Chapter 61 Indeed a Pervert (Requesting Monthly Pass)
Lin Xi looked at the long-haired youth opposite her and similarly furrowed her brows.
She leaned close to Lin Rui's ear and asked, "Who is he?"
"His name is Lu Fang, also known as 'Little Lu Bu.' He's a member of our martial arts club's competing team and will be my classmate later."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Lin Rui, rubbing his temple with some distress, said to Lu Fang, "Lu Fang, how about we change the day? Today is not convenient for me."
He needed to take his sister to her room and familiarize her with the martial arts club and the environment of Mingde University—it was quite busy.
"Not convenient?" Lu Fang's expression turned cold. He looked Lin Rui up and down, his words containing defiance and persistence, "Lin Rui, you couldn't be scared, could you? Scared to lose to me? How about this, I'll only use 20% of my strength."
He had just seen Lin Rui entering the operating room with Fang Ranran.
It was clear that the president had come today for Lin Rui, showing that Fang Ranran placed much more importance on Lin Rui than on him, Lu Fang.
The two of them were both fifth-eight term heteromorphic students, but his own past reputation far exceeded that of Lin Rui.
Lu Fang wondered what was so special about this guy, to be so highly regarded by Fang Ranran, and why Nolan Wei thought he, Lu Fang, was far less than Lin Rui?
Lin Xi's gaze immediately turned sharp, her cheeks puffing up slightly in displeasure.
Lu Fang's words irritated her. Who was this guy to look down on her brother? Some 'Little Lu Bu'—Lin Xi had never heard this name in the top ten of the fifth-eight term.
Lin Rui felt a bit resigned, thought for a moment, then nodded, "Since you insist, let's have a spar here without making a fuss of going to the arena. Just a few moves right here should be fine."
Lin Rui thought that it wouldn't take much time anyway and should be quickly resolved.
"Good!"
Lu Fang, spirited, took down the weapon bag he was carrying on his back, pulled out some parts and assembled them into two short halberds, each 1.2 meters long.
Then, looking puzzled, he asked Lin Rui, "Aren't you using a weapon?"
Lin Rui shook his head. "No need."
Lin Rui had left his second-class training knife on the road, and the single molecule combat knife he had taken was seized by the police as evidence.
But using his palms was the same for him.
Lin Rui wasn't being careless or underestimating his opponent; rather, he had gauged Lu Fang's physical condition and spiritual power strength quite accurately through electromagnetic induction.
Although Lu Fang was stronger than Lin Rui in every aspect, the margin was limited, and in terms of combat skills alone, the opponent couldn't match him no matter what.
However, Lu Fang's pupils suddenly sharpened. Did this guy dare to underestimate him like this?
He took a deep breath, stood three meters in front of Lin Rui with a gaze as sharp as a knife, and said, "Then be careful! Don't say you weren't paying attention or didn't react quickly enough when you lose."
At that moment, on the fourth floor of the club activity area, Yu Feicui, having just organized the materials needed for Lin Xi's transfer, walked out of the office.
Through the glass curtain wall, she saw the scene below and immediately furrowed her brows, pausing her steps.
Yu Feicui looked on with slight concern but showed no intention to intervene.
For Lin Rui to establish himself as the king of this club and secure the position of core main player, he had to use his own strength to subdue these proud and talented martial artists.
Sports clubs always followed this rule: the strong are revered; mere commands from leaders won't win people's genuine respect.
Yu Feicui was worried about Lu Fang.
The practical combat ability Lin Rui displayed in the attack just now was simply stunning! It was utterly foolish of Lu Fang to challenge him now.
Lu Fang's talent was slightly stronger than Nolan Wei's, ranking at the tail end of the top ten, but far below Lin Rui.
Lin Rui was undeniably of the 'hall of fame' level, equivalent to a king-tier monster of the Sky Extreme Star!
According to the federal martial arts association's overall scoring mechanism, Lin Rui was an S-rank lieutenant at this stage.
In the same realm, Lu Fang only had the share to be overwhelmed.
Yu Feicui hoped that after this battle, Lu Fang's spirit and will wouldn't be too severely damaged.
"I'm watching!" Lin Rui said, eyeing Lu Fang's shoulders, "Make your move—"
Lu Fang was unapologetic; a pair of silver-white halberds swept through the air creating twin silver moons and, in a flash, chopped down in front of Lin Rui.
The foundational martial arts he practiced was actually a very rare one, "Yuan Magnet Halberd"!
Not only could it generate electricity from magnets, making both his halberd and body speed astonishingly fast, but it could also attract opponents and repel them far away.
However, the attracting power of Lu Fang's halberd had no effect today; Lin Rui's figure was not influenced at all, drifting backward like a falling leaf.
Lu Fang's brow involuntarily furrowed, sensing that Lin Rui had generated the same magnetic force around himself, achieving a repulsive effect due to like charges.
This meant that this guy in front of him had even greater control over electromagnetism than him.
Without any hesitation, Lu Fang, like a fierce tiger, continued swinging his halberd, lunging toward Lin Rui.
But in that instant, he saw that suddenly by Lin Rui's side there appeared lightning fire twin snakes as thick as three fingers, and instead of retreating, Lin Rui moved forward, charging like a cannonball.
This time it was opposite charges attracting!
The more gracefully Lin Rui had retreated earlier, the more fiercely he attacked now!
"Red Thunder Snake Hand?"
Lu Fang's pupils contracted again, caught off guard by Lin Rui's strike.
His pair of halberds were spread like wings, utterly unable to defend.
Nevertheless, he managed to change the magnetic properties twice in a very short time, but still couldn't succeed, as Lin Rui predicted his moves accurately.
Lu Fang, left with no choice, eventually had to abandon his halberds and crossed his arms in front of his chest to brace for Lin Rui's strike.
"Boom!"
With that loud crash, the ground within 10 meters around them trembled slightly.
Lu Fang's body had been blasted away by Lin Rui's palm, smashing into the wall behind him.
The high-strength alloy wall even had two shallow pits dented by Lu Fang's body.
Although Lu Fang managed to stabilize himself against the wall, a trace of blood spilled from his mouth.
His arms drooped powerlessly to his sides, his face looking extremely grim as he faced Lin Rui.
Lin Rui's strike had fractured both of his arms!
What made Lu Fang even more uncomfortable was that he had only managed to use one move in front of Lin Rui!
Lu Fang stared at Lin Rui as if seeing his teammate anew, his voice strained, "I lost!"
Lin Rui had already retracted his stance, "You gave way!"
He looked at Lu Fang with a slight apology, "Sorry about that, your strength is great; I couldn't hold back. Do you need me to accompany you to the surgery room?"
"No need, I can manage on my own!" Lu Fang replied coldly and turned, heading toward the direction of the surgery room.
Lu Fang's expression was peculiar; Lin Rui saying he was strong, and hinting that he had to go all out to defeat him quickly, lightened his mood a bit.
But this guy's strength is truly overpowering!
With such power, why hadn't he entered the top ten competitors?
No wonder President Fang values him so highly, and Nolan Wei also admitted he is not his equal, mentioning how fortunate Mingde University was to have him, potentially going far with Lin Rui in the Sixty-Four Champion Tournament.
Lu Fang had been displeased before, but now he was utterly convinced.
Lin Rui's martial arts talent was indeed freakish!
Lin Xi saw this scene, her lips curling into a slight smile.
She knew Lin Rui was still considering the face of Lu Fang, his teammate.
If Lin Rui had used a sword, or combined it with his Sword Control and Needle Control techniques, Lu Fang might not have been able to make a single move.
