Chapter 1411: Speed versus Electric! Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Xia Fan’s logic was simple: I’ll be nice to you if you’re nice to me. If you’re bad to me, I’ll send you to your grave!

There had been no good men under the skydome, and while the scoundrels of the Holy Tomb had wanted Xia Fan to be a good person, they were also worried that Xia Fan would lose out if he came across people with wicked intentions.

That was why they had instilled two educational programs into Xia Fan. One was how to treat his friends, and the other was how to deal with his enemies!

There was nothing much to be said about how he should treat friends. Treat them with equal respect, and if they offered him a drop of kindness, repay them with a spring of grace.

But with regards to enemies, the moment someone was identified as one, then the plentiful assortment of insidious and vicious methods that the scoundrels had taught Xia Fan would come right out the oven. Be as vicious as they were to you, and never take the short end of the stick. On top of all that, he needed to grasp at every moment possible that he could exploit to completely take down the enemy in one go, never letting them have a chance to recover!

That was why Xia Fan had two different personalities. One was for friends, while the other was for his enemies!

Xia Fan had now switched over to the latter, and the many insidious methods the scoundrels had taught Xia Fan were floating through his mind. Even his temperament had changed tremendously, making it seem like he had turned into an entirely different person in the eyes of outsiders.

*Boom*

Yet another opponent was tossed out of the ring by Xia Fan. It was his seventh win in a row! Going by the rules, Xia Fan could only target those who were similarly at the A-tier like himself for free-challenges. Jaden and his crew just so happened to have eight warriors who were all evaluated at the A-tier. As such, the only one left that Xia Fan had not ‘exchanged pointers’ with was Jaden alone!

The newly defeated cadet went by the name of Lu Beihai; his special ability was Strength, one of the most commonly-found abilities among special ability users. He was in quite a pitiful state too; Xia Fan had boxed him once in the ear and left him howling in pain. In fact, he could not even hear anything with that ear that had just been punched, and he was in a panic, afraid that he would be deaf for the rest of his life.

What was meant by sinister methods was precisely these targeted assaults on his enemies’ weaknesses. Whether it was a d*ck twist, poking of the eyes, smashing nose bridges, or a targeted strike on the ears, they were all moves that shameless hooligans employed.

Xia Fan could see that Jaden was livid, that bald head of his looking extra red. Meanwhile, the people around him were all filled with fear, but not because they felt like they could not beat Xia Fan. It was very normal for people to have trouble beating a speedster at the same rank, but it had been a miserable experience going head-to-head with Xia Fan in the ring.

Others were also fighting, but losing a fight would just normally be just a loss. It was not a big deal.

Yet it was different with Xia Fan. Not only would he defeat his opponents, he would also torment them with some truly sinister moves.

Just looking at those people whom Xia Fan had gone up against, with blood filling their eyes and their eardrums burst, their family jewels given a good twist or with shattered nose bridges, they were drooping all over the place, moaning in pain. It was great mental pressure to the lot, letting them realize one thing: as long as they got in the ring with Xia Fan, none of them should expect to leave it unscathed. Each and every one of them would lose something from the fight!

As for the other cadets present, all of them were already dumbfounded. Blue Boiling Point was a place where elites gathered. Elites would often not mingle with commoners, being raised in proper backgrounds from a young age. A good majority of the people had never seen someone as unorthodox as Xia Fan before. Attacking the groin? That was very painful!

Now it was Jaden’s turn, who was the leader among those lads. Xia Fan stood in the ring with a smile, beckoning lightly with one finger very provocatively.

“ARGH!!” Jaden let out an angry bellow and leapt into the ring. The moment his feet landed on the ground, a lightning-blue light crackled as it engulfed him from his bald head down to his feet.

Jaden’s special ability was Electric. The reason he had a bald head was because the powerful current that coursed through him had burned off every strand of hair on his body!

Electric-types were considered a top-tier special ability. Imbuing it internally could protect the user’s body, and it could be used as a ranged attack when unleashed externally. In terms of special abilities, Jaden’s electricity was not worse than Xia Fan’s speed, and the speed at which the former could unleash electricity was be faster than Xia Fan’s physical speed!

“Electric should be the bane to speed, right?”

“What do you mean ‘should’, it completely is! After all, electric currents travel faster, and no matter how fast Xia Fan can move, there’s no way for him to evade an electrical attack. Besides electricity, you can say light, darkness, and space-type special abilities are all considered the bane of speed!”

“Oh, then I’m afraid Xia Fan has finally met his match this time. If I recall correctly, Jaden’s special ability not only restrains Xia Fan’s, his rank is also higher than Xia Fan’s, having already reached Advanced Star Base rank!”

“That’s true. In any case, we’re in for a good show, so let’s watch!”

Two cadets conversed behind Soul Flying Bird, making the latter very worried for Xia Fan. Jaden was different from the others Xia Fan had fought before. He was the most powerful seeded candidate in this week’s training camp, someone that the Combat Division had focused on training.

Xia Fan had already offended Jaden, and so Jaden was definitely going to go all out. Xia Fan might not have such an easy time if he intended to win this match!

Pointing into the distance with one hand, Jaden loudly declared, “The one who goes by Xia, I acknowledge your cruelty! But today is when your good fortune comes to an end! See how I shall deal with you with cruelty!”

Xia Fan smiled as he waved his hand dismissively, “I already said I had no wish to fight any of you, yet you all forced my hand. What’s the point of saying all this at this point? Doctor Grandpa was right; when you’re at the limit of your tolerance, just kill them all! Come at me!”

*Cough*

Flying Bird and everyone around watching the fight were stunned. Was the saying not ‘When you’re at the limit of your tolerance, there’s no need to endure any longer’? What was ‘When you’re at the limit of your tolerance, just kill them all’? What kind of doctor would teach him that?

But how would any of them know that this so-called Doctor Grandpa was actually a killer. He was not a healer, but a professional killer, and considered one of the most dangerous and most powerful old scoundrels under the skydome. What he had taught Xia Fan was of course nothing orthodox, and that included all the warped sayings that he had come up with when he was a killer.

“Begin!”

As the referee gave the signal, the match of Speed versus Electricity became the focus of everyone present as it officially began.

Taking the lead was not Xia Fan, but Jaden!

Everyone watched as his arms suddenly shot out, his muscles swelled, and his chest expanded. His veins became visible all over his body, and could even be seen on his head. It was almost as if he was about to exert great effort in unleashing an unpredictable attack.

“Strong Electricity Field, activate!” Jaden growled hoarsely.

Flying Bird leapt to his feet, watching with bewildered eyes. Jaden was using Strong Electricity Field from the get-go! Xia Fan was in danger!

This so-called Strong Electricity Field was an electric curtain. The entire ring was instantly glowing with glaring blue lights, and the crackling sound of electricity rang out repeatedly. The spotlights above the ring itself exploded from the flood of electricity!

The large ring, covering an area of fifty by fifty meters, was completely contained inside Jaden’s electric curtain. Whether it was Xia Fan in the ring or a stray fly, all would be struck by the electric current, with no exceptions!

This move was exceptionally vicious, and there were no dead angles at all. There was absolutely no way for Xia Fan to escape!

But in the next moment, Flying Bird discovered to his surprise that not only did Xia Fan have no intention of evading or taking cover, he had instead taken the electric curtain straight on!

Electricity coursed through his entire body, covering him in a layer of blue light. It was hard to imagine just how much pain he had to be enduring in taking the electrical attack.

However, Xia Fan did not look like he felt anything. Gritting his teeth, he soundlessly withstood the electricity coursing through his body, opened his stance, accelerated, and raised his fists up high!

“Impossible!”

“Is that person actually not afraid of electricity?!”

“That is well over a thousand volts!”

The entire crowd was in upheaval. Was it possible for a human being to not fear electricity? Could Xia Fan be a demon from the legends? Just what was wrong with him? Was he an insulator?

Nobody’s body was an insulator, and neither was Xia Fan. He was just much stronger than others, and his tolerance to pain matched that increase, as well!

How would anyone in Blue Boiling Point know that Xia Fan was not someone who drank milk growing up, but had been nurtured by consuming the priceless Peak grade energy crystals!? The amount of those crystals that Xia Fan had eaten when younger was enough to buy an entire galaxy!

Rather than wonder why Xia Fan was not afraid of electricity, why not ask him why he was able to do the astounding swivel action when at high speeds, or why he could achieve his top speed from the moment he started moving?

The reason why Xia Fan could do all that was all the same: though he had the character for commoner in his name, there was nothing common about Xia Fan at all! He might be the weakest child in the Skywing Clan, but with what he had experienced and his good fortune, as well as the hard work of the old scoundrels from the Holy Tomb, Xia Fan had been given a superhuman body!

Was it painful for electricity to run through his body?

Absolutely!

Could he withstand it?

No problem!

He was far more qualified to withstand it than anyone else! That was the unique trump card that Xia Fan possessed! Hidden in his slender body was a foundation that surpassed anyone else’s!

Jaden was absolutely dumbfounded. He watched Xia Fan enduring the electric attack as he came dashing over to Jaden’s side like a god descending to the mortal plane. Xia Fan raised his hands and forcefully slammed them right into Jaden’s face!

WIth how fast he moved, Jaden took dozens of punches from Xia Fan in the span of a single second! Every punch caused red hot pain to blossom on his face!

*Bang!*

Xia Fan drew back his arm and threw a savage fist that landed squarely on Jaden’s jaw, sending him flying upward from the impact of the blow!

*Bang!*

Jaden flew into the air for several dozen meters before landing heavily on the viewing gallery. His entire body was convulsing, and he was unable to get up for a very long time. Those friends of his hurriedly tried to help him up, scrambling to feed him a bottle of life-saving medicine.

Jaden, the strongest out of their group of eight, had been defeated!

That was eight consecutive wins!
