Chapter 73: Alpha's Claws

Bam! Bam! Bam!

David kept punching with Scorching Fury towards her and Daisy kept taking a few steps back, one at a time. Soon, she was very close to reaching the ring line drawn by the instructor. She was as well aware that the moment she crossed the line, it signifies that she had lost the spar. Also, her points would surely be deducted.

"Damn!" Daisy's gave grew dark as she panicked slightly, then without warning, she stamped her feet towards the ground. She stabilized her self and with a lowshout.

Rebounding Force!

Her vascular muscles quivered and veins suddenly popped up from her arm with sheer power, she had accumulated enough power in her. In the next instance, and with an unprecedented speed, she released all the power in her with full force. She had used this technique many times to turn back a bad situation and it had never failed her, not yet at least.

She instantly hurled the deadly palm at David's chest. The air gave way as the wind screeched with the force. A normal Spryher would be too late to react and would only watch as the palm hit them.

David's face immediately changed slightly, the power within those palm would most likely kill, if not injure a normal human but thankfully, he wasn't. And without hesitation, he stomped his foot as propelled his blood velocity along his vessels to its limits, raw strength filled his body as his second heart kept pumping dark blood liquid into his system.

That wasn't all, he also activated the second state of his Technique. 2nd Degree Burn. That's right, he also had the time to execute his own technique.

Heat engulfed the area of his hands as the ssurroundings distorted from the heat. As blood red veins covered a great length of his arms, squirming and quivering like worms, it was a terrifying sight, with a great measure of strength, David punched out with full force!

Bang!

David felt a horrific amount of force poured into him, his body quivered as if it had been hit by a train. He was badly shaken by the impact. Taking four steps backward to negate the force. Four deep foot print could be seen on the field as the grass had been crushed long ago.

Veins covered his body as his eyes appeared quite blood shot. Blood rushed into his head and his face was flushed red. It was a sign of one losing control of ones Blood Cycle.

His circulation was disrupted by the force leading to him needing a few seconds to gather his blood and then propelling them forwards. But in a battle, a few seconds of paralysis was not much different than losing on the good side bit on the downside, it was no different than death.

Meanwhile, Daisy's palm rammed at Davids', she was stopped dead at her tracks in action. Disbelief filled her face as did she couldn't believe what was happening.

David's condition cold be said to be serious and likewise be taken lightly as he could forcibly control his blood if he wanted to, with the level of control he had over his body and blood such situation was as simple as flipping a coin.

It wouldn't require much effort but if he did that, it was no different than laying his cards bare for other to read.he wouldn't do that. Instead, he chose to wait for his body to recover naturally, but it would take at least 3 to 5 seconds to gather. But that was enough time for his opponent to pummel him.

But to his surprise, the counter attack he had been waiting for didn't come. He looks upwards only to realize that his opponent was on the ground, unconscious.

It seems that the attack she had just performed was a double edged sword. It increases her strength amount to a terrifying degree, but then she had to pay for it.

David heaved a sigh of relief, he thought he was about to lose, if she had come at him that moment, he was definitely going to lose. He gathered himself and walked back towards his position in his line as the instructor had called his win on the match and had taken the unconcious girl and layed her down together with the other unconcious students

David's eye shone as he took in a deep breathe. It was the first time he tested out his strength amidst his peers, he couldnt help but think it satisfying.

His thoughts were momentarily disrupted by the instructor.

"Nihyuh and Mexz!" the instructor spoke loudly. David watched as Nihyuh walked towards the ring with steady and soft steps.

Murmurs involuntarily entered his ears. "Mexz? Is it the same Mexz?" Someone asked in confusion.

"You mean Mexz Rall? The one ranked fifth in the current ranking's list?" another student asked dubiously.

The students nodded their heads in confirmation.

One then suddenly spoke up, "Then, that student should be done for."

"Yea, i agree with you. Since he is still able to keep the position, he is definitely very strong." the student beside him spoke up suddenly.

"That other student is definitely done for. I wager he wouldnt last 5 moves from him." someone whispered.

David didn't mind the murmurs. Instead, he focused his attention on the fight that was about to take place.

Wierdly enough, Nihyuh had a confident expression on his face as he stood opposite his opponent.

But his opponent had an even more ferocious and arrogant expression on his face as he gazed at Nihyuh with an indifferent expression.

The instructor has long since grown tired, she tap at her holographic projection, and the record of her voice played out.

"Start!"

Contrary to ones expectations, non of them took the initiative to attack and it seemed as if it was beneath them to do so.

A minute passed but both of them stood still without the slightest intent on attacking.

The time continued to tick and soon, two minutes had passed, but still both figures stood motionlessly at the field as though they were there to take a breathe of fresh air not at all concerned.

Although the instructor hadn't said anything about there being no winners. It was known to every one that should the match end as a draw, both students would have their credits deducted.

After what seemed like forever, Mexz's expression turned slightly. It was almost a minute to the end of their spar, meaning four minutes had almost passed but as he looked at the face of his opponent, it looked quite relaxed as though the loss in credits wasn't that big of a deal.

But to him, he couldn't afford such losses. 5 credits was of huge significance to him, not to mention the 20 credits he would gain if he won the match.

Therefore he grew impatient inside but then, he suddenly smiled "Its quite surprising. I've never thought you were quite the tolerant type." Mexz glanced at Nihyuh.

As Nihyuh was about to open his mouth to reply, his eyes suddenly flashed as his figure faded. Not even half of a second had passed, another figure occupied the spot along with a cruel and fierce wind accompanied by a hair raising fist!

Mexz had taken the initiative. He wants to be able to graduate, or get chosen by a professor. Having a few points deducted from his current accumulations of credits would badly destroy his plans. He wasn't going to allow that.

Now, all he needed to do was end the match in the next 40 seconds.

Instantly, he pursued Nihyuh's figure, dishing out fist after fist with terrifying force. The two figures were like shadows, flashing in and out of existence on the field, stirring up the winds.

Ordinary students were unable to figure out their current location. They could only gape in astonishment.

David's eyes narrowed into thin slits as he squinted. If it wasn't for his body Instincts, telling or more like warning him about Nihyuh, he would have been too surprised to say anything.

Whoosh

The speed at which the two figures were moving, were inconceivable. David figured he would only surpass their speed if he used Two-Fold Steps (He can regulate the amount of strength he chose to deliver. So instead of using Three-Fold Steps to triple his speed, He figured doubling his speed would suffice, hence Two-Fold Steps)

Fist after fist whirled through the air, as terrifying shockwaves could be felt

Their movements speed were simply terrifying, and no one knows if they are utilizing a movement technique but it was highly likely.

Mexz's face grew increasingly dark, according to his calculations, it would take more than 40 seconds before he could catch up to Nihyuh's figure.

He didn't have time for that. His fire suddenly stopped and his smile grew sinister "you are truly good, but these ends here you forced my hands." he suddenly shouted

"Shadow Eclipse!"

Swoosh!

Nihyuh's face changed as he twisted his head sideways.

A sharp palm blade suddenly swept pass his face, drawing a thin line of blade down his ears.

Mexz's figure had somehow emerged behind him!

Again, another palm sliced through the air, slicing the air apart with a screech as Nihyuh forcibly twisted his shoulder to evade the terrifying amount of force!

Suddenly, Nihyuh's face grew savage, his wrinkled a bit as if he had gotten a few years older, his hair grew by a few centimetres, but, the only the hair in his eyebrows were visible, with a low growl escaping his lips.

If one had a sharp eye sight, one would see as his finger nails grew a few centimetres long, curved and sharp, his body growing a few centimetres tall his shoulders got broader

Wolf King's Curse!

All of this changes happened in almost half a second. With a blast.

Bang!

The ground caved in and with amazing speed, Nihyuh's body flashed, escaping the Mexz's attacks.

And before anyone could notice, a claw slashed through the air in a link of an eye!

Alpha's Claw!

Whoosh!

A figure screamed suddenly and unexpectedly, the figure was sent flying through the air as it zoomed out of the ring like a cannon ball!

Bam Bam Bam

The figure's momentum stopped and every one could see who it was.
