Chapter 1257 - Intimidation (1/2)
‘Fist of Polar Channel’ Bagnita. He was an extremely strong Pugilist with an explosive, aggressive, and destructive style. The founder of multiple Pugilist styles, he was an expert in the Polar Channel Flow. Although he was not the founder of the Polar Channel Flow, he was publicly recognized as the best in the Polar Channel Flow style.
This guy was not from the Tragedy of the Pinnacles but was a neutral Beyond Grade A from even earlier. His cause of death was unknown, and he left his race behind.
Bagnita wore a sleeveless army combat shirt. The muscles on his arm jumped as he said coldly, “I hate it the most when people give me a multiple-choice question. Whether I help you or not depends on my mood. If you’re going to force me, there’s absolutely nothing to talk about!”
“People with a unique personality usually don’t live long.” Dylan sneered.
Hearing this, the others looked at him and nodded in agreement.
Bagnita ignored him, looked around, and said with a deep voice, “We’re all Beyond Grade As. What’s there to be afraid of? Those with a backbone, stand with me!”
Han Xiao shook his head and realized that he was surprisingly calm, as if he was used to it. In fact, it might feel weird if a Pugilist who was not headstrong appeared.
He turned and looked at the revivors. With a shrug, he said, “Who else agrees with him? You can step forward.”
The people exchanged looks and hesitated; no one responded. Instead, they backed away and isolated Bagnita.
Seeing this, Bagnita frowned, snorted, and said, “Humph, the Beyond Grade As are getting more cowardly with each generation!”
Dylan tutted and mocked him. “Hehe, you’re trying to provoke us to risk our life to play with you. If a fight really breaks out, you can probably walk out alive. You won’t be the one to die anyway. Just say it out loud if you want others to block bullets for you. We’re all Beyond Grade As here. Who are you putting up a performance for?”
Bagnita glanced at Dylan and said with disdain, “Idiot.”
Seeing this, Han Xiao looked back at Bagnita, raised his brow, and said, “Looks like you’re the only one. Do you still want to continue?”
“No one dares work with me. What else can I say?”
Bagnita snorted and put down his crossed arms.
Han Xiao could not help but laugh and said, “Aren’t you smart, but don’t you think you’re too naive? You tried to incite the other revivors, but when you saw it can’t be done, you gave up and wanted to act as if nothing happened. Do you really think it’s going to be that easy?”
Bagnita frowned, tightened his arm muscles again, and said, “What do you want?”
Han Xiao slowly walked forward into the revivors toward Bagnita while saying, “I revived you guys because it’s beneficial for the entire class, not for charity. I have already explained the situation very clearly earlier. We’re on the same boat here… Still, I never thought about sacrificing you guys. I didn’t even force you guys to take any risks and gave you all a choice to stay in the Holy Accord and watch us fight hard for our future. If we win, you guys can enjoy the victory together. If we lose, you guys can still stay hidden and save yourselves.
“You cannot appreciate us giving you a second life, but you were willing to destroy our whole plan just for your own desire… Of course, you’re free to do that. But since you’ve done it, don’t blame others for dealing with you.”
As soon as he said that, a sudden change occurred!
Raging energy erupted, covered with blinding Pugilist flames. Bagnita’s fist landed heavily on Han Xiao’s chest like an asteroid!
Boom!
“You knew I’m a Pugilist, yet you still dared approach me. You’re asking for a beating!”
This thought flashed past Bagnita’s mind. There was no way he was going to wait and do nothing. Seeing Han Xiao’s words were heading toward a dangerous direction, he immediately decided to strike first.
The next moment, the power of the punch exploded. Dense Pugilist flames gushed out from Han Xiao’s back, turning into a cylinder-shaped energy shockwave that created an enormous hole in the room.
Boom!
A blinding beam of light shot out from this galactic base as if an explosion occurred inside.
In the room, the people were surprised to see how decisive Bagnita was in attacking. Some wanted to help while others wanted to back away and watch.
However, before they acted, they saw that Han Xiao, who had just been punched heavily, did not even shake. It was as if nothing happened to him. In the blink of an eye, Han Xiao’s hands grabbed onto Bagnita’s head and he raised his leg!
Bang!
Bagnita shockingly could not resist such an enormous force at the time. His head was dragged down and intimately hit Han Xiao’s knee. Blood gushed out from his nose, and his brain trembled.
Before he recovered from the short moment he was stunned, Han Xiao wrapped his one hand around Bagnita’s head and locked him in place, while the elbow of his other hand slashed down on Bagnita’s arched back.
Kacha!
The sound of bone breaking appeared in everyone’s ears, and a visible dent appeared on Bagnita’s spine.
Hiss!
Many people inhaled with shock. The looks in their eyes changed again.
Taking one powerful attack head-on just to heavily injure the opponent in exchange… we won’t believe it even if you tell us he’s not a Pugilist!
At this time, Bagnita finally recovered from the short moment he was stunned. He roared, and the flames on his body erupted again. His muscles bulked up. A dense energy spread instantly, and his attributes shot up in a flash.
Then, Bagnita grabbed Han Xiao by his waist, kicked back with his legs at full power, and pushed Han Xiao through metal walls one after another. They shot out into space like an asteroid.
“That’s Polar Channel Flow!”
The people instantly figured out what happened.
Relying on the explosive power of the Polar Channel Flow, the combat capability of Pugilists could usually shoot up a small Grade. As the publicly known master in the Polar Channel Flow, its effect on Bagnita was even more incredible. Plus, with his personal improvements on it, its side effects were very limited.
Bagnita was not a peak Beyond Grade A on his own, but with his explosive power, he was more than capable of fighting a peak Beyond Grade A and earning himself the name of ‘Fist of Polar Channel’. In the revivors’ eyes, he was very strong.
Although they had just felt how strong Han Xiao’s Energy Rank was not long ago, they had never seen Black Star in combat and did not have a clear idea of it.
Since there was an opportunity now, the revivors did not help anyone, nor did they stop them—they all wanted to observe Black Star’s strength in combat.
Most Beyond Grade As were proud, all of them wanted to see how strong this so-called ‘leader of Beyond Grade As’ was and what gave him the confidence to call himself that.
The revivors were initially expecting a marvelous fist fight, but the change that happened in the next second took them by complete surprise.
Han Xiao locked his hands around Bagnita too. Right after that, Mechanical Force erupted from all over his body. At the same time, countless mechanical soldiers swarmed out from the galactic base, shrouding the sky, and instantly fired at the two of them!
Boom!
Like a newborn Fixed Star, the expanding energy light sphere lighted up the cosmic space!
