BXBX NOVEL Chapter 105 The Decision
The Decision
Upon hearing his leader's words, the bodyguard was shocked.
He knew very well his boss's strength, but it was already too late for him to dodge. He could only brace himself and take the blow directly.
Zhou Mingrui did not care about such things. Of course he would choose to pick on the weaker ones first. Reducing the number of people surrounding him was the best way to go.
Without any fancy moves, Zhou Mingrui threw a punch.
In such close combat situations, his blade was basically a burden. It was best to use his fists.
Zhou Mingrui, who was swinging his fist, felt the air in front of him suddenly change. Following that, he could sense a invisible solid form appearing in the space in front of him.
With a bang, his fist directly came into contact with an invisible wall and made a muffled sound.
"Air wall? No, this isn't air, it's some sort of invisible solid object!"
Zhou Mingrui did not hesitate as he raised his other fist and swung it again.
This time, he didn't hold back and applied an even stronger force.
The next moment, his fist came into contact with the invisible solid wall again. However, this time, his fist did not stop. Instead, it directly shattered the wall and landed on the chest of the bodyguard behind it.
Suddenly, a ball of light appeared on the bodyguard's chest. After a moment of intense glowing, it dissipated into the air.
The bodyguard had a pained expression. He immediately stepped back and retreated.
Zhou Mingrui did not chase him. This was because all the other bodyguards had begun to close in on him. If he continued, he would be surrounded.
"I can't waste any more time with them."
Zhou Mingrui's eyes flickered with phantom flames as he charged at the bodyguard with all his might.
"Stop him!"
The bodyguard leader immediately shouted.
However, Zhou Mingrui once again burst forth with speed. He directly bypassed the three bodyguards who had surrounded him and rushed towards the bodyguard from before.
Under the bodyguard's shocked gaze, Zhou Mingrui's fist landed on his face.
After a strange sound, the bodyguard was sent flying again.
That strange feeling allowed Zhou Mingrui to confirm the bodyguard's skill type. He was already prepared for this, so he immediately conjured a bone shield.
This bone shield wasn't used for defense or attack, but appeared under the bodyguard, directly blocking his retreat.
Seeing that his escape route was blocked, the bodyguard revealed a helpless expression.
However, he did not choose to dodge this time. Instead, he turned around and charged straight at Zhou Mingrui. The latter immediately understood his obvious intention.
"You want to trap and delay my movements?"
Zhou Mingrui understood what was going on. He immediately conjured a long staff in his hand. Exerting force from his waist, he swung the staff at the bodyguard's abdomen.
The bodyguard's expression changed, and his face contorted in pain as he was sent flying by the staff.
This time, Zhou Mingrui could sense his attack land on his opponent. It meant that his opponent's skill would not be usable for a period of time.
He turned around and looked at the bodyguards who were surrounding him. A smile suddenly appeared on his face.
In the outside world.
Watching the pitch black area covered by Zhou Mingrui's domain, Zhao Guian's eyes narrowed.
He raised his hand, and a bodyguard immediately went up to him.
"Call the family and let them know that the situation here is a little troublesome. Ask them to send a few powerful men over." Zhao Guian said lightly.
"Understood, fifth master." The bodyguard immediately nodded and walked out.
After waiting quietly for ten minutes, the domain space in the field began to distort. Then, with a flash, the Phantom Prison unfolded and revealed the real situation inside.
Only two figures were left standing.
One of them was the bodyguard leader, and the other was Zhou Mingrui.
However, what surprised Zhao Guian was that Zhou Mingrui's clothes were undamaged. On the other hand, the bodyguard leader's suit was basically destroyed.
After the domain was released, the bodyguard leader knelt on the ground on one knee. He panted heavily, and his eyes were filled with endless fear.
This scene confused Zhao Guian. He knew the strength of the man very well.
Although he was only a team leader, his summoned spirit and talent were worth cultivating. He could even take on a higher position in the future.
And no matter what, he was still a level 57 close combat summoner. How could he lose to a student?
Furthermore, from the fear in his eyes, Zhou Mingrui seemed to be hiding a terrifying trump card?
Zhao Guian squinted his eyes. No one knew what he was thinking, but his gaze became sharper and sharper.
"Now, can we have a peaceful talk?"
Zhou Mingrui stretched his neck and asked in a tone so calm that it made everyone feel as if they were in a frozen cave.
"You're Yan Wuyue's summoned spirit, right?" Zhao Guian suddenly asked.
Without waiting for Zhou Mingrui's reply, he continued, "I've read your information. Your talent and potential is amazing. I thought you were just an ordinary top freshmen, but now my opinion has changed."
Zhou Mingrui slowly walked towards Zhao Guian, but the latter did not move and continued, "With your talent, if you come to the Zhao family, with the help of our massive resources, your future will be limitless!"
"I also found out that Zhao Anqi seems to like you a lot. I can even make you two a couple. What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Mingrui shook his head and said, "I'm not convinced. Besides, if I really wanted anything, do you think I would need you to give it to me?"
"As for the so-called massive resources, with the talent of Yan Wuyue and I, do you think the Heavenly Saint Academy and the future Research Institute we choose will be no match for you, the Zhao family? "
"Haha!" Zhao Guian laughed, "Kid, the Academy and the Research Institute are not owned by your family. How much resource can you actually get if you distribute them to all the students?"
"And don't think that just because you're a top student in Heavenly Saint Institute, you'll still be a top student in the Research Institute. You must know that there's always someone better."
"But it'll be different if you join the Zhao family. I can guarantee that the resources you'll receive will definitely satisfy you."
When Zhou Mingrui was about ten steps away from Zhao Guian, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
His entire body was covered in a black cloth, only revealing his eyes. However, the bloodlust in those eyes was not concealed at all.
"I've lived for so long that I've realized that sometimes, some important decisions really need to be carefully considered before they can be made."
Zhao Guian stared at Zhou Mingrui and said, "Otherwise, you'll regret it for the rest of your life."
