The resting room was already packed with students from Ayrlarng. Although some of them had lost in the tournament, they decided to stay and enjoy watching the rest of the tournament.
Wang Tong stared at his friends' shirts and asked, ”What are you guys wearing?”
”Isn't it pretty? Lumi came up with the idea.” Zhou Sisi announced.
Everyone sewed the emblem of the S-Club to their shirt; some sewed it on the chest pocket, and some did it on their back.
”Club leader, we are all counting on you!”
”No kidding, you are our last hope!”
”Don't let them look down on us!”
Sensing everyone's high spirits, Wang Tong felt the responsibility on his shoulder grow. He knew that he had to win this tournament for his beloved friends.
On the other side of the resting room, Karl and Hu Yangxuan was chatting about something, and then they both burst out laughing.
”Haha! Well said, 'the sickness of arrogance'… It's rich! ”
”Listen up everyone, our boss's expertise is curing those hotshots' arrogance! Let them taste our real power!”
”You bet!”
Amidst the clamor, Wang Tong patted Hu Yangxuan's shoulder and said, ”Your fight this afternoon is going to be a challenge. Are you ready?”
”Don't worry! I am prepared.” Hu Yangxuan replied calmly.
Hu Yangxuan's next opponent was Ye Kai, the Gentlemen sword. He was not only the second-seeded fighter of his section, but also one of the four inner court disciples that got sent to the tournament.
Wang Tong didn't press Hu Yangxuan with more questions, as he knew that words wouldn't make the fight any easier. However, he was still concerned about Hu Yangxuan, since he knew that Ye Kai was a powerful young Templar.
In the afternoon, Hu Yangxuan faced Ye Kai in the fifth section.
Except for a few earthling students and members of the Templar's court, there weren't many other audience members at this match, since the two fighters were both from the earth.
The members of the S club watched eagerly as both fighters entered the arena. Hu Yangxuan was one of the toughest fighters from the S Club, and since the club had already lost Cao Yi, he had become the club's only representative in this tournament in addition to Wang Tong.
”This guy looks so young. Maybe, Hu Yangxuan has a chance at winning this round. ” Karl said lightheartedly.
”There is a gap in power between the Inner and the Outer Court. I don't think being older would help Hu Yangxuan much.” Cao Yi grinned.
”Come on, don't be so pessimistic! Look at him, he looks wimpy!” Karl rebutted.
Cao Yi shook his head and decided to drop the matter. Although he and Hu Yangxuan had improved a lot during their boot-camp training, they had also opened their eyes to the existence of a greater power that they had never imagined of. Therefore, Ca Yi knew this fight would not be easy for Hu Yangxuan.
Wang Tong sat quietly; he reckoned that Hu Yangxuan had trained harder than most people, and it would be a pity if he lost this fighter so early in the game.
However, Wang Tong also registered that Ye Kai could be the strongest, even among the four inner court disciples.
Ye Kai bowed to Hu Yangxuan and greeted him with a smile, ”Nice to meet you, Court Brother.”
”No need for the formality, we are opponents now.” Hu Yangxuan replied in a serious tone.
”Hehe! Court brother, I really don't want to hurt you. Why don't you just give up?” Ye Kai asked with an earnest expression. The audience boiled over at the question, as they wondered why the young Templar would ask such a preposterous question.
However, Ye Kai didn't look like he was jesting, while Hu Yangxuan didn't seem to be offended either. The other three inner court disciples remained calm, as if they had anticipated such a proposal.
”I won't surrender until you slit my throat with your sword. ” Hu Yangxuan replied.
”Fine, if that is what you wish!” Ye Kai said as he inched towards Hu Yangxuan. Hu Yangxuan stared at his opponent and stepped back, maintaining the distance between him and the inner court disciple. All this while, both fighters had cranked up their soul energy, and the scene on the stage was extremely intense.
”Balls! What are you afraid of? Do away with him already!” Karl shouted at the top of his lungs. But before Karl was able to utter another word, he was pressed back to his seat by Zhou Sisi.
Hu Yangxuan took another half step back and then he attacked as he hewed his blade at Ye Kai.
They both moved too fast for the audience to see clearly what was going on. As the two fighters passed each other, a gush of blood spattered onto the ground; the blood belonged to Hu Yangxuan.
