Storm of Gods

Chapter 35 Temper
Fei Ruolin and Nan Kai are not naive; they joined Black Rose two years and three years ago, respectively, and have always been core members.

Seeing her two assistants intimidated, Luo Xue remained unfazed. "Your basic skills are both good. Next up is close combat."

Nan Kai smiled and walked into the circle. "This level is easy. If you can stay in the circle within 15 seconds, you pass."

"Hurta".

Hurta nodded. "Senior brother, please give me your guidance."

"Haha, let me see the power of the Saxons." Nankai was clearly not encountering barbarians for the first time.

Stepping into the circle, the close-combat circle was five meters in diameter. Hurta and Nankai found it a bit cramped inside. Having lost the previous battle, Hurta was giving it his all this time. He crouched down and charged forward, throwing a punch. Nankai, of course, knew the strength of the barbarians and immediately dodged the attack. However, Hurta had anticipated this and delivered a spinning elbow strike as fierce as lightning. By the time Nankai reacted, the fist was already aimed at his head. He unleashed a burst of psionic energy, and Nankai took the hit head-on. His head was almost blown off, and he staggered out of the circle.

Nan Kai, clutching his head, was on the verge of tears. He had been careless; he hadn't expected this guy to be not only strong but also so skilled. This was completely different from ordinary barbarians. Fei Ruolin, who had been feeling down because of her defeat, was now happy.

He was happier seeing his peers fail than seeing himself succeed, and he was secretly laughing to himself.

Nan Kai chuckled wryly and cracked his neck. He wasn't good at hand-to-hand combat, but he hadn't expected the newcomers to be so fierce. "Hurta, you've passed."

This not only didn't make him stand out, but it also knocked him out of the competition, making up for his previous loss.

Now it was Lu Shuai's turn. With Huerta as a good example, Lu Shuai was full of confidence. With a roar, he went up and launched a high roundhouse kick, aiming to sweep Nankai away and show off his leg length.

boom……

Lu Shuai flew out as expected. Nan Kai was also furious. These newcomers were so ignorant of the rules. Did they think he was a rookie?

Just as he was about to be eliminated, Lu Shuai abruptly stopped himself. Nan Kai's attack had already arrived. Lu Shuai reacted quickly, feinting before suddenly grabbing Nan Kai's arm. Nan Kai flipped over, but Lu Shuai still managed to use his strength against him. The two were locked in combat, both using their spiritual energy. Nan Kai clearly had the upper hand, but Lu Shuai was also willing to fight and was determined not to be eliminated. Nan Kai was just testing him and wouldn't actually use a killing move, especially since the target this time wasn't Lu Shuai.

Lu Shuai successfully held on for fifteen seconds.

"Commander Lu, you've passed the test."

Then it was Roland's turn. "Senior brother, would you like to take a break?"

Nan Kai waved his hand, his handsome face was of no use to him, "Stop talking nonsense, come on up!"

Roland entered the circle, and Nankai attacked directly. I wonder if such a handsome face will be deformed after being punched.

Nan Kai's fists rained down like raindrops, and he pressed forward step by step. Roland, on the other hand, countered the attacks calmly and unhurriedly. Nan Kai also sensed his opponent's agility and his attack speed was constantly increasing. However, Roland was not an ordinary person at dodging. His predictions and angles were perfect. No matter how Nan Kai used his skills in the narrow space, he could not exert any real pressure.

Nan Kai was also a little anxious. Suddenly, he launched a wide-range side kick. Roland raised his foot and blocked, cutting directly into the middle. Startled, Nan Kai suddenly turned to the side. Roland's hand slash was already coming over, and Nan Kai quickly blocked it.

But the blockade was in vain; Roland had already reached the edge of the circle. "Senior brother, time's up."

Nankai...

"Roland, you've passed." Fei Ruolin said, "Junior brother is truly outstanding. His marksmanship, close combat, and strategic thinking are all top-notch. Our Tianjing Black Rose will definitely reach even greater heights because of your joining us."

At this moment, Li Xin, Huerta, Lu Shuai, and Nan Kai actually felt a bit of shared hatred. Was he the only man?
Nan Kai felt he was even worse off than Fei Ruolin; he was a fourth-year student! "Li Xin, it's your turn!"

“Senior Brother Nan Kai, wait a moment,” Luo Xue said. “Hurta, Roland, and Lu Shuai, the three of you have passed the initial test at Black Rose. Senior Brother, Senior Sister Ruolin, please take the three of them to the equipment room to familiarize themselves with the environment and explain our situation and the rules of Black Rose to them.”

Judging from his marksmanship, Li Xin's close-combat skills wouldn't be too bad either; it seems the guild leader is going to personally intervene. "Ahem, guild leader, Old Li is a decent guy, could you..." By this point, Lu Shuai also realized that Li Xin was being targeted.

"You want to replace him?" Luo Xue asked.

Lu Shuai shut up, and the three of them followed Nan Kai and Fei Ruolin to the next room. The entire Black Rose base was very large, with psionic facilities and Hextech facilities. Members of Black Rose could also use the Hextech laboratory.

Only Li Xin and Luo Xue, who had an icy expression, remained on the training ground. Luo Xue just stared at Li Xin blankly, making Li Xin feel uneasy, as if he were being stared at by a Licker. "Old Luo, young people hate oppression the most. Why are you forcing her to do this?"

"Ahem, President, I think we might have some misunderstanding..." Li Xin broke the silence, because the most important thing in the relationship between people is communication.

Luo Xue looked at Li Xin and asked, "Do you think you can do whatever you want in the Instructional Council just because you have the backing of the Grand Disciplinary Officer?"

Li Xin quickly waved his hand, "Really, really, it's not that. Sigh, I apologize for what the Grand Disciplinary Officer did. You can take the test according to the official procedure. If I fail, I will have no complaints about being eliminated."

"Oh, really? Does your record in the Sacred Land qualify you?" Luo Xue said, her eyes fixed on Li Xin, a hint of mockery on her lips.

Li Xin was embarrassed. It was like a weasel picking on a sick duck, bringing up the very thing he didn't want to talk about. "Is there any other way besides the sacred place? It's not convenient for me to go there."

"It's not convenient, or it's not possible?" Luo Xue said.

“It’s possible, but due to some personal reasons, I’m allergic to the Sacred Land. I think Black Rose will need other talents as well,” Li Xin said with a wry smile.

"Don't say I'm disrespecting the Grand Disciplinary Officer. Defeat me, and I'll accept your joining Black Rose. Otherwise, leave." Luo Xue pointed to the door and issued her final ultimatum.

Upon hearing this, Li Xin breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing the other party's unfriendly expression, he quickly frowned. "Is it also 15 seconds?"

"Enough with the nonsense. Either beat me down or disappear forever!" With that, Luo Xue vanished, her silver hair flashing, and in an instant, she was in front of Li Xin, delivering a chop to his throat.

She attacked ruthlessly right from the start; how fierce must she be in her hatred of evil? Li Xin quickly retreated to dodge. Luo Xue's skills were completely different from the previous ones; they were on a completely different level. She was extremely ruthless and incredibly lethal. Ultimately, he was in the wrong, so Li Xin continued to evade. Whether he could stay in Black Rose or not, he didn't want to cause trouble for Luo Jin.

boom……

A kick came flying, impossible to dodge. Li Xin blocked it with his elbow and was sent flying, writhing in pain.

Luo Xue flicked her silver ponytail. "Li Xin, is this all you've got? No wonder you had to use connections. It seems Luo Jin is all talk and no action."

Li Xin rubbed his arm and looked at Luo Xue, who looked like she was looking for trouble. "If I beat you, will this matter be over?"

"You're right!" a clear voice rang out.

Ss ...
With a burst of speed, Luo Xue accelerated and rushed in front of Li Xin. However, Li Xin's figure flickered and disappeared into thin air. When Luo Xue regained her senses of Li Xin's position, his fist was already coming. Luo Xue seemed to have been prepared. She rushed forward and immediately created distance, already guarding against Li Xin's moves while attacking.

Behind the door, the other five people were listening intently. "Damn, the chairman has lost his temper. Li Xin is doomed this time."

"Of all people this kid could have messed with, he managed to make the chairman angry."

Nan Kai and Fei Ruolin were both quite excited, but unfortunately, they didn't dare to open the door to take a look. Lu Shuai and the others also found out that Li Xin's long-lost uncle was actually Luo Jin, the Grand Disciplinary Officer. He probably wanted to make up for lost family ties, but ended up making things worse.
