Chapter 184: Chapter 184 Three-way sparring.

Leon, who heard Soma's last words, opened his eyes in shock because he had never thought that Soma had that thought all along. At first, he felt that Soma intended to fight both of them.

"Soma you?!".

"Sorry, but with this, not just me, but the three of us can learn from each other".

"Hmph, Start the fight then".

Lin Fan snorted because he didn't want to waste any more of his time. Soma nodded his head and turned his attention to teacher Lee. Teacher Lee nodded his head.

"Alright, the three of you, prepare your weapon!".

Soma twisted his wrists as he clenched both hands while moving away from the other two. Leon and Lin Fan also began to step away from their close distance and adequately prepare their respective battle stance.

Leon took out his wooden sword, which he presented to teacher Lee briefly before returning to his place. Lin Fan and Soma are doing stretches to loosen the muscles in their body and face each other with their stance.

"You guys ready?".

Teacher Lee looked toward the three of them, who seemed to have already entered their zone even though the fight hadn't started. From the spectator seat, the other students gulped their saliva as they began to feel the tension in the air as the three of them faced each other. They have this oppressive feeling even though they are just a first-year student in the academy.

Teacher Lee, who saw their potential, couldn't help but feel elated as his spirit pumped. "This is why teaching in this academy was so much fun".

"...Begin!".

With the signal from the teacher Lee, it echoed in the place. No one made any moves. They just stood still and stared silently at each other, observing each of the two opponents that would come to them with the intention of beating him.

The staring contest that unfolds for a couple of seconds breaks as Soma's body, slightly twitched, accelerates from his place and reappears in front of Leon, who is stunned in silence seeing Soma's appearance.

A lump of shadow approached his face, making Leon's back tingle in fright. Leon, whose body was trained in swordsmanship, reflexively bent his knee, lowering his stance further and also dodging Soma's punch to his face.

From a single punch from Soma, his forehead had already sweated. He grits his teeth and plans to counter. But, before he unleashed his counter, another threat appeared beside him in the form of a tiger-palm that could rip his consciousness away.

Lin Fan, who joined the fight, began to strike Leon, who seemed weaker than him at first—seeing Leon distance himself from the battlefield. Then, he shifted his attention to Soma. "You first". Lin Fan began to mark his target completely, Soma, and he attacked Soma relentlessly.

Soma, facing Lin Fan in close-quarter combat, feels slight joy because of his growth and his sharpened brain that can remember everything in a single sight. In the hurling attack from Lin Fan, he dodged every attack directed at him with minimal movement.

"Haa!".

Leon, who regained his footing, began to enter the fight as he swung his sword in a horizontal strike, making Soma and Lin Fan lower their stance.

"Get lost".

Lin Fan, who interrupted closed his distance with Leon before he struck from Leon under. Leon, who notices it's too late, receives a tiger palm in his abdomen, making his face contorted in pain.

"Hmpt".

"Don't let your guard down".

Soma approached Lin Fan's side and slightly thrust his fist toward his right jaw, and it made a thud noise upon making contact with Lin fan jaw as he blanked for his brain and received a sudden shock that numbed his thoughts for a while.

"Soma?!".

Leon, who noticed Soma coming to him, was alarmed as he began to grit his teeth to ignore the pain in his abdomen. He leaped back to create a distance between them first, but he was making a wrong judgment because Soma had already predicted his movement.

Soma began to change his course and accelerated and caught up with Leon. Leon saw Soma's palm directed toward his side abdomen before he received a jolt that shook his nerves and brain, ripping his guts and making his stomach scream in agony.

"Gahak!".

Leon was blasted for a couple of meters, rolling on the ground, clutching his aches abdomen. Soma, who still maintains his stance, raised his eyebrows.

"Did I hit him too hard?".

Soma felt a tingling sensation that pierced his spine from behind. He rolled to his front and soon turned his back, standing up while preparing his middle stance. He saw Lin Fan, with his fiery eyes, begin to launch his attack once more.

However, to his shock, from his side, he felt a thin shadow that traveled in a straight line aimed at his throat. Soma jerked his body down before leaping to his side and saw Leon drenched in sweat, launching his attack ignoring the pain.

At this moment, the thoughts of Leon and Lin Fan became aligned with one purpose as they realized with their current strength alone, they couldn't defeat the strongest boy in front of them, begrudgingly they hearts began tilted to one side, and that defeat Soma first and then finish the battle with the two of them later.

Soma, who noticed the change and the atmosphere between the two, flashed his white canines, pleased with the results of his choice.

"Come!".

They clenched their swords and fists, accelerating simultaneously, and began their onslaught toward Soma.

The sudden change in the tide of the battle made the other students' gaze bloated as they also began to understand within those brief exchanges they had. Leon and Lin Fan realized they were no match against Soma's might.

Hina and Xiao Lian, who saw the changing tides in the battle, knitted their brows as they also would do the same if in their shoes.

Soma, who was in the middle of the swirling storm from both attacks, sharpened his sense to its limit as he observed every minuscule of their movement, breathing, and even their technique. Each moment passed, and his brain began to process the stored knowledge he obtained in this sparring, but he didn't have any intention to use it soon.

"Lin Fan distracts him!".

"Shut up!".

Despite the curse words that Lin fan hurls at Leon. He still followed it and began to engage in close combat with Soma alone. Lin Fan, who had never felt this sensation, felt the dormant dragon in his heart gradually awoke.

Lin Fan's's's heart that which feel empty because of the constant empty praise from his peers in his hometown to gain his attention, and the matter about his family began to fade away as his mind was currently in full swing about the intense fight that made his blood boil, his heart racing, and his sharpened thought, processing a way to win was unfold before him, making him recalled the joyful moment he was first trained in Martial Art under his late Grandparents.

Without his knowing, his lips were lifted up, and the aura that surrounded him wholly changed. Soma, who noticed the change, lifted the corner of his mouth, enjoying the sparring with awakened Lin Fan. "Good, just be the way you are, and don't let anyone bother your life. You are a person who could stand on your own undeterred in the face of danger. …I will not let you fall into the wrong path".

At first, Soma was just being asked by Martial Saint to help his descendant if possible. Still, seeing Lin Fan's current state, he retrach his opinion about him and would help him willingly if he had a chance because Lin Fan deserved more than just a lousy title of Villain.

"Haa!".

Soma, whose thoughts wander a bit, creates a slight opening, making Lin Fan attack connected as it grazes his cheeks, now have a cut, oozing a warm red liquid that drenched his cheek. He deflected Lian Fan's attack and then launched his palm strike straight at Lin Fan's solar plexus, making him lose consciousness for a brief moment before Lin Fan dropped into the arena, clutching his abdomen.

A shadow of a blade loomed over Soma as he saw Leon, who hid from his radar, come from behind and managed to graze his other cheeks, and now his cheeks were bleeding.

Soma dropped his stance, putting his palm on the ground, switching his stance before thrusting his right leg upward in a back kick that connected to Leon's abdomen, making him throw up the gas in his lungs and get knocked out.

"That's enough!".
