The King of Special Warfare Chapter 109

Such a result could only be a coincidence if fate failed to explain this.

Ning Qiancheng versus Li Baitian.

Li Tianlan did not believe in some dark twisted theory. Fifty people had taken a piece of paper with a different number on it. Yang Mengjiang could get to know Li Baitian’s and Ning Qiancheng’s numbers only if she had magical powers.

“It’s not necessarily a bad thing.”

Li Tianlan paused for two seconds and said gently, “After all, it was an Actual Combat Lesson, a good chance. We should see it as a chance to know each other better.”

In terms of gaining credits, it was definitely the worst result. Ning Qiancheng and Li Baitian had both entered Fire-flaming Realm, which was definitely beneficial for Li Tianlan. If the two made it into the finals, it would absolutely help Li Tianlan take first place.

However, now, Li Baitian and Ning Qiancheng met in the first round. It was true that only one of them could remain in the game, which was an absolute loss for East Emperor Palace. After all, it was not a formal maneuver, and they actually would divide the players into the winner group and the loser group, ranking the player according to their actual battle strength.

It was an Actual Combat Lesson. Winning or losing could not reveal the player’s real strength at all.

In the first round, 50 players would fight in pairs during 25 contests. Between Ning Qiancheng and Li Baitian, whoever lost would be ranked below 25th. However, either of them was among the best in the 50 people. A place below 25th could never match their real strength. Nevertheless, that was the rule. If he got unlucky, he should not take it to heart since it was only in an ordinary Actual Combat Lesson.

However, in terms of real combat skills, their meeting actually was not bad. Like what Li Tianlan said, they could get to know each other better.

On the top 10 new generation expert list, Li Baitian was ranked fourth, and Ning Qiancheng was ranked fifth. Recently, they had both broken through into Fire-flaming Realm. Though close friends, they also wanted to exchange some moves to know each other’s real strength. Though today was not a good chance, they thought they should not miss it since it presented itself.

“Go.”

Li Tianlan looked at the two and smiled. “Stop when you need to. We’re all partners, don’t get too serious and don’t bear any ill will.”

“Number three!”

“Number five!”

In front of the crowd, Yang Mengjiang significantly raised her voice. “What are you two waiting for? Come on here!”

Ning Qiancheng looked at Li Baitian, and then the two walked out of the line and headed to the Number Two ring in their front.

Others became dazed subconsciously, and then they exclaimed, out of excitement, pleasure from other people’s misfortune, or expectation. No one expected that the two numbers that Yang Mengjiang randomly picked were Li Baitian’s and Ning Qiancheng’s.

Li Baitian kept a high profile and hid his real name Weakness Li from others. He did not want to hide her real ident.i.ty, instead, he genuinely felt the name did not match his vigor. During the days when Li Tianlan slept elsewhere, Li Baitian was spending his energy everywhere. It was said that he had already tasted at least 10 female schoolmates’ tenderness.

Hearing his Mount Shu Great Void Sword Master t.i.tle, nearly every female school spread their legs for him. During the past few days, he almost raided all the girl’s dormitories by himself. In that way, he not only enjoyed some beautiful nights but also made his ident.i.ty known to the entire Sky Academy.

Ning Qiancheng was known for his place in the top 10 new generation expert list, and during entrance maneuver, Li Baitian and his supportive relation also became widely known. Now, when the two of them met in the same round, people found it fascinating in every way.

Even Yang Mengjiang did not dream that he would pick the two’s numbers randomly in his wildest dream. He became obviously dazed and involuntarily looked in Li Tianlan’s direction.

Li Tianlan was looking at him too, calm and peaceful.

Yang Mengjiang kept his cool, turned around and directly said, “On stage!”

…

“Let the two dogs bite each other. Master Yang really picked some numbers. Youlan, who do you think is better?”

Among the crowd, Xu Yunzong, whose height and physique both stood out, twisted his neck and looked at the two on the stage. Then, he sneered in a low voice.

“Don’t say anything crazy.”

Gu Youlan glimpsed Xu Yunzong. She was wearing the exquisite that covered her face again. Though her eyes appeared stern, her voice sounded coy, which made people’s heart melt. “In the past, Li Baitian was definitely stronger. But now, Ning Qiancheng probably has broken through. Now between the two, it’s hard to tell who’s stronger.”

She paused and kept her expression unchanged. “Dongyu, what do you think?”

Liu Dongyu silently shook her head beside them.

She was one of the old big three of the Flames of War. Liu Dongchao died by the hands of Li Tianlan, and Tan Xilai was killed by Ning Qiancheng. The present Flames of War was shattered, and Liu Dongyu did not enjoy that prestige she used to have. Now, beside Gu Youlan and Xu Yunzong, she was like a follower, and was the insignificant one.

Hearing Gu Youlan asking her, Liu Dongyu shook her head in silence and suppressed her desires to twist around for a glance. She only calmly said, “Dog bites the dog. It’s better if they both die.”

Gu Youlan stayed silent. In the sight of Ning Qiancheng and Li Baitian on stage, she squinted her bright eyes and said, “Watch carefully. I’ve got the news that Li Tianlan also joined Huating Special Operations Bureau, not the head office, but the Thunder. I have a feeling that he’ll be our strongest opponent in the future. Now here is the chance to observe him. Don’t miss it.”

…

“How unlucky they are to meet each other in the same round! I guess they’re already crying in their hearts?”

At another side of the crowd, a short and fat man smiled his eyes into a wrinkle, where ambiguous emotion was gleaming.

His smile made others cringe. Though he looked ordinary, around him, except his several trusted followers, other people seemed to have drawn away from him in a subtle way. No one dared to approach him.

He was none other than the leader of the Elite Organization, Fan Haoyu.

He was also one of the seniors that stayed in school.

After the Flames of War perished, Elite Organization became the largest union among the seniors who stayed. Recently, they actually recruited a few pillars of Flames of War and built up their strength again. His skill was different from the seniors, Liu Dongchao and Liu Dongyu’s overwhelming cooperation. Though looking fat and short, he could still outperform most of his cla.s.smates and even some teachers with his power above the Peak and near the Fulfilment in Fire-flaming Realm. The 50 people present here almost all suffered from members of Elite Organization and witnessed Fan Haoyu’s strength. Naturally, no one wanted to mess with him.

“Don’t be a jinx. Those are some weird numbers. If we are picked together later, who can we blame?”

A man beside Fan Haoyu said. The man looked completely different from him and even could be considered handsome. He was Elite Organization’s number two leader, Xu Muye. He and Fan Haoyu hung out together since childhood, thus he did not need to be cautious with his words.

“You are the G.o.dd.a.m.n jinx. If we’re really picked later, I’ll kill you.”

Looking at Xu Muye, Fan Haoyu suddenly smiled. “Who do you want to meet the most in this combat lesson? And who do you want to meet the least?”

Xu Muye was dazed and suddenly fell silent.

“Gu Youlan!”

After full half minute, he said in a low voice. There was no anger in the voice but it was filled with intense fighting desire.

In the entrance maneuver, when Elite Organization was a.s.signed the hunting mission in the woods, he was defeated by the seemingly weak Gu Youlan who snuck upon him. At that time, they all considered Gu Youlan in Ice-condensing Realm. However, according to various present information, Gu Youlan was a genius fresh in Fire-flaming Realm.

Nevertheless, when she approached him, she used methods in Ice-condensing Realm, which was a complete insult to him. Thus, Xu Muye wanted to fight Gu Youlan the most to have his revenge.

Fan Haoyu frowned and looked hesitant.

In fact, he wanted to advise Xu Muye to let go of that idea. Indeed, Xu Muye was humiliated, but Gu Youlan was really strong. If Xu Muye should meet Gu Youlan head-on, he might not definitely win since they were in similar realms. Nevertheless, even on the same team, he found it hard to break it to Xu Muye.

“Who do you want to meet the most?”

Xu Muye took a deep breath and suddenly asked.

“I’d like to exchange some moves with the little princess’s sweetheart. Rumors about the little princess started to fly in Youzhou. Many knew that our princess gave her heart to a Sky Academy freshman. And some gentlemen from rich families almost wanted to tear him into pieces. Since today I’ve got the chance, I want to witness his strength with my own eyes. If he’s really that capable, I might as well be his follower. If not, I can deliberately lose to him so that I won’t die from my recklessness.”

Fan Haoyu snickered and subconsciously looked in Li Tianlan’s direction.

From what he saw, Li Tianlan almost looked back into him at once. The two became dazed at the same time. However, being familiar with each other, they nodded and smiled at each other without saying anything.

“If I meet the little princess…”

Xu Muye thought for a while and said.

Fan Haoyu looked terrible and cursed. “Xu Muye, jinx me again and I’ll choke you.”

Xu Muye remained calm and continued. “What if we meet the little princes, and she wants us to admit defeat?”

There were lots of experts at Sky Academy.

However, w.a.n.g Yuetong was the last one they wanted to meet.

It was not about the strength, it was because they could not fight at all.

“What are you going to do?”

Fan Haoyu gritted his teeth. “What else can you do except admitting defeat?”

A clang of metal rang, sharp and pleasing to the ear.

In front of Fan Haoyu, a long-haired woman silently took out two fine sabers and was wiping them clean.

The woman was voluptuous. Bulging inside her camouflage pants, her hips were round and legs were long. Her voluptuous curves were really attractive. This was a woman who could be considered sultry only by a look of her figure, soft and charming.

She held the hilt with her delicate and white hands. The saber body was snowy white and s.h.i.+ning. Its hook was not rounded, instead, it had an edge that gave off quite a dangerous feeling, sharp and hard like knuckles.

Saber and beauty.

Sharp but sultry.

They fitted perfectly with each other and made the other look even better.

Fan Haoyu’s eyes slightly brightened. Looking at the legendary and tragical woman among the seniors in school, he suddenly missed her sultry and pa.s.sionate body.

“Hey, Du Hanyin.”

Fan Haoyu took a step forward, snickered and said, “How about spending the night in my dorm tonight? As long as you behave, I’ll pay for your meals next month.”

Several nearby freshmen subconsciously twisted around to see the woman carrying two sabers, their eyes flas.h.i.+ng with ambiguous emotions.

Could such a pretty senior sister in that kind of business?

One month’s meals might be costly, but it was worth it.

Du Hanyin wiped her sabers, ignoring the curious eyes around her. She just shook her head and answered in a gentle voice. “I’ll pa.s.s.”

On the platform, sword intent surged.

It was vague and illusory but still could felt everywhere and seemed to sparkle the entire room.

All the people looked up to the battlefield at the same time.

Sword intent that was as chilling as frost quickly spread. Neither Li Baitian nor Ning Qiancheng exchanged useless words and directly attacked.

Nemours small and exquisite ice swords lined up around Ning Qiancheng like a sword formation, floating in the air and overwhelming.

The platform covered almost 20 square meters. Where the sword formation was laid, Li Baitian seemed to walk on air. Near-illusory sword intent surrounded him and made his figure hard to recognize.

His body was actually still under the eye of everyone. However, every time he took a step, he gave people a feeling that he was flickering, could not be locked on, and even could not be hurt.

He marched on.

The distance between the two people was becoming shorter and shorter.

Sword formation that besieged Ning Qiancheng was getting grander and grander, with enormous sword intent.

There were 10 meters between them.

Ning Qiancheng strode forward.

The entire sword formation rumbled and darted in an instant.

Countless ice swords swarmed toward Li Baitian.

Li Baitian slightly slowed his pace but did not stop.

Around him, half illusory and half genuine sword intent burst out. The flickering sword storm that swarmed to Li Baitian suddenly disappeared when near him. Only chilling sword intent spread, leaving most of the people in shock.

Li Baitian walked on.

Ning Qiancheng’s sword storm was shattered in front of him by his vague and illusory Great Void Sword Intent as if they were swallowed by the Void.

He was walking slower and slower, while his monument kept soaring.

There were three meters!

Li Baitian raised his one hand.

In a split second, a bright sword light was conjured in his palm, sharp, flickering and ethereal.

Great Void Sword Intent shrouded the entire room.

All people present almost instinctively straightened up in guard.

Li Baitian moved his lips. “You go down, I’ll stay here.”

Ning Qiancheng stared into his eyes and nodded, and then he jumped off the platform and said, “I admit defeat.”

The entire room fell silent.

All the students who were antic.i.p.ating a fight between them were dumfounded.

“What happened just now?

“How did the game end?”

Everyone looked at Li Baitian and then turned their eyes to Ning Qiancheng.

“They’re trying to fake us out.

“They’re all G.o.dd.a.m.n actors.

“What are you doing? I’ve already taken my pants off!”
