--- Chapter 64 ---

Hayate always trained every day.

Even knowing he couldn't move his body because of injuries won't stop him from training. He would be training in his mind instead, honing his skill spiritually.

Kaiju Creation materialized a landscape in Hayate's mind, growing to the current inner world he possessed.

Taekwondo was one of the martial arts Hayate mastered under his teacher's teaching. Nevertheless, taking a step further, he constructed more than just Taekwondo in his former world.

Hayate's Renewal Taekwondo truthfully was based on the ITF Taekwondo and modified to his fighting style.

It's an ideal technique for Hayate's trained body.

.

.

"Renewal Taekwondo." Hayate's voice entered her ears.

"3rd Stance Hwechook."

BAM! BAM! BAM!

Xiao Bing'er felt her head badly staggered by three consecutive attacks. Her vision blurred, and teacher Fran fully possessed her body instead.

As Fran possessed Xiao Bing'er, she waved Black Lily Sword to stop Hayate's movement.

"Baekdu." A knee kick smashed onto her chest.

BAM! Cough!

Fran was pushed away by Hayate, kneeling on the stage with a speechless look on her face. She had never seen or experienced this martial art.

'When did he...' She wiped some saliva off her lips.

"No..."

'It's my fault for overestimating my ability.'

Fran sighed and added, "I should know better. Master Hayate would grow more powerful than before."

Hayate gently stepped on the ground and propelled himself at her. His right leg widened and formed an arc, coming over Xiao Bing'er.

Fran lifted her body from the floor and entered a stance with Black Lily Sword in front.

She watched Hayate's leg and swayed her sword, noticing a red flash flying to her head.

"Hmm?" Fran frowned solemnly and pulled her sword back.

Clank!

A red-marked knife bounced in the air, but it was a distraction from Hayate.

"Arang."

Hayate's hand successfully grabbed onto her collars, which pulled her face closer to his elbow.

BAM!

Every lady in the vicinity, except Hayate's companion and obviously the excited Chu Yueli, scrunched their faces in pain.

They knew Hayate wouldn't be a gentleman or hold back his attack, yet this caught them off guard. A beautiful face is the value of a woman.

Hayate's elbow planted onto his opponent's face, crushing her nose slightly.

Fran decided to stop playing around and created another Black Lily Sword. A wave of flowery petals surged from the floor.

BOOM!

Hayate's body flew into the air and landed a few meters away from Xiao Bing'er. He grasped the bounced red-marked knife and looked at her.

Fran breathed calmly and used half of her disciple's profound energy.

Clank!

Hayate noticed a white petal approaching him like a bullet. He parried with his red-marked knife and saw 300 more petals following after.

"World Ode of the Phoenix." His golden eyes shone with a noble red light.

Fran's eyes widened because her sight suddenly filled with red butterflies. She raised her palm to control flower petals but noticed everything immediately was burned to nothingness.

"Ssamsu Taekkyeon: Flame Pillar." Hayate's shoes were burned by Phoenix Flame, revealing his bare feet.

Fran dodged to the left and saw an enormous flame pillar burst from the ground. "This is another new technique..." She muttered while scanning the stage.

"Yes." Hayate appeared and swept her leg from below.

Fran quickly stabbed her Black Lily Sword and bent her disciple's body, preventing herself from falling.

She fought Hayate back by wrapping her leg around his leg and pulling her body upward. She tried to twist his bones apart from each other.

Swoosh!

"Eh?" Fran tilted her disciple's head.

Her entire body abruptly rotated in the air and locked between Hayate's thighs.

She naturally pushed her legs against the ground and lifted Hayate's body.

It caused them to end in a weird position, but Hayate casually wrapped his arm around her left arm. His unrestricted knee planted on her face once again.

BAM!

"Uugh." A green light gathered on Xiao Bing'er.

Hayate freed himself and kicked her, somersaulting in the air gracefully.

"Flame Pillar."

As Hayate landed on the ground, he launched a wide flame pillar like before and engulfed half of the stage in pure heat.

BOOM!

Fran was swept over by a flame pillar and disappeared from everyone's sight.

Ling Wuguo shook his head in disappointment because Xiao Bing'er still lost to Hayate in the end.

He was about to end this match and saw rainbow rays.

The flame became clear, revealing Xiao Bing'er, who was in a completely new look.

Xiao Bing'er wore a white silk robe similar to Fran's, adorning sunflower patterns. Her homeless-like appearance has vanished, replaced by a graceful young lady.

Nonetheless, the most apparent change was her hair which had become blonde with a shade of black.

In the end, Xiao Bing'er couldn't utilize Fran's core to its full potential.

A calm yet beautiful whistle escaped her mouth.

Hayate narrowed his gaze slightly because he knew Fran's next move. He ignited Phoenix Flame around his body, repelling the incoming gust.

Fran charged Xiao Bing'er with natural energy. Her blonde hair gained a lush green light, enchanting her appearance further.

However, Hayate knew it was not just enchanting her appearance.

Xiao Bing'er was barely at the mid-stage of Spirit Profound Realm a few seconds ago.

And she reached peak Earth Profound Realm now.

"Nature's Gift." A melodious voice echoed in the arena.

Swoosh! Bam!

Hayate dodged an arrow by a few millimeters. He frowned and blasted himself toward Xiao Bing'er.

A pair of fiery wings appeared on his back, increasing his speed by several folds.

Fran jumped back and stared at Hayate's golden eyes. "Nature's Call."

Crack!

The ground crushed into pieces and turned into a rock shield around her.

Hayate didn't care much and blasted the whole shield with a flame pillar.

BOOM!

A cloud of dust and smoke flew everywhere, covering the entire stage.

Fran appeared behind Hayate and tried to wave her Black Lily Sword, yet a kick came next to her face.

'Guard.' She raised one of her arms.

"Renewal Taekwondo: Guard Breaker." Hayate's leg was close to her face and dropped down, breaking her guard.

When Hayate's leg landed on the ground, he lifted his other leg by doing a whole body rotation.

Bam!

Fran felt her disciple's face being violated by Hayate's knee again.

Twitch!

"Can you stop?!" She was annoyed.

"No," Hayate responded flatly.

There is a reason why Hayate attacked Xiao Bing'er on the face, or more specifically, her head.

He wanted to sever Fran's spiritual connection to her.

Xiao Bing'er is weak. Still, with Fran's transformation, her body became Kaiju-like temporarily.

Hayate, as the only genuine Kaiju User, knew every part of the sensation when connected with Kaiju Core.

BAM!

BAM!

BAM!

Fran and Hayate sent a barrage of attacks at each other.

They destroyed half of the arena, causing Ling Wuguo's lips to twitch in disbelief.

Putting that aside, everyone couldn't believe their eyes because Xiao Bing'er and Hayate's movements were not watchable.

Even Ling Yuefeng and Ling Kun could barely watch their fights.

Hayate would put Xiao Bing'er in a tight position, attacking her relentlessly like no tomorrow. Then, Xiao Bing'er would counter back by waving her thin sword around.

It continues for 10 minutes.

Fran breathed heavily because her disciple's body couldn't bear such an intense fight. Even with Nature's recovery, her disciple's muscles would get exhausted in five minutes.

Not to mention Hayate's 3rd Stance Hwechook caused damage to her disciple's vision. It's not an immediate effect because she felt it just now.

"Hmm?" Fran stepped back because feeling lightheaded.

"What?!"

Hayate throughly wrapped his hand with Phoenix Flame and commented, "I thought you'd notice at this point."

"You needed a strong host."

"Xiao Bing'er hardly could use 10% of your power, but you're pushing her to the limit."

"Let's not talk about her twig-like physical strength. Her weak mind would get shattered in a few minutes."

He threw his red-marked knife at Fran and added, "You wanted to test something?"

"How hilarious."

Clank!

His red-marked knife bounced in the air again.

Fran bit her lips in frustration and pulled a tree branch out of nowhere, transforming it into a bow.

An energy arrow rested on the bow strings.

"I'm going to defeat you!" She pulled the bowstring with all her strength.

SWOOSH! BOOM!

A terrifying attack quickly was released by Fran, and Ling Wuguo hurriedly created a barrier.

Hayate's golden eyes gained a bird-like pupil for a moment.

"One Feather." He lifted his right hand lightly.

A bright red feather burst from the ground and clashed with Fran's attack.

BOOM!

An explosion occurred on the stage.

"Two Feather."

Another bright red feather passed through the explosion and reached over Fran.

She inactively created a series of rock barriers and watched them break instantly.

Her disciple's body trembled and fell to the ground.

"I thought you'll entertain me more." Hayate stood in front of Fran with a red-marked knife in his hand.

"You're stronger than before but still weaker than me."

He flicked his finger and threw the red-marked knife between Fran's thighs.

Stab!

Fran's expression was grim.

"You've lost, Fran." He lastly added.

Ling Wuguo carefully raised his hand and declared, "Kurogami Hayate is the winner!"
