god of tomorrow

"???"

The Barretts were stunned; they couldn't catch a glimpse of Gawain, only seeing a series of plumes of smoke and dust.

He didn't have time to think; his body reacted before his brain could. Knowing he couldn't take the punch head-on, he raised his five fingers and pushed them in front of him, briefly unleashing magic power to create a thick, semi-transparent magic shield.

boom!

The fist struck the shield, and time stood still for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, cracks appeared on the surface of the shield, and a terrifying impact spread along the shield, sweeping away the dust and forming a visible white shockwave.

What kind of monster is this? This guy is an 18-year-old freshman!

Professor Glenn, are you sure it was me testing his qualifications, not him testing mine?

Barrett's pupils contracted sharply, his gaze piercing through the cracked magic shield to meet Gawain's eyes, where he saw the desire for victory.

He wants to win!

boom!

The residual force of the first punch was still reverberating in the air when Gao Wen had already taken a step back. Under the burst of meditation, his muscles tensed and he instantly accelerated to deliver the second punch.

The air was compressed instantly, producing a sharp explosion, and the punch, with a force of up to 400 points, shattered the magic shield.

The howling wind stung Barrett's cheeks, making him no longer dare to be careless or underestimate his opponent. He stomped heavily on the ground, leaped backward into the air, and used the technique of magic release in mid-air. Magic burst out under his feet, allowing him to fly short distances as if stepping on stairs.

The key to this technique is not flying or hovering, but rather changing the trajectory of movement in an instant. The unpredictable and ever-changing maneuverability makes it difficult for the opponent to catch the timing of the spell.

In the instant of his fall, Barrett unleashed his magic once more, maneuvering continuously in mid-air and creating a series of deafening explosions.

Gawain stood calmly in place, his eyes fixed on Barrett. He had not yet mastered the technique of magic release, but he knew very well that Barrett's magic reserves were most likely lower than his, and he would run out of energy after a few more uses.

No rush, let him jump for a while!

High in the sky, Barrett, who was continuously releasing magic, saw that Gawain was calm and rational, and had not been at a loss or passively attacked when facing flying units. He decisively stepped into the air and accelerated to land on the ground.

Right now, from this angle, cast the spell!

Right now, from this angle, watch the punch!

The fists whistled, the roar was deep and muffled.

Barrett saw a series of explosive shockwaves, stirred up by the force of the punches, rushing towards him. Overwhelmed with grief and anger, he stopped casting his spell, released his magic, and leaped into the air to the side.

Gao Wen stomped his toes on the ground, relentlessly pursuing his opponent without giving him any breathing space.

Barrett was supposed to test Gawain, but instead Gawain chased after Barrett and attacked him. The turn of events was too abrupt, and everyone except Gawain felt uncomfortable.

On the sidelines, Ge Lan was expressionless, and his expression was unreadable.

Leo was shocked, but his face remained calm, as if he had known all along. Indeed, he was Gawain's physical education teacher, and Gawain's exceptional fighting skills were all thanks to him.

While feeling smug, I was also relieved that I had severed ties with Van Sen early on; it was truly a brilliant move.

After a brief moment of shock, Buber was overjoyed, unable to suppress the smile in his eyes. He had no particular thoughts, nor did he want to take credit; he was simply happy for Gawain.

Frey adjusted her slipping gold-rimmed glasses, her mouth involuntarily forming an "O" shape. The thought of her own inaction was disheartening; Gawain was so powerful because he skipped her meditation class.

If I had known being a teacher would be such a failure, I should have just married someone else back then and stayed home to be a wife, mother, and babysitter.

wrong!

Is it that she doesn't want to breastfeed? She doesn't have any children at all.

The more Frey thought about it, the angrier she became. She looked at Glenn's thin back with resentment. "It's all your fault, you bastard, that I couldn't have a child!"

Inside the arena, due to Gao Wen's simple and brutal fighting style, the entire ring was already covered with rubble and dust. The dust, stirred up by the high-speed movement, formed thick curtains that obscured vision and sealed off the entire arena.

Barrett flashed several times in quick succession, suddenly regaining his footing. Taking advantage of this brief blind spot, he quickly concealed his presence, like a true assassin, silently hiding in a corner of the arena.

Don't panic. This kid can't see right now, and he doesn't know magic. The advantage is on my side.

boom!

Without warning, a fist pierced through the thick curtain of dust and rapidly enlarged in front of Barrett.

The fist pierced the air, instantly clearing away the dust in front of it.

In the instant their eyes met, Barrett saw absolute confidence in Gawain's eyes.

Gotcha!

Chapter 52 is another exhilarating and thrilling battle.

The punch was powerful and unexpected; Barrett never imagined that Gawain could accurately lock onto him amidst the dense fog.

This is beyond the range of keen perception; it's either magic or a foul!

Barrett strongly suspects that he has been set up, and that the organizers and referees were all on Gawain's side from beginning to end.

A group of people are acting in his shoes!

Caught completely off guard, Barrett watched helplessly as the fist rapidly enlarged in front of him. Apart from hastily erecting a magical shield and closing his eyes to pray, there was nothing he could do.

Even a fully extended shield couldn't withstand Gawain's powerful punch, let alone this barely holding-up shield.

boom!

The fist struck, and the shield shattered instantly.

The force of the punch continued, striking Barrett's face, which was closed in prayer, with a dull thud that made your teeth ache.

A terrifying force surged through his limbs and bones, and Barrett's tall figure instantly stiffened. First, his head tilted back, then his neck stretched, and then his whole body flew out like a kite with a broken string, drawing a messy arc in the air.

Splat!

Blood splattered in mid-air, Barrett's face was blurred, and his back slammed hard against the magic circle wall around the arena. The Second Ape slowly flowed along the light wall and collapsed to the ground without moving.

it's over!

Gao Wen stood there with one hand on his hip, not adding any more blows. They were all classmates; there was no need to fight over a single assessment match.

奖励入手，职业等级来到14级，财富超过1w金币，可以充值2级永久会员，100点自由属性则被高文以3:3:3:1的方式砸向速度、力量、耐力、魔力四项基础数值。

Without the added charm, Gawain felt that this thing was completely useless; it could only attract the most wicked and nothing else.

Admittedly, the "Great Vengeful Spirit" can bring daily quests, but even the Great Vengeful Spirit is made of flesh and blood and is afraid of pain and doesn't want to be beaten. Currently, daily quests can only be continued by hiring training partners with extra money; it's about buying quests with money, not attracting and capturing them with charm.

Take Hervy again as an example. If charm really worked, the red-haired guy would have been completely infatuated with her and would want to eat a big stick instead of a big stick.

It turned out that the people who were pestering him were actually entrapment, after he was after ten million.

In conclusion, financial power is the true allure.

What a load of rubbish charm stats! They look good but are useless. If he actively adds points to them later, he'll be a complete idiot!

The wind on the arena suddenly stopped, the dust settled, and Gao Wen looked towards the sidelines, waiting for the referee to announce the result.

No one spoke; everyone remained expressionless until Booth came out.

"Huh, what am I seeing? Could this be...?"

Emperor Buper stepped forward and exclaimed in astonishment, "Fate Magic: Guardian Serpent! The guardian magic of the Goddess of Summer among the Four Fates. Its flames have the miraculous healing power to quickly soothe wounds and remove negative effects. Incredible! Even at the Royal Magic University, this is a very advanced healing magic. I never expected that Barrett would master it. No wonder he is a top student in the History Department. He is indeed a genius."

He was so shocked that he made a loud noise, which Gawain on the stage heard clearly.

Leo: Traitor, we're in cahoots with Gawain, why are you bragging... Oh, I get it, no wonder everyone says you're incredibly smart, you sly fox.

Frey: You bald bastard who peeks at my butt three times a day, what are you pretending to be shocked for? You're cheating!

Shocked, Büper instinctively revealed the magic Barrett had used, an act tantamount to leaking the exam questions to the candidates—a foul. Whether it was intentional or unintentional, the other two judges knew the answer.

Glenn knew what was going on and snorted, "Professor Buber, you're talking too much."

"I'm sorry, Professor Glenn. I was wrong just now. Barrett's talent is just too amazing. I carelessly violated the rules of the arena and am willing to accept the punishment." Buper humbly admitted his mistake, and his attitude was very sincere.

"That's enough, there must be no second time..."

The main purpose of this assessment is to test Gao Wen's true level. Who wins or loses is not important. After giving Bu Bo a brief comment, Ge Lan stopped pursuing the matter and slowly said, "Gao Wen, the assessment is not over yet."

Gawain blinked and pointed at Barrett in the corner of the ring, saying, "Professor Glenn, if I had rushed up there just now, and Senior Barrett hadn't had the strength to fight back, wouldn't he have died at my hands..."

“If you had continued attacking, the referee would have intervened and declared you the winner. That’s the rule of the ring. Remember that next time,” Glen replied.

The game continued as long as the referee didn't call a stop. Gao Wen's decision not to finish off the opponent was commendable, but it was only commendable and not encouraged by the rules.

These days, it's so hard to be a good person!

Gao Wen cursed his bad luck. If he had known that the arena was all about authenticity, he wouldn't have pretended to be such a nice junior.

There's also the dog system, which insists on announcing that the mission is complete even though it's not finished yet.

AI assistant: "..."

Is it possible that the system's judgment on a task originates from the host's own judgment?

If things really slip out of your control, you won't be happy!

In the corner of the arena, a phantom of a serpent formed from flames emerged from Barrett's body. Its touch on his skin did not cause burning pain, but rather felt like a warm, gentle hand soothing Barrett's injuries.

Enveloped in crimson flames, Barrett's bloodied and swollen face healed at a visible speed, and the bruises and abrasions caused by the impact, including sprains in his limbs, all vanished in the sacred flames.

Destiny Magic: Summer of the Four Seasons: Guardian Serpent.

"Ouch! That hurts so much!"

Barrett, on his deathbed, suddenly sat up and did a sit-up. Seeing that Gawain hadn't taken the opportunity to finish him off, but instead waited in place, he couldn't help but show a hint of gratitude.

Thanks to my junior for showing mercy, otherwise he would have been swept away in one fell swoop today, and in front of the department head and three teachers, he would have lost face big time.

Don't look at me like that, it makes it seem like I don't want to take you away in one fell swoop!

What else could Gawain say? Now that things had come to this, he certainly couldn't say that he didn't finish the job because he wasn't familiar with the rules: "Senior, you don't need to be so polite. I want to win fair and square. If possible, I'd also like to see your magic to make up for my lack of experience fighting formal mages."

A clear smile, upright and honest.

With his refreshing smile, remarkable charm, and honest, upright words, Barrett was deeply moved, and even the referee on the sidelines, Frey, was stunned, marveling at how outstanding young people these days are.
