Chapter 311 Round Two - Part One

Both Pandaz and Roboz took their position for the second round in a similar fashion as the first one with Yue Han, Xing Li and Kong Xian at the front line. However, while their position was somewhat different, the Savants simply stuck to their initial formation.

Kong Xian once again was faced to battle it out with the Lord Knight Savant while Yue Han stood before the Assassin Savant. This time around Xing Li decided to handle the Warlock Savant. When the referee blew his whistle under his motorcycle helmet, something radical happened. Xing Li feinted her movements and actually went to assist Yue Han against the Assassin Savant.

Bu Dong used his cultivation to dash towards Kong Xian the moment the whistle blew, but as Bu Dong was beside Kong Xian, Katerine used her Shamanic powers to do a body swap. Katerine had given Bu Dong a ritual doll in advance, which was used as a catalyst to swap position with the one holding it, allowing her to pair up with Kong Xian. Unfortunately it was a one time use.

As the body swap was successful, Bu Dong now ran towards the Warlock's Otherworld Minion clashing with it the moment the minion managed to grab the ball without any resistance. "Take this, you stupid monster!" Bu Dong shouted as he slammed his sword hard against the abomination, causing it to be knocked back into the energy barrier. The Otherworld Minion looked down on himself to see that it was being burned as well.

Bu Dong realised this would be the best time to inflict more damage. With his opponent being knocked down he hurried towards it. Suddenly, he noticed a bad smell coming from another ritual doll he was carrying at the side of his waist. The doll had shrivelled up. He then looked up towards the Warlock, who had been casting his curses, yet seemingly out of nowhere the Warlock went into flames momentarily, causing it to lose its connection with his Otherworld Minion instantly.

"Hah! A curse for a curse. Way to go, Katerine! Your Shamanic powers might be the thing to turn the tides for this round!" Bu Dong praised Katerine but she was too occupied with the fight against the combined might of the Lord Knight Savant and Archer Savant.

As they had planned to win this round by concentrating on going two-two-one, Katerine had given all of them some support before the start of the match. She had a number of ritual dolls ready in her storage ring and decided to enchant a few of them as a counter curse management seeing that there was a Warlock Savant within the group.

Of course, being just a Grade 2 Fire Shaman, she did not have the capability to counter all of the curses, and could only do so indirectly. Therefore, she asked Yue Han what kind of effects he felt when he was fighting the Warlock and his minion. Via his explanation, Katerine figured the Warlock was using a sort of movement slowing curse to reduce Yue Han's ability to evade. So she created a specific counter curse that blocked the movement slowing curse and burned the one casting it. In this case, the Warlock.

Bu Dong did not hesitate to use his Intermediate Sword Art, Lacerate in the Blazing Edge of the Angry Ape on the Otherworld Minion. His sword burned even brighter and a larger radius of flame was ignited along his sword especially with the initial buff of Burning Weapons from Katerine's magic at the start of the match. "Die, Abomination!" Bu Dong shouted as he cut off all the arms with two slashes before he followed it up, by stabbing the unresponsive minion causing flames to blow out from the back of the Minion's mouth.

Bu Dong was not done yet, he immediately withdrew his sword from the Minion's body and threw it at the Warlock who had just recovered from the sudden burning. The sword struck his shoulder and surprisingly, it allowed Bu Dong to teleport to that direction, allowing him to slash the Warlock through the chest.

"WOAH! Is that the Advanced Sword Art, Flash Sword?! Bu Dong managed to do it with a Grade 4?!" A customer exclaimed as the crowd cheered loudly.

"No, I think that is his own cultivation technique. There is no way a Grade 4 can learn the Flash Sword, Advanced Sword Art. I remember the Angry Ape Cultivation Style having something similar to a Flash Sword technique but with a shorter distance and with more requirements." Another customer added to the discussion.

"Indeed, the Intermediate Sword Art, Sword Throw of the Angry Ape allows one to teleport to another opponent. However, the requirement for that is to have killed an opponent beforehand. It is meant to keep the 'combo', the tempo of the battle, flowing. If Bu Dong did not manage to kill the opponent beforehand, the Sword throw technique would just be an ordinary sword being thrown at the opponent." Mr Know-It-All explained to them and as usual some of the crowd acknowledged his comment.

"Hahaha! Sounds like some game skill." A customer joked as they continued to anticipate the next move of Bu Dong as he trashed the Warlock.

However, to the high schooler's surprise, the warlock had his own tricks under his sleeve as he held on to him. At that point, Bu Dong suddenly felt his vitality being drained from his body and the hold of the Warlock becoming stronger by the second.

"Shit! This must be some life drain skill?!" Bu Dong realised his predicament too late. He also saw that it did more than just weaken him. The Warlock decided to release him from his grip, but at that point his left arm has already started turning into stone. Having played enough games, Bu Dong knew that it was some sort of petrification skill that could turn him into stone. Hence, he took the most drastic action he ever took in his life.

He cut his left arm away.

The crowd was petrified with horror by the drastic action that Bu Dong took. Some of the female cultivators even held close to their partners upon seeing blood rapidly flowing out of Bu Dong's arm. Even Yun who was tending to the Bar Island was surprised by Bu Dong's action when she caught a glimpse of the auditorium. "That guy sure has guts," Yun said with approval and the crowd did give him sympathy and bravery points in their hearts.

He quickly used his chi to forcefully block the gushing of blood as he rubbed his teary eyes away. Suddenly the blood around him started to rise and turned into a stream of fire which then sprung forward to burn the Warlock once more. He looked back to see that Kong Xian was rushing from behind to prevent the revived Otherworld Abomination from backstabbing Bu Dong.

It seemed that while Bu Dong was busy dealing with his petrification status, the Warlock made use of the time to resummon his minion. It was unclear if it was the same or a 90% similar looking Otherworld Abomination, but no one really cared about that. Seeing their injured friend, both Kong Xian and Katerine decided to disengage with the Lord Knight and Archer Savant duo to save their classmate. With another glimpse, Bu Dong realised Yue Han went ahead to keep the Lord Knight and Archer Savant occupied for a while as Xing Li alone was dealing with the Lancer and Assassin Savants.

The moment Katerine confirmed that the Warlock was in flames, she ad hoc joined Yue Han and provided a decoy flame doll to deal with the Archer Savant as she regained her positioning and energy.

Bu Dong did not hesitate to use his Personal Technique, the Angry Ape Pronounces Its Superiority as he unconsciously dashed to save Xing Li from impending doom from the dual attack of the Assassin and Lancer Savans.

It was at that particular moment that Xing Li released her own technique with her Boomerang which wowed the crowd and the 'hero' rushing to her rescue.
