Chapter 394 - 352: Killing Yuuzirou with a Single Punch
Chapter 394: Chapter 352: Killing Yuuzirou with a Single Punch
"Principal Tang, what’s the situation on site right now?"
This was the first time Lin Yi had truly met Tang Baichuan since enrolling in the university.
They were in a van, heading straight for Jingzhao City.
Tang Baichuan opened the live stream and handed his phone to Lin Yi.
Wei Nan, Zhou Qi, and the others immediately crowded around to watch.
The live stream showed the same Black fighter from before.
He’d already won several matches in a row.
His morale was at an all-time high.
Over six-foot-three and bare-chested, his terrifyingly solid muscles were enough to make anyone shudder.
Just then, a familiar figure stepped into the ring. It was Wei Shang.
He gave the Black fighter a deep, gentlemanly bow.
The Black student, however, just gave an incredibly arrogant, disdainful smirk.
Then, Wei Shang shot forward like an arrow released from its bow, lunging straight for the Black student.
BOOM—
But when his fist smashed into the Black student’s chest, it didn’t even make him budge.
Instead, the Black student grinned, stretched out his arms, grabbed Wei Shang, and tossed him away with immense force.
Fortunately, Wei Shang managed to right himself before he hit the ground, landing steadily on his feet.
But in that instant, the Black student charged like a savage bull, closing the distance to Wei Shang in a flash.
Wei Shang’s face fell. He quickly executed his Body Technique to evade.
But the Black student stuck to him relentlessly. No matter where Wei Shang dodged, he couldn’t shake him.
Then, in a moment of carelessness, the Black student’s fist slammed right into his back, sending Wei Shang flying.
With a loud THUD, Wei Shang crashed heavily onto the floor.
A spray of blood erupted from his mouth.
At the sight, a cold glint flashed in Lin Yi’s eyes. Wei Nan, Zhou Qi, and the others tensed up as well.
They all knew how skilled Wei Shang was.
Aside from Lin Yi, Wei Shang and Feng Lei were the best of the best.
What’s more, they were members of the Town Martial Department with extensive real-world combat experience.
Yet even so, he couldn’t break through the Black student’s defense.
Instead, he was being completely overpowered...
Just as he landed, before he could even get back to his feet, the Black student closed the distance in a few large strides.
He swung a massive fist, bringing it down viciously toward Wei Shang’s head.
In that instant, everyone’s heart leaped into their throats.
If that fist connected, his head would be smashed to a pulp.
But just then, Wei Shang moved like a slippery eel and instantly dodged out of the way.
Then, ignoring his injuries, he launched a surprise attack from behind.
His eyes turned crimson, and his fists became enveloped in a red sheen.
Instantly, his fists fell like raindrops, hammering the Black student’s body.
The Black student roared in pain and fury.
He forced himself to turn around.
However, before he could counterattack, Wei Shang was already using his agile Body Technique to land a flurry of vicious strikes.
Each of his punches struck one of the Black student’s pressure points.
They were precise and swift, each blow delivered with perfectly controlled force.
After landing countless punches, Wei Shang quickly darted back, creating distance between himself and the Black student.
The arena fell silent.
For a second, the video feed seemed to have frozen.
But Wei Shang’s chest was heaving rapidly, so Lin Yi and the others knew the feed was fine.
Then, the Black student’s eyes bulged as he crashed to the floor.
The crowd on-site erupted into thunderous cheers.
In contrast, the faces of everyone from the five Outer Alliances turned grim.
But just as Wei Shang stood in the ring, before he even had a moment to recover,
WHOOSH—
a dark blur streaked across the screen and lunged straight for Wei Shang.
BOOM—
Although Wei Shang reacted quickly, throwing up a block, he was still sent flying by the impact.
Only then could they see clearly.
The attacker was a student from Sakura.
He wore a standard Sakura school uniform, his bangs hanging just over his eyes.
At first glance, he looked like some edgy teenager.
But the corners of his sinister eyes held a chilling, murderous intent.
Without a word, he made a slight move and charged toward Wei Shang once more.
He was incredibly fast, closing the distance to Wei Shang in the blink of an eye.
An intense killing intent erupted across the ring.
Already grievously injured, Wei Shang was unable to effectively dodge, let alone fight back. He gritted his teeth, a look of bitter unwillingness in his eyes.
The only thing he could do now was wait for death.
But just as the student from Sakura closed in, ready to land a devastating blow on Wei Shang,
suddenly, a powerful shockwave from a fist blasted toward him.
The blow was so powerful that he was forced to abruptly change direction and dodge.
Seizing the opportunity, Feng Lei leaped into the ring.
He glanced down at Wei Shang. "Are you okay?"
Wei Shang shook his head weakly, a trickle of blood at the corner of his mouth.
He couldn’t speak, or even stand.
Feng Lei waved to the students below the ring, and several from Lanshan University immediately ran up to carry Wei Shang off the stage.
Only then did Feng Lei turn to face the student from Sakura.
"Fellow student, I don’t think you’re here for a Martial Arts exchange. You’re here to kill, aren’t you?"
"No matter. Let me introduce myself. I’m Feng Lei, from Xingwu University!"
It was surprising to see the usually taciturn Feng Lei speaking so calmly with the student from Sakura.
The student opposite him stared at Feng Lei with a grim expression.
The shockwave from that earlier punch still left him shaken.
It made him much more wary of Feng Lei.
"I am Sekihoto Yuujirou, from Divine Martial University. I look forward to your instruction!"
At his words, Feng Lei threw his head back and laughed.
"Forget ’instruction.’ You’re not here for an exchange. If that’s how it is, then let’s not just settle victory and defeat—let’s settle life and death!"
An intense killing intent flared in Feng Lei’s eyes.
He was here to avenge Wei Shang.
Whether it was the Black fighter from before or Sekihoto Yuujirou now, they were all determined to kill, and they had made their intentions clear.
Since they wanted to kill, why bother with the pretense of a Martial Arts exchange?
And so, Feng Lei’s own killing intent surged.
Since he was up here, he didn’t plan on leaving alive—unless he killed his opponent first.
Sekihoto Yuujirou understood Feng Lei’s meaning.
A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he shot toward Feng Lei again with incredible speed.
Feng Lei’s combat experience was no less than Wei Shang’s.
His martial arts, in particular, centered on fist techniques.
In the Town Martial Department, Feng Lei’s Wind Thunder Fist was ranked among the top ten.
The next moment, an afterimage streaked past Feng Lei’s eyes.
Feng Lei stood perfectly still, not fooled by the afterimage.
Then he abruptly threw a punch, directly to his other side.
BOOM—
The punch crackled with the Power of Thunder and Lightning.
It sent Sekihoto Yuujirou flying back several feet.
SPIT...
A mouthful of blood sprayed out.
As Sekihoto Yuujirou materialized, he stared at Feng Lei in shock. ’He saw through my feint in a single glance?’
But Feng Lei didn’t give him time to dwell on it.
Kick ’em while they’re down.
Besides, that had always been the Outer Alliance students’ primary tactic.
As soon as an opponent was down, they would immediately rush in for the kill.
That’s what had happened to the previous students, and Wei Shang had nearly fallen to the same dirty trick.
Feng Lei closed the distance to Sekihoto Yuujirou in a few large strides.
His fists, crackling with the Power of Thunder and Lightning, smashed viciously toward Sekihoto Yuujirou.
Each punch carried immense force, like a shower of falling meteorites.
Sekihoto Yuujirou endured the excruciating pain, forcing his Qi and Blood to flow so he could execute his Body Technique.
However, already injured, his movements were noticeably slower.
Even at his peak, Feng Lei could easily track his movements, let alone now that he was injured.
In Feng Lei’s eyes, there was nowhere left for him to run.
BOOM BOOM BOOM—
Feng Lei seized his chance, instantly identifying the real Sekihoto Yuujirou among the afterimages.
A series of punches slammed into his body.
The fists, crackling with the Power of Thunder and Lightning, beat Sekihoto Yuujirou so hard his eyes rolled back in his head.
Blood gushed from his mouth.
By now, Feng Lei’s eyes were bloodshot, his killing intent more potent than ever.
An indescribable power emanated from his body.
Just as Sekihoto Yuujirou was beaten to within an inch of his life, swaying on his feet but not yet fallen,
Feng Lei channeled all the Qi and Blood in his body into his fist.
This one punch would be enough to kill Sekihoto Yuujirou.
He let out a roar, like an enraged beast.
He swung his fist directly at Sekihoto Yuujirou.
BOOM—
CRACK... The sound of bones splintering.
Feng Lei’s punch sent Sekihoto Yuujirou flying several meters.
He crashed heavily to the ground, blood slowly trickling from his mouth.
He was dead.
At this, the arena once again fell into an eerie silence.
Everyone present seemed petrified, their eyes fixed on Feng Lei in the ring.
"That was beautiful! Old Feng’s punch finally let us blow off some steam!" Wei Nan said, letting out a long sigh of relief.
They had all been glued to the live stream.
When they saw Sekihoto Yuujirou about to ambush Wei Shang, their hearts had been in their throats.
Thankfully, Feng Lei had shown up just in time to avert the crisis.
And everyone could see that Feng Lei was genuinely furious.
He wanted to avenge Wei Shang and had even declared they would ’settle life and death’.
That meant Feng Lei hadn’t planned on leaving the ring alive, unless one of them died right there.
Just then, a roar of thunderous cheers erupted from the live stream.
The students in the audience had all erupted with excitement.
However, when the live stream camera panned over to the five Outer Alliances,
not a single person seemed saddened by Sekihoto Yuujirou’s death.
Only Miyamoto Hondo Ichirō, the representative of the Sakura Alliance, showed a flash of anger.
The other nine students behind him, however, all wore expressions of contempt.
It was as if the dead Sekihoto Yuujirou had nothing to do with them.
If anything, they seemed ashamed of his failure.
"Are these guys cold-blooded? Their own classmate died and not one of them is sad?" Zhou Qi said with a frown.
In fact, it wasn’t just the Sakura Alliance.
The other four alliances all wore the same cold, indifferent expressions.
It was clear how cold-blooded they were; it seemed only victory and defeat could stir their emotions.
Soon, from among the Outer Alliances, a bald student stepped forward.
He had no hair, no beard, not even eyebrows.
His entire head was completely bare. If it weren’t for his facial features, you might think it was a giant egg.
"Holy shit, does this guy have some kind of disease? Not a single hair on his head?" Wei Nan couldn’t help but comment.
Zhou Qi, Sun Tao, and Shen Mengyi all nodded in agreement.
Yet, the sight of him gave them a strange sense of oppression.
Just then, Lin Yi glanced out the van window before turning back. "Principal Tang, how much longer until we get there?"
Tang Baichuan glanced at his watch, his brow furrowed. "Another forty-something minutes!"
"Another forty-something minutes?"
Lin Yi’s brow furrowed deeply.
His gaze fell back on the live stream.
A worried look filled his eyes.
