Chapter 1130

(Unedited)

…

Nobody expected the Lightning Blade Academy to suddenly pose that challenge. No one expected that the victor who is ready to claim that title would challenge the losers in a Captain to Captain confrontation.

It was a truly tempting offer that no one would dare ignore.

If the Skymountain School could defeat the enemy captain, then they could claim this win for themselves… and that would be a great victory.

They would be proud to say that they have defeated one of the top ten teams.

So how could they not feel elated at this time?

This kind of challenge has no rule in the games.

But as honorable warriors, this type of challenge has happened too often in the War Games before. And sometimes the opponent would trick the other group into attacking the captain in the group. But in the many battles that have happened in the War Games, only a few would disgrace themselves in this kind of scenario.

And so the captain of the Skymountain School suddenly lifted his foot and step forward to accept the challenge.

How could he not? It is their chance to turn the tide of battle and win this for their team.

"Captain… good luck!" one of the attackers said while patting the captain's shoulder.

The captain nodded and takes a step forward in front of his team.

The two captains face each other and bowed in respect.

This is like an unwritten rule of the game… a solemn pledge of warriors.

The captain from the Lightning Blade Academy is called Rong Tanglo, while the one from the Skymountain School is Xhang Luiyin.

Senior Rong takes out a long wooden sword from his side, while Senior Xhang takes out a three-section staff.

The students began to cheer loudly as the two began to square off.

Using their Ki the two began to infuse their weapons making is stronger. But the Ki did not cover the weapon as this is not permitted in the game. Plus the surface of these special weapons is filled with runes to prevent such a thing from happening.

The two collided and began to fight with each other. In one looks it seems that Senior Xhang has the advantage as he could make Senior Rong fall back in each of their exchange of blows.

"Senior Xhang!"

"Senior Xhang!"

"Senior Xhang!"

The students from the Skymountain School began chanting his name as they cheer loudly which almost made the whole open stadium shake.

"It seems that Senior Xhang truly has the skills… it's just a pity that your commanding ability is subpar…" Senior Rong suddenly said with a sneer.

Senior Xhang sneered and then went into an attacking position.

"You talk too much…" he said as he suddenly swings his three-section staff.

Twang!!!

Suddenly, it hits the flat of the wooden sword and was mysteriously deflected away. This quickly gained gasp from the audience.

In this move, Senior Xhang has suddenly exposed a spot in his skill.

So why would Senior Rong not gran this chance to attack his enemy?

He took a step and then twisted the sword in his hand. The sword suddenly began to spin like a drill. This is clearly directed to the exposed body of Senior Xhang.

"Watch out!" someone shouted.

Swoosh!!!

The wooden sword stuck the side of Senior Xhang which is luckily his armor. But his body was sent flying to the ground in a sorry manner with his three-section staff flying out of his hand.

When he landed… he immediately spews a mouthful of blood.

It was clear that he was wounded grievously. Luckily for him, his reflexes were fast and were just in time to shift his body to make sure that the tip of the weapon of his opponent would hit the armor. If not, then he would surely be skewered by the wooden sword.

Ting! Ting! Ting!

A bell suddenly rang three times, which means that one of the teams surrendered.

And from the battle alone it is clear that the ones who surrendered are from the Skymountain School.

"That was intense… that attack from that Senior Rong is truly terrifying."

"I thought that the Lightning Blade Academy would lose… It's no wonder they would dare challenge the enemy captain… they actually have a very strong captain…"

"I wonder how the Ogden Academy would fare against the Lightning Blade Academy..."

"I don't know… but we can only guess… I think they would fare fine since the Lighting Blade Academy has already fought once… They might have a chance…"

"Who knows… But I could tell that the Lighting Blade team is truly formidable…"

…

Inside the tent of the Ogden academy, a heavy atmosphere could be felt. Everyone is wearing a frown on their faces as they contemplate the battle they just saw.

"Powerful attacking team… plus strong defensive skills… The Lightning Blade team members are monsters…"

"Do we have a chance?"

"This… I think we should just quit…"

"Damn it…"

Some of the students in the tent said while fear could be seen in their eyes.

"What is this? Are you all afraid already when you have not truly encountered them yet? Is this your true attitude?" suddenly Senior Yao said while glaring at her teammates.

"But captain… You saw the battle out there… The Skymountain School was defeated without even putting up a strong fight. It was like they were toying with them…"

"Are you all going to be cowards now?" Coach An reprimanded.

"We have been training for this… I know and trust that you guys can make it! Let's work together okay? We can defeat them with our teamwork!" Senior Yao said trying to motivate her team.

Everyone nodded and became calm, but the fear in their eyes is still there.

Xin Ja who is watching this showed a slight smile on his face.

"They can only bully the weak… but against strong opponents… they are just cowards…" he thought as he shook his head and left the tent.

He could see that the people in the stadium are already leaving. There is a one-hour break before the next battle commences, so everyone walks out to get some refreshments.

He took this chance to check on the crystal recorders and check the videos secretly.

Feeling contended of the outcome, he quickly sent it in the Mule... then sets up another one on the crystal recorder's place.

He did this to the rest and showed a faint smile as he walks back to the tent.

What Xin Ja did not notice is that an elder from the Skymountain School has already noticed him. That elder secretly walks to the crystal recorder and checks it. He did not notice anything weird and could only see a plain crystal without any Ki fluctuation.

Plus he saw what Xin Ja did, it seems that he just put this in the four corners and then take them out after, then replace them. He wanted to ask that youth what he is doing but did not bother.

The arena field is protected by an array formation and no outside force could interfere with the War Games happening inside.

So he places back the crystal recorder and walks. He decided to check it out after the young man takes it. He is a bit suspicious but more curious about what that small student is doing.

…

Time flew by really fast and the one-hour break is done.

The Ogden Academy team members are already on the field while the ones from the Lightning Blade Academy team have also entered.

The Lightning Blade team is not that stupid after all because they have replaced some of their players that were wounded in the first battle.

Xin Ja and the rest of the alchemist apprentice along with the medical master-apprentice are waiting in the infirmary area.

At this time, Xin Ja actually volunteer to be one of the people that would carry the wounded. So he stood near the field along with a partner while holding a wooden carrier.

It did not take long before the battle began.

It seems that due to the fear that the Ogden academy team is feeling, their mental state is not right and one could tell that their performance is not up to standard.

The veteran students are faring fine, but the beginners seem to be already breaking under pressure.

"Damn it! Why are those guys like this?" Xin Ja's partner commented.

Xin Ja heard that this guy has been in a War Games event before.

"I think they are demoralized… by fear." Xin Ja said while shaking his head.

"Well, it can't be helped. The reason why we have these trials for the newbies to be prepared for the real thing…"

"Let me tell you… In the City level War Games… there are more powerful opponents. But this would be a good thing too for the new ones to be prepared and improve rapidly." He explained.

"That is good then… But I think Senior Yao is not doing a bad thing keeping everyone calm…" Xin Ja said while nodding his head.

Although the Ogden Academy team is being suppressed so far no accident has happened.
