Chapter 498: Fight Until You Submit
“Ah!”
“Ah!”
“Ah!”
With each jab by Sean, it elicited a sharp scream from the other side. She held the sword in her right hand, using her left hand only to block. Unfortunately, she had two vulnerable spots in front of her. As soon as she covered the left side, Sean would jab the right side. If she covered the right side, darn it, Sean would sneakily attack the left. Sean’s speed was incredible. Though he had only one scabbard, it seemed to be in his hand. Each successive jab felt like a violent storm, unstoppable!
Quickly, the opponent couldn’t withstand Sean’s fierce attacks, backing away continuously. Meanwhile, Sean became more aggressive, as if he had become addicted to jabbing, relentlessly pressing forward. This scene dumbfounded the old folks and the surrounding academy disciples watching from the observation platform.
“Damn it! Isn’t this too shameless???”
The girl had extraordinary talent and a good figure. She had quite a few admirers within the academy, regarding her as their goddess. Now, they watched their goddess publicly humiliated by “Great Ape,” almost being jabbed into a dragon fruit. The admirers couldn’t bear it and rashly rushed towards the arena, wanting to play the hero.
However, as they rushed halfway, the girl had already been forced by Sean to the edge of the arena, her chest aching terribly, almost crying on the spot. All she could do was grit her teeth and shout, “Rogue, stop it!”
“I surrender!”
“Why won’t you accept my surrender!!!”
Surrendered… Who could have imagined that the proud daughter of the Plainwater Town branch, a remarkable sword practitioner standing out among many academy disciples, one of the six mid-stage practitioners of dark energy at the main institute in the imperial capital, and the only disciple, would actually be forced to surrender by “Great Ape” with a scabbard?
“Aren’t you going to fight anymore?”
Only then did Sean stop his attacks. Seeing the opponent’s embarrassed and tearful expression, he awkwardly smiled, then handed over the scabbard. He teased, “Miss, are you satisfied with my advice just now?”
Advice? Ha!
“You!!!” Tears swirling in her eyes, she fiercely glared at Sean, gritting her teeth, “Bastard! Rogue! You wait for me! I… I won’t let you off!”
After saying this, she didn’t reach for the scabbard Sean offered. Instead, with a loud clatter, she directly slammed her sword onto the arena floor, freeing her right hand, holding her chest with both hands, turned and fled from the arena like a frightened mouse!
Fight? What fight? No more fighting!
Sword? What’s the use? Don’t need it anymore!
Seeing this, those admirers who rushed over stood stunned, glancing at Sean, then at the pitiful figure of the girl. Some were about to jump onto the platform to avenge her, but suddenly someone loudly shouted, “Are you okay? I have medicine here!”
Saying this, they directly went after her!
Damn! The others were dumbfounded. They thought, “You dog! We were about to duel ‘Great Ape,’ and here you are trying to comfort her and win her favor?”
Shameless!
So, without needing to discuss, they also went after them, each faster than the last!
Medicine? Who doesn’t have it!
Sean turned to look at Chan and the other three standing on the other side of the arena, shaking his head. “A protracted battle is too inefficient. I’m pressed for time. Why don’t you all come at me together!”
Come at me!
Before defeating Ken and the opponent, everyone regarded his arrogant words as mere boasting, dismissively so. However, after two battles, his terrifying strength made everyone reassess their previous attitudes. They dared not underestimate this “arrogant” and “shameless” guy again!
So, those three academy disciples looked at Chan! Clearly, as long as Chan nodded, they didn’t mind joining forces with him to confront Sean!
“Go ahead!”
Unfortunately, Chan didn’t nod. Instead, he shook his head, then looked at Sean and coldly said, “Your strength is indeed formidable. However, as I’ve said, facing you, I alone am enough. You are not worthy of me teaming up with them!”
Chan acknowledged Sean’s strength, yet he still didn’t waver in his strong self-confidence!
Those three academy disciples were left feeling awkward! They had been rejected by Chan!
“Attack!”
With gritted teeth, they didn’t insist. In this entire institute’s martial arts competition, they represented the honor of the Plainwater Town branch. If the three of them combined couldn’t defeat Sean, how would they face the elite disciples from the other seventeen branches?
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! The three of them transformed into three fleeting shadows, charging directly at Sean!
At this moment, Sean also stepped forward, meeting them head-on!
However, Sean’s target was Chan, completely ignoring the three. As a result, with a bang, accompanied by a piercing explosion, a single punch sent one of them flying on the spot!
Bang! Bang! Sean walked and fought, fought and walked, never once stopping his steps. In just over ten seconds, the three academy disciples fell one after the other, bleeding and fainting, losing their ability to fight!
“Come on!”
Standing only a dozen meters away from Chan, Sean finally stopped, locking eyes with Chan and saying in a deep voice, “Let’s see how many moves you can withstand in my hands!”
Chan was confident, and so was Sean.
“Pass the knife!”
Suddenly, Mr. Sun from the observation platform threw a cold iron dagger at Sean. Chan’s weapon was a knife, and Sean had mentioned earlier that he used to use a knife too!
This time, Sean didn’t refuse! After all, Chan’s combat prowess was in a completely different league from that of the previous girl. His speed, knife skills, and even his realm were enough to make Sean take it seriously!
A knife! Since the Wolf’s Massacre and the confrontation with King Ron in ashes, Sean hadn’t forged a new divine weapon for himself!
The Wolf’s Massacre had followed Sean on the northern battlefield for several years, earning Sean the title of “General Wolf of the North.” It was no exaggeration to say that it was inseparable from Sean. Sean had deep feelings for it!
Half a year later, Sean once again held the cold iron dagger that Mr. Sun had thrown to him. Though also made of frigid iron from the snowy region, heavy and extremely sharp, in Sean’s eyes, it was different from the Wolf’s Massacre; it was just a weapon!
Whoosh! Chan, a man of few words, almost as soon as Sean caught the cold iron dagger, made his move. He struck first, his figure flashing as he rushed toward Sean, his speed so fast that it was almost impossible to see his movements!
In just a few dozen meters, in the blink of an eye!
The next moment, the glint of the knife and the lingering afterimages, the two of them seemed like two streaks of light. One moment they were at one end of the arena, the next they were at the other, only then did the arena’s diameter, reaching a hundred meters, show its usefulness!
The arena was too small; it couldn’t contain their battle!
The large martial arts arena, with hundreds of people gathered, suddenly fell silent. Everyone stared wide-eyed at the middle of the arena. Only the clashing of blades reverberated in the air, particularly jarring!
The surrounding academy disciples couldn’t see the details of the fight at all. They prayed silently, hoping that Chan would win, that he could salvage the last vestiges of honor for the Plainwater Town branch!
On the contrary, whether it was Hastiff on the observation platform, the elders, or the instructors, Sean’s strength had surprised them greatly. They hoped that this time, Sean would win! It wasn’t that they didn’t care about the honor of the Plainwater Town branch; rather, they cared too much. Only if Sean defeated Chan could he represent the Plainwater Town branch and achieve better results in the institute-wide martial arts competition ten days later, truly bringing honor to the Plainwater Town branch!
“Headmaster!”
When the duel reached the seventh move, Mr. Sun couldn’t help but turn his head to look at Hastiff, quietly asking, “Who do you think… will win between the two of them?”
Their eyes were sharp, their realms profound. In a mid-stage dark energy duel, every detail was easily discernible!
“The outcome is not in doubt.”
Hastiff shook his head, not looking at Mr. Sun, his serious gaze carrying a hint of excitement as he continued to focus on Sean and Chan in the arena. He murmured, “The suspense lies in how many moves it will take to determine the winner.”Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
“Oh?”
Mr. Sun was taken aback, suddenly realizing!
Boom! When the duel reached the sixteenth move, a deafening explosion was suddenly heard, followed by the sound of two whooshes!
Both Sean and Chan, who had been entangled the whole time, finally separated. One went left, the other went right, moving in opposite directions. In an instant, they appeared at the two ends of the arena, standing back to back, ceasing their battle!
A gasp arose from the crowd. The academy disciples couldn’t help but whisper among themselves. It looked like the duel had ended!
So… who won? Who lost? The academy disciples still couldn’t tell. However, the old folks on the observation platform all stood up simultaneously. Clearly, they had discerned the outcome!
A moment later, with a light clink, Chan sheathed his precious knife, then wiped his neck. When he lowered his hand, a faint trace of blood stained his index finger.
“Impressive,” Chan said without turning around, his tone still icy. “If this were a fight to the death, I would have perished by your blade by now.”
“Thus,” he continued, “you win. I’ve never submitted to anyone, but now, I do!”
Having said this, he strode off the arena, not looking back, and left the martial arts arena. Amid the bewildered gazes of the surrounding academy disciples, he quickly disappeared from view!
