Vol 1, Chapter 32: Strike
TL: G.o.dspell
Above the arena, w.a.n.g Xiaoqi and the other disciples are loudly cheering.First, they were only a small group, but because Zhuo Yifeng is going to fight first, all disciples are going all out to cheer for him.
The beard black headteacher w.a.n.g Juefeng looked one at Ding Hao, he seems to be pondering about something but a deep smile is flashing in his eyes, then with a shrug, he allowed Zhuo Yifeng to go in arena, and signaling all the others in the arena to make s.p.a.ce for Ding Hao and Zhuo Yifeng.
The tournament now had begun.
"Brat, hurry up and admit your defeat, later on, don’t tell me I had not warned if I had accidentally wounded you in the fight." As Zhuo Yifeng stepped into the arena, he did not even bother to pay any attention to Ding Hao, just coldly smiled and uttered these words.
His rank is No.107th on the overall ranking list, but he is still below Ding Hao, but he had always felt that the ranking of the sect examination, is incompatible with individual strength of each person, only those who had entered in the top 50, are the embodiment of real strength, therefore he had challenged Ding Hao first.
Without any expression, Ding Hao from his waist draws out his long-rusted sword.
After one had become a registered disciple, a weapon and a set of clothes will be provided by the Inquiring Sword Sect. Moreover, the quality of the steel sword issued by the sect is extremely good, as if it is crafted by the hands of a master craftsman, if one tries to buy it from outside then it will mainly cost more than thousand gold tales.
But he can’t understand one thing, why Ding Hao always brought that rusted sword with him all around the sect, the hilt of the sword simply looks like as if picked up from the garbage heap, moreover this rusted sword is clearly inferior to the sword issued by the Sect.
His sword handle is completely filled with rust and the sword body is also stained with rust, looking at the sword it appears it will momentarily break at any time, its looks are also very bad so bad that it seemed like a fire-stick without any life sign.
Ding Hao pull out his rusted sword and immediately a loud burst of relentless and ridicule laughing resonated out in the pavilion.
Especially, w.a.n.g Xiaoqi and his gang, are constantly laughing madly to create a large disturbance.
"A Sword with a broken hilt, and dare to take me as an opponent? To tell you the truth, it"s my shame to fight with an opponent like you, I simply cannot understand how the h.e.l.l did you rank at the top 100th place." Zhuo Yifeng continues to ridiculed Ding Hao while standing in the arena and coldly smiled and said: "You can make the first move, I will withstand your first three moves without fighting back so as later to avoid saying behind my back that I had bullied the weak."
Ding Hao also not to say anything to this point just simply nodded: "OK."
His voice had not fallen.
!!!!!!!
Suddenly a red glow burst out from the hands of Ding Hao.
Using his [Wild Goose Step] and with his rusted sword like lightning, he projects a ma.s.s of red glowing beams around him.
In fact, [Cross Quick Sword] is his first move, a very common technique in the Inquiring Sword Sect.
However, when Ding Hao executes this move, it has a special kind of tyrannical bearing, a very deadly aura is emitting from his body like a raging beast, if one had not observed quickly he will not be able to doge in an instance of time.
Zhuo Yifeng had become greatly shocked.
Without enough time, the arrogant smile on his face had yet to dispersed, inconceivable only in an instance of time he was barely able to lift his hand holding his sword to block the upcoming sword attack.
clang!
An explosive sound of metal colliding shook everybody’s ear making them completely numb.
The next moment, Zhuo Yifeng only felt as if he was struck by a war hammer, a very formidable strength, colliding with the body of his sword and then along with his hand holding the sword instantaneously felt a giant shock, making him lose his grip on the sword hilt.
Peng!
His smiling face becomes solidified, Zhuo Yifeng along with his sword like a broken kite dropped on the ground of the arena, making him mercilessly smashed on the stone pavement of the arena.
The previous noisy martial pavilion suddenly had become very quiet, the sounds of grasping one’s breath are resonated around the whole pavilion.
Strong!
Too strong!
Inconceivable!
An instant kill!
All disciples in the pavilion simply were unable to respond throughout the whole fight, above the arena, w.a.n.g Xiaoqi and other disciples are all still smiling like before the fight, in a blink of an eye, they are still not able to understand actually what happened, is the battle over just like this.
Zhuo Yifeng had completely become a laughingstock.
A couple of days ago he had boasted everywhere, that he is one of the top ten strongest disciples in the entire East River Bank.
But in front of Ding Hao, he was not even able to fight back ﹍﹍
All the disciples are now even afraid to look at Ding Hao on the arena, they are very shocked, that sword technique, is this the true strength of the top 100 disciples in the overall list?
A fire-stick-like rusted sword but in his hands, simply is a divine weapon.
And now n.o.body dares to laugh at Ding Hao’s weapon again.
Strong!
After reacting to what was going on, w.a.n.g Xiaoqi and his group of people almost fell on the ground.
The mocking smile on their face has already disappeared, each and everyone’s mouths are hanging wide open such that now an egg of a big duck can be stuffed, all of them are staring at each other with wide eyes.
"You had launched a sneak attack on me ﹍﹍ despicable!"
Filled with dirt Zhuo Yifeng crawls back up from the ground, he roared madly with a flushed face.
He is unable to accept evidently that he was easily defeated in a single sword move by Ding Hao.
In his opinion, Ding Hao is an extremely despicable fellow using his extremely fast movement technique, he had launched a sneak attack on him, if he had fight back, then he will have never lost so miserably.
He had actually forgotten, that he was the one who had asked Ding Hao to launch first three attacks.
"Come Again, I refused to accept this, I must fight with you again﹍" saying this Zhuo Yifeng jumped back in the arena.
"There is no need."The beard head teacher w.a.n.g Juefeng is wickedly smiling like before, suddenly has stood up, raising his hand, a formidable strength burst out from his hand, preventing Zhuo Yifeng to move, then shook his head and said: "Forget it, do not need to continue being a disgrace here, you from the start is not an opponent of this kid Ding Hao."
"Impossible, just now he had sneak-attacked me ﹍﹍ " Zhuo Yifeng raged in madness.
"Still struggling until last minute, little b.a.s.t.a.r.d, look down on your chest." the beard head teacher said in a mocking tone.
Zhuo Yifeng is startled, lowers his head to look at his chest, immediately his face had a big change as if he had seen a ghost.
He does not know when, on his chest, a cross cut marked appear on the Cyan Robes that he was wearing, following had revealed a white garment underneath it. This cross cut is at the side of his heart, clearly, it had appeared when he had fought just a moment ago, it means Ding Hao had precisely made a cut not too deep by his fast sword on his chest.
And from beginning to finish, Zhuo Yifeng had not realized at all that he was done already by that sword move.
If Ding Hao had just used a little bit of strength, then the cut perhaps not on his robes but will be on his heart. 、
Drops of cold sweat suddenly started to profusely drop from the forehead of Zhuo Yifeng.
"I ﹍﹍ I ﹍﹍ I lost." Zhuo Yifeng face had become very pale, lowering his head he admits his defeat.
And then, he raised his head again, he had gradually calmed down, staring at Ding Hao, he earnestly said: "Today I had lost, you are stronger than me, but, this is just the beginning, one day, I will become stronger and I will again stand in this arena and will challenge you once again."
After that, he performed the ritual for admitting his defeat, then turned around and went back to before he was seating.
Ding Hao nodded: "Good, I am always waiting for you."
Originally this fellow was really arrogant, first he had given him three moves, after losing he said to Ding Hao that he had launched a sneak attack, everybody has regarded him as a very arrogant fellow, but at the end, after Zhuo Yifeng had calmed down, frankly admits his defeat, he still his fighting spirit like before, such performance, let Ding Hao and the other disciples in the arena for this guy, see him in a different light.
