In the eighth round, Chu Yunfan finally met Zhang Teng, who had just defeated Gao Hongzhi and beaten him until he coughed up blood.
Standing in the arena, Zhang Teng looked at Chu Yunfan from afar. Even though he was standing, Zhang Teng radiated great pressure toward those outside of the arena.
Chu Yunfan was not considered short. He was over 1.8 meters tall. However, when faced with the 1.9-meter tall and muscular Zhang Teng, he was clearly one size smaller. Although it was not entirely correct to judge a
person’s strength based on their size, it still made sense in most situations. Those who were tall had more strength, so it was easier for them to create an oppressive advantage.
“This battle is going to be interesting. Although there have been many exciting battles between experts in the eighth round, the battle between Zhang Teng and Chu Yunfan should be the most exciting!”
“One will be in second place while the other will be in third place. Tsk, tsk. It’ll definitely be a fierce battle!”
“Zhang Teng is already a fated opponent of Ou Yang, and Chu Yunfan and Ou Yang have also made an agreement to meet in battle. It’s a pity that no matter who wins or loses, one of them will not be able to meet Ou
Yang!”
“There’s nothing anybody can do about it. Computer matching is based on points, not humans. It’s difficult for humans to interfere with it, so it was also possible for either of them to meet before the finals!”
The battle between the two attracted a lot of attention from both the students and the teachers.
“Il wasn’t expecting you.” Zhang Teng said in an icy tone. However, his face was filled with excitement. He had long wanted to teach Chu Yunfan a lesson, but he had not had the chance.
Chu Yunfan’s expression was calm. He had not lost yet, and there were not many who managed to maintain a seven-win streak like him. Therefore, it was normal to be matched up with anyone at this time, even if the
next person to appear was Ou Yang, he would have also felt that it was normal.
Zhang Teng revealed a smile and said, “I heard that you and Ou Yang have made an agreement to meet in the top 20, but it’s a pity that you’re going to lose to me here. You won’t get the chance to meet him!”
Chu Yunfan smiled faintly and said, “You’re quite confident!”
“Because you’re not worthy to be his opponent at all. The only person who’s worthy of being his opponent is me!” Zhang Teng smiled viciously. His relationship with Ou Yang had always been full of bitterness, but this
Chu Yunfan who suddenly came in out of nowhere made him feel that his status had been lowered. If just anyone was qualified to be Ou Yang’s opponent, then would he not also become one of those nobodies?
“Hahaha! Interesting. Then are we competing over the qualifications to be Ou Yang’s opponent?” Chu Yunfan felt that this was very funny.
“Compete for qualifications?” Zhang Teng’s face revealed a disdainful smile.
At this moment, at the podium, Jin Feng and Qin Wu simultaneously turned their gazes to the arena, because the most outstanding students in their respective classes had entered the ring.
“Mr. Qin, what a pity. That student of yours will be defeated in this round. He has matched with Zhang Teng too early. This doesn’t look good for him!” Jin Feng proclaimed smugly.
It was finally his turn to hold his head high. If he were to use Zhang Teng to fight against Ou Yang, he did not have the confidence that Zhang Teng would definitely win. However, if it was someone else, then in his
heart, no matter how many people there were, it would be useless.
“You think Zhang Teng will win? I don’t think so!” Qin Wu shook his head and said.
If it was someone else, they would definitely lose against Zhang Teng. It was not that he was too pessimistic, but he understood Zhang Teng’s strength very well. In the entire school, the only one who was on par with
him was Ou Yang. No one else could do it. There was a clear gap between everyone else and those two. Even Tang Siyu, who had been performing miracles recently, Qin Wu felt that she was still a little lacking.
However, Chu Yunfan was different. Perhaps there would be a different outcome.
The corner of Jin Feng’s mouth twitched slightly. He understood Qin Wu’s words to mean that this man was just being stubborn. He could not help but feel quite pleased.
“Cut the crap. Let’s begin!” Chu Yunfan said.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Teng made his move. A saber appeared in his hand. He had also chosen to wield a saber.
Clang!
The saber instantly struck out, drawing a shocking ray of light. True Energy cut through the air, emitting waves of buzzing sounds. His speed was extremely fast. In an instant, he had arrived in front of Chu Yunfan and
slashed down with his saber. Like a heaven-shaking sea wave, he dashed toward Chu Yunfan.
This was not one of the two sets of saber techniques that could be learned in school—the Earth Splitting Saber Technique and the Roaring Winds Saber Technique. Instead, it was a higher leveled saber technique
known as the Wild Waves Saber Technique. It was modeled upon the raging waves of the ocean, and when used, it was like a heaven-shaking tsunami sweeping over. Its power was extremely great.
The battle had finally begun. Everyone held their breaths and concentrated their eyes on the battle. They did not dare even blink, afraid that they would miss out on something. Everyone had been paying full attention
to the battles these two had previously. It was just that the two of them had ended all their battles too quickly. They were able to finish off their opponents within two to three moves. No one knew what it would be like
if they really struck out. And now, they were both finally meeting an evenly matched opponent. The audience now had the opportunity to see the true colors of their strength.
Meanwhile, Chu Yunfan did not move at all. It was as if he was dumbfounded by what he saw.
“Why is Chu Yunfan not moving? Could it be that he’s dumbfounded?”
Many students could not keep up with this speed, but the teachers could and could not help but speak out. And before they had even spoken half their sentence, Chu Yunfan moved. The Shadowless Saber behind his
back flew out. Under the sunlight, the saber reflected its rays and emitted a dazzling light. It then slashed toward Zhang Teng’s saber.
The counterattack came, and the speed was extremely fast!
“The Roaring Winds Saber Technique. Although it’s only a basic saber technique, it has such power in Chu Yunfan’s hands. This kid is good!”
“Chu Yunfan is indeed not an easy target!”
Everyone recognized the saber technique Chu Yunfan used, and could not help but talk among themselves.
“You dare to block me with such a basic technique? You have a death wish!” Zhang Teng shouted. His saber increased in its speed and strength.
He looked down on this Roaring Winds Saber Technique. Although he was using a saber, he had planned from the beginning to not use a saber technique like the Roaring Winds Saber Technique. To him, it was too
basic.
After hearing this, Chu Yunfan only revealed a cold smile. His shining saber instantly slashed into the path of the wild waves created by Zhang Teng’s saber technique.
Clang!
The two blades collided with a clear and loud sound.
Chu Yunfan’s Shadowless Saber was not simple, but the battle blade in Zhang Teng’s hand was not simple either. It was difficult to tell who was better.
“You actually managed to block my strike!”
Zhang Teng saw that his attack had been blocked. It was not as he had expected—that Chu Yunfan would be heavily injured in this one move.
“Don’t you understand? The important thing is not the technique, but the person who uses it”.
