Defying the Fate of Beheading

In fact, reality is far more exaggerated than the Sword Sage professional quartet imagined.

"Hah..."

Louis let out a long breath, and the bulging veins in his hand due to explosive force quickly calmed with his breathing.

A seemingly not-so-strong right hand held a student from the Sword of Martial Arts department, like Wukong's headband.

No matter how that student kicked in mid-air, there was no response.

Louis directly tossed this student into the air.

With incredible ease, he sent the student out of the ring.

His gaze turned to the last person on the field.

"Your name is Bam Italia?"

Bam, whose face was already covered with many scars, said nothing, his eyes locked onto Louis, trying to find a flaw to exploit.

The next moment, his body, trembling slightly from pain, charged again.

Bam, moving at high speed like a fully armed tank, approached with a howling wind, allowing Louis to clearly see the veins popping on his face.

The muscles on his thick arms rose and fell with his breath.

In an instant, he closed in on Louis, reaching out to grab Louis' shoulder.

Twilight Flow · Twilight Throw.

Effect: Use strong wrist strength to destabilize the opponent and throw them out, causing massive collision damage.

Louis' eyes lit up, and he exclaimed "Good".

This was the most precise and detailed level one martial skill he had seen all afternoon today.

To put it bluntly, although it was just a level one martial skill, the techniques the student demonstrated between exerting and releasing strength were akin to art.

In just that instant, he unexpectedly activated his [Greedy Curiosity].

As a reward, Louis' counterattack came like a mountain crashing down.

In the blink of an eye, the world spun; he grabbed Bam's wrist with one hand while supporting his arm with the other.

With the disruption of Louis' balance, his originally down-throw position was instantly switched.

Originally, Bam's feet were firmly planted on the ground, but the clever switching forcefully altered his position.

Louis, being held by him, seemed to become slippery, his palm pressing against Bam's arm's inside, suddenly using force against force.

With a "boom,"

The blue bricks on the ground shattered.

Bam, heavily slammed on the ground, shook all over from pain.

"Twilight Flow's situational switch?"

[Situational Switch], Twilight Flow level 2 martial skill.

Effect: Swap positions with the attacked target.

He grinned and said, "What a situational switch, what a use of force against force! Cough cough~"

He started coughing violently, like a fish forcibly dragged onto land, making thick, struggling breaths:

"Have you learned our Italia's position-breathing?"

Louis twisted his neck, the joints in his body crackling.

A faint smile appeared on his fair face: "I haven't, that's why I'm so happy."

"Among those who stepped up to challenge me, your skills rank in the top three... very impressive."

Bam's face had already turned crimson, and he cursed under his breath:

"Damn, freak!"

"I'll send you down."

Seeing that Bam was on the verge of cursing, Louis directly pushed and pulled to send him off the field.

Amidst his excitement, a hint of indistinct disappointment flashed in his eyes.

As if he hadn't had enough fun.

Now, having transformed his hunting perception into a permanent skill, he could sense quite a few dangerous auras down below.

Clearly, the students at the academy had something up their sleeves.

Still, some were holding back.

But they weren't coming up.

Those willing to step up were quite capable students, but elites like Bam seemed to be waiting.

From starting with a one-on-one, to one against two, and then to the three-on-one with Bam, he got more and more daring.

Being able to face multiple opponents is not because the students are too weak.

On the contrary, it's because Louis is too familiar with the art of the Nine Swords. Having experienced a higher level with Instructor Jino, coming back to fight felt a bit like bullying.

This wave was skill suppression.

Plus, Louis' level had already caught up with these students' echelon, so there's no need to say more.

The students below also went "Oh my!"

The ones shouting were the students Louis had knocked off the stage,

No choice; they were in pain.

Although Louis had been quite restrained, he couldn't match the fiercely tough style of Saint Louis Academy; he couldn't hold back.

The students in the Nine Swords Department were truly brutal.

There were plenty of smart people and even more bold ones.

This unwittingly reminded him of an interesting anecdote from reading online novels in his previous life.

"Everyone said that when Cuttlefish releases a new book in March, those wanting to open a book should avoid clashing and retreat.

But when Cuttlefish released the book, they were met by a large number of seasoned authors opening new books wanting to challenge."

Scared?

That's not possible.

If they don't dare to show courage at the academy, how can they be expected to turn the tables in the face of life and death crises?

If at first, these students were more impulsive,

then later, as they matched up with Louis, they completely treated him as a touchstone to test their martial arts skills.

Because of this exchange, the Kulin Sword Saint strictly limited the scope of Louis' abilities.

That meant Louis could only use techniques from the same school the students were using, preferably directly competing with the same martial skills.

Certainly, even in a normal state, Louis' martial skills were more refined than those of this group of students.

But with so many restrictions in place, ordinary skills no longer created significant differences.
