Chapter 417: Too Lazy to Beat You
"No one can be sure of this as it never happened before. Having defeated the number 40 winner of the Hundred Battle Ranking List, this person is really powerful. Our school is becoming more and more compelling."
"Hum. Don’t be too optimistic. I heard from my classmate who attended the party that Wei Buhuan was in a low state of mind at that time. So his strength was much hampered."
"This is to say Qian Jin has just defeated a weak person?"
Hearing these acclamations and doubts, Qian Jin forced a faint smile. It didn’t matter if he was questioned, as long as he could get the due resources.
"What?" At the sight of Tence Matten standing in front of him, Qian Jin frowned. "Classmate Matten, you are eventually fed up with being the last one in the Hundred Battle Ranking List? And you also long for a fight with me?"
Tence Matten folded his fan sharply, swung his hands in front of his chest and chuckled. "Don’t joke with me, comrade Qian Jin. You are so appalling to have injured Wei Buhuan heavily. I don’t want to try my fate on you."
Qian Jin looked Tence Matten up and down repeatedly. Standing in a leisurely way, he didn’t expose any of his weak points, making it impossible for anyone to release an attack on him. The only vulnerable point of him might be his back.
However, at the back of this young noble-looking warrior was a warrior bodyguard who appeared like the shield holder on the battlefield.
If some certain amount of furry hair was stuck to this warrior... Qian Jin nodded his head unconsciously, telling himself that in this way this warrior would be very similar to the Behemoth Bloodline Warrior in the figure he ran into last night. With their heavy build, they were able to induce a sense of pressure on their enemy without making any substantial moves.
The only difference was that... the pressing force of this black colossus was one hundred times bigger than Rocky Ray. Qian Jin lifted his hand to rub his chin. Even without the help of warrior power, this young man looked like he possessed formidable strength. In case they fought with each other, the odds of winning on Qian Jin’s side might be less than ten percent.
Why would such a seemingly invincible warrior serve as the retinue of Tence Matten? While walking forward, Qian Jin kept tilting his head at Tence Matten walking by his side, wondering what background this person had.
"Classmate Jin, are you wondering why I say you have to take the heat today?" Tence Matten swung the folding fan in his hand. "In fact, yesterday after the party, the principal released a piece of news saying that as per you didn’t win Wei Buhuan, the results of the fight should be deemed..."
"Invalid?" Qian Jin screwed his eyebrows, feeling it unbelievable. This didn’t seem like the principal’s style. Now that the setting up of this Hundred Battle Ranking List was to stimulate the students’ competitive nerves, no rigid criteria were counted followed in real practice.
"Not invalid, yet not valid either."Tence Matten slowly tucked away his folding fan. "The principal said that as per that you had defeated Wei Buhuan, you should be ranked 40 in the Hundred Battle Ranking List. However, the realization of this would constitute unfairness for the other students who struggled so hard for the ranking. So it was eventually decided that classmate Jin ranked 40 in the Hundred Battle Ranking List temporarily. Given that such ranking wasn’t reached by the normal means, anyone on the campus had the right to challenge you, irrespective of the provisions of the Hundred Battle Ranking List. So..."
Tence Matten smiled when seeing three warriors dressed in respective warrior uniform of grade two, three and four coming from not afar. Walking shoulder by shoulder, these three warriors each wore an alarmed look, as if feeling afraid the other two might all of a sudden step up and surpass him.
"Are you Qian Jin?"
"I wish to challenge you."
The three warriors delivered this same declaration at the same time in an organized way, as if they had rehearsed it million times. Their cheeks and corners of the eyes were scribbled by rampant lust for fighting.
What came along with the 40 ranking of the Hundred Battle Ranking List were stupendous resources as well as immense future potentials. In the past, they didn’t dare challenge the atrocious Wei Buhuan, but now things had were different.
The three young warriors looked at Qian Jin with surging hope. As the news that Wei Buhuan was defeated came out, another news that Wei Buhuan had gone astray in practicing warrior power was also spread over the campus, the latter of which had been acknowledged by the principal.
To run into troubles when practicing warrior power had always been a big issue for warriors. In the worst occasion, a warrior might turn into ash on the spot, while in a better situation, he might lose all warrior power and become handicapped for the rest of his life.
Well, in another luckier case, a warrior might receive a decline in strength or mental disorder, but might not necessarily get paralyzed.
The principal had admitted officially that there had been something wrong with Wei Buhuan’s mind, on thinking about which the three warriors wore a sinister smile. That could trigger interpretation that Qian Jin’s ranking in the Hundred Battle Ranking List wasn’t justifiable, or else she wouldn’t have allowed everyone to challenge him.
"You people want to challenge me?" Qian Jin looked at the three warriors standing in front of him, among whom the strongest was a Level 9 Demon Fighter. Suppose it was the time he left the Four Season Valley after the unforgettable two-year stay, he could defeat these three without any painstaking efforts. As for now?
"Sure."
The three young warrior student made a leap forward at the same time and exchanged a hostile look at each other as if feeling afraid the other two competitors might forestall them so that they had no chance to fight against Qian Jin.
Tence Matten smiled without saying anything. Rolling the fan, he paced backward leisurely for ten meters.
Qian Jin paid a look at the way Tence Matten walked. Seen from the surface, he seemed to be moving in a normal way, yet with some special moving technique incorporated, that was, he kept his feet off the ground in an idle way. This showed that Tence Matten had already applied his mysterious fighting techniques to real life. He might be even more difficult to deal with than the three warriors, should Qian Jin fight with him.
"Let me first."
The three young warriors uttered the same scream after the mutual look at each other and then stepped forward almost at the same time, with a slightly aggrieved look worn on their faces. Who would be the first one to challenge Qian Jin, should the three continue vying for the initiative to start the game. However, none of them were willing to give up vying as it concerned receiving the school’s resources.
At the sight of these three senior warrior student, Qian Jin shrugged his shoulder, made a step forward and exchanged a leisure look at each other. "Dear senior warrior students, we will be late for class if you go on with the modesty."
The three young warriors showed recognition on their face, knowing that they would be late if they continued this strife. However, to arrive late for class or be punished due to late attendance was much better than losing this rare opportunity.
"Why not this?" Qian Jin touched his nose. "Why not start the fight together?"
"Together?"
The three warriors were shocked at the same time and lifted their arms to poke their ears, wondering whether something was wrong with their hearing. How could this freshman who had just come here for a couple of days have the guts to call on the three together? What do you think you are? Do you deem yourself as the monster Titan Tesmo of the first grade? Or did he regard himself as [Thunder Lion King] Linguan Skylan?
The surrounding warriors thirsty for witnessing the fight looked at Qian Jin. Some of them even rubbed their eyes hard, wondering whether they hadn’t fully sobered up from a dream. Had this freshman gone crazy? Did he think that he lived up to the 40th ranking in the Hundred Battle Ranking List after defeating the decadent Wei Buhuan?
"Why? What do you doubt about? Do you think me arrogant? Or you feel that you three are not powerful enough to fight against me? You can invite any of these remaining students to join in you should you feel that you’re lacking confidence."
Qian Jin paced along the campus path leisurely. While passing by Tence Matten, he paid special attention and expectation. He might not necessarily be a bloodline warrior, but he possessed a highly mysterious nature.
With the swirling of his warrior power, Qian Jin infused increasing warrior power into his one hundred and eight warrior reservoirs. Level 4 Demon Fighter, Level 2, Level 3...Level 4, Level 5... then eventually he ascended into a Level 1 Demon Slayer.
As the warrior power got through his body, the air flow within 5 meters came under his control. Seeing this, Tence Matten stepped back and shook his hands, signifying that he wouldn’t take part.
Qian Jin leaped toward the rockery by the pond side cloaked behind the trees. Under the sequence of the Warrior-Heart, compelling warrior power rushed into his arms, with which he released an incisive punch at the rockeries on the front side.
Flame Bear Fighting Technique: Pull Mountain.
A dull thunderous bang rang in the silent campus on this clear morning. Numerous stone pieces splashed here and there from the huge artificial mountain as if there was some explosive enchantment placed inside. Hitting the mountain, it triggered specks of barks and leaves to fall off.
Many warrior students also started conjuring their warrior power to fend off the flying stones, while some unlucky guys who were hit by the stone pieces grimaced with pain. It looked like there was some warrior power unconsumed in the stones.
Splash...splash...splash...
After knocking onto the warriors, the stones lost the force of flying and fell down onto the ground, giving a string of pattering which sounded like falling raindrops.
Left behind the heavy bang was sheer silence. Deafening silence.
The three warriors looked at Qian Jin blankly, and couldn’t believe that he was a Demon Slayer. Why didn’t the Principal warn them about this? That artificial mountain wasn’t made of ordinary rock! That was a piece of igneous rock, a special rock formed through cooling effect after a volcano explosion and was thus harder over one hundred times harder than granite!
Exhausting the entirety of their Level 9 Demon Fighter warrior power and body-protective fighting technique to release a punch, they might just end up fracturing their hands. To leave some imprints on the igneous rock? To shed some blood on it might be the bare reality.
With this casual attack of the fist, Qian Jin smashed this artificial mountain made of igneous rock into stone pieces. Who believed that this was a move from the fist? It was more like a Forging Hammer used for stamping iron in the blacksmith shop!
