Chapter 304 North Court Team 2! (3rd update)

...Heavenly Position Academy, Vice Dean’s Office.

"Ling Feng is dead?"

Tong Chengtai clenched the death list in his hand, his eyelid twitching wildly.

Of the ten geniuses who went to the Wind and Thunder Sword Tower this time, two had died, and one of them was remarkably Ling Feng!

Tong Chengtai’s expression immediately darkened.

This kid was protected by Yan Cangtian. If Yan Cangtian knew Ling Feng was dead, it would be...

Thinking of Yan Cangtian’s terrifying strength, beads of sweat started forming on Tong Chengtai’s forehead.

"Of all people, it had to be this Little Ancestor who died!"

Tong Chengtai’s expression was as dark as water, his face blacker than the bottom of a pot.

A Yellow Character Disciple is still just a Yellow Character Disciple, overestimating himself, insisting on going to the Wind and Thunder Sword Tower. Not only did he fail to gain any opportunities, but he also lost his life for nothing!

Tong Chengtai looked at the death list in his hand and sighed deeply.

"Forget it, forget it. If that Old Madman Yan Cangtian really wants to kill me to avenge him, then it’s just bad luck for me, Tong Chengtai!"

Tong Chengtai gave a bitter smile. Given Yan Cangtian’s personality, even if he hid with the dean, Yan Cangtian probably wouldn’t spare the dean any face either.

An undeserved disaster!

On the other side, on the Sword Fighting Platform of the East Courtyard Sword Team.

The match between North Court Team 2 and East Courtyard Sword Team had already begun.

Ling Feng "died." Although the East Courtyard Sword Team members were all in a very heavy-hearted mood, the match with North Court Team 2 couldn’t be canceled.

Moreover, Lee Bufan replaced Ling Feng. At present, Lee Bufan’s strength seemed to be no less than Ling Feng’s. Perhaps Lee Bufan could also help the East Courtyard Sword Team break through in this year’s Five Academies Sword Fighting competition.

At least, no longer the bottom of the Five Academies!

Since it was a match between the East Courtyard and North Courtyard Sword Teams, many students had come to watch upon hearing the news, almost filling the entire venue.

Outside the Sword Fighting Platform, the crowd was bustling with noise, packed with people.

"I heard that this year the East Courtyard Sword Team’s Goo Tengfeng has ambition. He’s invited other academies’ second teams to train new members so early."

"Tch, you probably don’t know yet that the East Courtyard has produced a very formidable Yellow Character Disciple named Ling Feng. Goo Tengfeng seems to want to quickly train that kid into a strong member!"

"Hmph! What Ling Feng? There’s no such person as Ling Feng in the Heavenly Position Academy anymore!"

A nearby A-class Disciple shouted loudly, "Our North Courtyard’s Brother Lin Xiu Lin went to the Wind and Thunder Sword Tower for trials with Ling Feng. That kid Ling Feng never came out after entering the Wind and Thunder Sword Tower. Now the death list is confirmed. In a few days, the whole academy will probably know that Ling Feng is dead!"

"What?" A cross-eyed student blinked rapidly, "No way? That kid was so impressive as soon as he arrived at the Heavenly Position Academy. I thought he’d become someone like Goo Tengfeng in the future."

"Come off it, no matter how talented, his life is gone. What’s the use?"

"That’s true, Martial Artists wrest their lives from the heavens. One misstep, and their life is gone. That kid just had bad luck!"

Amidst the discussions, the five members from both the East Courtyard Sword Team and North Court Team 2 had already entered the Sword Fighting Platform.

The Dragon Slayer Flag of the East Courtyard Sword Team and the Tengshe Flag of the North Courtyard Sword Team were each placed, signifying the start of the match.

"Come on!"

Gong Cheng glanced at the four team members behind him and at Lee Bufan, who stood nearby with a cold expression, and couldn’t help but sigh.

Lee Bufan was, indeed, strong, but unfortunately, he had no sense of cooperation with the team members whatsoever.

This didn’t matter much when facing ordinary teams, but compared with other strong teams, problems would surface.

After all, those who could form a Sword Team were the elites among the academy members. Having forty or even fifty meridians was not uncommon.

"Come on!"

Lin Mochen, Ye Nanfeng, and Xue Xiaolin all exchanged serious glances before returning to their positions.

Xue Xiaolin withdrew to the Flag Guarding Zone, while Ye Nanfeng, Lin Mochen, and Lee Bufan took charge of the Attack and Defense Zone, seeking opportunities to break through while defending against the opponent’s invasion.

As for Gong Cheng, he coordinated everything. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by ɴovel(ꜰ)ɪre.nᴇt

Goo Tengfeng, as the captain of the East Courtyard Sword Team, stood in the observation zone with a very solemn expression.

Lee Bufan, as a newcomer, might not be any weaker than Ling Feng in terms of strength, but his team-awareness was too weak.

Team-based sword-fighting competitions have never been about a solitary battle.

"What a pity that Ling Feng is already..."

Goo Tengfeng sighed. If Ling Feng and Lee Bufan joined the Sword Team together, along with him, Gong Cheng, and Xue Xiaolin...

Such a lineup, though not the strongest, would definitely be several times better than the current lineup.

On the Sword Fighting Platform.

"Bufan, in a moment, make sure to defend against that guy holding the Heavy Sword. I suspect he’s an aggressive attacker. Don’t let him break through our defense!"

Gong Cheng carefully conveyed the battle strategy to Lee Bufan.

A hint of disdain flashed in Lee Bufan’s eyes. "No matter who, just break through, right?"

"This..." Gong Cheng’s expression changed slightly, "You’re underestimating North Court Team 2 too much. Their captain Yang Zhan is remarkably powerful, with fifty-two meridians! Moreover, his ability to adapt is extremely strong."

"Is that so?" Lee Bufan didn’t reply and kept his eyes on the opponent’s Tengshe Battle Flag, thinking to himself, cutting down a battle flag only takes an instant!

"Alright, since both sides are ready, the sword-fighting match officially begins!"

The referee Elder gave an order, then immediately flew up and jumped off the Sword Fighting Platform.

On the Sword Fighting Platform, as long as you didn’t kill anyone, there were no other rules.

"Whoosh!"

As soon as the match began, Lee Bufan completely ignored Gong Cheng’s tactics and directly used his movement technique, rushing alone into the opponent’s Attack and Defense Zone.

"Not good!"

"It’s over!"

Gong Cheng and Goo Tengfeng both felt their eyelids twitch simultaneously. Lee Bufan was too reckless!

"Hmph, another newbie!"

Yang Zhan, captain of North Court Team 2, smirked while turning to the flag-guarding region to address a teammate, "Hei Feng, unleash your Deceleration Field and let that newbie see what he’s up against."

"Yes, captain!"

Hei Feng smirked coldly, performed a peculiar hand formation, and an invisible ripple spread out.

Lee Bufan charged into the opponent’s Attack and Defense Zone, ready to bypass their defense with the speed of a Thunderbolt. However, he suddenly noticed an invisible pressure sweeping from all sides. The ground beneath him felt like a swamp, offering no footing.

His speed dramatically decreased!

"Come back fast!"

Gong Cheng shouted, rushing over to support Lee Bufan, while Lin Mochen and Ye Nanfeng quickly drew their long swords, cautiously defending.

"Hmph, too late!"

Yang Zhan waved his hand to deploy a team member to intercept Gong Cheng, then personally headed towards Lee Bufan.

"Little Sword God Lee Bufan? In solo combat, you might be formidable, but in Sword Team battles, there’s a code for survival that you’re too inexperienced for!"

Yang Zhan snorted coldly, wielding his Great Sword to ruthlessly slash at Lee Bufan, who was struggling within the Deceleration Field.
