Chapter 111: Humiliation and Punishment

Translator: Yukidaruma Translations  Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

Boundless fury attacked the four.

At the next moment, however, feelings of disappointment arose in Claude, Renault, and Xiu Yi.

So what if they felt angry? So what if they felt jealous? The difference in their abilities was laid out right in front of them. No matter how angry they felt, it was impossible to change this fact.

What had made them felt even more despair was the talent Fang Xingjian had displayed. How long had it been? Fang Xingjian’s abilities had already, yet again, undergone such astonishing progress. They felt that even if they were to combine the resources from all the classes and clans, they would never be able to catch up to Fang Xingjian in their entire lives, forever doomed to stare at his back as he continuously advanced.

But on the other side, Rota let out a loud bellow. The agitated ether particles rippled out from her body, surging out towards all directions. Her long, pitch-black hair flew up as if they were strong flames burning in the air, making her appear as if she was a goddess in the night sky. She revealed her tender skin, her thin waist, and her slender long legs, exuding a breath-taking charm.

At the same time, a burning gaze shot out from her eyes and her hair was ageing at a speed the naked eye could see. While her beauty was being shown, it gave her an additional heroic spirit unique to what female Knights had.

Claude was shocked and said, “Rota! What are you doing!”

The other party was obviously using a Killing technique which was very damaging to one’s foundations.

Rota’s eyes turned blood red as she stared at Fang Xingjian who was holding a sword, saying coldly, “Fang Xingjian, after giving us such humiliation, you’re now thinking of leaving?”

Fang Xingjian threw her an indifferent glance, saying, “Amongst so many Knights in the academy, it turns out that you, a female, has the most guts.

“However, my fist is bigger than yours, tougher than yours. So what if I had humiliated you? What can you do?”

A hint of killing intent flashed across Rota’s face, and she said a word at a time, “I started picking up spear techniques from the age of five. For the past over twenty years, it was as if I was was treading on thin ice, trembling with fear, maintaining my best condition at all times. I racked my brains, not daring to slack for even a moment. All this effort was so that I could get recognized. I want there to be no one in this world who could bully me or humiliate me.

“Fang Xingjian, you have extraordinary talent. You can defeat me, but you cannot humiliate me, nor my spear arts.

“Because while a Knight’s flesh could be defeated, a Knight’s honor cannot be easily humiliated.”

With each word she said, the fluctuations of the ether particles on her grew even stronger. The light in her eyes became increasingly bright, as if they were two beams of ionic light beams that continuously shot out.

After finishing her last words, Rota grabbed towards the space and the omnipresent ether particles started gathering at a speed which could be seen by the naked eye. Countless Waves piled up together, creating a crimson red long spear.

‘Effulgence Weapon！’

‘To think that she could perform it when she’s only at the Knight level!’

Renault, Xiu Yi, and Claude all abruptly lifted their heads to look at Rota, whose black long hair continued to gray, and eventually white. Their eyes brimmed with guilt and awareness.

When Rota had finished her words, Fang Xingjian’s eyes were wide-opened for the first time. He sized up Rota and said, “You’re Rota? Alright, I’ve remembered you. You spoke well. Because while a Knight’s flesh could be defeated, a Knight’s honor cannot be easily humiliated.

“You’re right. I’ll remember this.

“But…”

When he was saying starting saying “b-“, Fang Xingjian was still standing where he was. But when he finished the word with “-ut”, Fang Xingjian was already standing next to Rota, his hand over her shoulders.

Amongst everyone who were present, no one was able to see how he had done that.

“No matter how passionate one is, it would not be able to change the actual gap. A person’s abilities would not be improved just because of a few words.

“But Rota, I’ll remember your name.” Fang Xingjian’s finger tapped lightly on her forehead, creating a soft sound. And so, the other party’s brain had already been concussed. She very quickly lost consciousness.

The fluctuations of the ether particles throughout Rota started to weaken together with her consciousness. The last words she heard was Fang Xingjian saying, “You can try to work a bit harder and see if you can catch up to me.”
