Fate Reignites: My Rampage in a World Where Time Stops-Chapter 38: Weapon Master Ji Huai

While the students from the four square formations were exclaiming in admiration at Ji Huai's composed counterattacks, a sudden change occurred.

A vine abruptly shot up from the grass not far in front of Ji Huai and instantly lashed towards his face.

Making an ostensible move while secretly altering the path! The vine that had overtly whipped towards him was just a ruse by Dong Cun to confuse Ji Huai!

Ji Huai's expression remained calm. He swept the shield that had just blocked the fireball, its edge becoming as sharp as a blade in an instant, slicing the previously hidden vine right in the middle.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!"

Three sharp sounds of cutting wind howled through the air.

At the moment Ji Huai dealt with the sneak-attacking vine, Zhu Yuwei finally found her chance to strike. Her sharp, slender ice needles, with almost no air resistance, were so fast that only afterimages were left.

Ji Huai slightly shifted his body, about to dodge the three ice needles headed his way, when his face suddenly changed color. With a swift move, he raised his shield to an empty space beside him.

"Ding, ding, ding!"

Three crisp sounds rang out as the surface of the shield was instantly pinned with three ice needles.

With a flick of his shield, which turned back into a long sword, Ji Huai gave Liu Xinran a deep look—a seemingly invisible presence in the arena—before reversing his grip on the long sword and charging towards Zhang Yangwang.

The moment Ji Huai revealed his abilities, Zhang Yangwang had already stopped his charge. As impulsive as he might be, he wouldn't recklessly engage in close combat with an armed adversary.

However, Ji Huai's timing was so critical that their distance had shortened to less than five meters.

Seeing Ji Huai rapidly approaching, Zhang Yangwang panicked, letting out a scream before he hurled a fireball in disarray.

That fireball wasn't even aimed at Ji Huai, instead flying off towards another direction.

Ironically, two vines happened to pass by at that moment. Before they could strike Ji Huai, they were instantly turned to ash by Zhang Yangwang's fireball.

Worst team-mate ever!

The other four cursed inwardly, but at this point, they had no choice but to save Zhang Yangwang.

One of the water streams circling around Qin Chuan shot out close to the ground, transforming into a Water Hand right under Ji Huai's feet, reaching for Ji Huai's ankles with force.

Liu Xinran remained silent, intently watching the Water Hand controlled by Qin Chuan, while covertly using her abilities to twist the light, affecting Ji Huai's judgment of the Water Hand's position.

In an instant, Zhu Yuwei shot out five or six ice needles in a goddess-scattering-flowers move, attempting to block all of Ji Huai's possible movements.

The vine wielded by Dong Cun, this time targeting the stupefied Zhang Yangwang and not Ji Huai, was meant to bind Zhang Yangwang and pull him back to safety.

Just as the rescue operation was about to succeed, Ji Huai suddenly erupted in power.

"Clang—"

With a muffled sound, a very loose iron boot appeared around Ji Huai's ankle, blocking the Water Hand. As Ji Huai's foot slipped out with ease, it was as though he had shed a weight, his speed surging even more.

Ji Huai quickly reassembled his long sword into a shield, blocking all the incoming ice needles. Then, to the astonishment of the onlookers, he turned it once again into a metal whip.

"Crack!"

The sound of the whip echoed, the wildly dancing metal whip entangling Zhang Yangwang's waist before Dong Cun's vine could, then with a forceful pull by Ji Huai, Zhang Yangwang was drawn close to him.

The last thing Zhang Yangwang saw before losing consciousness was a fist that kept enlarging before his eyes.

Knocking out Zhang Yangwang with a punch, Ji Huai's whip moved like a venomous snake, accompanied by a crisp "crack" as it lashed out instantly towards Liu Xinran.

Qin Chuan's expression changed rapidly, and he swiftly raised his hand.

Two streams of water burst towards Liu Xinran, and because they were closer, they intercepted in front of her first, forming a curtain of water.

The moment the whip broke through the water curtain, the splashing droplets transformed into a hand that tightly grabbed the whip, Dark Current Binding immediately activated, rendering the whip completely powerless.

On the other side, Dong Cun, who had failed to take Zhang Yangwang, also reacted very quickly, the empty lash of his whip turned and shot towards Ji Huai's direction.

Ji Huai's weapon was already bound!

Everyone's hearts surged with excitement. Even though Zhang Yangwang was gone, they finally saw a chance for victory at this moment!

Zhu Yuwei's hands were overflowing with cold air, ice needles ready to launch, waiting for the vine to hit Ji Huai.

Under the expectant gazes of the four, Ji Huai lifted his other hand that had yet to be raised.

"Dingling~"

The sound of metal rings striking each other sent a chill down the spines of the four.

In the next instant, Ji Huai held a long knife in his other hand, swiftly cutting through the vines, changing direction to charge at Dong Cun, while at the same time, he yanked hard on the whip in his hand.

The metal whip locked by Qin Chuan broke off directly and reassembled into a short blade.

"Tap tap tap~"

Following the rapid steps of the sprint, Ji Huai, wielding a long knife and short blade in both hands, launched an airtight offense, slicing the oncoming vines time and time again, and then with a fierce leap, he jumped over the Water Hand probing from beneath his feet.

The short blade turned, the handle knocking heavily on Dong Cun's chin at the same time, Ji Huai, as if he had eyes on his back, spun the long knife's blade into a round shield, instantly blocking the ice needles shooting at him from behind.

Dong Cun fell to the ground heavily, with his eyes rolling back after the heavy blow to his chin. Ji Huai reassembled the round shield into a long knife and, like an agile old ape entering the forest, he turned and charged at Zhu Yuwei with swift, ghost-like steps.

Zhu Yuwei's expression changed rapidly.

The strike just now had used up all of her remaining ice needles.

Watching Ji Huai getting closer and closer, a stream of water suddenly appeared in Zhu Yuwei's hand, which she instinctively grasped. The chilling burst transformed the water into ice and simultaneously gave Qin Chuan a grateful look.

"Crack——"

Accompanied by the sound of freezing, a layer of frost quickly formed on one of Ji Huai's feet as he stepped within two meters of Zhu Yuwei, halting his forward momentum.

He pushed hard with his other leg, retreating backwards while his hand turned the short blade back into a whip, lashing at Zhu Yuwei. At the same time, the long knife reformed into a shield protecting his face and body, blocking Zhu Yuwei's instantly-fired ice needles.

A water curtain quickly positioned itself in front of Zhu Yuwei, but the metal whip seemed to have anticipated this, deliberately swinging in a wide arc, wrapping around her slender waist from behind.

A tremendous force burst from the metal whip, and the next moment, Zhu Yuwei lost her balance, flying towards Ji Huai with a shocked cry.

Ji Huai made a motion as if throwing a punch and then flung Zhu Yuwei aside. He shook the leg that had just thawed after stepping out of the freezing range, turning to pounce on Qin Chuan. The long whip and round shield disassembled simultaneously, reassembling into a Heavy Halberd, slashing straight down at Qin Chuan's head.

"Clang——"

The sound of metal colliding echoed throughout the area.

Two Water Hands clapped together, firmly clamping the Spear Blade just above Qin Chuan's head, preventing it from advancing even an inch.

In the colorless transparent water, numerous dark particles churned, occasionally flashing a cold glint under the floodlights, like a dark star revolving.

Qin Chuan tossed away the bag of iron powder, his eyes sharpening.

Zhou Zixiu's words echoed in his mind.

Never underestimate the power of water.
