Forbidden Zone of the Human Race

Xiang Ning furrowed his brows. More than six hundred Fury Points? They must want to kill him! He smirked. They were the ones who had inflicted severe injuries first, so why couldn’t he? How generous of them to give him another six hundred Fury Points, too!

Those who saw Xiang Ning’s expression reacted wildly.

“Look, look at Xiang Ning’s signature smile! That’s him looking down on his opponents as usual. How dare they send such trash? Those bastards are only good for facing weaker opponents, now they’re nothing!”

“What are you talking about? Xiang Ning isn’t looking down on them, he already told them the truth. Like he said, they shouldn’t send anyone under tier three. This guy did as he said!”

“Hehehe, this outcome was as expected. Look at those useless trainees, look at their expressions!”

Feng Yi really wanted to leave. Why couldn’t the audience focus on the fight? Why must they be dragged into this?

Then, teachers from every major academy pointed at replays of the fight, telling their students, “Did you see that? Look at the control Xiang Ning has over his emotions and skills after gaining experience in real combat! That’s very important—remember this! I’ll add a class on ambushes to train your reaction times and decision-making skills during your training!”

Within the Qiling Academy’s arena, after seeing Aiken lose in just one second, Monk shot up and squinted. “President Nathan, let me face him.”

“Hey, you. Yes, you. Don’t look at me like that, don’t come here if you aren’t tier three.” Xiang Ning felt exactly like he had at Hanwu Academy, exasperated. Weak opponents didn’t earn him many experience points, and he had to waste time entertaining them. It just wasn’t worth it. He needed an opponent like Wu Rui. Now, that fight felt good!

Five hundred Fury Points! I’m afraid he’s going to remember this grudge, Xiang Ning pondered. He had been telling the truth!

But others didn’t share the same sentiment.

Monk forced himself to calm down, then spat through his teeth, “Such arrogance!” Then, he walked up to the stage.

Arrogant? Xiang Ning didn’t think he was being arrogant; he really didn’t want to fight tier two martial artists. There was no reason to.

Seeing how Xiang Ning wasn’t taking Monk seriously, Nathan squinted and said, “You defeated Aiken in one move, I’ll admit you aren’t bad at all. However, while Monk is in tier two, he’s still a nine-star martial artist. He’s as good as a tier three martial artist, yet all you’ve done is insult him. Is this the attitude you Chinese have toward all your opponents?” Nathan sneered. Although Monk was a tier two martial artist, he was more powerful than some tier three fighters. Everyone in Nathan’s entourage was talented.

“Insult? No, no, I think you’ve misunderstood me. I’m not insulting him, I’m telling the truth as it is.” Xiang Ning solemnly said. He had no intention of insulting anyone, since he, too, had started from the bottom and he respected everyone who worked hard regardless of what team they were on.

But he didn’t respect these people.

“Yeah, we’re a reasonable and polite people, why would he insult them? That was just the truth!”

“Yeah, we’re just worried for our guests from another country. What if they get injured?”

Fury Points +333

“I’m Monk of Aurig Central Academy, a tier two, nine-star martial artist, let’s fight!” Monk took a deep breath, holding a gigantic broadsword that fit his image.

“I do not—” Xiang Ning wanted to decline, but suddenly heard Liu Ruoxue whisper, “He’s the one who injured Li Zimo!”

“I don’t plan to decline this, so let’s see what you’ve got,” Xiang Ning chuckled.

But the crowd heard him.

“Hey, was he about to decline just now?!”

“He changed his mind so quickly!”

“I’m excited to see this! That’s the blockhead that badly injured Xiang Ning’s teammate… Should we reserve a place at the hospital for him? They’ll pay, of course.”

Nathan’s mouth twitched. He didn’t understand what Xiang Ning was thinking. What was that? He had initially planned to decline the duel! But then the girl said something and he changed his mind. Did he not take the visiting elites seriously at all? That bastard!

“Hehe, that guy before was your teammate? To be honest, he was too weak and was nothing of interest. I hope you’ll last a few seconds longer than him, so don’t surrender too quickly,” Monk sneered, his physique and face a mismatch for his age.

Xiang Ning thought this teenager looked and acted like a thirty-year-old uncle. “Don’t worry, I’ll stay a little longer in the arena, and I won’t even let you surrender.” He smiled. This time, he attacked first.

He didn’t hold back. Immediately activating Keen Observation and Combat Instinct, he unleashed his Shadowmist Ghost Step and shot at Monk like an arrow out of its bow.

That’s fast! Alarmed by his speed, Monk realized there was no time for his blade, he could only dodge!

But Xiang Ning’s Keen Observation picked up on his intentions. Keen Observation automatically worked on any opponent weaker than him. The moment Monk moved, fourteen of his weaknesses appeared in Xiang Ning’s vision. That meant there were fourteen ways to defeat him!

Monk, who was being analyzed by Keen Observation, felt goosebumps rise and a bad feeling rose in his gut. It was the feeling of being cornered, and completely seen through! “No, this is impossible!” He forced his fear down, his muscles reacting instinctively. He needed to use his body to block Xiang Ning’s attack!

“Hehe, let’s see how you’ll block this!” Monk raised his fist but his opponent disappeared. His eyes widened as Xiang Ning’s silhouette appeared to his left. His speed was jaw-dropping!

At that moment, Fang Rou, Li Zimo, and Lu Shiyu, who had received news of Xiang Ning’s return, appeared in the arena. Li Zimo was covered in badges. He had forcefully exited the recovery capsule despite only being thirty percent healed. He was only there by the sheer force of willpower.

Fang Rou had one arm in a bandage and was solemnly watching the fight.

Behind them, Lu Shiyu, who was taking care of them, looked calm. She squinted when she saw the Aurig Academy students.

They caught Xiang Ning’s eye, who smiled, then kicked hard with his right leg, landing directly behind Monk’s knee. Monk fell forward on his knees, coincidentally in the direction of Li Zimo and the group.
