Chapter 96: Life And Death?
You Xi Wang smiled and said, "I dare accept it. Why not? But you know you need to state the reason for the duel in front of the duel proctor and the public. Will that not ruin your so-called boy toy reputation?"
The boy standing behind Zack O'Neil was not his friend but was a teammate of Snow Wistrom. He asked Snow in a whisper, "Snow, what is this situation?"
Snow only kept looking at You Xi Wang's devilish smiling face. She understood what he wanted to do. You Zhichi was his reverse scale, and this guy Zack dared to poke it with a spear. He will be lucky if he died early, otherwise what waits for him is hell on earth with You Xi Wang as King Yama. she was wondering why people were so full of themselves without knowing the horrors of the world.
Before Zack could utter a word, You Xi Wang cut him off and said, "Let's go to the Deathmatch arena. I will fulfill your wish."
He gave Snow a look, who stood up and followed him in silence. The boy was shocked when he saw this scene. He could never imagine the Ice demoness following a boy with her own consent. He hurriedly followed them, leaving only Zack standing on the spot. Zack regretted his decision and the blood oath he took. If he presented any kind of retaliation, then it will be death. He could only grit his teeth and believe in himself to defeat You Xi Wang, obviously, he cannot kill him for You Zhichi will kill him as she was stronger than him. He walked towards the deathmatch arena.
...
On the way, You Xi Wang and Snow were walking side by side and a guy was following them silently. He could not resist it anymore and spoke up, "Hello, junior brother. My name is Rafael. Sister Snow's teammate. I also have some contact with your sister."
You Xi Wang spoke without turning back, "Hello, senior Rafael."
Rafael felt awkward when the latter did not turn back. He was a smart person so he understood, You Xi Wang had taken a disliking to him for not opposing Zack O'Neil when he was speaking earlier. He wanted to come up with an explanation, but You Xi Wang interrupted him.
"You can be thankful that you did not support Zack in his stints. Also, please do not talk to me as if we are friends. It is only for Snow's face that I spared you. As for that Zack, hehehe... I will make him regret it." he let out a creepy giggle and Rafael felt a chill down his spine. He looked at Snow and found that she was also looking pale. He understood that Snow, the ice demoness, his team captain, feared this junior.
The rest of the walk was completed in silence. You Xi Wang left a message for his friends to come to the deathmatch arena. They were all shocked, but when they heard it was Zack who started everything, their anger was ignited. They knew how big of a jerk this guy was, and they were confident in the abilities You Xi Wang had. They were talking among themselves about this matter, and a classmate heard it. The words spread around the whole school like wildfire. Soon the whole school was buzzing and both students and teachers alike rushed to the deathmatch arena.
Snow also texted You Zhichi and just as she expected the Celestial Maiden was enraged. She replied she will immediately rush to school and Snow was asked to delay the deathmatch. But looking at You Xi Wang who was calm as a cucumber, she was afraid. She has seen him deal with that dark dweller during her time of camping in the Whispering Woods. That scene she can not forget, even if she wanted to. The aura You Xi Wang gave off was the same. She only prayed that the faculty try to intervene and stops this duel.
Soon they reached the area where a square platform was set up. Many people were already here. An old man could be seen standing on the platform. You Xi Wang saw his friends but did not approach them and approached the elder on the stage.
The elder looked towards You Xi Wang and was surprised to see the calmness at first, but that his surprise turned into shock when he felt a terrible storm brewing inside You Xi Wang. Zack also arrived in the arena at this moment. He walked up to the elder and saluted him.
The elder asked them both, "What is the reason behind this deathmatch."
You Xi Wang replied with calmness, "He insulted my elder sister."
Zack spoke, gritting his teeth, "It was unintentional."
You Xi Wang replied, "Then I slapped him and then he issued a Deathmatch. So I complied."
You Xi Wang's word set off a chain of murmurs in the arena. Everyone was aware of Zack's identity and they knew he was chasing You Zhichi and he would try any means necessary. They understood who was You Xi Wang. They have heard of a scholarly genius in the academy who learned and successfully passed the test of the Codex Hall. He was the youngest student in the history of Metropia to learn everything about Material Science. contemporary romance
"To think Zack would do something so lowly in the name of pursuit."
"Yeah, no wonder the maestro, slapped him. I have heard that Maestro is actually very polite to his seniors."
"Yes, I have once seen him in the past. He is a calm person. But well, every dragon has a reverse scale. I heard he also took first place in the annual assessment."
"Zack might not be so disadvantaged. His realm is strong. He is only second to You Zhichi in the senior year."
"That is because these senior year students suppress their cultivation base to have a sturdy foundation otherwise how could these geniuses be only at the late phase of spiritual formation."
"Yeah, You Xi Wang might lose, if Zack unlocks his potential."
In the crowd, some students were busy speculating, and the opinion was mixed, some favored You Xi Wang while some favored Zack O'Neil. Snow came to stand beside Yuki and the others. They asked her if she knew what led to this, and she recited the whole scene word byword to them. Some students who were actually favoring Zack felt shameful when they heard what he said about the Celestial Maiden. You Zhichi was an existence in their mind who can only be admired from a distance but will be stained if you approached her. That was how nice and polite she was to them.
They cursed themselves for supporting Zack. On the stage, the elder presiding over the match as a referee came forward holding an agreement, and both of the candidates were required to call their parents and swear a heavenly oath of no third party retaliating against the winning person or may the opponent be blasted by the heavenly lightning. You Xi Wang knew his sister will not allow him to take part, so he called Granny Xin, when he told her the complete matter You Naixin raged like a fierce lioness. She allowed You Xi Wang to kill his opponent. Afterward, both of the fighters signed the contract, and they swore a heavenly oath. The stage was set.
You Xi Wang took his position and was fifty meters away from Zack O'Neil. He knew that the longer the fight went on, the more disadvantageous it was for him. Since it was a Life and Death battle. He could use Maya. Zack saw You Xi Wang standing on the platform, stroking Maya with a calm expression.
Zack sneered, "You Xi Wang, are you sure that this will nog die?"
You Xi Wang spoke, "Come and I will show you pain."
Zack said nothing and took out a spear. Maya was sat down on the ground and curled up to sleep, curling up in a ball of fur to sleep.
"You Xi Wang, come meet your death," Zack yelled,
Right in his moment, something happened. The elder spoke in a loud voice, Zack moved fast and appeared near You Xi Wang, he stabbed his spear but just at the moment his spear was about to touch You Xi Wang's body faded away. Next moment the whole crowd sucked in a deep breath. You Xi Wang appeared beside Zack with a white Sheathed saber. He swung the blade, forming a deep wound on Zack's chest.
He staggered and looked at You Xi Wang in shock and surprise. He never imagined that this first-year guy was so strong. He clutched his chest and pressed a few acupoints to seal the blood. He raised his spear again and tried to attack You Xi Wang again but the result was the same, this time it was as on the back.
Zack wanted to do something but he was unable to see You Xi Wang move. The wounds were all giving him a burning sensation. At this moment the entire arena was so quiet that needles dropping could be heard clearly. This silence was the loudest exclamation.
