Chapter 196 Defeating You in Your Area of Expertise
Everyone thought after Ran Jun revealed his ninth-level Qi Sea Stage strength, everything would be settled.
After all, only traditional and famous schools had the right to participate in the championship battle. Chu Yunfan, who had made his way to this stage, should already be at his limit.
“Ninth level of the Qi Sea Stage? There are a lot of outstanding students from High this year” Mr. Lin said with a smile, “The quality of the students is getting better and better. In the past, such students were rare even in the focus high schools of Donghua City!”
“That’s true. The students of this generation eat well and practice well. They’re much stronger,” Principal Tan said with a smile.
“Do you all think that the battle is over?”
Everyone assumed that Chu Yunfan had lost for sure. Only two people were still confident in him—one being Gao Hongzhi and the other Tang Siyu.
Gao Hongzhi still remembered how Chu Yunfan had defeated the leader of the Redback Jackals which was at the peak of the Qi Sea Stage.
“Admit defeat. It’s already good enough that you’ve fought me until now. It’s just a waste of time to continue.” After Ran Jun released his full strength, his strength and confidence rose to a higher level.
Having absolute confidence, he dismissed Chu Yunfan as a threat.
“This is more like it. If you hadn’t stopped your earlier tricks, I’d be disappointed,” Chu Yunfan said with a faint smile. His eyes darted around as he glanced at the crowd. “Do you all think that I’m going to lose?”
When the crowd heard Chu Yunfan’s words, they became a little interested. Was that not the outcome?
“Since you aren’t willing to admit defeat, I’ll beat you into admitting defeat!”
Ran Jun sneered and did not take Chu Yunfan’s threat to heart. To him, this was nothing
As soon as Ran Jun’s words fell, he charged out like a ferocious beast!
Quick!
Quick!
Quick!
He was now much faster than before. Now that he was no longer suppressing his strength, it was naturally much more tyrannical than before.
Bam!
Chu Yunfan suddenly stomped his foot and released the aura in his body in an instant. This dense True Energy instantly spread out and faced the now much stronger Ran Jun. His strength was not the slightest bit inferior.
Clang!
The saber and the long mace fiercely collided. Terrifying True Energy swept out and instantly turned into an energy wave that traveled in all directions.
“They’re evenly matched. How is this possible?” Everyone’s eyes widened as if they were in disbelief.
They thought that it would be a completely one-sided battle. But in reality, when they started fighting, the situation was evenly matched. Ran Jun had no way of obtaining the one-sided advantage that everyone had imagined
Yu Xinyuan could not help but go wide-eyed as well as if he was shocked that Chu Yunfan was still capable of this burst of strength.
“How is he doing this?” Ou Yang, who was similarly shocked, asked Tang Siyu who was sitting beside him.
Tang Siyu smiled and did not answer.
Gao Hongzhi chuckled and said, “This is not all Yunfan can do. He’s a true freak. This is just the beginning.
“All of you, open your eyes wide and watch!”
In the ring, Ran Jun’s movements were slightly sluggish because he had not managed to obtain the complete advantage that he had expected. On the contrary, Chu Yunfan was still able to block all of his attacks.
“After I’ve unleashed all my strength, you’re still able to block me. You should be proud of yourself,” Ran Jun said. He took a step forward and stabilized his body.
“However, the ensuing battle is not something that can be resolved by relying on petty tricks.”
“We’ll see,” Chu Yunfan said indifferently
“How dare you!”
Ran Jun attacked again. This time, True Energy seeped out of every pore on his body. His strength had truly risen to the pinnacle. His aura affected everyone. This True Energy was so dense that it was not just felt, but could even be seen by the naked eye.
Boom!
Ran Jun took a step forward. His body felt like a mountain that had come crashing down.
“Earth Breaker!”
The long mace in his hand smashed down. A loud sonic boom revealed just how terrifying this was.
Seeing this scene, even the expression on someone as strong as Yu Xinyuan changed slightly.
“Ran Jun had such a trick up his sleeve!”
The expressions on the faces of everyone sitting in the seats of No. 5 High changed. Only Tong Xinran remained calm, but her gaze was much more solemn than before.
“The thing you’re most proud of is your strength, right? Then I’ll crush all of your confidence in this aspect.” Chu Yunfan’s voice was still indifferent, but there was a hint of majesty in his voice that had never been heard before.
“The Slash That Cleaved the Land!”
Chu Yunfan was equally terrifying. The black torrent that was stirred up carried massive amounts of True Energy as it slashed down at the long mace.
Clang!
With a loud crack, the blade and mace collided again. No one knew how many times they had collided.
Voom!
The terrifying torrent of True Energy poured out. The crowd felt chills run down their spines as True Energy was released from both sides.
“I can understand how Ran Jun has such a level of True Energy, but how does Chu Yunfan have this as well? He’s only at the eighth level of the Qi Sea Stage. There should be a clear gap between him and Ran Jun!” The crowd looked at Chu Yunfan in disbelief. Chu Yunfan still showed no signs of running out of True Energy. Whether it was the amount of True Energy or recovery speed, Chu Yunfan was far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
“That was just the first slash. Now comes the second!”
The crowd was still immersed in the sound of the weapons colliding. Before they could react, Chu Yunfan proclaimed this in a clear voice. A black light accompanied his voice and slashed down at Ran Jun.
Clang!
Another blade attack, and yet another terrifying collision. However, the elite students saw the situation change before their eyes. It was easy to attack and defend. But now, the initiative to attack had already shifted from Ran Jun’s hands to Chu Yunfan.
“Third slash!”
Chu Yunfan’s voice sounded out once again. Following this blade attack, another shadow slashed down.
Clang! After this slash, Ran Jun, who was originally filled with an imposing aura and had displayed an extremely terrifying performance, began to show signs of weakness. He retreated and was forced backward by Chu Yunfan’s on-slaughter of slashes.
“Fourth slash!”
“Fifth slash!”
“Sixth slash!”
Chu Yunfan’s voice rang out clear and crisp as Ran Jun was forced to the edge of the ring.
