“Snap…”
The sound of the red lotus school emblem dropping to the ground echoed softly. On the emblem, a crack simultaneously split it in two, shattering it completely.
Toudou Kirin stared blankly at the emblem lying on the ground, seemingly unable to grasp her abrupt defeat.
As for Fang Li, he restored Bo Xie to its inactive state, turned around, and shifted his gaze away from the sharp spikes that had sprung up from all around, aimed at Toudou Kirin. He then looked to the side.
There, Fan Xinglou and Claudia had completely different reactions.
“Although there are quite a few flaws, they are undoubtedly outstanding materials. It’s enough to get my blood boiling; I can’t help but want to get in on the action,” Fan Xinglou laughed heartily.
Claudia, on the other hand, gazed at Toudou Kirin’s severed emblem and muttered softly, “Even defeating the first-ranked ‘Shippuu Jinrai’? It seems we’ll have to conduct a more detailed investigation into this ‘Banyuu Tenra’ direct disciple.”
Although he had only recently entered the sect, this individual possessed too many factors that could not be ignored. Without a thorough investigation, Claudia, even as the Student Council President of Seidoukan, couldn’t fulfill his duties, and his curiosity remained unsatisfied.
With these thoughts in mind, Claudia couldn’t help but pat the concealed activation body hidden under his attire, lost in contemplation.
Lastly, there was a person who had a vehement reaction to the outcome, someone theoretically unrelated to the situation.
“Kirin!”
Toudou Kouichirou roared, his voice filled not only with roughness but also with anger.
Under the tremendous anger in his voice, Toudou Kirin shivered, and the aura of resolve that had emanated from her when she held the blade vanished. She reverted to being the timid, fragile girl she used to be, lowered her head, and timidly replied, “I-I’m sorry, Uncle.”
However, in the face of Toudou Kirin’s timid demeanor, Toudou Kouichirou became even more furious.
“You actually lost to a no-name student from Jie Long Seventh Institute, someone who didn’t even make it into the rankings!” Toudou Kouichirou was seething with anger.
Of course, Toudou Kouichirou would be angry.
Because, to Toudou Kouichirou, Toudou Kirin was an irreplaceable tool.
Yes, just a tool.
Toudou Kouichirou held a deep resentment towards Genestellars, a profound hatred. The reason was straightforward: Toudou Kouichirou was not a Genestellar himself, whereas his younger brother, Toudou Kirin’s father, was a Genestellar.
He possessed power far beyond what ordinary people could attain and was vastly superior to Toudou Kouichirou.
For this reason, the heir of the Toudou Style was identified as Toudou Kouichirou’s younger brother, the father of Toudou Kirin. As the elder brother, Toudou Kouichirou lost his status as the heir due to his status as a normal person.
Since then, Toudou Kouichirou developed an intense aversion to Genestellars, becoming one of the representatives of those who rejected Genestellars. Even when dealing with his own family members, like Toudou Kirin, he refused to acknowledge them as humans.
In theory, under these circumstances, Toudou Kouichirou should never have gotten close to Toudou Kirin. However, ever since Toudou Kirin enrolled, Toudou Kouichirou had been frequently visiting Seidoukan Academy. He took charge of all of Toudou Kirin’s affairs, unilaterally making decisions on her behalf.
“Today’s duel, initiated for the purpose of collecting weapon data, wasn’t decided by Toudou Kirin, but rather by Toudou Kouichirou.
In other words, Toudou Kirin had little personal freedom. All her actions were unilaterally decided by Toudou Kouichirou.
The reason for doing all this was simply because Toudou Kouichirou needed a tool, a tool that could help him rise to prominence. As a Leader candidate within the Integrated Enterprise Foundation, which operated Seidoukan Academy, Toudou Kouichirou naturally desired success.
If the student he had his eye on and nurtured could excel at Seidoukan and even achieve victory in the Festa, it would undoubtedly benefit Toudou Kouichirou’s career.
For this reason, Toudou Kouichirou regarded Toudou Kirin as a tool and demanded that she leave an unprecedented record, ensuring his rising status within the Integrated Enterprise Foundation.
It was under such strict demands that Toudou Kirin had no choice but to advance with a real blade, defeating numerous experts, including the former top-ranked fighter, ultimately claiming the title of Seidoukan’s finest.
However, today, Toudou Kirin had finally tasted defeat, and it had come at the hands of a no-name student from Mumei.
If this news were to spread, Toudou Kirin’s evaluation would undoubtedly plummet, affecting Toudou Kouichirou’s evaluation in turn.
With these thoughts in mind, Toudou Kouichirou was consumed by anger.
“Didn’t I tell you that losing was absolutely unacceptable?!”
Toudou Kouichirou took large strides towards Toudou Kirin. In the midst of her fearful expression, he raised his hand high.
“Ah…” Toudou Kirin instinctively closed her eyes, and her face finally displayed fear.
But, after waiting for quite some time, Toudou Kirin did not experience the expected sensation of pain.
Subsequently, she instinctively opened her eyes and found Toudou Kouichirou standing frozen in place, his hand raised high.
It wasn’t until this moment that Toudou Kirin realized.
A dagger was placed in front of Toudou Kouichirou’s neck.
It wasn’t the earlier Bo Xie; it was a sharp dagger reminiscent of a waning moon.
With this dagger in hand, Fang Li had somehow appeared behind Toudou Kouichirou, holding the weapon in reverse, its edge placed against Toudou Kouichirou’s throat.
Then, Fang Li spoke.
“Berating and mocking the defeated is a privilege of the victor. Can I ask you not to take away my privilege so easily?”
Clearly, it was a complaint, but at this moment, an indescribable aura surged forth from Fang Li’s body.
It was a murderous aura.
“You had no business here in the first place. Even if you came, couldn’t you just obediently stay on the sidelines?” Fang Li smirked.
“Now that I’ve intervened, don’t think you can walk away from this unscathed.”
The murderous aura suddenly expanded.
Toudou Kouichirou stood stiff as a board, not daring to make a single move. Cold sweat began to trickle down his face.”
