The news that a student from another school wanted to duel with the student council president Dongtang Daohua quickly spread throughout the Pojun Academy. Students also came to the competition venue one after another, wanting to see who was so brave as to dare to duel with Dongtang Daohua.

In fact, although Pojun Academy has declined since the rise of the Six Stars, the foundation is still there, and there are still many talented people. Take the Star Martial Festival for example, although the Six Stars have been in charge most of the time in recent years, Pojun Academy can occasionally make it to the semi-finals. And Toudou Daohua can even enter the top ten of the Dragon King Star Martial Festival.

What made Toudou Touka famous was her super-electromagnetic sword-drawing technique - Raikiri.

The principle of this move is basically the same as Misaka Mikoto's Railgun. The difference is that the Railgun is a long-range radial attack, while Toudou Touka's sword-drawing technique is limited to close range. This is also her weakness. If the opponent is of similar strength to her and is a long-range attack player, as long as he does not act within Toudou Touka's close range, her Raikiri can be restricted.

However, if it comes to close combat, Toudou Touka has almost never lost. In all official competitions so far, as long as Toudou Touka uses Raikiri, he will definitely win, without exception.

It is also because of this that Dongtang Daohua became the ace of Pojun Academy. Now, when they heard that someone had formally challenged her, and that the other party was a student from an unknown academy that no one had ever heard of, everyone was very curious about this and wanted to see who dared to come here and cause trouble for Dongtang Daohua.

After all, even if you are a six-star, you don’t have the courage to do this.

Fang Zheng didn't care about the inquiring, curious, and mocking gazes from the audience. He just stood in the center of the duel field, waiting for his opponent to arrive. Soon, the door opposite opened, and a girl wearing the Pojun Academy uniform and a pair of rustic long braids walked out. She walked towards Fang Zheng with a blank expression and without saying a word.

At the same time, the host's voice was heard on the field.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting! The next person to appear is the school's number one student council president. He is so fast that no one can avoid him! He is so strong that no one can defend against him! The top ten of the Dragon King Star Martial Arts Festival, third grade, Raikiri - Toudou Touka!"

“Ohhhhhhhhhh!!!”

When Dongtang Daohua appeared, cheers suddenly came from the audience.

"Her opponent is the student council president from Haoling Academy, the mysterious challenger, Kasugano Masaru. What kind of confidence makes him dare to challenge Raikiri? Let us wait and see!"

“Woooooooooooooo!!!”

There was an immediate burst of boos from the audience. It was no wonder; it was an away game and he was uninvited, so it was not surprising that this would happen.

Fang Zheng chuckled, narrowed his eyes, and stared at Dongtang Daohua, who was now standing in front of him. She stared at Fang Zheng, then lowered her head.

"Please give me your guidance."

"Please give me your guidance."

After the two greeted each other, they reached out and pressed their hands on the school badges on their chests. Soon, a ray of light flashed and connected their school badges.

In this city, duels are not uncommon. After all, the entire Academy City exists for the Star Martial Festival, so all the students living here are considered duelists. As long as you apply and get permission, you will connect to the other party's data and start the duel. As long as you can cut off the other party's school emblem, you will win.

Of course, the final results of victory and defeat will also be saved and made public on the Internet.

Then Fang Zheng stretched out his hand.

"Baki."

As he called out, the Dawn Star pattern on his chest emerged, then turned into flames and spread towards his hands, and then turned into two swords. Seeing this scene, the audience was in an uproar. Obviously, the students here had already realized that Fang Zheng used a combat system that was quite similar to that of the Swordsmen like themselves.

"Roar, Narukami."

As Toudou Daohua whispered, lightning flashed around her and then condensed into a sphere. Then Toudou Daohua reached out and grabbed the sphere, pulling out a Japanese sword from it.

"beep--!"

With a low sound, the duel officially began.

Dongtang Daohua bent her waist slightly, holding the scabbard tightly with her left hand and holding the hilt with her right hand, posing in the posture of Iai. Opposite her, Fangzheng held the sharp blade horizontally as usual, pulled it open like a bow, and pointed the tip of the sword at Dongtang Daohua.

For a moment, neither of them moved.

"…What do you think?"

Standing at the back of the stands, staring at the two people on the ring, the chairman of Pojun Academy, Shinguji Kurono, whispered to the petite woman standing next to him, Xijing Ningyin, who was wearing a kimono. She was a teacher at Pojun Academy and also a very powerful swordsman. At this moment, she was squinting her eyes and staring at the ring.

"Daohua is still as sharp as ever, but I can't figure out that young man anymore."

"Yeah, yeah..."

Shinguji Kurono frowned. Even standing here, she could feel Toudou Touka's sharp fighting spirit and amazing momentum. However, on the contrary, the boy standing opposite her had an unusually calm and restrained aura. He even gave people the feeling of a leisurely old dog lying in the sun at the door, as if he didn't even bother to look at the thief who entered.

What's even more terrifying is that up to now, there is no aura on him. This person is either an ordinary person who can't fight at all, or... a very scary opponent.

Considering that Haoling Academy dared to send him here, it is enough to show that this young man is not an ordinary person.

And his posture...

If it is a close combat, Toudou Touka's Raikiri has almost a 100% chance of winning. Although there are students from other schools who have defeated her in the Star Martial Arts Festival, they are all long-range players who use magic or firearms at a distance. Once caught by Toudou Touka's Raikiri, there is only one way to go.

So, what will this young man do?

At this moment, Fang Zheng finally moved.

He has only one trick, and that is - tooth thrust!

“——!”

In just a moment, Fang Zheng suddenly closed the distance between himself and Dongtang Daohua, and the sharp blade in his hand, with a hint of cold light, pierced straight at the badge on Dongtang Daohua's chest.

No tricks, no temptations, just one strike to kill!

What a fast speed!!

Looking at the sharp blade in front of her, Dongtang Daohua was also surprised. She didn't feel the opponent's aura at all just now, as if the man opposite had no intention of fighting, but in just a blink of an eye, the opponent's blade was already under her nose?

One step slower!!

At this moment, Toudou Touka could clearly realize that before he could release Raikiri, the opponent's sharp blade would pierce his chest and badge. At this moment, the distance advantage of thrust was fully revealed. Compared with Iai, which required the sword to be drawn and swept, thrust was faster and the distance... was also farther!

However, as the strongest representative of Pojun Academy, Dongtang Daohua was naturally not someone who would be defeated so easily. She immediately flashed and distanced herself from him. At the same time, she pressed the hilt of the sword with her right hand, seized the gap when Fang Zheng's thrust weakened, and suddenly drew her sword!

Raikiri!

This attack exceeded the speed of thunder, and almost no one could block it.

but……

"clang!!!!"

The sword edge shining with cold light stabbed forward again with unparalleled momentum, directly facing the blade flashing with thunder, tearing through the flash of thunder like a swirling hurricane.

“Ding ding ding ding ding!!!!!!”

No one saw what happened.

In fact, from the moment the fight began, the two people standing on the ring seemed to have disappeared from everyone's sight. Only the occasional flashes of lightning and fire could barely identify their positions. Even the high-speed cameras on both sides of the ring could barely capture the afterimages of the two people.

This also caused an uproar among the students in the audience.

"Are you kidding me? That guy actually rushed directly towards the president?"

"But didn't the president use Raikiri?"

Looking at the arena in front of them, everyone was stunned. In fact, the moment Fang Zheng rushed towards Dongtang Daohua, they thought the battle was over. As long as Dongtang Daohua used Raikiri, there would be no suspense about the outcome.

But...what is happening now?!

The students in the audience looked confused, but Shinguji Kurono had a serious expression.

"Did you see that, Ningyin?"

"Um……"

The woman in kimono standing next to her nodded and stared at the ring with a serious expression.

"What an interesting person."

Although the students could not see what was happening on the ring, the two saw it clearly. Generally speaking, thrusting, like Iai, emphasizes speed, but the side effect is also obvious, that is, there is a large gap. For example, after thrusting with the long sword, the long sword should be retracted and thrust again. As long as this gap is seized, the attack can be interrupted.

But Fang Zheng's Ya Tu was not like that. After thrusting out with his sword, he did not retract the sword. Instead, he would let the sword stay in place, take a step forward to close the distance between himself and the weapon, and then thrust out again. In this way, Fang Zheng did not need to retract the sword at all, but could use it to press the opponent step by step.

Instead, Toudou Touka suffered a loss because of this. To put it bluntly, Raikiri is also a form of Iai, and in the final analysis, it still requires the action of swinging and slashing. However, if you are too close to the opponent, swinging and slashing will be useless. If the opponent rushes directly into your arms, then Raikiri will naturally not be able to be released. Because swinging and slashing also requires a certain gap.

On the contrary, Fang Zheng's thrusts are not afraid of getting close to you at all. He would like to stick directly into your arms - after all, even if he really sticks to the opponent, the power of his thrusts will not be weakened.

So now it was Toudou Daohua who had to find a way to create a certain distance between herself and Fangzheng in order to perform Raikiri, while Fangzheng stuck to her like a stalker, not giving Toudou Daohua any chance to change her stance. If Toudou Daohua paused even for a moment at this moment, Fangzheng's sharp blade would pierce through her chest and split the badge in two.

This is the benefit of the Dawn Star Mark.

You know, although this city advocates duels, it prohibits killing. As long as the weapons made by the Dawn Star Mark do not have the intention to kill, they will not cause any harm to the opponent's body. At most, they will only cause some damage to the spirit and soul. So even if Fang Zheng really pierced Dongtang Daohua's body with a sword, it would not kill her. At most, it would only cut her clothes and badge.

In comparison, Dongtang Daohua's side is a bit restricted.

After all, inherent spiritual equipment does not have this feature.

"clang--!!!!"

After another collision, the audience felt dizzy, and then two figures suddenly appeared on the empty arena. Fang Zheng was still standing there, looking calm and composed. On the other hand, Dongtang Daohua on the opposite side was still in the Iai posture, but he was panting and sweating.

Even if you can't see the battle clearly, you can tell who is better just by looking at the appearance of both sides.

"Yes, that's interesting."

Fang Zheng stared at Dongtang Daohua, chuckled, and spoke. Dongtang Daohua said nothing, just stared at him intently.

This man is amazing.

Although others could not see it, in fact, Toudou Daohua had just released several consecutive Raikiri. However, the trajectory that should have been invisible to no one due to the super electromagnetic acceleration seemed to be completely seen by this man. And he was not simply fighting head-on, on the contrary, the man seized the opportunity of each attack at the moment when he just released Raikiri.

It was like someone trying to run fast, but was pushed down and interrupted just as he started running, which made Toudou Daohua feel so uncomfortable that she wanted to vomit blood. Because of this, the power of the Raikiri she used before was not even one-tenth of the usual power, which naturally could not pose any threat to the opponent.

However, Fang Zheng obviously didn't care about Dongtang Daohua's thoughts. He raised the sword in his hand again - the difference was that before he held the sword horizontally in front of his chest, but this time, Fang Zheng raised the sword above his head, pointing it forward, and at the same time stretched out his right hand to guide the tip of the sword.

"Well, it's time for me to show you a real tooth protrusion."

Weren't you serious just now?

Dongtang Daohua was shocked when she heard Fang Zheng's words. You know, just now, she almost couldn't hold on, because compared to Fang Zheng's simple thrust, her Raikiri required continuous drawing and sheathing of the sword - even if it could be done to the point where it was almost invisible to the naked eye, this action itself could not be omitted.

In fact, Dongtang Daohua had no idea why the other party would stop at the last minute. He knew that if he continued to attack like that, he would be defeated sooner or later.

But now, she understood.

For the man, it wasn't a battle at all, but more like a warm-up and playing like cat and mouse.

At this moment, he finally showed his fangs and was going to be serious!

"boom--!!!"

At this moment, golden lightning suddenly burst out from Dongtang Daohua's body and merged with the sharp blade in her hand. Seeing this scene, the students cheered immediately. In their opinion, the student council president was finally going to show his power.

However, the expressions of Shinguji Kurono and Saikyo Nene changed at the same time.

not good!

That's not the look of someone about to explode, it's the look of someone being forced into a dead end and having the last chance to fight to the death!

Did that boy put so much pressure on her? !

At the same time, Fang Zheng thrust out his sword again, and rushed towards Dong Tang Dao Hua with his sword. The latter drew his beloved sword from his waist the moment Fang Zheng's figure disappeared.

Rachel.

The flashing lightning almost penetrated the entire space, but the cold light penetrated the leaping lightning without stopping. Dongtang Daohua watched the sharp blade stabbing towards him, and then -

"Bang!!!"

The beloved sword in her hand shattered in an instant, but the sharp sword edge continued to move forward, piercing through the badge on Dongtang Daohua's chest and her body.

[End of Duel]

At the same time, a prompt message appeared in the air.

“Plop.”

Dongtang Daohua fell to the ground, her beloved sword completely broken. Seeing this scene, everyone present was stunned and speechless.

Even without looking at the system prompts, they already knew who the winner of this battle was.

However... this result was completely beyond their expectations.
