Chapter 321 - Sorry for the Quick Action! (1/2)

Chapter 321 Sorry for the Quick Action!

“I won’t lose to you again this time.” Ye Hao bit his teeth.

Luo Fengtian kept a straight face. “You should pray to have the chance to meet me on the stage first.”

“You!”

Ye Hao flew into a rage.

Yu Weihan eyed Ye Hao curiously and asked Luo Fengtian, “Fengtian, this is?”

Luo Fengtian was not in the mood to share but considering who she was, Luo Fengtian explained, “He is the No.1 student in the Phoenix Peak Academy, the one I told you about.”

“Oh, that one…” Yu Weihan sized Ye Hao up and down with a weird look.

She had heard about the winner of the match in the Phoenix Peak Academy and how he ended up being beaten by Luo Fengtian, while completely unable to fight back at all. It was a surprise that she would run into that lousy winner here.

Ye Hao was quaking with rage after seeing the look in Yu Weihan’s eyes.

He usually wasn’t this short-tempered, but his previous failure was a burning shame for him. To make it worse, that beautiful lady was aware of it. Ye Hao wished he could find a place to hide. “This time, I will meet you after we get to the Top 10!”

Ye Hao gave Luo Fengtian one last glare. Then, he turned to see Su Lingyue. He had gone there to chat with her because she was also from the Phoenix Peak Academy and Su Ping’s sister. However, since Luo Fengtian was there, Ye Hao felt too embarra.s.sed to stay.

Ye Hao turned away and left.

Su Yanying tried to stop him but failed. She forced a bitter smile and darted a look at Luo Fengtian and the girl with him. She knew that the girl was also from the Berserking Blade Academy.

As for Luo Fengtian, Su Yanying had never liked him. Back in the day, if it weren’t for Su Ping’s intervention, the Berserking Blade Academy would have trashed the reputation of the Phoenix Peak Academy.

“What are you doing here?” Su Yanying asked. She was trying to protect Su Lingyue and she did it for Su Ping’s sake.

Luo Fengtian noticed her intention. “We do not mean her ill. We just wanted to come and talk to her to show her our care since she is here alone.”

“Care?” Su Yanying looked at him with doubt. They had once been opponents. Why would they go there to show care for Su Lingyue?

“Hmm, what are you doing? Our teacher knows her brother. What is wrong with us coming to talk to her?” Yu Weihan pulled a long face as she detected that Su Yanying wasn’t buying Luo Fengtian’s explanation.

Opponents would mutually abhor each other, which was particularly true for the fairer s.e.x.

Su Lingyue said in a hurry since an argument was about to break out because of her. “Please, sit down. Don’t worry, Yanying, they didn’t come with any hostile intentions.”

SuYanying looked at her. Still, since Su Lingyue had said so, Su Yanying dropped the matter. Besides, that girl mentioned Su Ping. At that time, Su Yanying had begun to trust their explanation.

Luo Fengtian knew that Su Lingyue was Su Ping’s sister and as such, he would not have the courage to offend her. They sat down and it just so happened that the match had just started.

The commentator announced the round’s inauguration with pa.s.sion. First up were two partic.i.p.ants in Group A.

After the salute was issued, everyone quieted down. The two partic.i.p.ants stepped onto the stage.

The partic.i.p.ants who could make their way to the Top 100, without a doubt, were all promising young elites in the Longjiang Base City.

“He’s from the Ye family!” Su Yanying squinted her eyes.

Luo Fengtian did the same thing.

Both Yu Weihan and Su Lingyue felt a surge of fear. A young man in black had just hopped onto the stage. He was about one point nine meters tall. He had a fine and well-proportioned figure, not the beefy sort; people could tell that he was flexible. As he stood on the stage, the young man was like a beast, waiting for his prey.

A suffocating aura came off from the young man. Even Su Lingyue could feel it radiating off the stage.

That young man was terrifying!

He was not hiding his strength at all. How wild he was!

During the trials, this young man had finished off half of the partic.i.p.ants!

His name was Ye Longtian. He came in second on the list of potential champions.

People shouted and cheered for him when he entered the stage.

At the same time, Ye Longtian’s opponent had also stepped into the stage.

That was an average, run-of-the-mill kind of person. He was about one point seven meters tall. His look was nothing special and neither was his hair. The only noticeable thing about him was the gun-looking device he carried on his belt and the saber on his back. He had to be skilled in using both weapons.

“Isn’t using firearms against the rules?” someone questioned.

At the same time, a few people recognized that this was a special artifact, not a high-tech weapon.

As more and more people began to voice their doubts, the commentator explained that they had tested and checked the device. It was a type of treasured artifact and thus using it was not against the rules.

The general public had no clear idea about the nature of treasured artifacts. They merely knew that those artifacts were special weapons that had strange structures. Not even with the most advanced technology in the Federation could people understand their structures.

“That man is an explorer,” Luo Fengtian pointed out.

He could tell from that man’s sinister demeanor and look. If Ye Longtian were a beast, then this person would be a seasoned hunter hiding in the depths of the woods.

Yet, at this moment, no one thought that this “seasoned hunter” would win because the beast he would be facing was vicious. That beast was the kind that could never be hunted.

Both Su Yanying and Yu Weihan were watching closely to avoid missing any details.

Su Lingyue was dedicating her mind completely to the upcoming compet.i.tion.

Bang!

The match began.

The huge stage was surrounded by a transparent seal so that the partic.i.p.ants could do whatever they wanted while on the stage.

“Just admit defeat. I don’t want to see you get hurt.” Ye Longtian looked down on his opponent indifferently.

“Well, I have been hurt many times. What can one more do?” The young explorer grinned but he remained solemn-faced. He knew that Ye Longtian, the future family head of the Ye family, was a dangerous opponent.

Whoos.h.!.+

As his grin faded away, the young explorer struck first to gain the initiative. He began to summon his pets first.

Roar! Roar!

People heard two loud noises. Two pets crawled out of the s.p.a.ce. One was a wolf of the wind family and the other was a bird of the fire family. Both pets could move with agility.

“Go!”

The young explorer growled. He pa.s.sed his order to his pets through his mind. The two pets dashed away at the same time; their cooperation was impeccable. A hurricane was swept across, and in this hurricane, flames suddenly appeared. The hurricane was suddenly set ablaze, which was much more lethal!

That was because of the combination of the wolf and the bird’s skills!

It was evident that the young explorer didn’t choose the two pets randomly. He picked them because their skills could be mutually complementary.

As the two pets released their skills, the young explorer drew his blade as well.

Bang!

The young explorer moved astral powers outside his body; he compressed them into an energy bullet and fired it.

That special artifact would use astral powers as bullets to inflict serious harm. That artifact was as powerful as an anti-tank cartridge!

It could penetrate tanks and could blast open a beast at the upper position of the seventh-rank! Compared to beasts, battle pet warriors were much weaker. A seventh-rank battle pet warrior would be weaker in defense than a fifth-rank beast unless the battle pet warrior was able to use special defensive skills.

Boom!

It sounded as if something had exploded. The hurricane swallowed Ye Longtian; the energy bullet had also penetrated the hurricane.

Before the audience even had a chance to scream in surprise, a figure had rushed out from the hurricane. It was Ye Longtian!

He had no pets with him!

“You’re asking for an insult!”

Cruelty was added to the coldness in Ye Longtian’s eyes.

The young explorer was stunned still. He couldn’t imagine how Ye Longtian had managed to come out from his attacks completely unharmed! Not to mention the fact that Ye Longtian hadn’t even summoned his

pets!

How did he do that?!

While the young explorer was still digesting the shocking event, Ye Longtian had approached him with vigorous strides.

The young explorer’s rich combat experience had saved him. He came back to his senses instantly and stepped backward right away. At the same time, he was about to summon a third pet.

“Secret skill—Instant Slas.h.!.+” Ye Longtian said in a low voice. Ye Longtian was about ten meters away from the young explorer. But with a flash, Ye Longtian had closed in on the young explorer again.

Bang!!

Ye Longtian landed a punch on the young explorer’s face, knocking him away. The young explorer ended up b.u.mping into the seal.

The battle had ended!

With one move, Ye Longtian had crushed his opponent.

The young explorer had yet to summon his third pet and the audience would never get to see what skills that pet had.

At the staging area.

“Oh d.a.m.n!”

“Is that guy a monster?”

The ninety-eight people in Group A that were waiting for their turns had turned pale as they witnessed this crazy exhibit of power.

The most astonis.h.i.+ng thing was that Ye Longtian defeated his opponent all by himself without using any pets!

All the people of the Mu, Liu, and Qin families appeared to be worried. Only three or four of them could keep a calm face.

One of the several was Qin Shaotian. Instead of looking concerned, Qin Shaotian was actually wearing a smile.

Another person who still stayed composed was Liu Qingfeng. At the end of the match, he squinted for a second, and then everything returned to normal.

A thin-looking young man of the Mu family kept a straight face throughout the process.

“What…?”
