Infinite Divine Gears in the City

Chapter 27



Chapter 27

The expressions on their faces were as if their wives had cheated right in front of them.

“Ay…”

Li Rui sighed. Even without lifting up his head, Li Rui could already fell the ‘killing intention’ from the opposite parties. There really was nothing that he could do about the jealousy of these teenage boys.

Even for someone as mature as him, he would sometimes feel himself falling for it, and these were just young teenage boys who were packed with hormones.

Maybe it’s was because they weren’t given enough work that they still had the time to care about all this.

Perhaps all the mock and practice exams were not enough to keep them busy. They should be given more then!

“Eh?”

She was clinging onto Li Rui’s neck like a dog, and Luo Li took a deep breath.

“Captain, you smell so much better!”

“Huh?”

He lifted his arm and smelt himself but there was nothing other than the smell of detergent.

“Li Rui!!!”

A loud, fierce roar interrupted their conversation. Li Rui looked up and saw Yi KaiCheng giving him a dead stare with his bloody eyes.

Pat~

A pair of white gloves were thrown right in front of him.

Li Rui frowned and slowly picked them up. He returned them to Yi KaiCheng and said in a subtle tone, “The school is also a home; we have to maintain its cleanliness. You should sort out your trash before throwing it. Don’t randomly throw your trash around in the future.”

Yi KaiCheng’s face was flushing so much that it was turning purple in color. He pointed at Li Rui with his trembling fingers. “You… you…”

“What did I do?”

“You humiliated me! I want a duel with you!”

“Huh?”

Li Rui had a full head of questions as he couldn’t understand what the matter was with these kids.

“You want to challenge me?”

“It’s not a challenge but a battle!”

Yi KaiCheng took a look at Luo Li but noticed that she was completely focused on Li Rui. It felt as if a snake had bitten his heart and the pain that he felt was slowly being turned into countless energy.

‘I will defeat him in front of you!’

‘I will show you that I am the one who deserves you more than any other man!’

“Fine, not a problem with me. What are the rules?”

Li Rui carelessly shrugged his shoulders.

“An infinite match! We’ll follow the school’s standards for weapons and armor!”

“OK.”

The news of their battle slowly spread to the other classrooms.

One was the captain of the school team and the other was a member of the all-star team. Along with all of the dramas that they had seen before, this was even more interesting than any TV show.

A huge crowd gathered around the classroom.

“Yi KaiChang is going to have an infinite battle with Li Rui? Haha, I guess he’s really pissed off with Li Rui.”

“He’s a dog in the manger. He has been occupying the spot as captain but hasn’t done anything for the team. If I were Yi Kaicheng, even I would teach him a lesson.”

A small, fat boy amongst the crowd complained.

“He’s the champion for the Nationals Junior High Championship, you want to teach him a lesson?”

“Haha, junior high is the golden period for anyone to improve. A month’s time can change a lot of things and can cause a major difference in their strengths. Plus, Li Rui hasn’t been training or competing for the past year. He’s completely useless now; even I could defeat him!”

The fat boy was watching the ring with excitement. He also wants to be the center of attention!

In the ring, Yi KaiCheng had put on his armor and was holding a wooden sword. When he noticed that Li Rui had nothing in his arms, a harsh light flashed across his eyes.

“Where’s your weapon?”

“This is it.”

Li Rui laughed while showing his fist.

“Stop joking around. I’m giving you another chance. Go and choose your weapon!”

Yi KaiCheng pointed his wooden sword toward Li Rui.

He wasn’t worried about losing but was instead afraid that Li Rui would look for an excuse for his defeat.

He knew that he could only gain Luo Li’s attention if he defeated Li Rui fair and square.

He didn’t want to give Li Rui any chance to escape from the humiliation that he was about to give him!

He wants to prove to everyone that he was the strongest in Ming De’s Nine-Tailed Fox (the name of the school team)!

“No need, I don’t need any weapon to fight you. Let’s start.”

Li Rui smiled and wasn’t bothered by it.

“You!”

Yi KaiCheng was so angry that he couldn’t say another word. He then picked up the sword and charged toward Li Rui’s chest.

If Li Rui was hit by this, it would definitely break his ribcage even with the armor on.

Li Rui effortlessly dodged it like a swimming fish.

Ever since the awakening, Li Rui’s abilities had greatly improved.

Even without help from the system, even his basic reflexes, speed, and power have also improved.

In the past, he had only been able to release 50% of his overall abilities. Now, he was able to release about 80% of it!

When facing a much weaker opponent who was a normal student, Li Rui really didn’t know how he could lose the match unless he were to fake it!

“Oh my, he managed to dodge that. Looks like he does have some skills, but I guess that’s all that he has. Yi KaiCheng’s sword isn’t an attack that you can dodge with speed. The faster you dodge, the faster the attack becomes. The only way to defeat him is to break apart his flow.”

The fat boy’s eyes were glowing as he watched the match and discussed it with his friends.

“But why do I feel like Li Rui is not even feeling the pressure. His hands are still behind his back!”

One of his friends asked and only then did the fat boy notice that Li Rui’s expression only showed a carefree smile.

“It’s just a show that he’s putting up. See, he’s about to be forced to the edge of the ring…”

Just before he could finish his sentence, Li Rui opened his mouth.

“Your attacks are weak with no strength and your footwork is a mess. Plus, your reflexes are slow. Are you sure you want to challenge me?”

Li Rui was talking trash with his hands still behind his back as he dodged Yi KaiCheng’s attacks like a master.

His footsteps were light and smooth with a rhythm as if he were dancing the Waltz in the ring. It was just that his partner happened to be an angry boy who was swinging a wooden stick.

Everyone around them let out a soft exclamation. None of them could believe that Li Rui was able to dodge all of Yi KaiCheng’s attacks so easily.

It was so easy for him that it seemed like that both of them weren’t on the same level; it was more like an adult teasing a child.

The sound of exclamations around was like a direct slap to Yi KaiCheng’s face. When he noticed that his opponent was looking so lightly upon him, he got even angrier. His movements became even more aggressive, and all of them directly aimed at Li Rui’s vital points.

Just when he was pointing the wooden sword toward Li Rui’s throat, Li Rui found his opportunity. He turned his left hand, twisted it around the wooden sword like a deadly snake, and grabbed onto it.

Of course, Li Rui only dared to do this because it was a wooden sword. If it were a real sword, it would have slashed off all of his fingers.

Yi KaiCheng tried to pull out his sword but was unsuccessful. The eyes that were looking at him were filled with empathy, and Yi KaiCheng was so angry that all of his veins were already popping out.

“What’s wrong? You didn’t have lunch? Little boy?”

Just when Yi KaiCheng forcefully tried pulling out his sword, Li Rui suddenly let go of it. Yi KaiCheng wasn’t aware of it and fell to the ground.

“HAHAHAHAHA….”

Laughter came from all over, and it was like the sharpest and most poisonous arrow being shot toward Yi KaiCheng’s heart.

He had never been so embarrassed in public!

“Li Rui! You son of a b**ch!”

He stood up and rushed towards Li Rui. He held the sword with both his hands and swung it around like an ax while heading for Li Rui.

Li Rui frowned and there was anger in his eyes.
