Chapter 251: Seria vs. Tang An
The arena of the battle. The students of Seren Tenshin Academy stood watching the fight.
Cheers erupted.
"Oh... Master Tang An won!"
"Look, now there are only four of us left in the match!"
"Two sixth-year students and two first-year students!"
"Win, senior! I'm rooting for you!"
"Defeat that duo!"
In the center of the arena, Seria and Sinon stood together.
Seria sported a confident expression, while Sinon maintained a calm composure.
Before them, two sixth-year seniors stood looking at the two children.
The first man was a strong, well-built man, with extensive training.
Slightly muscular, larger than Seria, with short, red hair.
A fierce expression. His name was Tang An.
Tang An stood looking at Seria, who was waving to himself.
"First-year students?" "
The round sign began again.
Seria and Tang An were led to the battle arena.
Xinon disappeared with Seria.
The surrounding area was bright green grass, surrounded by trees.
A breeze blew across the field, and a green zone surrounded it, marking the end of the arena.
Seria bent down, grabbed the grass, and held it in her hand. "Chuck, chuck, chuck."
"Wow, it's real grass. So interesting!"
Seria stood up, losing interest in the grass and returning to her senses.
"Tang An, a sixth-year student, second-level cultivator."
Tang An introduced himself to his opponent, not belittling Seria for surviving the battle.
Seria bowed respectfully to Tang An, her face still ebullient.
"Seria, the smartest girl in school, an unrivaled genius."
User of a vast brain, simply called Book Reader!
Tang An drew his sword and held it. "Then, shall we begin?"
Seria nodded. "Okay."
Seria drew her sword and swung it around.
Whoosh!
Seria swung her sword forward. Whoosh!
The sword flew at high speed. Whoosh!
Tang An swung his sword and slashed at the incoming sword. Whoosh!
Behind Seria's sword, a small ball of light was hidden behind the sword. Boom!
The ball of light exploded, changing the direction of the sword. Whoosh!
The sword deflected Tang An's defensive slash. Whoosh!
Seria saw her own sword, driven towards Tang An's midsection by the force of the ball of light.
"Movement Name: Where Am I?"
Tang An swung his fist towards Seria's sword. Whoosh! Boom!
Seria's sword flew to the right. Whoosh!
Seria's sword flew, ready to move away from Tang An's body. Whoosh!
A ball of light shot towards Seria's sword and exploded! BOOM!
The explosion sent the blade flying towards Tang An. Whoosh!
Tang An swung his left foot, adding fire energy to it. It shaped like a sword blade.
It was on his left foot, slicing through Seria's sword. Pew! BOOM!
Seria looked thoughtful and held out her hand to ask Tang An for something.
"Senior, can you throw away your sword? I'm bare-handed. So, if you dare, let's fight evenly."
Tang An shook his head, walking closer to Seria. Thud, thud, thud, thud.
"That's impossible. I've heard stories about you, too.
The boy who caused chaos at school. But there was no wrongdoing.
Seria sighed, feeling sad, her body feeling drained.
"Alright, if you're going to cheat me, senior, then fine. For me, a single branch is more than enough."
Seria jumped to the tree and pulled the branch as a weapon. Whoosh! Boom!
A brown branch with leaves attached to it. Seria took it and examined it briefly.
And swung it around.
When Seria tested the branch and saw that it worked properly, he nodded in satisfaction.
"Excellent. A fine weapon."
The branch slowly turned to point at Tang An.
A confident smile appeared, his eyes shining with a sparkle, reflecting the belief that he could not lose.
He stood still and calm, the wind rustling Seria's hair.
"For you, this branch is more than enough... I'll show you how to use the branch."
Tang An added energy to the blade.
A large, sword-shaped flame released heat. Puff!
A fire blade as large as a hull He was rushed towards Seria. Pewwww!
Seria held out one hand. A golden ball of light shone in his hand.
"Lightball of Obscuration!"
A golden light shot into the sky. Pewwww!
And curved down in front of Seria. Pewwww!
The explosion worked!
The ball of light was between them. Boom!
An explosion occurred in the middle, blocking their vision.
A loud explosion!
Seria peeked at the tree behind him and lunged forward with the force of the explosion. Pewwww!
Tang An swung his sword blade forward. Pewwww!
The fire sword slashed the light in front of him, disappearing. Boom!
Tang An saw Seria approaching. He swung a branch and swung it towards him. Pewwww!
Tang An swung his foot to reinforce the fire sword blade. Pewwww!
Tang An's foot struck the branch. Boom!
Tang An was slightly startled. The branch in front of him was easily torn apart.
Seria hadn't imbued the branch with spiritual energy, causing the impact to be even more powerful than Tang An expected.
Seria's other hand shot a ball of light straight ahead. Pew!
Tang An swung a punch towards the ball of light. Boom!
The ball of light exploded, sending Seria flying away. Pew!
Tang An's sword retracted and swung towards Seria. Boom!
Seria easily dodged the blow, slamming into Seria.
Tang An missed the strike and advanced closer. Boom! Boom!
Seria leaned to dodge, then leaped back. Boom! Boom!
Seria hurriedly retreated, only to crash back into a tree with a thud!
"Shit!?"
Tuan An approached, his sword slashing towards him. "Fuuuuuuuu!"
Seria created a golden ball of light beneath his feet. The explosion sent Seria flying into the sky. Pew! BOOM!
Seria soared into the sky, dodging Tang An's slash, which had already cleared through the trees. Pew! BOOM!
Seria created balls of light, flying in both of his hands.
Two balls of light came hurtling down at high speed. Pew! Pew! BOOM!
Tang An swung his sword and slashed in mid-air. Pew! BOOM!
The ball of light was cut off. Boom!
Seria looked behind the tree. Golden light was shining.
"Ambush attack, begin!"
A ball of light behind the tree, heading towards Tang An. Seria had created it, waiting for the right moment. Pew! BOOM!
A ball of light flew towards him. Tang An swung his sword and slashed at the ball of light. Whoosh! Boom!
Tang An knew that Seria was hiding. The ball of light was bright, so it could be seen with the naked eye.
Under Tang An's feet, the ball of light exploded. Boom!
A large cloud of dust appeared. Seria flew away. He looked at the smoke from the explosion.
"It must be over. It can't be like that?"
In the dust, a man's body ran straight out. Pew!
Tang An ran towards Seria. Whoosh!
Seria floated down, ready to land on the ground. Pew!
Tang An quickly approached, just a few moments away from Seria. Whoosh!
"Is she okay? How admirable?"
The ball of light behind Seria exploded. Boom!
Seria flew towards Tang An. Pew!
"I'm good at close range too."
Seria charged through the air. His right foot kicked towards Tang An's face. Whoosh!
Tang An swung his sword and slashed towards Seria's foot. Whoosh!
With all his power and stance, it was a little difficult to attack.
Seria looked at his right foot, entering Tang An's slashing range. Whoosh!
"Can't help it. Even though I don't want to use this move, I still want to."
The ball of light in Seria's hand shot upwards towards him.
Seria looked up, his eyes fixed on the ball of light floating above his head.
Both hands raised to protect his face, as if in a defensive stance, preparing to absorb the impact. Boom!
Seria spun around, his right foot shooting upwards, and his upper body
slammed into the ground, using the explosive force of his mid-air spin. Whoosh! Boom!
The sword split the air in half. Seria narrowly dodged.
The spinning foot struck Tang An's chin. Pew! Boom!
Tang An was kicked under the chin and lifted slightly into the air. Boom!
Seria landed on the ground with a thud!
Tang An's eyes were completely white, almost knocked unconscious by the single kick.
Tang An stood still and threw himself backward. Whoosh! Thud!
The green bracelet instantly broke, and Seria emerged victorious.
"I hope my face doesn't have any scars."
Seria stood up lazily. "And the winner is the reader, Seria. Knowledge is a weapon, and weapons are knowledge. The more you read, the stronger you become. So, read your enemies like you read books."
