Chapter 567 – The Power Gap

“Shall we begin?”

Ye Kai held his dual blades, head slightly lowered, staring defiantly at Ling Mo.

His body was slightly turned to one side, with the heel of one foot lifted.

This posture made him look like an agile leopard, ready to pounce on its prey at any moment.

An aura of oppression emanated from him, and his eyes, which already looked fierce, now seemed filled with killing intent.

“Look at Ye Kai, he’s ready!” someone shouted.

The members of the F Team were quite familiar with Ye Kai. The moment they saw his stance, they knew he was about to make a move.

Among so many people, there were quite a few who used blades, but the only one who could truly wield them to intimidate others was Ye Kai.

Ye Kai may not be the strongest, but he was definitely one of the most distinctive, whether in terms of personality or fighting style.

“You ready?” Ling Mo glanced at Ye Kai and asked.

“Yep. Aren’t you going to get ready?” Ye Kai frowned and shot back.

Ling Mo hadn’t budged, showed no signs of drawing any weapon, or making any defensive moves.

He was still holding that piece of paper!

So nonchalant?!

Not only Ye Kai asked, but others also looked at Ling Mo in bewilderment.

Even if you’re very confident, this isn’t the time to be reckless… Doesn’t he realize how much is at stake?

If he loses, he’ll have to slink away in disgrace…

But at this moment, no one reminded Ling Mo, and Ling Mo seemed a bit confused as he said, “Ready? Oh… no worries, whenever you’re ready, you can come at me.”

“…”

“Wow, that’s super confident!”

“Does he really not need to prepare? Anytime? Impressive!”

“Arrogant!” Ye Kai was furious. This guy didn’t appear to be boastful, even seemed quite gentle, but his words were more infuriating with each sentence, incredibly arrogant!

Being provoked by Ling Mo, Ye Kai didn’t bother with more words. With a tap of his toes, he shot out like a bullet.

As he charged, the dual Sharp Knives in his hands each twirled, creating two knife flowers.

In a split second, a circle of cold light surrounded Ye Kai, as if countless knife flowers were blooming continuously in his hands.

Although it looked dazzling, it was extremely lethal.

A meat grinder! Even those standing slightly closer to him quickly retreated, fearing they might get caught in the cold light.

“So fast!”

“The speed of his hands is off the charts!”

Ye Kai’s attack was wild! Frenzied! Just like him, it looked extremely domineering!

Being able to instantly increase his hand speed to such a degree in such a short time was due not only to his Superpower but also to relentless practice.

“Using this move right at the start!?” someone exclaimed suddenly.

“You’ve seen it?”

“Who? Who has seen it?” someone looked around searchingly.

“One of Ye Kai’s signature attack styles, both offensive and defensive, perfectly aligning with his philosophy that the best defense is a good offense,” the initial speaker explained.

“Wow… that’s incredible! How can you dodge that here?”

Indeed, Ye Kai used the move very appropriately.

With such a small area, where could Ling Mo possibly dodge to?

No matter what evasive methods Ling Mo had, facing such a fierce attack, he would likely end up in a sorry state.

It seemed that while Ye Kai was provoking Ling Mo, he wasn’t brainless. By using one of his strong moves right away, even if he couldn’t take Ling Mo down in one go, he could at least suppress him significantly.

At this moment, not many people had confidence in Ling Mo. If they put themselves in his shoes, they felt standing firm was impossible.

But running around in defeat would indeed be quite embarrassing…

Seeing Ling Mo not dodging, Ye Kai increased the speed of his attacks, turning into a human meat grinder moving towards Ling Mo.

Two meters!

One meter!

Just as Ling Mo was about to be engulfed by the blade light, everyone’s hearts jumped to their throats.

“Why isn’t he dodging?” Gu Shuangshuang nervously gripped her clothes, shouting in her heart.

Zhang Xincheng’s face remained expressionless, but a closer look would reveal a slight fluctuation in his gaze.

Skinny Monkey had been so tense that his whole body was tight, as if he himself were about to be struck.

“He can’t dodge it…” most people thought in their hearts.

If Ling Mo had prepared to dodge from the beginning, he would have had a chance to avoid the sharp edge. But now, he could only take it head-on…

“Nothing special…”

“Weren’t they saying he was really strong? What a joke!”

“But he really is strong…” someone quietly defended.

Even those who had great confidence in Ling Mo’s strength couldn’t help but waver at this moment.

He must have underestimated the opponent… That’s the only reasonable explanation.

Unfortunately, the opponent was Ye Kai.

Ye Kai wouldn’t hold back just because his opponent didn’t react. On the contrary, he became even more frenzied.

From his fierce and rapid attack, it was clear he intended to take down Ling Mo directly!

“Ah!”

At the moment the blade light enveloped Ling Mo, Gu Shuangshuang couldn’t help but scream.

Boom!

The blade light didn’t stop because of the scream. It completely wrapped around Ling Mo.

After the muffled sound, the room fell into a deep silence.

Almost everyone could foresee a scene of blood splattering everywhere…

Even those who had been making excuses for Ling Mo just moments ago were now completely crestfallen.

He really didn’t plan to dodge… not even to put up a defense.

Was his supposed strength all a bluff? Were those feats not really his?

For a moment, everyone was filled with doubt about Ling Mo.

A few people who had been watching coldly from the sidelines sneered and turned to leave the room.

The outcome was decided; there was no need to watch any longer.

This wasn’t even a battle; it was simply Ye Kai crushing a bug. The only amusing part was the big talk this bug had made before.

Though others still focused on the blade light, they no longer expected a miracle.

Most had already started thinking about the consequences, pondering if Ye Kai’s attack was too heavy. If Ling Mo were seriously injured or even fatally wounded… what then?

Yuwen Xuan from Falcon Second Camp wasn’t the type to be easily trifled with either…

In the deathly silent and eerie atmosphere, more people began to make their way towards the door.

When excitement turns into trouble, everyone becomes eager to distance themselves and clear any association…

Skinny Monkey hesitated for a moment and looked at Zhang Xincheng and Gu Shuangshuang beside him.

Gu Shuangshuang looked deeply worried, extremely tense, while Zhang Xincheng glanced at him and said, “Let’s wait and see.”

“Oh… okay.” Skinny Monkey blushed slightly; he had hoped to gauge their reactions and leave along with them.

“Clang!”

Suddenly, a sharp sound echoed through the room.

One person who had reached the doorway turned back, their jaw dropping in shock at the sight before them.

The mass of blade light had vanished, and Ye Kai stood still, frozen as if someone had cast a spell on him, holding his twin blades aloft.

His face was flushed red, his eyes bloodshot, staring fixedly at Ling Mo, who was less than half a meter away.

The person everyone assumed had been splattered across the room with blood was still standing there, completely unscathed. His posture, position, and even his expression hadn’t changed at all!

He hadn’t moved an inch!

“What’s going on?!”

“How is this happening?”

The crowd erupted once more into a frenzy.

How could a situation like this occur? Ye Kai had clearly had the upper hand just moments ago!

“You…” Ye Kai also looked incredulous. As the person directly involved, he alone understood how powerless he felt.

Ling Mo was right in front of him, yet no matter how he swung his blades, he couldn’t touch him!

There’s no feeling more maddening than this! He hadn’t resisted, hadn’t dodged, standing there like a piece of meat, but no matter how he tried, he couldn’t lay a single blow on him!

In those brief seconds, Ye Kai had attacked Ling Mo no less than fifty times, but not once did he land a hit.

“Again!” Ye Kai roared in fury and, amid the astonished and puzzled gazes of the crowd, lunged at Ling Mo once more in a frenzy.

This time, everyone saw it clearly…

Ye Kai’s frenzied slashes were intercepted by something just shy of half a meter from Ling Mo.

Moreover, this time, his movements began to show errors, and his wrists seemed to tremble.

Ye Kai was acutely aware of these changes; he realized this was Ling Mo’s counterattack.

This counterattack only took effect when he attacked, so he was essentially being harmed by his own force.

However, this feeling only made him feel more powerless…

Without even needing to actively strike, Ling Mo managed to make Ye Kai’s arms ache and his body feel torn in various places.

The disparity in their power was utterly despairing…
