Howen had walked into the courtyard, and the people who were originally eating in the courtyard quickly cleared a large space in the middle for them to fight.

Everyone had also followed him out. Fiona saw that the duel was unavoidable and said worriedly to Klein, “Senior, is it good for Howen to do this? What if someone gets injured?” Fiona did not think that Howen would lose. She was just worried that it would blow up matters and make things difficult.

Klein said in an indifferent manner, “What’s there to be afraid of? Senior Howen definitely knows what he’s doing. As long as we don’t kill the other party, who would dare meddle in the affairs of our Sky Blue Magic Academy? Furthermore, this duel had been initiated by that guy with an exaggerated opinion of his own abilities. Even if the matter was pursued, he would have to bear the greater responsibility. Senior would at most be faulted for not stopping this.”

Fiona sighed. These two seniors were getting bolder and bolder. She looked at Serena, who was standing far away from them. She became worried that her junior would not be as close to them as before.

At this time, Ron had already followed him out. Howen said, “Kid, I know you can’t use magical power. In this case, I won’t bully you, and I won’t use magical power either. I’ll fight you with fists and kicks, and I won’t take advantage of you.” Before Ron could say anything, he continued, “But fists and kicks have no eyes, and if it comes to the point where I am unable to hold back, there is nothing I can do. So, whether injured or killed, neither of us can pursue the matter. What do you think?”

“As it should be.”

“Alright.” Howen immediately said loudly, then looked around and said, “We’ll have a fair duel. Unless one side admits defeat, outsiders are not allowed to intervene!” This was a warning to others. After all, this was the Nicholas family clan. If their family members charged out for Ron’s sake, then he might have the blood of many on his hands, and this would be troublesome, so he had to explain it in advance.

Then, he looked at the City Lord, Lein Dupont, and said, “City Lord, you are the most powerful here. Please bear witness.”

City Lord Lein was naturally willing. He said, “Alright, since both sides are willing to compete, then I’ll be the witness. However, it’s best that you don’t hurt the harmony.”

The onlookers treated what he had said as fart when they heard it. Looking at how they were now, they probably would not stop until they hit their brains out. Wouldn’t that hurt the harmony?

Then, Howen looked at Ron. He had originally not wanted to fight with Ron. The other party was a known loser. If he fought with a loser, even if he won, it would not be glorious.

However, this was a task given to him by his teacher because the latter had high hopes for Serena’s future in the path of magical power. But, if she were to get married early and have children, it would definitely affect her future development. More importantly, the other party was even a loser. As such, he couldn’t allow such a good seedling to be ruined in the hands of such a loser. That was why Teacher had instructed him to do this. Moreover, Howen himself had some thoughts on Serena, so he naturally spared no effort to facilitate this matter.

However, he had not expected his junior, Serena, to be so protective of this loser. The two patriarchs of the Nicholas and Campbell family clans were so old yet so insensible. They would rather take the risk of offending their teacher than cancel the engagement. He had no choice but to attack Ron.

All he had to do was to turn Ron into a real cripple, and then Ron would probably stop pestering Serena if he still had any manly pride.

“Alright, let the duel begin!” City Lord Lein announced loudly.

The surroundings instantly fell extremely quiet, and everyone paid close attention to the two persons on the field.

Howen had originally wanted to let Ron make the first move. After all, he was a high flyer from the Sky Blue Magic Academy. After that, he could just casually deliver two blows to defeat his opponent with ease, and even cripple him. It would be an expeditious and poised ending.

But he found that Ron seemed to have the same idea as him, and he also did not want to make the first move, so he had to start. They could not just be standing there, could they? It was better to cripple the other sooner, and then take his junior back to the academy as soon as possible.

Bang!

Howen finally made his move. Cracks suddenly appeared under his feet, and then he charged at Ron like a cannonball.

This was a type of martial skill called the Punching Fist. In the Magic Martial Continent, not only magical power existed, but there were also martial skills. It so happened that for magical power, there was almost no end. There were countless matured paths of advancement. Upon reaching the Divine Mage realm, the might of the magical power could even destroy heavens and earth. More importantly, the Divine Mage realm was not even the end point. Beyond the Divine Mage realm, there were even more powerful and mysterious realms.

In contrast, the path of a martial warrior was very short. The most powerful martial warrior on the Continent was one who existed 200 years ago. He was known as the Martial Saint. He had defeated many Great Magi and had even proceeded to challenge the Great Archmage. However, he was thrown tens of thousands of meters into the air by the Great Archmage’s casual use of a Space Magical Power. Then, he plummeted from the sky and died. The Great Archmage did not even move.

From then on, everyone knew that even if a martial warrior had reached the end of their cultivation path, they would only be on par with a Great Mage at full level. They would not be a match for a Great Archmage at all. Hence, only someone with absolutely no aptitude for magical power would choose the path of a martial warrior. But, anyone with just some magical power aptitude would not choose the martial warrior path.

However, this did not mean that no one cultivated martial art skills. On the contrary, many practised martial arts, even the magi too because many of martial art skills all involved very strong combat capabilities. For example, many of the martial skills could increase one’s mobility, movement speed, and also strengthen one’s body; the benefits were plenty. In fact, a type of specialist profession had even evolved, called the Magic Warrior, which involved the dual cultivation of magical power and martial arts. It enabled one to have strong physical strength and also emanate strong magical power. Those from this profession were indeed very promising because from the start, their combat capability would be stronger than that of ordinary Magi. Therefore, there were many in the Sky Blue Magic Academy who had chosen the profession of a Magic Warrior and not that of a Mage.

Coincidentally, this Howen was the so-called Magic Warrior! He had cultivated both magical power and martial arts. Not only had he cultivated the fire-based magical power, his martial arts cultivation was also very good.

It was also because of this that he was fearless and had said that he would not use magical power but only use martial arts to fight.

Now, he had delivered a blow, instantly, the power was extraordinary. When the others saw it, they were all shocked.

He is just too powerful. He is indeed a befitting top student of the Sky Blue Magic Academy. Even if he does not use magical power but only martial skills, a level-12 Mage will probably not even be his match, given his speed and strength!

Everyone thought, stunned when they saw Howen make his move.
