Chapter 62: Duel
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
A place like the Knight’s Academy naturally had no lack of stages. Instead of calling this a duel stage, it was more like a performance stage, other than the more central area, there were seats for spectators surrounding it.
The entire stage also had the Baroque architectural style, it was elegant and beautiful.
Originally, Ye Feng and Blake’s argument had already attracted a lot of attention. Blake was a popular person in the Knight’s Academy after all, many people caught wind after such a commotion had occurred.
Ye Feng slowly walked up the stage as he could feel that it was not as fragile as it seemed, the stage was reinforced specially with tough materials. The actual duel stage was a distance away from the seating area, but to protect the spectators, there was an invisible barrier between the stage and seating area to ensure that nobody would get hurt.
There were already many people seated here, it was clear that most of them had come in curiosity due to Blake’s fame. The ones who were around when the argument started earlier filled the rest in on what had happened.
“This shows that this person is actually not cowardly.”
“What’s the point of courage? Who knows how long he can last under Blake’s attacks, we all know that Blake is not to be trifled with.”
“This person is screwed, Blake had already declared that he would go all-in for this duel earlier.”
As the students discussed the matter of this duel, it was clear that they already knew the outcome of this fight before it even started.
“But the other guy is not from our academy?”
“I’ve never seen him before.”
“It must be because he is not from our academy that he has the guts to provoke senior.”
…
On the duel stage, Ye Feng could not really hear these kinds of conversations anymore from such a distance, but when he saw their gazes of pity and sympathy, he could tell that they thought he had no chance of winning this duel.
The truth was, Ye Feng did not feel surprised about this either, these students did not know anything about him, even though he had already been here for some time.
Most people basically thought of him as a scam artist, if they did not teach him a lesson, he would not learn his place.
But regarding these conversations, Ye Feng felt nothing from them.
The Knight’s Academy was a school, they had certain requirements towards the students’ moral conduct, thus, there were no bets set up.
Of course, this was because they were already certain of the outcome, nobody thought that Ye Feng could win, including Blake.
“Kid, if you admit defeat now, I can spare you.” Blake raised his brows as he said, thinking that Ye Feng was certain to lose, the truth was, Blake wanted to teach Ye Feng a lesson even during the previous encounter.
But back then, Ye Feng was forging something, he completely ignored the person in front of him. Because of that, Blake had been feeling annoyed internally.
Even so, how could Ye Feng lose this, he looked at Blake with sympathy in his eyes: “You are really a brainless fool.”
Ye Feng’s gaze successfully angered Blake, without hesitation, he drew his sword and slashed towards Ye Feng.
Ye Feng raised his brows, he did not think that Blake would take action so swiftly, his strength was truly remarkable to be part of the top ten in the academy.
The surrounding people started to cheer the moment they saw Blake charging ahead —
“Senior, good luck, show him how strong we are.”
“Senior, good luck, show him what humiliation looks like.”
…
But out of their expectations, Blake’s full powered attack was easily dodged by Ye Feng, who did not even take out his own weapon at this point in time.
But Blake did not give up after he missed, he quickly adjusted his posture and slashed at Ye Feng again. Because of the continuous motion by Blake, a huge force was produced that even caused a black trail to form on the ground of the duel stage.
Ye Feng did not dodge completely this time, he could easily use his weapon to block the attack from Blake to resolve this move.
But Blake reacted very quickly this time, after he missed an attack again, he quickly changed his stance and stabbed instead.
But what Ye Feng basically did was to twist his sword around and perfectly dodge the stab that came towards him without excessive movement.
The surrounding cheers slowly disappeared as the two fought.
They were all students of the Knight’s Academy, they could clearly see the fight that was going on in front of them, on the surface, it seemed that Blake was suppressing Ye Feng throughout this fight.
But it was clear to many people that Ye Feng had not actually made an attack yet, he was basically standing there and blocking Blake’s attacks each time.
“He has been blocking from the start.”
“Yes, he has not attacked once.”
“Senior Blake is basically completely manipulated by this person.”
At first, Blake did not feel anything strange, but afterwards, he noticed that Ye Feng had not been moving much from his initial spot, while he had been constantly running around the stage.
Right now, he had basically no way of doing anything, Ye Feng’s defenses were perfect.
Could he only defend and not attack?
Blake thought about it and stopped, he took a deep breath before looking at Ye Feng: “Come hit me, why are you not attacking me, are you afraid?”
Originally, Ye Feng did not attack because he wanted the other party to notice their difference and surrender, but to think that this person was so blind and stupid, without any realization of the difference in their strength.
Ye Feng felt that he was asking for too much, thus, he swept his sword and said: “As you wish.”
Blake, who could not dodge in time, fell heavily to the ground, this also meant the end of the duel.
