Fight

The afternoon class passed in the blink of an eye. Unfortunately, all of the students weren't in the mood to listen to class. They were only focused on one thing, and that was the duel between Xia Ping and Xiong Batian.

At the moment, a crowd of people had formed around the Soaring Dragon Platform to the southwest. Pretty much all of them were students who heard the news and came over to watch the fun.

As for Xiong Batian, he arrived early and was currently standing on the Soaring Dragon Platform with his eyes closed, his face calm and his arms crossed, as he rested and prepared for the battle ahead, practically radiating confidence. He really did seem as if he was waiting for Xia Ping.

"There's so many people here! Who the heck is dueling with Xiong Batian?" A student asked. He only came over to join in on the fun because there was so many people gathered here, but didn't actually know what was going on.

Another student answered his question for him, "I heard that it's another student called Xia Ping. He's only at the third layer of Martial Disciple, but because Xiong Batian wanted to help a friend of his get revenge, he was dragged onto the Soaring Dragon Platform."

"Seriously? Is this kid insane? Who doesn't know that Xiong Batian was naturally born with superhuman strength and is at the fifth layer of the Martial Disciple rank? If this kid faces off against him, Xiong Batian could probably send him to the hospital with one punch," another student said in shock and disbelief.

"I know, right? That's why I said that this kid is basically overestimating himself."

"The reason why everybody is gathered here is to watch just how tragically this kid is beaten up."

"This battle basically doesn't have any suspense at all. The only thing in question here is how many moves this kid can take before being defeated by Xiong Batian and how many days it takes for him to recover after."

All of the students were discussing this matter.

"Quick, look! Xia Ping has arrived!" a student shouted.

Taking a look, one could see a young student wearing white walking over. No matter how one looked, he just seemed ordinary. However, there was one thing that wasn't ordinary about him: his eyes. They were just too calm. Even now, when he was in front of so many people, he didn't show any signs of panic at all.

Behind him was a large group of students, all of them from class sixteen who had followed Xia Ping after class to join in on the fun here at the Soaring Dragon Platform.

"You've come."

Xiong Batian opened his eyes, a trace of surprise flashing across them as he watched Xia Ping walk onto the Soaring Dragon Platform. "I really did think that you would run away at the last moment. Who knew that you would actually have the guts to come over? Just based on that alone, I can show some mercy and only break five of your ribs." He held up five fingers to make his point.

"There's no need."

Xia Ping waved him off. "You can come at me with all you got. It's already pretty good if you can break a strand of my hair. If you show mercy, then it's likely that you won't even last a single move."

"Arrogance!"

Xiong Batian snorted, scowling at Xia Ping in displeasure. Somebody at the mere third layer of Martial Disciple actually dared to say such words? Who did he think he was?

Once the battle started, this guy will learn what's called "despair". Xiong Batian decided that he absolutely won't show mercy this time around. He would teach this kid a lesson, otherwise this bastard probably won't even know what "respect the strong" meant!

Hearing Xia Ping's words, all of the students off to the side were speechless. He was already on the Soaring Dragon Platform, yet still talked so big. Once he was violently beaten up though, then it was likely that he wouldn't be able to say such things anymore.

Watching from far away, both Gao Wan and Yang Wei sneered. They were waiting for Xia Ping to be violently beaten up by Xiong Batian. At that point, not only would this kid lose the battle, he would also be humiliated and arrested by the police as a pervert.

Xiong Batian turned around and spoke to the teacher wearing white workout clothes standing off to the side. "Teacher, we can start the battle now."

This teacher was the judge of the duel. He was there to uphold the rules and to prevent the loss of human life.

The teacher nodded. "Understood. We can start now. However, please remember that moves to kill are not allowed, otherwise I will immediately take actions to stop you." He gave Xiong Batian a warning glance.

"Relax, teacher. I will be sure to treat him tenderly and with love." Xiong Batian smiled viciously, baring his teeth.

With a "swoosh" the teacher leapt off the Soaring Dragon Platform and announced the start of the duel.

"Xia Ping, being able to duel with me should be your honour. Now, I'll teach you a lesson about what a real expert of the martial path is like. Do remember next time that if you don't have the capability, then don't provoke other people. Otherwise, you'll pay a heavy price."

Xiong Batian gave a battle cry as he took a step forward. This one step caused the entire Soaring Dragon Platform to shake, and with a "bang" forcefully imprint itself as a footprint. Now, filled with a powerful force, his large body dashed forward like darting lightning and punched out!

BOOM! ROAR!

His large fist caused the surrounding air to explode and roar out, as if a real black bear was also roaring alongside him!

Mid-tier martial skill, Darting Lightning Bear Swipe!

With the force of this punch, if it landed on a normal human's body, that body would be split into pieces.

"So strong! That's Xiong Batian for you. This one punch alone already contains a force of five hundred kilograms. Even a block of steel would be punched through with that kind of power. This kind of strength really is too terrifying. A normal six layer Martial Disciple is no match at all."

"As expected of the mid-tier martial art skill, Darting Lightning Bear Swipe. Not only does it have the furious strength of a black bear, it also has the speed of dashing lightning. Once these two traits are combined, every move has a type of violent beauty."

"I didn't think that Xiong Batian would actually go all out at the start. He's not planning on giving that kid any opportunity at all. Way too brutal. Now, he's instantly killed off all hopes of that kid winning."

"Even If a lions hunts a rabbit, they still need to use their full strength, much less Xiong Batian. He isn't the type to underestimate his opponents. I bet that kid will probably be crushed with one punch."

The students below the platform discussed the battle. They were all shocked at the might of Xiong Batian's punch and marvelled at it. As for Xia Ping, he basically didn't have any chance of victory at all.

"Too slow."

Although the other students felt that not only was this punch powerful, it was also extremely fast, Xia Ping felt that it really was way, way too slow. Aside from that, it was also full of openings.
