Anderson frowned. The moment he emerged from his seclusion, Anderson had been extremely eager to look for Fang Xingjian. After all, the very reason he had gone through two consecutive months of hard work cultivating was so that he could defeat Fang Xingjian and clear himself of his past humiliation.
However, when he saw that Fang Xingjian did not care about him at all, Anderson was extremely infuriated.
Anderson shouted,”Fang Xingjian, stop pretending! I know you can hear me! Come and have a fight with me. I’m going to defeat you and erase my previous disgrace.”
Then he touched his chin and said,”It can’t be that you’re afraid, are you?” He shrugged,”It’s true that my second transition job, the Shadow of Death, is one of the top jobs amongst all second transition jobs, and it’s also one with the prerequisite of having Shadow Death God as the first transition job. So, it’s normal for you to be hesitant.
“But… you can’t be thinking that I won’t dare to make the first move just because you don’t take any action, right?”
Anderson let out a hysterical laugh, and at the next moment, he positioned himself in a crawling position that a wild beast would take. His killing intent was sent out toward Fang Xingjian brazenly as if it was a blade.
On the ground below him, countless shadows seemed to come alive, twisting and jumping about while exuding a deathly aura.
“Fang Xingjian, I know that you’re very fast. The biggest reason why I’ve chosen the Shadow of Death over other second transition jobs is because the Shadow of Death has a greater speed than that of the other jobs.
“You were the one who taught me that speed is power.
“You can experience my speed for yourself.”
As he spoke, the floor of the entire library was already covered by shadows, and these shadows then slowly extended up to Anderson’s legs.
A librarian shouted,”Stop it! Fighting in the library is forbidden!”
However, he had just finished his words when the space below his feet suddenly became empty, and he fell into the shadows.
Another two students who were level 23 Conferred Knights frowned and said,”Who are you? Fighting is not allowed here.”
However, Anderson continued to stare at Fang Xingjian, ignoring everyone else. The shadows under his feet seemed to have merged into one with his body, pulling and pushing his body as if it was a Maglev [1].
At the next moment, with a flash, Anderson abruptly appeared one meter behind Fang Xingjian. Next, he appeared one meter diagonally to the left and rear of Fang Xingjian, and then one meter diagonally to the right and front of Fang Xingjian.
Within the area covered by the shadows, Anderson could perform high speed movements like teleportation.
The eyes of one of the level 23 Conferred Knights were filled with surprise.”That’s fast! What technique is this? To think that I can’t even see the traces of his movements!”
Anderson guffawed,”Fang Xingjian, are you able to react to this speed?
“Are you unable to grasp my movements anymore?
“Left? Right? Front? Back? Where should I start to attack from?”
As Anderson spoke, he appeared at Fang Xingjian’s lower left side. The dagger he was holding seemed to be like a black lightning bolt, piercing toward Fang Xingjian’s thigh mercilessly.
In this moment, the explosive speed he unleashed had an agility stat of over 150 points. Adding on the effects of his many other specialties, his speed had reached 12 times that of supersonic speed.
With a bang, Anderson’s fist landed on Fang Xingjian’s upper thigh, but it was easily fended off my the Heavenly Abyss Annihilation Armor. Unknowingly, the dagger in his hand had disappeared.
Anderson’s countenance changed to one of shock, and with a flash, he retreated 30 meters away. However, he felt his body tense up as he bumped into Fang Xingjian who had dashed over without him knowing.
