Of course, Apache wasn't going there to earn some money. Instead, he was going there for one thing: the Anti-Smuggling Squad was allowed to kill anyone in a fight, regardless of who the opponent was. The Confederation was very strict with its crackdown on smuggling, and anyone who dared to do it was a fugitive.
It was perfect for an Apache.
After more than a year of training, he was no longer a normal student. Even Hu Yangxuan … had he ever killed anyone?
Too bad.
No wonder he was so relaxed, he was just playing with a kid.
In other words, it was impossible for him to defeat Apache without overwhelming his Soul Energy.
In his opinion, he would be fine even if he were to leave the last five matches to Apache. Unfortunately, there were too many rules in the school.
The score was now four to four.
The fifth match, Wang Ben VS Cao Yi.
Samantha and Martyrus's hearts were in their throats. The outcome of this match was about to be decided. It was obvious that once they entered the final match, they would have no chance of winning against Apache. Even if Ma Xiaoru went up, it would be the same.
Ma Xiaoru's Soul Energy was not much stronger than Cao Yi's, and her battle experience and ruthlessness were far behind Cao Yi's, not to mention that Ma Xiaoru was not allowed to participate in the match. Wang Tong, I admit that Wang Tong is good, but his opponent is too scary.
It was not a game between an adult and a kid.
"Wang Ben, you have to win this match!" Samantha patted Wang Ben's shoulder.
Wang Ben had been waiting for this match, and he was looking forward to it. Cao Yi was the same Skyscraper who had fought against Einherjar Wannabe some time ago, and Einherjar Wannabe had defeated him with the Fist of the Racing Tiger. Wang Ben wanted to know which one was stronger, his Fist of the Racing Tiger or Einherjar Wannabe's Fist of the Racing Tiger!
Cao Yi was about to go on stage, but he called Martyrus over. Martyrus whispered a few words in Cao Yi's ear.
"Sir, I don't think this is a good idea."
"This is a matter of life and death for our school, so do as I say!" Martyrus's decision was firm.
Cao Yi could only nod. Everyone knew that Headmaster Martyrus was sometimes very easy to talk to and was especially kind to others, but no one could change his decision.
Even Apache, who was hard to tame, would obediently return to school as long as Martyrus summoned it. It could be seen that Martyrus treated his students with both kindness and authority.
Although Cao Yi felt that this wasn't a good idea, he was still willing to listen to the principal's opinion because he really didn't have the confidence to defeat Wang Ben.
"It's up to you now!" Hu Yangxuan was aware of the gap between Ayrlarng and Wang Ben, and he knew that Ayrlarng would be doomed if Wang Ben couldn't win this round. Although Hu Yangxuan had a good impression of Wang Tong, he knew that Wang Tong was only on par with Hu Yangxuan in terms of battle experience. Obviously, none of the other candidates were as powerful as the Fourth Prince.
Only those who weren't human could ignore the rules.
Ma Xiaoru and Hu Yangxuan started to get nervous. If Wang Ben lost, they would have to transfer to Bernabeu, which wasn't their original intention. They had formed a circle of friends during their time in Ayrlarng, and they had gotten used to the life in Ayrlarng. They had fallen in love with Ayrlarng, and under the influence of Samantha, they had developed a sense of belonging to Ayrlarng. Therefore, they couldn't accept going to Bernabeu right now.
Samantha also sensed that something was amiss, and she wondered what Martyrus was going to do next.
Wang Ben was very confident, and he had been waiting for this match for a long time. Moreover, he hadn't used up any of his energy in the previous matches, and he was eager to have a good fight with Cao Yi.
The match began.
Cao Yi took out his dual blades, and he knew that he couldn't afford to be careless when facing the user of the Fist of the Racing Tiger. Furthermore, this wasn't a casual match, and Cao Yi knew that Bernabeu would be doomed if he lost this match. This was unacceptable.
"I can't lose!"
Cao Yi's eyes shone brightly. This was exactly what Wang Ben wanted.
"Come on, let's fight! Show me your true strength! Only then will you know the difference between you and Einherjar Wannabe!"
The match began, and Wang Ben was ready to strike. He thought that Cao Yi would launch a strong attack, but Cao Yi didn't seem to have any intention of attacking.
Samantha instantly knew what Martyrus's strategy was. In the first match, Cao Yi had not only shown his strength, but he had also demonstrated his incredible movement skills, especially his terrifying jumping ability. Wang Ben's only weakness was his agility. Obviously, he wanted to stall for time until the end of the match!
Martyrus didn't want a victory, he wanted a draw!
As long as he could secure a draw, Apache would be the one to win the last match.
Samantha's heart sank. She didn't expect Martyrus to use such a cunning strategy, but she knew that she would do the same if she was in his shoes.
If it was possible, who wouldn't want to fight a fair and square battle? However, the reason why humans were still alive was because of their strength.
Wang Ben also felt it. If he was the one taking the initiative to attack, his opponent would never have the chance to do so!
Even Apache, who was sitting with his legs crossed, couldn't help but shake his head. How wonderful would it be if he was the one in charge of this battle? It was simply a waste of a chance.
Cao Yi was the strongest among the students from Ayrlarng, and he was able to withstand a lot of attacks. Therefore, Cao Yi didn't need to hold back. Unfortunately, the principal was going to win.
Cao Yi was one of the more special ones among the juniors. He graduated from a relatively poor middle school. His body test did not show any talent, and his exam results were not outstanding. To be honest, a person like him could only graduate from Bernabeu. However, he was discovered by Martyrus. He could have been buried for the rest of his life, but he met a talent scout. Cao Yi's potential was completely unearthed, and the martial arts that Martyrus had spent a lot of effort to get his hands on were effective on Cao Yi. Not everyone could pass the A-level survival test.
Cao Yi's problem was that he was too ordinary and easily overlooked, while Apache's problem was that he stirred up trouble every day. Checking the files, he definitely had a "bad record". But it was because of this that he was admitted into the school by Matt Astor, who tolerated his various shortcomings. Therefore, Apache did not care about anyone, but he had to give face to the headmaster.
Apache didn't care about anything, but he couldn't stand the kindness of others, and Martyrus's kindness was something he couldn't refuse.
Cao Yi faithfully carried out Martyrus's plan, using his extraordinary athletic ability to stall for time. If it was a slightly weaker opponent, facing Wang Ben's attacks, they would not be able to stall for time. However, Cao Yi's strength was indeed enough to fight Wang Ben, and he had made up his mind to disregard his face. Fighting and running, Wang Ben really could not do anything to him.
Although Wang Ben was strong, his Fist of the Racing Tiger was only at the level of Mind-strength, and it was impossible for him to break through Cao Yi's defense with just one punch. Furthermore, Cao Yi's dual blades were very sharp, and it would be a headache for an opponent like Cao Yi to go back on his words.
Wang Ben wasn't afraid of anyone in terms of physical strength, but it seemed like Cao Yi had the advantage in terms of physical strength as well.
Although the students of Bernabeu thought that Cao Yi's plan wasn't good, they didn't mind as long as they could win.
Meanwhile, the students of Ayrlarng were stunned, especially Hu Yangxuan, he could feel the miserable fate that awaited him. Ma Xiaoru didn't look too good either, she didn't want to go to Bernabeu like this. However, Bernabeu wouldn't have put such a heavy bet on her if she didn't agree to it beforehand.
If one is willing to bet, one must be willing to lose. This is life.
"Shameless, this is too shameless!" Tita and Kyaero shouted angrily, but no one bothered to respond to them. This was Bernabeu's home ground, and no one would respond to them.
Besides, this was a strategy!
Wang Ben didn't give up, he wanted to kill his opponent as soon as he found an opportunity!
Martyrus was calm, he knew that Cao Yi's biggest strength was that he never made mistakes!
He was going to win this time!
However, no one noticed the look in Cao Yi's eyes. Was this even a battle?
Facing a real warrior, a brave man who had reached the second stage of Mind Opening Stage, how could he use this kind of escaping method in exchange for a draw?
It was a farcical battle, and the scene was extremely ugly. Cao Yi had the strength to fight, but all he could do was stall for time.
If such a strong person really decided to avoid fighting, it would be impossible to deal with him. Wang Ben didn't even have the chance to test out his powerful attack. If it was someone else who tried to avoid, Wang Ben would be blasted to death. However, Cao Yi's super mobility left Wang Ben with no way to deal with him.
Although it was a battle of wits and courage, it was still a dangerous battle. If Cao Yi was forced into a corner by Wang Ben, he would definitely die. However, it was also difficult to force Cao Yi into a dead end since he had the upper hand in terms of Spiritual Vitality. The arena was spacious, and Cao Yi didn't make a single mistake during the twenty minutes of trembling.
Nevertheless, the scene was extremely ugly, and it didn't look like something a warrior should do.
Although it was important to win, it was also difficult for Cao Yi to fight like this. However, he would still carry out the principal's order even if it was against his will.
As a military academy student, and a future soldier, obeying orders was the most important thing.
Samantha's mood had calmed down. She was anxious, hopeful, helpless, and calm. She had accepted the result of this battle, which was basically a draw.
This was also one of the key reasons why Martyrus put Cao Yi in this round. Even if he couldn't win, a draw was enough. Although the process was complicated, it was good to have a good result.
Time passed by minute by minute, and Apache was too lazy to watch. He lay on the chair and dozed off. Although he was very disdainful, it was natural for him to do whatever it took to win. This kind of little trick was nothing. It was just a pity that he had wasted such a good training opportunity.
Justice, passion?
These were things that students liked, and Apache wasn't particularly focused on them. Although he had been passionate before, the experience of more than a year had taught him a lot.
There was a price to pay for growth.
There were only five minutes left. Cao Yi and Wang Ben's stamina had been greatly depleted. However, there was still a chance until the end. Cao Yi still didn't dare to be careless. Every move he made was done very well. He would never leave any flaws.
Wang Ben had faced many opponents, but this was the first time he had met someone as cautious as Wang Ben. Throughout the battle, Wang Ben didn't show any signs of weakness, and no matter what flaws he left, Wang Ben didn't fall for it.
Time was almost up, and Wang Ben knew that he would be in grave danger if he didn't win this round.
Tap tap tap …
"Haha, less than two minutes left." Ovlor said as he looked at the time. The principal's plan was perfect, and it seemed like Ayrlarng was doomed.
Ayrlarng's cheerleaders were also disappointed, no one had expected the most important battle to end in such a way.
On the stage, Wang Ben suddenly stopped attacking. He casually stretched his neck and moved his fingers. "Stop jumping around."
Cao Yi still kept his distance. Although there was only a little time left, and despite his opponent's disdainful attitude, he still held back his anger.
"Martyrus is just so-so. It seems like his specialty is to teach dirty tricks."
Wang Ben stared coldly at the sky, he didn't take his opponent seriously at all.
The students of Bernabeu were excited as Martyrus was Bernabeu's legend. He was the one who brought a B-ranked academy to A-ranked, and was even close to S-ranked. He was the pride of Bernabeu, and he gave hope to every student, especially the ordinary ones, because he was the best at discovering the students' strengths.
Cao Yi didn't care how Wang Ben mocked him, he knew it was a dishonorable battle, and it was normal for him to be mocked since he had to use this method to achieve a draw.
But no one was allowed to mock the principal, he would never allow it.
Wang Ben smirked, "I'm afraid Bernabeu would only be able to achieve A-ranked in his hands. You guys should change your principal as soon as possible if you want to enter S-ranked."
Cao Yi finally faced Wang Ben, he smiled bitterly, "I know you're trying to provoke me, but I won't allow anyone to insult the principal in front of me. He's the best principal!"
Boom …
Cao Yi unleashed his GN Force. There was less than a minute left, but he couldn't stand it anymore. The students of Bernabeu respected and worshipped Martyrus like a father.
How dare someone provoke the principal in front of them, no one would sit back and do nothing.
Apache also opened his sleepy eyes. Provoking Martyrus in Bernabéu was like courting death. His junior's strength was not to be underestimated.
Cao Yi's GN Force was terrifying, it was almost on par with Wang Ben's. Even the students of Bernabeu who were familiar with him were stunned.
How could he be so strong?
Perhaps only Martyrus knew how Cao Yi trained. Most people would only spend three to four hours a day on their training, but Cao Yi spent all his time on studying and training, without any form of entertainment. He had eight hours of sleep and a strict daily routine, which allowed him to maintain sufficient energy!
His training time was a few times longer than the others, and his attitude was even better than the others. It was the same training, but a different attitude would definitely result in a different result. It might not be obvious in a short period of time, but it would accumulate over time.
All Martyrus did was to give him a chance to unleash his full potential!
A wild smile appeared on Wang Ben's face. "Very well, use your saber to prove your words!"
Wang Ben clenched his right fist and let out a low roar, he unleashed his GN Force and confronted Cao Yi head-on.
The farcical battle took a dramatic turn in the end.
