Chapter 152: Fierce Battle

Lin Yao panted while he quickly recovered after being hit by Heavy Punch—Cannon. The two members of the battle flag team were not aware of Lin Yao’s abilities, but they knew that they should strike while the iron was hot.

“His teammates are down, and he is seriously injured. We can win.”

The skinny young man roared loudly from a distance to boost their morale and directed the blood-colored aura with a flick of his fingers at Lin Yao, shooting at him like bullet shots.

Lin Yao’s first thought was naturally to dodge, but he had suffered injuries on half of his body due to the explosion, and there was severe damage to his lungs. The severity of his injuries had exceeded his imagination. Therefore, he was a step slower while dodging the attacks, and he was hit a few times, feeling wrenching pain in his body.

‘Sss… The injuries are too serious. I am about to lose… Huh? Pain… Is it only pain and nothing else?’

Lin Yao, who did not dodge, noticed that there were only bruises on his body after being attacked by the blood-colored aura. As soon as he realized this, he was able to calm down.

The skinny young man on the opposing side was also dumbfounded when he saw the injuries that he had caused.

Then, he could not help but feel endless frustration.

“Why is your body still so hard after suffering injuries?”

What was the reason behind it? It was naturally the Body of Light and the guardian holy seal. Lin Yao was indeed injured, but there was little consumption of the power of light in his body, and the guardian holy seal was also intact. Therefore, his physical defense was still very strong. This was especially so because Lin Yao leaned sideways to get into a sword-drawing posture and resisted the attacks with the uninjured half of his body.

On the contrary, after losing the protection of the blood-colored battle flag, the skinny young man was merely a potential warlord. Martial artists were weaker at long-range attacks than physical attacks. As a result, there was no way for him to cause serious injuries to Lin Yao.

However, he quickly recovered.

“Launch a close-range attack now. Don’t be afraid, One Sword did not take the initiative to use a thunderbolt flash. This indicates that his injuries are very serious.”

As soon as he finished his sentence, he charged over at Lin Yao like an eagle with claw-like hands, and so did the other advanced martial artist.

They attacked Lin Yao, surrounding him from the right and left.

In the process, the skinny young man kept attacking Lin Yao with the blood-colored aura, not to cause damage, but for fear that Lin Yao would cause an illusion with the refraction.

Soon, the two of them were about 10 meters away from Lin Yao.

The skinny young man had been right. Lin Yao was indeed seriously injured. The strong, masculine youth’s Heavy Punch—Cannon was not easy to resist. However, although Lin Yao might be seriously injured, he still had ways to resist the attacks.

Just as the two of them were a few meters away, Lin Yao’s eyes flashed, and the whole world slowed down in his field of vision.

Accelerated thinking!

The two of them seemed to be flying very slowly toward him. Lin Yao calculated the trajectory of the two of them and tried hard to lift the hilt of the sword with the left side of his body, which was wounded. His right hand, which had not sustained any injuries, pulled out the long sword, holding it high and rotating it. Lin Yao suddenly slammed the sword toward the advanced martial artist on the left, hurling the ironwood sword toward the martial artist like a long spear. He himself activated the thunderous vital energy seed and forcibly stimulated his body’s potential despite the fact that his internal organs were injured.

Buzz, buzz.

This strong stimulation made Lin Yao’s hair stand on end, and there was thunder and lightning all over his body. He was in an extreme state.

The corners of Lin Yao’s lips curled to form a grin, and Lin Yao smiled at the skinny young man.

“Let’s see who has a stronger body.”

As soon as he finished his sentence, Lin Yao stomped on the ground with one foot, and the loud explosion caused a big hole in the arena. His whole body was like an out-of-control truck, and he slammed into the skinny young man, who was charging toward him.

“Madman!”

Lin Yao did not have a long sword. The skinny young man had not expected him to use himself as a cannonball to charge toward him. He wanted to dodge, but he was not as fast as Lin Yao, who had used the thunderbolt flash.

In the end, there was a loud bang, and the two men collided fiercely.

Since Lin Yao was faster and stronger, the resulting potential energy was stronger as well. The two of them collided, and the skinny young man was knocked upside down by Lin Yao like a rag, flying straight for more than 20 meters away. As for Lin Yao, after colliding with the enemy, he could not control himself and flew out, falling onto the ground.

At the collision, the ironwood sword had also bypassed the advanced martial artist’s defenses to thrust the young man into the opposite direction.

As his thinking speed had accelerated, Lin Yao could easily see through the flaws of the opposing team.

The battle between the team of No. 4 High School and the battle flag team of No. 1 High School had ended. All of the 10 people in the arena had collapsed.

“…”

The tragic scene shocked everyone, leaving the venue silent for a long time.

After a long while, there were murmurs and discussions among the audience.

“T-This…”

“His Excellency One Sword! Hurry up and save His Excellency One Sword.”

“Woo… His Excellency One Sword. Where’s the medical personnel?”

…

The noise got louder in the stadium. However, most of the audience was worried about Lin Yao’s situation. Some girls even broke into tears, crying out loud.

It could not be helped. Lin Yao was handsome, and many girls had taken a fancy to him. This was a tragic, fierce battle. Although all of the 10 people had collapsed, Lin Yao had almost fought against the five members of the opposing team by himself, taking down the opposing team with him.

Under these desperate circumstances, it was tragic and heroic of him to take down the enemy, who had an entire team. Many girls had an even better impression of Lin Yao.

Some girls could not help going up to the arena to help heal Lin Yao.

However, the referee blocked them from entering the arena.

“The battle is not over yet. We’re counting down now. 7, 6, 5…”

It was not uncommon for both sides to fall to the ground during the battle. As long as there was not a life-threatening injury, the referee would not step in and would instead count down from 10 seconds to see who would stand up first.

The team who stood up would win, and only if both teams had collapsed would it be considered a tie.

The referee was still counting down, and Lin Yao tried to muster all his strength to stand up.

Right now, he was in a bad condition. The strong and masculine youth who had gathered the energy of the battle flag had launched a very powerful Heavy Punch—Cannon toward him, causing an explosion and injuring half of his body seriously.

Lin Yao did not recover from his injuries. Instead, he forcibly used the thunder vital energy seeds to stimulate his physical body into an extreme state. Lin Yao’s body had to withstand high pressure due to this extreme state, and he collided with the skinny youth in this weak state, sustaining even more injuries.

However, this was necessary. After all, his opponent was a potential warlord. If he did not go all out, there was no way he could win with a single move.

Lin Yao was in a very bad state now. He would have lost consciousness long ago if he was an ordinary person. Fortunately, he did not faint due to the Brave Soul and the Light Healing ability, which sustained his injured body. This gave Lin Yao the confidence to stand up at the last moment of the 10-second countdown.

He did so within the 10 seconds, and the referee announced that No. 4 High School had won. Shi Qiang had stood up within the time limit.

This guy had been knocked down and sent flying at the beginning of the match. At the time, the strong and masculine youth’s target had been Lin Yao. He’d merely directed a random punch at Shi Qiang. He had not gathered his energy to launch a Heavy Punch—Cannon. Shi Qiang’s Titanium Body was hard enough to resist a blow from the warlord. Right now, when everyone had fallen to the ground, he was barely able to stand up.

Lin Yao breathed a sigh of relief when he managed to stand up.

“We have won.”

Lin Yao enunciated each and every word. He was the one who had defeated all five members of the battle flag team. In order to maintain his reputation of only using one move to attack and the respective title, he launched five very powerful attacks each time. There was no way the opposing team could stand up after being defeated. In fact, they would need about half a month to recover before they could get out of bed.

Lin Yao had expected the final result. Indeed, no one from the battle flag team had gotten up. In fact, three to four of them were unconscious.

“No. 4 High School has won. Congratulations to No. 4 High School for qualifying for the top eight of the team competition.”

“Cheers to One Sword!”

“One Sword!”

At the announcement of the result of the battle, cheers immediately rang out at the venue. No. 1 High School had always been known to be very powerful, so the teams of No. 1 High School were said to be like a powerful BOSS. It was very brave of Lin Yao and the others to challenge these powerful teams. Upon seeing that they had won, people naturally cheered happily for them.

At the same time, some medical staff carried stretchers to the stage and took Lin Yao and the others to the hospital.

In the process, a large number of girls got up and looked at Lin Yao with concern. There were quite a lot of girls from No. 1 High School among them.

Indeed, a handsome guy could do whatever he wanted.

The 10 people on the field were all carried to the hospital. Several of them were unconscious, so they could not be jealous of Lin Yao.

Shi Qiang was the exception. Although he had known he could not be of much help, he had stood up at the last minute and they had managed to win the match. In his opinion, this was considered a heroic act. However, in the end, no one cared about him, and all the girls’ attention was on Lin Yao.

Even if anyone mentioned anything about the team, they would say that the team was a hindrance to Lin Yao.

“Hey, why didn’t His Excellency One Sword find someone else to form a team?”

“Yeah, I’m better than his teammates. I really want to be his teammate.”

“Impossible, we are from No. 1 High School, and One Sword is from No. 4 High School.”

“No. 4 High School… Do you think it’s time for us to transfer now?”

“Don’t do that. Our team is still in the competition.”

…

Shi Qiang was hurt by the various comments. However, after thinking about it, he realized there was no way he could refute them. The four of them were indeed a hindrance to Lin Yao.

‘We were obviously in the same rank in the first two weeks, but why is Ah Yao so strong now?’

The diamond genius was indeed no joke.

Although his body was in pain, Lin Yao was still conscious and was soon taken to the infirmary.

“Did you need to go this far for a match and injure your body?”

“Cough, I wouldn’t have done so without the healing talent.”

“Your talent is pretty good.”

His self-healing talent was indeed amazing. The doctor could not nag him further.

After locking Lin Yao in the healing chamber filled with healing liquid, the doctor was about to leave. However, before the door was closed, a sweet voice rang outside the door.

“All of you should leave, Lin Yao needs to rest.”

“I’ll go in to take care of One Sword.”

“He doesn’t need you. I will do the job.”

“How are you related to One Sword? What gives you the right to do that?”

It was Yan Yu’er and a group of girls who were talking outside the door. Lin Yao had defeated five people by himself and won in the end. Although Lin Yao was in a miserable state, he was even more favored by countless girls because of his tragic situation. Right now, many enthusiastic girls had had their maternal instinct triggered and wanted to take care of Lin Yao.

Yan Yu’er believed firmly that she was not attracted to Lin Yao. She had seen Lin Yao’s true colors and knew that he was a scumbag.

However, after seeing a large number of girls crowding to visit him, she could not help but feel annoyed.

“I may not like him, but that doesn’t mean that all of you can snatch him.

“I am doing this for your own good. I don’t want you to be deceived by that scumbag.”

These were the reasons Yan Yu’er took the initiative to stand outside the room, preventing the girls from approaching Lin Yao.

While they were arguing outside, a tall and indifferent woman came from another passageway.

The woman was naturally Qin Ya, and she was holding green Water of Life in her hands.

“Inject this into him.”

“This?”

“This is a safe medicine that has been approved by the country.”

When that was said, Qin Ya showed a picture with some words on it, proving that it had been approved by the country and showing the approval number on it.

Since it was unavailable on the market, the doctor even checked the medicine on the Internet. After he confirmed that it had been approved and tests had been run on the medicine, he injected the medicine into Lin Yao’s body.

Thanks to the infusion of the Water of Life, Lin Yao felt his body getting better instantaneously. At the very least, he was no longer in pain when he talked.

“Why are you here?”

“To see if my contract has been deemed invalid.”

“I’m asking how you got in. This is a very important place in the hospital.”

“Don’t you know that my family runs a pharmaceutical company and has a good relationship with the doctors here? By the way, my aunt is the vice president of this hospital.”

“…”
