Chapter 620: Fight with Han Manman

Under the na of sparring, many of them tried to challenge Xiao Lin, but were quickly beaten down in a few moves. Initially, most of them were unsatisfied. Since it was just a sparring match, they did not use their full strength, and so of them did not even use their talents.

However, with how easily they were defeated, especially with their results being exposed on the forums every day, so monitors could not help but feel humiliated. Even though the results of the spars were aningless, and would not affect their positions as monitors, it was still hard to avoid discussion behind them.

“I can’t believe your monitor is so insignificant.”

“We can’t bla him. There’s always soone stronger out there.”

“Say, wouldn’t it be better if Xiao Lin was our monitor?”

“It seems that Class Seven’s students were really lucky.”

...

The training did not last for just a day or two, which was why the defeated monitors challenged Xiao Lin again after a few days. As an important part of preparing for the duels, Xiao Lin could not reject them as a sparring partner. He privately complained to Yu i, asking why she did not arrange for so higher-year students, or even just used the virtual combat system, saying that would be better.

Yu i aningfully said, “That training would be aningless. You need to understand that the participants from the other academies won’t just be your opponents now. They might even be your foes in the years to co. As a first-year, you’re still not mature, but your opponents are the sa as well. There’s no aning to arranging a fight with an opponent with years of experience. All of you need to understand everything, be it flaws or advantages, and be able to react to it.”

Yu i’s words sounded very serious, but Xiao Lin felt like she just did not want him to be idle. However, Xiao Lin had to admit that fighting with these monitors, regardless of victory or defeat, still gave him a lot of experience.

Combat experience was sothing that one always needed more of. Xiao Lin had spent more ti in the New World than the others, and that was the reason for his greater combat experience, but that was still only by a little. Xiao Lin was very clear that he still had a long way to go, and he needed to constantly accumulate it.

The new training session started again, and this ti, the monitors did not hesitate to use their talents, probably understanding the gap between themselves and Xiao Lin.

Xiao Lin also finally found so interest. Normally, be it in class or training, the others would not easily use their talents. It was actually an unspoken rule for talent holders, since it was better that as few people knew about their strongest trump cards as possible.

Xiao Lin currently only knew of Cheng Ming’s Swordheart talent, and the other talents were just speculation and gossip on the forums at most, which was why he started to be very curious as to what their talents were, and how they compared to an SS-rank talent.

When the new training session started, soone suggested that they would start to seal off the training, and would no longer allow unrelated spectators. That was simple enough; all they needed to do was increase the clearance level of the training hall.

That obviously ca at the protest of the regular students, but it had all been ignored. That way, other than Yu i and Bai Ning as spectators, there were only a few others from the student union.

They also expressed great interest. Talent holders would always stand at the top of the colonists, and there did not seem to be a limit to the amount of different talents that have been recorded. No one could say that they had seen the power of every talent, and it was even possible that a new talent would appear among the new students.

The first to challenge Xiao Lin was Class Four’s Han Manman. As the last monitor to be formalized, Han Manman’s standing was not high. In truth, her skill was very average among them, but possibly due to Bai Ning saying that mages had a very large advantage, or maybe because of her jealousy, and even possibly because she lost too badly to Xiao Lin two days ago, she was the first to step up during that training session.

There were no pointless words as Han Manman started her attacks straightaway. She used wind type spells. Even if she was not much among the monitors, she was still at Black Iron rank, and had quickly summoned two Black Iron ranked tornados.

Xiao Lin’s reaction was even quicker. Just as she ended her chant, Xiao Lin imdiately activated Miracle and used Phantom Steps, drastically increasing his speed and allowing him to disappear from sight.

“Even though Senior Bai Ning said that mages have a natural advantage, their levels are too different. Xiao Lin is suppressing her with just speed alone.” The other monitors that looked on voiced their evaluations.

“Xiao Lin’s speed is shocking!” Cheng Ming remarked. He did not feel any jealousy, and said it purely out of praise.

“Han Manman can only turn back into a defensive position, but I rember that woman only learned offensive spells. Ah, that woman isn’t just arrogant, she’s also a sadist.”

Listening to the whispers around, Han Manman’s cold smile widened. She did not shoot out the tornadoes that she had chanted, and instead held them between her hands. Due to their difference in skill, her perception found it hard to lock Xiao Lin down. Next, she suddenly closed her eyes, and opened them after a second with a strange look in her eyes.

She finally threw the two tornadoes in the air. The two tornadoes clashed together at a high speed among the howling winds, creating an even greater wind and rotational force.

Xiao Lin’s body appeared again. The crowd gasped as a few wounds appeared on his arms. Wiping away the blood, Xiao Lin paused for a mont, but not a bit of frustration could be seen at the unexpected developnt. He laughed.

“Very good, you should have done this from the start. Otherwise, this match would have been too aningless,” Xiao Lin praised Han Manman.

Han Manman looked like she had been humiliated because her strongest attack had only inflicted those minor wounds on Xiao Lin. However, her plan had more or less succeeded. Even if it was two Black Iron-rank spells, the two tornadoes could be combined to achieve even greater power. That technique was sothing she trained for a very long ti to master, so she said in frustration, “Don’t get too cocky! You can’t avoid my spell!”
