Chapter 74: Falling Back

“George Krieg, you dare act with such impudence in my academy with a mere fire clone?”

The Headmaster, who had initially appeared to be a kind and friendly elderly man, suddenly frowned in fury. The muscles all over his body swelled up like a balloon, light gleaming from his eyes, as his aura started escalating at an astonishing speed.

It was the first time Fang Xingjian had seen him so furious. Others had told him that the Headmaster, a level 26, had completed the second transition to become a Tyrant Fist of the Azure Skies. His abilities were probably above Huang Lin’s. However, this was the first time he had seen the Headmaster showcasing his prowess.

Many people were unable to level up for their second transition and got stuck at various levels instead. This was because after completing the second transition, they would need to devote an enormous amount of hard work and effort to reach each additional level. Fang Xingjian had yet to research this in detail.

Hearing the Headmaster’s words, the First Prince could not help but furrow his brows, “Jackson, are you thinking of going against me as well?”

“Going against you?” The Headmaster frowned, his hair rising as he gave a cold laughter and said, “George, you come to my school and bully my student. Even if we were to bring this to his Majesty, I would not be afraid of confronting you!

“As for this fire clone of yours, you can just leave it here.”

Before he even finished speaking, the Headmaster punched forward, instantly causing an explosion. The flames from the surface of the silhouette were blasted away, a large amount of sparks and ashes scattering all over. The First Prince cried out in pain and bellowed furiously, “Jackson! Who gave you the permission to assault a member of the royalty?!”

“Hahaha!” the Headmaster laughed boisterously. His fists opened and closed, like the main cannons on a battleship. With each punch, a thunderous sounds would ring out in the atmosphere, and cracks would appear on the ground. Huge sparks covered First Prince’s fire clone, shattering it.

“If you had come in person, I obviously wouldn’t have dared to assault a member of the royalty. However, since you thought sending a mere fire clone would be enough to suppress others, do you really consider that you are the same as your father or your Master?

“Let me tell you. Compared to your father and to your Master, regardless if it’s in terms of receptiveness or abilities, they are hundreds of times better than you. If I were them, how could I not even tolerate a Windstorm Sword Hero?”

Before ending his sentence, Tyrant Fist of the Azure Skies’ job specialty had already been fully activated. The Reduced Force Field expanded hundreds of meters outwards, and the First Prince felt the force of each punch through the Reduced Force Field.

The series of terrifying punching attacks akin to cannonballs, made the First Prince’s fire clone unceasingly quiver, sparks flying in all directions.

“You old ignorant man… You are so impudent!” The First Prince’s tone was cold and distant, and as his fire clone continued disintegrating, he suddenly unleashed an endless amount of flames and black smoke. A strong sulfuric smell spread in the air and all over the ground, as if a volcano had erupted.

The flames and the Headmaster’s punches collided, occasional streams of air currents swirling out from the collision point. However, the First Prince managed to somehow block the Headmaster’s attack.

But right at that moment, streams of cold light flashed in the air. Unknowingly, Huang Lin had appeared behind the First Prince. Flashes of sword light flared out, and swept across the fire clone’s four limbs and waist.

Killing technique–Void Laceration Long Sword.

Wherever Huang Lin’s longsword swept by, the sword force turned into light pillars, coagulating midair, and forming a sword cage which trapped the First Prince.

The fire clone’s four limbs were slashed off. Originally, the flames would have been able to merge back together easily, but now they were blocked off by the sword force.

“Huang Lin… Jackson… do you guys really want to die?” The First Prince’s face turned gloomy, the flames all over his body blazing even fiercer as they endlessly collided against the sword forces and the punches, creating loud thunderous sounds. However, facing the joint forces of the opponents, he was gradually suppressed.

While the three experts continued their battle, Griffin broke into a shrewd smile and dashed towards Fang Xingjian.

‘Hmph, although this chap is very talented, he transitioned into a Windstorm Sword Hero only one month ago. I, on the other side, have completed the first transition twenty years ago. Even if I’m not that good at combat…’

As he said that, he appeared before Fang Xingjian, opening his hands letting Killing technique–Purgatory Hand–burst out.

Griffin’s Purgatory Hand was a Killing technique mastered by gathering endless thermal powers, and forging all sorts of metals. This not only gave him indestructible hands, impossible to penetrate by blades and axes, but they could also produce a temperature higher than one thousand degrees. An ordinary person would simply die just from one touch.

His hands had only come as close as fifteen meters to Fang Xingjian, when the latter felt heat waves surging towards him, as if he were near a volcano’s entrance.
