Chapter 404: Easily Defeated
“I’m fine!” Sha Peng said as he shook his head.
Chu Yunfan saw that although Sha Peng had spat out a mouthful of blood, his condition was still stable. He knew that Sha Peng was fine.
More importantly, after that slash, Sha Peng’s spirit changed. Sometimes, breaking through was such a wonderful thing.
“Good. Go ahead and step down. I’ll teach him a lesson,” Chu Yunfan said and he took a step forward.
“Hahaha, teach me a lesson? You really don’t know how to cherish your own life!” Shangguan Tianyou laughed. He was ranked in the top 30 among all the students this year. This Chu Yunfan guy fellow sure was bold.
Chu Yunfan slowly walked toward Shangguan Tianyou. Each step he took was so steady that it was terrifying. It was as if he was stepping according to someone’s heartbeat, making it tighten in fear.
“Vice-captain, let me handle this. No need for you to lift a finger.”
At this moment, a figure jumped out from behind Shangguan Tianyou. He too wanted to show off in front of everyone. He pounced toward Chu Yunfan at lightning speed. His strength was not inferior to Sha Peng’s.

“Get lost!” Chu Yunfan shouted. The youth who had spoken pounced toward him. Accompanied by a cold ray of light, he brandished a saber in his hands. The saber light was like a bolt of lightning, tearing apart everything. In the blink of an eye, it arrived in front of Chu Yunfan.
At this critical moment, Chu Yunfan attacked and his hand swept out. He did not look to be moving very fast, but for some unknown reason, his attack went past the incoming saber light and he managed to land his attack first.
Bam!
The Shadowless Saber slashed out from beside Chu Yunfan. After which, Chu Yunfan’s large hand ruthlessly swept across the body of the youth.
Slice!
The youth was sent flying at an even faster speed than when he had arrived. He was like a kite with a broken string as he painfully landed on the ground.
All of this took a long time to describe, but it had all happened in just a few moments. The victor had already been decided. The youth could not block even a single move from Chu Yunfan and was sent flying and sustained heavy injuries. The difference in strength between the two sides could be seen in this.
Only now did everyone get a good look at the youth who had pounced on Chu Yunfan. He was tall and had a large figure. He landed on the ground and clutched his chest like he was in extreme pain. He stared at Chu Yunfan in disbelief.
The youth and Chu Yunfan were clearly in the same realm. Why was it that he could not even block a single move from Chu Yunfan?
It was definitely not because the youth had accidentally fallen into a trap. This was because the youth had attacked first. He had clearly seen Chu Yunfan striking out, but he had not been able to dodge it. He could only watch helplessly as he was struck by it. It was truly tragic.
Chu Yunfan’s palm strike not only stunned the youth but everyone else on the scene. Chu Yunfan’s move was truly too domineering. He had sent the other party flying with a single strike, causing him to be heavily injured.
“This is Captain Chu’s true strength,” Ke Rui said.
“No, he’s even stronger,” Ji Shiqing and Ruan Yingyu were staring wide-eyed. They had all witnessed Chu Yunfan’s palm strike. It seemed slow but was actually fast. If it had been them, they definitely would not be able to block it.
More than half a month ago, Chu Yunfan had needed to expend a lot of effort to deal with them. But now, he could probably easily defeat them.
In this half a month, they had improved a lot, but Chu Yunfan’s improvement was faster than theirs.
“Impossible. Who is this guy?” Compared to Chu Yunfan’s teammates’ excitement, Huang Baiqing’s other students were filled with disbelief.
The youth and Chu Yunfan were both at the peak of the Energy Refinement Stage, so how could the youth be so weak? If they had not seen it with their own eyes, they would not have believed it, or they would have thought that the other party was actually an Acquired Stage student. This was the only way that anything made sense.
At this moment, they began to take Chu Yunfan’s title of champion seriously. Initially, they had not thought much of it. They felt that it was of little value. How could a true expert participate in such a competition?
Their thoughts were similar to Sha Peng and the others back then. But now, Chu Yunfan has ruthlessly corrected their worldview.
Compared to the students, the two instructors had clearly seen Chu Yunfan’s actions. Jeang Yuanbin’s face was calm. He had seen Chu Yunfan fight against the Bloodmane Ape alpha and knew that Chu Yunfan’s performance was natural for a mere peak Energy Refinement Stage student.
On the contrary, Huang Baiqing was slightly stunned. He suddenly had a bad feeling. He had thought that victory was in their grasp. He had not expected the unexpected to happen. Jeang Yuanbin had been fighting on the front lines of the human-monster battlefield all year round, while he had been teaching students all this while. For many years, Jeang Yuanbin, who had suddenly retired from the front lines, could not compare to him who had more connections and resources.
Huang Baiqing had received two Acquired Stage students this time around, and Jeang Yuanbin did not have any. This was the best portrayal of the gap between the two sides.
Huang Baiqing had chosen to disregard a mere champion of the instructor competition. In any case, the most powerful person in this competition over the past years was only about the same as the ordinary ones among his students. He had not expected that Jean Yuanbin had managed to find a treasure for himself.
“But that’s it. The gap between the Energy Refinement Stage and the Acquired Stage is not so easy to bridge.”
Compared to the other spectators, Shangguan Tianyou’s expression was clearly more solemn. Chu Yunfan was no pushover. He was enough to pose a threat to Shangguan Tianyou, but it was only a threat.
“You’re quite strong, but you haven’t entered the Acquired Stage, which means you’re still lacking. Today, I’ll teach you the difference between you and an Acquired Stage expert,” Shangguan Tianyou said coldly.
Chu Yunfan looked at Shangguan Tianyou and said, “And how could I let you do that? My instructor said that he’ll only give me half if I can defeat you in three moves. I surely have to be more serious about this.”
“More serious? What a joke, you arrogant and conceited prick!” Shangguan Tianyou roared and the spear in his hand was instantly activated. His face was filled with rage. He must teach Chu Yunfan a harsh lesson.
The spear swept out like a long dragon. Its terrifying speed and strength pierced through the air, setting off a series of sonic booms. The spear had yet to reach Chu Yunfan, but vast amounts of True Energy suddenly condensed on the tip of the spear, turning into a strong energy force. It was likely the spear had the power of a war strike, in the blink of an eye, it had pierced through Chu Yunfan.
“What?” Sha Peng and the others were shocked. Chu Yunfan had been hit.
“You boast so much, but you’re only so-so!”
Shangguan Tianyou let out a sinister laugh but it did not last long. This was because he realized Chu Yunfan’s body had turned into an afterimage and disappeared.
