Chapter 122: Steamroll



With all of those factors in his favor, he should have been able to steamroll over a True Martial sixth layer stage cultivator like Lin Xun. How could Xin Wenbin have anticipated such a turn of events instead?

It was especially humiliating because he was a True Martial ninth layer expert, a descendent of the Forbidden City’s Imperial Guard Commander, and someone who had inherited his clan’s strongest techniques. Despite all of those advantages, he had been defeated twice while everyone was watching!

His opponent was at best a True Martial seventh layer cultivator whose upbringing definitely could not compare to his own. Even the battle art used by Lin Xun was the empire’s most common and basic Marching Army Fist.

Xin Wenbin could not accept losing to such a person!

He leaped onto the duel stage again with a guttural howl. Xin Wenbin was much more cautious this time and chose a more defensive approach instead of charging in aggressively.

However―

Another loss!

It was yet another simple punch but it felt like a mountain slamming into his body. He was flung off the stage for the third time and fell flat on his face.

Numerous people could not bear to watch any further. Xin Wenbin’s series of defeats were absolutely one-sided.

The overwhelming power Lin Xun displayed made many people raise their eyebrows in surprise. There was no longer anyone who dared to view him as a gutless coward.

Would an ordinary person be able to crush Xin Wenbin with True Martial seventh layer cultivation and the most basic Marching Army Fist?

Ning Meng was no longer worried about Lin Xun. The former finally understood that Lin Xun’s sudden departure three weeks ago was not because he was abandoning the training but to better raise his capabilities!

Otherwise, continuing his trend of ranking bottom without changing anything would only lead to his elimination.

By this time, the displeasure and ill-feelings Ning Meng had towards Lin Xun had disappeared completely.

……

Xin Wenbin’s three successive one-sided defeats made this sparring session meaningless. Those who had been watching with glee earlier now couldn’t stomach it anymore and withdrew their gazes to concentrate on their own sparring.

The successive defeats had also cleared away the anger and humiliation which had been clouding Xin Wenbin’s head. He now fully realized how terrifying Lin Xun was.

No matter how unwilling Xin Wenbin was, he had no choice but to admit that there was no chance of a comeback even if he went up again.

Xin Wenbin was no fool or he would not have been sent to Blood Kill Camp.

However, he inwardly cursed because he had to suck it up and step onto the duel stage again because he had not been heavily injured or knocked unconscious. In accordance with the rules of this training, he could not admit defeat either because it would mean his elimination!

How hateful!

How hateful!!

Xin Wenbin wanted to cry. He had originally believed that he had been so lucky with the opponent he had drawn. However, he now saw that it was actually a trap he had stupidly jumped into…

It was already too late for regret. At the thought of sending himself into Lin Xun’s ready arms again, Xin Wenbin wished that he could somehow fall unconscious so he would no longer need to participate in the sparring.

Unfortunately for Xin Wenbin, although all three defeats had been done with a single strike, Lin Xun seemed to have controlled his strength well. Xin Wenbin was nowhere near injured to the extent that he would be unfit for battle.

Would Lin Xun hold back because he was wary?

Clearly not!

Xin Wenbin also realized this. In fact, he was certain that Lin Xun was doing this on purpose to repeatedly bully him!

In addition, the winner would also earn a point each time his opponent was defeated!

At this thought, Xin Wenbin’s entire body shook in anger and frustration, feeling as if he was about to explode. That little shit is way too devious, despicable, and shameless!

“Young Master Xin, there are only three seconds left. If you don’t come up, you might have to face the possibility of elimination. I’m sure your parents and friends will be very sad if that happens.” On the duel stage, Lin Xun smiled warmly as if he was giving a kindly reminder.

However, the sight made Xin Wenbin seethe in anger, wishing he could slash that sickening smile off Lin Xun’s face.

But there was ultimately nothing else he could do but grit his teeth and step onto the stage again. He resolved himself to fully focus on defense this time and try to drag the fight out as long as possible. This was the best way to reduce his point loss.

Hence, Xin Wenbin went full vigilance mode the moment he entered the stage. There was no longer any trace of his earlier aggression. It was as if he had transformed into a completely different person who was very cautious.

Lin Xun could not help but laugh at this sight. However, he would not let the other party have his way.

Thud!

Lin Xun took the initiative, wasting no time as he slammed his foot into the ground and his body bolted forward like an arrow.

Aeth power surged in his body as his aura abruptly transformed, making him akin to a threatening unsheathed blade.

Lin Xun had been beaten up by Xiaoke every day for the past three weeks. No matter how forgiving he was, being treated this way would definitely make anyone feel depressed and sullen.

He had finally found an outlet for all these repressed feelings: the unlucky Xin Wenbin.

Lin Xun’s aura made Xin Wenbin’s scalp turn numb as resentment, sullenness, and anger rose in his heart like a bitter widow. It was easy to imagine how ugly his expression looked at this juncture.

Thud!

Xin Wenbin was sent flying again, letting out a cry of pain as his body arced through the air. All the other students in the arena could not help but shiver at the sound.

They did not need to turn their heads and look to know that Xin Wenbin would be sporting a very pitiful appearance.

However, he did not sustain any serious injuries: only losing a few teeth, gaining another big, swollen bruise on his face, and having his brain rattled.

Of course, this was completely intentional on Lin Xun’s part.

Xin Wenbin was someone who would hold a grudge forever even if he wasn’t beaten up. Since that was the case, Lin Xun would naturally not let him off so easily.

Xin Wenbin would be utterly crushed and sucked dry of all his points!

Only by doing this would the other students understand that they should first carefully consider the consequences before they decided to be enemies with him!

This was to establish himself and deter other students. The competition was intense in Blood Kill Camp. Selecting the right time to reveal his fangs would make potential rivals wary and discourage them from provoking him.

For Xin Wenbin, this sparring session felt especially long. Every second was torture for his body and heart.

He suffered defeat after defeat and was forced to return to the stage again and again…who could truly understand the powerlessness and frustration he felt?

Xin Wenbin was supposed to be the brutality specialist, but today, he finally experienced what it was like to be on the receiving end. It was miserable and the pain made him wish he were dead.

Lin Xun, the day will come when I will pay you back ten times over for everything you’ve done today! I swear that I will make you wish you were dead! Xin Wenbin howled in his heart.

He hated this to the extreme. He hated it so much that it nearly made him go insane.

Meanwhile, Lin Xun was considering how he would eliminate Xin Wenbin in the future to prevent future troubles.

As time passed, someone could no longer bear to watch after Xin Wenbin had been trampled over seventeen times.

Qi Can knocked his opponent unconscious with a swift strike and immediately turned around with a wide grin, “Lin Xun, it must be very boring for you. How about we pair up instead?”

He was smiling but his gaze was ice-cold as he stared at Lin Xun.

These words drew side glances from several people. Exchanging sparring partners was not anything new and had occurred before in previous sessions. For example, when the difference in fighting ability between two combatants was too big, they would tactfully swap partners with another pair.

This unspoken rule had been silently acknowledged by Xiaoke. However, all four parties must agree to the swap.

As such, many were unsurprised by Qi Can’s proposal. Although it was clear that he had only suggested this because he could no longer bear to let Lin Xun continue to thrash Xin Wenbin.

Several people secretly breathed sighs of relief as they wondered whether Lin Xun would agree.

“Lin Xun, being chosen as an opponent by brother Qi Can is a huge honor. Agree if you have the balls!”

“That’s right, if you have the guts to accept, I might even change my opinion of you.”

“Come on, give us your answer. Someone who only knows how to bully Xin Wenbin is a disgrace even if you win.”

The other students from Qi Can’s circle made use of this opportunity to cause a din. There were no rules against being noisy during training. Hence, they fearlessly tried to provoke Lin Xun into agreeing.

As long as Lin Xun agreed, Xin Wenbin would be saved from this predicament. In turn, he would definitely be avenged by Qi Can, who would certainly not hold back in giving Lin Xun a vicious beating.

Of course, it still hinged upon Lin Xun’s decision.

Wen Mingxiu arrogantly said, “Lin Xun, agree to the exchange if you consider yourself a man and still have some dignity. Otherwise, I’ll look down on you forever.”

Due to being one of the prettiest and most popular girls in the 39th Campground, several people immediately voiced their agreement.

By this juncture, any other hot-blooded teenage boy would have already accepted to maintain his dignity. After all, which youth would dare to ignore his personal honor and a pretty girl’s opinion?

Ning Meng inwardly cursed, calling them despicable. He was deeply worried that Lin Xun would rashly agree.

Lin Xun suddenly turned his head and cast a quick glance at the noisy students. He kicked Xin Wenbin off the stage again before earnestly saying, “I’m really sorry, I just love sparring with Young Master Xin. Not only does he let me experience a bountiful harvest, he also gives me a sense of accomplishment that none of you can understand. I, Lin Xun, am not an ingrate, how can I possibly betray his goodwill?”

He cupped his fists together with an ashamed expression as he continued, “I have received everyone’s kind intentions and feel greatly loved by all of you. Although believing I have the qualifications to spar with Young Master Qi is an acknowledgment of my strength, I believe that I am still far from being able to compete with Young Master Qi. There are still many areas I have to improve on. Hence, I shall not make a fool of myself. If everyone feels disappointed by this…”

At this point, Lin Xun suddenly displayed a slight smile and leisurely said, “You guys don’t dare to break the rules and come beat me, right? So stop causing a fuss! Our time is very precious and Young Master Xin is still waiting to give me more points!”
