#182 - Chapter 182 Cen's Big Knife

“Your physique is really amazing. I feel like these seven years have been a waste of training,” Wen Jing said to Qi Jing with envy.

The two previous failures were caused by her accidentally touching the mechanisms, while Qi Jing didn't make a single mistake.

“Oh no, I have to go substitute teach. Aren't you going to class?”

Wen Jing glanced at the time and realized that her class was starting in a few minutes.

She was too focused on trying to clear the level and almost forgot that she had a class to teach this afternoon.

Qi Jing said, “I don’t have to attend cultivation class or shooting class. This afternoon is basically free for me.”

“Oh, I see. Then, bye-bye~”

Wen Jing waved her hand, clicked log out, and was teleported away in a flash of white light.

Whew~

She's finally gone.

Although Qi Jing and Wen Jing cooperated well and chatted a lot just now, he was still a little shy.

Even the most amiable teacher is still a teacher.

Equipping the title he just obtained, Qi Jing looked at the street full of games, ready to begin his grand endeavor.

Suddenly, a row of gilded words appeared in the sky:

“Congratulations to Cen Mou's Great Blade for achieving a hundred-win streak in the ladder tournament, earning the title 'Hundred Slayer'!”

Qi Jing looked up at the row of words and remembered Wen Jing saying that Teacher Cen Xi had been fighting in the arena since morning.

That nickname, it must be her.

Looking at the remaining games, Qi Jing suddenly felt that it would be better to watch Cen Xi's match.

Anyway, only one title can be equipped at a time, so there's no opportunity to show off so many.

“Teleport!”

Qi Jing teleported to the ladder tournament area through the panel.

The white light dissipated, and Qi Jing found himself standing in front of the same spectator stands as the arena, with many people sitting above.

However, the seat behind him was empty, and Qi Jing took the opportunity to sit down.

He looked towards the arena in front and saw Cen Xi wielding a huge broadsword as tall as a person, fighting against a strong man on the opposite side.

“Cen Xi! Didn't you like using magic ten years ago? Why are you using a sword now!”

During the graduation competition ten years ago, Zhan Bing lost to Cen Xi, who used ranged attacks. He didn't expect her to return to school as a teacher ten years later and start using a sword.

“Back then, I was young and ignorant and didn't know that the feeling of slashing people was so exhilarating, haha!”

After speaking, Cen Xi raised her sword and swung it towards Zhan Bing's head.

Zhan Bing used a three-section staff to block Cen Xi's attack and said:

“Cen Xi, don't use your ranged abilities, okay~”

“Don't worry, I can still slash you without them!”

Cen Xi immediately imbued her broadsword with a layer of flames and used wind element to accelerate herself, slashing at Zhan Bing's lower body again.

Although Cen Xi said she wouldn't use ranged abilities, she didn't say she couldn't use abilities.

Zhan Bing also knew her close-combat attack style and wasn't surprised. He preemptively used the three-section staff to entangle Cen Xi's broadsword and shouted with a provocative look:

“Cen Xi, you wield that sword pretty well. You're even better than my top disciple, ho ho.”

“Top disciple? Watch me crack your skull open!”

Cen Xi yanked hard, successfully retrieving the broadsword from the enemy's hand.

She gripped the hilt and quickly spun around, using the power generated by the rotation to slash at Zhan Bing again with unmatched ferocity.

Zhan Bing tightly gripped the two outer sections of the three-section staff with both hands, skillfully using the middle section to block Cen Xi's overwhelming strike.

Immediately afterward, he decisively released his left hand and dodged to the side with lightning speed, while simultaneously swinging his right hand, smashing the three-section staff in his hand fiercely towards Cen Xi's head.

Faced with the sudden attack, Cen Xi reacted quickly, tilting her head slightly to easily avoid the fatal blow.

In the blink of an eye!

Cen Xi seized the opportunity, and with a swift movement, the incomparably sharp broadsword in her hand slashed fiercely towards Zhan Bing with lightning speed!

Faced with such a fierce offensive, Zhan Bing dared not be careless in the slightest. He quickly swung the three-section staff tightly gripped in his right hand, lashing out at the opponent's broadsword like a dragon emerging from the sea!

The purpose was obvious—to try to use the unique flexibility of the three-section staff to restrain and trap Cen Xi's fierce attack.

However, he miscalculated. To Zhan Bing's surprise, the power contained in Cen Xi's strike far exceeded his original estimate.

In an instant, there was a crisp "clang" sound, and the cold, gleaming broadsword actually broke through the defense of the three-section staff and struck Zhan Bing's chest solidly!

Fortunately, at the critical moment, the three-section staff wrapped around the broadsword played an unexpected role.

It successfully weakened the impact of the strike, allowing Zhan Bing to escape unscathed and avoid being "split in two" on the spot.

Zhan Bing leaned over on the left side of the arena, gasping for breath:

“Good grief, as expected of you. I didn't expect you to be a genius in terms of abilities and so strong in physical training!”

Zhan Bing thought his strength was already great, but he didn't expect Cen Xi's to be even greater.

“This is all thanks to my unremitting efforts.”

Although Cen Xi's talent in source power cultivation is really strong, surpassing the vast majority of people in the world, her captain Hong Xiaole told her not to show off too much in this regard, and if others asked, to say it was her own hard work.

Zhan Bing chuckled and said:

“After ten years, you've actually learned to lie.”

In college, Zhan Bing also once liked this pillar of the Elemental Academy.

Not only was she beautiful, but she was also strong in combat, but she was a bit aloof and didn't like to talk.

He didn't expect her to have changed so much after fighting in the Otherworld for ten years that he almost didn't recognize her.

Not only did she become fond of smiling, but she also liked to use a sword to chop people's heads.

You should know that when she used to fight with others, she would just freeze the opponent's entire body with a cold glance and then slowly walk away from the arena!

During that time, she was silent and extremely cold, and her unapproachable demeanor scared away countless suitors, leading to no one daring to confess to her.

“Cen Xi, do you still remember my ability?”

“Forgot. I don't care what your ability is, just die!”

Cen Xi only symbolically gave Zhan Bing time to catch his breath and then continued to attack him.

If the opponent wasn't a person but a beast, she would have chased it down and hacked it to death long ago.

While dodging, Zhan Bing combined two sections of the three-section staff to form a nunchaku, then took out a pair of mandarin duck axes from his chest with his left hand.

He decided to adopt a hit-and-run tactic and not fight Cen Xi head-on.

However, Cen Xi's speed was not to be underestimated. Not only was her physique stronger than Zhan Bing's, but she also used wind element to accelerate herself.

If she hadn't promised not to use ranged abilities just now, she would have used wind element to slow Zhan Bing down.

“Heh!”

Seeing that he couldn't avoid her attack, Zhan Bing prepared to use the mandarin duck axe in his left hand to hook Cen Xi's broadsword and then use the nunchaku in his right hand to strike the back of Cen Xi's head.

He knew that Cen Xi's broadsword was not easy to catch, but even if he crippled his left hand, he would launch this attack.

As expected, a huge force came from Zhan Bing's left hand, almost tearing his arm off.

But that didn't matter. His goal was to turn defeat into victory!
