X-Dragon Era

The duel of grudges came to an end in a way that made one's skin crawl. That last Fire Dragon Knight finally couldn't escape the accident Xin Yun had orchestrated, and amidst the furious strike from the Green Dragon Instructor, he was blasted into pieces on the spot. After all... the disparity in strength between the two was simply too vast.

With such an outcome, the Green Dragon Instructor was so furious he almost passed out, but he couldn't come up with a single excuse. You really couldn't blame him, it wasn't that the Green Dragon Instructor was too incompetent, but rather that Xin Yun was too cunning.

Shrouded in the acidic mist, not only were sight and hearing obscured, but even Spiritual Perception and Divine Perception were veiled. Coupled with the intense battle, the Green Dragon Instructor simply couldn't multitask and keep an eye on the unfortunate Fire Dragon Knight's position at all times.

But Xin Yun was different. Relying on his rich experience and the probing of the acidic mist, he laid a clever trap while launching a ferocious attack. What terrified the Green Dragon Instructor the most was that Xin Yun had even calculated his psychological tendencies—unless he was attacking Yinglong's thigh, it would be impossible to mistakenly injure that Fire Dragon Knight anywhere else. But under the circumstances at that time, the Green Dragon Instructor had a more than 90% likelihood of targeting the thigh.

After the match, three opponents were sent to Ghost Gate. Although they were pulled back successfully in the end, they nearly died for real several times. Their injuries were more gruesome than the last; the first had his intestines spilled and half of his head blown away, the second was practically burned to a crisp with his flesh nearly cooked through, and the third was relatively unscathed, but only because the Green Dragon Instructor saved him. Otherwise, his end would have been no different from that of the last one—utter obliteration.

The most unlucky had to be the last Fire Dragon Knight, who was struck by a stray bullet and exploded into a cloud of fragments on the spot, with not even a trace of remains to be found, as if he had never existed. And even in death, there was no way to tell who the enemy was. Was it Xin Yun's doing? Or should it count as the Green Dragon Instructor's responsibility?

In the wake of that battle, Xin Yun suddenly became infamous, with the strength of a Gold Two Star, he faced four Crystal Two Star opponents, yet he controlled the entire match single-handedly, without even having to use his real capabilities, defeating his opponents with seemingly casual ease—a whole Ten Stars of difference!

What gave people headaches, was how incredibly bold this person was. On the dueling field, he even dared to make a move against the Green Dragon Instructor who had the strength of a Purple Crystal Five Star, and even schemed to have the instructor mistakenly kill the last opponent. His ruthlessness was simply beyond comprehension!

Everyone knew that inside the dueling arena, no student in the Third-year Phase would dare provoke a Guardian Instructor. You have to understand... Guardian Instructors have at least the strength of a Purple Crystal One Star, something they're not able to contend with, not even Po Kong.

Yet Xin Yun not only challenged a Guardian Instructor, he even took advantage during the fight, and ultimately, after a series of setups, he tempted the Green Dragon Instructor to mistakenly kill the last Fire Dragon Knight. How did he manage to do that?

At the time, a thick fog covered the entire battlefield; no one could see clearly what was happening inside. Now that someone had died, and moreover at the hands of a Guardian Instructor, naturally, an explanation was due.

Regarding that battle, the Green Dragon Instructor didn't conceal anything, nor did he dare to. He reported to the academy truthfully, and... his report was also acknowledged by Xin Yun. Everything happened just as he described, with nothing controversial about it.

The academy naturally had to provide an explanation for such an egregious incident. Therefore, the principal personally presided over the gathering of all the students in the Third-year Phase; thousands gathered in the auditorium to deal with the matter. This was not only to enforce academy discipline, but more importantly, to provide an explanation to the students and their parents.

As soon as the match ended, the entire arena was put under martial law; no one was allowed to leave. The disciplinary meeting commenced immediately afterward. Such a vile incident, if not well addressed, would undermine the academy's control and grasp over its students.

Soon, everyone involved gathered in the auditorium of the dueling field. The principal of the academy sat high on the podium, with Xin Yun and the Green Dragon Instructor standing in front ready for questioning and scrutiny. The rest of the students sat in the auditorium, awaiting the outcome of the proceedings.

As for the four who had been challenged, the dead naturally couldn't attend, the two injured were still receiving treatment, and the only one who hadn't been hurt also attended the review meeting, standing shoulder to shoulder with Xin Yun and the Green Dragon Instructor.

First, the Green Dragon Instructor summarised the incident, detailing the cause, the beginning, the development, the climax, and the conclusion. His account was clear and comprehensive, describing every action and every word spoken by everyone on the field, including the battle inside the mist.

In response to the Green Dragon Instructor's description, Xin Yun immediately expressed agreement. The events were indeed as described, and Xin Yun didn't bother lying. The one uninjured Fire Dragon Knight also agreed, because... there were too many people who knew about the incident, and lying was futile. Naturally, plenty of people would come forward to verify the truth.
