Wul Xiao’s casual attitude made the few remaining spectators watching Tang Yi’s ring instantly lose all interest.
’He’s just strolling over to his opponent? Could he be any less professional?’
’Even if Tang Yi is a waste, this is the exam! And it’s the most important third round, no less! This isn’t child’s play!’
So, no one was paying attention to Tang Yi’s side anymore. A joke of a match like this had nothing worth watching.
Just then, Wul Xiao finally reached Tang Yi.
Once in front of Tang Yi, he shot him a provocative glare.
It was as if he were saying, ’Go on. I’m right here. Hit me!’
But even with Wul Xiao right in his face, Tang Yi merely smiled, not making a move.
They were only an arm’s length apart, close enough to reach out and touch.
"Heh. Big Waste, get lost. This is no place for you."
Wul Xiao saw that he was standing right in front of Tang Yi, yet Tang Yi still didn’t dare to strike. This made him even cockier, and his gaze filled with disdain.
’A Big Waste is always a Big Waste,’ he thought. ’He doesn’t even dare to attack when I serve myself up on a platter. How dare he show his face at the qualification exam? If not for some inside connection, he probably couldn’t have even passed the first round.’
"Hmph."
With a cold snort, Wul Xiao raised and clenched his fist, then threw a punch straight at Tang Yi’s face.
For this punch, Wul Xiao still only used fifty percent of his Power.
In his eyes, this ordinary punch, using just fifty percent of his Power, would be more than enough to knock Tang Yi to the ground for good.
If he hit too hard, he might kill or cripple Tang Yi, which would be a messy situation to deal with.
However, even as Wul Xiao’s fist was about to connect with his face, Tang Yi didn’t react, still standing in place with a smile.
He looked as if he’d been scared stiff.
This made Wul Xiao even more contemptuous. ’He really is a Big Waste, just as I thought. Scared so stiff he can’t even dodge. In that case, just die!’
Wul Xiao’s plan was perfect, and his punch was about to deliver that perfect outcome.
But...
SMACK!
That wasn’t the sound of a fist hitting flesh, but of a palm.
A figure went flying in an instant, soaring right out of the ring.
And that person wasn’t Tang Yi. It was Wul Xiao!
Just as Wul Xiao’s fist was about to slam into his face, Tang Yi finally moved.
He casually slapped Wul Xiao, sending him flying.
How could Wul Xiao, a mere Battle Master, resist a single blow from a Battle Spirit Powerhouse like Tang Yi?
It was just an ordinary, incredibly light slap. Yet, coming from a Battle Spirit Powerhouse, its might was extraordinary and impossible to match.
This single slap sent Wul Xiao flying more than ten meters, straight out of the ring.
What’s more, he hadn’t even seen Tang Yi move. He had no idea when the strike had occurred.
"What happened?!"
After flying out of the ring, Wul Xiao’s vision swam, and he nearly passed out.
But some stubborn thought kept him conscious.
He had to know what happened!
Wul Xiao’s face was twisted in pain, and he kept spitting up blood, clearly having sustained serious injuries.
When he opened his mouth slightly, you could faintly see that a few of his front teeth were missing, apparently knocked out onto the ring floor by that slap.
Wul Xiao was utterly horrified. He tried to recall what had just happened. He had raised his fist to punch, but before he could land the blow, he heard a crisp sound. Then an immense force slammed into his face, and he was sent flying, completely unable to resist.
He had no idea where that immense force had come from, or why he had been sent flying.
He hadn’t seen Tang Yi make a move!
From start to finish, Tang Yi had just stood there smiling like an idiot, not moving a muscle.
It wasn’t just Wul Xiao who was dumbfounded. The referee from the West Mansion was just as stunned. He was only a Two-star Battle Spirit, so he couldn’t see Tang Yi’s attack at all.
In his eyes, all he saw was Wul Xiao raising his fist. The next moment, Wul Xiao’s body was flying out of the ring.
But he had no idea how Wul Xiao had been sent flying.
’Was he an actor?’
’Did he just throw himself out of the ring?’
’I didn’t see Tang Yi make a move either!’
’And Tang Yi had received an examination waiver from the Chief Examiner...’
’This Wul Xiao might really be an actor Tang Yi hired.’
In an instant, the referee had labeled Wul Xiao an actor.
"I’ve won, right? He flew out of the ring," Tang Yi said, pointing at Wul Xiao to remind the dazed referee.
"Uh... right." The referee snapped out of it and nodded. Just as he was about to announce the result, Wul Xiao came running back in a frenzy.
"Tang Yi, what kind of Demon Technique did you use? I don’t accept this! There’s no way you could have beaten me! It must have been you! You must have used some Demon Technique to knock me out of the ring! Hmph! I’m going to kill you!"
Shouting his defiance, Wul Xiao frantically charged back toward Tang Yi on the ring.
Wul Xiao’s eyes were blood-Red. He had clearly suffered a massive psychological blow from being knocked from the ring and had gone a little crazy.
He simply could not accept losing to Tang Yi—losing to a Big Waste.
In his mind, there was no way Tang Yi could have beaten him. It had to be some dirty trick, some underhanded Techniques to force him from the ring. The match didn’t count. He refused to accept it. He was going to kill the despicable, shameless Tang Yi!
Yet Tang Yi just stood there, letting Wul Xiao charge.
Logically, since Wul Xiao had been knocked out of the ring, he had lost. The referee should have immediately stopped him from re-entering.
But the referee was clearly lacking in Experience. Seeing Wul Xiao charge back frantically, he was stunned all over again.
’What is wrong with this guy? He clearly put on an act and threw himself from the ring, so why is he charging back now?’
In that moment of hesitation, Wul Xiao was already back on the ring. By the time the referee thought to stop him, it was too late.
"Tang Yi, I’ll kill you!" Wul Xiao roared.
No Weapons were allowed in the third round.
But Wul Xiao, having charged back, had somehow produced a short sword and was now madly stabbing at Tang Yi.
If that strike landed, it would pierce a hole straight through Tang Yi. The consequences would be dire.
Attempted murder during the qualification exam was a capital offense!
The referee grew anxious, regretting not stopping Wul Xiao sooner. It was too late now. He could only hope Tang Yi could hold on for a moment. If he could just survive one attack, the referee could intervene in time.
But from the looks of it, Tang Yi was just standing there like a fool. He probably couldn’t even Resist a single blow.
"Sigh!"
The referee fell into despair. If anything happened to Tang Yi, he would bear immense responsibility.
Just as Wul Xiao reached Tang Yi, short sword poised to strike, another soft sound rang out.
SMACK!
Exactly like before, a figure went flying.
