperature in the air had already made Fang Xingjian’s hair turn slightly curled, the trickles of electric currents making his four limbs feel slightly numb.
Fang Xingjian’s expression turned grim, and stepping heavily with both his legs, he made Kaunitz’s head under his feet give out a crisp crackling sound as he was knocked out for good. Smoke and dust shooting up into the sky from the ground layers, as if they had exploded, Fang Xingjian appearing ten meters away in an instant.
However, that lightning and fire infused sword Qi did not miss. Instead, it made a turn and continued to chase in Fang Xingjian’s direction.
At that moment, another series of slashes cut through the air, clashing with the lightning and fire infused sword Qi. After a series of explosions, the two cancelled each other out.
Huang Lin’s cold voice rang out, “Attempting to kill my disciple… Do you want to die?”
A dignified white-haired middle-aged lady dressed luxuriously dashed into the arena, looking at Kaunitz in concern. When she realized that he had only suffered some skull cracks and fractures and that he had not died, she let out a sigh of relief.
However, when she heard Huang Lin’s voice, she immediately let out a piercing scream.
“Old chap, look at the good thing your disciple has done. To think that he wanted to kill a Knight from the same batch as him in the battle arena! According to the academy’s regulations, the tendons to his four limbs should be destroyed and he should be chased out of the academy.” She had a savage expression, revealing raging and violent killing intent.
Looking at Rebecca, her figure merged with the image of Li Shuanghua in his mind. They were both old, they both sided with people they were closer to even though they were at fault, and they were both similarly vicious.
His experience in the Demonic City once again flooded his mind, burning in his eyes.
Fang Xingjian smiled angrily and said, “If I’d wanted to kill him, he’d have long died a few hundred times. Moreover, who are you? What right do you have to be making irresponsible remarks here?”
While he spoke, his heart turned increasingly cold and increasingly calm. In his mind, he kept contemplating Rebecca’s performance and that prowess of the lightning and fire infused sword Qi from earlier, simulating what he ought to do if they were to engage in a battle.
“You shameless scum!! Shameless scum!!” Rebecca trembled in anger, pointing towards Fang Xingjian, saying, “Headmaster, take a look! Take a look! This is our Prefectural Champion for this batch? This person not only does not show respect to his teachers and seniors, he even stomps on his classmates! Such a dirty pig who goes against reasoning is fit to be the Prefectural Champion?”
Huang Lin smiled coldly, looking at Rebecca, at the same time drawing his long black metal sword slowly, and saying, “Shut your trap. If you had not suddenly attacked, how would Kaunitz have been hurt by my disciple’s stomping? Moreover, he is a super genius who has successfully transitioned into a Windstorm Sword Hero. Do you think that you have the right to drive him out of the academy? Old hag, don’t think I dare not kill you just because you’re old!”
With that, the metal sword in Huang Lin’s hand swept horizontally, slicing towards Rebecca.
