Chapter 126: Quick and Continuous Battles!
Everyone else retreated from the ring . In the ring, Bai Xiaofei made an inviting gesture to the armored guy .
“I am Bai Kai . Pardon my offenses!”
After saying this, Bai Kai charged straight at Bai Xiaofei . It was no secret that Bai Xiaofei was from the Illusion Stream . Bai Kai wasn’t looking down on Bai Xiaofei . However, he was sure that the moment he entered Bai Xiaofei’s melee range, victory would be his .
“Frenzy!”
Bai Kai’s main puppet was the Berserker’s Armor . It had similar effects to Duan Yiyi’s Frenzy, the only difference being that it was slightly stronger . On his hands were a pair of gauntlets that were the same as Shi Kui’s . Strengthened by his gauntlets, he slashed his claymore down on Bai Xiaofei . Bai Xiaofei stood there unmoving even as the attack was about to land .
What the hell is Big Brother Fei doing?
Everyone in the Savage Class had the same thought racing through their mind . However, the very next second, they all witnessed a stunning scene . Bai Xiaofei’s sharp observation skills allowed him to make an accurate judgment of how to deal with this attack . He slanted his body to the side, causing Bai Kai’s attack to land on the ground . Bai Kai’s attack created a crater in the ground, clearly demonstrating the prowess of this attack .
Unfortunately, this attack had no effect . After dodging, Bai Xiaofei clenched his right fist tightly before sending a punch straight towards Bai Kai’s ribs . With a muffled bang, Bai Xiaofei’s punch landed on Bai Kai’s armor . Everyone believed that this punch wouldn’t amount to anything . However, as the receiver of this punch, Bai Kai was assaulted by an intense pain . Bai Xiaofei's single punch nearly caused Bai Kai to vomit his dinner from last night . But things were far from over .
After this punch, Bai Xiaofei sidestepped to Bai Kai’s back . At this moment, Bai Kai had yet to regain his footing . Despite that, he was still able to react speedily . Bai Kai aimed the claymore straight at Bai Xiaofei .
An eye for an eye! That was his plan . Unfortunately, Bai Xiaofei’s right hand was faster, so Bai Kai didn't have the chance to do what he wanted . The moment his right wrist was grabbed by Bai Xiaofei, it was as if his sword wielding hand had been shackled by an iron chain . Bai Kai could no longer move his hand no matter what he did .
“It’s over!”
Bai Xiaofei said dryly . He gathered his strength in his fist and sent Bai Kai flying with a punch to his chest . This exchange might have taken long to narrate, however, the actual fight had only lasted a few seconds . Both classes were so shocked by the result that they simultaneously gulped down their saliva .
He…is a puppet master from the Illusion Stream? Are you sure he’s not a martial artist instead?
Bai Kai forcefully swallowed the blood that was welling up inside . He struggled to his feet with great difficulty . A slight trace of fear could be seen in his eyes when he looked at Bai Xiaofei again .
“I lost . . . ”
Although he didn't want to admit it, he still surrendered . He could tell that Bai Xiaofei had already held back earlier . Otherwise, if Bai Xiaofei had attacked his head, he would be even worse off than now .
With this, the result of the match was decided . One side was happy while the other was sad . The dejected students of class 21 left the ring while the students of the Savage Class surrounded Bai Xiaofei . They were flooding him with all sorts of questions .
“It is a long story . Focus on the matches first . I will tell you guys during lunch, okay?”
Bai Xiaofei couldn’t stand the onslaught of questions and answered with a forced smile . After silencing them, he looked over to Xue Ying . He could see that Xue Ying had yet to recover from her anger . As such, he took the initiative and spoke first .
“This is only the first step . Trust me, you will not leave Starnet Academy . ”
Bai Xiaofei walked over to Xue Ying and guaranteed with confidence . The solemn look on his face and the perfectly straight posture he assumed was entirely capable of charming countless maidens into a trance .
Xue Ying was no exception . After hearing his words, she couldn’t help but be somewhat touched . However, he did not get the chance to revel in his success for long . Not even two seconds had passed before her punch shot towards him .
“Don’t think that I have no idea what you are planning . Tell me, where did you go last night?”
Sometimes, being touched was still insufficient to make one forget one’s fixation .
“Stop hitting me! Big Sister Xue, I’ll tell you! I went looking for grandpa last night! I was afraid that there would be side effects with the Nirvana Pearl . But I didn’t want to worry you either . That’s why I went to ask him myself . ”
Seeing that his first plan had failed to work, Bai Xiaofei used the second excuse he had prepared . In any case, no matter which lie he told, it would be better than being ripped apart after telling her the truth . As expected, this excuse worked . Even though Xue Ying still didn’t entirely buy what he said, she still let him off . After all, the new match was about to start…
After dealing with class 21, the remaining four classes were all the classes from the commoner’s district . Out of the four, two of them came forward and asked for Bai Xiaofei’s autograph before surrendering . One class chose the option of using five fights to determine the victor . They were even allowed to select the five people to represent the Savage Class . The match ended after Duan Yiyi, Zhu Nuo, and Xing Nan defeated them with their bare hands .
The final class suffered the most miserable fate . Having learned a lesson after observing the previous class’s defeat, they decided to have a group battle instead . As a result, they were defeated bare handed by the Savage Class before they could even see their puppets .
After they were done with the morning matches, the Savage Class held a celebration . They used Bai Xiaofei’s discharge from the hospital as an excuse and had a feast at the Hundred Flavor House . Naturally, the money for this meal came from Bai Xiaofei’s pocket . He was initially unwilling to pay . However, he surrendered after Xue Ying tried probing him about last night .
Feel free to slaughter my wallet . In any case, it is better than being ripped apart!
During lunch, Bai Xiaofei gave them a brief summary of what had happened to him . Everyone gazed at him with admiration . However, the crowd quickly got over it . Bai Xiaofei's fortuitous encounter was awesome but he almost lost his life because of it . As far as they were concerned, they could do without such an encounter .
After lunch, the Savage Class continued with the competition . Repeating what they did in the morning, at the end of each match, Bai Xiaofei would immediately tell the judge to prepare the next one . The speed at which they progressed dumbfounded the judge .
From the looks of it, they are planning to rush their way until the end!
Most low rank puppet masters shared the same weakness of having insufficient melee combat prowess . Therefore, the training Xue Ying gave them during their first month became the perfect tool to help them hide their true strength during the match . They would occasionally encounter some rare low rank puppet masters who were good at melee combat . However, these opponents were still no match for Lin Li’s Divine Phoenix Feather Dress .
In any case, the news about Lin Li being in the Savage Class was no longer a secret . Since the Divine Phoenix Feather Dress couldn’t be used as a trump card any longer, they might as well let her make full use of it . Using this strategy, they won all four of their afternoon matches easily . Thus, they completed their mission of nine victories per day .
“Big Brother Fei, I feel like if this continues, it won’t be a problem for us to place first . I don’t even feel any pressure dealing with these opponents . ”
Mo Ka said excitedly on their way back to the dormitory . The entire group of males agreed wholeheartedly with what he said .
“We were just lucky . Out of all the classes with New Student Kings, we have only encountered class 21 . Moreover, Hu Xian’er wasn’t around today . On top of that, do you really think that the two representatives they sent today had truly shown their true strength?”
Hit by the harsh truth, the males were all stunned .
“What do you mean?”
“They are hiding their real strength . Their thinking is the same as ours . Therefore, never ever assume that this is an easy tournament until the end . ”
Then, Bai Xiaofei paused . On his solemn face, a trace of confidence surfaced . He continued, “However, the first place will definitely be ours . ”
