School Beauty's Peerless Soldier

Chapter 251: Is it funny?


Ping!

A metallic clang reverberated through the exhibition hall as the silverware knife struck precisely on the ridge of the 36 Celestial Melody Blade, right at the flaw Xu Fan had spotted with his Perspective Eye.

This was the first strike, followed swiftly by Xu Fan lifting his hand again, pausing briefly, then chopping down with unerring accuracy at the same spot as before.

The second strike.

The second strike hit the back of the 36 Celestial Melody Blade, stopping just at the point of contact.

In an instant, Xu Fan lifted his hand again.

The third strike!

This time, his move seemed to carry the power of his entire body, and the onlookers held their breath and watched intently, feeling as though a mountain were collapsing—the force of a thousand jun poured forth!

Logically speaking, the silverware knife should not have withstood such force, but now, as the sound of the chop dissipated in the exhibition hall, the small knife remained unharmed.

"This... "

People looked at Xu Fan in disbelief, then turned their gazes to the 36 Celestial Melody Blade in his hand.

Despite being struck three times by the silver knife, the so-called Demon Blade, the 36 Celestial Melody Blade, showed no sign of damage—it remained intact.

"I knew it, you scared me... "

"A table knife, how could it possibly... "

The crowd, seeing that the 36 Celestial Melody Blade was undamaged, unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, but their expressions soon turned grave.

After all, Xu Fan was representing Huaxia, and losing face in front of everyone would not bode well for anyone present.

"Hahaha, baka! Baka!"

As expected, after Xu Fan finished his moves, Shuichi Akita burst into arrogant laughter.

He had thought this youngster would come up with some trick, but in the end, it was just a public humiliation in front of everyone.

"Hmph, did you really think the title of Demon Blade for the 36 Celestial Melody was for nothing?"

Shuichi Akita's piercing gaze shot towards Xu Fan as if trying to make him realize just how ridiculous his actions were.

Ping.

In response to Shuichi Akita's mockery, Xu Fan offered no reply, merely flicking his finger lightly on the back of the 36 Celestial Melody Blade, eliciting a resonant metallic hum.

"This!"

"No, it can't be..."

In a moment, the spectacle that made everyone's jaw drop occurred!

A crack burst unexpectedly on the frosted blade back of the 36 Celestial Melody Blade and began to propagate rapidly around the blade's body at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Like a demon baring its fangs and claws, the crack caused every onlooker to display expressions of horror!

Such destructive power, coming from a mere dinner knife in this guy's hand, this...

Clatter, clatter, the fragments of the 36 Celestial Melody Blade fell in clusters onto the floor, making burst after burst of cracking sounds, leaving everyone speechless...

Was this guy performing magic...?

The exhibition hall was eerily silent at that moment as Xu Fan, holding only the hilt of the 36 Celestial Melody Blade, looked towards Shuichi Akita.

"Weren't you laughing happily just now? Why aren't you laughing anymore?"

Xu Fan's simple statement shattered the silence in the exhibition hall. Shuichi Akita, who still had traces of smugness on his face, now seemed frozen in time, completely stunned.

His face turned from pale to flush, exceedingly embarrassed, as if he had been slapped hard across the face.

"This is impossible!"

Asou Shuichi frantically seized the 36 Celestial Melody Blade from Xu Fan's hand, and upon seeing only the hilt remaining of the Demon Blade, he shook his head unceasingly.

Once, he took pride in that blade, but now, his own glory had been utterly defeated by the broken table knife in his opponent's hand...

"This..."

Feeling a sense of shame he had never known before, Shuichi Akita couldn't help but hang his head in embarrassment, thinking of his previous behavior.

"A Dongying Blade that can't even defeat a dinner knife, why are you so arrogant? Why don't you explain that?"

"Well said!"

"Damn, that little dwarf was acting all high and mighty just now, wasn't he?"

Under Xu Fan's questioning, Shuichi Akita hung his head in shame, and the people around him couldn't stop shouting excitedly.

To puff up with pride, this was the moment. Seeing Xu Fan standing up for Huaxia and fiercely retaliating against the opponent's previous provocation, the excitement of the crowd was written all over their faces.

"Next time, make sure to tuck your tail in."

Giving Shuichi Akita a dismissive glance, Xu Fan turned and walked towards Xiao Lan without looking back.

"You brat, you've got some skills! This time, you've really made me proud!"

"Xu Fan, well done."

Previously, Uncle Yao's group was sweating over Xu Fan's mysterious actions, but now seeing him striking the opponent so hard, they were all incredibly excited.

"Xu Fan, you've got some moves. Lan will toast to you."

Everyone was feeling joyful and started to toast Xu Fan one after another.

The lively atmosphere was especially nauseating in the eyes of Shuichi Akita.

Having never lost before, how could he accept this defeat now?

"Hmph, mere trickery. I'll see just how skilled you really are!"

Shuichi Akita gave Xu Fan a cold look, summoned his men, and whispered a few instructions in their ears.

"Akita-san, I understand."

As his subordinate hurried away, a confident smile reappeared on Shuichi Akita's face.

"Hmph, what does it matter if the weapon is strong? You must know, whether it's a knife or a sword, it's still the person holding it in their hand that's most important!"

...

Squeak.

In less than half an hour, while everyone was enjoying their chat, suddenly, the exhibition hall door was pushed open with a squeak.

A Dongying man dressed in a pure black swordsman's robe entered the exhibition hall with a cold face.

The new arrival was clearly someone Shuichi Akita had called for on short notice.

Based on the Dongying Blade strapped next to his robe, it was clear he was a practitioner of the martial arts.

With long hair tied in a ponytail hanging behind his head and determined features, his piercing eyes shone brightly like the stars, just as sharp and exposed as the Dongying Blade at his waist!

"This guy looks somewhat familiar..."

"Strange, I'm sure I've seen him somewhere before..."

The crowd observed the newly arrived Dongying man and murmured among themselves.

Although they were well-informed, they couldn't seem to recall who this person was.

"I remember now! That guy, he's Miyamoto Jiro!"

"Dongying? Miyamoto Jiro? Could it be... the Miyamoto Jiro of the One Blade Slash..."

Soon, someone in the exhibition hall recognized him, and faces turned more serious.

Miyamoto-ryu, also known as One Blade Style, is a well-known martial arts school in Dongying! Their blade technique is specialized in Critical Draw, seeking to end the fight with a single slash.

And Miyamoto Jiro is a household name in Dongying!
