Chapter 235: Outburst

“How’s Nine Frost doing?” Gao Yang asked.

“He was quite badly injured, but he’s recovering well. He’s been making final arrangements for his team members the past few days.”

Gao Yang sighed inwardly. Nine Frost was the sole survivor of the fourth team. He could only imagine how heartbroken and guilty the man felt.

Ironically, Nine Frost had boasted to the fifth team about their zero mortality for the past three years. How would he feel when he remembered his own words back then?

Fate was indeed a fickle mistress.

“By the way, Nine Frost is in the White Tiger branch right now,” said Gray Bear. “I saw him in the training room.”

“Should we give him the uniforms?” Can perked up. “We haven’t welcomed him to the team officially! We should remedy that!”

“It’s better to give him some time on his own,” Gao Yang disagreed.

“I’m on Can’s side this time.” Gray Bear smiled shrewdly. “He’s been wallowing for long enough. It’s time he picks himself up.”

Gao Yang turned to Lithe Snake and Ronnie. They seemed to agree with Gray Bear.

“Alright. Let’s go then.” In matters like this, Gao Yang followed the majority.

Dressed in their uniforms, the group left the room and took the member elevator to the 48th floor. Ñ00v€l--ß1n hosted the premiere release of this chapter.

There were a variety of training facilities for the members, including gyms, sparring rooms with different setups, and soundproofed gun range.

Since most awakeners had a mundane identity to maintain during the day, and they didn’t need as much sleep as regular people, it was a common occurrence for Guild members to be active at night.

Even though it was midnight, there were still quite a lot of awakeners training here.

Gao Yang and his team entered the boxing ring. Wearing a black boxing outfit and a pair of red gloves, Nine Frost was punching a sandbag the size of Gray Bear.

Pop, pop pop, pop.

Nine Frost only had eyes for the sandbag as he swung his fists, his back drenched in sweat.

“Nine Frost,” Gray Bear called out to him.

Nine Frost stopped and looked up at Gray Bear, his gaze blazing with intense emotion.

“Catch.”

Gray Bear threw him the uniforms. Nine Frost didn’t catch it with his gloved hands. Instead, the uniforms landed on his chest before dropping to the floor.

“You’re a member of the fifth team now, and like me, you’re a vice-captain...”

Bam!

“I’m game if you just want to vent, Nine Frost, but I won’t pull my punches if you’re trying to kill me.” Gao Yang decided to give Nine Frost another chance.

Before their mission at the Eleventh High School, Nine Frost might be a little stronger than Gao Yang, but things were different now.

“You’ll die at my hand!”

Nine Frost howled and rushed at Gao Yang with renewed vigor, picking up his pace and moving without reservation.

A powerful straight punch came.

Instead of dodging it, Gao Yang crossed his arms and blocked the hit with his left arm.

Replicate...

Gao Yang was caught off guard. The contact was too brief for him to replicate the Talent!

Nine Frost had made a quick jab and pulled his fist back in less than 0.8 second before making another punch at the same target. Although he had sacrificed raw power for speed, with Weak Point activated, the impact was buffed five times, leaving Gao Yang’s left arm numb.

Now came the third jab.

Gao Yang had already shifted his arm, preventing Nine Frost from hitting the same spot.

Fire!“

Gao Yang shot flames from his right hand at Nine Frost.

Shielding his head with both hands, Nine Frost jumped backward. As soon as he landed, a fireball flew toward his face, which took him by surprise. He had never seen Gao Yang cast his fire from a long range.

In truth, Gao Yang’s fireball was quite weak, but not knowing that, Nine Frost jumped sideways on instinct, and due to poor form, he had to make a roll on the floor to get back to his feet.

That took him 2 additional seconds, enough for Gao Yang to get into Nine Frost’s space. When Nine Frost recovered, there was less than half a meter between them.

“Fire!” Gao Yang opened both hands and moved to activate Fire.

“Ah!”

Nine Frost wasn’t going to give him the chance, and he threw a powerful heavy punch at Gao Yang’s chest.

Gao Yang’s lips curled up.

Nine Frost realized to his shock that Gao Yang hadn’t shot fire from his hands, but simply shouted the move. Instead, he had crossed his arms before his chest to take the hit.

Bam!

The heavy punch landed on Gao Yang’s right arm, pushing him a few meters backward.

However, Nine Frost’s fist ended up in contact with Gao Yang’s body for more than 0.8 second.
