Zhang Wen’s persistent refusal to yield within the encirclement had already provoked intense anger among the Thamis students surrounding him. When Zhang Wen severed the earring girl’s surveillance device in front of everyone, the long-suppressed fury of the Thamis students finally erupted!
However, their anger wasn’t because Zhang Wen had “bullied” their companion. It was because Zhang Wen’s attitude had made them feel their authority was being challenged, provoking their deepest resentment.
These Thamis students, each considered top of their class and treated like geniuses at all times, had never experienced such humiliation in their lives! Even the instructors of the Thamis martial arts department had to consider these students’ family backgrounds and their influence within the academy when dealing with them.
As for the “waste” from the Almichus Academy delegation—the long-haired boy and his followers—they had long been accustomed to seeing such ridiculous scenes. The moment Zhang Wen fell into the trap set by Lam, the Thamis students had already regarded him as a piece of meat on their chopping board. They all eagerly anticipated Zhang Wen’s reaction upon realizing his desperate situation—just like those previous Thamis instructors who, upon finding themselves cornered, would immediately turn into pitiful figures displaying all sorts of pathetic behaviors to amuse them.
However, they didn’t get to witness Zhang Wen’s humiliation. Instead, his demeanor made them unconsciously feel as if they had turned into a group of mischievous children pretending to be adults despite not being grown up at all! This stark contrast was utterly unacceptable to the extremely proud Thamis students.
The long-haired boy stood there stunned for a moment before suddenly snapping back to his senses.
“Damn it! Since you insist on tasting the bitter end, then let’s all attack together! Let this bastard know what we’re capable of!” he shouted furiously, raising his crystal energy sword high above his head.
“Follow Senior Griffith’s command, take him down!” With the long-haired boy leading the charge, the other Thamis students also shouted excitedly. In their rage, they even forgot to continue concealing their identities, unconsciously shouting out the long-haired boy’s real name.
“Waaah!” Amidst the roaring of the Thamis students, the anxious cries of three girls could also be heard.
However, the Thamis students certainly wouldn’t spare Zhang Wen just because of Xiao Xi and the others’ anger. As the long-haired Griffith charged toward Zhang Wen, they had already drawn their weapons. In an instant, the hall of Training Hall No. 3 was illuminated by the dazzling glow of numerous crystal energy swords being charged with combat energy.
From the brightness of the crystal energy swords wielded by more than twenty students, Zhang Wen could tell that the martial arts students of Thamis Academy indeed surpassed those from Almichus Academy in strength. Not a single one among the “kidnapping students” present had a level lower than the fifth tier. Among them, the student who had initially spoken to Zhang Wen had even broken through to the seventh tier!
According to normal reasoning, Zhang Wen—who was unable to use combat energy—shouldn’t even be able to handle a single fifth-tier martial artist, let alone face so many at once.
However, when he saw Griffith charging forward with his crystal energy sword, Zhang Wen didn’t show the slightest panic; instead, he smiled with satisfaction.
His reason for speaking those provocative words to the Thamis students wasn’t merely to vent his anger. His more important goal was precisely to provoke these hot-headed youths.
After all, even though Zhang Wen had absolute advantages in techniques and was confident in handling attacks from fifth- or sixth-tier martial artists, there were still more than twenty Thamis students around him. If they all attacked simultaneously, Zhang Wen, no matter how capable, would be unable to deal with attacks coming from all directions. Therefore, he needed to provoke them, to make them angry.
When people are angry, they tend to become impulsive. And a group of impulsive individuals cannot coordinate their actions effectively. Zhang Wen’s plan was to disrupt the coordination among the Thamis students surrounding him and make them lose their composure. Only under such circumstances would Zhang Wen have a chance to escape from tonight’s trap unscathed.
Of course, although deliberately provoking his opponents was indeed part of Zhang Wen’s plan, even he hadn’t expected his adversaries to cooperate so willingly. Griffith charging forward at the front was practically like a shield willingly presenting itself!
Before Griffith could complete his thrusting maneuver, Zhang Wen had already moved forward to meet him. At the same time, Zhang Wen once again deftly rotated his wrist, guiding his long sword to make contact with Griffith’s crystal energy sword, which had yet to be fully extended.
Although Griffith’s martial arts level was a full seventh tier—surpassing many bounty fighters in the arena—his ability to adapt in actual combat was extremely weak compared to the opponents Zhang Wen had previously faced, due to his lack of real-life battle experience.
As Zhang Wen’s sword made contact with Griffith’s crystal energy sword, Griffith clearly realized that Zhang Wen was employing an unexpected technique. However, his combat experience was insufficient for him to react accordingly. In other words, at that brief moment, Griffith lacked the awareness to adjust his technique against Zhang Wen and mechanically continued executing his textbook-style thrusting motion.
In a state where he hadn’t fully exerted his strength, Griffith’s seventh-tier combat energy was at most only half as effective. At this very moment, Zhang Wen’s sword happened to make contact precisely at the balance point of Griffith’s thrust!
For a warrior, balance has always been an essential element that must be mastered and given the utmost importance in battle. If a martial artist loses balance in his strength, his power diminishes sharply; if he loses balance in his techniques, he becomes flustered and disoriented. However, if a martial artist’s balance is completely controlled by his opponent during combat, his fate will be exactly the same as Griffith’s in this moment.
As Zhang Wen once again deftly rotated his wrist, gently guiding his sword sideways, Griffith immediately spun uncontrollably like a puppet whose strings had been pulled, completely unable to control his own movements.
After Zhang Wen’s previous battle with the King, his understanding of the Spring Water Technique’s control over balance had deepened significantly. It’s easy to imagine that even a supreme warrior like the King couldn’t resist Zhang Wen’s control, so how could Griffith possibly contend against a martial technique that had crystallized five thousand years of civilization?
“What… what’s going on?!” At the moment he felt his body losing control, Griffith was so shocked that he was practically stunned.
He had been supremely confident in his full-strength seventh-tier combat energy strike! When he launched that thrusting move, Griffith hadn’t even considered the possibility of Zhang Wen being able to block his attack. His mind was filled with thoughts of how he would properly humiliate Zhang Wen after piercing his body, then show off in front of his companions. In fact, Griffith had even considered whether he should hold back a little when striking Zhang Wen to avoid accidentally killing the visiting Almichus Academy teacher.
In short, as Griffith swung his sword toward Zhang Wen, he had thought of many things—but the one thing he absolutely hadn’t considered was what would happen if Zhang Wen managed to parry his attack.
In Griffith’s perception, it was absolutely impossible for a useless nobody who couldn’t even use combat energy to block his attack! It was more absurd than those clichéd jokes that Empire citizens loved to tell, like “land-beasts flying.”
Yet now, right before Griffith’s eyes… “The land-beast really did fly!” For some inexplicable reason, this thought suddenly popped into Griffith’s blank mind—a thought that should have been extremely ridiculous, yet one that made him unable to even crack a smile.
Although Griffith himself was already stunned and unable to think, his well-trained thrusting motion was something he could perform without conscious thought. Thus, Griffith’s proud seventh-tier strength now ironically became Zhang Wen’s best shield.
Under Zhang Wen’s complete control, Griffith naturally spun around, and his crystal energy sword, in a daze, stabbed toward the direction originally behind him! In that direction, several Thamis students who had responded to Griffith’s call were just charging forward with their crystal energy swords.
“Griffith, what are you…” Seeing Griffith’s crystal energy sword unexpectedly swinging toward his companions, the Thamis students who had charged toward Zhang Wen alongside Griffith were immediately thrown into chaos.
These Thamis noble students, who had spent every day with Griffith, were well aware of the might of his seventh-tier combat energy. None of the Thamis students present dared to confront Griffith head-on. As a result, those Thamis students blocking Griffith’s path couldn’t continue charging toward Zhang Wen. They all shouted curses, withdrew their half-executed moves, and jumped aside in panic.
Taking advantage of Griffith’s “help,” Zhang Wen effortlessly carved a bloody path from the encirclement formed by more than twenty Thamis students.
“Waaah! Waaah!” Hearing the sounds of Zhang Wen engaging the Thamis students, the three blindfolded girls became increasingly anxious, desperately shouting.
Unfortunately, their mouths were gagged, so all they could emit were “waaah” sounds, leaving no one able to discern whether they were cheering for Zhang Wen or trying to convey other meanings.
Neither Zhang Wen, who had broken through the encirclement, nor the slightly confused Thamis students—due to Griffith’s inexplicable “betrayal”—had any interest or time to care about the thoughts of the three “hostages.”
Although Zhang Wen had broken through the encirclement, the training hall’s entrance had already been locked shut by two Thamis students with a steel lock the moment he entered. Without the ability to use combat energy, Zhang Wen would probably not be able to sever the lock, which was nearly as thick as a thumb, anytime soon.
In other words, Zhang Wen was still trapped inside a closed training hall, approximately the size of four basketball courts, together with more than twenty dangerous Thamis students. His crisis had not been resolved in the slightest.
On the other side, after a brief moment of hesitation, the Thamis students became even more furious. For these proud Thamis students, launching a coordinated attack with so many people against an Almichus Academy “waste teacher” who couldn’t even use combat energy was already considered overkill. Yet the result of their mass assault was that their opponent had managed to break through the encirclement! Zhang Wen’s actions were essentially slapping each of them across the face with a resounding blow.
If previously the Thamis students had merely intended to play around with Zhang Wen, treating it as a mere game to tease him, now these proud Thamis young masters were genuinely enraged.
“Griffith, what the hell just happened?” Several hot-tempered Thamis students shouted angrily at Griffith—who had inadvertently helped Zhang Wen—while raising their crystal energy swords again and aggressively surrounding Zhang Wen, who had retreated to the center of the training hall from multiple directions.
“Damn it! That wasn’t intentional! That guy is strange!” Finally regaining his senses from the shock, Griffith shouted furiously, gritting his teeth as he charged toward Zhang Wen once more.
Among these “rowdy young lords” of Thamis Academy, Griffith had always been the de facto leader due to his superior strength. This not only gave him a prominent status within the academy but also easily won him the admiration of most of the female students.
However, precisely because being the leader came with such delightful benefits, Griffith’s position had never been entirely stable. Among his peers, there were many ambitious individuals eager to replace him. Therefore, Griffith—who had just committed a critical mistake—was more desperate than anyone else to restore his dignity.
After pushing his seventh-tier combat energy to its limit, Griffith’s speed was clearly much faster than the other Thamis students. He easily overtook the first few companions charging toward Zhang Wen and once again surged to the forefront.
Griffith glared at Zhang Wen with gritted teeth, his right arm gripping the crystal energy sword fully charged with power, stretched far back. He was pouring all his strength into this moment, determined to make that detestable Almichus “waste teacher” understand the price of opposing Griffith!
Zhang Wen saw Griffith’s face twisted with rage, and he also saw the dazzling glow of the crystal energy sword in Griffith’s right hand. Yet, facing Griffith’s furious charge, Zhang Wen smiled inwardly with delight.
Truly unwilling to learn from his lesson… Zhang Wen’s lips slightly curled upward. Suddenly, like applying emergency brakes, he slid to a stop on the floor where he had been sprinting toward the depths of the training hall. Then, in a sudden burst of acceleration, he charged straight back toward Griffith—who was now less than five or six meters away!
“Damn it! Don’t think the same trick will always work!” Seeing Zhang Wen counterattack, Griffiths smirked confidently and shouted with all his might. At the same time, Griffiths suddenly changed his posture. He swiftly extended his previously bent right arm outward, transforming his thrusting move into a wide horizontal slash.
Arrogant Griffiths believed his sudden change of tactics would surely catch Zhang Wen off guard. No matter what strange trick Zhang Wen had used previously to make his body lose control, this time he was certain Zhang Wen wouldn’t escape his grasp.
However, as Griffiths swung his crystal-energy sword at Zhang Wen using a textbook-perfect stance, he frustratingly discovered that Zhang Wen’s longsword was once again waiting precisely on the path it had to take!
Exactly at the moment when Griffiths’ power was about to be unleashed, Zhang Wen’s sword lightly touched the crystal-energy blade just as casually as before, and Griffiths found himself dancing like the most dedicated ballet dancer, following the script written by Zhang Wen.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
“Bastard! Don’t think the same trick will always work!” Seeing Zhang Wen charging back, Griffith also smiled smugly and then shouted with all his might. As he shouted, Griffith’s stance suddenly changed. He swiftly extended his right arm, which had been bent behind him, transforming his thrust into a horizontal slash.
Griffith, thinking himself clever, believed that his sudden change of technique would surely catch Zhang Wen off guard. No matter what strange method Zhang Wen had used earlier to make his body lose control, this time he was certain to escape Griffith’s grasp.
However, when Griffith, with a textbook-perfect stance, swung his crystal energy sword at Zhang Wen, he was utterly frustrated to find that Zhang Wen’s longsword was once again waiting precisely in his path!
Just as Griffith’s power was about to be unleashed, Zhang Wen’s sword lightly touched the crystal energy sword, and Griffith, like the most dedicated ballet dancer, began to “dance” according to Zhang Wen’s script.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
Amid the crisp sounds of the crystal energy swords clashing, Griffith seemed to become Zhang Wen’s perfect partner. He circled around Zhang Wen, and his full-force slash not only failed to harm Zhang Wen but also perfectly blocked the four Thamys students who had charged at Zhang Wen first. Those four students, eager to make a name for themselves, had rushed at Zhang Wen too quickly and couldn’t dodge Griffith’s powerful horizontal slash in time.
The clash of the crystal energy swords immediately revealed the undeniable gap in strength between Griffith and the other students. The four Thamys students combined couldn’t withstand Griffith’s horizontal slash. Their full-force attacks were effortlessly deflected by Griffith. Even the two who had first clashed with Griffith were injured by his powerful combat energy and lay on the ground, unable to get up for a long time.
Then, as if not yet satisfied, Griffith stumbled into the large group that was charging at Zhang Wen, causing chaos among them.
“Bastard! Griffith, what the hell are you doing?”
“Griffith, I know you’ve always had a problem with us. But to cause internal strife in front of outsiders, are you insane?” The four Thamys students who had been deflected were the ones who had always been most dissatisfied with Griffith. Seeing him make such unbelievable “low-level mistakes,” they didn’t hesitate to angrily turn their accusations towards him.
“Exactly. Griffith, you can settle your scores with him after we deal with that guy,” even those who had always supported Griffith tried to persuade him.
“I didn’t! I told you, that guy is weird! He used some kind of sorcery to make me lose control of my actions!”
Although Griffith shouted desperately to explain that attacking his comrades wasn’t his intention, the Thamys students who hadn’t experienced Zhang Wen’s combat skills firsthand couldn’t possibly believe him.
“Bah! Griffith, a real man should own up to his actions. Are you afraid to admit what you’ve done?” The Thamys student who had been first hit by Griffith’s horizontal slash struggled to his feet and sneered.
As the first victim, this Thamys student knew best how much power was in Griffith’s attack. To him, Griffith’s claim that Zhang Wen could make his actions lose control was nothing but an absurd excuse.
“A seventh-level martial artist’s full-force attack being controlled by a guy who can’t even use combat energy… Griffith, don’t you think saying that is an insult to our intelligence?” Another Thamys student who had been injured by Griffith couldn’t hold back his anger and mocked him.
After the two injured students spoke, even those who had always trusted Griffith couldn’t help but cast suspicious glances at him. Indeed, Griffith’s explanation sounded too far-fetched.
“Damn it! Believe it or not, I’m telling the truth! Who the hell knows what kind of sorcery that bastard used?! Since you all doubt me, fine, I quit today. Whoever wants to deal with him can go ahead!” Griffith, incensed by the others’ suspicions, let out a string of curses and then slammed his crystal energy sword to the ground, effectively quitting.
The two Thamys students who had also been deflected by Griffith but weren’t injured immediately saw an opportunity. They exchanged glances and then charged at Zhang Wen again.
In the past few minutes, the Thamys students had been busy trying to persuade Griffith, temporarily forgetting about Zhang Wen. When Griffith announced he was quitting and the two comrades charged at Zhang Wen, the group suddenly remembered that their main target was still at large!
Thus, the twenty-something Thamys students, as if waking from a dream, followed the two leading students and charged at Zhang Wen, who was about ten meters away.
Seeing the Thamys students charging at him again, Zhang Wen’s smile grew wider. While the Thamys students had been busy with their internal strife, Zhang Wen had already observed them.
Even without the help of the Spring Water Technique’s combat energy, Zhang Wen could sense that if Griffith wasn’t the first to charge in the next wave of attacks, it would definitely be the guys who had been knocked back by Griffith’s sword.
Having made this judgment, Zhang Wen deliberately chose his position while retreating. He now stood about ten meters away from the students who had been knocked back by Griffith, while the main group of Thamys students was much farther away.
This way, Zhang Wen created a time difference for his pursuers. The two Thamys students who reached him first would arrive a second or two before the main group. And that second or two was enough for Zhang Wen to execute his most skilled sword technique.
As the two Thamys students charged at Zhang Wen, Zhang Wen also moved. Of course, Zhang Wen didn’t turn and run like most people would in such a situation, nor did he charge forward like he had with Griffith. Instead, he quickly slid to the right, positioning himself to the side of the Thamys students.
As Zhang Wen moved, the Thamys students naturally changed direction. The two Thamys students who had been charging side by side now found themselves in a single file.
However, the two Thamys students didn’t mind this small change and continued charging at Zhang Wen. In their view, no matter what tricks Zhang Wen used, he couldn’t change the fact that he couldn’t use combat energy. Their sixth-level combat energy, though not as strong as Griffith’s, wasn’t just for show!
A distance of about ten meters could be covered in the blink of an eye for a sixth-level martial artist. The two Thamys students indeed took less than a second to reach Zhang Wen.
The leading Thamys student sneered as he thrust his crystal energy sword at Zhang Wen. But just as he was imagining the scene of being cheered after defeating Zhang Wen, he suddenly realized that Zhang Wen’s sword had somehow already touched his.
Then, the unfortunate Thamys student was horrified to find that he was indeed experiencing what Griffith had described—his body was out of control!
Damn it! The panicked Thamys student desperately tried to regain control of his body. But he quickly realized that the more he struggled, the more out of control his body became.
Does that guy really know sorcery? As the tragic Thamys student found himself turning 180 degrees and thrusting his crystal energy sword at his comrade, this was the only thought left in his mind.
The comrade following closely behind was even more panicked when he saw this. After all, he was only a meter or two behind the first Thamys student! At such a short distance, when the first student suddenly turned and thrust his sword, the follower had no time to dodge!
“Ah!” The follower screamed as he saw his comrade’s sword thrusting towards him, but then he was shocked to find that the tragic scene of Thamys students stabbing each other didn’t happen. Just as the sword was about to pierce his body, the crystal energy sword, tangled with Zhang Wen’s sword, suddenly lifted and tangled with his own crystal energy sword. Then, the follower also understood what Griffith meant by “body out of control.”
The two sixth-level Thamys students spun around like drunkards, eventually turning around and unleashing their most powerful techniques at the large group of comrades following them.
Heh! A bunch of idiots! Watching the two who had doubted him end up in the same situation as he had, Griffith couldn’t help but feel a sense of schadenfreude.
The Thamys students who had been charging at Zhang Wen with gritted teeth all stopped in their tracks, unsure of what to do. The three beautiful “hostages” tied up in the corner of the training hall had also stopped struggling.
Although the three girls were blindfolded, they could still hear from the Thamys students’ conversations that Zhang Wen was actually the one dominating the situation!
What? After sealing his combat energy, he could still render over twenty fifth, sixth, and seventh-level martial artists helpless? Impossible! How unbelievable! The three girls all perked up their ears, afraid to miss a single word from the Thamys students.
“Bastard! Don’t think the same trick will always work!” Seeing Zhang Wen charging back, Griffith also smiled smugly and then shouted with all his might. As he shouted, Griffith’s stance suddenly changed. He swiftly extended his right arm, which had been tucked behind him, transforming his thrust into a horizontal slash.
The overconfident Griffith thought that his sudden change of move would surely catch Zhang Wen off guard. No matter what strange technique Zhang Wen had used earlier to make him lose control of his body, this time he was certain to have him in his grasp.
However, when Griffith swung his crystal energy sword at Zhang Wen in a textbook-perfect stance, he was utterly frustrated to find that Zhang Wen’s longsword was once again waiting right in his path!
Just as Griffith’s power was about to be unleashed, Zhang Wen’s sword lightly touched the crystal energy sword, and Griffith, like the most dedicated ballet dancer, began to “dance” according to Zhang Wen’s script.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
Amid the crisp sounds of the crystal energy swords clashing, Griffith seemed to become Zhang Wen’s perfect partner. He circled around Zhang Wen, and his full-powered slash not only failed to harm Zhang Wen but also perfectly blocked the four Thamis students who had charged at Zhang Wen first. Those four students, eager to make a name for themselves, had rushed at Zhang Wen too quickly and couldn’t dodge Griffith’s powerful horizontal slash in time.
The clash of the crystal energy swords immediately revealed the stark difference in strength between Griffith and the other students. The four Thamis students combined couldn’t withstand Griffith’s horizontal slash. Their full-powered attacks were effortlessly deflected by Griffith.

“Bastard! Griffith, what the hell are you doing?”
“Griffith, I know you’ve always had it in for us. But causing internal strife in front of outsiders, are you out of your mind?” The four Thamis students who had been deflected were the ones who had always been the most dissatisfied with Griffith. Seeing him make such unbelievable “low-level mistakes,” they immediately turned their anger towards him.
“Right. Griffith, you can settle your scores with him after we deal with that guy,” even some of Griffith’s staunchest supporters tried to reason with him.
“I didn’t! I told you, that guy is weird! He used some kind of sorcery to make me lose control of my movements!”
Despite Griffith’s desperate attempts to explain that attacking his comrades wasn’t his intention, the Thamis students who hadn’t experienced Zhang Wen’s combat techniques firsthand couldn’t possibly believe him.
“Pah! Griffith, a real man should own up to his actions!” The Thamis student who had been the first to be hit by Griffith’s horizontal slash struggled to his feet and sneered.
As the primary victim, this student knew exactly how much force Griffith’s attack had contained. To him, Griffith’s claim that Zhang Wen could make him lose control of his movements was nothing but an absurd excuse.
“A seventh-level martial artist’s full-powered attack being controlled by a guy who can’t even use combat energy… Griffith, don’t you think that’s an insult to our intelligence?” Another injured Thamis student couldn’t hold back his anger and mocked Griffith.
After the two injured students spoke, even the most trusting Thamis students couldn’t help but cast doubtful glances at Griffith. Indeed, Griffith’s explanation sounded too far-fetched.
“Damn it! Believe it or not, I’m telling the truth! Who the hell knows what kind of sorcery that bastard is using?! If you all doubt me, fine, I quit! Whoever wants to deal with him, go ahead!” Griffith, incensed by the others’ suspicion, let out a string of curses and then slammed his crystal energy sword into the ground, effectively quitting.
The two Thamis students who had also been deflected but weren’t injured immediately saw an opportunity. They exchanged glances and then charged at Zhang Wen again.

Thus, the twenty-something Thamis students snapped out of it and followed the two leading students, charging towards Zhang Wen, who was about ten meters away.
As the Thamis students swarmed towards him again, Zhang Wen’s smile grew wider. While the Thamis students had been busy with their internal strife, Zhang Wen had already observed them closely.
Even without the help of the Spring Water Technique’s combat energy, Zhang Wen could sense that if Griffith wasn’t the first to charge in the next wave of attacks, it would definitely be the guys who had been knocked back by Griffith’s slash.
Having made this judgment, Zhang Wen deliberately chose his position while retreating. He stood about ten meters away from the students Griffith had knocked back, while the main group of Thamis students was much farther away.
This way, Zhang Wen created a time difference for his pursuers. The two Thamis students who reached him first would arrive a second or two before the main group. And that second or two was all Zhang Wen needed to unleash his most skilled sword technique.
As the two Thamis students charged at Zhang Wen, Zhang Wen also took action. Of course, Zhang Wen didn’t flee like most people would in this situation, nor did he charge forward like he had with Griffith. Instead, he quickly sidestepped to the right, positioning himself to the side of the Thamis students.
As Zhang Wen moved, the Thamis students naturally changed direction. The two students who had been charging side by side now found themselves in a single file.
However, the two Thamis students didn’t mind this minor change and continued to charge at Zhang Wen with all their might. In their eyes, no matter what tricks Zhang Wen pulled, he couldn’t change the fact that he couldn’t use combat energy. Their sixth-level combat energy might not be as strong as Griffith’s, but it wasn’t just for show!
Ten meters was a distance a sixth-level martial artist could cover in the blink of an eye. The two Thamis students indeed took less than a second to reach Zhang Wen.
The leading Thamis student smirked as he thrust his crystal energy sword at Zhang Wen. But just as he was fantasizing about the cheers he would receive after defeating Zhang Wen, he suddenly realized that Zhang Wen’s longsword had somehow already touched his sword.
Then, the unfortunate Thamis student was horrified to find that he was indeed experiencing what Griffith had described—his body was out of control!
Damn it! The panicked Thamis student desperately tried to regain control of his body, but he quickly realized that the more he struggled, the more out of control he became.
Does that guy really… really know sorcery? As the tragic Thamis student found himself turning 180 degrees and thrusting his crystal energy sword at his comrade, this was the only thought left in his mind.

Just as the sword was about to pierce his body, the crystal energy sword, tangled with the longsword, suddenly lifted and tangled with his own crystal energy sword. Then, the follower also understood what Griffith meant by “losing control of his body.”
The two sixth-level Thamis students spun around like drunkards, eventually turning around and unleashing their most powerful moves at the large group of comrades following them.
Heh! What a bunch of idiots! Seeing the two who had doubted him end up in the same situation as he had, Griffith couldn’t help but feel a sense of schadenfreude.
The Thamis students, who had been charging at Zhang Wen with gritted teeth, all stopped in their tracks, bewildered. Meanwhile, the three beautiful “hostages” tied up in the corner of the training hall had long since stopped struggling.
Although the three girls were blindfolded, they could still hear from the Thamis students’ conversations that Zhang Wen was actually the one dominating the situation!
What? After sealing his combat energy, he could still render over twenty fifth, sixth, and seventh-level martial artists helpless? Impossible! Unbelievable! The three girls all perked up their ears, eager not to miss a single word from the Thamis students.
Then, as if still not satisfied, Griffiths stumbled forward into the main group rushing toward Zhang Wen, causing chaos among the crowd.
“Damn it! Griffiths, what exactly do you think you’re doing?”
“Griffiths, I know you’ve never liked us, but are you out of your mind starting an internal conflict in front of outsiders?”
The four Thamis disciples who had been thrown back were already the most dissatisfied with Griffiths. Seeing him commit inexplicable “blunders,” they immediately and angrily turned their accusations toward Griffiths.
“Bastard! Don’t think the same trick will always work!” Seeing Zhang Wen charging back, Griffith couldn’t help but smirk and then shouted with all his might. As he shouted, Griffith’s stance suddenly changed. He swiftly extended his right arm, which had been tucked behind him, transforming his initial thrust into a sweeping slash.
The overconfident Griffith believed that his sudden change of tactics would surely catch Zhang Wen off guard. No matter what strange trick Zhang Wen had used earlier to make his body lose control, this time he was certain to have him in his grasp.
However, when Griffith, with his textbook-perfect stance, swung his energy sword at Zhang Wen, he was utterly dismayed to find that Zhang Wen’s longsword was once again waiting precisely in his path!
Just as Griffith’s power was about to be unleashed, Zhang Wen’s sword lightly touched the energy sword, and Griffith, like the most dedicated ballet dancer, began to “dance” according to Zhang Wen’s script.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
In the crisp sounds of the energy swords clashing, Griffith seemed to become Zhang Wen’s perfect partner. He circled around Zhang Wen, and his full-force slash not only failed to harm Zhang Wen but also perfectly blocked the four Themis students who were charging at him. Those four students, eager to make a name for themselves, had rushed at Zhang Wen too quickly and couldn’t dodge Griffith’s powerful slash in time.

As the first victim, this student knew exactly how much force was behind Griffith’s attack. To him, Griffith’s claim that Zhang Wen could make him lose control of his actions was nothing but an absurd excuse.

“Damn it! Believe it or not, I’m telling the truth! Who the hell knows what kind of sorcery that bastard used?! Since you all doubt me, I might as well quit today. Whoever wants to deal with him can go ahead!” Griffith, incensed by the others’ suspicions, let out a string of curses and then slammed his energy sword into the ground, effectively giving up.
The two Themis students who had also been deflected but weren’t injured immediately saw an opportunity. They exchanged a glance and then charged at Zhang Wen once more.
In the past few minutes, the Themis students had been busy trying to reason with Griffith, temporarily forgetting about Zhang Wen. When Griffith announced he was quitting and the two comrades charged at Zhang Wen, the group suddenly remembered that their main target was still at large!
Thus, the twenty-something Themis students, as if waking from a dream, followed the two leading students and charged at Zhang Wen, who was about ten meters away.
Seeing the Themis students charging at him again, Zhang Wen’s smile widened. While the Themis students were busy with their internal strife, Zhang Wen had already observed them closely.
Even without the help of the Spring Water Technique’s combat energy, Zhang Wen could sense that if Griffith wasn’t the first to charge in the next wave of attacks, it would definitely be the students who had been knocked back by Griffith’s slash.
Having made this judgment, Zhang Wen deliberately chose his position while retreating. He now stood about ten meters away from the students who had been knocked back by Griffith, while the main group of Themis students was much farther away.
This way, Zhang Wen created a time gap for his pursuers. The two Themis students who reached him first would arrive a second or two before the main group. And that second or two was enough for Zhang Wen to execute his most skilled sword technique.
As the two Themis students charged at Zhang Wen, Zhang Wen also moved, keeping his eyes on his opponents. Of course, Zhang Wen didn’t turn and flee like most people would in such a situation, nor did he charge forward like he had with Griffith. Instead, he quickly sidestepped to the right, positioning himself to the side of the Themis students.
As Zhang Wen moved, the Themis students naturally changed direction. The two students who had been charging side by side now found themselves in a staggered formation.
However, the two Themis students didn’t pay much attention to this minor change and continued to charge at Zhang Wen with all their might. In their eyes, no matter what tricks Zhang Wen pulled, he couldn’t change the fact that he couldn’t use combat energy. Their sixth-level combat energy might not be as strong as Griffith’s, but it wasn’t just for show!
A distance of ten meters could be covered in the blink of an eye for a sixth-level martial artist. The two Themis students indeed reached Zhang Wen in less than a second.
The leading Themis student smirked as he thrust his energy sword at Zhang Wen. But just as he was imagining the scene of being cheered after defeating Zhang Wen, he suddenly realized that Zhang Wen’s longsword had somehow already touched his sword.
Then, the unfortunate Themis student was horrified to discover that he was indeed experiencing what Griffith had described—his body was out of control!
Damn it! The panicked Themis student desperately tried to regain control of his body. But he soon realized that the more he struggled, the more his body seemed to lose control.
Does that guy really… really know sorcery? As the tragic Themis student found himself turning 180 degrees and thrusting his energy sword at his comrade, this was the only thought left in his mind.
The comrade following closely behind was even more panicked when he saw this. After all, he was only a meter or two behind the leading student! At such a short distance, when the leading student suddenly turned and thrust his sword, the follower had no time to dodge!
“Ah!” The follower let out a scream as he saw his comrade’s sword thrusting towards him. But then, to his disbelief, the tragic scene of Themis students stabbing each other didn’t happen. Just as the sword was about to pierce his body, the energy sword, tangled with the longsword, suddenly lifted and tangled with his own energy sword. Then, the follower also understood what Griffith meant by “losing control of his body.”
The two sixth-level Themis students spun around like drunken men, eventually turning back and unleashing their most powerful moves at the large group of comrades following them.
Heh! What a bunch of idiots! Seeing the two who had doubted him end up in the same situation as he had, Griffith couldn’t help but feel a sense of schadenfreude.
The Themis students who had been charging at Zhang Wen with gritted teeth all stopped in their tracks, bewildered. Meanwhile, the three beautiful “hostages” tied up in the corner of the training hall had long since stopped struggling.
Although the three girls were blindfolded, they could still hear from the Themis students’ conversations that Zhang Wen was actually the one dominating the situation!
What? After sealing his combat energy, he could still render over twenty fifth, sixth, and seventh-level martial artists helpless? Impossible! It’s too unbelievable! The three girls all perked up their ears, not wanting to miss a single word from the Themis students.
“I didn’t! I’m telling you, there’s something strange about that guy! He used some kind of sorcery that made me lose control of my movements!”
Although Griffiths desperately shouted explanations, insisting that attacking his companions wasn’t his intention, how could the Thamis disciples who hadn’t personally experienced Zhang Wen’s battle techniques possibly believe Griffiths?
“Bastard! Don’t think the same trick will always work!” Seeing Zhang Wen charging back, Griffith also smiled smugly and then shouted with all his might. As he shouted, Griffith’s stance suddenly changed. He swiftly extended his right arm, which had been bent behind him, transforming his thrust into a horizontal slash.
The cunning Griffith thought his sudden change of move would surely catch Zhang Wen off guard. No matter what strange technique Zhang Wen had used earlier to make him lose control of his body, this time he was certain Zhang Wen wouldn’t escape his grasp.
However, when Griffith swung his crystal energy sword at Zhang Wen in a textbook-perfect stance, he was utterly frustrated to find that Zhang Wen’s longsword was once again waiting precisely in his path!
Just as Griffith’s power was about to be unleashed, Zhang Wen’s sword lightly touched the crystal energy sword, and Griffith, like the most dedicated ballet dancer, began to “dance” according to Zhang Wen’s script.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
Amid the crisp sounds of the crystal energy swords clashing, Griffith seemed to become Zhang Wen’s perfect partner. He circled around Zhang Wen, and his full-powered slash not only failed to harm Zhang Wen but also perfectly blocked the four Thamise students who were charging at Zhang Wen. Those four students, eager to make a name for themselves, had rushed in too fast and couldn’t dodge Griffith’s powerful horizontal slash in time.
The clash of crystal energy swords immediately revealed the undeniable gap in strength between Griffith and the other students. The four Thamise students combined couldn’t withstand Griffith’s slash. Their full-powered attacks were effortlessly deflected by Griffith. Even the two who had first clashed with Griffith were injured by his formidable combat energy and lay on the ground, unable to get up for a while.
Then, as if not satisfied, Griffith stumbled into the larger group of students charging at Zhang Wen, causing chaos among them.
“Bastard! Griffith, what the hell are you doing?”
“Griffith, I know you’ve always had it out for us. But starting infighting in front of outsiders, are you insane?” The four Thamise students who had been deflected were the ones most dissatisfied with Griffith. Seeing him commit such unbelievable “low-level mistakes,” they immediately directed their anger at him.
“Exactly. Griffith, you can settle your scores after we deal with that guy,” even some of Griffith’s staunchest supporters urged him.
“I didn’t! I told you, that guy is weird! He’s using some kind of sorcery to make me lose control of my movements!”
Despite Griffith’s desperate attempts to explain that attacking his comrades wasn’t his intention, the Thamise students who hadn’t experienced Zhang Wen’s combat techniques firsthand couldn’t possibly believe him.
“Pah! Griffith, a real man owns up to his actions. Are you too cowardly to admit it?” The Thamise student who had been the first to be hit by Griffith’s horizontal slash struggled to his feet, sneering.
As the first victim, this student knew exactly how much force Griffith’s attack had contained. To him, Griffith’s claim that Zhang Wen could make him lose control of his movements was nothing but an absurd excuse.
“A seventh-level martial artist’s full-powered attack being controlled by a guy who can’t even use combat energy… Griffith, don’t you think that’s insulting our intelligence?” Another injured Thamise student couldn’t hold back his anger and mocked Griffith.
After the two injured students spoke, even the most trusting Thamise students couldn’t help but cast suspicious glances at Griffith. Indeed, Griffith’s explanation sounded far too unbelievable.
“Damn it! Believe it or not, I’m telling the truth! Who the hell knows what kind of sorcery that bastard is using?! Since you all doubt me, fine, I quit today. Whoever wants to deal with him can go ahead!” Griffith, incensed by the others’ suspicion, let out a string of curses and then slammed his crystal energy sword to the ground, effectively quitting.
The two Thamise students who had also been deflected but weren’t injured immediately saw an opportunity. They exchanged glances and then charged at Zhang Wen again.
In the past few minutes, the Thamise students had been busy trying to reason with Griffith, temporarily forgetting about Zhang Wen. When Griffith announced he was quitting and the two comrades charged at Zhang Wen, the group suddenly remembered that their main target was still at large!
Thus, the twenty-something Thamise students snapped out of their confusion and followed the two leading students, charging en masse at Zhang Wen, who was about ten meters away.
Seeing the Thamise students charging at him again, Zhang Wen’s smile widened. While the Thamise students had been busy with their infighting, Zhang Wen had already observed them closely.
Even without the help of the Spring Water Technique’s combat energy, Zhang Wen could sense that if Griffith wasn’t the first to charge in the next wave of attacks, it would definitely be the students Griffith had knocked aside earlier.
Having made this judgment, Zhang Wen deliberately chose his position while retreating. He now stood about ten meters away from the students Griffith had knocked aside, while the main group of Thamise students was much farther away.
This way, Zhang Wen created a time gap for his pursuers. The two Thamise students who reached him first would arrive a second or two before the main group. And that second or two was enough for Zhang Wen to unleash his most skilled sword technique.
As the two Thamise students charged at Zhang Wen, Zhang Wen also moved. Of course, Zhang Wen didn’t flee like most people would in such a situation, nor did he charge forward as he had with Griffith. Instead, he quickly slid to the right, positioning himself at the side of the Thamise students.
As Zhang Wen moved, the Thamise students naturally changed direction. The two students who had been charging side by side now formed a front and back line.
However, the two Thamise students didn’t mind this slight change and continued charging at Zhang Wen. In their eyes, no matter what tricks Zhang Wen had up his sleeve, he couldn’t change the fact that he couldn’t use combat energy. Their sixth-level combat energy might not be as strong as Griffith’s, but it wasn’t just for show!
A distance of about ten meters could be covered in the blink of an eye for a sixth-level martial artist. The two Thamise students indeed reached Zhang Wen in less than a second.

Then, the unfortunate Thamise student was horrified to find that he was indeed experiencing what Griffith had described—his body was out of control!
Damn it! The panicked student desperately tried to regain control of his body, but the more he struggled, the more obvious the loss of control became.
Is that guy really… really using sorcery? As the tragic Thamise student found himself turning 180 degrees and thrusting his sword at his comrade, this was the only thought left in his mind.
The comrade following closely behind was even more panicked when he saw this. After all, he was only a meter or two behind the leading student! At such a short distance, when the leading student suddenly turned and thrust his sword, the following comrade had no time to dodge!
“Ah!” The follower screamed as he saw his comrade’s sword thrusting towards him, but then he was shocked to find that the tragic scene of Thamise students stabbing each other didn’t happen. Just as the sword was about to pierce him, the crystal energy sword, tangled with the longsword, suddenly lifted and tangled with his own crystal energy sword. Then, the follower also understood what Griffith meant by “body out of control.”
The two sixth-level Thamise students spun around like drunkards, eventually turning back and unleashing their most powerful moves at the large group of comrades following them.
Heh! Bunch of idiots! Watching the two who had doubted him end up in the same situation as he had, Griffith couldn’t help but feel a sense of schadenfreude.
The Thamise students who had been charging at Zhang Wen with gritted teeth all stopped in confusion. Meanwhile, the three beautiful “hostages” tied up in the corner of the training hall had long since stopped struggling.
Although the three girls were blindfolded, they could still hear from the Thamise students’ conversations that Zhang Wen was actually the one dominating the situation!
What? After sealing his combat energy, he can still render over twenty fifth, sixth, and seventh-level martial artists helpless? Impossible! Unbelievable! The three girls all perked up their ears, eager not to miss a single word from the Thamise students.
As the first party involved, this Thamis disciple naturally knew best how much power Griffiths’ attack had contained. In his opinion, Griffiths claiming that Zhang Wen had somehow made him lose control of his movements was an absurd excuse.
“Bastard! Don’t think the same trick will always work!” Seeing Zhang Wen charging back, Griffith also smiled smugly and then shouted with all his might. As he shouted, Griffith’s stance suddenly changed. He swiftly extended his right arm, which had been tucked behind him, transforming his thrust into a horizontal slash.
The cunning Griffith thought that his sudden change of move would surely catch Zhang Wen off guard. No matter what strange technique Zhang Wen had used earlier to make him lose control of his body, this time he was certain to have him in his grasp.
However, when Griffith swung his energy sword at Zhang Wen in a textbook-perfect stance, he was utterly frustrated to find that Zhang Wen’s longsword was once again waiting precisely in his path!
Just as Griffith’s power was about to be unleashed, the longsword lightly touched the energy sword, and Griffith, like the most dedicated ballet dancer, began to “dance” according to Zhang Wen’s script.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
In the crisp sounds of the energy swords clashing, Griffith seemed to become Zhang Wen’s perfect partner. He circled around Zhang Wen, and his full-force slash not only failed to harm Zhang Wen but also perfectly blocked the four Thamis students who had charged at Zhang Wen first. Those four students, eager to make a name for themselves, had rushed at Zhang Wen too quickly and couldn’t dodge Griffith’s powerful horizontal slash in time.
When the energy swords clashed, the difference in strength between Griffith and the other students became immediately apparent. The four Thamis students combined couldn’t withstand Griffith’s horizontal slash. Their full-force attacks were effortlessly deflected by Griffith. Even the first two who had engaged Griffith were injured by his powerful combat energy and lay on the ground, unable to get up for a long time.
Then, as if not satisfied, Griffith stumbled into the large group that was charging at Zhang Wen, causing chaos among them.
“Bastard! Griffith, what the hell are you doing?”
“Griffith, I know you’ve always had it in for us. But causing internal strife in front of outsiders, are you out of your mind?” The four Thamis students who had been deflected were the ones who had always been the most dissatisfied with Griffith. Seeing him make such unbelievable “low-level mistakes,” they immediately directed their anger at him.
“Exactly. Griffith, you can settle your scores with him after we deal with that guy,” even those who had always supported Griffith tried to persuade him.
“I didn’t! I told you, that guy is weird! He used some kind of sorcery to make me lose control of my movements!”
Despite Griffith’s desperate attempts to explain that attacking his comrades wasn’t his intention, the Thamis students who hadn’t experienced Zhang Wen’s combat skills firsthand couldn’t possibly believe him.
“Pah! Griffith, a real man should own up to his actions!” The first Thamis student hit by Griffith’s horizontal slash struggled to his feet and sneered.
As the first victim, this Thamis student knew exactly how much force Griffith’s attack had contained. To him, Griffith’s claim that Zhang Wen could make him lose control of his movements was utterly ridiculous.
“A seventh-level martial artist’s full-force attack being controlled by a guy who can’t even use combat energy… Griffith, don’t you think that’s an insult to our intelligence?” Another Thamis student injured by Griffith couldn’t hold back his anger and mocked him.
After the two injured students spoke, even those who had always trusted Griffith couldn’t help but cast doubtful glances at him. Indeed, Griffith’s explanation sounded too far-fetched.
“Damn it! Believe it or not, I’m telling the truth! Who the hell knows what kind of sorcery that bastard is using?! Since you all doubt me, I might as well quit today. Whoever wants to take over, go ahead!” Griffith, infuriated by the others’ suspicion, let out a string of curses and then slammed his energy sword to the ground, effectively quitting.
The two Thamis students who had also been deflected by Griffith but weren’t injured immediately saw an opportunity. They exchanged glances and then charged at Zhang Wen together.
In the past few minutes, the Thamis students had been busy trying to persuade Griffith, temporarily forgetting about Zhang Wen. When Griffith announced he was quitting and the two comrades charged at Zhang Wen, the group suddenly remembered that their main target was still at large!
Thus, the twenty-something Thamis students snapped out of their confusion and followed the two leading students, charging en masse at Zhang Wen, who was about ten meters away.

Even without the help of the Spring Water Technique’s combat energy, Zhang Wen could sense that if Griffith wasn’t the first to charge in the next wave of attacks, it would definitely be the guys who had been knocked back by Griffith’s slash.
Having made this judgment, Zhang Wen deliberately chose his position while retreating. He now stood about ten meters away from the students Griffith had knocked back, but much farther from the main group of Thamis students.
This way, Zhang Wen created a time difference for his pursuers. The two Thamis students who reached him first would arrive a second or two before the main group. And that second or two was enough for Zhang Wen to execute his most skilled sword technique.

Instead, he quickly sidestepped to the right, positioning himself at the side of the group of Thamis students.
As Zhang Wen moved, the Thamis students charging at him naturally changed direction. The two Thamis students who had been charging side by side now found themselves in a single file.
However, the two Thamis students didn’t pay much attention to this minor change and continued charging at Zhang Wen with all their might. In their eyes, no matter what tricks Zhang Wen pulled, he couldn’t change the fact that he couldn’t use combat energy. Their sixth-level combat energy might not be as strong as Griffith’s, but it wasn’t just for show!

As the two injured disciples finished speaking, even the Thamis disciples who had trusted Griffiths the most couldn’t help casting suspicious glances at him. Indeed, Griffiths’ explanation did sound too incredible.
“Damn it! Believe it or not, what I’m saying is the truth! Who the hell knows what kind of witchcraft that bastard used?! Since you all doubt me, I’ll just quit today—let whoever wants to fight go ahead!” Provoked by the others’ doubts, Griffiths became furious. He screamed loudly, a string of curses mixed with swear words pouring out. Then, he slammed his crystal-energy sword onto the ground, actually quitting.
The two Thamis disciples who had also been deflected by Griffiths’ move but hadn’t been injured immediately brightened. They exchanged a glance, then simultaneously shouted and charged toward Zhang Wen again.
“Bastard! Don’t think the same move will always work!” Seeing Zhang Wen charging back, Griffith also smiled smugly and then shouted with all his might. As he shouted, Griffith’s stance suddenly changed. He swiftly extended his right arm, which had been tucked behind him, transforming his thrust into a horizontal slash.
Griffith, thinking himself clever, believed that his sudden change of move would surely catch Zhang Wen off guard. No matter what strange trick Zhang Wen had used earlier to make his body lose control, this time he was certain to have him in his grasp.
However, when Griffith, with a textbook-perfect stance, swung his energy sword at Zhang Wen, he was utterly frustrated to find that Zhang Wen’s longsword was once again waiting right in his path!
Just as Griffith’s power was about to be unleashed, Zhang Wen’s sword lightly touched the energy sword, and Griffith, like the most dedicated ballet dancer, began to “dance” according to Zhang Wen’s script.
Ding! Ding ding ding!
Amidst the crisp sounds of the energy swords clashing, Griffith seemed to become Zhang Wen’s perfect partner. He circled around Zhang Wen, and his full-force slash not only failed to harm Zhang Wen but also perfectly blocked the four Thamis students who were charging at him. Those four students, eager to make a mark, had charged too fast and couldn’t dodge Griffith’s powerful horizontal slash in time.
The clash of energy swords immediately revealed the stark difference in strength between Griffith and the other students. The four Thamis students combined couldn’t withstand Griffith’s slash. Their full-force attacks were effortlessly deflected by Griffith. Even the first two who clashed with Griffith were injured by his powerful combat energy and lay on the ground, unable to get up for a long time.
Then, as if not satisfied, Griffith stumbled into the large group that was charging at Zhang Wen, causing chaos among them.

But causing internal strife in front of outsiders, are you out of your mind?” The four Thamis students who were deflected were the ones most dissatisfied with Griffith. Seeing him commit such unbelievable “low-level mistakes,” they didn’t hesitate to angrily point their fingers at him.
“Right. Griffith, you can settle your scores after dealing with that guy,” even those who usually supported Griffith the most advised him.
“I didn’t! I told you, that guy is weird! He used some kind of sorcery to make me lose control of my actions!”
Despite Griffith’s desperate shouts to explain that attacking his comrades wasn’t his intention, the Thamis students who hadn’t experienced Zhang Wen’s combat skills firsthand couldn’t possibly believe him.
“Pah! Griffith, a real man should own up to his actions!” The Thamis student who was first hit by Griffith’s slash struggled to his feet, sneering as he spat out the words.
As the first victim, this student knew exactly how much force was in Griffith’s attack. To him, Griffith’s claim that Zhang Wen could make him lose control of his actions was nothing but an absurd excuse.
“A seventh-level martial artist’s full-force attack being controlled by a guy who can’t even use combat energy… Griffith, don’t you think saying that is insulting our intelligence?” Another injured Thamis student couldn’t hold back his anger and mocked Griffith.

Thus, the twenty-something Thamis students, as if waking from a dream, followed the two leading students and swarmed towards Zhang Wen, who was about ten meters away.
Seeing the Thamis students charging at him again, Zhang Wen’s lips curled into a wider smile. While the Thamis students were busy with their internal strife, Zhang Wen had already observed them.
Even without the help of the Spring Water Technique’s combat energy, Zhang Wen could sense that if Griffith wasn’t the first to charge in the next wave of attacks, it would definitely be the guys Griffith had slashed away.
After making this judgment, Zhang Wen deliberately chose his position while retreating. He now stood about ten meters away from the students Griffith had slashed, while the main group of Thamis students was much farther away.
This way, Zhang Wen created a time difference for his pursuers. The two Thamis students who reached him first would arrive a second or two before the main group. And that second or two was enough for Zhang Wen to unleash his most skilled sword technique.
As the two Thamis students charged at Zhang Wen, Zhang Wen also took action. Of course, Zhang Wen didn’t turn and flee like most people would in such a situation, nor did he charge forward like he did with Griffith. Instead, he quickly slid to the right, positioning himself at the side of the Thamis students.
As Zhang Wen moved, the Thamis students naturally changed direction. The two students who had been charging side by side now formed a line, one in front of the other.
However, the two Thamis students didn’t mind this small change and continued charging at Zhang Wen with all their might. In their eyes, no matter what tricks Zhang Wen had up his sleeve, he couldn’t change the fact that he couldn’t use combat energy. Their sixth-level combat energy might not be as strong as Griffith’s, but it wasn’t just for show!
A distance of about ten meters could be covered in the blink of an eye for a sixth-level martial artist. The two Thamis students indeed took less than a second to reach Zhang Wen.
The leading Thamis student sneered as he thrust his energy sword at Zhang Wen. But just as he was fantasizing about the cheers he would receive after defeating Zhang Wen, he suddenly realized that Zhang Wen’s longsword had somehow already touched his sword.
Then, the unfortunate Thamis student was horrified to find that he was indeed experiencing what Griffith had described—his body was out of control!
Damn it! The panicked Thamis student desperately tried to regain control of his body. But he soon realized that the more he struggled, the more out of control his body became.
Does that guy really… really know sorcery? As the tragic Thamis student found himself turning 180 degrees and thrusting his energy sword at his comrade, this was the only thought left in his mind.
The comrade following closely behind was even more panicked when he saw this. After all, he was only a meter or two behind the first student! At such a short distance, when the first student suddenly turned and thrust his sword, the following comrade had no time to dodge!
“Ah!” The follower screamed as he saw his comrade’s sword thrusting towards him, but then he was shocked to find that the tragic scene of Thamis students stabbing each other to death didn’t happen. Just as the sword was about to pierce his body, the energy sword entangled with the longsword suddenly lifted, entangling with his own energy sword. Then, the follower also understood what Griffith meant by “body out of control.”
The two sixth-level Thamis students spun around like drunkards, eventually turning around and unleashing their most powerful moves at the large group of comrades following them.
Heh! A bunch of idiots! Seeing the two who had doubted him end up in the same situation as he had, Griffith couldn’t help but feel a sense of schadenfreude.
The Thamis students who had been charging at Zhang Wen with gritted teeth all stopped in their tracks, bewildered. The three beautiful “hostages” tied up in the corner of the training hall had also stopped struggling.
Although the three girls were blindfolded, they could still hear from the Thamis students’ conversation that Zhang Wen was actually the one dominating the situation!
What? After sealing his combat energy, he could still render over twenty fifth, sixth, and seventh-level martial artists helpless? Impossible! Too unbelievable! The three girls all perked up their ears, afraid to miss a single word from the Thamis students.
Thus, more than twenty Thamis disciples suddenly snapped out of their daze and rushed toward Zhang Wen, who stood more than ten meters away, following the two leading disciples.
Watching the Thamis disciples rushing toward him again, Zhang Wen’s lips curled upward into an even wider smile. Long before the Thamis disciples had been busy arguing among themselves, Zhang Wen had already observed them carefully.
Even without the help of Spring Water Battle Energy, Zhang Wen could sense that when the next wave of attacks began, if Griffiths wasn’t the first to charge, then the ones leading the charge would definitely be those who had been thrown back by Griffiths’ sword.
After making this judgment, Zhang Wen deliberately chose his position while retreating. The spot where he now stood was about ten meters away from those thrown back by Griffiths, but significantly farther from the main group of Thamis disciples remaining at a distance.
This created a time difference for his pursuers. The two Thamis disciples rushing toward him would arrive one or two seconds earlier than the main group. And that one or two seconds were already enough for Zhang Wen to unleash his most skilled sword techniques.
After the two Thamis disciples charged forward two or three steps toward Zhang Wen, Zhang Wen also fixed his gaze on his opponents and launched into action. Of course, Zhang Wen didn’t turn and run like most people would in such a situation, nor did he rush forward as he had previously against Griffiths. Instead, he quickly slid sideways a few steps, positioning himself at the flank of the Thamis disciples.
As Zhang Wen moved, the Thamis disciples rushing toward him naturally changed their direction as well. The two Thamis disciples who had originally charged side by side now became one in front of the other.
“Bastard! Don’t think the same trick will always work!” Seeing Zhang Wen charging back, Griffith also smiled smugly and then shouted with all his might. As he shouted, Griffith’s stance suddenly changed. He swiftly extended his right arm, which had been bent behind him, transforming his thrust into a horizontal slash.
The overconfident Griffith believed that his sudden change of move would surely catch Zhang Wen off guard. No matter what strange technique Zhang Wen had used earlier to make him lose control of his body, this time he was certain to have Zhang Wen in his grasp.
However, when Griffith swung his energy sword at Zhang Wen in a textbook-perfect stance, he was utterly frustrated to find that Zhang Wen’s longsword was once again waiting right in his path!
Just as Griffith’s power was about to be unleashed, Zhang Wen’s sword lightly touched the energy sword, and Griffith, like the most dedicated ballet dancer, began to “dance” according to Zhang Wen’s script.
Clang! Clang clang clang!
Amid the crisp sounds of the energy swords clashing, Griffith seemed to become Zhang Wen’s perfect partner. He circled around Zhang Wen, and his full-powered slash not only failed to harm Zhang Wen but also perfectly blocked the four Thymis students who were charging at Zhang Wen. Those four students, eager to make a name for themselves, had rushed forward too quickly and couldn’t dodge Griffith’s powerful horizontal slash in time.
When the energy swords clashed, the difference in strength between Griffith and the other students became immediately apparent. The four Thymis students combined couldn’t withstand Griffith’s slash. Their full-powered attacks were effortlessly deflected by Griffith. In fact, the two who had first clashed with Griffith were injured by his powerful combat energy and lay on the ground, unable to get up for a while.
Then, as if not satisfied, Griffith stumbled into the large group of students who were charging at Zhang Wen, causing chaos among them.
“Bastard! Griffith, what the hell are you doing?”
“Griffith, I know you’ve always had it out for us. But starting infighting in front of outsiders, are you insane?” The four Thymis students who had been deflected were already the most dissatisfied with Griffith. Seeing him make such unbelievable “low-level mistakes,” they immediately directed their anger at him.
“Exactly. Griffith, you can settle your scores with him after we deal with that guy,” even some of Griffith’s staunchest supporters tried to reason with him.
“I didn’t! I told you, that guy is weird! He used some kind of sorcery to make me lose control of my movements!”
Despite Griffith’s desperate attempts to explain that attacking his comrades wasn’t his intention, the Thymis students who hadn’t experienced Zhang Wen’s combat skills firsthand couldn’t possibly believe him.
“Bah! Griffith, a real man owns up to his actions. Are you saying you dare not take responsibility?” The Thymis student who had been first hit by Griffith’s horizontal slash struggled to his feet, sneering as he spoke.
As the first victim, this student knew exactly how much force was behind Griffith’s attack. To him, Griffith’s claim that Zhang Wen could make him lose control of his movements was nothing but an absurd excuse.
“A seventh-level martial artist’s full-powered attack being controlled by a guy who can’t even use combat energy… Griffith, don’t you think that’s an insult to our intelligence?” Another injured Thymis student couldn’t hold back his anger and mocked Griffith.
After the two injured students spoke, even Griffith’s most loyal supporters couldn’t help but cast doubtful glances at him. Indeed, Griffith’s explanation sounded far too unbelievable.
“Damn it! Believe it or not, I’m telling the truth! Who the hell knows what kind of sorcery that bastard used?! Since you all doubt me, fine, I quit today. Whoever wants to take over, go ahead!” Griffith, incensed by the others’ suspicion, let out a string of curses and then slammed his energy sword into the ground, effectively throwing in the towel.
The two Thymis students who had also been deflected but weren’t injured immediately saw an opportunity. They exchanged glances and then charged at Zhang Wen again.
In the past few minutes, the Thymis students had been busy trying to reason with Griffith, temporarily forgetting about Zhang Wen. When Griffith announced he was quitting and the two comrades charged at Zhang Wen, the group suddenly remembered that their main target was still at large!
Thus, the twenty-something Thymis students snapped out of their confusion and followed the two leading students, charging en masse at Zhang Wen, who was about ten meters away.
Seeing the Thymis students charging at him again, Zhang Wen’s smile widened. While the Thymis students had been busy with their infighting, Zhang Wen had already observed them closely.
Even without the help of the Spring Water Technique’s combat energy, Zhang Wen could sense that if Griffith wasn’t the first to charge in the next wave of attacks, it would definitely be the students Griffith had knocked back earlier.
Having made this judgment, Zhang Wen deliberately chose his position while retreating. He now stood about ten meters away from the students Griffith had knocked back, while the main group of Thymis students was much farther away.
This way, Zhang Wen created a time gap for his pursuers. The two Thymis students who reached him first would arrive a second or two before the main group. And that second or two was all Zhang Wen needed to unleash his most skilled sword techniques.
As the two Thymis students charged at Zhang Wen, Zhang Wen also took action. Instead of fleeing like most people would in such a situation or charging forward like he had with Griffith, Zhang Wen quickly sidestepped to the right, positioning himself on the flank of the Thymis students.
As Zhang Wen moved, the Thymis students naturally changed direction. The two students who had been charging side by side now found themselves in a staggered formation.
However, the two Thymis students didn’t pay much attention to this minor change and continued charging at Zhang Wen. In their eyes, no matter what tricks Zhang Wen pulled, he couldn’t change the fact that he couldn’t use combat energy. Their sixth-level combat energy might not be as strong as Griffith’s, but it wasn’t just for show!
A distance of about ten meters could be covered in the blink of an eye for a sixth-level martial artist. The two Thymis students indeed reached Zhang Wen in less than a second.
The leading Thymis student smirked as he thrust his energy sword at Zhang Wen. But just as he was fantasizing about the cheers he would receive after defeating Zhang Wen, he suddenly noticed that Zhang Wen’s longsword had somehow already touched his sword.
Then, the unfortunate Thymis student was horrified to find that he was indeed experiencing what Griffith had described—his body was out of control!
Damn it! The panicked student desperately tried to regain control of his body, but the more he struggled, the more out of control he became.
Does that guy really… really know sorcery? As the tragic Thymis student realized he had turned 180 degrees and was now thrusting his sword at his comrade, this was the only thought left in his mind.
The comrade following closely behind was even more panicked when he saw this. After all, he was only a meter or two behind the leading student! At such a short distance, when the leading student suddenly turned and thrust his sword, the follower had no time to dodge!
“Ah!” The follower let out a scream as he saw his comrade’s sword thrusting toward him, but then he was shocked to find that the tragic scene of Thymis students stabbing each other didn’t happen. Just as the sword was about to pierce his body, the energy sword tangled with the longsword suddenly lifted and tangled with his own energy sword. Then, the follower also understood what Griffith had meant by “body out of control.”
The two sixth-level Thymis students spun around like drunkards, eventually turning back and unleashing their most powerful moves at the large group of students following them.
Heh! A bunch of idiots! Seeing the two who had doubted him end up in the same situation as he had, Griffith couldn’t help but feel a sense of schadenfreude.
The Thymis students who had been charging at Zhang Wen with gritted teeth all stopped in their tracks, bewildered. Meanwhile, the three beautiful “hostages” tied up in the corner of the training hall had long since stopped struggling.
Although the three girls were blindfolded, they could still hear from the Thymis students’ conversations that Zhang Wen was actually the one dominating the situation!
What? After sealing his combat energy, he could still render over twenty fifth, sixth, and seventh-level martial artists helpless? Impossible! This is unbelievable! The three girls all perked up their ears, eager not to miss a single word from the Thymis students.
A distance of about ten meters was nothing for a sixth-rank martial artist to cover in the blink of an eye. The two Thamis disciples indeed reached Zhang Wen in less than a second.
The Thamis disciple in front sneered and aimed his crystal-energy sword at Zhang Wen for a thrust. However, just as he was imagining the scene of receiving everyone’s cheers after defeating Zhang Wen, he suddenly realized that Zhang Wen’s sword had somehow already touched his blade.
Then, this unfortunate Thamis disciple was horrified to discover that he had indeed encountered the situation Griffiths had described! His body had lost control!
Damn it! The panicked Thamis disciple desperately exerted effort, trying to regain control of his body. Unfortunately, he soon realized again that the harder he tried, the more obvious his loss of control became!
Could that guy really be using sorcery? As this tragic Thamis disciple realized that he had actually turned 180 degrees and was thrusting his crystal-energy sword toward his companion, his mind was left with only this single thought.
The companion following closely behind the tragic Thamis disciple, upon seeing this scene, naturally became even more flustered. After all, there was only a distance of one or two meters between him and the disciple in front! At such a short distance, with the front Thamis disciple suddenly turning his sword around for a strike, the follower behind had practically no time to dodge!
“Bastard! Don’t think the same trick will always work!” Seeing Zhang Wen charging back, Griffith smirked with satisfaction and then shouted with all his might. As he shouted, Griffith’s stance suddenly changed. He swiftly extended his right arm, which had been bent behind him, transforming his thrust into a horizontal slash.
The overconfident Griffith believed that his sudden change of move would surely catch Zhang Wen off guard. No matter what strange technique Zhang Wen had used earlier to make him lose control of his body, this time he was certain Zhang Wen wouldn’t escape his grasp.
However, as Griffith swung his energy sword at Zhang Wen in a textbook-perfect stance, he was utterly frustrated to find that Zhang Wen’s longsword was once again waiting precisely in his path!
Just as Griffith’s power was about to be unleashed, Zhang Wen’s sword lightly touched the energy sword, and Griffith, like the most dedicated ballet dancer, began to “dance” according to Zhang Wen’s script.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
In the crisp sounds of the energy swords clashing, Griffith seemed to become Zhang Wen’s perfect partner. He circled around Zhang Wen, and his full-force slash not only failed to harm Zhang Wen but also perfectly blocked the four Thamis students who had charged at Zhang Wen first. Those four students, eager to make a name for themselves, had rushed too fast and couldn’t dodge Griffith’s powerful horizontal slash in time.
When the energy swords clashed, the difference in strength between Griffith and the other students became immediately apparent. The four Thamis students combined couldn’t withstand Griffith’s slash. Their full-force attacks were effortlessly deflected by Griffith. Even the two who had first clashed with Griffith were injured by his powerful combat energy and lay on the ground, unable to get up for a long time.
Then, as if not satisfied, Griffith stumbled into the large group of students who were charging at Zhang Wen, causing chaos among them.
“Bastard! Griffith, what the hell are you doing?”
“Griffith, I know you’ve always disliked us. But starting a fight in front of outsiders, are you insane?” The four Thamis students who had been deflected were already the most dissatisfied with Griffith. Seeing him make such unbelievable “low-level mistakes,” they didn’t hesitate to angrily turn their accusations toward Griffith.
“Exactly. Griffith, you can settle your scores with him after we deal with that guy,” even some of Griffith’s staunchest supporters tried to reason with him.
“I didn’t! I told you, that guy is weird! He used some kind of sorcery to make me lose control of my actions!”
Despite Griffith’s desperate attempts to explain that attacking his comrades wasn’t his intention, the Thamis students who hadn’t experienced Zhang Wen’s combat skills firsthand couldn’t possibly believe him.
“Pah! Griffith, a real man should own up to his actions!” The Thamis student who had been the first to be hit by Griffith’s horizontal slash struggled to his feet and sneered.
As the first victim, this student knew exactly how much force Griffith’s attack had contained. To him, Griffith’s claim that Zhang Wen could make him lose control of his actions was nothing but an absurd excuse.
“A seventh-level combatant’s full-force attack being controlled by a guy who can’t even use combat energy… Griffith, don’t you think that’s an insult to our intelligence?” Another injured Thamis student couldn’t hold back his anger and mocked Griffith.
After the two injured students spoke, even the most trusting Thamis students couldn’t help but cast doubtful glances at Griffith. Indeed, Griffith’s explanation sounded too far-fetched.
“Damn it! Believe it or not, I’m telling the truth! Who the hell knows what kind of sorcery that guy used?! Since you all doubt me, I might as well quit today. Whoever wants to take over, go ahead!” Griffith, infuriated by the others’ suspicions, let out a string of curses and then slammed his energy sword to the ground, effectively quitting.
The two Thamis students who had also been deflected but weren’t injured immediately saw an opportunity. They exchanged glances and then charged at Zhang Wen again.
In the past few minutes, the Thamis students had been busy trying to reason with Griffith, temporarily forgetting about Zhang Wen. When Griffith announced he was quitting and the two comrades charged at Zhang Wen, the group suddenly remembered that their main target was still at large!
Thus, the twenty-something Thamis students, as if waking from a dream, followed the two leading students and swarmed toward Zhang Wen, who was about ten meters away.
Seeing the Thamis students charging at him again, Zhang Wen’s smile widened. While the Thamis students had been busy with their internal conflict, Zhang Wen had already observed them closely.
Even without the help of the Spring Water Technique’s combat energy, Zhang Wen could sense that if Griffith wasn’t the first to charge in the next wave of attacks, it would definitely be the students Griffith had knocked away.
After making this judgment, Zhang Wen deliberately chose his position while retreating. He now stood about ten meters away from the students Griffith had knocked away, but much farther from the main group of Thamis students.
This way, Zhang Wen created a time difference for his pursuers. The two Thamis students who reached him first would arrive a second or two before the main group. And that second or two was enough for Zhang Wen to execute his most skilled sword technique.
As the two Thamis students charged at Zhang Wen, Zhang Wen kept his eyes on his opponents and took action. Of course, Zhang Wen didn’t turn and run like most people would in such a situation, nor did he charge forward like he had with Griffith. Instead, he quickly slid to the right, positioning himself at the side of the Thamis students.
As Zhang Wen moved, the Thamis students naturally changed direction. The two students who had been charging side by side now formed a line, one in front of the other.
However, the two Thamis students didn’t mind this small change and continued to charge at Zhang Wen with all their might. In their view, no matter what tricks Zhang Wen pulled, he couldn’t change the fact that he couldn’t use combat energy. Their sixth-level combat energy might not be as strong as Griffith’s, but it wasn’t just for show!
A distance of about ten meters could be crossed in the blink of an eye for a sixth-level combatant. The two Thamis students indeed reached Zhang Wen in less than a second.
The leading Thamis student sneered as he thrust his energy sword at Zhang Wen. But just as he was fantasizing about the cheers he would receive after defeating Zhang Wen, he suddenly realized that Zhang Wen’s longsword had somehow already touched his sword.
Then, the unfortunate Thamis student was horrified to find that he was indeed experiencing what Griffith had described—his body was out of control!
Damn it! The panicked Thamis student desperately tried to regain control of his body. But he soon realized that the harder he tried, the more out of control his body became.
Does that guy really… really know sorcery? As the tragic Thamis student found himself turning 180 degrees and thrusting his energy sword at his comrade, this was the only thought left in his mind.
The comrade following closely behind was even more panicked when he saw this. After all, he was only a meter or two behind the leading student! At such a short distance, when the leading student suddenly turned and thrust his sword, the follower had no time to dodge!
“Ah!” The follower screamed as he saw his comrade’s sword thrusting toward him, but then he was shocked to find that the tragic scene of Thamis students stabbing each other didn’t happen. Just as the sword was about to pierce his body, the energy sword, tangled with the longsword, suddenly lifted and tangled with his own energy sword. Then, the follower also understood what Griffith meant by “body out of control.”
The two sixth-level Thamis students spun around like drunkards, eventually turning back and unleashing their most powerful moves on the large group of comrades following them.
Heh! What a bunch of fools! Seeing the two who had doubted him end up in the same situation as he had, Griffith couldn’t help but feel a sense of schadenfreude.
The Thamis students who had been charging at Zhang Wen with gritted teeth all stopped in confusion. Meanwhile, the three beautiful “hostages” tied up in the corner of the training hall had long since stopped struggling.
Although the three girls were blindfolded, they could still hear from the Thamis students’ conversations that Zhang Wen was actually the one dominating the situation!
What? After sealing his combat energy, he could still render over twenty fifth, sixth, and seventh-level combatants helpless? Impossible! This is unbelievable! The three girls all perked up their ears, eager not to miss a single word from the Thamis students.
The two sixth-rank Thamis disciples spun together like drunkards, finally turning around and charging headlong into the large group of followers behind them with their most powerful techniques.
Heh! A bunch of idiots! Witnessing the two who had doubted him suffer the same fate as himself earlier, Griffiths couldn’t help but feel a sense of schadenfreude welling up inside him.
The Thamis disciples who had originally charged at Zhang Wen with gritted teeth all stopped in their tracks, bewildered. Meanwhile, the three beautiful young ladies tied up in the corner of the training hall had long since ceased their struggles.
Although the three girls had their eyes blindfolded, this didn’t prevent them from overhearing from the Thamis disciples’ conversation that the person currently gaining the upper hand was actually Zhang Wen!
What? After sealing his battle energy, he could still leave more than twenty martial artists of fifth, sixth, and seventh ranks helpless? Impossible! It’s too incredible! All three girls struck cute poses, perking their ears up high, afraid of missing even a single word spoken by the Thamis disciples.
