Chapter 398: One Punch
Translator: Udong Editor: EbonyFrost, Udong
Anger rose once again. Wei Buhuan thought he was going explode. "Right! I"m not what I used to be anymore. I"m more powerful and it"s my time now."
"Why do I need to be afraid of Linguan Skylan?" Thinking about this, Wei Buhuan puffed out his chest and in his gray eyes appeared provocation. "I have already mastered the Mutated Deform Warrior Power! Linguan Skylan? He doesn"t deserve to be my match."
"Thunder Lion King, I will find you another day..."
While before he finished the challenge, Linguan Skylan put up his pinkie and moved it back and forth.
What...Wei Buhuan gazed without exactly understanding what the man meant. "Is he suggesting that instead of the index finger, he could defeat me with the little finger this time?"
"Alright! Thunder Lion King! Look at me now! I"m not who I was a few years ago!" Wei Buhuan strode over to Qian Jin. "And today, I will show you how strong I am with this little boy!"
Hearing this, t.i.tan Tsemo tried to move while the warrior beside held him back, suggesting that Thunder Lion King Linguan Skylan was still here.
"Humph!" t.i.tan Tsemo retreated. To his surprise, Linguan Skylan folded both arms across his chest. It seemed that he cared nothing about this and he didn"t plan to intervene.
"Senior ... They ..."
"Punitive Expedition Academy cultivates only warriors!" In a cold tone, Linguan Skylan interrupted a warrior student who was about to speak up for Qian Jin. "If he is to be killed here, he would be wasting army provisions on Human-Demon Battlefront."
What? Many students felt sorry for Qian Jin. After all, Linguan Skylan was the most ent.i.tled one to intervene in this farce but he shall stick to the natural law promoted by the princ.i.p.al. There could be a homicide case here!
Wei Buhuan had a swift foot but the dance floor was, indeed, too s.p.a.cious. After several steps, he still didn"t reach his target. Instead, a smiley man with a folding fan in his hand stood in his way.
"Fu*k off..."
Wei Buhuan put on a fierce face but all at once, he was stunned on the spot.
Linguan Skylan, who had been sitting tight on the "VIP" seat, slightly readjusted his position. Warriors standing near him clearly heard a "Huh?" out of surprise and doubt.
Qian Jin frowned at the back Tence Matten. In just a moment the guy broke out a purely strong presence, which was definitely not the borderline product when warriors started their Warrior Power.
He was like a sleeping king who opened his eyes at that moment while his subjects lined up and knelt here, waiting to be executed!
Yes! It didn"t belong to a warrior! Qian Jin was intrigued! What was it, the breath that receded almost as quickly as it had come?
Wei Buhuan hesitated. He looked at Tence Matten and then suddenly chose to skirt around him. He kept walking while turning back to check up that man. The same question was written on his face. Why would there be fear on his mind when Tence Matten looked into his eyes?
Right! It was fear! Tence Matten had nothing like Thunder Lion King Linguan Skylan, who was too overbearing to reach. But the smiling young man here... People would involuntarily surrender to him!
Why? Why would it be like this? He was infuriated by the disturbance. He must kill that Qian Jin to vent his anger. Even he couldn"t kill him, he must disable him.
Otherwise, how could he establish himself in the academy in the future? Wei Buhuan took a sudden pause and the Warrior Power kept surging... Demon Fighter... Demon Capturer... Demon Slayer...
t.i.tan Tsemo had to admit that he was surprised. Wei Buhuan turned out to be a Level 9 Demon Slayer! With such strength, he could have absolutely made it better on the Hundred Battle Ranking List!
With anger mixing with Warrior Power, Wei Buhuan felt for the first time he had exceeded 100,000 cycles! Although he had not condensed the Golden Warrior Heart yet, he was absolutely stronger than an ordinary Level 9 Demon Slayer!
An invincible confidence fell upon Wei Buhuan. Suddenly, he went down on his stomach and his hands like a huge scorpion.
People were stunned by the attack! Braving the ground, his arms were completely stretched out. Technically speaking, his hands were supporting pillars but they seemed like a pair of claws that could initiate a frontal attack at any time.
He crawled on all fours but to the audience, he was like a scorpion with eight legs. Marching forward at a top speed, he made some hissing cries because of the friction against the floor. Like a real giant scorpion, he almost covered the entire ground.
The scene got on the surrounding spectators" nerves. It sounded like there had been thousands of scorpions gus.h.i.+ng forth from a desert. They just kept running to their preys.
A lot of warrior students were instantly stunned. Wei Buhuan was indeed worthy of his name. They would have thrown in the towel by now if they were Qian Jin.
The man lying on the ground moved so fast that in a blink of an eye, he stopped in front of Qian Jin. Suddenly the right leg that was hidden behind rose and fell like a scorpion tail. Curling up in a strange way, it aimed at Qian Jin"s head. The ferocious attack raised up a pungent wind. Instead of a solid leg, it looked more like a soft whip without bones.
All of a sudden Qian Jin had turned into prey. To the audience, it was too late for him to run.
While facing the weird and fierce attack, Qian Jin stayed there without batting an eye. He slightly bent his body as he flipped his fist. The fingers snapped while it crashed against the sole like a scorpion tail.
"Humph...You have found this on your own." A hideous sneer showed up there on Wei Buhuan"s face! After the practice of numerous days, his toenails had already been hardened like iron and steel! The poison on them was cold enough to freeze the energy connections and kill the opponent all at once.
Bang! Bones. .h.i.t muscles like heavy objects falling onto the ground! Warrior Power splashed. Suddenly the shoe of Wei Buhuan was torn into pieces, revealing his disgusting black toenails.
Crack! A broken sound was heard! But no one could tell it was from Qian Jin or Wei Buhuan. Out of surprise and doubt, Linguan Skylan seemed surprised as well.
It hurt! The ferocious expression suddenly changed. Severe pain burst out from Wei Buhuan"s ankle. Before he could react, Mutated Deform Warrior Power began scurrying about inside his body like an erupting volcano. Had Qian Jin laid hundreds of traps on him?
Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!...
Hundreds of holes the size of a finger exploded on Wei Buhuan"s body. Blood gushed like a fountain. Before he had a chance to step back, Qian Jin initiated the second strike and hit him right in the chest. Crack... The ribs were all broken! Wei Buhuan was tossed back almost ten meters, leaving a long bloodstain on the ground.
Latent Thunder!
Staring stonily at the man who wanted to kill him, Qian Jin asked the spectators in a cold tone. "Could anyone tell me, am I now the 40th on Hundred Battle Ranking List?"
"Is this..."
Finally, Linguan Skylan who had stayed calmer than others spoke slowly and carefully... And finally, he decided to stand up.
Slowly enough, he turned around, looking over to the dance floor, where a battle had begun and finished in such a short moment.
The iron body of t.i.tan Tsemo was also trembling. He suddenly stood up and looked at the victor on the dance floor.
Only Tence Matten kept smiling to Qian Jin just as he had from the beginning. But no one knew the significance of that smile.
The top 100 could hardly sit still anymore. Together with other warriors and mages, they were all staring blankly at Wei Buhuan who lied lifeless there. The music had stopped a long time ago. The only sound they could hear now was the blood bubbling out from the holes on the victim"s body.
It took Qian Jin just a punch to conquer the 40th... No... t.i.tan Tsemo shook his head as he clenched his carrot-like fingers into a fist! With what he had shown just now, he was at least the top 20.
He had been hiding his strength all this time. Looking at the man moaning on the ground, t.i.tan Tsemo couldn"t help but feel sorry for him. He could have moved up in the standings but he didn"t. Having fought off all the temptations, he must have planned to rock the whole academy in the future.
Unfortunately... t.i.tan Tsemo turned his eyes to Qian Jin. Wei Buhuan was not lucky enough. He had picked someone better, someone, who had hidden even better.
Even if Hu Ge, who ranked 19th, had a long shot against Wei Buhuan. Even he made it, it must be a hard-fought win, which was completely different from this fight. Qian Jin had done it with just one punch!
Shaking the fan as leisurely as he could, Tence Matten looked at the b.l.o.o.d.y scene with the usual smile as if he had been used to it. There was no need to make a fuss.
"Interesting!" Tence Matten measured Qian Jin with curiosity and said, "Qian Jin, you are stronger than I thought."
t.i.tan Tsemo nodded in approval. This young man here was oddly strong. He had never known the Punitive Expedition Academy could cultivate such a warrior. It was nothing else than fine to take him as a retinue...
Wei Buhuan was seriously wounded by just one punch! How powerful that warrior was. Everyone at the party was stunned. They couldn"t believe their eyes.
