Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 1624: Chapter 1626: White Crane Wing

As Senior Brother Wang shouted — Faster!

The battle began.

Wang’s flying sword slashed through the air with a fierce glint, attaching to the target as it charged toward Lu Xiaobu.

Suddenly, Lu Xiaobu leaped forward, throwing himself at Wang.

This caused the surrounding laughter to grow louder, even somewhat disregarding the woman.

”He wants close combat?!”

”How ridiculous! Can his speed match a flying sword?!”

”I almost can’t bear to watch, hahaha!”

”...”

To them, Lu Xiaobu’s approach to hand-to-hand combat seemed as naive and brutish as animals fighting from a human perspective.

Lu Xiaobu’s opponent mocked further: ”Close combat? You must have lost your mind, eating pig fat!”

He didn’t bother dodging or retreating, simply controlling the flying sword to stab Lu Xiaobu’s back!

At this speed, Lu Xiaobu wouldn’t reach him before getting thoroughly pierced!

Everyone stared at the flying sword behind Lu Xiaobu, imagining the scene that would unfold.

They felt a bit proud inside.

See, flying swords are powerful after all.

This kid, hopefully, you learn your lesson!

However, just then, they suddenly saw Lu Xiaobu stumble, rolling forward.

The flying sword whooshed over his body!

Instantly.

The crowd laughed heartily at Lu Xiaobu’s lack of demeanor.

”Did he get scared?”

”This is really embarrassing! Might as well admit defeat straight away!”

”He was going up to challenge so aggressively just now, and now, before even fighting, his legs gave up!”

”...”

The crowd roared with laughter, but the woman squinted, observing the scene.

She believed the person wasn’t frightened.

No other reason, because at that moment his eyes held no fear, even a bloodthirsty fierce glint almost turned tangible!

Indeed!

She was right!

While Wang also laughed heartily, Lu Xiaobu, now rolling like a gourd on the ground, slashed with a knife!

The fierce knife glint carried an unstoppable force, hacking toward Wang’s legs!

Lu Xiaobu forgot where he learned this move.

It seemed it was originally said to be used against cavalry, called Ground Rolling Slash.

Lu Xiaobu actually had doubts, like if a horse hoof came down, forget swinging a knife, it’s like brain matter would spill out.

However, using it now seems quite effective.

”Splat!”

Instantly.

A pair of legs was directly chopped off at the shins.

”Ah!”

Pain instantly spread through Wang’s body, causing him to scream hoarsely.

His whole body fell backward and crashed to the ground with a thud.

Those who were laughing uproariously suddenly stopped short upon hearing the scream!

They stared, wide-eyed, at Senior Brother Wang on the stage who had lost both legs, and the figure who stood up and dusted himself off, holding a knife with murderous intent.

What happened?!

Why is Senior Brother Wang the one who fell?!

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted interrupting their thoughts: ”Stop! Senior Brother Wang already lost!”

This brought them back to reality.

Damn! Yes!

Quickly stop this murderer!

Losing a pair of legs isn’t a major issue; although Foundation Establishment doesn’t possess Golden Core Stage’s strong recovery ability, with the legs still intact, proper treatment would ensure no serious harm after some time!

But a head, once removed, can’t be reattached!

The crowd hurriedly tried to stop Lu Xiaobu.

But how could Lu Xiaobu listen to them? Armed with a sharp blade, his eyes brimming with bloodlust, he approached Wang step by step.

Fear in Wang’s heart overwhelmed his pain: ”I surrender! I surrender!”

His heart flooded with terror.

Where did this monster come from?

He’s ready to kill over a disagreement?!

”Enough!”

The woman who had been watching the battle gestured, waving a hand to send Wang and his legs away.

Lu Xiaobu’s expression darkened as he looked at the woman, like a starving wolf whose food had been taken away.

The woman chuckled softly: ”Don’t rush, today you’ll get your fill of blood!”

Then, her body floated up, sat on the podium, and said casually: ”Challenge him, if you win, I’ll reward you with a hundred Spirit Stones.”

Upon hearing the reason, the crowd, initially scared, suddenly became excited—a hundred Spirit Stones, it’s a hundred Spirit Stones.

Wealth drives ambition.

Immediately, some could not resist their urge to step forward.

”Come, come, let’s spar a bit.”

”Let me go. Your skills are too weak; getting killed wouldn’t be good!”

”Everyone move aside, let me go!”

”...”

Soon, the first ”lucky guy” squeezed out to stand on the stage.

This ”lucky guy” thought the title himself.

”Fellow cultivator, how about we exchange a few moves?” The lucky guy confidently cupped his hands toward Lu Xiaobu.

Many below were still protesting.

”Why was I a step slow?!”

”I should have been quicker!”

”A hundred Spirit Stones!”

”...”

They already viewed Lu Xiaobu as a mobile hundred Spirit Stones.

They thought simply: what Lu Xiaobu did just now was merely taking advantage of the situation.

How could close combat possibly compete with flying swords?!

Just react quickly!

Lu Xiaobu coldly glanced at the person opposite, then suddenly looked up at the woman on the podium: ”Will you interfere?”

”No.” The woman smiled faintly: ”Life and death have their fate, you die, I still won’t interfere.”

”Good!” Lu Xiaobu’s eyes once more flashed with a beast-like glint.

However, inside, he talked to the system: ”How was that? My acting skills!”

System: ”...” You’re just lonely, aren’t you, showing off to me?

The system couldn’t be bothered, Lu Xiaobu also stopped talking.

The lucky guy opposite still cupped hands with the crowd: ”Thanks, thank you! Later, little brother will treat everyone to a meal!”

Look at this attitude, he already thought victory was certain!

And just then.

Lu Xiaobu suddenly made his move.

The lucky guy, in the middle of cupping hands, jerked in shock, quickly tried to block slashing wildly, still mumbling: ”Why didn’t you wait for the start?!”

Lu Xiaobu didn’t reply, his body leaped up, using a move called White Crane Wing.

He remembered this move was from Snow Mountain Flying Fox, used by Miao Renfeng, he remembered watching it on TV—it was so cool!

What attack and defense integration, subduing the enemy in one move, and weaknesses only at the back, blah blah blah.

Couldn’t understand back then, but thought it was cool, did the jump and the move whenever he went out, felt amazing.

Today, he somehow relived that childlike wonder.

He leaped into the air, the big knife in his hand swung fiercely!

The lucky guy’s Treasure Sword collided with Lu Xiaobu’s big knife.

But accustomed to flying swords, the lucky guy’s hands had little power, immediately the Treasure Sword was knocked away by Lu Xiaobu!

Along with it flew a round, rolling head.

The headless body plummeted, blood spraying over those in the back row.

Just now the crowd below was full of jealousy, thinking a hundred Spirit Stones snatched.

But now, each fell into shock!

One move kill?!

Especially those covered in blood, their eyes were practically bulging!

What... happened?!

Academy accidents aren’t unheard of, after all, it’s a cultivator academy, but this isn’t killing just for killing!

Especially when Lu Xiaobu licked his lips, these people shivered!
