Chapter 17: Additional Test
On top of the hall.
Honored guest seems to put more interest into Yi Xiang.
.
"Low level Iron expert easily kill Steel stage monster and he has not even serious yet, Headmaster, is it possible if I gave him another test? I am very curious about his capability and I would like to invite him into our guild if he is really capable" Sect Master of Iron Fist sect asked
.
Head of Night Moon Academy nods and sends a sound transmission into the standing examiner
(Sound transmission is like telepathy talking)
.
The examiner suddenly called Yi Xiang and said:
"Yi Xiang, you have the best record today on the combat test, Therefore, the sect master of Iron Fist sect was impressed and would like to give you another test to see your hunting capability. If you agree, our honored guest will reward you generously, if you decline, it is also fine."
.
Everyone who heard that was all surprised.
The reward is not important, what important here is the recognition from the Sect Master of Iron Fist Sect.
This is the first time in history that an Honored Guest come and put interest into one of the students.
.
Yi Xiang who heard that is now feeling on fire
"This is a good chance for me to prove myself so I can make my path easier in the future" Yi Xiang thought in his mind
.
"Its an honor to receive another test from the Honored guest, I dream to become a powerful Monster Hunter, I gladly accept the challenge, this is a good chance for me to develop myself. Thank you Sect Master"
.
Yi Xiang then ascends back into the arena
.
Sect Master of Iron Fist Sect nods his head and smiles
He says: "Zhou An!"
The figure who was standing behind the Sect Master then jumped and descended into the arena
He is in his forties, he wears a black cape, showing only his face and on his right hand he holds a brown wooden mage staff.
.
Zhou An cupped his hand into Yi Xiang and said:
"Zhou An from Iron Fist Sect, I wish junior Yi Xiang good luck!"
.
Zhou An then summons a star magic circle on the ground in front of him and a beast emerged from it.
He is another 'Summoner' type!
.
Rooooarr! Rooooarr!
This beast has a figure of a dinosaur with red-brown colored skin.
And below its jaw, there is a big round shaped chin attached to it.
This dinosaur is not specialized on biting but hammering its prey with its stone-like jaw
It is a Stonejaw-saurus
.
"What a terrifying monster"
"Can he really win against this"
Audiences are feeling very worried about Yi Xiang now.
.
Yi Xiang then summons his Iron Marlin Sword and Kappa Shield from his spatial rings.
.
"The battle begins!" The examiner said
.
The Stonejaw-saurus charges into Yi Xiang and use its back to attack Yi Xiang
.
Dushhh!
The Back of Stonejaw-saurus hits into Yi Xiang shield and Yi Xiang was pushed 3 steps behind.
The brute force difference is too great, although Yi Xiang pure defense is strong but the brute force between them is too great because this Stonejaw-saurus is at Late stage of Steel ranked.
.
Stonejaw-saurus did not give Yi Xiang any time to rest.
After pushing Yi Xiang using its back, it is now raising its head high and hammering its jaw straight into Yi Xiang.
.
"Shit!" Yi Xiang said while evading the vertical smash of Stonejaw-saurus.
.
BOOOOM!!
The ground was shattered and many rubble flew into random directions.
However, the moment Yi Xiang trying to get up into position after evading the attack by rolling to the right side.
Another attack coming in!
.
The tail of stonejaw-saurus swings into Yi Xiang
Yi Xiang quickly raises his arm and his shield clashes with the Stonejaw-saurus tail!
.
Dushhh!
Booommm!
Yi Xiang was pushed back 3 meters first then flew another 2 meters because of the impact.
.
"Haiya, This Zhou An is really giving his all against this kid" Sect Master of Iron Fist said.
.
Head Master of Night Moon Academy replied:
"That's okay, that boy has not given up, I am sure Zhao An knows to stop when he sees that boy is giving up".
.
Yi Xiang gets up after the previous attack and on his thought, he is brainstorming:
"Damn, the normal beast should not be this intelligent especially on reading human movement. So this is the power of the 'Summoner'"
"However, this beast is slow, I need to counter its signature attack"
.
Summoner is a really unique type of Mage.
It has the ability to summon the beasts that have merged within their soul.
Although when the beast is killed, the spiritual core will also break and the Summoner will not be able to summon the dying beast again.
Summoner can summon more than one beast at time and can control them as they like, making the beast is as smart as its summoner!
.
The Stonejaw-saurus charges into Yi Xiang again, when it is close enough to Yi Xiang, it instantly raises its head to deliver the Vertical Hammer Jaw!
.
"Imada!" Yi Xiang said to himself
.
BOOMM!!
.
The ground was hammered by Stonejaw-saurus, leaving a hole and rubble flew into a random direction.
However, Yi Xiang is not rolling either to the left or the right side.
Instead, the moment that stone-jaw came closer to him, he jumped straight into the air!
.
Seeing the Stonejaw-saurus still has its head stuck into the ground.
Yi Xiang who is now airborne, holding tight into his Iron Marlin Sword and vertically drop down into the flesh of Stonejaw-saurus near its nose.
.
Crutt!
The blood came out from Stonejaw-saurus flesh.
Although Stonejaw-saurus has a strong jaw and chin like a stone boulder, its other body parts are not.
However, Yi Xiang attack was not able to deal a fatal blow as Yi Xiang's Iron Marlin Sword is only an ordinary Steel-ranked sword and his brute force is only at Iron-ranked level.
.
"Shit! This is not enough!" Yi Xiang said while still holding into his Iron Marlin Sword that still stuck into Stonejaw-saurus flesh.
.
"Cihhh! This boy already knows this beast attack pattern. I must end this quick!"
Zhu An said while feeling the battle excitement.
.
The Stonejaw-saurus who looks in pain stands up and Yi Xiang is now lifted high into the air with his right hand still holding his sword that stuck into Stonejaw-saurus flesh
.
Roooaarrr!!
The beast growls really loud and swinging his head to the left and right continuously.
.
"Aaahh"
Yi Xiang lost his grip and is now falling down into the ground.
.
"Ko Ko Da!" Zhou An said.
(Ko Ko Da means "this is it")
.
Stonejaw-saurus swings its tail into Yi Xiang.
.
Booom!
Yi Xiang instantly raises his arm and his shield clashes again with the swing of Stonejaw-saurus tail.
However, this time Yi Xiang is defenseless on the airborne and do not gain enough momentum as when he was griping into the ground with his leg.
.
Cluuushhh… Dung Dungg…
Kappa Shield flew high into the sky and fell far from Yi Xiang.
Yi Xiang flew 7 meters to the left side.
The impact has forcefully made Yi Xiang separated with his Kappa Shield.
.
"Ahh this is the end"
"He put a good fight though"
The audience is busy with their thought.
.
"He has lost his weapon. Maybe this is the end" Head Master of the Academy said.
.
"This Zhao An looks enjoying himself from this fight. Haiya, he went a bit too far" Sect Master of Iron Fist Sect said.
