Chapter 123 Chapters 109-110: Clash of Strengths_2
"Sweat..." Watching the shimmering boomerang in the examiner's hand, everyone immediately shut their mouths. Even if they ran a hundred meters, what would it matter? With the examiner's strength, he could definitely defeat them in a second, and this time it was supposed to draw blood.
With a sneer, the examiner turned around and looked at Xin Yun a hundred meters away. "Kid, have you made up your mind? If you're going to keep such a distance, I'll have to launch a long-range strike!"
Standing there calmly, Xin Yun took a deep breath and nodded silently. "Alright, Mr. Examiner, I am ready. The assessment can begin at any time!"
Responding to Xin Yun's voice, the examiner turned his head and said to the students on the side of the arena, "Alright, who will come out and act as a referee for us and give the command?"
Hearing this, Yi Luo Xiang was the first to jump out before anyone else reacted, her voice crisp, "Then I'll give the command. But, Mr. Examiner, before the competition starts, shouldn't you put away the boomerang? That would be fair."
Hearing Yi Luo Xiang's words, the examiner smiled and slid the boomerang back into the sheath on his waist, leaning his body slightly forward, right hand placed in front of his chest, ready to attack at any moment.
For a moment, the entire field fell silent. Under everyone's anticipation, Yi Luo Xiang's crisp voice rang out, "Alright, both sides, be alert. Begin... fight!"
Accompanied by the clear cry of battle, in the next moment... Xin Yun and the examiner almost moved at the same time, a horizontally spinning boomerang and a straight spinning boomerang axe, almost simultaneously unsheathed, whistling and tumbling towards their respective targets.
Like lightning, almost at the same instant he released the spinning axe, Xin Yun sidestepped swiftly, dodging to one side, while at the same time, the whizzing boomerang almost grazed past his right ribcage.
While sidestepping, Xin Yun's right hand returned to the outside of his right thigh. With a hook and a flick, the second boomerang axe spiraled out. Meanwhile, across from him, the examiner also placed his hand on his waist again. With a fierce upward swing, a brilliant Mang whistled towards Xin Yun.
"Ting Ting Ting..." For a time, Xin Yun and the examiner moved simultaneously, continuously launching boomerangs and boomerang axes from their hands. The weapons they fired collided in mid-air and then bounced back to their owners.
In the arena, Xin Yun lunged forward forcefully, swinging his right hand with the momentum of his charge, releasing a boomerang axe that spun from slow to fast. At the same time, with the forward motion of his body, two boomerangs successively spun from behind him, nearly skimming over Xin Yun's scalp, flying back toward the examiner.
Both the boomerang and the boomerang axe were not just capable of a single attack. Under skilled control, they could be used for a secondary attack. Both their outgoing and returning paths could inflict massive damage on the enemy.
At first, the examiner remembered this was just a test, and he shouldn't take the students' lives. But as the battle continued and grew more intense, he unconsciously entered a combat state, subconsciously unleashing all his techniques, forgetting everything else.
At this moment, Xin Yun was in grave danger. If he were unable to dodge in time, the consequences might not be as the examiner said, merely leaving him crippled—it was very possible his head could be severed, dead beyond death.
However, Xin Yun felt no fear towards this danger. Just like the examiner, he had also entered a state of combat, his mind nothing but the opponent before him.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
For a time, blades whistled through the arena, cold flashes of light zipped frantically between them, occasionally clashing together, sparking bright fire, and in the blink of an eye... both had completed a round of attacks, Xin Yun with seven boomerang axes, and the examiner with seven boomerangs.
Seeing that the second round of attack was about to begin, Yi Luo Xiang finally came back to her senses and shouted loudly, "That's enough, the match is over, both sides stop immediately!"
Hearing Yi Luo Xiang's crisp cry, Xin Yun and the examiner snapped out of it almost at the same time. Xin Yun didn't care much, as he was very unsatisfied with his performance, but given the results of the battle, it was marginally acceptable.
It should be known that although Xin Yun's axe technique was exquisite, far beyond the examiner's, one shouldn't forget that Xin Yun's current strength was no longer at the diamond tier of his previous life. Many things he could once do were now out of reach, thus such control was hard to satisfy him.
As for the examiner, he broke out in a cold sweat as he snapped back to reality, suddenly remembering that this was not a battle—he was an examiner assessing a student.
Looking at the child, who was just over eight years old, in shock, the examiner was stupefied. It was unbelievable that a child had unconsciously put him into a combat state! This meant that, in human form, the child had the qualifications to fight him!
Of course, if they were to really fight, Xin Yun was definitely not his match at the moment. Although he was engrossed in the battle, he still hadn't deployed all his energy and strength. Otherwise, in at most five seconds, his opponent would have met a grim fate.
While contemplating, Yi Luo looked on with furrowed brows, "The battle just now exceeded the scope of the test, and more than four seconds have already passed, so there is no need to continue. Am I right, Mr. Examiner?"
