Li Xuanxun stood in the center of the field, hands spread open, placed by his sides.
On the palms, a dark green, flashing flame rose, casting a green light on the side of his face.
He laughed loudly, arrogantly confident: "My [Bone Melting Phosphorus Fire], is an A-level superpower!"
"As long as it touches a little, it'll burn straight through skin and muscle, destroying bones with an invincible flame!"
Standing opposite him was Li Xing, surrounded by a chilling aura, hair standing like a porcupine, with floating ice crystals around him like tiny ice knives.
"Idiot."
Li Xing raised an eyebrow, speaking with a biting tone: "What the hell are you saying?"
"Speak Mandarin, okay?"
Like a chicken talking to a duck, they had a conversation of solitude.
At least the two could catch some flavor from each other's expressions and tones.
"Damn! You little brat! How dare you look down on me!" Li Xuanxun was infuriated.
This little guy across from him, having just joined Grass Hut Academy for a few days, dares to challenge a senior, who knows how bad things will get with time?
In both South Korea and Japan, seniority and sequence of entry matter greatly.
In Li Xuanxun's eyes, Li Xing, a newcomer, not lowering his head when speaking to him, was just the kind that needed to be taught a lesson, needing to be beaten until half-dead at least.
Li Xing's thoughts were quite simple.
Using the purest trash talk to derive the ultimate pleasure: "Don't pull that long face!"
"Someone who doesn't know you sees your expression and might think your mom just died…"
"Yo, punk, come here!"
"Let grandpa smash that ugly face of yours that no amount of plastic surgery can fix!"
Beside them, President Huang Weiguo held his forehead with his hand.
If possible, he wanted to find a pair of earplugs to block his ears.
In recent days, Li Xing behaved quite well, apart from being a bit unlucky, he was considerate, understood manners well, and was enthusiastic, often helping other members.
Now it seems, that was just a facade.
Li Xing…
Another troublemaker like Wu Di!
Trash talking isn't wrong.
But before you do, consider your surroundings, okay?
Did you really think everyone else is like Li Xuanxun, not understanding Mandarin?
This team is really hard to manage…
Master Heaven is fair, giving Grass Hut Academy the best talents, and also various intolerable quirks.
The one who's stress-free…
In the end, it's only Ma Ran.
Su Qiangwei, Wu Di, Wan Haihao, Li Xing…
The other genius members each have their own quirks.
Boom!
A dull sound echoed as the dark green flames and the blue-white ice storm collided.
Li Xuanxun's ability, called Bone Melting Phosphorus Fire, isn't truly related to phosphorus fire, but the heat was shocking when unleashed.
Scorching hot air and extremely cold wind swept across the field, each occupying half of it.
"You little brat, you do have some skill!"
"Ungrateful descendant, just testing grandpa here? Hurry up and use your ultimate move, otherwise, after the fight, heading back home to pay respects to your deceased mom and dad? Waiting for grandpa to go disco on your parents' graves?"
The two exchanged barbs effortlessly across languages, but both spontaneously shifted their fighting styles.
Open, large-scale energy releases too easily led to mental exhaustion, hastening the onset of superpower erosion.
Both Li Xuanxun and Li Xing, without planning, suppressed their ability range.
Bang!
Li Xuanxun's shoes turned into charred mush instantly, with two flames exploding from the soles, propelling him forward rapidly, targeting Li Xing with his Bone Melting Phosphorus Fire.
And Li Xing's eyes flickered with a fierce light, with icy wind blasting from behind, advancing instead of retreating, forming Ice Boxing Gloves on his fists, and struck fiercely: "Die, you jerk!"
Ice and fire entwined.
Dark green and blue-white energies intertwined, triggering a subtle chemical reaction.
A moment later, a loud blast was heard.
Bang!
The shockwave blew the two, who were fighting with real fire, apart.
"Stop!"
"It's a draw this time!"
President Huang Weiguo finally stepped up to stop the two.
Even though the language barrier existed, Li Xing and Li Xuanxun's glares seemed filled with deep hatred.
Only a blind person couldn't tell, if the fight continued, surely one of them would end up dead.
"What a shame…"
Li Xuanxun's gaze focused on Li Xing, feeling a bit tempted.
He could understand what the word "tie" meant.
Originally, he wanted to pretend not to understand, seize the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, and eliminate Li Xing, reducing a rival.
But...
As soon as their eyes met, he knew that the despicable newcomer named Li Xing had the same idea as him.
That look, absolutely no mistake!
A scoundrel full of deceit!
A sneak attack was impossible to succeed.
Not only was the other already prepared, but he also had the same thought as Li Xuanxun. What would a sneak attack achieve!
In the audience, Extraordinary Ones from various countries were eagerly discussing.
"Li Xuanxun is one of South Korea's three new extraordinary stars, who is this Chinese kid? I've never heard of him before!"
"Li Xing, a second-term student of Grass Hut Academy, has awakened his superpower for less than half a month."
"Hiss... What's his ability called?"
"Pillar Level Superpower, [Extreme Cold]."
"That's China's problem; the Under Development, Pillar Level, National Guardian Level categories are too broad! In my opinion, Extreme Cold can definitely be rated as A+ level!"
"Just a newcomer... and he can tie with Li Xuanxun?"
Anyone with insight could see that Li Xing's ability usage was not yet fluent, showing some awkwardness and hesitation.
Even so, he was able to tie with Li Xuanxun.
Potential...
Very strong!
[Extreme Cold] is definitely A+ level, no less than [Undying Flame], and can hold its own against the [Blood Flame] that carries mental damage, each with their unique features!
No matter which country he is in, Li Xing could be nurtured as an ace player!
Tie, A+, newcomer dark horse...
Li Xuanxun was never some language prodigy, but he did live in the age of information explosion; be it Chinese, English, or even Japanese, he could understand some simple terms.
He knew the focal point of the discussions was that trash-talking Chinese kid.
Deep inside, Li Xuanxun felt extremely discontented.
He came to China to make a name, not to tie with an unknown minor!
Not only did he fail to achieve his goal, but he also became someone else's stepping stone...
How could that be acceptable?
But at this moment, Li Xing had already retreated to the audience...
"Damn kid! My endurance is definitely stronger than his! It should be judged as my win! The referee is unfair!"
Li Xuanxun pointed at Li Xing, who was exuding a cold aura in the audience, protesting: "He's just a newcomer, he won't withstand the superpower erosion for long, while I'm just getting warmed up!"
Old Huang couldn't be bothered with this person.
What a downgrade.
If, when talking to this guy, he suddenly said, "Of course, with your surname Huang, you surely have South Korean bloodline," it would truly be disgusting.
Completely ignored, Li Xuanxun felt like a mere clown.
Very uncomfortable.
Li Xuanxun instinctively looked toward the audience.
Jin Yina's gaze toward him was full of some sympathy, some complexity.
"Damn it!"
Li Xuanxun felt his pride was hurt.
Anger clouded his judgment.
He pointed at Ma Ran in the audience, loudly criticizing: "National Guardian Level Ability User, Ma Ran! Do you dare to fight me?"
Pffft.
Su Qiangwei couldn't hold it in and laughed out loud.
The crowd's gaze focused on her.
"Hey! Isn't the protagonist supposed to be Ma Ran? Why are you all looking at me? Lighting engineer, you get no drumstick in your lunchbox today!"
Saying this, the young girl laughed openly, shaking with laughter: "Hahaha! How amusing!"
"To still be playing with such insignificant cleverness at a time like this..."
"What 'National Guardian Level Ability User'?"
"I thought this guy would say [Prophet]!"
"Turns out he knows that [Prophet] is not good at combat, they're a desk job!"
"To have the nerve to issue a challenge so shamelessly..."
After saying this, Su Qiangwei crossed her legs and propped her face with her right hand.
Her eyes fell disdainfully on Li Xuanxun, with contempt in her voice: "Cowardly person..."
"If you have the guts, come challenge me!"
