"Goodbye, wheelchair! Standing before you now is the number one genius of the City of Kindling! The absolute powerhouse who taught everyone love and redemption! The undefeated legend with verifiable battle records!"
"?!"
Looking at Qiji, who suddenly stood up, looking at Qiji, who casually dispersed his strongest Echo, looking at Qiji, whose aura suddenly became terrifyingly powerful...
For a moment, Pierce found himself involuntarily taking a step back.
I'm starting to question the meaning of life!
No!
What the hell is this guy?
How did you do that?
Did he defeat his Crimson Flame Dragon with a single physical attack?
Impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
Are you kidding me?!
Just as Pierce was filled with disbelief and fear, the masked man spoke to him again.
"What, aren't you going to surrender yet? I've already given you a chance."
The moment the words left his mouth, the man vanished from his spot.
The speed he displayed at that moment felt to Pierce even better than that of Kaluo and Setsuna in the previous two sets.
Pierce didn't react at all, and could only watch helplessly as the wind lifted his bangs.
The next moment, the pure white mask was pressed close to him.
Aside from his pupils constricting and his heart skipping beats, there was nothing Pierce could do.
"Cough cough!"
With one hand, Qiji slowly and deliberately took out a tissue to catch the coughed-up blood, while with the other hand, he gripped the wheelchair and raised it high.
A terrifying whooshing sound came, and the wheelchair was slammed down with tremendous force.
Pierce only had time to close his eyes and pray that his [Magma Shield] would save his life.
A breath passed, but the expected blow did not come.
Pierce was overjoyed, thinking that the [Magma Shield] had activated and the automatic defense had been successfully triggered!
Even though he was busy, he secretly opened one eye to take a look.
It turned out that it had nothing to do with the [Magma Shield]. At this moment, it was simply that the other party had changed their mind for some reason and put down the wheelchair.
—After the competition, the wheelchair will be used by my younger sister.
Realizing this, Qiji stopped the car abruptly.
Pierce breathed a sigh of relief, naively thinking he had escaped a disaster.
Then, just a second later, the eye he secretly opened saw a fist suddenly appear, growing larger and larger.
With a "bang," Pierce sent flying backward!
The "fully automatic defense" provided by his Heart Essence Mantle was completely unable to keep up with the speed of Qiji's punches.
Pierce was in mid-air when he was overtaken by Qiji.
With one punch, Pierce's body flew sideways, his spine arching into an incredible arc.
With another punch, Pierce was sent flying upwards, his limbs flailing helplessly like a puppet with its strings cut.
At the same time, Qiji's body appeared above Pierce in an instant, pressing his knee down on the latter's chest, and the two fell to the ground together.
Even as he fell, Qiji continued his one-sided beating.
The wind carried with it a series of heart-wrenching screams and muffled thuds.
Punch after punch, as if there were no intervals between them.
In just a few moments, Pierce's face was no longer recognizable.
His swollen eyelids were squeezed into slits, his lips were split, and his nose was crooked to one side.
Pierce did try to struggle, but each struggle only resulted in an even more severe beating.
So Pierce shut up.
There's nothing you can do if they're not honest.
However, the thought of this scene being broadcast live throughout the city made Pierce grit his teeth and raise his hands fiercely—
She covered her face.
' Sibel Highness, don't look at me...'
'I've disgraced you, I've disgraced Kalentia...'
'how so...'
What Pierce found most unbearable was that this masked guy only used one hand to punch him the whole time!
Because this guy's other hand was always holding a tissue for wiping blood!
So, this must be a real ghost story!!!
'I, the pride of the Victor family, was chosen as Her Highness the Princess's personal guard at the age of seven! The elite of the elite in Kalentia! To crush the weak in the City of Kindling...'
'And then, a patient coughing up blood and in a wheelchair was beaten into this pathetic state with just one hand???'
'It's a dream! This must be me dreaming!!!'
With one hand, Qiji effortlessly punched Pierce, warming himself up.
With his other hand, he held a tissue to catch the blood that he coughed up from time to time.
Blood soaked the pristine white paper. Qiji neatly folded it and replaced it with a new one.
The two tasks were performed without affecting each other, and the movements flowed smoothly and gracefully.
However, Qiji still felt somewhat helpless.
The main problem is that he coughs up blood way too frequently, which really affects his ability to show off.
However, what Qiji didn't know was that the way he was beating up Pierce with one hand while wiping blood with a tissue in the other was even more explosive on screen!
Not only were the viewers in the live stream stunned, but even the ordinary citizens of City of Kindling outside the arena were dumbfounded.
Although Bai Lili and Setsuna set a high bar, their two-to-two draw against Kalentia was already a pleasant surprise for everyone.
However, the visual impact brought by Bai Lili and Setsuna is completely incomparable to that of this moment.
After all, those two guys—
Bai Lili won by throwing money at the problem and by poisoning the victim.
Although she won, everyone knew that Bai Lili's true strength was far inferior to Kaluo's.
As for Setsuna, although he won fair and square, he had suffered setbacks for most of the day before finally turning the tide with a powerful burst of energy.
Of course, this isn't meant to be nitpicking.
Bai Lili and Setsuna's victory was completely unexpected and brought everyone a pleasant surprise.
However, compared to Qiji's performance at this moment, the performance of these two inevitably paled in comparison.
The scene that Qiji was displaying at that moment was so exaggerated in everyone's eyes that it had reached another dimension!
Against the elite students of Kalentia, he completely suppressed them! He utterly crushed them!
"No, who said he's already exhausted his potential and is completely finished?"
"Exactly! You call this unacceptable?!"
"A one-handed beatdown! A truly one-handed beatdown!"
"To be able to exert such terrifying pressure despite his ailing body... just how terrifying must he be in his prime!"
"Am I dreaming? Our students from the City of Kindling are actually going to crush Kalentia?"
"Grandpa! Our City of Kindling has risen up! Can you see it from heaven?"
In the ring, Pierce had completely become a punching bag, falling into utter collapse.
A genius like him, arrogant as he was, he regarded all his rivals in the City of Kindling as worthless trash—
At this moment, he was beaten so badly by the country bumpkin he looked down on that he couldn't even fight back, let alone struggle.
With his face bruised and swollen, his headscarf torn off, and his Armament ripped apart, he curled up on the ground, arms covering his head, having given up even on defense.
Where is even a trace of the composure of the Kalentia elites?
After a warm-up session with Pierce, Qiji had made the most of his abilities.
During this time, Qiji has been lying in bed. He hasn't exercised properly for so long, and he feels like his body is getting rusty.
Now I can finally stretch my muscles and get some exercise.
Warm-up complete!
Therefore, Pierce, who was used as a warm-up tool by Qiji, had no further value in staying in the ring.
"Cough cough!"
Wiping away another mouthful of blood, Qiji looked up at his opponent on the ground.
Pierce was overjoyed to sense that Qiji's attacks had paused!
Now!
He finally found it!
Chance--
A chance to surrender!!!
He had tried to surrender countless times, but he was beaten so badly that he couldn't utter a sound.
I admit it—
However, Pierce's 101st surrender ultimately ended in failure.
Before he could even utter the word "defeat," Qiji's fist had already fallen.
Pierce's spirit body collapsed under that pure, immense force, turning into countless particles of light that scattered across the arena.
Throughout the entire process, Pierce didn't even manage a proper struggle.
Fireworks burst on the big screen; the outcome is decided!
Qiji, victory!
In the academy's spectator stands, a group of teachers looked at each other in bewilderment.
The entire academy square fell silent for a moment.
Chapter 117 The King's Lineage! Qiji vs. the Princess! (3-in-1)
Seeing this truly bizarre scene, the teacher leading the team in Kalentia's face turned extremely ugly.
Where did he get this from???
Is this still the Tide Grand Competition in the City of Kindling?
Right now, Kalentia is not only down 2-3, but they're also playing such an ugly game...
Damn it, does that mean a patient in a wheelchair can just sit on your head and poop and pee on you?
