Chapter 569

His strength should be very powerful.

So everyone is looking forward to it.

Seeing all eyes fixed on him, Matsushita Shida felt a faint sense of pride.

He knew this was the moment for Luo En to humiliate himself.

Luo En said.

"I never said anything like that."

But Matsushita Shida said, "Since you've already told me, and I've agreed, let's begin."

With that, he pointed outside.

Nai Zi saw this scene and suddenly understood.

She knew Matsushita Shida very well, understood his nature.

And Luo En would never seek a duel in such a setting.

She knew Luo En hated fighting people.

So she walked up to Luo En and spoke to him.

"In that case."

"I support you. Go ahead."

Luo En looked at Nai Zi in surprise—fighting within her gathering was itself an unbelievable thing.

He never expected Nai Zi would support him fighting.

He gazed at Nai Zi, puzzled.

Nai Zi blinked at him, as if hinting at something.

Luo En suddenly understood—Nai Zi must already know the reason behind this.

So he said to Matsushita Shida.

"In that case, I'll accept your challenge."

Then he stepped out the door.

Matsushita Shida also stepped out, putting distance between himself and Luo En.

"Don't say I'm bullying you."

Considering you're just a student at the academy,

I'll use only seven-tenths of my strength to fight you—that's fair to both sides."

Luo En shook his head and said.

"No need. Give it your all."

Since it's a fight, let's both use our full strength.

Only then can we truly judge each other's power."

The spectators cast approving glances at Luo En.

Clearly, Luo En was merely a student, yet dared challenge a prodigy of a powerful family.

This alone was unbelievable.

At least, no academy student had ever dared such a challenge before.

"This young man is impressive—has some guts. Reminds me of myself back then."

Nai Zi's uncle nodded slightly.

Though his expression remained stern, a faint smile could be seen in his eyes.

Nai Zi said.

"Of course. His strength isn't as simple as you think."

"Oh?" Nai Zi's uncle looked at her, puzzled.

"Does he have hidden power?"

Nai Zi said.

"You'll see soon enough."

Luo En looked around—the crowd seemed deeply interested in this match.

They exchanged whispers, debating who would ultimately win.

But so far, none had revealed their true strength.

So these were merely baseless speculations.

Some said Luo En dared to challenge, proving he had some skill—perhaps his chances of winning were high.

Others said the opponent was a prodigy of a great family, far beyond a mere student—this fight had no suspense.

All one could say was that Luo En was very brave to dare the challenge.

Matsushita Shida smiled warmly at Luo En.

"You still have time to back out."

"But once the fight begins, I won't hold back at all."

Luo En said, "I won't regret it.

If we're fighting, let's start quickly."

With that, Luo En took up his stance.

Matsushita Shida also took up his stance, full of confidence.

Luo En was highly sensitive to energy, so he quickly assessed Matsushita Shida's strength.

Though decent, it was merely decent—nothing more.

This level of strength would be considered top-tier among upperclassmen in the academy.

But compared to Luo En, the gap is enormous.

"I wonder what method I should use to defeat you? I can see you're very confident in yourself."

Matsushita Shida smiled calmly.

"Anyone who dares accept my challenge would probably be trembling in fear by now.

Just standing there like this already puts you above average."

With that, he nodded proudly.

Luo En said, "Enough talk. If you're going to fight, do it now."

Matsushita Shida's gaze turned cold, and suddenly he forged a Technique Domain.

A vast domain took shape beneath his feet.

With his movement, his entire demeanor shifted, fully entering battle mode.

Wild energy surged outward; every motion he made radiated immense power.

"Do you see? This is my true strength."

All the spectators nodded in agreement.

"Excellent. He truly has exceptional talent—such strength is rare in the world."

The Technique Domain Matsushita Shida unleashed rapidly increased his critical strike power.

Every one of his movements was executed perfectly.

Moreover, his entire form took on a streamlined shape, effortlessly shedding all resistance.

With this style of attack, his speed could reach its absolute limit.

And his power could multiply exponentially.

He truly has great talent.

Ordinary students could never comprehend this.

No matter how hard they trained, they could only fight in ordinary ways.

Yet this man has elevated combat to the level of art.

Even Luo En couldn't help but nod.

He could sense that this man's understanding of combat had reached an extremely high level.

"Very impressive. Few can achieve what you have."

Luo En said.

"Heh, are you afraid now? You can still beg for mercy.

I'll make you kneel and bow your head to me, and then I'll spare you."
