Chapter 706: Chapter 479: A Clean Break
Flying Dragon saber?
“Of course, you can use it. It is the standard close combat weapon of the Flying Dragon and it’s made from three-layer laminated steel. The high-carbon inner layer, which is hard, serves as the core of the blade edge, while both sides are tempered for toughness and elasticity. The final blade embodies the characteristics of high-quality steel and is of excellent quality.”
“You can rest assured that the blade of the Flying Dragon saber can slice bullets apart with its toughness and sharpness upon contact.”
Speaking of the material of the Flying Dragon saber, the Mechanical Expert Yi, who was nearby, couldn’t wait to respond and directly threw a sheathed saber to Mu Fan.
This was his area of expertise.
Mu Fan nodded in agreement, but he didn’t ask why they didn’t consider using an ion saber.
In many extreme situations, ion sabers don’t have much practical use, especially for special forces that win with their outstanding personnel.
Durability of the weapon must come first.
“Fan, what’s up with the saber?” Dragon Aunt adjusted the hair by her ear, her gaze warm as she looked at Mu Fan.
With a “swoosh,” Mu Fan drew the saber that glimmered with a cold light, squinting at his reflection on the Cold Blade.
Then, supporting the back of the blade with his left hand, he glanced at the edge, nodded with satisfaction, and finally looked towards Dragon Aunt:
“I’m checking the weapon; there’s no problem.”
“Of course, there’s no problem. We handle it very smoothly.” Tank looked at Mu Fan somewhat puzzled, not understanding what the young man had in mind.
However, the Wizard didn’t join the conversation lightly. He knew this kid wasn’t as harmless as he seemed.
“It’s not that. I mean, there’s no need to wait fifteen days. Let’s do it now. Once the trials are over, I need to return to the academy. My treatment isn’t finished; I haven’t given up on it yet~”
Mu Fan replied with a joking tone, but no one present laughed.
Even to T-Rex, Mu Fan seemed to be overexerting himself with his words.
“No training, just go ahead? This is the Flying Dragon; we never take words lightly here,” said the Wizard, his cold gaze fixed on Mu Fan.
“I never speak twice.”
Mu Fan’s chin lifted slightly, his inherent defiance on full display.
“Fine… It has been a very long time since I’ve encountered someone as thorny as you. Falcon, you can arrange the second round of trials,” the Wizard said. There was no anger in his tone, but his indifferent attitude said it all.
Falcon, feeling troubled, rubbed his face. He didn’t want to offend the Wizard, but he also admired Mu Fan.
If that was the case…
Then let them fight it out.
Falcon, who preferred straightforward thinking, made his decision.
But first, he needed to ensure safety measures were in place.
He didn’t want Thunderhawk to go berserk and pick a fight with the Flying Dragon.
After all, the extraordinary abilities Mu Fan displayed in the first round of trials had convinced Falcon of Mu Fan’s status in Ruan Xiongfei’s eyes.
If something were to happen to Mu Fan on the Flying Dragon, it would be fatal…
“In that case, Mu Fan, get ready with your protective gear. The trial can start immediately. If you pass, you’ll get a week of free time to use as you wish. After a week, we will contact you for the third-tier trial. If you fail, then let’s pretend we never met,” Falcon casually concluded the matter as he exhaled a puff of smoke.
“That’s fine, but I won’t need the protective gear. It would affect my power output,” Mu Fan said calmly, causing those around him to tense up once again.
Those over thirty felt a sorrowful admiration that such a young man could already be so adept at bravado.
Now they realized that the youth pulled aboard the Flying Dragon wasn’t some fledgling – he was clearly a battle-hardened eagle!
“No way!”
“No way!”
This time Falcon and T-Rex objected in unison.
However, Mu Fan’s final words dispelled their concerns.
“My weighted suit has bulletproof capabilities.”
…
Ten minutes later, the surroundings had changed.
They were now in an empty Mecha Storage, with a hangar in the empty space.
The area behind the hangar had been set up with thick buffering material. Mu Fan stood erect in the center of the hangar. Ten meters in front of him, a man in a distinctive black military uniform with a mask slowly took his position. As he raised his right hand, a golden colossal handgun appeared.
The dark muzzle was aimed at Mu Fan on the other side.
The wizard’s eyes conveyed an icy cold that hadn’t changed in millennia, and his voice was devoid of any fluctuations.
“Don’t rely on your senior’s grace for everything. If you were to unfortunately fail in a normal assessment, the Madman wouldn’t have a word to say. Now with the gun pointed at your head, you can dodge… if you dodge, get off the ship on your own. If you don’t and get shot, then you can say goodbye to this world.”
Mu Fan’s fingers spread open like the talons of a hawk, then sequentially curled in before grasping tightly onto the handle of the Flying Dragon saber.
The moment he gripped the saber, his aura surged explosively, his killing intent fierce like a Warrior bathed in blood on the battlefield!
“Interesting, but not enough.”
The wizard’s gaze held two silent whirlpools transfixed on Mu Fan—he possessed the highest spiritual power among those present, and under his gaze, none of Mu Fan’s minute movements could escape detection.
What surprised him, though, was that the kid had no hint of nervousness on his face in facing the terrifying close combat weapon, nor was there any slight tremor in his body.
The kid was terrifyingly composed.
But where did his confidence come from?
Where did his confidence come from…
Suddenly, in his vision, he saw a cold smile emerge at the corner of the kid’s mouth.
That was a sneer directed at himself!
Indeed, Mu Fan was looking at the wizard with indifferent eyes at this moment, his heart a bastion of tranquility.
The astonishing move that Ruan Xiongfei had demonstrated was about to be replicated by him today.
As for the limit to which he could replicate…
Thud, thud, thud, thud!
When that heavy drumbeat vibration began, Tank, among the others, locked his sharply gleaming eyes directly onto Mu Fan.
“Compression of the heart!”
This was a domain only those who had cultivated Body Techniques to the extreme would touch upon.
Tank was someone among them who had brought Body Techniques to the extreme, by autonomously controlling the compression of his heart muscle.
Instantly creating two to three times the normal blood flow, the Energy the human body could release at this moment would exceed imagination.
Even though Mu Fan’s performance up to this point hadn’t triggered any particular response from him, when this series of drumbeat-like sounds began, two streams of hot air blasted out from his nostrils.
Just how strong could this kid erupt with?
How strong?
When Mu Fan’s eyes suddenly turned blood-red, the wizard furiously pulled the trigger in his hand.
As for the muzzle…
It pointed straight at the kid’s head on the opposite side.
The wizard’s eyes exhibited detachment and lifelessness.
The world of the strong—no mercy!
With a loud bang, everyone’s hearts leapt heavily.
And in that instant, Mu Fan’s bodily senses expanded greatly, his blood flow so rapid it was scorching.
Thud, thud, thud, thud.
The heartbeat frequency soared instantly to 400…500 beats!
At this moment, Mu Fan’s breath was like that of a lifeless robot, his blood-colored eyes filled with disregard for life.
This was the view of the strong…
The indifferent Mu Fan, indifferent pupils, the bullet head that loomed large in his vision.
Blessed Relief, a single strike…
Cut in two!

PS: Recently, I’ve become obsessed with urban fantasy novels by my friend Elbow, satisfying to the fullest… I’ve binge-read them until dawn, painfully compelling.
The novel is called “I Am a Great Player”, the protagonist is insufferably cheeky, but truly full of passion and tears, highly recommended!!
