Chapter 305: Chapter 209: The Power of One

’Fuck! How is this kid so fast...’

At the critical moment, Qingshan’s Inner Qi erupted. His muscles bulged, threatening to rip his white suit apart. He swept his Bright Silver Spear horizontally, barely managing to block the sword strike.

BOOM...

Slayer came crashing down. Qingshan’s Bright Silver Spear bent at a sharp angle under the immense force. He was sent flying back several dozen feet, only stopping himself by stabbing his spear into the ground.

Before Yu Fei could press his attack, a bone-chilling cold washed over him, accompanied by stinging pains all over his body.

He instantly swapped places with his decoy. The spot where he’d just been standing was immediately flooded with bullets. Yun Jing was monitoring the battle the entire time, directing the Martial Artists with superpowered firearms to interrupt Yu Fei’s assault.

He had just regained his footing when five more people swarmed him from all sides. In the distance, Zhang Hu watched like a hawk, his Dragon Sparrow suddenly glowing as he gathered power, ready to unleash a fatal blow at any moment.

Qingshan unfastened his cloak and tossed it aside. With a flicker, he vanished.

The director of the Sleep Bureau was actually a reconnaissance-type Martial Artist.

In the distance, a dozen or so people aimed their superpowered firearms at Yu Fei, ready to interfere at a critical moment.

It was obvious Zhang Hu and Qingshan were treating him like a boss fight, planning to wear him down and kill him.

Yu Fei took a deep breath.

THUMP!

His heart pounded like a war drum. The time had come to fight with everything he had.

The Melt Gold Jade Body Skill had plenty of techniques for explosive power; he just hadn’t needed to use them before.

The style of his sword changed, shifting to a light swordsmanship known for its agility and speed. In a flash, a flurry of cuts and slashes threw the five attackers’ offense into disarray.

Suddenly, the five scattered to the sides. A massive, ten-meter-long blade of light, held in one hand by Zhang Hu, came crashing down on him with the weight of a mountain.

Yu Fei immediately switched to a heavy sword stance. Star Shattering Slash!

A turquoise Profound Primordial Qi billowed out, empowering Yu Fei to unleash a barrage of sword light. But even with the boost from his Sword Intent, he was still sent flying by the Dragon Sparrow Yanyue Saber.

His Inner Qi Realm of Fu Liu Ruo Lake had already become his greatest weakness.

In his Reversing Destiny Vision, he saw that Qingshan was already sneaking up on him. These two Martial Artists, both at the level of sophomore class leaders, fought without a shred of martial honor, resorting to all sorts of sneak attacks without hesitation.

The clash with Zhang Hu had left the web of his thumb numb despite his strength. Yu Fei immediately formed a Sword Technique seal with his left hand. The sword-shaped mark on his brow flared with brilliant light, and dozens of incomparably swift, boundless Sword Qi projectiles shot toward the stealthed Qingshan.

Qingshan was horrified. Forgetting his sneak attack on Yu Fei, he thrust his Bright Silver Spear out in a torrential downpour of strikes, barely managing to shatter the strange streams of Sword Qi.

’This kid’s techniques are so bizarre.’

At that moment, Yu Fei’s body shifted left without any warning. He raised Slayer vertically to block in front of him just as a dense hail of bullets flew his way. He struggled to steady himself.

In the blink of an eye, another six or seven people closed in for the kill, while Zhang Hu stood ready with his Dragon Sparrow Yanyue Saber, itching to make a move.

Under such a high-intensity assault, Yu Fei found it incredibly difficult just to defend, let alone find an opportunity to attack.

Fortunately, his upgraded Xuanxiao Spirit Body now possessed the Cosmic Property, which drastically reduced his Inner Qi consumption. Combined with the constant refinement of the Earth Yang Qi from the sky, Yu Fei’s Inner Qi was just barely sufficient. He even rarely deployed his decoy.

This technique, derived from combining the Void Wind Shadow Sword and Illusory Sword Intent, was incredibly useful, but its one drawback was its immense consumption of Inner Qi, making it unsuitable for a battlefield this intense and high-stakes.

Yu Fei was trapped on a field of gravel and grass, surrounded by members of two sophomore classes. He was barely holding on under their relentless attacks, and the surrounding area was a complete wreck.

The longer Zhang Hu and Qingshan fought, the more shocked they became. They saw that although Yu Fei was covered in dirt and grime, his eyes were only growing brighter.

Qingshan was even starting to pant slightly. ’Yu Fei is a monster,’ he thought. ’His techniques are endless, especially that Sword Qi imbued with all sorts of properties. A few times, Yu Fei suddenly increased the amount of Sword Qi he released, and I was caught off guard and almost got cut!’

Zhang Hu gripped his Dragon Sparrow, his expression grave. With one of his hands broken, his offensive power was weakened by at least forty percent. Since a brute-force assault wasn’t working, the fight had turned into a battle of attrition.

’If both my hands were intact, I might have actually been able to take Yu Fei down here.’

’Unfortunately...’

The sophomores had gone from being confident of victory at the start to now holding their breath with pent-up frustration.

’So many of us ganging up on him, and we still can’t take down a single freshman recruit? If word of this gets out, how can we show our faces?’

’We’re all supposed to be prodigies! After this battle is broadcast to the entire army, how could we possibly hold our heads high?’

They imagined the taunts, "Oh, so this is the class that got challenged by a single freshman? I thought you were supposed to be prodigies?"

The thought of such a scenario made everyone’s blood boil, and they threw themselves into the attack against Yu Fei with even more desperation.

Eventually, it got to the point where Yun Jing no longer needed to give orders. Any sophomore not engaged in direct combat grabbed a superpowered firearm, ready to land a devastating shot on Yu Fei at any moment.

The combatants split into three waves, taking turns to charge Yu Fei in a relentless, rhythmic stream, filling the gaps between Zhang Hu’s and Qingshan’s attacks.

「The sun reached its zenith, and the battle raged on.」

The assault on him never stopped.

Yu Fei’s ragged gasps were incessant. Amidst such a high-intensity onslaught, he forgot everything, leaving only his combat instincts.

After countless switches between heavy and light sword stances, his four schools of Swordsmanship gradually approached the level of perfection. The sword Slayer in his hand was sometimes as light as a feather and at other times, as heavy as a mountain.

’My daily training was never this intense or stimulating,’ Yu Fei thought. ’I’ve never had so many suitable opponents to hone my Swordsmanship against.’
