Zhou Wen frowned slightly. The Guardian was clearly targeting them, and there was a high chance that he was looking for Ming Xiu.
Zhou Wen had been missing for so many years and had just returned inland. Not many people knew him. Even if an enemy recognized him, they shouldn't have taken action so quickly. At the very least, they should have investigated his current situation.
The Guardian didn't deliberately hide his aura. As he approached, Ming Xiu sensed his arrival.
The Guardian stopped in front of the lounge. Although the door was closed, it didn't seem to affect his vision at all. He looked at Ming Xiu through the door and said, "Tomorrow Swordsman, I've heard a lot about you. Do you dare fight me?"
With the Guardian's arrival, many students discovered him. They whispered from afar, but they didn't dare approach. Clearly, they all knew the Guardian.
"I wouldn't dare," Ming Xiu said with a smile.
"Tomorrow's Wind Mark is known as the Sword and Saber Paragon. No one can match him when it comes to swords and sabers. I also use a sword, and I believe my sword techniques are passable. If I can't win in ten strikes, it'll be considered my loss," the Guardian continued.
"You've already won." Ming Xiu was no longer the competitive youth from back then. He spoke casually and was not moved at all.
"I never expected the famous Tomorrow Swordsman to be a coward. He doesn't even have the courage to accept the challenge. From the looks of it, the so-called invincible Tomorrow Swordsman is just an exaggeration used by humans to comfort themselves. A sword technique created by humans ultimately can't be shown in public," the Guardian continued provoking.
This time, Ming Xiu didn't back down. He didn't care about his reputation, but there were some things that he absolutely couldn't allow others to sully.
"Coach, please wait a moment. I'll be back soon," Ming Xiu said to Zhou Wen before getting up and pushing the door open.
The students watching from afar were somewhat excited when they saw Ming Xiu come out.
The Guardian's name was Judge, and the person who contracted him was Buzz. He was a very famous Guardian of the Cape family and a member of the League of Defender. Although he hadn't advanced to the Terror grade, he was already somewhat famous in the Federation with his Sword of Judgment.
Ming Xiu once killed a branch leader of the League of Defender and destroyed a plan of the League of Defender in the East District. That guardian was also a member of the Cape family.
Although it was rumored that Ming Xiu had once killed a Terror-grade dimensional creature, no one had seen it with their own eyes. The League of Defender had also analyzed Ming Xiu and believed that he was still at the Mythical stage and hadn't advanced to the Terror grade. The rumors of him killing a Terror creature weren't credible.
Buzz's eyes lit up when he saw Ming Xiu.
If he could defeat Ming Xiu, not only would he be avenging the Cape family, but he would also be able to make his name known throughout the Federation.
Due to the battle when Zhou Wen was conferred the title of Emperor, humans were very repulsed by Guardians. Even if they could accept half-humans like Ya, even if they were willing to treat mutated humans who used Mythical Fluid as part of the human race, they were unwilling to accept pure humans who contracted Guardians.
This makes humans very resistant to the League of Defender, and it also annoys the humans who contract with the League of Defender.
They had clearly obtained great power, but they were unable to gain the recognition of their own race.
The fame and expectations that humans like Ming Xiu who used Mythical Fluid obtained were something that a contractor like Buzz couldn't enjoy.
Even within the Cape family, the young people of Royal College were more willing to worship Ming Xiu than Buzz and his Guardian.
When the outside world mentioned him, they would only mention the name Nephilic Judge. Ordinary people couldn't even remember Buzz's name.
Buzz was looking forward to seeing how the people who admired Ming Xiu would react after he defeated him.
Buzz had been looking forward to this ever since Ming Xiu accepted Royal College's invitation. He had already hired a professional analyst in the League of Defender to help him analyze the situation. His ability had a certain restraining effect on Ming Xiu. As long as Ming Xiu didn't advance to the Terror grade, his chances of winning were as high as 70%.
Ming Xiu's Sword of Tomorrow would give others the illusion that they could block his sword, but if they really did block it, they would realize that the strike would come later than expected.
The Sword of Judgment could slice through the fabrications and strike at the essence. Even if Buzz made a mistake, the Sword of Judgment could accurately block Ming Xiu's sword. Therefore, Ming Xiu was at an absolute disadvantage against him.
"Royal College's combat arena should be able to allow us to fight with all our might," Buzz said as he looked at Ming Xiu.
"There's no need. Let's do it here." Ming Xiu reached out and grabbed the hilt of his sword.
"Here?" Buzz frowned slightly. This was a lounge, and there were students and tutors nearby. With their strength, they would probably implicate many people if they fought here.
Royal College was the Cape family's school after all. Buzz was also a member of the Cape family, so he naturally had scruples. He thought that Ming Xiu was trying to threaten him.
"Yes, here," Ming Xiu said as he unsheathed his sword.
The moment the sword was unsheathed, Buzz's pupils constricted. He still wanted to retreat, but he only took half a step back before he stopped.
Ming Xiu had already sheathed his sword. He turned around and pushed open the door before walking into the lounge behind him.
It was only when Ming Xiu turned around and pushed open the door that the students and tutors nearby saw the sword flash and pierce through Buzz's abdomen.
The wound on Buzz's abdomen split open, and blood immediately gushed out. He quickly covered the wound with his hand, and his face turned pale. He turned around and left without saying a word. He had to treat his injury immediately, or he would die here.
The students watched in shock as Buzz retreated. When they looked at Ming Xiu again, they realized that he had already walked into the lounge, and they could only see the closed door.
"The sword kills first before it sees the light. This sword is too fast."
"Tomorrow's Swordsman lives up to his name."
"The Nephilic Judge is considered a famous guardian, but he was defeated with one strike. This is too scary."
…
"Coach, I've kept you waiting," Ming Xiu said apologetically as he returned to the lounge.
"Your Tomorrow's Swordsmanship can be considered to be at the initial stage," Zhou Wen said.
If someone else said this, they would only be regarded as arrogant. However, when it came from Zhou Wen, Ming Xiu's eyes lit up.
"Coach, can you teach me what I should do in the future?" Ming Xiu asked sincerely.
Before Zhou Wen could speak, Tsukuyomi suddenly said, "Tomorrow is the next day. There are so many tomorrows. Which day is your tomorrow?"
Ming Xiu was stunned when he heard this. His eyes stared straight ahead, but he wasn't looking at anything. It was as if he had lost his focus. He stood there motionless.
