Yang Tian knew it was too late to escape!

Hence, fighting was the only choice!

A few minutes later…

“Squeak squeak squeak…”

That was not Drago, it was a mouse.

As soon as the squeak was heard, a little white mouse suddenly appeared before Yang Tian.

Behind it was a group of five people.

The most conspicuous among them was a middle-aged man walking in front at a quick pace, clad in yellow leather armor and holding a short spear. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes.

Behind him was a pretty and seemingly endearing woman clad in black. Following behind her were three young men.

As Yang Tian swept his gaze across them, he quickly approximated their abilities.

The highest level among them was the middle-aged man with the short spear. From the vigor he projected, he was at least a Class Five Warrior. The weakest among them was the woman in black, she was probably at Class Two or Class Three. The three young men’s levels were not more than Class Four.

Seeing a combination like that, Yang Tian was immediately alerted. He stared at the middle-aged man before him-this person was his biggest threat.

Very soon, the five of them stood 20 meters in front of Yang Tian.

“Captain, it really is Yang Tian!” The woman in black identified Yang Tian immediately, unlike the three men whom Yang Tian fought before who had to check the Warriormate when they saw him.

The middle-aged man nodded and raised his spear.

“Whitey, come back!” said the woman to the little white mouse that was standing on top of a rock.

The white mouse answered with two squeaks and went back to the woman with a few jumps. The woman extended her arm and the mouse hopped into her palm. She kept it in her crossbody bag.

Seeing that, Yang Tian understood right away that the little white mouse brought them to him.

However, Yang Tian was not surprised. If he had a pet dragon, other people would also have their pet Monsters.

When the woman in black kept her pet, she retreated to the back with the three young men, standing over 50 meters behind the middle-aged man.

“Yang Tian, I don’t have to kill you, but you need to follow me to Shenwei Military Academy,” said the man calmly, pointing at Yang Tian with his short spear.

Yang Tian laughed. “How is that different from getting killed? I’d rather die in your hands than be sent to Du Xiongwu!”

“Oh yeah, since you wanna kill me, I should at least know your name!” said Yang Tian, looking into the man’s eyes.

The middle-aged man replied, “Tianwei Military Academy, Zhao Shuangxing.”

Tianwei Military Academy!

As soon as he heard Zhao Shuangxing was from Tianwei, he smiled wryly and said, “Come on, there’s no need to fight since we’re from the same academy!”

Yang Tian had heard about Zhao Shuangxing when he joined the academy. He was the top 100 Warriors in Tianwei Military Academy, a certified top-tier Class Six. He was one of the characters that lower-class Warriors in the academy greatly admired.

“You were expelled from Tian,” said Zhao Shuangxing plainly, “but since you were one of us, if you can hold up for 30 minutes, I won’t come after you any further.”

Yang Tian nodded in agreement.

A Class Six Warrior had the qualifications to speak to Yang Tian in that fashion.

Yang Tian roughly evaluated his own ability-he could probably withstand a low or mid-level Class Six. However, he was not fully confident that he could beat a top-tier Class Sixer.

Even though they were in the same class, their abilities had big differences. In every individual, strength, speed, chosen Combat Skills, and combat experiences were totally unique.

Thunk!

Zhao Shuangxing jerked his short spear and dashed at Yang Tian who stood by the stream at lightning speed. The short spear suddenly grew into a full-sized long spear.

Whoosh!

Zhao Shuangxing arrived before Yang Tian in the blink of an eye. His long spear swept at Yang Tian, and a gust of wind tailed behind it.

Yang Tian was stunned by the agility Zhao Xuexing possessed despite his seemingly large size.

Clang!

Yang Tian moved his body sideways and raised his saber; it collided with the spear.

When the weapons collided, Yang Tian felt a strong vibration from the blade. His Dragon Pearl energy-filled arm numbed, and the saber almost flew off his hand.

‘What incredible power!’ Yang Tian thought. He tightened his grip on his weapon and took a few steps backward before he could dismount the momentum from the impact.

Zhao Shuangxing stopped his attack after merely that one hit. He looked at Yang Tian and said, “Powerful strength! Not bad! But the way you dismount the momentum was wrong. You should’ve used the power in your muscles to do that.”

‘Power in the muscles?’

Yang Tian frowned when he heard that.

Zhao Shuangxing did not leave Yang Tian any time to think as he suddenly shouted, “Watch out!”

Whoosh!

That time, the sound of the breeze created by the spear was even louder. Needless to say, Yang Tian could tell Zhao Shuangxing had put in even more power.

The first attack from Zhao Shuangxing was a side sweep. The second attack, however, was a smash.

He seemed to be using his long spear as a long stick when he performed those two moves.

The smash was aimed at the top of Yang Tian’s head, and its speed was astonishing!

Yang Tian was able to dodge that move, but he thought of Zhao Shuangxing’s remarks. Hence, he changed his mind and raised his saber to block the spear.

Twang!

The noise of weapons colliding sounded again.

Crack!

Upon the impact, strong energy went from the blade through Yang Tian’s body and ended up on the stone that Yang Tian was stepping on. The stone could not endure that amount of power and broke into pieces.

Yang Tian’s four limbs, filled with Dragon Pearl energy, were numbed by the vibration.

Unlike Yang Tian, when Warriors faced powerful attacks like that in a regular battle, they would usually dodge.

Just like before, Zhao Shuangxing retracted his spear and asked Yang Tian, “Do you feel it now? How the energy went through your body and transferred to the ground?”

Yang Tian nodded and suddenly understood his remarks.

Studying Combat Skills was, after all, training a Warrior’s ability to control his own physical power.

That physical power was the Warrior’s muscular power, as well as the power that the body had to endure while being attacked by enemies.

“Let’s go again!” After a brief moment of thought, Yang Tian suddenly got excited.

“Okay!” Zhao Shuangxing said, still expressionless.

Twang twang twang…

Zhao Shuangxing then started vigorously attacking Yang Tian.

With every oncoming hit, all Yang Tian did was block them. To others, Yang Tian seemed extremely passive for not counter-attacking.

“What’s up with Captain? Why doesn’t he just finish off Yang Tian?” One of the young men asked while watching the battle, feeling puzzled.

The woman in black chuckled and said, “The Captain is a top-tier Class Six Transhuman, he could easily kill him off if he wanted to. Haven’t you heard of how a cat plays around with a mouse before catching it? Our Captain is the cat, and Yang Tian is the mouse. When he’s done playing with him, he would naturally give him a deadly strike.”

After the woman’s explanation, the three young men nodded.

“Squeak squeak!”

Perhaps hearing the woman in black mention ‘mouse’, Whitey let out two little cries and crawled out of the bag, looking around with its big eyes.

There was a saying, ‘A mouse eyesight was only an inch far’. This little white mouse, however, was a mutated rodent. There was fear in its eyes after it scanned its surrounding once. It went back to the bag and shivered.
