Chapter 484 -The Chipped-tooth Man (2/2)

“Whoa! A flying man! Interesting!” someone said joyfully in the distance.

Huh? There’s still people on campus? They didn’t leave for vacation?

Xie Xie looked up to see a middle-aged man smiling at him, his build as average as they came. He wore his hair short, and his small eyes shone with warmth. A toothy grin that wasn’t quite whole, a front tooth chipped in half. He swept the floor with a broom, giving the appearance of a neighborly uncle.

“Uncle, who are you?” Xie Xie asked.

The man’s face froze. “Uncle? Am I that old already? Boy, you were really quick on your feet just now. Are you an agility-type?”

Xie Xie chuckled. “Uncle, you really do deserve to be Shrek’s janitor. You can even tell I’m an agility-type!”

A mischievous smile played across the man’s face. “You shouldn’t underestimate people. Boy, how about we make a bet?”

“What bet?”

“I’ll stand right here. If you can snatch this broom from me within ten minutes, you win. Otherwise, it’s my win.”

Xie Xie shook his head. “No thanks. There’s no point.”

“I’ll bet you one hundred contribution points! Even us janitors get points,” the man said.

Xie Xie smirked. “Uncle, now you’re just gifting me a hundred points. You work a hard job, so I’ll still have to say no.”

The man’s face soured. “Huh? I wanted to win some points from you for breakfast. I didn’t think you wouldn’t even have the balls to accept such a small bet.”

Xie Xie felt his chest tighten. It was an easy bet anyway. He simply had to snatch the broom from the man’s hands while the man stood still. “Fine. I’ll take you on!”

Xie Xie’s figure blurred the moment the words left his mouth. He reached the man in an instant, his hand stretching for the broom. After spending so much time with Tang Wulin, he had learned a few cunning tricks.

“Whoa!” the man cried out, letting go of the broom. But this act caused Xie Xie’s hand to miss the handle.

The broom fell onto the man’s toes. Xie Xie stepped in and stooped low to grab it.

The man turned, the broom sticking to his foot as if glued on. Xie Xie missed again.

“Huh?” Xie Xie’s eyes went wide. He realized now that this was no ordinary man. His competitive spirit was stoked. His figure blurred again and his speed doubled, his daggers materializing in his hands.

The man kicked the broom back into his grasp. He faced Xie Xie with a huge grin. “Come on. The clock is ticking.”

Xie Xie remained silent. Using Ghost Shadow Perplexing Step, he surrounded the man with his afterimages. It was near impossible pick out the real Xie Xie.

However, the broom came alive in the man’s hands. It jumped, danced, and twisted around, avoiding Xie Xie’s grasp each time, no matter the angle of attack. Through it all the man didn’t move a single step, his lower body practically motionless!
