Chapter 0010 Challenge, let's go

When the bombardment ended, Nanxing's sword was already shattered, while Niu Qiansui's laser sword remained unscathed. However, those present did not believe that the pale-faced little tyrant would win, as the sword unexpectedly slipped from his hand, flickered a few times, and then automatically shut down

Pop, pop, pop, pop

William clearly recognized the visitor and took the backpack with a stern expression. His mother had said that one should never go against money, no matter what. After counting, he nodded at Nanxing, indicating fifty lizard teeth and soft skins, along with two large bottles of mud frog slime, the total value being considerable.

"Look quickly, it's Al, that battle maniac from Alexandria. Is he challenging Xuanyuan Nanxing? This is going to be a good show." Graduates who were resting nearby gathered around, forming layers of onlookers around the large tent. Some began to climb trees, as being high up allows for a better view!

"The Southern Star has emerged, and we have already counted; there are indeed as many as one hundred copies." William turned his head excitedly and shouted. In the many years since entering the academy, the past few days have been the most joyful, with significant gains every day

Hmph, Niu Qiansui, just by your name one can tell how arrogant you are. I know that you possess a robust physique and have enhanced sensory abilities, allowing you to fight even with your eyes closed; the night is as bright as day for you. It is precisely because of this formidable innate strength that you look down on everyone in the academy.

Four faint collision sounds echoed in the ear, and then Al floated backward, attempting to create distance from the opponent. However, Xuan Yuan Nan Xing relentlessly employed the most fundamental slashing technique, with the angle of his body tilting to an astonishing degree, appearing as if he were pursuing in mid-air amidst the swaying light and shadow

"Hmm, understood, give me another two minutes." Xuanyuan Nanxing was fully focused on modifying the captain's rescue mech. After all, Wilson's equipment could only accommodate one person, and there were still a large number of spaceship parts and remnants available from the *map* that could be utilized. Perhaps it would be possible to piece together equipment for two people.

The newcomer was quite straightforward, tossing over a backpack. On his fair face was a hint of disdain, and his neck was also very pale, with hands that were dazzlingly white. Upon closer inspection, one would notice that even his pupils emitted a white hue, which was very peculiar

"It is truly a matter of money. I will give you two hundred copies, but regardless of the outcome after the contest, please restore Lan Xinrui's reputation. You should clarify the whole situation in front of everyone; girls are very sensitive about their dignity." Zimei spoke softly, demonstrating a sense of refinement.

"Xuanyuan Nanxing, I can tell that you harbor resentment. Do you have a grudge against me?" Niu Qiansui's pupils dilated, resembling a venomous snake fixated on its prey

Hehe, it was about time to come out; there is no free lunch in this world, and even if there were, you wouldn't be able to get it. Follow the rules, one hundred portions of lizard teeth and soft skin, time is money, don't waste my time with idle chatter. Just kicked out a little loser, Nanxing is in a great mood

Buzz

What a grand display, did you hear that? Let Al wait for two minutes. The top student of this examination room, a mysterious hidden expert from the academy, who will prevail in their competition? More and more people are gathering, and some curious onlookers have even ignited a few bonfires.

Indeed! You have a grudge; you beat my roommate Jimmy to a pulp, and he lay there for more than half a month without daring to let his family know. Aren't you supposed to be the top bully in the academy? With graduation approaching, I have to stand up for my friend, at least a little. " As Nanxing spoke, he moved, taking a running start of several steps before leaping into the air, a buzzing sound already accompanying the draw of his sword

The onlookers couldn't help but gasp in shock; Al had actually unleashed four sword lights with a single strike. Could this be the most famous "Phantom of the Sword" from the Alexander family? To use such a powerful move right from the start, is there no mercy left for others?

"Alright, just make sure to speak clearly. Jimmy, give him the things. Being able to stand up for a brother still shows some conscience. Although I admit I can't win, how could I miss such a good opportunity to improve myself?" As Zi Mei spoke, he revealed his lightsaber, transforming into a shadow amidst the flickering lights, as if he had emerged from several campfires. A strong gust of wind swept by, and the trajectory of his movement was like sparks dancing.

"Who else will come out to challenge? Since we have a bit of time, let's resolve this quickly." Nanxing directly ignored Niu Qiansui, believing that teaching such a person a lesson might greatly benefit future growth. The outside world is far more brutal than the academy; if one wishes to dominate, they should be prepared for failure.

Before me was a pitch-black void, and the soles of shoes were approaching, unethically kicking against my nose—one kick, two kicks, three kicks, a total of over ten kicks. Only then did Nanxing feel a sense of relief as he floated down from the air.

Al remained silent, recalling the scene of the recent battle. The laser sword in Xuanyuan Nanxing's hand would always tremble slightly upon encountering an afterimage, and then instantly dismantle his attack. It seemed like a rather inconspicuous sword technique, yet it proved to be remarkably effective at that moment.

Is this how it is? I am merely familiar with it; I am not yet refined enough. Remember, if there is a chance in the future, I will challenge you again. Al turned and left; why stay? To continue fighting? I believe that even if I were to risk my life, the one standing in the arena at the end would not be me. Although the contest lasted no more than half a minute, it has already revealed many clues; not being able to match up is simply not being able to match up, and there is no room for any pretense.

You, how did you break the remnants of my sword

No one could imagine where a fourteen-year-old boy could possess such a fierce killing intent, not even Wilson, who was sitting not far away in a tree smoking, was taken aback, his gaze becoming somewhat eager

Is it necessary to continue competing? You must have been busy these days and have not adjusted to your best state. Overexerting yourself will only lead to a vicious cycle. Finding a place to get a good night's sleep now is much better than going back and forth with me

Come on! Don't waste our time. Nanxing did not use the Longxiang laser sword, but instead took out the assessment-specific laser sword, which still had a bit of energy left, enough to complete a match

Niu Qiansui widened his eyes in disbelief as the opponent crossed four to five meters in mid-air and instantly unleashed a beam of sword light. The azure sword light came swiftly and urgently, resembling an eagle soaring through the sky, or a shooting star, exuding an irresistible momentum. It was not surprising that the graduate had reached such a level and secured first place.

"Hey, rules, do you understand the rules?" William shouted loudly, the gatekeeper displaying his authority

It is quite simple. Although the Phantom of the Sword alternates between reality and illusion, making it difficult to defend against, it ultimately revolves around the concept of a "phantom." You have yet to grasp the principle behind this type of attack, and thus cannot achieve a seamless and effortless response. If a Level 3 Elite Soldier were to execute this strike, I fear I would meet a dire fate. When it comes to countering an attack, it is merely a matter of practice. Nanxing's expression was serious; given his current capabilities, he naturally could not compete with a Level 3 Elite Soldier, and a single fatal blow was highly likely. Since the other party inquired, he offered some guidance, which justified the challenge fee.

How can I not be hypocritical? Lan Xinrui wants to take my prey, so I impose a light punishment. Do I really have to spare her feelings?

When truly facing Xuanyuan Nanxing, Al instead restrained his aura and did not rush to take action. The Alexander family is passionate about combat, requiring each child to engage in battle during their holidays, thus their starting point is significantly higher than that of ordinary children. It is precisely because of this that a great doubt arose in his heart: what exactly is this guy on the opposite side? Being able to remain calm amidst the killing intent indicates that he is certainly not an ordinary opponent

A heavy sense of suffocation surged forward, and Nanxing felt an unusual astonishment. This Zimei was more formidable than the two in front of her; at such a young age, she likely possessed the potential to challenge a Level 2 Elite Soldier. Even without the enhancement of a Life Badge, she should have no problem dealing with a Level 1 Elite Soldier.

One must never underestimate certain sword techniques; when applied effectively, they can completely counter specific ultimate moves, even creating a situation akin to a conditioned reflex. As soon as the opponent employs the corresponding technique, one can instinctively counter it without a moment's thought, a phenomenon referred to as "familiarity with the technique."

I have arrived! With the sound of the voice, a figure emerged from the crowd, and it was none other than the previously encountered Zi Mei.

With a loud crash, the two struck fiercely, causing Al to fall to the ground. He took three large steps back, while Xuanyuan Nanxing gracefully landed on the ground, having already retracted the light of his sword

Boom, boom, boom

Al's gaze grew colder; he would not lack the composure to wait even two minutes. If the other party does not appear within two minutes, it can only mean that Xuanyuan Nanxing is a fraud. How could a mature oyster red eagle be so easily hunted? It should be that this fool William has been used by someone.

Killing intent is a kind of aura, akin to a tiger poised to pounce, causing timid animals to freeze in place. Humans can similarly generate killing intent; the more lives one takes, especially when slaying beings stronger than oneself, the more one hones this intent, becoming a warrior of iron and blood

"Uh, Xuanyuan Nanxing, you wait at https://m.hetushu.com, if I don't skin you alive, I would rather not take a bath and turn black from now on." Niu Qiansui covered his nose, blood flowing uncontrollably; such an injury could only be managed by a high-level bone recovery treatment device.

Nanxing gazed absentmindedly at Al's departing figure, suddenly recalling the young man's background. He thought to himself: "Indeed, he hails from the illustrious family of Alexandria on Galan Star. Graduating at this time, is he not destined to become a prominent new star of the Federation in the future? He is a decisive figure, and although we were once alumni, the disparity in our levels is vast. Even if we were fortunate enough to fight in the same town years later, I would not dare to acknowledge him. I never expected our paths to intersect today, and moreover, to have defeated him. It seems that fate has truly changed, becoming unrecognizable."

In a moment of haste, he drew his sword and executed three consecutive fierce strikes. At this time, the quality of the weapons became evident. Niu Qiansui's sword was borrowed from a familiar instructor, while Nan Xing consistently wielded the examination sword. The blade produced a multitude of sparks through friction, dazzling and brilliant.

Niu Qiansui was filled with a mix of shock and anger, his wrist still trembling from the force generated by the strikes. The opponent leaped into the air, clearly adding their own weight to the momentum of the sword strike, instantly doubling the power of the attack. What a cunning thought, what a formidable skill

"Hahaha, wonderful. Xuanyuan Nanxing, let me have a word with you, Niu Qiansui." The voice echoed within the venue, and suddenly, a figure shot over from the treetops not far away, moving with astonishing speed.

"Welcome." Nanxing brandished the Longxiang laser sword, and with this laser sword, he could unleash his full power. This would be the first time he wielded the Longxiang to demonstrate its might.

In fact, before two minutes had passed, Nanxing walked out, still wiping machine oil from his hands. Upon seeing the coldly menacing scar-faced youth, he couldn't help but be taken aback, and his expression soon turned serious.
