The Hooligan in Another World

Chapter 84 Hotlist of the Championship

“Assassination arts? That’s the true path of combat. When you attack, it’ll be a fatal blow. If you miss, you’ll have to retreat. If it’s survival or close combat, Zhou Guangwu won’t be a match for him. But in such a competition, a head-on clash isn’t something assassination arts specialize in. However, it’ll be very difficult for Zhou Guangwu to win,” muttered Lin Feng.

Xu Ruokong’s footsteps wandered and his eyes stared at Zhou Guangwu. Zhou Guangwu felt a chill in his heart and didn’t dare to rashly attack. The fellow in front of him was too ruthless. If he were to be hit by the curved blade, the consequences would be dire. Therefore, he had to be extremely cautious. Once he couldn’t suppress his weakness, then he would have to face Xu Ruokong’s fatal attack. Although there was a rule in the competition that prohibited killing, if Xu Ruokong were to deal a heavy blow or two to him, wouldn’t he be the one to suffer?

As for his trump card, it was not the right time to use it now. It was the asset for him to fight for the championship. If he used it now, it would be difficult for him to face Guan Canglan and Divine Academy's opponents, so he did not dare to use it now.

Neither Xu Ruokong nor Zhou Guangwu dared to make a move easily.

As a result, the two of them were deadlocked. Although their Combat Qi weren’t exhausted, the two of them were highly focused. It wasn’t as if the two of them, who didn’t have strong enough mental energy, could handle it. In just a moment, they began to sweat profusely.

Xu Ruokong’s stamina wasn’t as good as Zhou Guangwu’s, and fighting head on wasn’t his forte either. Gradually, he couldn’t hold on any longer and took in a deep breath. His feet staggered and he charged towards Zhou Guangwu.

Zhou Guangwu brandished his broadsword, not daring to approach Xu Ruowu. That move earlier was enough to scare him out of his wits.

Facing Zhou Guangwu’s tight defense, Xu Ruokong did not have the chance to attack. A head-on collision was not Xu Ruokong’s forte. He could only helplessly start to revolve around Zhou Guangwu. As long as Zhou Guangwu revealed the slightest flaw, Xu Ruokong would unleash a blade.

Zhou Guangwu cursed in his heart. He didn’t understand why such a monster would appear. This method of battle was too shameless. As long as he couldn’t defend himself, that unpredictable saber would slice open his body.

“Your nomianl disciple isn’t anything special. He can’t even assassinate an opponent with such an advantage on the battlefield. I wonder why you choose him,” said Hai Tianlan.

“Yes, I’m a bit stupid. There’s nothing I can do about it. I can’t not take a disciple. If I leave, my efforts will come to an end.” Lei Tianyu was helpless and had no way to retort. Zhou Guangwu’s display in this battle had been too sullen.

Failing to take down Xu Ruokong, Zhou Guangwu became a little anxious. If he couldn’t even take down such a battle, what point was there in talking about becoming the champion of his grade?

With a shake of his arms, the Combat Qi passed down in his family poured into the huge sword in his hand. Instantly, the broadsword emitted a golden light. Lin Feng recognized that this was the combat skill that Zhou Guangwu used last time.

With the outbreak of his Combat Qi, Zhou Guangwu roared and slashed his sword towards Xu Ruokong.

Seeing Zhou Guangwu use a combat skill, Xu Ruokong’s expression changed. Not everyone had a combat skill. Only aristocratic family that possessed a certain level of strength could learn a combat skill. War Tiger Academy’s combat skill learning had its own standards. Some people hadn’t learned a combat skill even after becoming a Combat General.

As for Xu Ruokong, he was one of those people. Although he had combat skills, he didn’t dare to use them here. Back when he had gone out to temper himself, the person who had left behind the combat skills had told him not to use them until he reached the Combat King level. Seeing Zhou Guangwu’s sword slash toward him, he had to step aside.

It had to be said that at this moment, it showed that Zhou Guangwu had the advantage in terms of strength. Under the pressure of Zhou Guangwu’s combat skill, although Xu Ruokong was quickly dodging, the situation was extremely precarious.

Xu Ruokong also understood. He snorted helplessly, jumped out of the field, and admitted defeat.

Seeing Xu Ruokong’s defeat, Lin Feng could only helplessly shake his head and sit down.

Next was Guan Canglan’s turn. With his fast sword techniques, he did not need to use any combat skills to easily defeat his opponent. Lin Feng could not be bothered to watch the rest of the battles as he racked his brains for ways to rope in the brat who was proficient in assassination. If they were to march into battle, a scout like him would definitely be the best spy in the army.

Lastly, it was Guan Canglan and Zhou Guangwu who were vying for the champion spot. Lin Feng had originally thought that there would be a fierce battle between dragons and tigers. However, it turned out that it was not the case. Zhou Guangwu had directly surrendered the moment he had stepped onto the stage. This was a surprise to Lin Feng. Why had this Zhou Guangwu suddenly given up?

Nalan Yunjie turned to Lin Feng and said, "I understand. Zhou Guangwu's goal is not to be the champion of Class Five. Now he is hiding his strength in the ranking battles and planning to compete for a higher score in the competition between the two academies."

“How do you know?” Asked Lin Feng in a soft voice as he looked around.

Nalan Yunjie said, “The Zhou Family has three great techniques. The first is the Golden Light Sword that can be cultivated when one is a Combat Soldier. The second is the Cold Light Sword that can only be cultivated at Combat General level. The third is only cultivated when one reaches the Combat King level. It is impossible for Zhou Guangwu to not know the second technique, but from start to finish, he has never used it. This means that he is hiding his strength with an unknown purpose.”

“With regards to Canglan and the talents of the Divine Academy, I think it will be very difficult for him to become the champion of Class five. He did not use his full strength, and Guan Canglan is the same.” Lin Feng analyzed and came to this conclusion.

“Perhaps.” Nalan Yunjie glanced at Guan Canglan and said.

After the selections for Class Five were over, Lin Feng stood up. Lin Feng was a little bored watching today’s battle. Other than Xu Ruokong’s assassination technique, Lin Feng was quite surprised. Lin Feng did not gain much, only having some understanding of the Zhou Family’s three great combat skills.

Lin Feng got up and returned to his residence, focusing on studying magic. He could not cast it and could only draw out movements. Hence, Lin Feng decided to disperse it with spiritual force.

If this were to be seen by Old Paul or the Magic Mentors of the Divine Academy, it would be shocking. It should be known that casting magic might be easy, but controlling magic without attacking and dissipating after casting it would be much more difficult. However, Lin Feng did not know and thought it was no big deal.

What Lin Feng was most satisfied with was that he mastered a rank five magic spell that he needed most before the competition between the two academies.

After the disciples scattered, Lei Tianyu followed Lin Feng to his residence. He wanted to know what Lin Feng was thinking, whether or not Lin Feng needed him to be his master, he needed his disciples to inherit his martial arts.

Hai Tianlan blocked Lei Tianyu’s path in a flash. “What are you doing? The competition between the two academies is about to begin, don’t affect our disciples’ mood. Can you take responsibility if anything happens?”

“Alright, then let’s wait until that stupid competition is over. Don’t follow me, as if I can be a thief.” Lei Tianyu glared at Hai Tianlan. He was dissatisfied with him following closely behind.

“I’ll follow you while you’re in the academy. You won’t be a thief, but you’ll steal a person.” Hai Tianlan raised his chin at Lei Tianyu.

“What nonsense are you spouting? You’re the thief! Your whole family is stealing! You bast*rd, if you keep insulting me like this, we’ll have a fight!” Lei Tianyu was enraged. He was a Combat God yet was called as a thief.

“I didn’t insult you, you should leave. I’m not interested in a duel. I am not as free as you.” Hai Tianlan said huffily.

“Hai Tianlan, after all these years, you’re still as dislikable as ever.” Lei Tianyu waved his sleeve and left.

Lei Tianyu was gone. The more Hai Tianlan thought about it, the less he liked him. How was he so distasteful? “Lei Tianyu, you bast*rd, stop right there. Tell me what happened today.” Hai Tianlan stood up and chased after him.

Fortunately, the two of them were far away from the crowd, otherwise they wouldn't have spoken like that.

Lin Feng had no idea that if Hai Tianlan hadn’t stopped Lei Tianyu, the latter would have charged in and ruined his secret.

As for the competition tomorrow, Lin Feng no longer had much interest in it. Today, he had already watched the battles of Class 5 and understood a principle. All those who had ulterior motives hid themselves well.

Guan Canglan and Zhou Guangwu were living examples, so Lin Feng felt that it was more important to mature his own magic combat skills.

As for the ultimate technique that would suddenly explode in battle, it could only be learned to adapt to the situation. When others used it, he would also use it. Lin Feng didn’t believe that he was inferior to them.

Now the competition between the two academies was going on in Capital City. Everyone was speculating who would get the position of the young general.

The most popular candidates were the Divine Academy's Mu Le Paul and War Tiger Academy's Zhao Xuan. Some casinos had even opened bets.

If Lin Feng found out, he would bet on himself to be the black horse.

Lin Feng became engrossed in his cultivating the moment he started. He did not go to watch the the competition on the second day. Regarding Lin Feng’s absence, Mo’er, Helian Zhan and the others were curious as to why Lin Feng did not come to watch.

“Mentor, why isn’t Lin Feng here? Is there something wrong?” Mo’er was a little worried.

"No, because Lin Feng doesn't think today's battle needs to be watched." Nalan Yujie somewhat understood Lin Feng's thoughts. Because Nalan Yujie also felt that she couldn't see through the real level of this preliminary. Some people were holding their cards and planned to break out in the competition between the two academies, so that it would be difficult to guard against.

"Mentor, I don't understand. Why is there no need to watch?" Mo'er shook her head, puzzled by Nalan Yunjie's words.

Nalan Yunjie stared at Mo’er and asked, “Do you think they have showed all their strength now?”

“I don’t think so, Senior Guan didn’t use his signature skill yesterday.” After thinking, Mo’er realized something.

“Rather than watching a hypocritical duel, it would be better to cultivate. I understand what Lin Feng is thinking,” Helian Zhan said.
