Chapter 192: Ms. Fantastic
Translator: Double_LEditor: Hitesh_
Hu Yangxuan had been wounded six times, yet he was still unable to inflict any damage to Wally. The students of Capth were excited as they realized that Wally was about to win. Wally then thrust his rapier as he unleashed a tide of rapid stabs by channeling a blast of GN Force!
Wally’s Soul Energy reached one hundred and eighty sols as he rapidly fired his stabs like a shower of arrows. His rapier was dancing like a mesmerizing but deadly flower.
The indefensible rapid stabs from a rapier were truly terrifying. In fact, rapiers possessed the highest frequency of attacks compared to any other existing weapons.
However, Hu Yangxuan wasn’t defending this time; in fact, he had been waiting for this since the beginning. Wally was able to maintain his upper hand because his Soul Energy was about the same level as Hu Yangxuan’s, and his attacking methods had successfully inhibited Hu Yangxuan’s performance. To be honest, Apache was the better choice of facing off Wally, yet Hu Yangxuan insisted on fighting him because he had a plan.
Knowing that Capth had saved its best candidates for later, Hu Yangxuan was determined to take Wally down. At least he would be able to lessen the burden of his team!
As soon as Wally attacked, Hu Yangxuan dropped his shield, dashed forward and flung his sword to unleash the Slash of Templar!
He was planning for both of them to perish together!
Immediately Wally regretted his decision to finish him off, but it was already too late. Wally knew about the Slash of Templar, and he knew that he would be KO-ed if he chose to dodge. However, he didn’t expect Hu Yangxuan would choose to use this bold strategy.
It was kind of barbaric, to be honest.
Unlike his older self, Hu Yangxuan had awakened. After going through the special training with Wang Tong and the rest of the team, he had finally learned that fame wasn’t what mattered most in a fight, and a fighter would try to win a battle at all cost, even if it meant to sacrifice everything. Right now, winning was all that mattered!
Bam…!
GN Force from both fighters clashed with each other.
Clearly, Hu Yangxuan’s strategy was to pretend to be defensive and strike back as soon as he forced his opponent to unleash a kill strike! This was his bravery as a fighter!
Wally was furious about the outcome as Hu Yangxuan’s decision of perishing together had forced him to be eliminated. Although he was still alive, yet he would be knocked out for sure if it was a fight in reality. Originally he was planning on showing off in front of those honorable guests by demonstrating an ”all-kill”. Unfortunately, his plan was ruined by Hu Yangxuan’s outrageous strategy.
As he was about to throw a tantrum, Li Ruo-Er looked at him in the eyes and said, ”Wally, mind your manners. You were eliminated because of your opponent’s successful strategy. So suck it up.”
Wally calmed down instantly. Now that the battle had ended, throwing a tantrum would only affect Capth’s reputation.
Students of Capth were saying that it wasn’t fair, yet the guests from the military seemed pleased about the match. To them, this was how a duel should look like. After all, this was not some kind of stage performance.
Results were shown on the monitor after a while… The winner was Wally!
Finally, the students of Capth were relieved and clapped vigorously. Although both fighters perished together, Hu Yangxuan was the first to be hit by Wally’s rapid stabs. If this were a real fight, Hu Yangxuan would be killed, and Wally would be seriously injured instead.
Now that Capth had obtained the first victory, things seemed to be not looking good for Ayrlarng. Unfortunately for Ayrlarng, the first match was a loss instead of a draw. They were so close to that, yet it couldn’t be helped.
Hu Yangxuan sighed. Things didn’t work as planned even though he had made his calculations. Wally was better than he expected. Nevertheless, he still felt good for taking him down together.
Samantha too was happy at the final outcome. Hu Yangxuan had clearly improved a lot. At least, he had learned to put down his pride as a Templar’s follower and care less about fame. Samantha was happy and relieved that her tough training was able to help Hu Yangxuan improve dramatically, and she hoped that he would be able to continue improving in the future as well.
After all, Court of the Templar was only a gateway towards success. Yet, to thrive or not all depended on the followers’ determination.
As for the second match, Apache stood up all of a sudden and pointed towards Cisco, ”Your turn!”
Clearly, the gauntlets had been thrown!
Everyone was surprised by the alliance’s bold action to call for a challenge!
Wang Ben, who was supposed to go next, went back to his seat, and Cisco walked forward to accept Apache’s challenge. There was no room for him to back down!
Halmond nodded as one of the teachers whispered something to him. Obviously, the candidates were all fired up, and this tournament was getting more and more interesting.
No one had expected Hu Yangxuan, a Templar’s follower, would choose to perish together with his opponent, and no one had imagined that Apache would challenge Cisco publicly.
A year ago, Apache, who was in second grade, got defeated by first grader Cisco. After that, Apache, who was devastated by the defeat, headed off and joined the Anti-Smuggling Special Unit in order to improve his skills. Finally, he was back at Capth, ready for a rematch!
Cisco, who was originally Capth’s No.1 amongst second graders, too had hit the bottom of the rock after getting defeated by Einherjar Wannabe in PA. Shortly after his defeat, he was forced to handover his title as No.1.
