Elite Mages' Academy Chapter 632 - Fight with Alexander

Chapter 632: Fight with Alexander

In the next few days, Dawn Academy had specially provided the Russian academy with training halls for use. The conflict during the banquet did not cause any problems, and everyone still greeted each other politely when they met. Xiao Lin heard from Song Junlang that the Russian academy had handsomely compensated Dawn Academy for the incident. The Russians did not want the friends.h.i.+p to be affected by the incident.

The name list for the friendly match had been changed during that time. Xiao Lin had been excluded from the individual portion because he needed to have his match against Alexander. The fight would not be counted into the friendly match, which was a request from the Russian side. They hoped that the fight would affect as little as possible.

The president hoped that Xiao Lin would agree as well. Using his own words, it would be a great chance for Xiao Lin since there were not many chances to fight against an S-rank talent holder. Chen Dao might have the power as well, but Chen Dao’s usage of his talent paled in comparison to Alexander.

Xiao Lin understood that he needed more experience in battle, so he naturally agreed.

To the antic.i.p.ation of many, Sat.u.r.day quickly arrived and the friendly matches started. Since it was a closed-off training session, other than the Russians, only the student union was present from Dawn Academy’s side. Regular students were all prohibited from entering.

Since Xiao Lin had been excluded from the list, Cheng Ming replaced him. Of course, the group portion had been adjusted as well, but Xiao Lin himself had no way of looking at how the individual events went because his fight with Alexander was being held at the same time as the friendly match. The fight had been arranged in another training hall, and only the two of them were present, which meant that no one else would know about the results of the battle.

When he met Alexander again, he was not the drunkard he was from a few days ago. Since it was a training match, the two of them only had the simplest training tools and equipment. Alexander’s weapon was a pair of gloves, and Xiao Lin was using a training sword.

Alexander was very bulky, and his muscles looked very shocking. He seemed much more carefree without the influence of alcohol, and he licked his lips as he measured Xiao Lin. “I heard that you specialize in both magic and martial arts, but since this is just a spar and not a tournament, I hope you won’t use any spells. Is that okay?”

“Reason?”

“Warriors only use absolute strength. I’ve always craved a worthy opponent, but regretfully, there’s no one like that in our academy anymore. Even among the graduates, no one can beat me in terms of strength. It’s so boring.” Alexander sighed in disappointment.

His lonely expression caused Xiao Lin some surprise. The guy was just a first-year student, but he was already challenging seniors. No wonder the guy was so eager to fight Xiao Lin after seeing his strength a few days ago.

The urge to fight swelled in Xiao Lin as well, so he nodded. “No problem, I’m also curious as to how strong the so-called first place from Voyna Akademiya is!”

“Then you have my thanks.” Alexander politely expressed his grat.i.tude.

After that, the smiles disappeared from both their faces as their expressions turned serious. Both of them entered their battle states as they observed their opponents, but neither of them made a move. Alexander seemed to have heard about Xiao Lin, since he was being very respectful toward his opponent, which was why he was patiently looking for any weaknesses, but he quickly furrowed his eyebrows in confusion.

Xiao Lin seemed way too weak. Xiao Lin’s size was almost half of Alexander’s. The difference in strength was way too great.

“So, that’s the case. I guess you’re the explosive type? No matter; if it’s a skill or your talent, you can raise your abilities greatly for a short time, and obtain strength that is greater than others, and the rate it increases is also greater.” Alexander quickly made a judgement, but he shook his head in disappointment. “This type of battle method might be able to save your energy, but if that’s the case, you can’t defeat me.”

Alexander finally launched his attack first. They were no skills or preamble; he just lunged straight forward. He had seen Xiao Lin’s speed before, and Xiao Lin now understood that Alexander had been holding back when he was drunk.

How quick!

Today, Alexander’s speed was much faster. His strong body did not hinder his speed and explosiveness at all. He was just like a tank going at full throttle as he thundered ahead.

Xiao Lin did not hurry to activate Ruin, and instead used Miracle first. Alexander’s speed was fast, but Xiao Lin was prepared. He immediately used Phantom Steps to dodge away. Just as he thought, even though his opponent was fast and explosive, the guy’s dexterity was not high.

Alexander let out a grin, not stopping at all as he swung his fist forward. His heavy fist exploded in a fan-shape in front of him, catching Xiao Lin who was dodging sideways.

Using absolute strength to destroy any skill-based dodges was how Alexander chose to respond. Right after the punch, he changed directions. His feet planted on the ground as he flew off the floor. After a short decrease in speed, he shot forward at full speed again.

The sword in Xiao Lin’s hand waved in a fan-shape as well, blocking the incoming force, but the impact still caused his body to fly backward a bit. The brief moment Xiao Lin lost control of his body allowed Alexander to close in the distance.

That was the pressure of absolute strength. It did not give Xiao Lin any time to react. Alexander wanted to end the fight in the shortest amount of time. That was the only way he fought.

However, this time, a sea of flames greeted him. Flames shot out of Xiao Lin’s blade and the temperature soared. Even though he agreed to not use magic, it did not mean he could not use elemental sword aura.

“Elemental sword aura? What a troublesome thing.” Alexander furrowed his eyebrows, but still did not move to dodge. In truth, it was hard for him to s.h.i.+ft his body to dodge anything while he was at full speed anyway.

Xiao Lin used this flame sword aura to stop his foe, but in just a few seconds, the sea of flames parted. Alexander’s immense energy covered his entire body as he barged through the flames.

Clank!

Alexander’s fist finally met Xiao Lin’s blade. sparks flew at that moment, and the impact under his full speed caused the floor to shatter.

Xiao Lin still did not use Ruin, so there was a lot of pressure from him. His opponent’s fist aura was right in front of him, and moved like blades in front of his face. If he retreated at all, the fist’s aura would destroy him.
