Spirit Master Girl: Contracting with an SSS-Level School Beauty at the Start-Chapter 482: Concede with Dignity
Chapter 482: Chapter 482: Concede with Dignity
His move was too quick.
The remaining twenty-nine people were still caught in hesitation, not expecting him to strike just like that.
By the time they reacted, he had already charged forward.
Yet, upon reacting, these twenty-nine individuals made a rare unanimous decision to stay where they were, not helping out nor attacking together.
Just observing?
It seemed they were really weighing the pros and cons.
Indeed, Xiao Zhan’s combat strength was shockingly formidable.
They couldn’t help but seriously contemplate the disparity in strength between the two sides.
It wasn’t about fearing death, since there were rules in place; Xiao Zhan wouldn’t kill, as proven by the twenty-four people who had already fallen.
Nor did they fear injury; losing a head was merely a scar the size of a bowl, not to mention their heads weren’t actually going to fall off.
So what were they weighing?
Of course, their reputation.
They were, after all, the pride of their own Federation, representing the topmost talent within it. If thirty people ganged up and still lost to Xiao Zhan.
Then they would indeed become a laughingstock.
Probably the headline news tonight would be about Xiao Zhan single-handedly battling fifty-four Sixth Grade Heavens’ Pride, ending with a complete defeat, battered and bruised.
They really couldn’t afford to lose face.
Being beaten, seeing the situation and conceding defeat, and stalling for time before losing are all losses, yet the three are vastly different.
Thus, if it’s clearly an unfavorable situation, they needed to think about how to lose with dignity.
Meanwhile, as they were thinking this, the player from the Northern Bear Federation already approached Xiao Zhan.
His muscles were wild and savage, each appearing to contain immense strength.
His claws sharp as steel blades, tearing through space and bringing with it a chilling cold that made the hearts of many palpitate!
He targeted Xiao Zhan’s small frame.
If this claw strike landed, it would split Xiao Zhan into eight pieces.
Faced with this ferocious assault, Xiao Zhan was well-prepared.
Especially when he saw that no one else was taking action, he made a decision in his heart.
Holding the Death Demon Scythe tightly, the Spirit Manipulation Energy circulated, and a surge of deathly aura dramatically rose around the scythe while Xiao Zhan’s physical strength pooled, driven by the core, and channeled into his arms.
After gathering all his strength, he swung the Demon Scythe, aiming straight for the Northern Bear’s lethal claws.
In a fight, don’t hit sideways, don’t hit the foolish, target those who break easily!
Seeing that the other twenty-nine hadn’t joined in, he immediately guessed what they were thinking.
They were afraid.
Deterred by his power. freёnovelkiss.com
Their current motionlessness was precisely to probe further into his strength, to better make their choices.
This strike from the Northern Bear Federation became their touchstone.
If his performance wasn’t clean and decisive enough, if he exchanged a few moves with the Northern Bear Federation, or even had an ongoing battle, they would rush up immediately and besiege him.
But if his performance was explosively impeccable, they would need to reconsider.
To surrender, or to surrender, or perhaps... to surrender.
In any case, whether Xiao Zhan still had the ability for sustained one-punch kills was now key in determining whether they would continue this fight.
The rise of the Demon Scythe met the fierce claw head-on.
The collision of the two forces erupted into a resounding explosion of sound.
But amidst the turbulent noise, there emerged a faint sound hardly noticeable—it was the sound of bone cracking.
Crack!
The Demon Scythe made contact with the claws for less than a third of a second, and at the point of contact, several conspicuous white fragments flew out instantly.
Upon closer inspection, those were the bear’s claws.
Its seemingly sharp and fierce claws were no match for the Demon Scythe, shattering like ceramics.
The breakage of the bone claws instantly caused intense pain, sending signals straight to the brain of the Northern Bear Federation contestant.
It was not only the bear’s bone claws, but also his fingers!
His fingers snapped along with them!
Blood streamed profusely, causing his expression to contort.
Xiao Zhan seized this moment, and while his opponent was overwhelmed by pain, he stepped forward with force, his energy reverberating profoundly as if he were stepping through mountains and rivers.
Then he swung a fierce punch!
The mountains and rivers seemed to coil, gathering energy in his fist.
This punch demonstrated terrifying power from the sheer force Xiao Zhan generated while swinging, showing its ferocity.
Boom!
The air exploded with a loud sound!
The body of this Northern Bear Federation contestant seemed to stutter through time and space, freezing for a tenth of a second, then in the next moment, he shot out like a sonic boom.
A straight line!
He then flew nearly a kilometer in the air before crashing to the ground.
He skidded across the ground, carving out a trench hundreds of meters long before finally coming to a halt.
After stopping, his body was wrecked and covered in blood.
Fortunately, his bear form gave him resilience unlike that of a normal human. This alone spared him from a fatal outcome, leaving him hanging by a thread.
Had it been any other Spirit Master, this punch would have possibly exploded his body!
Silence!
The whole field fell into deathly silence.
A silence as profound as death!
Everyone dared not make the slightest noise, even holding their breaths, afraid of disturbing Xiao Zhan and potentially facing the same fate as the Northern Bear Federation contestant.
Their gazes shifted between the Northern Bear Federation contestant and Xiao Zhan.
Finally, they settled on Xiao Zhan.
The indecision and struggle in their eyes vanished, replaced by intense fear.
This guy from the Northern Bear Federation, being the strongest among their group of thirty, could easily take on two or three of them, but now he had been blown away with a single punch by Xiao Zhan.
How the heck were they supposed to fight this?
Moreover, Sean and his group had also been decimated by Xiao Zhan.
The collective strength of those twenty-something individuals was at least twice stronger than their group.
If they had been beaten so badly, what good outcome could they expect?
And after obliterating a group, Xiao Zhan seemed as if he hadn’t expended any energy at all.
Therefore, there was absolutely no point in fighting anymore.
Realizing this, someone immediately chickened out, starting to retreat.
Of course, it wasn’t really chickening out; they just felt there was no point anymore.
Losing by fighting, or losing without fighting—it was all the same. Better not to fight at all.
Thus, one by one, they retracted their aggressive stances, displaying a posture of submission. Yet, their faces still held the initial toughness, but through the shiftiness in their eyes, they continuously conveyed a message of surrender to Xiao Zhan.
