Battle Frenzy

Chapter 13

Laura watched the whole battle and honestly speaking, she hadn’t understood All-mouthy King’s situation until the very end. She’d never seen someone as monstrous as him before. In fact, she felt that it was simply too random. Had the universe exploded?

After this battle, however, she was certain. She was certain that All-mouthy King was terrifying.

Countless people had been baffled by the Flaming Lotus Dance before, and even though Emily’s weapon had been incompatible with her, her Flaming Lotus Dance had still been exceptionally formidable. This type of battle skill had extreme killing power even if its fire blades had been imperfectly created. Yet, from start to finish, he had used the minimum amount of soul power to defend himself—as if he was certain his opponent couldn’t strike him at all.

After analyzing a slow motion replay of the battle, she marked out the trajectory of his evasive movements and frequent changes.

In the face of her analysis, the whole forum went silent! It was as though the shadow followed the pace of the body.

He’d been bursting with confidence and had dared to move the battle completely to his pace. In other words, Emily was unable to land a single attack on her opponent. All of her moves had been seen through.

This was the gap between those at the top and those they looked down upon!

Laura turned off her skylink, showing disinterest in the chatter behind her. She swept a glance behind her at Anlor and Arnold Teuton. “If you two still think you can easily beat him, then the dignity of our Mad Beast Battle Squadron is in danger.”

This guy is really interesting. No matter how I look at it, his techniques are good but his heart is too soft. He didn’t want to lay a hand on his opponent because she was a little girl. This is a huge flaw. After some time, I fear this will cost him his life.

Naturally, Laura didn’t give voice to these thoughts.

At this time, in one of the teachers’ buildings for Tianjing Academy’s rune department.

Department Head Moor brewed a hot cup of tea for the dispirited Emily. “Little girl, why are you so depressed with just a single loss? Don’t be sad. You should be happy instead.”

“Uncle Moor, could it be that I’m not suited for the path of an assassin?”

Moor gave a gentle chuckle. “This is something you should ask for yourself. No one but you can decide your life for you. In any case, I agree with what your opponent said. For a personal set of weapons, rune swords are too long for you.”

Emily was stunned. “So it’s fine that I lost?”

“You foolish child. Uncle had just barely grasped your situation. A single battle is nowhere near enough to find out what I need. If you learned something from that battle, then that is something worth being happy about.”

“Thank you, uncle. I understand now!” After bowing, Emily quickly ran off and disappeared like a wisp of smoke.

Moor couldn’t help but shake his head. Youngsters these days are truly too energetic. One moment a gust of wind, the next a shower of rain. He had originally planned on taking Emily’s measurements and making her a pair of rune swords, but now it seemed to him that daggers would suit her more.

After his battle with Emily concluded, Wang Zhong proceeded with his usual routine and began his physical training. The more he fought, the more he felt the importance of his body’s strength. Everyone valued soul power, but without a sufficiently strong body to bear its power, it was still a major flaw.
