The King of Special Warfare

Chapter 110 Cruel

Though everyone present was talented in kung fu, most of them failed to understand the battle’s result.

Sword intent had just risen and then fell in an instant.

How could it end like this?

A grand show ended in the beginning. It was like you were watching a vibrant East Island love action movie, just when the pretty sultry heroine appeared on the scene, the movie ended even before they set a proper position. Everyone felt something heavy on their chest and was feeling oppressed.

However, Ning Qiancheng did not care about the audience at all. He just jumped off the platform and looked at Yang Mengjiang, waiting for his announcement.

“One credit lost.”

Yang Mengjiang said with a blank face. Then, he waved his hands and said, “Fall in.”

Li Tianlan subconsciously squinted.

Li Baitian who was still on the stage, Fan Haoyu in the crowd, Du Hanyin with her two sabers, and quiet Gu Youlan all slightly changed their faces.

However, no one spoke.

In the battle between Li Baitian and Ning Qiancheng, people with a keen eye had all understood. Though the fighting process was not exciting, the result was pretty fair. The two did not fight with their battle strength, instead, they fought with the sword intent. Great Void Sword Intent was vague and illusory, and the sparkling sword intent was real and complete. After such a fight, though they did not perform their best styles, they still revealed the real deal without hurting each other’s feelings. This was a real friendly competition, calm and wonderful.

It was a short and slow-paced fight, but the information it contained was very valuable.

It was reasonable for other people to miss the point. As the Group Leader of the Actual Combat Lesson, how could Yang Mengjiang fail to notice?

However, still, he deducted Ning Qiancheng’s one point. This kind of unfair attitude was very obvious.

Li Tianlan smiled and looked into Yang Mengjiang.

The core member of Kunlun City was not what his outside appearance implied, he was actually pretty decisive inside.

Ning Qiancheng and Li Baitian stepped off the stage and fell in.

“He lost the credit for nothing, Yang Mengjiang is not honest.”

Li Baitian took a deep breath and said with a sullen face.

“It’s alright. The one credit I lost is given to you, right? It’s fair enough.”

Li Tianlan did not speak and looked at Yang Mengjiang in silence, who seemed to look back into him. Yang Mengjiang’s eyes was gloomy and indifferent, however, Li Tianlan was always seeing something menacing and aggressive in his eyes.

Li Tianlan smiled with gentler eyes.

Yang Mengjiang already turned away his eyes and continued, “Number six, number 17, get on the stage!”

Li Tianlan, Ning Qiancheng, and Li Baitian did not make a scene in the spot. However, he still had three years. The Actual Combat Lesson he gave was held twice a month. He got plenty of time to train those freshmen. As a core member of Kunlun City, Yang Mengjiang did not tell between right and wrong anymore. Since the lesson was instructed by Director Gu, it was right for him to do it neatly.

“Well?”

Beside Li Tianlan, Wang Yuetong gently exclaimed, waved her paper and smiled. “I’m number 17, who’s six?”

In the crowd, a sharp clang of metal rang. A figure with two sabers walked through the crowd onto the platform.

Li Tianlan fixed his eyes on her.

“This woman...”

Ning Qiancheng slightly frowned as well.

“This woman is not weak, and I think she’s in a weird state right now. Yuetong, be careful when you’re up there.”

Li Baitian’s mouth twitched and he appeared sullen.

During entrance maneuver, when he got out of the maze and just entered the forest, Li Baitian was seriously injured from a sneak attack by a group of seniors led by Du Hanyin.

She was not at a high level, but she’s fast and extremely dexterous. Her every move broke out and withdrew at an assassin’s level, and she was very experienced in fighting as to know when to rush forward and when to retreat. Though it was only a sneak attack, Li Tianlan was still impressed by the woman who seriously injured him.

There was supposed to a war between them, however, The Enchantress stopped it.

The Enchantress said that Du Hanyin was her student. Li Tianlan wondered how much she had learned from the Enchantress.

If one of the Enchantress’s students met Wang Yuetong, Wang Yuetong should be fine, right？

“I know.”

Wang Yuetong answered firmly, looked at Li Tianlan and said tenderly, “I’m going.”

Li Tianlan nodded and looked at Du Hanyin on the platform in silence. He used to read the information about Sky Academy Qin Weibai collected for him. According to Li Baitian, Du Hanyin was nowhere near weak, however, her name did not appear on the list Qin Weibai made. If she was a freshman, Li Tianlan would think it plausible. Nevertheless, being a capable senior, it was odd for her to be missing from the list.

Wang Yuetong walked through the crowd, stepping onto the stage.

Du Hanyin’s eyes were gentle, and she smiled and said gently, “Greetings, Your Highness.”

She really looked pretty in a gentle and comforting way, not the aggressive kind. When she smiled, she seemed to give off a provocative and sultry feeling. However, it was not vulgar but elegant and dignified in a way that tugged at people’s heartstrings.

“Are you Sixth Sister’s student?”

Wang Yuetong tilted her head and said playfully, “Then just admit defeat. I won’t make things difficult for you, and I will let go of the little misunderstanding in the entrance maneuver. What do you say?”

The two stood face to face. Although they were all dressed in camouflage clothing, they both looked picturesque. One was mature and sultry, the other was young and voluptuous. This Actual Combat Lesson looked glamorous at the moment.

“I’m sorry.”

Du Hanyin still sounded gentle but she said these words resolutely. “I want to win.”

“Why are you talking? Is this a place to kill time? Do it now, or I’ll drag you two down!”

Down the stage, Yang Mengjiang’s booming voice rang and it sounded harsh. “Do it now, or I’ll deduct one credit from both of you.”

In every Sky Academy lesson, the teacher had the right to deduct five credits from students or add three credits to them. They could only do it once, as a way to rule and motivate students. Therefore, deducting or adding credits could be seen as the most exciting things in class.

“Excuse me.”

Du Hanyin slightly bowed, and when she straightened up, she raised her hand at the same time.

A sharp and exquisite, with its knuckle-like edge, directly darted toward Wang Yuetong.

A nearly-invisible thin thread was attached to her wrist. When the saber rushed out, the thin was straightened. At that time, Du Hanyin’s entire body seemed to move toward Wang Yuetong at the tug of the saber.

When she rushed forward, she threw the second saber up into the air. It surged up and then swooshed down onto the ground.

Strength Qi roared in the air.

The saber split through the air and its blade seemed to be covered in a layer of icy frost.

Saber light shone brightly inside the icy frost. Du Hanyin’s hair scattered in the air. She looked resolute and cruel with a decisive and merciless face.

There was already an ice wall rising in front of Wang Yuetong.

Immense sword intent gathered behind the ice wall like ocean waves.

Covered in frost, the saber fiercely pricked into the ice wall. Behind it, Du Hanyin grabbed the saber’s hilt at the same time.

Swirl!

Above the bright blade, a saber gale suddenly rose.

A one-meter long saber gale twisted and spread. When Du Hanyin turned around, it pierced the ice wall, giving out a sharp light.

“Bang!”

The ice wall shattered into pieces, and scrapes of ice swirled in the air and at once condensed to swords. Immense sword intent swarmed and swooshed, almost shrouding Du Hanyin’s entire body.

Sword storm poured down.

Du Hanyin was holding a saber with one hand, and her other hand was shaking. When the second saber that was about to hit the floor vibrated, she withdrew to the place where the saber was.

Swooshing sword storm poured down onto the stage.

The hard ground was heavily dented by the Sword Qi’s attack, while Du Hanyin dodged the bullet. Du Hanyin retreated to her previous place, and then she rushed again to Wang Yuetong carrying her two sabers.

“Inborn Wind Vein?”

Off the stage, looking seriously at Du Hanyin’s figure, Li Baitian uttered, unsure of himself.

Li Tianlan also faltered. Absorbed in the fight, he shook his head in hesitation. “It doesn’t look like it.”

He bore Wind and Thunder Veins and was extremely sensitive to strength and speed. People with Inborn Wind Vein was remarkably fast. Common people might be fast like them through hard training. However, common people could never do it as easily as them. That was why people with Wind Vein were born to be assassins.

Du Hanyin was fast and handled the two sabers well, but Li Tianlan always found something stiff in her moves. She seemed to own Inborn Wind Vein in some way, but something was still missing in his eyes.

On the stage, having missed one time, Wang Yuetong brandished her sword again.

Sword Qi rose again from all over the platform. Finally, a five-meter-long thick and gigantic sword stood on the platform.

Wang Yuetong slightly waved her hand.

The gigantic sword heavily vibrated and then fell in an instant.

It was the unique skill of the Wang family of Beihai!

Sword in Balance!

Everything was in balance and balance was everywhere.

Countless sword intent spread at that second and shroud the entire stage. Du Hanyin had been running, and now she was suddenly covered in a layer of frost.

Wang Yuetong slightly moved her body, and then a fine long ice sword was conjured in her soft white hand.

Amidst the swarm of sword intent, Wang Yuetong’s body turned into a streak of flowing light in an instant, and then she fiercely rushed toward Du Hanyin.

It was another unique skill of the Wang family of Beihai, Sword Listens to Wind.

At that time, Wang Yuetong’s long hair scattered, stunning and proud. She flew like snow and her sword style was surging.

Drops of rain splattered down from above.

Wang Yuetong went all out and performed another unique skill.

Sword Listens to Rain.

Sword storm poured down, sharp, dazzling and spectacular.

From more than 10 meters away, the two at once drew near to each other.

Holding two sabers, Du Hanyin stretched her body. She did not falter for a second in the pouring rain, the falling swords, or in front of Wang Yuetong.

She took a step forward.

Just when Wang Yuetong’s long sword was about to touch her, she carried the two sabers and started to swirl.

Like a dancing sword.

Like a blooming flower.

Cold.

Graceful.

Numerous scrapes of ice in the air darted in all directions. The faster she swirled, the sharper the scrapes of ice were. Pouring sword storm shattered, leaving bright lights. At the same, the ice sword Wang Yuetong held was disappearing inch by inch.

Du Hanyin was still swirling.

The gigantic sword above fell.

Swirling Du Hanyin suddenly pushed Wang Yuetong in the chest and darted a dagger at the same time.

Wang Yuetong was sent flying by her. Du Hanyin rushed to another side with the dagger.

The gigantic sword collapsed.

A loud crash.

A strong force made the entire platform vibrate. Around the point where the two confronted, a wave of Qi visible to the naked eye emerged on the stage. Both Du Hanyin and Wang Yuetong fell off the stage at the wave.

The audience paused for a second.

The next second, thunderous applause burst out.

“Well done!”

Everyone cheered. Though still a short fight, the process was much more exciting than Ning Qiancheng Li Baitian’s. Cold and graceful Du Hanyin versus the proud and stern Wang Yuetong. Dexterous bodies and unparalleled unique skills were exactly what an Actual Combat Lesson needed.

Yang Mengjiang shot a cold glance at the two people. After a short silence, he said indifferently, “As a senior, you only tied the game. What a shame! One credit lost!”

Du Hanyin twitched the corner of her lips, wanting to say that she could still fight. However, in an Actual Combat Lesson, falling off the stage meant failure, which was not a rule for a person like her to break.

Thus, eventually, she just nodded in silence without a word.

“Rigid body, slow reaction. That stroke, even if you can’t dodge it, you shouldn’t fall off the stage. She already made the move, you would win if you had prepared.”

Yang Mengjiang took a deep breath and continued. It was his duty as a teacher to point students’ weakness in every battle.

Du Hanyin kept nodding. Seeing that Yang Mengjiang twisted around to face Wang Yuetong. She laughed at herself and went back to the line. In other people’s eyes, she still looked calm, but they still found a trace of helplessness and disappointment in her.

“Yuetong has done well. You just lack battle experience. Practice more in the future.”

Yang Mengjiang looked at Wang Yuetong and seemed to have toned down.

Wang Yuetong nodded and fall in as well.

Before Li Tianlan could speak, Yang Mengjiang spoke again. “Number 10, number 15, on stage!”

One after another fight began and ended on the platform.

Compared with the two previous fights, the following ones were much more brutal. Someone even had his one arm off in the fight and staggered off the stage himself.

Yang Mengjiang remained emotionless the entire time. Looking at another fight where both sides suffered, he once again shouted. “Number 15, number 26.”

Li Tianlan was slightly dazed and looked at the number paper in his hand. He chuckled and walked out of the line.

Yang Mengjiang’s eyes were cold but kept silent.

After a short while, a youth beside Gu Youlan stepped onto the stage as well.

Li Tianlan squinted and shot a cold glance at Gu Youlan.

“Let’s fight. Save time!”

Yang Mengjiang’s roar kept ringing.

“Go to hell!”

Opposite Li Tianlan, the youth’s figure dashed forward in an instant. Without a word, he went all out.

He was an expert at the stabilization phase of Ice-condensing Realm of the previous Flames of War. With his current strength, he did not expect to win Li Tianlan, who was with Wind and Thunder Veins. However, when he was off stage, Gu Youlan had already told him to go all out to drain Li Tianlan’s energy as to make Li Tianlan’s rank lower.

All out.

He had executed the order in a strict way. When he took the first step, he had condensed all his energy in that strike.

A war of attrition.

A head-on collision.

Li Tianlan remained calm and looked at his opponent who was ferociously rushing toward him. Until the youth was near him, he suddenly lifted her hand.

In front of him, the air twitched hard and let out a high-pitched shrill.

One fist against another.

Amidst the crackles of bones, the all-out youth was sent flying more than 20 meters away by Li Tianlan’s fist. He fell off the stage in an awkward way and lay motionlessly.

Li Tianlan glanced at Gu Youlan who was squinting her eyes. Li Tianlan smiled, his eyes flashing with menace.

No one applauded or cheered below the stage. It was dead silence.

Li Tianlan had defeated an expert at the stabilization phase of Ice-condensing Realm in one blow.

Ice-condensing Realm was a realm most of the freshmen had reached.

If Li Tianlan could erase his rival with one fist, would it mean that he could kill most of them in a second?

Many fearful eyes shot to Li Tianlan from below the stage.

Li Tianlan appeared calm and slowly walked off the platform. He approached Yang Mengjiang and said in a peaceful manner. “Please instruct, Sir.”

Yang Mengjiang squinted but did not say anything at that point.

Li Tianlan waited in silence, neither arrogant nor rash.

Yang Mengjiang suddenly laughed and whispered. “You think I can’t handle you?”

Li Tianlan slighted cocked his one brow and said gently, “I don’t know what you mean.”

“You don’t need to.”

Yang Mengjiang sneered. “There’s only one thing you need to know. In the next three years, in my Actual Combat Lesson, it won’t be easy for you, not once.”

Out of the blue.

Yang Mengjiang suddenly lifted his leg and kicked Li Tianlan hard in the chest.

Even if not with full force, a Thunder-shocking Realm expert’s attack still sent Li Tianlan flying. Blood spurted out from his mouth.

“Cruel, didn’t know how to care for your classmates. Five credits lost!”

Yang Mengjiang drew back his legs and said in a cold tone.
